Interstellar Travel Starting from Demonic Inferiority Chapter 38

"Is that so? Speaking of which, do you want me to take you to see my sister and have some fun? I'm already off duty today, so I don't have anything else to do!"

"Really? That's a pity then! I have a mountain of things to deal with, so I don't have the time to go out with you."

Kudo Mitsunobu said this without even lifting his eyelids.

"You don't sound like you find it a pity at all. Kudo-kun, you're as uncute as ever! You haven't had a childlike bone in your body since you were little."

"I'm sorry for not acting like a child, then!"

"Anyway, the people from the Jumonji House will be here soon to clean up the battlefield. Are you going to keep waiting here?" Kudo Mitsunobu asked.

"Forget it, then! I don't want to waste my rare day off on this. I'll head back and get some rest."

Fujibayashi Kyoko waved her hand in refusal. She had only come as a precaution, and since the matter had been perfectly resolved, there was no need for her to stay any longer.

@Primordial Sun Thank you for the tip, big brother.

Thank you all for the tickets.

Still asking for tickets and follows. By the way, I've started uploading images for the first chapter.

If it doesn't look right, please refresh.

Chapter 32: Let's Keep Working Hard from Now On

After finishing the cleanup of the battlefield, Kudo Mitsunobu and Jumonji Katsuto drove back to the school. The school no longer looked like the war zone it had been moments ago; all the terrorists had been dealt with.

"I'll head back to the Student Council office to handle the follow-up matters."

Jumonji Katsuto said after parking the car.

"Alright, I'll go to the infirmary to check on Mibu-senpai. Would you like to come with me, Kirihara-senpai?" Kudo Mitsunobu looked at the somewhat restless Kirihara Takeaki.

"No, I'll wait until next time."

Kirihara Takeaki rejected Kudo Mitsunobu's suggestion. He still didn't know how to face Mibu Sayaka; he wanted to wait for a private moment before going to apologize to her.

"Is that so? Then I'll be sure to tell Mibu-senpai how Kirihara-senpai flew into a rage for her sake."

"Hey, you guy."

At this moment, Mibu Sayaka's infirmary was crowded with a group of people seeking the truth.

Saegusa Mayumi, Watanabe Mari, Shiba Tatsuya, Shiba Miyuki, Leo, Chiba Erika, and their school nurse, Ono Haruka?

"Where did you go? Why were you so slow? You didn't even reply to my messages."

The moment Kudo Mitsunobu pushed the door open, he was met with an interrogation from Saegusa Mayumi.

"Sorry, sorry. I went to handle some things just now. Why are you all in Mibu-senpai's room? Are you all here to visit?"

Mibu Sayaka naturally saw Kudo Mitsunobu enter, which reminded her of the bloody scene from earlier, and she couldn't help but shrink back.

"We've already clarified it. Mibu-senpai's memories must have been interfered with to a certain extent, leading to cognitive bias."

Shiba Tatsuya spoke up.

"Yes, that goes without saying."

"Because she was controlled by Shiichi, the leader of the Japanese [blance] branch, using the [Evil Eye]. I came here specifically to tell Mibu-senpai about this."

Kudo Mitsunobu shrugged. He naturally saw the fear on Mibu Sayaka's face when she looked at him, but he didn't care about such things.

"How do you know that?"

Watanabe Mari frowned and asked.

"Didn't I say I had things to handle earlier? The things I was handling were just cleaning up some of the remaining lackeys with Jumonji-senpai."

"When I captured Shiichi, he said it himself. So, Senpai, you won't be held accountable for this. From now on, you can just focus on recovering."

"Is that so!"

Mibu Sayaka didn't hear a word about being cleared of charges; all she could think about was Kudo Mitsunobu's mention of being controlled by the Evil Eye.

"So all my self-pity over this past year was because I was being controlled? How ridiculous!"

Mibu Sayaka shed tears once more, her heart filled with nothing but regret for herself. It was her own weakness that had allowed someone to take advantage of her.

"So, let's keep working hard from now on! Take this regret and frustration and use them to refine your swordsmanship even further!"

Watanabe Mari said with her arms crossed. She felt a slight sense of guilt toward Mibu Sayaka; although it wasn't her fault, Mibu Sayaka had ultimately been targeted and used as a pawn because of her words.

"Then we shall take our leave."

"We will come to visit again another day."

Seeing that the matter had been resolved satisfactorily, Shiba Tatsuya had no intention of lingering.

Besides, his original purpose in coming along was to find out the mastermind from Mibu Sayaka and deal with anyone who might hinder his sister's high school life.

"I'll be taking my leave as well."

"But before I go, I'll say one thing. Senpai said earlier that her year was wasted, but I don't think that's the case."

"Even though that detestable woman said what I wanted to say, which really annoys me."

"But if you still have doubts about your own strength, then I'll be happy to spar with you sometime."

"My name is Chiba Erika, and as the direct successor of the Chiba Dojo, I shall be the one to test your strength when the time comes."

After finishing her sentence, Chiba Erika grabbed Leo, who was still sitting blankly in his chair, and headed out the door.

Watanabe Mari, who had been called a hateful woman, didn't seem angry in the slightest; she had long since grown accustomed to Chiba Erika's attitude, as it had been that way from the very beginning.

Facing Mibu Sayaka's puzzled gaze, Watanabe Mari offered an explanation.

"She is correct; I am also a student of the Chiba Dojo. However, I have only attained the Mokuroku level, while she holds the Inka. If we are speaking strictly of swordsmanship, her skill is far above mine."

There was one thing, however, that Watanabe Mari left unsaid: Chiba Erika's true strength far exceeded the Inka rank. Had it not been for the messy internal affairs of the Chiba House, Chiba Erika would likely have been awarded the Menkyo Kaiden rank long ago.

This was something all the students of the Chiba Dojo had witnessed for themselves; otherwise, Chiba Erika would not hold such a high status in their hearts. It was all a testament to her talent and her strength.

"Is that so!"
