However, as night fell, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
He looked up at the sky, and the moonlight, which should have been white, had turned pale purple.
High in the moonlit sky, countless strangely shaped demonic dreams hovered, seemingly restless or perhaps fleeing for their lives.
"Dingling~"
His phone beeped with an unfamiliar message, which he opened and read.
Good evening, Higashikata-kun. My name is Hiroomi Se.
"There's something I feel I need to tell you. The Otherworldly Warriors Association has discovered that a powerful youmu known as the Void Shadow will be passing through Tokyo soon."
If you notice anything unusual, please do not act rashly; simply ignore it.
'The Void Shadow Demon, as its name suggests, has no physical form.'
'It can possess otherworldly beings, then harm those around it, and create illusion-like places to trap them.'
After reading the message, Dongfang Chen smiled. He didn't think that the illusory shadow could pose a threat to him.
If it's the final boss from Beyond the Boundary, he probably doesn't have any specific countermeasures at the moment.
But that doesn't mean Thor and his companions have no way out.
However, since the suggestion was well-intentioned, he politely replied, "Thank you for reminding me, I will keep that in mind."
"Huh? How come there's a purple moon in this world?"
Thor said with some doubt.
"A Youmu the Void Shadow is passing through this city; this is one of its influences!"
Of course, this effect is invisible to ordinary people.
Because ordinary people simply cannot see the existence of Youmu.
"I see. But to cause such an impact, that guy must be quite capable."
Thor nodded indifferently; she didn't care about the ethereal figure.
In this other world, let alone a purple moon and moonlight, all sorts of colors, such as red, green, and blue, have appeared, so there's nothing strange about it.
"Thor, keep a close eye on things during this time, and make sure nothing gets into our house."
He offered a reminder.
"Yes, Chen, don't worry. If I can't even take good care of the house, wouldn't I be neglecting my duty as a maid?"
"Yes, the all-around Thor is the best."
"Hehe, it's not as amazing as Chen said."
Thor scratched his head and smiled shyly.
……
Monday, April 6th.
The morning sunlight felt warm and cozy on my skin.
Most of the time, sunny days are better.
However, on the way to school, all sorts of nightmares and evil spirits can be seen everywhere.
Normally, youmu are relatively rare, but now, influenced by the Void Shadow, these youmu have all come out.
Of course, as long as nothing goes wrong, he'll pretend he didn't see anything.
"Meow~meow~"
"Yoshi yoshi, it's okay, I'll be with you, don't be afraid~"
At a street corner, he suddenly heard the meows of kittens and a girl's voice.
Chapter 147 The choices are your own, the path is yours to walk.
He turned his head and saw a girl with long black hair wearing a junior high school police uniform.
She squatted beside a roadside flower bed, with a small cardboard box in front of her containing a kitten.
The girl gently stroked the kitten and comforted it in a tender tone.
"Don't be afraid, I will help you find a new home."
The kitten seemed to sense the girl's kindness, meowing softly and rubbing its head against her palm.
The girl carefully picked up the box, seemingly genuinely intending to help the little kitten.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Dongfang Chen watching her and the cat.
She didn't panic at all, but simply smiled and nodded in greeting: "Hello, senior, is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, I was just drawn in by your and the kitten's voices and was curious to see what was going on."
He shook his head slightly.
The girl nodded and continued, "I see. Does senior know who abandoned this kitten here?"
"I didn't know; I just arrived here myself."
"That's true. Sorry to bother you, senior, I'll be going now."
She kept smiling, apologized to him, and quickly left with the box containing the kitten.
Looking at the girl's back, Dongfang Chen shook his head slightly. Another girl with bad luck.
Familiar faces, an ordinary encounter.
Nothing unusual happened at school today; it was just an ordinary day.
After school in the afternoon.
Dongfang Chen and the five sisters arrived at the family restaurant to continue his tutoring.
However, after a weekend, apart from May, the other four did not seem to be in good condition.
So when he asked them if they had studied over the weekend, they all hesitated and stammered.
Ichika feigned composure: "Although I was very busy on the weekend, I tried my best to review."
Nino: "I, I'm usually in charge of feeding these guys."
Miku stared at her phone, remaining silent.
Yotsuba: "Um, a friend recommended a new game to me, so I had to reduce my study time a little so I could talk about the game with him."
Faced with her four older sisters' various behaviors, May slammed her fist on the table in dissatisfaction and stood up.
"Can't you guys be serious for once? You're the ones who said you wanted to attend tutoring classes and improve your grades, but how can you do this to Chen after all his hard work?"
Nino immediately shifted the blame: "It was Ichika who pulled us along."
Ichika: "Hey, I'm doing this for everyone's own good. Do you all want to go through the ordeal of being expelled from school again?"
Yotsuba tried to persuade her, "Well, we shouldn't be saying this now, right?"
Miku reminded her, "Ichika, not everything needs to be said in front of others."
May's face was rather unpleasant. She was very angry at her sisters' attitude and was about to say something when a hand blocked her in front of her.
"Gentlemen, may I say a few words?"
When Dongfang Chen spoke, everyone quieted down and turned their gazes to him.
"Whether you study or not is your freedom. Whether you do well or poorly on the test is none of my business."
"I only tutored you in response to May's request, and I have no objection to you joining in midway."
"However, from my perspective, I don't want my efforts to be in vain."
"Those who don't want tutoring can leave now. Don't waste everyone's time here."
He spoke in a calm tone, but no one made a move; they all just sat there with their heads down.
Learning is not for others, but for enriching oneself!
Whether it's knowledge gained in the classroom or work experience acquired in society, learning even a little bit can make you more composed when you encounter similar situations.
The four sisters all lowered their heads and remained silent, after all, they were in the wrong.
Seeing that they were all silent, Dongfang Chen patted May's shoulder next to him: "Sit down first, there are still forty minutes left, let's talk about it bit by bit."
May said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Chen..."
"fine."
He shook his head slightly, then continued, "The choice is yours to make, the path is yours to walk, and the outcome is yours to bear."
"Alright, if you still want to pay attention, then you'd better focus. Today's tutoring subject is history, and understanding the timeline and historical events is fundamental..."
Today's tutoring session began like this, with May and Miku being the most attentive. One was already hardworking, and the other loved historical warlords.
The other three were somewhat distracted, but that wasn't something he needed to worry about; after all, it wouldn't be him who got bad grades.
He has no responsibility or obligation to help each of them improve their grades; how much they learn depends entirely on themselves.
Several tens of minutes passed quickly, and everyone packed up their things to go home.
