"What are you doing here?" Jiang Jing asked, looking at them curiously.

"Oh, Senior Akeno is still packing up her things for the club activity earlier. Kitten is waiting for her, so I'll keep her company for a bit," Kiba Yuuto said with a very gentlemanly smile.

"You guys have another club activity today? Aren't you tired?" Jiang Jing asked casually.

"It was alright. Today's club activities weren't too difficult, and Kitten and I finished them. Senior mainly helped us out." Kiba Yuuto was very cooperative.

"Keep it simple, we'll be going now." With a wave, Jiang Jing and Shiina Mashiro walked out of the school gate.

As the sun set, the two walked side by side. Jiang Jing slung his backpack over his shoulder with one hand and occasionally lowered his head to talk softly to the girl beside him. This scene was seen by the two people behind him when the kitten suddenly spoke.

"Sure enough, it's not that the minister and senior students aren't good enough, it's just that they arrived late." A hint of regret for the two was on her cute little face.

Kiba Yuto smiled slightly on his handsome face: "It's normal that a man as outstanding as Kanda-senpai is liked by many people, even the club president and Akeno-senpai are captivated by him."

……

"Oh my, the cake you brought today was so delicious, and the tea was great too. I'm already full."

In the Light Music Club's activity room, Hirasawa Yuichi, a cute girl with short brown hair, lay happily on the table, her slightly round face making one want to pinch it.

Kotobuki Tsumugi, delighted by the compliment, squinted her eyes and said, "Really, Yui? Then I'll bring more tomorrow. What flavor do you want to eat tomorrow?"

“I want apple flavor,” Ritsu Tainaka across from her quickly raised her hand.

"I want strawberry flavor," Hirasawa Yui chimed in, not wanting to be outdone.

"It's a promise, Yui. You're not allowed to take mine tomorrow. If you do, I'll stuff your mouth with cake," Ritsu Tainaka warned.

Hirasawa Yuichi was stunned: "Huh? Did I steal it? You didn't choose the banana flavor yourself today."

"Alright, you two, didn't we agree to rehearse today? All you do is eat." Akiyama Mio looked at the two of them angrily.

"Oh dear, it's so late today, let's rehearse tomorrow, Mio." Hirasawa Yui, who was lying on the table, raised her hand and shook it, squinting her eyes and lazily not wanting to move.

Ritsu Tainaka, who was also slumped over the table, lazily turned his head, looked outside, and said weakly, "It seems so, the school is going to close soon too."

"Mio, let's rehearse again tomorrow. Let's sit for a while and digest our feelings before we go back."

"Tomorrow? Tomorrow again? We've been a club for almost two months and haven't had a single rehearsal. Do you even remember what kind of club we are?" Akiyama Mio said coldly, looking at Tainaka Ritsu with great anger.

"By the way, Mio, what flavor do you want to eat tomorrow?" Just then, the young lady Kotobuki Tsumugi clasped her hands together, turned around and asked expectantly.

"I..." Akiyama Mio hesitated for a moment: "Does it have a peach flavor?"

"Yes, there is." Kotobuki Tsumugi nodded happily.

Kotobuki Tsumugi is very happy to bring snacks and drink tea with friends every day in the lively activity room.

"Oh, right everyone, I have some good news to tell you," Kotobuki Tsumugi suddenly said mysteriously.

"What good news?" Hirasawa Yui across from her was immediately drawn to the news.

Kotobuki Tsumugi didn't keep you in suspense and said with a smile, "Haven't you always wanted the author's autograph for that novel? I have a way to get it for you."

"Really??" Ritsu Tainaka suddenly sat up straight, her eyes shining as she looked at Tsumugi Kotobuki.

With the upcoming release of the third volume of Toradora!, making it three volumes in one month, the immense popularity of the first two volumes has been reignited. The author's continued absence and lack of any personal information have only fueled the curiosity of fans.

Now, not only are there posts online offering a million yen reward for Kotobuki Tsumugi's address, but his first personal signature is also being copied, with one fan offering 100,000 yen to collect it.

So what is a signature? In Ritsu Tainaka's eyes, it's just a shiny banknote.

"Wow, do you have any ideas? He promised to send us signed works, but he still hasn't mailed them. This artist is terrible." Hirasawa Yui said angrily.

"Yui, I've told them so many times, but they haven't agreed to give us any autographed artwork." Akiyama Mio was a little tired.

"Huh? He didn't agree?" Hirasawa was stunned.

"That's not important. What are you planning to do to get our autographs?" Ritsu Tainaka looked at Tsumugi Kotobuki with shining eyes.

Kotobuki Tsumugi smiled and said, "I received news that Dengeki Bunko Publishing will be holding a celebration party at the Amagami Grand Hotel on June 3rd, and many famous writers and manga artists will be in attendance."

"And the author of 'Toradora!', Kami Ten, who is about to break industry records this month, will definitely be formally invited to the event. So if we go there that day, we can not only get his autograph, but also see what he looks like."

"real"

"Wow, I want to go!" Ritsu Tainaka and Yui Hirasawa's eyes lit up instantly, and they became very excited.

"You two, stop causing trouble. Do you think ordinary people can get into those kinds of banquets?"

Akiyama Mio bluntly retorted, "We might be stopped by security before we even reach the door."

"That seems to be true." The duo, who had been excited just moments before, immediately deflated.

“No problem, Ritsu. My family has some business dealings with the publishing house, so I can have the butler get a few invitations,” Kotobuki Tsumugi assured her.

"Wow...?? You're so kind."

"Hey... by the way, Mio, do you want to go?"

"I want……"

……

Night, Sakura-sou. After taking a bath, Jiang Jing, Shiina Mashiro, and Kamiigusa Misaki, wearing pajamas, sit in a row on the wooden walkway with chilled watermelon next to them.

Enjoy the cool evening while relaxing.

"Junior, I wish I could be this happy every day." With that, Misaki Kamiigusa stretched out her arms, leaned back, and dangled her legs in mid-air.

"If you have fewer desires, isn't it easy to be happy?" Jiang Jing said nonchalantly as he wiped watermelon seeds from Shiina Mashiro's mouth.

"But how can people not have desires and worries?" Today, Misaki Kamiigusa, who was acting somewhat unusually, sighed softly.

“Yes, there is one right in front of you.” As he spoke, Jiang Jing gently pinched Shiina Mashiro’s smooth cheek, to which Shiina Mashiro simply looked at him blankly.

She seemed to be asking Jiang Jing why he pinched her cheek.

“Ha...that’s true, Mashiro is one of them.” Misaki Kamiigusa smiled first, then turned to look at Mashiro Shiina with a hint of envy in her eyes.

Jiang Jing keenly noticed the reason for Misaki's change in mood today and casually asked, "What's wrong, senior? Are you missing Ren-senpai?"

"Benevolence……"

Misaki Kamiigusa's eyes darkened, then she nodded slightly, looking at the night sky: "I wonder how he is now. After he went to some training department, I haven't heard from him at all."

"It should be alright. No news means things are going well," Jiang Jing shrugged, somewhat uncertainly.

Because he genuinely didn't know.

He was somewhat surprised that Mitaka Ren had applied to enter the restricted area some time ago. With his limited strength, if it weren't for the new equipment developed by the human race, he would have been corrupted and turned into a monster once inside.

Even so, Jiang Jing didn't know what he could do, and he wasn't interested in whether he was alive or dead.

There's one more chapter, I'm revising it.

Chapter 136 The Hidden Sacrificial Ritual

At night, Kyoto, a city of millions, is ablaze with neon lights and dazzling lights. Countless people who feel bored with life come out at this time to seek excitement and indulge in a life of extravagance.

Similarly, countless filth and dangers lurk in the darkness.

"Ah...no, let me go..."

"Hehehe... Stop pretending, you dressed like this just to come out and have fun."

"Yeah, playing with others is the same as playing with us, it's all the same, come on."

"Hahaha...but it seems like we have a bit too many people."

In the dimly lit alley, a sexy and beautiful woman dressed in a very sexy manner was dragged into the depths of the alley by six thugs, crying out in vain.

A passerby heard a woman making muffled noises as her mouth was covered, but seeing the desolate night scene around him, the frightened passerby quickly ran away.

Bang! !

Deep in the alley, a woman was violently thrown against a wall, and six thugs surrounded her with lewd smiles.

But just then, the woman, who was clutching her clothes tightly and looked terrified, suddenly widened her eyes, pointed at them, and opened her mouth wide.

"Hehehe... Don't be afraid, we're just playing with you, we won't do anything to you."

"Yes, isn't this what you women like the most?"

Just as the thugs were chuckling, a black mass spread out on the ground behind them, like ink, as if a dimensional portal had opened, and tentacles covered in slime stretched out from the shadows.

"Varied……"

A tentacle, like a giant python, instantly coiled around a man, slamming him against the wall with astonishing force amidst his terror.

boom!

The entire building's walls shook, revealing spiderweb-like cracks in the hard walls. The person who was caught in the clump exploded like watermelon juice, limbs splattering everywhere, a bloody mess.

"Ah... monster!" Everyone who turned around screamed in terror.

Before the others could react, tentacles suddenly grew out of the darkness, instantly binding all the thugs and the woman, slamming them to the ground and walls amidst their desperate screams.

Bang! Bang! Boom!

Crimson blood flowed on the ground, and the entire alleyway reeked of a nauseating stench of blood. The mangled bodies of six thugs and a woman were torn apart, a scene straight out of hell.

Having done all this, the monster retracted its tentacles and prepared to leave.

"Leave it here."

A cold sound rang out, and streaks of blue ice radiating a chilling light shot out from the sky, transforming into a rain of ice that crashed down, startling the demon.

Boom boom boom boom!!!

Esdeath's blue hair danced wildly in the night wind as she slowly descended from the sky, her brow furrowing slightly as she looked down at the ice swords that covered the entire alley and a severed tentacle.

"Ran."

"Captain Esdeath, the monster's energy fluctuations have disappeared. The energy fluctuation intensity was at the peak of three stars, and the attribute detection indicated it was a shadow space type. It was that cunning shadow monster."

"This is the seventh incident in three days. Your strength attribute cannot counter it. The advisory group suggests that the seventh team captain, who is skilled in barrier sealing, handle it."

Esdeath heard the voice of the data clerk from the association's branch office.

"No need, I've already found a trace of this monster." With that, Esdeath soared into the sky, and the frozen tentacle below flew away with her.
