Even though Kato Megumi had witnessed some truly magical scenes, she remained silent at this moment after Omega confirmed with her own words that magic existed in the real world.

Before entering the house, she had many things she wanted to say to Qingmei.

But once she got home, she realized she couldn't remember anything she wanted to say.

After answering Oume's question, Kasugano Mirai waited for her to continue asking questions, such as when they met, how they met, and whether this was the reason she transferred to Chiba.

But in the end, he saw Qingmei hesitate several times, but she didn't say a word.

After a moment's thought, he guessed why Qingmei had turned out this way.

"When we encounter powerful or influential people, our first reaction is to avoid them. Only a few people who have something to gain will flatter them."

"For ordinary people, magic, this extraordinary existence, is more terrifying than those with power and influence in reality. Their first reaction is naturally one of awe and distance."

Seeing magic suddenly in reality, Megumi needs time to calm her agitated emotions.

At this point, I don't need to explain anything, nor do I need to clarify anything.

"Once she calms down, she will naturally ask the questions that have been on her mind."

Having figured this out, Kasugano Mirai was no longer in a hurry.

He leisurely sipped his tea, and even had the time to go back to the kitchen to prepare some snacks and treats for himself.

The silent girl and the tea-drinking boy seemed to be in perfect harmony.

Time passed slowly, perhaps an hour, perhaps two or three hours.

Kasugano Mirai's teacup has been filled with water many times, and even her snacks have been added two or three times.

Finally, Kato Megumi looked up and stared directly at Aome, her eyes now calm and serene as ever: "Mirai, can you tell me when you met her?"

Kasugano Mirai put down her teacup, sat up straight, and said, "Five years ago."

Upon hearing this answer, Kato Megumi nodded thoughtfully: "For five years, she has remained the same... like the little moe teacher in A Certain Magical Index, or Natsuki Minami in Strike the Blood?"

Kasugano Mirai hadn't expected Oume's focus to be so strange, but she still nodded in agreement: "Natsumi has always been like that."

It was only after being reminded by Qingmei that he belatedly realized something.

"Five years ago, I was twelve, and Kurumi was seventeen even though she had just become a spirit and arrived in this world. So, wouldn't you say she's an older woman dating a younger man?"

As for Yoshino and Nanami, not to mention that when Kasugano Mirai explained to the three spirits why he knew them, he already knew from them that the timeline of the three spirits was different from the timeline of the beginning of the story in his memory, the fact that the two little ones are so easy to win over is enough to prove that they are definitely not the age at the beginning of the original story.

Therefore, it's really hard to say whether it's an older woman eating younger men, a younger woman eating older men, or a younger woman eating younger men.

As Kasugano Mirai's thoughts began to wander, he didn't notice that after Omote learned the answer from him, her lips moved several times, and finally she shook her head, as if she had denied something.

When he came to his senses and looked at Qingmei, she had already returned to normal.

"Besides Sora's reasons, she must have played a significant role in why Mirai transferred to Chiba, right?"

Upon hearing this, Kasugano Mirai first shook her head, then nodded.

Then, before Qingmei could ask any questions, he took the initiative to explain, "Hui's guess is correct. There is indeed this reason why we transferred to Chiba School."

"However, you're wrong about one thing. It's not her, it's them."

Upon hearing the answer, Kato Megumi wondered if she was hallucinating.

The supernatural existence of mastering magic, which ordinary people avoid like the plague, means that being able to capture the heart of even one person is already a blessing from one's ancestors.

So you not only won over one person, but judging from your tone, it seems like you've won over several more? And they're all like that?

Even with her past life's experiences and having witnessed countless grand scenes, this was truly the first time Kato Megumi had encountered such a situation!

For a moment, the girl fell silent.

This time, she even began to question the meaning of life.

—Is she just inexperienced, or is the world just too crazy?

Why has reality become so surreal?

Or is it, as described in novels, that those who wield magic still follow the old system of polygamy?

For whatever reason, Kato Megumi didn't think about it anymore.

Because she knew very well that the existence of these people was a devastating blow to her and Kasugano Sora.

Don't say they don't mind him finding a few other girls out of guilt; even if they did mind, what could they do?

Force Kasugano Mirai to break up with the other person?

Believe it or not, the other party will first disembowel you on the rooftop with a machete, and then send you on a cruise ship sailing at sea?

Only when both sides are on equal footing can the stronger party have a say.

The weak should either yield or avoid confrontation; forcibly resisting will only result in a bloody end.

Finally, Kato Megumi looked up at Omega and said, "It's getting late, I should go."

Kasugano Mirai glanced at the sunlight streaming into the living room through the window and said politely, "I'll give it to you."

Chapter 105 My Daughter Has Grown Up [5k]

Kato Megumi didn't let Aome go too far. After arriving at the alley entrance, she turned to Kasugano Mirai and said, "Mirai, I'll leave you here. Miss Nanami is still waiting for you at home."

"…Um."

Kasugano Mirai did not insist on continuing to deliver the goods.

As Qingmei said, Seven Sins is still at home, and today is their date. How low must his emotional intelligence be to leave her at home unattended?

And so, he stood at the alley entrance, watching the girl's figure gradually disappear into the distance, her slender back going from clear to blurry to a black dot, until it vanished completely.

At this point, he finally turned around and went back to the rented room.

The room remained exactly as it had been when the two left, except that the hot tea on the coffee table had gone cold.

Kasugano Mirai sat down in her original spot, not minding that the tea had gone cold, and picked it up to gulp it down.

"Rustling, rustling~"

Perhaps Seven Sins had finally mentally prepared herself, or perhaps it was simply because Kato Megumi had already left.

In short, when Kasugano Mirai started drinking tea, the little girl walked out of the bedroom shyly.

This time, she no longer maintained her previous image as a stunningly beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure.

"Hentai, have I caused you any trouble?"

It's easy to hear the girl's frustration and disappointment in her voice from those words.

In fact, whether it's Nanami or Yoshino, they are simply naive, not stupid.

—The former suffered from domestic violence and school bullying since childhood, while the latter has been constantly hunted down by the AST forces after becoming an elf. If they were really stupid, they would have been used as lab rats in a laboratory like some useless old aunt.

In fact, due to Nanami's unique experiences, she appears to be more sensible and mature than Yoshino.

The little girl knew very well that once the people in this world without supernatural powers learned that magic like that in novels was real, their peaceful life would instantly vanish, and countless conspiracies, tricks, demons, and monsters would follow.

Kasugano Mirai could sense the unease, frustration, and self-blame in the girl's words.

He smiled gently at this.

He stood up, walked over to the little girl, raised his large hand and placed it on her head, ruffling her neatly styled, smooth hair into a mess like a bird's nest.

"This is far from being troublesome!"

"If I had to describe it, it would be an accident at best."

"Accident?"

Seven Sins raised her little head, ignoring his head-patting gesture, her eyes filled with confusion: "Why do you say that?"

"Hui and I grew up together. I know her personality inside and out, if not inside and out."

"She's not the kind of person who speaks without thinking, so there's no need to worry about leaking secrets."

Upon hearing this answer, a hint of something unreadable appeared in the girl's eyes: "You always have to consider the worst-case scenario. What if she leaks the secret?"

"What if Megumi really leaks the secret? Not to mention whether others would believe it, has Seven Sins forgotten about Kurumi?"

"Uh…"

The little girl was speechless.

She was so focused on the secret being exposed that she forgot about the bug that existed on their side.

—Time manipulation ability, no matter what world it is, is at least a top-tier and troublesome ability, if not unsolvable.

The most typical example is Doctor Strange, who possessed the Time Stone in Avengers: Endgame.

What's the use of winning 14000604 times with purple sweet potato essence?

The other side is a bunch of cheaters who have no fighting spirit, reload your save and start over!

Not to mention, because of Queen's existence, Kurumi Tokisaki can still use spatial abilities.

When time and space are combined, the effect they produce goes far beyond the simple equation of one plus one equals two.

After understanding this, Seven Sins felt much less guilty, and her wrinkled little face gradually relaxed.

At this moment, she began to recall her previous meeting with Kato Megumi, and said with some confusion, "Hentai, you, my childhood friend, give me a very strange feeling."

"What's weird?"

"Judging from her behavior, she must have encountered us a long time ago, but she didn't come up to talk to us. She just followed us from a distance."

"I was clearly being followed, yet I didn't notice anything amiss. Isn't that strange enough?"

"Just now in the bedroom, out of curiosity and caution, I briefly sensed her presence and discovered that she was truly just an ordinary, perfectly normal girl, but this ability..."

Upon hearing this, Kasugano Mirai burst into laughter. She laughed so hard that she even exaggeratedly clutched her stomach, looking like she was laughing so hard her stomach hurt.

Seven Sins: o(▼ dishes ▼メ;)o

Seeing that the expression on Nanami's face was turning from sunny to cloudy, Kasugano Mirai suppressed a laugh and said, "I guess this ability is Megumi's talent."

“From childhood to adulthood, Xiaoqiong and I have been frightened by her ability countless times, but over time we have gotten used to it.”

“I often tease her about this, saying that she should be an assassin in the world of Type-Moon or Assassin’s Creed or League of Assassins, instead of being an ordinary high school student in this ordinary world.”

Seven Sins curled his lip: "What's wrong with the ordinary world? The situation is relatively stable, there isn't much war, and most people can survive."
