Chapter 86

"No, no, I didn't!"

The shy Kōko started speaking in the Kyushu dialect.

"So he's Brother complex?"

Natsukawa Masuzu understood, then pouted and said, "And she's a tsundere too. Is that a fixed trait of blonde twins?"

Her complaints were, of course, heard by others.

"Please don't judge a book by its cover, Natsukawa -kun."

Eriri, of course, reacted the most, smiling slightly but with a hint of malice in her eyes.

"I wasn't talking about you, Sawamura-san, please don't take it personally."

Natsukawa Masuzu reply made her punch feel like it had landed on cotton.

"Greedy Witch, your judgment is clearly flawed. I'm not that kind of person, Dekumori."

Dekomori Sanae looked at him with disdain and patted her chest.

"Indeed, many laws of the world are not applicable to fools."

Natsukawa Masuzu glanced back at him with a disdainful look.

"As expected, a vile creature like you is best used as a living sacrifice for summoning magic—death!"

Dekomori Sanae's anger flared up, and she clenched her fists.

Even when outnumbered two to one, he still had the upper hand.

Clearly, Natsukawa is far superior to the other two in terms of eloquence.

"Summoning magic?"

Kōko suddenly noticed the well-carved Magic Circle in the center of the room, her eyes filled with excitement, and she even let go of her brother's hand that he had used to comfort her.

"Kukuku... You actually set up Magic Circle in secret! My other half, your usual activities are more interesting than I imagined!"

Kōko stepped onto the Magic Circle, as if she understood something.

"Would you like to try it? The Sage's Little Sister, it was this that the Sage used to summon you to death."

Dekomori Sanae's attention was quickly diverted by this action.

She revered the Lord Sage, and naturally, her initial impression of his Lord Sage was also positive.

"Summon me?"

Kōko was taken aback at first, then struck her signature V-sign pose, revealing a hint of arrogance as she said, "Don't misunderstand, I chose to descend to this place, not because I was guided by my My other half! Also, don't call me 'the Sage's Little Sister' with such childish terms. I am Resis Vifelicity Huang, the great True Ancestor Vampire, a being beyond this world!"

"What did you say? A vampire?"

"Impossible! The Lord Sage's Little Sister is a vampire?"

Takanashi Rikka and Dekomori Sanae both wore expressions of disbelief and solemnity.

Because the reputations of Sage and vampires are extremely different.

One is a wise being who guides the world forward, and the other is an evil being who lives by sucking blood. They are two sides of the same coin, good and evil, and cannot coexist.

Hasegawa Izumi instantly understood the meaning behind the two girls' reactions.

He could only say that the title of "Sage" was just Rikka casually assigned him; the title he used before was actually "Seeker of Truth," and his current self-identification was that of a "Preacher."

"Judging from your expressions, you don't think I'm your enemy, do you? I don't care. I've already assessed your strength through my My other half; you're utterly insignificant!"

Kōko crossed her arms and said with a hint of smugness.

This arrogant behavior naturally provoked their anger.

"Don't be so arrogant, Death! You're just a mere vampire; I, the Thunder Hammer User, am your nemesis!"

With one hand on her hip, Dekomori Sanae pointed to the ground and said...

"What!?"

A look of panic crossed Kōko's face.

Lightning is indeed very effective against dark attributes.

"Didn't you just say you understood their strength? Why are you so panicked?"

Natsukawa Masuzu said with a puzzled look on her face.

"It's all just talk, and you can easily change the settings."

Nibuya Morika turned her head away, as if scoffing.

"Oh, I didn't know that was the case. You're so knowledgeable, Nibuya."

She gave him a flirtatious look, but he simply looked away.

"Well, now that the person has been delivered, I'll head back."

Before she could suppress the smile on her lips, Eriri chose to leave the stage.

"Club President, they're about to start fighting!"

With her hands clasped into a megaphone shape, Natsukawa Masuzu offered this reminder, but it felt more like she was inciting the girls to start a war.

"Alright, alright, this isn't a place for fighting. Kōko is my Little Sister. Rikka and Dekumori, don't worry, I vouch for her. And Kōko, you too, aren't you here to keep an eye on me? But I get the feeling you're here to start a fight."

Hasegawa Izumi displayed the aura of a leader and older brother, and under the intimidation of his eyes, everyone submitted.

"Hmm."

Kōko puffed out her cheeks.

"I see."

Rikka and Dekumori both lowered their heads.

After that.

Kōko also took the opportunity to demonstrate her Blood Summoning Magic.

"Darkness is my only friend, blood is the true meaning of life. Braving the stars and moon, trampling the heavens and mountains, you ferocious wolf, in the name of the Lord of Night, I command you to descend upon the mortal world...!"

In the darkness, a crimson light appeared, allowing the Gothic Lolita standing within the Magic Circle to strike a pose, though the excitement on her face seemed mismatched with her air of superiority.

"It's my turn, death!"

Dekomori Sanae quickly pushed her away and took her place again.

The three of them played several rounds like this.

"Is this thing really that fun? Are they going to play with it all day?"

With one hand supporting her chin, Natsukawa Masuzu that it was almost tiresome to watch.

"You don't understand now, but you will in the future."

"Nibuya Morika said quietly."

"Then let's forget about it."

Natsukawa Masuzu squinted, her thoughts unreadable.

She only pretended to join in to tease them, she didn't actually want to become a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)!

After a while.

"Knock knock knock."

Suddenly someone knocked on the door again.

Upon opening the door, a lovely girl, as beautiful as a cherry blossom, appeared before me.

"Izumi-chan ~ I heard that Kōko came to Shuchiin, so I came to see her."

Fujiwara Chika stated her purpose directly, with a broad smile.

"The news travels really fast."

He made a comment and then moved aside.

"Kōko ~"

Fujiwara Chika peeked inside, her gaze quickly locking onto Kōko, and they soon mingled together.

This is quite normal, though; apart from Natsukawa, Chika-chan is already familiar with everyone else.

"Fujiwara, Sawamura, Shinomiya... Hasegawa really knows a lot of rich Young Lady. Could it be that Hasegawa is actually a rich kid himself?"

Nibuya Morika stood to the side, lost in thought.

"No, the Club President's family background is actually quite ordinary. His parents are just archaeologists. The fact that things have turned out this way is clearly because of Club President."

Natsukawa Masuzu suddenly leaned back in the seat next to her.

"It seems you admire Hasegawa quite a bit? I thought you just wanted to use them as pranks."

Nibuya Morika heard a different meaning in it.

What is this guy's true nature hidden beneath his surface?

"These two things are not contradictory."

Natsukawa smiled brightly.

Nibuya Morika's eye twitched, and she immediately moved to a different spot, as if the other person was emitting an unpleasant stench.

He's a dangerous guy, I'd better stay away from him...

Happy times always pass quickly, and the afterglow of the setting sun had unknowingly painted the school grounds red.

The Far East Magic Society members parted ways at the school gate.

Goodbye, everyone, and goodbye, Club President.

Natsukawa Masuzu waved goodbye, her long silver hair swaying in the wind, so beautiful.

I'm leaving now.

Nibuya Morika followed closely behind and left.

"Master, are you sure there are no missions today?"

Dekomori Sanae's gaze lingered with reluctance.

"They've calmed down a bit lately, but I feel like it's the calm before the storm."

Takanashi Rikka shook her head, then her eyes narrowed.

"I understand, Dekumori. I will practice twice as hard to improve my skills!"

Dekomori Sanae clenched her fist tightly.

So the remaining three of them temporarily traveled together towards the tram.

"Kukuku... Night is about to fall, and my power grows ever stronger. Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King User to travel with me under these circumstances? You've got some nerve!"

"The Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King User a being who wields the Dark Power with Heart of Justice, and has never been afraid of the darkness. You underestimate me."

"Is that so? No wonder you used a device to cover your other eye; so that's your source of power."

"Hmph, so they noticed? This isn't the kind of eyesight an ordinary vampire possesses. Truly worthy of the name of a True Ancestor."

Amidst these verbal exchanges and the strange looks from many ordinary people, Hasegawa Izumi embarked on her journey home.

The last stretch of road before arriving home after the tram arrives at the station.

"What do you think of them, Kōko?"

Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, he asked curiously.

"The Greedy Witch, Mori Summer, the Thunder Hammer User, and the Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King User... Well, they're not bad, barely allies of my My other half. Especially that Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King User, he seems a bit troublesome, and might become a formidable enemy in the future."

Kōko's impressions of the people flashed through her mind, and she made her comments.

"In other words, everyone has your approval."

He smiled contentedly and reached out to ruffle his Little Sister's golden hair.
