Chapter 349

"All right."

At this moment, the girl felt immense pressure, but she wasn't so arrogant as to refuse.

This time, she accepted this position that everyone recognized without hesitation.

"I thought someone would refuse... What a pity."

The Silver-haired Witch glanced at her, a hint of regret in her expression.

Because everyone occupies a different position and can play a different role, it is destined that there will be chosen ones only in many situations.

In the living room.

The table was laden with a sumptuous spread of dishes, a wide variety of delicacies on display, their enticing aromas filling the air and making mouths water.

"Marvelous!"

Moeha, tasting this wonderful flavor for the first time, already showed an incredibly happy expression the moment she took a sip of miso soup.

She thought about it again, clenched her fists, and roared in her heart in frustration.

[Damn it, if my sister marries into that family, wouldn't I be able to freeload every day?!]

"Sister, you're so useless."

After finishing lunch, Moeha burped and then turned her head to look.

Fujiwara Chika was completely bewildered by her Little Sister's disdainful look.

The afternoon passed quickly, and soon it was evening.

"Speaking of which, there's even an open-air bathhouse here!"

On the way back, Fujiwara Chika suddenly said.

"An open-air bathhouse? How romantic..."

Shinomiya Kaguya in disapproval.

A thoughtful look flashed in the eyes of the others.

A little while later.

Natsukawa Masuzu changed into a Yukata and arrived at the bathhouse a few minutes later. Looking at the gender information above, a smile appeared on her lips.

She resolutely walked into the men's bathhouse, preparing to complete the CG event of 'entering the wrong bathhouse'.

Just pretend you didn't notice when the time comes!

However, suddenly, pairs of fixed gazes fell upon her.

The girls emerged from the women's bathhouse, clearly having come prepared.

"What are you doing, Death Greedy Witch"

Dekomori Sanae crossed her arms and stared wide-eyed.

"Whispering sound."

Natsukawa Masuzu snorted and had no choice but to walk over.

Trying to sneak away unnoticed is just too much trouble.

Especially since others didn't dare to take advantage of her, she naturally became a target.

Night.

"Thump... thump... thump..."

After instructing her younger Little Sister on her training, Hasegawa Izumi returned to her room, and shortly after, a knock sounded on the door.

He opened the door, and there stood Blonde Haired Girl in a white dress, looking up at him with a blush on her cheeks and sparkling blue eyes.

Instead of the slightly childish pigtails, she let her long hair down, which made her look more elegant than usual, with a dignified air that you would only see in school, and she seemed much more mature.

"Eriri?"

He spoke first, his tone tinged with a hint of doubt.

"Come outside with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Eriri smiled slightly, and without hesitation, reached out and grabbed his wrist.

Successfully got started!

After the two walked out of the room and left the villa.

In the corridor, the doors that were originally closed suddenly opened one after another.

The night sky is ablaze with stars.

Bright stars weave a beautiful Milky Way across the sky.

A man and a woman, one in front of the other, walked along the path, away from the villa, into the forest.

The fireflies and starlight around them lit up their path.

The boy looked down at the girl's hand that was tightly gripping his, then looked up at her long hair that had somehow reached her waist, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

They walked in silence, not knowing how far they had gone.

"Thud."

At the end of the road, the two stopped in front of an artificial fountain.

Volume 4: 47 Because I felt the day of parting was approaching.

The girl in front let go of the boy's hand and stood facing him.

Now that things have come to this, the tension has subsided.

After their detailed conversation under the moonlight, Eriri no longer harbored any resentment.

As for being tsundere or something, that's just a cute attribute in 2D world. Now that she's matured, she knows exactly when to use it.

"Eriri, is there anything you want to say to me?"

"Hasegawa Izumi spoke up."

"Have you been having something on your mind lately? Even those Fox Spirit have noticed you're acting strange... Well, as the only man everyone trusts, if something happens to you, those guys won't be of any use."

Eriri said in a slightly playful tone.

"Um..."

Hasegawa Izumi pondered for a moment, looked back at the road she had come from, then turned back to look at the night sky, her mind filled with a jumble of thoughts.

"A worry? Not really, but I have a premonition."

"A bad feeling?"

Eriri frowned slightly.

"I heard them say it's because the end of the world is coming?"

"Not because of the apocalypse itself, but because..."

Instead of speaking in riddles, he unusually revealed his true feelings, looking directly at the girl and continuing in a slightly melancholy tone.

"I feel that the day of parting with everyone is approaching."

"Parting!?"

Eriri's composure immediately crumbled.

In the woods, a loud rustling sound seemed to come from the wind.

"Quan, explain yourself!"

She asked him in alarm.

It simply means the literal meaning.

"Why?"

"I don't know for sure right now, it's just a feeling..."

"Can't it be changed? With your omnipotent abilities!"

The girl's voice sounded like she was pleading for something.

"Being able to do something and having everything go exactly as I wish are two different things. Perhaps, one day in the future, when I reach that 'infinite' realm, I will be able to achieve true 'omniscience and omnipotence'."

He lowered his brow and sighed softly.

The moonlight shimmered on the water's surface, and the gentle, unhurried sound echoed in the quiet night. The girl lowered her head, her expression blank. An invisible pressure, like a boulder pressing on her heart, made her clench her clothes tightly, rendering her speechless for a moment.

That night, apart from the Fujiwara sisters and Kōko, no one slept peacefully.

Early the next morning.

Ah, I slept so well last night.

Is it morning yet?

The Fujiwara sisters stretched, jumped out of bed, and went to the living room.

At first glance, they saw the sumptuous breakfast already prepared on the table, their eyes lit up, and they pounced on it like tigers pouncing on sheep.

"Hey, it's just a few of us. Where is everyone else? Still sleeping in? What a bunch of lazybones, they're such a worry!"

Fujiwara Chika then noticed that only the Hasegawa siblings were in the living room, and immediately expressed her pride.

"Kukuku... They have been corrupted by the Dark Power and are preparing to become our Night Blood Clan!"

Kōko, who was watching TV, turned her head.

Hasegawa Izumi didn't say anything, but the reason was obvious.

Perhaps the news from last night was too much for the girls to accept and process.

"Moeha, let's go wake them up!"

Fujiwara Chika wiped the drool from her mouth, mustered great willpower to look away, and led her Little Sister to knock on each door.

"No."

Just then, the girls walked out of the corridor, but they looked less lively and somewhat expressionless.

Is it just morning grumpiness?

The Fujiwara sisters secretly speculated about it.

The girls sat down around the table, their eating movements becoming somewhat mechanical.

The atmosphere is subtly shifting.

This left the Fujiwara sisters, who were completely unaware of the situation, feeling ashamed and not daring to say a word.

Breakfast was spent in silence.

At the same time.

On a distant island off the resort island, a world-renowned 'alien autopsy incident' is unfolding in full swing.

The opening of Hito Island is still some time away, scheduled for August 15th.

However, many tourists have already started to arrive, and some world-renowned media outlets have also flocked here, all in an effort to get the first-hand information and create a big news story.

"Everyone, I'm so jealous!"

"Today we've arrived at Hito Island. As everyone knows, in just one week, the Mikasane Zaibatsu will be demonstrating the existence of extraterrestrials here to the public. Aren't you all excited? Perhaps this time we really will be able to see these so-called 'aliens'..."

Not far away, a female reporter was holding a microphone and reporting into the camera.

In the corner, a figure carrying a knife flashed by.

"Honestly, making them do this troublesome work again."

Isayama Yomichi, munching on a chocolate bar, walked along a deserted path, muttering complaints under her breath.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated, causing her to stop in her tracks.

"Hey, Huang Quan, have you arrived yet?"
