87. Sakurai is sharpening his knife.

Sakurai toyed with the Arakami Fang, his eyes filled with impatience, displeasure, and annoyance.

He clearly came here to cause a scene, how did he end up being treated like a nanny?

When are these two going to wake up?

For the first time in his life, Sakurai began to wonder if he could have a little easier time if he possessed the power to control the supernatural, like Little Night Snack.

At least, I don't have to wait here while those two women are stuck here.

After tentatively stabbing himself and reading the timeline, Sakurai discovered that in ten thousand futures, if he left this place to investigate the supernatural occurrences in the school and abandoned the two girls...

Without exception, they survived in every single timeline.

Even if he forcibly brought the two unconscious women along, in most cases they would still die at the school.

If Sakurai forcibly drags them up before they wake up on their own, both of them will suffer irreversible brain damage.

In this situation--

Sakurai, who lacks the means to treat himself, is indeed having a bit of a headache.

Even Sakurai was somewhat at a loss in the current situation.

If he could, he certainly wouldn't mind going all out, but in reality, Sakurai had to compromise to ensure the safety of the two girls.

That's right, Sakurai doesn't care about many things, but that definitely doesn't include the lives of innocent people.

If he were to throw away a life that could have been saved for a moment of pleasure, then he wouldn't be Eito Sakurai.

With no other choice, Sakurai was forced to stay here.

During this time, he had wondered if it was possible that the guy who controlled the school was deliberately stalling him.

If we're talking about the paranormal phenomena that have occurred so far involving someone named Sachiko Shinozaki, the probability of this happening is quite high.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Sakurai's urge to cause a scene grew stronger.

If you don't give him a chance to vent, he really might get angry.

Soon...

Soon, I will be standing before you. When that happens, I'll have to do everything in my power to cause a huge scene.

Sakurai, having repeatedly read the future timeline, knew that it wouldn't be long before Naomi Nakajima and Seiko Shinohara were able to trust each other from their comas, and by then...

He's capable of causing a huge scene at will.

They wouldn't stop until they completely destroyed the entire Heavenly God Elementary School.

Soon, soon.

Sakurai has been able to vaguely communicate with the [spirit] of the Arakami Fang and the Eight-Sided Bright Silver Hammer during this battle.

His two partners will then be able to recover.

......

Rewind to a short time ago, Sakurai, who had just finished playing in the maze, saved Shinohara Seiko, who had just teetered on the brink of death and was now mentally broken.

She held his hand tightly and refused to let go.

Naomi Nakajima, equally terrified by Shinohara Seiko's actions, was completely stunned. She sat motionless on the bathroom floor, seemingly in a daze.

Then, just as Sakurai was about to forcibly pull Shinohara Seiko off him, he keenly sensed a change in the atmosphere.

Without thinking too much, he lifted Shinohara Seiko, who was clinging to him, and in a few strides, he reached Nakajima Naomi's side, grabbing her shoulder. The next instant...

The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking.

The space in which the three of them were located changed.

......

When Naomi Nakajima opened her eyes again, she was in a closed classroom.

Not far from her, just like when she first mistakenly entered Tenjin Elementary School, Shinohara Seiko was sleeping soundly, snoring away.

However, unlike before...

Naomi Nakajima looked behind her and saw the boy who called himself Sakurai leaning against the wall, fiddling with the dagger that had saved Shinohara Seiko, seemingly lost in thought.

"that..."

"Are you awake?"

"If you're awake, quickly pull the other guy up for me,"

"It's time to go."

Before Naomi Nakajima could speak, Sakurai coldly interrupted her.

He gestured for her to quickly pull Shinohara Seiko, who was still sleeping, up.

"that..."

"Thank you for saving Seiko."

Naomi Nakajima, struggling to walk across to Sakurai's side, bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle to express her heartfelt gratitude.

"So you really don't remember?"

"Well...maybe this is actually better for you."

After glancing thoughtfully at Naomi Nakajima, Sakurai uttered these ambiguous words.

"???"

Naomi Nakajima, who felt that Sakurai's behavior was completely different from before, had a feeling that perhaps this cold demeanor was the real Sakurai, rather than his sunny smile.

Regardless, the other party was Shinohara Seiko's savior, probably...

He's a good person.

Thinking this, Naomi Nakajima hesitantly called out to Seiko Shinohara, who was still smacking her lips.

Looking around in confusion, Shinohara Seiko finally looked at Nakajima Naomi and instinctively wanted to scream.

Then, just before she could shout, a peeled apple landed perfectly in Shinohara Seiko's mouth.

"You should know more about [that person's] situation than I do. Some things weren't her intention."

"You saw it later, didn't you?"

"She was desperate to save you."

Nakajima Naomina, who had been pointed out by Sakurai, finally realized what was happening.

"I'm sorry, Seiko..."

"I think I said something really hurtful to you."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

After hearing Nakajima Naomi's apology, Shinohara Seiko pondered for a moment, then looked thoughtfully at Nakajima Naomi's apologetic face.

The fear on Shinohara Seiko's face, who was holding a medium-sized apple in her mouth, was quickly replaced by excitement and Nakajima Naomi's extremely peculiar expression of being unable to move.

With her cheeks puffed out and her whole body straining, Shinohara Seiko used her super strong jaw muscles to bite the apple in half in one go.

"Great...chew...I knew it...chew...that definitely wasn't Yumi...chew."

He clung tightly to Nakajima Naomi, chewing on an apple while mumbling something indistinctly.

In the end, he could only watch, bewildered, as tears and saliva mixed with apple juice fell onto his shoulder.

"It's alright...it's all alright now."

Naomi Nakajima, looking exasperated, patted Shinohara Seiko on the back, seemingly to comfort her or perhaps to prevent her from choking on her food.

88. The evil spirits are vanquished, and the wicked are driven away... Guan Naixue, successful strategy!

"You mean, that Sakurai Eito is also an exorcist?"

"What a joke! Do you think I would believe such absurd nonsense?"

With wide eyes, Yoshiki Kishinuma almost rushed up and punched Miko Yotsuya.

The series of events he encountered at Tianshen Elementary School turned him into a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.

Especially when the person already has a very bad temper.

If Yotsuya Miko is still making these baseless jokes, he really wouldn't mind hitting a girl hard.

"Kishinuma, calm down."

Shinozaki Ayumi tugged at Kishinuma Yoshiki's sleeve twice and shook her head at her.

"Um, is this Yotsuya Miko? May I ask what exactly happened with Sakurai-san?"

Shinozaki Ayumi, equally bewildered, kept telling herself to calm down. Her intuition told her that if she wanted to save Mochida and everyone else, the situation of the uninvited Sakurai was crucial.

"The BOSS accepted the request from the Tokyo area's [Manager] to investigate the ghost story game [Happy Sachiko] as a special force and find out the existence hidden behind this game."

“Suppress them and then punish them.”

"By the way, the psychic detective you call Nanaho Saeki and her teacher, the strange novelist Kihiro Onibe, were dispatched personnel who accepted this commission before the BOSS."

Yotsuya Miko explained the whole story to the two people and the spirit.

"The BOSS originally planned to handle this incident alone, and he has always acted alone."

"But Little Night Snack insisted on following along, and in the end, the BOSS had no choice but to take her with him."

"In that case, the original method can't be used. The BOSS gave me the address when we set off, and asked me to complete the game of Happy Sachiko together."

As Yotsuya Miko spoke, she couldn't help but clench her fist. Even though she knew that Sakurai was just that kind of person, she would still be angry if he was treated as a prop and had to come into close contact with the supernatural.

You should know that those with the ability to see ghosts are most afraid of this kind of thing.

Especially when you're terrified but have to force yourself to act like you're not afraid.

God knows what she's been through with those late-night snacks lately.
