Chapter 67: Heading to Headquarters, So Punctual?

"That's how it is."

"Oh..."

Having learned about world consciousness from Rikka, Takanashi Touka and Kato Megumi nodded.

"If that's the case, then our world should have a world consciousness, right? Could it be our mysterious director?"

"You're asking me? I don't know either! Team Leader Toka, I'm just a lowly S-class investigator, I've never even seen the director."

Kato Megumi's performance was very natural, and every movement seemed to blend into the surrounding environment.

"Speaking of which, what should we do next? Continue the investigation? Or go to headquarters?"

"Let's head back first..."

Ding Dong~!

As they were talking, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Takanashi Touka paused for a moment, exchanged a glance with Kato Megumi, and finally stood up to open the door.

Behind Takanashi Touka, Kato Megumi pulled a strangely shaped gun from under her skirt.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and put on a very serious expression.

Then he raised his gun and aimed it at Takanashi Touka's back.

Um, don't get me wrong, this isn't about attacking Takanashi Touka, but rather preparing to deal with any enemies that might appear at the door.

"Who?"

"Class A investigator Touka Takanashi, Class S investigator Megumi Kato, don't be nervous, it's me, Reine Murasame."

Upon hearing the sound, Takanashi Touka instantly relaxed and opened the door.

Click!

"what!"

boom!

As soon as the door opened, Kato Megumi, who had been a few steps behind, rushed up.

He grabbed Takanashi Touka's arm, shoved her aside, and then fired a shot at the doorway.

The shot carried tremendous force and pierced right through the door.

"benefit?"

"It's alright. Lingyin has the protection provided by the director. If it really is Lingyin, there won't be any problems. The only concern is some kind of mimicry monster, and..."

The door slowly opened, and the three of them could see the figures outside.

“When Lingyin contacts us, she usually notifies us via her mobile phone first, right? We’ve been exposed, Toka.”

It wasn't Murasame Reine outside the door, but a strange creature that had been shot through the chest and was carried to the wall of the corridor by the impact.

The exact appearance of this creature cannot be described.

"Exposed? How could this be..."

"Shihua, and Liuhua, are you moving? My house is quite big."

After some time, the two sisters packed their important belongings and left home with Kato Megumi.

"Wait a minute, Hui, what do we do about this?"

Takanashi Touka points to the monster on the ground and asks Kato Megumi for details.

Kato Megumi didn't stop walking for a moment, speaking without turning her head.

"Don't worry about it. Anyway, we're no longer hiding the supernatural events, so it's... irrelevant now."

Didi didi...

"Lingyin sent a message, let's go to headquarters first."

...

"Huh? You're leaving already? I wanted you to stay one more night."

"I had plans to have dinner with someone tonight, so I'm using this to apologize. Maybe next time."

"Yeah, I got it, let's go."

Marisa waved her hand dismissively, saying something that didn't seem to bother her.

"Just go! I'll watch you leave."

"Then I'll be going?"

"Ah."

Marisa hummed in agreement, and Najihiro immediately vanished from his spot, seemingly having already returned.

"..."

Marisa stared at the spot where the person had disappeared for a while, then fell silent.

"Phew! What is it... It's nothing! Go back and lie down! I'm so tired today... I really did it without thinking, did I really do it right...? Hmm?"

Sizzling...

As they were talking, a pair of hands suddenly grabbed Marisa from behind. At the same time, purple lightning crackled from Marisa's body, but it had no effect.

"What, are you regretting your impulsive act, Marisa?"

"...Didn't you leave?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Marisa Kirisame's heart, which had just been in her throat, calmed down, and she slowly turned around.

Looking at Najiyo behind her, she hugged him tightly.

"Haha! You look obviously disappointed, how can I just leave like this?"

"I just teleported behind you and kept watching. I heard what you said, okay?"

After speaking, Marisa remained silent, burying her head in her chest.

Najihiro didn't say anything; he knew exactly what Marisa was thinking.

Yes, that's thanks to the ability I copied Komeiji Satoru from the banquet earlier.

Marisa's mind is currently filled with embarrassing thoughts...

Hmm, the idea is that it won't pass censorship.

After a while, they did some head-banging activities.

"Shasha, want to come along?"

"Ugh!!! That's disgusting... Please don't yell like that, really."

"Alright, then, shall we go together, Marisa?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Marisa pushed him away.

"Go away! Hurry up and leave! If I stay with you any longer, I'll start thinking about... you know... go by yourself!"

After saying that, Marisa turned around and ran straight to her room.

That's right, it's about escaping.

Na Zhiyang looked at the door that had been slammed shut, shook his head and chuckled, then disappeared from the spot.

This time, it's for real.

About a minute after she left, Marisa's room door opened a crack.

Immediately afterwards, a small head with long, flowing golden hair peeked out.

The little head looked left and right, as if trying to make sure the person had left.

[Buzz~]

A vibration came from the chat group in her mind, and Marisa Kirisame immediately opened it.

[(Group admin) Na Zhiyang: Stop looking, he's really gone this time, @KirisameMarisa.]

[(Gensokyo) Marisa Kirisame: Didn't you leave? How did you know I was watching?]

[Group admin Na Zhiyang: Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?]

【(Gensokyo) Marisa Kirisame: ...】

[(Gensokyo) Marisa Kirisame: Tch! She's quite the smooth talker.]

Despite saying that in the chat group, Marisa Kirisame's face was actually bright red.

After closing the chat panel, he jumped onto the bed and buried his head in the pillow.

“Aaaaaaaah!!!”

...

"puff!"

Somewhere outside Liyue Harbor, this is where Najiyo left before.

"Marisa's face must be bright red right now, hahaha!"

Looking at the darkening sky, Najiyo raised his hand, intending to make a slit, but then suddenly stopped.

With a smirk, he vanished without warning, reappearing at the entrance of Wanmintang.

"7:02... two minutes late, huh? Yanfei's already here? Is she really that punctual?"
