Tokyo: Earth Online Manga Artist

Seeing Eri staring at her in a daze, Erina Aragaki smiled, picked up a simple handbag, and said, "Nara-san, let's go."

Eri Aragaki snapped out of her daze. "Okay, I'll call my friend and let her know we're heading out. We'll meet up in Shibuya later."

After making the call, the two left the apartment.

……

The two left the apartment and walked down the street.

It must be said that Eri Aragaki and Erina Aragaki are indeed beautiful girls.

Needless to say, Erina Aragaki, as Eri Aragaki's younger sister, the two sisters must look very similar.

With her carefully applied makeup and attire, she would definitely be a beautiful sight on the street, attracting the attention of passersby, whether male or female.

As for Eri Aragaki, in her own eyes, she didn't dress up at all; she just wore a slightly more formal outfit that was more like loungewear.

However, she overlooked the fact that she was actually a numerical freak.

Especially in Japan, a height of 1.72 meters with a curvaceous figure is already considered quite supermodel-like.

She herself thought her outfit was very ordinary, but in the eyes of others, it was an undeniable presence.

She perfectly embodies the famous saying of the "numerical monster": "What is a numerical monster? I don't feel any numerical values ​​at all."

Eri and Erina Aragaki were getting ready to go to the station to take the train.

However, at that moment, Eri Aragaki suddenly felt that something was wrong.

She noticed that the group of delinquent-looking boys who had just walked towards her paused for a moment when they saw her and Erina.

The young men with dyed yellow hair and wearing flashy shirts were chatting and laughing, but their smiles froze the moment their eyes fell on Eri Aragaki's face, and then they started whispering among themselves.

Then they slowed down and followed behind them.

At the same time, faint sounds came from behind.

"Is it her? The one my brother was talking about?"

"It seems so. It looks like this in the photo that Murayama-san gave me. Let me take a look."

“Someone come forward and take a look, make sure you don’t give anything away, and don’t get too close.”

……

Eri Aragaki frowned.

Two delinquent teenagers quickly walked up to them and passed by.

However, after passing them, one of them pretended to squat down to tie her shoelaces and took the opportunity to glance back at Eri Aragaki.

Then the two looked at each other and clumsily pretended nothing had happened and ran back.

Faint sounds came from behind again.

"Quickly inform the eldest brother, it's definitely her."

"Call your older brother!"

“That’s right, call your older brother and tell him she’s near the station.”

……

Eri Aragaki frowned even more, beginning to worry.

Although her combat skills are not very high, her strength is comparable to that of an adult male. In addition, the soul inside her body was originally male, so she wouldn't be so scared that her legs would go weak in this situation.

But there's a saying: two fists can't beat four hands.

Although she has a cheat code, the profession she has chosen so far is creator, not a combat profession, so she may not necessarily have the upper hand in a real fight.

Especially since her younger sister Erina was with her, she was even less likely to take any risks.

So she grabbed Erina's hand, quickened her pace, and tried to get to the station as soon as possible, hoping to shake off these delinquents whose motives she didn't know.

"Naisan?"

Erina looked at her with some confusion and asked.

“Someone is following us, let’s get on the bus.”

Eri Aragaki said softly, without stopping her steps.

Erina Aragaki's expression changed slightly, but she didn't turn around to look; she simply followed closely behind Eri Aragaki.

The two quickly entered the station, swiped their monthly passes, passed through the turnstiles, and headed towards the platform.

Just then, a tram pulled into the station, and Eri Aragaki quickly boarded it with Erina in tow.

She breathed a slight sigh of relief after the tram doors closed.

"Follow her!"

But she soon noticed that a delinquent teenager had followed her and squeezed on just before the doors closed.

The delinquent boy stood at the other end of the carriage, pretending to look at his phone, but his eyes kept glancing in their direction.

Eri Aragaki pulled Erina a few steps toward the middle of the carriage, standing near the door so they could get off at any time.

The tram started moving slowly and swaying.

Several stops passed, but the delinquent boy still didn't get off the bus.

Eri Aragaki noticed that he received a phone call in the middle of the call, said something in a low voice, then hung up and continued standing there.

Eri Aragaki began to consider whether she should get off at the next stop and transfer to another line.

Or they could simply go directly to the station staff and tell them that someone was following them.

As she was thinking, the tram arrived at another stop, and the doors opened.

And just then...

A somewhat familiar voice rang out.

"Aragaki-san?"

When Eri Aragaki looked up, she realized it was indeed someone she knew.

Akane Natsume.

Today she was wearing a beige linen shirt and dark blue wide-leg pants, and carrying a canvas bag.

After boarding the train, she glanced around the carriage, her gaze landing on Eri Aragaki. She then smiled and walked directly towards them.

"Aragaki-san, what a coincidence."

She blinked and greeted him with a smile.

Eri Aragaki was somewhat surprised to see Akane Natsume, but she still greeted her, saying, "Natsume-san, what a coincidence."

Natsume Akane smiled and said, "Yes...what a coincidence."

As she spoke, her gaze fell on Erina Aragaki, who was standing next to Eri Aragaki. When she saw that Erina's appearance clearly resembled that of Eri Aragaki, her eyes lit up slightly.

"This is my younger sister, Erina Aragaki."

Eri Aragaki quickly introduced, "Erina, this is Akane Natsume, from Tokyo Metropolitan University. I met her at school."

Erina Aragaki gave a polite, slight bow and said, "Hello, Natsume-san."

"So she's Aragaki-san's younger sister. No wonder they look so alike. They're both so pretty and cute..."

Natsume Akane's smile became even more intimate as she said, "Hello, Erina, nice to meet you."

Erina Aragaki smiled a little shyly.

Natsume Akane then asked, "Aragaki-san, where are you planning to go?"

Eri Aragaki replied, "We plan to go to Shibuya to buy some things... and then go sightseeing."

"What a coincidence, I was also planning to go to Shibuya today."

Natsume Akane's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "I didn't expect to run into you here..."

Eri Aragaki was about to say something when her peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of the other end of the carriage.

The delinquent teenager is getting off the bus.

He walked onto the platform, glanced back at Eri Aragaki, and then quickly headed towards the exit, disappearing into the crowd in no time.

Eri Aragaki paused for a moment.

Natsume Akane noticed her expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's that person from earlier. He's been following us ever since we got on the tram."

Eri Aragaki snapped out of her daze, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "What's a little strange is that he's gotten off the bus now."

Natsume Akane's expression turned serious.

She paused for a few seconds, as if thinking about something, before saying, "Could it be that you're overthinking it? Maybe they just happened to be on the same bus."

"No, before he got on the bus, he was one of a group of thugs."

Eri Aragaki shook her head. "Those thugs were still following me. I overheard them saying something like, 'Am I the one their boss was talking about?'"

Natsume Akane's expression became even more serious, but a hint of a smile flashed across her eyes. However, on the surface, she said, "Is this a serious matter? You'd better be careful."

Eri Aragaki nodded and said, "If I run into these guys again, I'll call the police."

Natsume Akane looked at her and agreed, saying, "Yes, calling the police was the right thing to do."

The tram continued on its way.

We've arrived at Shibuya Station.

The three of them got off the car together, walked out of the turnstile, and headed towards Bagongkou.

The station was bustling with people, mostly young people and tourists who were out having fun during the summer vacation.
