Chapter 108: Haruno's Showdown, Yukino's Arrival! Kuriyama Mirai, Resembling a Newlywed Wife

When they returned to the other anime/manga world, it was still night.

Aragaki Manami found it quite interesting and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

Although I earned less from live streaming, my own happiness is definitely more important.

Being watched by people from two different worlds, even in reality, he probably wouldn't feel much emotion.

But if someone is watching him even during times when he wants to relax, then probably only someone without feelings would be indifferent.

After all, he hasn't become a pervert to some extent.

While taking a bath, Manami Aragaki didn't forget to consolidate the items she had obtained from completing various missions.

"Many scattered 'concepts' were transformed into power that the [Phoenix] could absorb, thus completing myself."

"The power of myths and legends is indeed quite amazing. The widespread fame, combined with the humanistic and historical power accumulated by the oil painting itself over many years, gave me a sense of arrogance that was not particularly negative, but rather full of positive and rebellious emotions."

"The special nature of [Arrogance] and the power of [Hero] complement each other, but if they are combined, it might make me more susceptible to the effects of the [Storm] I experienced before..."

A hint of apprehension flashed across Aragaki Manami's expression.

Although he admitted from the beginning that he was selfish, he was not so selfish as to act recklessly to the point of killing innocent people.

Because he is a normal human being.

The so-called "normal" simply means that one's thoughts and ideas are still within the realm of ordinary people, at least that's what Manami Aragaki thinks.

He killed a large number of members of the Witch Cult and a squad of Jin soldiers, yet he still didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Manami Aragaki stated that there was nothing wrong with her thinking.

Not far from Aragaki Manami's residence, a young girl's mindset is being transformed.

"...Is it all true?"

"Yukino, you can't say things that reveal your age."

As her name suggests, Hino, whose personality seems as cheerful as sunshine, smiled at her younger sister.

Although she felt a little reluctant, she knew that if something really happened to the family, it would be better if she didn't feel that reluctantness at all!

“…I understand,” Yukino replied slowly, her emotions somewhat unstable. “I will be prepared.”

What to prepare?

Naturally, it's time to prepare to go on the field and help!

At this time, the Yukinoshita family, which can only be considered a newly rich family, is being coveted by a group of people because they have swallowed a piece of cake by chance. The family, which was originally developing steadily, now only has two paths left - to move forward or to fall apart.

There is absolutely no way out!

Therefore, even though Yukino was studying abroad, she was transferred directly to a school in Chiba, even though she was about to graduate from junior high school!

Unfortunately, because her social network is already established, coupled with her aloof and sharp-tongued personality formed by her past experiences, Yukino remains isolated.

But because of her good background, and because even idiots know that the person who transferred here just before graduation must be someone special... a group of isolated and jealous girls were helpless.

Regardless of the circumstances, Yukino was fully aware of this situation.

Knowing that she had enjoyed various privileged conditions that most people could understand since childhood due to her family connections, she had no right to make demands.

Accepting it wholeheartedly is the best choice.

Yukino vaguely sensed that her older sister Haruno was in some kind of predicament, and she felt a lump in her throat, so she didn't say anything more for a moment.

As for Yang Nai.

She smiled, making no attempt to ease the tense atmosphere.

Suffer more setbacks now, and you'll suffer less later.

This is the truth.

The situation at this moment is actually quite complex—

The territory that the Yukinoshita family planned to expand and develop has become the domain of invasive species. The domain is home not only to dangerous fantasy beasts, but also to batches of fantasy ingredients that have important effects on the human body.

However, those fantastical beasts are all exceptionally ferocious. If they were to riot, they could even cause a major paralysis in Chiba and nearby Tokyo!

Originally, they planned to cooperate, but many families with a longer history in Chiba looked down on the Yukinoshita family and intended to give them only a small amount of benefits. As a result…

This led to dissatisfaction among a group of elders and beneficiaries of the Yukinoshita family. On the surface, they seemed to be compromising and delaying, but in reality, they started looking for people in other regions.

He looks like a "traitor".

Ke Yang didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

If she were to suffer this loss in silence, she could already guess that things wouldn't get better; in fact, they might get worse!

The world of fame and fortune is like a battlefield!

War is inherently cruel.

Nothing will change because of compromise and concessions.

How could Yang Nai, who was raised by her parents from a young age and studied various kinds of knowledge with many elites in the family, not understand?

But I guess others understand this principle as well.

Therefore, a tough battle is ahead...

No, that's not right. They've already been fighting for a while now.

Yang thought to himself.

Looking up at her younger sister Yukino, who was still deep in thought, she picked up her cup, stood up, and went to fill it with water.

I'm thirsty.

"..." Yukino also took advantage of her sister Haruno turning around to slowly rub her temples with her fingers.

The already cold fingers were used to cool down the slightly warm facial skin.

She needs to calm down.

The situation was complicated and chaotic, and a crack suddenly appeared in her worldview, so she couldn't afford to panic.

……

The next morning, Aragaki Manami was already up.

The live stream has also started.

He was bombarded with questions about why it wasn't open 24/7, but he naturally didn't answer them.

When Yukino Yukinoshita called him from outside the door to have breakfast, he responded—because things hadn't been confirmed yet, he and Mirai Kuriyama could only stay there, waiting for their reward to be paid.

He stepped outside, thought for a moment, and waited in the spacious and clean corridor.

Not long after, with a bang, a short-haired girl wearing a pink knitted cardigan, a sailor skirt, and black tights hurriedly walked out the door.

Soft sunlight streamed through the transparent glass windows of the corridor.

Her short-haired, fluffy, pinkish-brown hair shimmered brightly as Kuriyama Mirai spotted Aragaki Manami waiting for her at a glance. "...Good morning, Mr. Aragaki!"

"Good morning, Kuriyama."

Manami Aragaki nodded, her eyes only glancing casually at those slender yet vibrant legs.

Because of her short stature, her legs aren't actually very long, but they are quite shapely.

After he finished speaking, he headed towards Yukino Yukinoshita's address.

Kuriyama Mirai followed suit step by step.

I thought to myself.

According to workplace etiquette, following behind your superior should not be a problem.

Manami Aragaki was thinking: She looks like a newlywed wife. When the invasive species riots at night, I might as well not take her with me and just act cute for him.

Chapter 109: Acquired a Kuriyama Mirai! Yukinoshita, the Gatekeeper

Enter Yukino Yukinoshita's residence.

Manami Aragaki and Mirai Kuriyama politely said, "Sorry to bother you."

"Please don't stand on ceremony," Yukino Yukinoshita replied politely, adding that her older sister, Haruno, had to leave to attend to some business.

Manami Aragaki smiled, gave a few simple replies, and then went to eat and drink there with Mirai Kuriyama.

Yukino Yukinoshita is a good cook, and the living environment here is also very nice. If there's nothing else to do, it's perfect to just stay at home.

No wonder Mirai Kuriyama prefers to be a reclusive homebody here.

After finishing their meal, Manami Aragaki and Mirai Kuriyama bid farewell to Yukino Yukinoshita and left like passersby.

The corridor outside the door.

Aragaki Manami looked at Kuriyama Mirai: "I suggest you go out for a walk, try not to become a gloomy woman. Of course, this is just my suggestion."

Kuriyama Mirai turned her head slightly: "...Oh."

"At the same time, I hope you don't go to places with few people, because there are still quite a few perverts who attack pretty girls."

"……I see."

"Then keep it up and become a vibrant and energetic girl."

"...I'm not happy."

"Then I won't say anything more." Manami Aragaki nodded knowingly and then left.

Kuriyama Mirai, who remained in place, puffed out her cheeks and stood still until Aragaki Manami boarded the elevator before she began to walk forward unsteadily.

Manami Aragaki, who was already taking the elevator downstairs, secretly shook her head.

After leaving the building, I followed the directions on my phone's map to my destination, rented a car, and started wandering around.

[Isn't this world supposed to have fantasy ingredients and fantasy beasts? Why do they seem so relaxed?]
