Chapter 348
Shinomiya Kaguya glanced at it sideways, then turned and left.
"Hey everyone, wait for me!"
Fujiwara Chika then realized what was happening and called out, but no one paid any attention to her.
"Completely abandoned..."
Moeha's expression was also very hurt.
My sister's friends are all such treacherous guys who would betray you for a pretty face!
The weather was scorching hot, and the sun beat down on the golden sand, making the heat waves clearly visible. The sea breeze felt like being in a sauna, and most people would probably feel burned if they stepped on it.
When Hasegawa Izumi noticed this situation, she simply waved her hand, and the temperature in the air dropped significantly, even giving people a sense of coolness.
"Club President, how thoughtful of you!"
Natsukawa Masuzu keenly sensed the change in temperature and couldn't help but make a teasing remark.
"Chika and the others are just ordinary people, aren't they?"
He offered an explanation.
"Oh, I thought he was just concerned about me. Turns out I was just imagining things."
She smiled again.
The two gradually walked to the point where the sea met the beach.
Suddenly, Natsukawa Masuzu loosened her entangled hands and ran happily into the sea, one step at a time. Then she turned around, lifted her little feet, and splashed up a spray of water.
"Hey~! Club President, let's play in the water together~"
"M Liang, when did you become so childish?"
"According to the Club President, this is called 'a childlike heart'!"
"... Completely different."
But.
Although Hasegawa Izumi verbally denied it, he still followed her into the sea and played with her for a while.
It really was just for a short while.
Soon, girls arrived one after another, their colorful swimsuits dazzling the eye.
"I want to play too! Witch, get out of the way, death!"
Dekomori Sanae was the fastest and also the most reckless, launching a direct 'Iron Mountain Lean' attack, clearly in retaliation for her sneaky escape.
"Um?"
Before anyone could react, there was a loud 'bang'. The silver-haired beauty had just turned her head when her figure vanished from the spot, flying directly into the churning waves.
"You bastard!"
Natsukawa Masuzu climbed out of the sea, released his spiritual energy, stood on the surface of the water, and couldn't help but swear.
"Meow~"
Dekomori Sanae lowered her eyes and stuck out her tongue.
"Come and hit me if you dare, Death!"
"Hmph! I'll talk about that after I advance to the next level!"
Natsukawa Masuzu gritted her teeth, then swallowed her anger.
The two sides are now strictly hierarchical, so it's definitely impossible for them to win.
"It's easier to break down this pretentious guy's defenses with such direct methods."
Nibuya Morika brushed a strand of hair that was being blown by the sea breeze, watching the scene with great interest.
The others were also very satisfied with Dekomori Sanae's performance.
"Kukuku, my My other half, after so many years, let me play with you on the beach."
Kōko suddenly appeared nearby, looking very interested.
My Little Sister's mental development is still at a child's level.
Perhaps it's not such a bad thing to remain so naive.
With that thought in mind, Hasegawa Izumi said, "Then I'll play along with you. I'm such a fool."
"Wait, I'm here too!"
Others immediately followed suit.
When the Fujiwara sisters leisurely changed into their swimsuits and arrived at the beach, they saw a scene that greatly surprised them.
Hasegawa, who seemed unapproachable and even aloof, was surprisingly like a very gentle older brother next door, cooperating fully with the girls in all sorts of games, and occasionally showing expressions that were rarely seen on his face before.
"That's strange, is that the impression that Izumi-nii gives off?"
Moeha shook her head and said.
"Indeed... There's only one thing I can think of that could cause such a huge change in a man!"
Fujiwara Chika began to think again.
The next second, the two sisters looked at each other and said in unison.
"I'm in love!"
It was noon.
After playing beach volleyball for a while, the Fujiwara sisters realized they couldn't keep up and quit to become spectators.
At first, it was fine, but before long, everyone's competitive spirit kicked in, and they stopped pretending. They all unleashed their abilities, using all sorts of jaw-dropping moves that could even create huge craters in the ground. 'Murderous volleyball' was no better than this.
"Getting hit by one... wouldn't that kill me?"
"Terrifying! Is this what a battle between superpowered Ability User looks like?!"
The two sisters huddled together, trembling.
"Gurgle... I'm so hungry."
After a while, Fujiwara Chika's stomach growled.
"Stop, I need to make lunch."
Hasegawa Izumi waved.
"OK!"
The girls obediently responded. Although they were reluctant to accept that the outcome of the competition was still uncertain, the allure of the delicious food made them linger even longer.
Back at the villa, they waited for Hasegawa to enter the kitchen.
Fujiwara Chika began her alarmist remarks, placing her hands on her chin like an archway.
"Speaking of which, have you noticed anything unusual about Izumi-chan?!"
Volume 4: Chapter 46 I choose you, Eriri!
"Has it been discovered? Yes! The Club President has been moved by my sincerity!"
Natsukawa Masuzu, even striking a standing pose that they found somewhat strange.
"No, no, no, no..."
"How could that be?"
Who do you think you are?
"Stop being so narcissistic, okay?"
"Go to hell."
The girls either questioned it or were even more dismissive; not one of them believed it.
"Is that so? You're just jealous that I'm more feminine than you."
She sighed and rubbed her forehead.
The others squinted, ignoring her, and continued their discussion.
"I've also noticed this; the Seeker of Truth has become increasingly refined and approachable, and there's been a subtle change in his demeanor..."
Nibuya Morika raised her finger.
"The Lord Sage seems to have something on his mind."
Dekomori Sanae thought back to their recent date in the rain and said with a touch of melancholy.
Eriri and Shinomiya Kaguya exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat awkward.
During this period, they were basically catching up on their studies, and their encounters with Hasegawa were mostly in class, so they didn't notice the subtle differences.
Takanashi Rikka pondered for a while, recalling recent events, before suddenly realizing, "It seems like I've had that feeling since around the beginning of the school year, hasn't it?"
"Could it be because...?"
At that moment, the members of the Far East Magic Society simultaneously recalled that doomsday prophecy.
"Have you got any leads?"
The other girls were still puzzled.
"Actually, the Sage told us something before..."
Takanashi Rikka's gaze suddenly sharpened.
"The end of the world is coming!"
After hearing her story, both Eriri and Shinomiya Kaguya were shocked.
"The end of the world... is it coming? Our world is going to be destroyed!?"
"No! I'm not grown up yet!"
The Fujiwara sisters hugged each other in a panic, tears streaming down their faces.
"No, I don't think that's the case."
"Dekumori also disagrees, because even if the end of the world is coming, there's no way to threaten the Lord Sage's death."
"That person wouldn't do that."
Soon, the girls all rejected the idea.
"Alright, stop making such a fuss. If you Mana want to know, why don't you just ask the Club President himself?"
Natsukawa Masuzu sat down, crossed her two fair and slender legs, and spread her hands out.
They nodded, agreeing with what they said.
Sincerity is the ultimate weapon!
"So who should go?"
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the blonde, twin-tailed young lady.
"Among us, you, as my Childhood Friend, are the most suitable, aren't you?"
"Although I hate to admit it, this guy is indeed the closest to that man."
"Sigh, there's no other way but to let you die."
"I choose you! Go for it, Sawamura-san!"
"Huh?"
Eriri was stunned.
Aren't you all so enthusiastic? Isn't this just shirking responsibility?
Touching a man's heart is not an easy task; it carries risks.
