Kiyono Makoto naturally chose to believe the information provided, and decisively opened the Paradise Shop to buy a large quilt. Fortunately, the price was quite cheap, so he didn't feel bad about it.

"There are only two pieces of information, and they have nothing to do with Yuzuru..."

Kiyono Makoto was slightly disappointed.

"Oh right, there's also the title ability... I'll verify it later."

A moment later.

The three of them changed their clothes and then met in the living room.

"Has anyone used the title ability before?" Kiyono Makoto took out his camera and got straight to the point. "It can take three photos. We can try it out. Maybe we'll get some special information."

Nishimiya Shoko's eyes lit up upon hearing this:

"I haven't tried it yet, Kiyono-kun, please take a picture of me."

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly and raised his camera.

Click.

Three photos were quickly produced.

The first photo is of a dilapidated and dimly lit alley, with gray and white colors, like an old photo from the last century. On a broken telephone pole, there is a blurry missing person notice.

The second photo was even stranger; it was completely black.

The third photo shows a short-haired girl in pajamas, hugging her knees, hiding alone in a secluded amusement park. Although her face is not clearly visible, Makoto Kiyono recognized her at a glance.

"...It's Yuzuru!"

Nishimiya Shoko couldn't help but gasp softly.

Yukino Yukinoshita squinted her eyes:

"The scene in the photo is strange and doesn't look real... Now we can confirm that Shoko's sister didn't run away from home, but was involved in a supernatural event."

After a pause, Yukino Yukinoshita thought of another possibility:

"Could it be a beginner's trial dungeon?"

"Huh?"

Nishimiya Shoko opened her eyes wide in panic and hurriedly looked at Kiyono Makoto.

"I'll give it a try."

Kiyono Makoto took out the dungeon descent card, imagined Yuzuru's appearance in his mind, and silently recited the other's real name, but unfortunately nothing happened.

“There was no reaction.” Kiyono Makoto quickly shook his head and said, “Yuzuru should not have been chosen by Paradise.”

"That's the evil player..."

Yukino Yukinoshita reached out and took the camera:

"I'll take the picture."

However, after the camera was pointed at the glass, Yukino Yukinoshita quickly furrowed her brows slightly:

"The camera isn't working; it seems to be broken."

"Let me see."

Kiyono Makoto took the camera, aimed it at Yukino, and pressed the shutter.

Click.

Three photos were quickly produced.

"It seems the camera isn't broken, but it can only take a maximum of three photos of one target..."

Chapter 168 Oh no! Yukino has been kidnapped by an evil spirit!

"The camera isn't broken; it's probably a limitation of the title's ability..."

As Kiyono Makoto spoke, he picked up the three photos that had been spat out.

The first two photos were quite ordinary and unremarkable, but when his gaze fell on the third photo, Kiyono's expression suddenly became subtle.

"Kiyono-kun, what's wrong?"

Nishimiya Shoko asked with concern.

"nothing……"

Kiyono Makoto responded calmly and prepared to put the photos away.

Just as he made a move, a slender hand reached out from the side and snatched the photo away.

It was Yukino Yukinoshita.

Look down.

Upon seeing the scene in the photo clearly, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly stopped breathing.

"Eh?"

Nishimiya Shoko sat next to Yukino and also saw the contents of the photo clearly, and couldn't help but gasp softly.

The photo is a close-up shot, showing only faces, a man and a woman kissing.

The boy is Makoto Kiyono.

And the girl... was none other than Yukino Yukinoshita.

"stare--"

Yukino Yukinoshita silently raised her head, her pretty face expressionless, her sharp eyes looking over.

"I'm not, it's not me."

Kiyono Makoto promptly raised his hands to defend himself:

"At most, I would unconsciously touch my head, but I would never do anything so outrageous, Your Honor, I am innocent!"

“Kiyono-san isn’t that kind of person…” Nishimiya Shoko’s voice was gentle. She wasn’t angry about the photo. Instead, she whispered to herself, “It must be a misunderstanding.”

"call……"

Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her finger to her brow and sighed helplessly.

"I have a general understanding of Kiyono's courage."

Seino Makoto retorted:

"It's not like I'm a coward."

"Ok?"

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at him, her icy gaze almost freezing one to death.

"...I'm sorry, Yukino-sama, please continue."

Kiyono Makoto sat up straight.

“The person in the photo is very likely not me.” Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms, her gaze shifting to Nishimiya Shoko, her expression slightly complicated. “Don’t forget, the side effects of the Destiny Earring haven’t worn off yet. The person in the photo… could very well be Shoko-kun.”

The photograph only shows a person, not a soul; it's more likely that it's glass.

"Huh?"

Nishimiya Shoko blinked, her pretty face quickly turning red.

I was just watching the drama unfold, how did it suddenly turn into me eating my own food?

"Sorry……"

Shoko apologized quietly, also feeling that it was very likely her.

Although I promised not to do anything reckless... it's normal for accidents to happen.

Yukino Yukinoshita exhaled softly:

"I understand Shoko's feelings, but please be sure to restrain yourself until your body is switched back."

"I'm so sorry..."

Nishimiya Shoko blushed, stammered, and looked down at her toes guiltily.

"..."

Kiyono Makoto whispered from the side:

"This is just something that might happen in the future, not something that will definitely happen... As long as we prepare in advance, we can completely rewrite the future."

After finishing speaking, Kiyono Makoto simply said:

"Yukino-san, please take a picture of me."

"……it is good."

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded slightly in agreement, and then casually stuffed the photo of the kiss into her backpack.

If the future depicted in the photo becomes a reality, then it's most likely Shoko's fault... In that case, we shouldn't blame others.

But such terrible photos must be retrieved and destroyed.

Click.

After pressing the shutter, three photos were quickly taken.

Unfortunately, the photos were all quite ordinary, and no valuable information was obtained, which was disappointing.

“Let’s go, let’s go to Shoko’s house first.” Kiyono Makoto stood up. “Since Yuzuru didn’t run away from home, he most likely disappeared in his room and must have left clues.”

"..."

The three of them left home together and headed to the tram station.

On the way, Kiyono Makoto sent a message to his senior, but unfortunately she was probably up all night studying, as the message remained unread and she was clearly still asleep.

After half an hour.

The three arrived at the door of Shoko's house.

"...Yukino-san, please."
