There Was No Record of This Person

Looking at Yomi Yurika, who seemed to have gone through something, Feng Xue's expression faltered slightly. She then straightened her back and flashed a wild, unrestrained smile, saying:

"Knowing all this, you still dare to stand in front of me?"

"If we don't do it this way, we'll never know the truth!"

Baihe Hua smoothly picked up on the joke, but then, a little hesitantly, she replied:

"Besides, you're already parasitizing me, so there's no point in running away, right?"

"That's true." Feng Xue shrugged, then floated back behind Baihe Hua, and as Bai Hehua circled around like a dog chasing its tail, she smiled and said:

"I'm not teasing you anymore. There are some things I want to ask you about."

He paused slightly, then, with a serious expression on his spoof face—a face seemingly composed of clouds and eye patterns—asked, "May I ask, how much do you know about your parents' jobs?"

"Uh... Eh? Eh?!?" Baihe Hua was slightly taken aback, her emotions a little disjointed, especially when she heard the question about her parents, she was completely dumbfounded.

In reality, she had no interest in the so-called truth. The reason she put on an act of "I've seen through everything" was ultimately to minimize the scope of her influence.

In the past six months, she has witnessed many terrible incidents caused by Weird Tale, and the variety of Weird Tale in her home that changes daily has made her think a lot.

First of all, this intense surveillance was definitely not for her own sake. After all, before "that day," she was no different from an ordinary high school girl. But after that day, she had a stand-in who could see Weird Tale that ordinary people couldn't.

Based on common light novel tropes, there are essentially two possibilities.

One: The Weird Tale is about a secret treasure that resembles the remains of a saint. That treasure has parasitized his body, and his ability to see Weird Tale and possess a substitute is all thanks to that treasure.

Second: The Weird Tale is searching for someone or something else, and that person seems to be hiding near their home. The Weird Tale is just staking out this person, and as for themselves, they are simply unlucky.

Whichever the possibility, it reminded her of that night when the naked man suddenly appeared in her bathroom.

If at first she only considered it a nightmare caused by a Weird Tale, after all this time, she can now be certain that it was all real, but she has forgotten what happened in between for some reason.

Furthermore, she had already confirmed online that the coins seemed to be related to an assassin organization called "Libra." How could she not understand this standard light novel opening?

In the Eastern Kingdom, Weird Tale are villains, terrifying beings that bring death. Therefore, the probability that good people are the ones being hunted by Weird Tale is obviously higher.

Of course, Baihe Hua had considered the possibility of a dogfight, but as she said, since she was already being parasitized, there was no point in struggling. She might as well take advantage of the relatively secluded location to ask the questions she needed to ask, so as not to bring danger to others.

But judging from what the other party said at this moment...

"Are my parents really top assassins from some assassin organization?"

"???" This time it was Feng Xue's turn to be dumbfounded. She thought to herself, "No way, how did I get involved with the ace assassin again?"

The two stared at each other, wide-eyed, until a voice called out, breaking the awkward silence.

"Baihe Hua! What are you doing here?"

Hoshino Rinka's voice was still full of energy. Seeing her best friend run over, Baihe Hua's brow twitched, and she glanced uneasily at Feng Xue. Seeing him disappear, she breathed a sigh of relief, realizing he wouldn't harm Rinka. She then turned to her best friend—

"I was just strolling around."

"Now is not the time to stroll around!"

Rinka ran to Baihe Hua in a few steps, carefully examined her best friend, and only after confirming that she was alright did she solemnly say:

"Recently Kamen Rider and those foreign Weird Tale have been making more and more moves. With the Midsummer Night Festival approaching, it's best not to go out alone! Otherwise, you'll easily become a target of the Weird Tale!"

"I understand." Baihe Hua nodded and followed Rinka towards the Teaching Building, unaware that Rinka was holding a crystal-like card in her pocket, using the Weird Tale card to observe her situation.

"Good, there's no Weird Tale vibe. It should be the real Baihe Hua. Recently, parasitic Weird Tale have started to appear. If Baihe Hua is replaced too, I really don't know what I'll do..."

Rinka breathed a sigh of relief, feeling slightly relieved. Although she was still a little puzzled as to why Baihe Hua had suddenly appeared in the school's backyard, considering her shameless behavior, perhaps she had received a love letter?

"Damn it, I suddenly feel so annoyed!" Looking down at her toes, Rinka suddenly felt a surge of frustration in her chest.

Unfortunately, no matter how much she tried to suppress her anger, she couldn't turn the airport into Mount Fuji. She could only sigh resignedly and head off to explore the campus with her best friend.

"As Kamen Rider Youki, I will definitely protect this school!"

The school bell rang, Baihe Hua returned to her seat, pretending to open her notebook and textbook while whispering to Feng Xue:

What do you know about my parents?

"You know nothing, that's why it's strange." Feng Xue's voice seemed to echo inside her skull, which made Baihe Hua feel a little uncomfortable for a moment, but she still calmed herself down and waited for Feng Xue to continue.

Feng Xue had just retrieved the consultation samples recently collected by the female knight from Rinka, and while transmitting them back to her Main Body for future compatibility with the [Kamen Rider System], she calmly said:

"Your family may not be extremely wealthy, but it's safe to say you're well-off, right?"

"Hmm." Baihe Hua nodded. She had also had doubts about this matter for a while, otherwise she wouldn't have given such a strange answer as "As expected, he's an assassin."

Ultimately, the fact that her parents were almost never home, yet the family had an endless supply of money, was one of the root causes of her Chuunibyou.

Forget about the assassin couple, she even fantasized that her own parents might be some kind of heroes secretly protecting world peace.

Well, actually, she fantasizes more about the evil organization's executives carrying out their wicked plans.

It's just Chuunibyou).

Not being entirely clear on this, Feng Xue didn't concern herself with the girl's Chuunibyou) issue, and continued:

"Actually, I investigated the entire Household Registration system of the Eastern Kingdom. There are fewer than a hundred families with the surname Yami, including relatives and friends. But I couldn't find any trace of your parents among them, or rather, I couldn't find anyone who could be your parents."

Rehabilitation is so tiring, um, there should be another chapter later.
