"Oh? So Kotegawa didn't notice all this time? Where have you been looking the whole time!" The girl pouted and huffed.
Since their relationship progressed further, her feelings have become increasingly complex.
Kami Kotekawa snapped out of her reverie and subconsciously said, "Because the clear sky has always been beautiful. It's just that I couldn't see it before, and now I can't get enough of it no matter how much I look at it, so I'm simply immersed in it and don't have time to think about anything else."
These flirtatious and cheesy words were spoken when no one was on guard.
Mikazuki's heart trembled slightly, unable to bear it any longer. Her cheeks flushed, and she let out a soft "hmm" like a mosquito buzzing. She quickly left the bathroom, ran back to her room, leaned against the door, squatted down, and covered her cheeks tightly with her hands, her eyes secretly curving into crescent moons with laughter.
Kotekawa Kami went back to his room to change his clothes, then took the clean and spun clothes out of the laundry tub and hung them on the balcony before taking his sword to the courtyard for his morning prayers.
Before doing his morning prayers, he calmed his mind, looked at the five orbs of light on the sea of his mind, and "shattered" them directly.
Merit: Thirty-five
Talent: Berserk
The four experience orbs only increased his power by two points. This single talent was obtained after he killed the half-human, half-ape monster.
Judging from the name, it seems to increase power, but it's currently unknown whether there will be any side effects.
He didn't dwell on it for too long, but instead put down his longsword, gathered his energy, and began practicing the Xuanwu Fist.
A series of crisp cracking sounds echoed in the courtyard. The Xuanwu Fist combined fierce and gentle power, two completely different forces yet perfectly rounded, embodying the great wisdom of the ancestor.
His current skill in boxing has surpassed that of his senior sister and brother from his previous life. If it were in the past, he might have been able to go down the mountain and teach in place of his master.
But in this world, it is far from strong enough.
The window on the second floor next door was pushed open, and Kotori Hana peeked out, rubbing her eyes with one hand, probably having stayed up all night again.
"Good morning"
Chapter 152 The Real Disaster Has Arrived
"Around 9 PM last night, a horrific murder occurred in the North District. According to information disclosed by the Special Branch Headquarters, the thugs from the Evil Spirit Society are responsible for this incident..."
In Furano, Hokkaido, inside a stone cave lit by torches, five or six hooded men in black robes are gathered around a radio, quietly listening to the morning news.
The hooded man at the head of the table cut a piece of meat, still stained with blood, with his knife and fork, put it in his mouth, chewed slowly, and said casually, "Made by Inukai? At least it didn't interfere with business."
The others nodded silently, and the atmosphere remained as relaxed and easy as ever.
By this time, the radio news broadcast had reached its end.
Disaster dropped its knives and forks, preparing to have the radio turned off.
But then, the radio played music for an emergency news broadcast.
The disaster slowly subsided again.
"Smimasai, now for an breaking news report: The Special Division has just released a news report that the members of the Evil Spirit Society who caused the horrific incident in the North District last night were eliminated by Special Division Commissioner Ishikawa in the early hours of the morning! Wow, Commissioner Ishikawa truly lives up to his reputation as the nemesis of the Evil Spirit Society..." The radio host's voice was filled with excitement.
The disaster turned the newly bought radio into scrap metal.
The atmosphere inside the cave froze instantly.
He asked slowly, "Is there any news about the Nightmare Woman?"
"Not yet..."
"Those idiots!"
Beneath the hood, a pair of scarlet eyes gleamed with fury: "Ishikawa Yasuhiro!!! I'll personally confront you!"
……
"Ishikawa-san really doesn't learn his lesson..." Kotekawa Kami, who had just finished watching the news on TV, shook his head slightly and turned off the TV.
Mikazuki Haruka walked out of the bedroom carrying her schoolbag. Looking at the turned-off TV, she asked in confusion, "What happened this time?"
“A family was murdered in the North District last night; it was done by an evil spirit,” Kotekawa Kami continued. “However, the murderer was killed a few hours later.”
Mikazuki Seishun silently nodded.
The two went out and walked together toward the entrance of the commercial street.
On the other side, the little bird, Hanako, who was waiting at her own door, waved her little hand.
Mikazuki slowed down a few steps, putting some distance between himself and Kotegawa Kami.
Recently, she discovered that because they had become close in some ways, they would often walk together on the street without realizing it, and she couldn't help but want to hold hands.
"Good morning!" Kotekawa Kami greeted him again, full of energy.
"Good morning..." Takanashi Hanamai tilted her head slightly, blinked, and seemed to be thinking about something.
The three of them traveled together, and when they reached the intersection of the commercial street, they found that only Youjia was waiting for them with her bag.
"Huh? Where's Glasses-kun?" Kotegawa Kami glanced towards the shopping street.
"He said something was up and rushed to school early this morning." Youjia handed him a bag of freshly cooked red bean daifuku, and said with some puzzlement, "This brat has been acting all mysterious these past few days."
The young man was smacking the packaging of the daifuku, and while he was eating, he shared some with Mikazuki and Takanashi Hanamai, mumbling between bites, "Didn't he say what it was about?"
"No!" Motoyo looked at him tentatively and asked, "Did he say anything to you?"
Mikazuki's eyes flickered as he recalled what Kotegawa had said when he returned on Saturday night.
Kotegawa Kami hesitated.
Yuuka opened her backpack and took out a bag of daifuku, her voice laced with enticement: "These are fruit daifuku, strawberry and banana flavored..."
Kamiko Kotekawa said with a righteous expression, "You should ask him. I have to be loyal and can't tell you that he has a girlfriend!"
The three girls all looked up at the same time.
The air was quiet for a moment, with only the sound of Kotegawa Kamihi's daifuku pouch.
"The strawberry banana daifuku tastes pretty good! It has a fruity sweetness and a refreshing taste..." Kotekawa Kami savored the taste, handed the bag in his hand to Mikazuki, and ran towards the shopping street: "Wait a minute! I'm going to buy some daifuku!"
The three girls who remained in place looked at each other in bewilderment.
With a tone of deep disbelief, Youjia asked, "That bean sprout is dating a girl? Who is it? How come I didn't know?"
“I don’t know either…” Takanashi Hanamai rolled her eyes slightly: “Glasses-kun isn’t very loyal, he only told Kotegawa.”
"Maybe they're fellow members from the club?" Mikazuki Haruka guessed uncertainly.
"This kid's got potential!" Honjo Yuka paced back and forth twice, beaming. "I used to worry that he'd only be able to meet girls through blind dates when he grew up! Great, I didn't expect there would actually be girls who are blind to his looks!"
The two girls next to her also chuckled. Takanashi Hanamai shook her head: "Actually, Glasses-kun is pretty amazing, isn't he? He can already help Uncle Takama, his grades are good, he has a bright future... and he has a good temper too."
"What's the use of having a good temper! A good temper only gets you bullied!" Honjo Yuka snorted twice, glancing sideways, and said, "Besides, if you were to choose a boyfriend, would you choose Sorata?"
Takanashi Hanamai immediately gave an apologetic and rejecting look: "Although he's a nice guy, I'm sorry, it still won't work."
Yuka looked up at the clear sky above Mikazuki again.
The girl glanced back at him with her half-open eyes.
Youjia stopped asking, because she knew she would get a heartbreaking answer.
A few minutes later, Kotegawa Kami ran back, carrying a large bag and looking radiant.
Youjia looked down at them, somewhat puzzled: "Why did you buy so much?"
"Is it a lot? It's just a snack..." Kote Kawakami scratched his head: "Besides, with so many of us and so many mouths to feed, how can we not buy enough? You don't know, there's someone in our club, I won't say who, who can eat a lot, but his eating ability is terrible."
"It's definitely Shirakawa Nozomi..." The name flashed through the minds of the three girls at the same time.
"Ah!"
While walking along the street, Shirakawa Nozomi suddenly sneezed, and his handsome eyebrows immediately furrowed.
Shirakawa Kurumi jumped aside with a look of disgust: "Are you sick? Stay away from me, don't infect me! If you dare to delay my date with Kotegawa, I'll hang you up and whip you!"
Shirakawa Nozomi turned around, took a tissue to wipe her nose, and ignored the brat who had entered puberty.
……
Several cars from the Bunkyo Ward Special Division pulled into the parking lot, and a group of people got out and slunk away towards the building.
Ishikawa Yasuhiro, who was practicing his swordsmanship in the yard, stopped, walked over with his hands behind his back, and looked at Section Chief Ando, whose face was covered with handprints and swollen like a pig's head. He smiled and said, "Good morning, Section Chief Ando! Did you sleep well last night?"
Section Chief Ando's eyes twitched, but every time he tried to move his facial muscles, his face and head ached, and his ears started ringing. He glared at them fiercely, exasperated, and strode away.
Ishikawa Yasuhiro spat on the ground.
Since we'd already pretty much crossed the line last night, we don't really care about this little spark.
So he wanted to vent his anger before disaster struck!
Chapter 153 Demonic Tokyo (Part 4) (10/19)
At school, just after the second period of math class ended, Sora Honba appeared at the door of Class 2, craning his neck and waving to Kami Kotekawa.
Kotori Hana-mai and Shirakawa Mototo on the other side both turned their heads to look.
The former looked suspicious, while the latter glanced at it and then looked away.
Kotekawa Kami glanced at Fujiwara-sensei, who was still tidying up materials on the podium, got up and left the classroom. He walked with Fujiwara to the corner of the stairs before asking, "Looking for me?"
Sorata nodded repeatedly, then asked mysteriously, "Do you have time after school this afternoon?"
Kotekawa Kami thought for a moment, then didn't answer immediately: "What is it?"
He has a lot on his plate, but if Glasses-kun has something urgent to attend to, then his business can be postponed a little.
"Well..." Glasses-kun rubbed his hands together, his face flushed and his mouth agape, "Ogasa-senpai said he'd like to get to know everyone, so if we have time this afternoon, how about we go to a coffee shop together for a drink?"
"Oh?" Kotekawa Kami couldn't help but take a closer look. His friend's... almost-girlfriend wanted to meet everyone, which probably meant they had confirmed their relationship and were planning to take it to the next level. They might even get married in the future, live happily ever after, have seven children, and be surrounded by grandchildren, making a bunch of single people envious.
This is a big deal, it concerns the man with glasses' lifelong happiness. He nodded: "I have time! Ask them in the group."
Honba Sorata thought for a moment, hesitated, and said, "No, it's fine if just the two of us go today. After all, it's our first meeting. If everyone goes, Ogasawara-senpai might get shy, and besides..."
He stammered for a long time but couldn't finish the second half.
Kami Kotekawa sensed that what he was about to say was crucial, so he pressed on, asking, "And what?"
