I'm doing abstract animation

"Um, which aspect are you referring to?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was a little confused by his question. "If you're talking about the shopping mall incident..."

"It's not that."

Yuuki Osamu shook her head, then turned her gaze to Yuuki Asuna: "I'm sorry, I probably can't continue our conversation today..."

Asuna Yuuki pouted: "Who's talking like they want to chat with you? Madoka Magica has already finished airing, okay? It's all your fault for not letting me go and cheer them on!"

Yuuki Osamu: "..."

You're still thinking about your chubby little round face!

Ignoring Asuna Yuuki's abstract appearance, he thoughtfully stroked his chin, then took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Megumi Kato: "Megumi, I might need to trouble you to deliver this to my cousin. Here, take this. Use it when appropriate."

Kato Megumi took the card and glanced at it. It showed a person who looked exactly like Yuki Risa, except that he looked much younger than he did now, like Yuki Risa in his junior high school days.

She nodded, carefully placed the card close to her body, and then suddenly asked, "Is it that one?"

Yuuki paused for a moment, then nodded emphatically: "That's it!"

Kato Megumi's face also turned serious. She nodded firmly and said, "Don't worry, I will make sure she gets home safely."

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you guys talking about?!"

Asuna Yuuki watched the two of them bewildering their riddle-like behavior with some displeasure.

"It's nothing, Yuuki-kun. I'll take you home from now on."

Kato Megumi looked at the other person expressionlessly, her small body exuding a powerful aura that instantly intimidated Yuuki Asuna.

"Fine, just go. Why are you being so mean..."

With a pout, Asuna Yuuki followed Megumi Kato away, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Watching her retreating figure, Yuuki stroked his chin in thought. Asuna was a little different from what he had imagined. She was said to be a homebody, but as they got to know each other better, he realized that her homebody status was probably just an act. Her personality wasn't as strange as she appeared. The reason she was rejected by everyone was probably because of her unusual attire.

"Hey, everyone's gone, why are you still looking!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha reached out and waved in front of him.

Yuki Ryo subconsciously glanced at her ample, black-stockinged thighs... but quickly looked away, his expression turning serious. If this could affect him, the problem was definitely not minor.

Although he moved quickly, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was watching him closely, still noticed. After all, she was a famous beauty, and being stared at was commonplace for her. When she saw Yuuki looking at her legs again, she felt ashamed and indignant, but also a little smug.

Looks like I'm still quite charming~

Her eyes darted around, and she said in a suggestive tone, "You really like my legs that much? If it were you, it wouldn't be impossible, you know. If you beg me, I might let you touch them~"

What can be done?

Yuuki was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that the guy in front of her was flirting with her, and said angrily, "Still touching me? You know you're in big trouble, right?!"

what?

"What's wrong with me?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Yuuki Ri with a puzzled expression. "It's clearly your own problem, okay? Is it wrong for me to be too charming?"

And she's just too charming...

Do you think I've never seen a woman before?

"You're overthinking it. I wouldn't go around acting like a horny person in the street," Yuuki said irritably. "My will is as hard as steel. The fact that I'm inexplicably attracted to you is a huge problem in itself!"

Is this true or not...

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Yuuki Ri with suspicion: "It sounds plausible, but it looks more like she's just making excuses for herself, doesn't it?"

"..."

Damn, it seems that's really the case.

Ok?

Just as Yuuki was about to fall into the trap of self-justification, he suddenly sensed something and frowned as he looked behind Kasumigaoka Utaha.

There was one... no, several boys standing there, secretly glancing in this direction.

He paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something, instantly activating his sensory abilities, and his expression changed drastically.

"what happened?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha, noticing his gaze, was about to turn her head to look when Yuuki Osamu grabbed her head and pressed it down.

"Don't look back!"

By the time she realized what was happening, Yuki's face was almost touching her right cheek.

"what are you doing!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned, about to explode on the spot. Although Yuuki was very handsome and she had a childhood crush on him, those were just feelings of affection. His current actions were far too presumptuous.

"Shh, don't be loud, look behind me at six o'clock..."

Although she desperately wanted to break free on the spot, she subconsciously looked in the direction Yuuki had indicated.

It was a flower bed, well hidden, but Kasumigaoka Utaha still managed to see half a hem of her clothing peeking out from the side of the flower bed…

Is someone following us?

Before she could even think about it...

"Don't rush, it's at two o'clock."

"The teaching building on the left, each floor..."

"Behind the trash can, in a straight line to the right..."

…………

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked in the directions he indicated one by one, and became more and more alarmed. Without exception, there were people hiding in every place that Yuuki Riku mentioned!

"Now... do you still think it's because of your charm?"

A soft voice rang in her ears, but to Kasumigaoka Utaha, it sounded like a muffled thunderclap, sending a chill down her spine.

"W-what's going on?"

She admitted that she was very charming, but she knew she couldn't possibly attract so many people's attention. Besides... this was no longer just attracting attention; it was stalking!

"I'm not entirely sure of the specific reasons, but have you considered something?"

"what?"

"If you debut as an idol, with your current appeal, you'd be a top star the moment you debut!"

"...You bastard, you're still joking at a time like this!"

"I'm not kidding, this makes way more money than writing novels!"

"Stop joking! Help me think of a solution..."

The two chatted casually, and to an uninformed person, it looked like a loving couple embracing and whispering sweet nothings...

no response?

Is it due to insufficient stimulation?

Frowning, Yuuki said in a low voice, "Excuse me..."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu: "?"

Before she could react, she felt herself being lifted up, with a pair of hot hands gripping her thighs tightly, lifting her up so that she was in a strange position with her legs straddling Yuuki Ri's waist.

"You bastard, what are you doing?!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha blushed instantly and began to struggle, but Yuuki Risa's hands were firmly fixed on her thighs, making her lower body stick tightly to his waist.

At first glance, it looks more like a couple playfully fighting.

"...Don't make a sound, I'm looking for the reason!"

boo~

Annoyed by her struggling, Yuuki Risa gave her a hard slap on the buttocks, and Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately quieted down.

Hmm, this feels pretty good...

The thought flashed through his mind, and then he focused even more intently on perceiving it.

After waiting for a while without seeing the scene he wanted, Yuuki frowned and released Kasumigaoka Utaha's legs.

Things are starting to look bad...

"I'm telling you, your situation is extremely dangerous right now, be careful... Why are you crying?"

Yuuki stroked his chin and began to explain to Asakagaoka Utaha, but halfway through the explanation, he discovered that the other was squatting on the ground rubbing small pearls!

Why should I cry?

Seemingly shocked by Yuuki's pronunciation, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked up at him blankly for a second before more small pearls slid down her cheeks.

This bastard is still asking me why I'm crying?!

I'm a perfectly healthy young woman, and you took advantage of me for no reason, especially in front of so many people. And you're asking me why I'm crying?!

Feeling increasingly aggrieved, Kasumigaoka Utaha simply stopped thinking about anything and squatted on the ground, hugging her knees and silently shedding tears. This scene left Yuuki Riku speechless.

"Hey, don't cry! There's a reason for all of this. I didn't mean to!"

He explained with a slight headache, "Just think of it as a doctor treating a patient. I'm trying to save you!"

One of the things he fears most, despite being fearless, is someone crying in front of him.

"What doctor touches a patient's thigh while treating them?!" Kasumigaoka Utaha's lips twitched, and her little pearl stopped flowing: "And... and he even hit me there..."

Yuuki Osamu: "..."

He admitted that his actions were indeed a bit abrupt. In the past, he would have definitely thought of a better way instead of getting involved himself, but now it was different; the trial was about to begin...

Oh, right, the trials!

P.S.: There will be another chapter later!

A City of Ghosts and Monsters: Chapter 42 A Strange Encounter

The system just announced the start of the trial yesterday, could it be starting today?!

That's possible!

Thinking about this, Yuuki no longer wanted to waste any more time.

"Stop crying, let's get out of here first."

Before Kasumigaoka Utaha could even react, Yuuki Risa squatted down and scooped her up in his arms, but not in a princess carry; rather, it was more like the kind of carry you would give a baby to take to the toilet…

However, there are still differences. Yuuki Risa is behind her, and Kasumigaoka Utaha is in front of her. The two are facing the same direction. Kasumigaoka Utaha is in a squatting position, and Yuuki Risa is holding her up by her calves with both hands.

Kasumigaoka Utaha: “???”

What kind of incredible pose is that?!

She was about to resist when she felt herself being lifted into the air.

With a light leap, Yuki took her to the roof of a nearby house, and then they began jumping around on the roof.

“I%……&￥……%……”

Kasumigaoka Utaha was rendered incoherent by the cold wind that rushed towards her as soon as she opened her mouth.

"What did you say? I can't hear you!"

“I%……￥%＃＆……”

"louder please!"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu: "..."

Of course, Yuuki was doing it on purpose; he just didn't want to continue arguing with her about unnecessary things, and he was thinking things through carefully.

There's definitely something wrong with Kasumigaoka Utaha, that's for sure.

All his previous actions were not meaningless, but rather a test.

After probing, he vaguely guessed something.

First of all, Kasumigaoka Utaha must have gotten involved with something strange, probably some kind of supernatural item, which has the ability to give her an attraction-up buff.

Next comes the most important part. He originally thought that this attraction was for the opposite sex and could make boys unconditionally attracted to Kasumigaoka Utaha. However, after the subsequent tests, he found that this attraction was not the kind of flashy charm boost and had absolutely nothing to do with feelings.

If it was an attraction based on feelings, then Yuuki Ryo immediately understood what it was because none of the many people spying on him showed any strong emotional reaction when he deliberately touched her inappropriately.
