Makoto Kiyono doesn't keep his affix observation ability active all the time. First, it consumes mental energy, and he can't afford to keep it active for too long. Second, the items in the real world are very ordinary, and the affixes are equally unremarkable, making it very difficult to find anything worthwhile.

Silently sorting through his thoughts, Kiyono Makoto got dressed and left the room.

While brushing my teeth and washing my face, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't read today's daily news.

"Read the intelligence."

As Kiyono Makoto silently recited the words, a golden exclamation mark quietly exploded, transforming into several lines of text.

[Today's Info: Severe convective weather is expected to strike again today; please be aware of your safety when traveling.]

[Today's News Item 2: Sayuri Sawamura will encounter danger tonight]

[Today's News Item 3: Nishimiya Shoko wants to buy a swimsuit to prepare for her upcoming Golden Week trip, but she's too nervous and shy, and hopes you can accompany her.]

Kiyono Makoto's gaze fell on the second piece of intelligence, and he frowned slightly.

"Sawamura Sayuri... if I remember correctly, she's Eriri's mother, right?"

On the morning of the successful evacuation from Silent Hill, Eriri had a video call with Sayuri and caught a glimpse of her—a stunningly beautiful woman with dark hair.

Will we encounter danger tonight?

"What's the specific time?"

"And what is the source of the danger?"

The intelligence was too general, and specific details were unknown.

Seino Makoto turned on the tap and rinsed his mouth:

"Let's go to school first... We have to tell Eriri about this no matter what."

"..."

I've finished washing up.

After a quick breakfast, Makoto Kiyono grabbed his schoolbag, slipped in a folding umbrella just in case, and headed out to school.

Speechless all the way.

Upon arriving at the school, the campus was as bustling as ever.

The May Day Golden Week is just around the corner, and everyone is looking forward to the long holiday, which will be even more lively and bustling than usual.

"Good morning, Kiyono-kun."

A girl's gentle and pleasant voice rang in my ears, like white clouds drifting across the sky, leaving no trace after the wind has passed.

"Good morning."

Kiyono Makoto looked up at the bob-haired girl beside him.

After changing back into her ordinary school uniform, Kato Megumi's presence became extremely faint again, and she became invisible in the class once more, with no one paying any attention to her.

"Oh right, I remember there was homework assigned over the weekend?"

Makoto Kiyono clasped his hands together in prayer:

"I was playing games all night and forgot to write this. Please let me take a look, Kato-sama."

"Hey... it's better to do your homework yourself."

Kato Megumi responded while handing over her workbook.

"I am extremely grateful."

"..."

The three morning classes passed quickly. During the break of the third class, Kiyono Makoto took out his phone and sent a message to Eriri.

"Eri, come to the rooftop at noon."

Kiyono Makoto had been wanting to talk about the daily news, but unfortunately, Takumi always wore the mask of a perfect young lady at school, surrounded by friends, and couldn't find an opportunity to be alone with him.

The message was quickly marked as read.

Eriri, who was chatting with her friend, turned her head and gave Kiyono Makoto a questioning look:

"You idiot, Seino, what do you want me to do on the rooftop?"

Makoto Kiyono: "I have something very important to tell you."

Yinglili: "..."

Something very important?

whats the matter?

Could it be that idiot Kiyono wants to confess his feelings to me?

At this thought, a faint blush crept onto Eriri's face. Just as she was thinking about how to politely refuse, another message popped up on her phone:

"Eri, you don't want anything to happen to Mom, do you?"

Chapter 86 Eriri: Come home with me tonight.

"...You don't want anything to happen to Mom, do you?"

Upon seeing the message pop up on her phone, Eriri opened her eyes wide in confusion, her beautiful sapphire-like eyes filled with bewilderment.

Meow meow meow?

What is that idiot Seino saying?

Using your mother to threaten yourself?

and many more!

While that idiot Kiyono is shameless and vulgar, he hasn't gone this far yet. Could it be...?

Eriri's face paled slightly, and she quickly bit her lower lip. Her sixth sense, a trait that had been subtly activated, allowed her to guess the truth:

"Does this mean Mom is in danger?"

"Eri-chan, are you alright?"

A girl wearing glasses looked over with concern:

"Are you feeling unwell? Your face has suddenly turned very pale."

"I...I'm fine..."

Eriri took a deep breath and managed a weak smile.

"You didn't sleep well last night, don't worry."

"It's good that you're alright." Another girl invited, "Eri-chan, after school this afternoon, shall we go shopping together?"

Eriri parted her pink lips and shook her head in refusal:

"Sorry, the art club has a very important event to attend today... Let's go shopping another day."

Although she didn't know what had happened, Eriri had absolutely no interest in shopping right now.

"Why can't you just say it on your phone? Why do you have to wait until lunch break... It's infuriating."

The school bell rang soon after. While others were returning to their seats, Eriri quietly turned her head and glared fiercely at Kiyono Makoto.

"If it's just a prank, you're dead!"

"..."

A class passed by in a flash.

Upon hearing the lunch break bell ring, Eriri, who was feeling uneasy, quickly got up.

"Eri-chan, shall we eat bento together?"

Several close female friends came over and extended an invitation.

"Sorry, I have plans with someone today." Eriri politely declined, holding her lunchbox in both hands. "You guys can eat it yourselves."

"Huh?"

The girl wearing glasses' eyes lit up:

"Does Eriri Riko eat her bento with boys?"

“She’s not a boy.” Eriri turned her pretty face slightly away, her face still displaying an impeccable smile. “She’s just a girl, a junior of mine from before.”

"Alright then," the girl with glasses said disappointedly. "I thought it was a boy."

Yinglili: "..."

That's my reason for lying.

To be honest, given these friends' gossipy nature, they would definitely follow and eavesdrop!

"I'm leaving now, see you later."

Eriri got up to say goodbye and hurriedly left the classroom.

"call……"

Eriri exhaled softly, pursed her beautiful lips, and climbed the stairs to the rooftop.

Arriving hastily at the rooftop, Eriri looked around and found it completely empty, not a soul in sight. She immediately clenched her fists.

"Damn it, that idiot Kiyono stood me up?!"

Fortunately, not long after, I heard the sound of the door opening behind me.

Eriri subconsciously turned her head and saw Kiyono Makoto walking up with a yakisoba bread roll.

"You idiot, Seino, why are you only arriving now?"

Eriri quickly puffed out her pink cheeks.

"Since no one is preparing my lunch, I have to grab some fried noodles and bread. It's normal to be a little slow, right?" Kiyono Makoto said as he walked towards a bench at the edge of the rooftop. "Come sit down and let's talk."

Eriri caught up, eagerly asking:

"What did that message mean? Does it mean Mom is in danger?"

Kiyono Makoto turned his head to look over:
