Nibutani confirmed that Zhixing was indeed understanding his inner thoughts, and he felt both afraid and a little happy that there really were supernatural powers in this world.

"...Is that your answer to not wanting anything?"

"You're so concerned about your own Chuunibyou dark history, but you don't even want to address this?"

Nibutani turned around gorgeously, trying to hide his inner thoughts.

Zhixing had to admit that doing so did indeed cause [Mind Reader] to lack information for translation, so it did not respond again.

After waiting for a while, Danbutani saw that Zhixing was motionless, so he turned around and looked at Zhixing.

Zhi Xing remained silent, causing Nibutani to turn around and speak again:

"It can't be helped. I'm already in high school. If it had been a year or two earlier, I might have signed this weird contract with you for the sake of fairies or something."

"But I don't have any major complaints about my current life. Even if there are some minor troubles, they are part of life and there's nothing we can do about it."

Zhi Xing, having confirmed that he couldn't [read minds] from the figure behind him, followed Nibutani's perspective and looked at the projection of the deserted station outside, saying, as if with a nostalgic air:

"There was a girl who had a happy family and her friends treated her very well. She didn't have many desires. She would even envy her friends for a whole day when they received love letters."

Nibutani seemed to be tempted, but he stopped himself from turning around and silently pricked up his ears.

"But she's different from you. In her mind, she's always been an ordinary person who's been helped by others, so she looks forward to being able to help others one day."

“At this point, you can kind of put your ideas into action, even if it’s just with a relatively small number of like-minded people.”

Nibutani seemed to be thinking about his past, hugged himself, and said in a somewhat awkward voice:

"At that time, only a few dozen people actually left messages. The others just accidentally clicked in to take a look and then left. This was not for the sake of gaining other people's satisfaction!"

"Whether it's dozens of people, or just a few, or even just one person who needs help, she would definitely help, especially if she has the ability to do so."

"Is...Is that so? Isn't this good? Why did you mention it so specifically?"

"She had the same wonderful life as you, but she chose to sacrifice herself in order to help others."

"what?"

Nibutani couldn't help but look at Zhixing. Just looking at her expression showed that she had anticipated the fate of the person Zhixing was talking about.

"Yes, she is dead. I witnessed her death."

"Heh...heh, that's not funny. You're referring to Chuunibyou, right, that girl? You mean graduating early, right?"

"It's real and physical, and she's not the only one."

Nibutani's body froze and he began to feel a chill in his heart.

Zhixing also saw through Nibutani's mentality and then revealed his true purpose:

"Since you are quite satisfied with your current life and there is no need for a contract, I don't want to force you."

"But even without a contract, I will take your power away."

"So, maybe you need to stay here for the next few days until I gain your power."

"After all, you've already touched my hand. You shouldn't die so soon."

Zhixing said this and slowly walked outside, no longer reading Nibutani's mind.

"Is it all right if we just fight?"

Before Zhi could walk far, he heard Nibutani's voice from behind.

"You're not here as an enemy, are you? Then, fighting together with Rikka Nanamiya and the others will resolve that crisis."

"That's what you came here for!"

Zhixing turned sideways and looked at Nibutani with only his left eye exposed.

"Since you want my power no matter what, then I'll give it to you."

"It's just that after resolving the so-called crisis, we must be able to live a normal life in peace and without death. You can guarantee this, right?"

Zhi Xing turned his gaze to the side and then said comfortingly:

"It's okay. The only two people in danger of death are the [Evil King's True Eye] and the [Thunder Hammer User]."

"[Magical Demon Girl] and [Mori-sama] are just experiencing a love disaster, no one will die."

"Love tribulation? With whom?"

Nibutani tilted his head. Knowing the matters concerning the other two, he would probably need to communicate with the [Phantom Thief] in person, so he focused his doubts on his own problem.

"Why do you seem to be missing someone? Where's Togashi-san? The one with the [Black Flame User]?"

Zhixing avoided this question in silence, because the crisis for the male protagonist basically did not exist.

After all, this is a campus romance drama told from the male protagonist's perspective.

Apart from Rikka and Touma, who both almost fell from the building, the only other people who had this experience were Shizue Nanamiya and Yuri Nibutani.

There is not a single crisis related to the male protagonist.

Seeing that Zhixing neither left nor answered, Nibutani understood what he meant and did not continue to ask questions on this issue. Instead, he raised a new question:

"So, how do we sign the contract? Do we shake hands? After we sign the contract, can you tell me what the so-called crisis is?"

Upon hearing this, Zhi Xing walked back to Nibutani, stretched out his left hand again, and repeated:

"I will help you return to a normal school life. In exchange, after the crisis is resolved, you must hand over the power of [Mr. Mori] to me."

"If you have no objection, then please hold my hand."

Nibutani took a deep breath, confirmed his agreement to the contract in his mind, and then held Zhixing's hand.

But... nothing happened!!

This was also expected by the paper industry.

After all, they were now in the [Witch's Barrier] that could isolate the cognitive world, and there had been no sound before, which was probably related to the fact that the secret treasure statue had not been fully built.

The reason why Zhixing did this was to test the isolation effect of the [Witch Barrier].

Let’s see if the shadow “Mr. Mori” can synchronize this memory after Nibutani returns to reality.

Also, can the impression space penetrate this ordinary witch-level barrier?

At this moment, the two had reached a consensus on the contract. Zhixing had no intention of keeping anyone. Instead, after the handshake, he pointed at the figure in the distance under Nibutani's gaze and said:

"That's a familiar, a normal little monster-level thing."

"And the crisis of world destruction refers to this kind."

Nibutani squinted his eyes and didn't notice the familiar here, but apart from being able to see that the other party was able to move, he could not see anything else.

"If it's just a familiar, then maybe only a few people will die, but a familiar can grow into a witch by devouring souls."

As he spoke, Zhixing held Nibutani's hand again, and then, as doors suddenly appeared and rushed towards them, Zhixing brought Nibutani into the witch's room.

"This is the Witch, a being known to be capable of destroying an entire city in a matter of hours."

Nibutani had not yet recovered from this introduction, but his eyes instinctively followed the introduction on the paper and looked at the little bear witch who was as tall as a tall building.

"Of course, the life and death of just one city cannot be considered a world-destroying crisis. But based on this, the witch can also split into infinite familiars, and they can all grow into the same witch?"

The little bear noticed the arrival of Paper Line and was about to reach out to take Paper Line to the maintenance table, but at the sound of Paper Line's return, he and the surrounding environment began to distort until they returned to the scene in the memory space.

Zhi Xing subconsciously observed that the two were not at the tram station, and realized that the witch had moved for a short time, and then continued to introduce:

"So I need you to solve the source of all these problems before the situation becomes irreversible."

"I don't know who among you can do it, but it seems that after you signed the contract, no changes have occurred. So unfortunately, you can only watch."

Nibutani was obviously frightened by the size of the witch. After the danger was over, he did not let go. Instead, he looked at Zhixing with an expression of disbelief and asked:

"You want five high school students to fight such a huge witch? What about you, sir? Don't you have any other options?"

Zhixing shook his head and explained:

"Ordinary weapons can't deal with them. Even familiars are not afraid of piercing damage, and a familiar's strength is greater than that of an adult."

"So I don't expect you to resolve this world-destroying crisis head-on. Instead, I need you to infiltrate the target's mind and change the foundation on which magic relies."

"Can...can you be more specific?"

"...Let the source of the familiar be born lose its despair, or simply let the familiar return."

Nibutani understood a little bit this time, but he still didn't know the origin of the familiar.

This time, Zhixing realized that he had forgotten to introduce Witch's Kiss. ​​When he was about to speak, Nibutani asked another question.

"So, what should we do? Should I do it, or should I do it again?"

"Generally speaking, your shadow in this world cannot move freely, so it cannot reach the source."

“Only when you arrive at the scene in person can you take action, but that doesn’t allow you to enter another person’s heart.”

"Therefore, the only way to resolve this crisis is to have her hand over her power to you."

"Whether it's you or them, as long as someone can gain this power, there will be a chance to resolve this crisis."

Nibutani nodded in understanding. Zhixing wanted to introduce the situation of Witch's Kiss, but in the blink of an eye, Nibutani, who was originally holding hands with him, disappeared, and was replaced by "Lord Mori" in the distance who walked towards them.

Can I pull my main body back to the hall from this far away? Wait, the [camera] can see her. She's back at the train station. Is this... exiting the image space?!

Just as Zhixing was about to look at Nibutani differently and consider renewing the contract, [Lord Mori] also walked up to Zhixing.

Zhixing looked over subconsciously, and his attention was immediately drawn to another person who shouldn't be there.

"Senior wants to talk to Mr. Yasen about something. Maybe we can solve your problem without any trouble."

"Mr. Yasen, long time no see~"

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be...asleep at home?"

Zhixing looked at Fennel who appeared in front of him with Lord Mori and felt a hint that fate was being corrected.

But this feeling was not accurate, because Fennel soon spoke:

"Last time, Mr. [Yasen] left too quickly. I forgot to tell Mr. [Yasen] something, and I couldn't find you since then. I finally ran into you, so I came here~"

"Report?"

"Well, it seems you're welcome to come over. I hope you can talk to him alone."

"Are you sure it's me?"

"Yes, it's a stranger who suddenly comes to this city."

"who is he?"

"That guy seems to be from another city, his name is Otosaka Yuu."

“I don’t have any impression.”

"So, do you know the One-Eyed Death God? He's famous overseas, the one who hunts down people with superpowers."

Zhixing's pupils shrank because he heard a word that shouldn't appear here.

"Isn't this just Chuunibyou?"

Chapter 406: The Comet from Charlotte

Zhi Xing looked at Fennel, who had volunteered to provide this information, with some doubt. Fennel answered every question and said:

"That's what they said on the phone. It seems to be the same as Rikka's [Evil King True Eyes]."

Zhixing shifted his gaze and glanced at the "Lord Mori" next to him who claimed to be a magician. He just nodded, but he became more confused in his heart.

Because Zhixing doesn't remember such a person appearing, especially since he is a boy.

Zhixing even downloaded the plot of this world onto his computer and took the time to read it several times.

If there are any unknown characters besides the main characters, they would only be the imposter who plays "Mr. Mori" and can defeat the original "Mr. Mori".

Other than these, everyone else does not have any self-awareness such as "Chuunibyou".

Fan fiction? Or a movie? I remember I downloaded the movie, but it was just a compilation, so there weren't any new characters.

And even if there is someone with the same shadow of Chunibyo, they can only stay in their own distorted space, or where the real body is. So how did he come into contact with Anise-senpai...

Zhixing suddenly realized that according to the logic of the existence of shadows, even if Fennel is very accepting of the second-year syndrome and is a supporting character with a high appearance rate among the protagonists, she should not be unable to leave her own place and come here.

After all, the [camera] has confirmed that Fennel's real body is sleeping at home, and this is the impression space where Zhixing just came out of the [Witch's Barrier], so there is only one answer.

"You deliberately created a fennel-like cognitive presence to divert my attention? Too bad, I don't know anyone called the One-Eyed Death God, and I know you don't know anyone with that name, so this UFO-backed trick won't work on me."
