Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

“However, reincarnation is really hard to say. The reincarnation rate in Heaven and Hell is quite low now, so you might still end up in Heaven or Hell,” Gabriel said.

"Furthermore, if Rikka's father has good aptitude, he might be able to stay in Hell or Heaven for the time being, and if given the chance in the future, he might become an angel or a demon," Winette continued.

"Well, there's one possibility: if he's favored by the gods, they might reincarnate him into another world. The gods these days are too idle; they often find humans with good potential and reincarnate them into various other worlds to develop their faith," Raphiel said with a smile.

"Eh, there's another world too?" Nissouya Morinaka asked Raphiel in surprise.

“Of course there are! There are many different otherworldly realms in this world, and even real magicians exist there. Aren’t you excited, Lord Mori?” Raphiel asked with a smile.

“…Where? Where?” This time, Nissouya Mori Natsumi didn’t angrily tell Raphiel not to call Mori-sama by that name. Instead, she said it with a bit of tsundere attitude.

Okay, Nissouya Morika was indeed excited. A real magician! Just thinking about it is exciting. An adventure in another world is every chuunibyou's dream.

Even though I'm no longer a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), I'm still excited about this kind of isekai (another world) adventure.

"Don't even think about it. The gods only look for humans after they've died, and the chances of being chosen are pitifully small. It's good if they find one among the souls that have been dead for decades."

"Even if you were to die now, there's a high chance you'd be judged by the Judgment Tower and left to work in Heaven or Hell while waiting for your reincarnation." Gabriel calmly extinguished all of Dansheng Valley Senxia's delusions.

Forget it, my life is more important. I'd rather not gamble my life on this one in a million chance.

"But you Heavenly Realm and Hell really know how to use labor, you even exploit people after they die," Tsuchimikado Fuyu complained.

“The Heavenly Realm and Hell aren’t charities; they’re already being kind by taking them in. Besides, while they’re there, they still need a place to stay, food, and entertainment. All of that costs money, right? Where does money come from if they don’t work? It’s the same principle as in the human world,” Gabriel said.

"Huh? Souls need to eat?" everyone asked curiously. Hearing Gabriel's words, no one dared to die easily. After all, whether in the human realm or the celestial realm, they needed to work, so it was better to stay in the human realm.

“Yes, but they don’t eat food; they eat another kind of substance, something that the soul needs. And their work is also different from that in the human world, but I won’t go into the details,” Winette said.

"Don't forget, it's also possible that Rikka's father didn't ascend to heaven, but instead became a bound spirit or a ghost," Xiaoyi suddenly said.

"With so many possibilities, how do we find the right one?" Sanae Dekomori asked.

She had heard too many fantastical things today, and she became increasingly excited. This kind of thing was like a guiding light for those with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), at least it made them more convinced that they must have the power of their own imagination.

Of course, before trying to find a way to unleash her power, Sanae Dekomori was still concerned about Rikka Takanashi. She never expected that Aster had such a past. She vowed to always follow Aster and never let her be alone.

Chapter 335 Choosing from the Heart

"Let's take it one step at a time. Putting everything else aside, let's rule out the possibility of reincarnation first. As for whether it will become a bound spirit, Xiaoyi and I will go to the place where Liuhua and the others used to live tonight."

"As for ghosts, we haven't seen any here or around Rikka and the others, so we can rule them out for now," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said.

“If we rule out the possibility that they didn’t ascend to heaven, then all that’s left is to go to the Tower of Judgment and ask,” Raphiel continued. “But… how do we get there?”

“Yes, that’s not a place you can just walk into.” Winette sighed as well.

“If someone is willing to take the blame, we could sneak in,” Gabriel suggested.

"Gabriel, why are you looking at me like that?" Satania looked at Gabriel with a blank expression, then suddenly became shocked and said angrily, "You're not trying to make me take the blame, are you? Do you know that sneaking into the Judgment Tower will be punished?"

"Sigh! You've all seen it, haven't you? Even Satania is extremely wary of this place..." Gabriel shrugged helplessly.

“Of course, even if I were to sneak into the Celestial Realm, I wouldn’t want to sneak into that place,” Satania said unhappily.

"Hey, don't think you can just walk into the Heavenly Realm like that," Vinette said helplessly. If she got caught, the punishment would be no less severe than sneaking into the Judgment Tower!

"..."

"What are you all talking about? Let's eat first." Just as everyone was discussing how to proceed, Takanashi Touka came out with a plate of cooked food and said.

"Alright, let's talk after we finish eating." Xiaoyi walked over with a smile and said, "Today we can finally taste Shihua's cooking."

"Because I'm always so busy, Rikka, I've troubled you a lot." Takanashi Touka nodded and said, "I'm starting."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. I really like Little Six Flowers." Xiaoyi said with a smile.

Takanashi Touka was always curious about how Koi came to be, but she didn't ask her too many questions.

Because they looked to be around the same age and got along well, and because Takanashi Touka usually ate dinner at Tsuchimikado Fuyu's house when she worked overtime in the evenings, Takanashi Touka was very grateful to Koi, so they would chat for a few minutes every time they met, and gradually they became familiar with each other.

Xiaoyi originally wanted to help cook dinner, since there were quite a few people coming and it might be a bit busy for one person. However, Takanashi Touka said that Xiaoyi was a guest today, so there was no reason for a guest to help with cooking.

Moreover, she was quite confident in her cooking skills and speed; it was only a dozen or so people, she could handle it with ease.

That makes sense. It's only been about an hour since we got back, and Takanashi Touka has already prepared a very rich meal. Seeing all sorts of dishes on the table, everyone's appetite was whetted.

"Wow, amazing! Did Miss Toka make all of this?" Nissougu Senxia asked in surprise after sitting down.

"After all, this is my profession," Takanashi Touka said calmly.

"By the way, speaking of which, Takanashi's bento boxes are always so luxurious," Isshiki Makoto said.

"Yeah, it's become a topic of conversation in class! Even after Rikka ate lunch with us in the club, people would still bring it up occasionally."

Nibutani Morinaka also said, "But I never expected that Toka-san would work in such a high-class restaurant. I really envy Rikka."

This wasn't just Nibutani Morika's deliberate praise; she genuinely envied Rikka. Rikka's bento was always the most luxurious, while everyone else either had a regular bento or a lunch bought from a store.

Gabriel and the others didn't care, because they had basically never brought their own lunchboxes and didn't know how to cook. Although Tsuchimikado Tou had someone cook for him, he wasn't used to eating lunchboxes and would only eat at the cafeteria once when he didn't want to go to the store to buy food.

On May 7th, Fennel wouldn't envy others for such things, leaving only Nibutani Morika, who had to make her own bento boxes.

She also really wanted a chef sister to prepare deluxe bento boxes for her, since preparing bento boxes is such a hassle.

"Really?" Takanashi Touka blushed slightly upon hearing such undisguised praise, a rare occurrence for her. She said shyly.

Seeing Takanashi Touka's reaction, Koi smiled knowingly. Although Touka usually seemed quite calm and mature, she never expected that she would get shy because of someone's praise.

"Let's eat quickly," Isshiki Makoto said impatiently. "I'm starting."

"I'm starting," the others chimed in.

Only Sanae Tokomori looked at the vegetable salad in front of her with a conflicted expression. She slowly picked it up, smelled it carefully, and then asked with a pained look, "Does this have cheese in it?"

"Doesn't Komori even like cheese?" Mayday Fennel asked curiously.

"Who would want to eat that stuff that smells like a dirty rag?!" Sanae Dekomori said with a look of disgust. "It's just rotten milk. It's awful."

"Eat it." Just as Sanae Dekomori was ranting and raving, she heard two voices from the side.

Sanae Tokomori looked up in confusion; both voices sounded so familiar!

Takanashi Touka and Koi looked at Dekomori Sanae with serious expressions and said again, "Eat it."

“Oni…Onibe!” Sanae Tokomaru looked down at Touka Takanashi from above and broke out in a cold sweat, stammering.

Everyone looked at the two of them with suspicion. Well, from Sanae Tokomori's angle, Toka-nee really does have a great chest!

"Eat it," Takanashi Touka emphasized again.

"Little Mori, have you forgotten what I told you again? You can't waste food." Koi said with a smile, "Being a picky eater isn't a good child."

“Yes…” Sanae was startled by the two of them and decisively chose to follow her heart. She picked up the salad in her hands and began to gulp it down.

"That's amazing, Kogoro!" May 7th Fennel encouraged.

"As expected of the Holy Healer whom even Aster fears, the power of her gaze is truly extraordinary," Sanae Dekomori exclaimed.

As for Koi... Sanae Dekomori said that the two are about the same, and she can't afford to offend either of them.

However, having just finished reprimanding Sanae Dekomori, Satani started acting recklessly again, "Ha, why isn't there a pineapple bun in here? What kind of dinner is it without a pineapple bun?"

“Satania, you can’t be rude. Besides, most people don’t eat pineapple buns for dinner,” Vinette said helplessly, pulling Satania’s hand.

"I don't care. Since they chose to entertain me, how could they leave out pineapple buns? I don't accept this dinner," Satania said, putting down her chopsticks in displeasure.

“Satania…” Vinette was also annoyed. If it were just the members of the club here, it wouldn’t matter, since they are all friends and wouldn’t care about these things.

But they're guests at someone's home. Even if the food isn't good, you can just not eat it. You can't say you don't want to accept it!

Not to mention that Toka's cooking is super delicious, so why do you say you can't accept it?

Not only will it offend people, but it will also seem very impolite.

“Venet, what did you do…” Satania was about to say Vinette when she saw that Vinette’s face had darkened and her whole body was emanating black energy.

"Satania, be polite," Vinette said with a sly smile, her expression turning dark.

"Yes..." Seeing Vinette like this, Satania immediately shuddered. Like Sanae Dekomori, she decisively chose to follow her heart. Vinette in this state was not to be trifled with, or she would get beaten up.

“That’s what a good child does. Okay, let’s eat.” Seeing everyone’s surprised expressions, Winette didn’t seem to care. Instead, she clapped her hands with a smile and said.

Chapter 336 I thought of something funny

After dinner, Sanae Tokomori was dragged over by Morika Nibutani to wash the dishes, and the others also helped.

While clearing away the dishes, everyone noticed that Nibutani Morika had "Fake Master" printed on her back, while Dekomori Sanae had "Idiot Morika" printed on hers. It was obvious that the two of them had done it when the other wasn't looking, otherwise they wouldn't have been chatting so happily.

Only Tsuchimikado Winter, Winette and Hanazono Yuri Rin carried dinner upstairs to Takanashi Rikka.

Of course, delivering food was one thing, but another was wanting to have a good talk with Rikka Takanashi and help her find the invisible boundary line, or more accurately, find the soul of her father.

After all, everyone knows why Rikka Takanashi is a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), the conflict between her and her family is clear, and the invisible boundary line has been found. Now, all we need to do is find the soul of Rikka Takanashi's father and let them have a good talk, and these problems should be resolved.

Even if they can't find it, at least it will allow Rikka Takanashi to accept the fact sooner. Although it will be very sad for Rikka Takanashi, a short pain is worse than a long one, which should be much better than being immersed in her own world.

Of course, these are all just suggestions; they can only offer advice. Whether or not to accept them is up to Rikka Takanashi herself.

After all... they weren't Rikka Takanashi, they couldn't understand her true thoughts, and they couldn't make decisions for her that might not end well.

However, as friends, since they have the ability to help Rikka Takanashi, they naturally cannot turn a blind eye to Rikka Takanashi's sadness.

Even if Rikka Takanashi is even more upset later, all they can do is stay by her side and comfort her.

"Ugh! What a dilemma." Tsuchimikado Fuyu sighed as he arrived at the entrance of Takanashi Rikka.

“But we can’t just ignore it completely,” Winette said helplessly.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate!" said Hanazono Yuri, then took the plate from Tsuchimikado Fuyu's hand, gesturing for him to knock on the door.

Although everyone is Rikka Takanashi's friend, it's clear from the fact that Rikka Takanashi called Tsuchimikado Tou out separately in the afternoon that Tsuchimikado Tou is more important to Rikka Takanashi, so it's more appropriate for Tsuchimikado Tou to go instead.

Boom boom boom!

"Rikka, are you there?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu knocked on the door and asked.

Soon, the three heard footsteps coming from inside the house. The sound grew closer and closer, then stopped at a certain moment. From inside came Rikka Takanashi's voice, "What's the code?"

"?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked at the two of them with a blank expression, then helplessly shrugged, indicating that he had no idea what the code was.

Garden Lily and Winette shook their heads. "If you don't know, how would we know?"

"Is the Evil King's True Eye the strongest?" Tsuchimikado Fuyutsu tried to say.

Rikka Takanashi didn't answer immediately. Instead, she remained silent for a while before saying, "Wrong."

"? Was I wrong?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu was even more confused. Was this sentence wrong? Wasn't this something you always said?
