Book 1: Chapter 52 New Actions

Try it or die!

Three minutes later, Yui Yuigahama hung up the phone with a long face, and there was even a small tear hanging from the corner of her eye.

Seeing Yui Yuigahama's expression, a subtle feeling arose in everyone's hearts.

Thankfully, it wasn't me who made the call...

"How about Yui?"

Yumiko Miura swallowed hard and asked cautiously.

"He...he told me to get lost, said I rebelled against the Heavenly Gang and plotted against him, and said I'm useless at everything except eating..." Yui Yuigahama sobbed and threw herself into Yumiko Miura's arms: "He even insulted me... Waaaaah..."

hiss!

So cruel.

The girls, except for Yui Yuigahama, couldn't help but exchange glances, and they could all see relief in each other's eyes.

'Thank goodness it wasn't me who made the call!' ×4.

"Damn it, that bastard actually made Yui cry! Was it really necessary?!"

Miura Yumiko touched Yuigahama Yui's hair somewhat guiltily, while cursing with a dazed look in her eyes, "This kind of jerk should stay single forever!"

"By the way, Yui, did he say anything else?"

Although that guy was a bastard, she didn't believe he would just let the two of them go to their deaths.

"Hmm..." Yui Yuigahama wiped away her tears, trying hard to recall: "It seems they really did say something, that they've arranged a combat training ground for us, inside the secret base..."

"What was it called again, the Tower of... something?"

Everyone: "..."

Dude, you're a fish, you only have a seven-second memory, right?!

"Hehehe, he was completely dumbfounded by Xiao Li's scolding back then..."

Although, but...sigh...

The group sighed in exasperation, finally gaining a basic understanding of how unreliable this guy was.

"So, are we going to the base now?" Yui Yuigahama asked curiously. "As for Riki, he should be playing games right now. I just heard KO's voice."

Ruri Gokou's eyelids twitched as she recalled the match from that day.

“Go ahead.” Yukino Yukinoshita nodded. “It’s good to go and take a look.”

Several people nodded.

"So, shall we use teleportation?"

When Gokou Ruri suddenly blurted out this sentence, the entire private room instantly fell into an odd silence.

"How about giving it a try?"

Seeing that no one spoke, Gokou Ruri tried to make a suggestion.

"Let's not do it now. It would take a huge toll on our stamina if we used it now." Yukino Yukinoshita looked tempted, but reason told her that it was better not to try this kind of thing with the few people who hadn't gained their powers yet.

"Hehe, it's okay, I prepared this."

Ruri Gokou smiled and placed her cat-shaped backpack on the table.

When I opened it, it was stuffed full of snacks!

You came prepared!

The girls' expressions began to turn strange.

"Then... try it?"

Seeing so many snacks, Yukino Yukinoshita was also a little tempted, after all, this kind of teleportation could be described as a miracle.

"You guys go ahead, I have something to do today."

At that moment, Komi Shoko silently raised the small whiteboard.

The remaining few didn't care and were instead excitedly preparing to experience their first time returning to the city.

Then, all four people except Komi Shoko turned into golden light and disappeared in front of her.

"If they all leave, wouldn't that be considered dining and dashing?"

Komi Shoko silently raised the whiteboard, then quietly walked out of the private room, paid the bill, and left the store.

"Hey, didn't five girls just go into that private room?"

"Why is there only one?"

The two waiters watched with suspicion as Komi Shoko paid and left. Only after she left did they curiously run to the private room to check.

hiss……

Not a single person was left...

The two waiters exchanged a glance and both noticed the fear in each other's eyes.

Could it be... that I've encountered a paranormal event?!

After leaving the coffee shop, Komi Shoko did not head to the secret base, but instead went alone to the entrance of a shopping mall.

She opened her phone and tapped on a chat window with a flounder profile picture.

There was an address inside, which was exactly where she was now.

'This must be it, the yellow alternate dimension that Li spoke of.'

She shuddered, then pulled a blank card from her pocket.

She asked Yui Yuigahama to make these at noon today, and paid her with five small cakes as payment.

'Squeeze it firmly and feel it carefully...'

She recalled the words Yuuki had written to her, and her slender, fair fingers gripped the card tightly as she closed her eyes slightly.

Before long, a strange feeling enveloped her entire body.

'So comfortable...'

'It feels so warm and cozy, just like a mother's embrace...'

In this extremely comfortable state, she felt drowsy, and her legs couldn't help but feel a little unsteady...

"drop!"

A sharp siren suddenly blared in her ears, startling her so much that her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"Why is there a traffic jam again?!"

An irritated male voice rang out, and Komi Shoko involuntarily opened her eyes, immediately startled.

She found herself not in front of the mall as before, but in the back seat of a car, and the loud horn that had just rang out was from the car she was in.

"What's wrong, Auntie?"

A childish voice rang in her ear, and Komi Shoko jumped, turning her head to find a little girl with two pigtails and rosy cheeks sitting next to her. It was this little girl who had just said those words.

Looking into the little girl's questioning eyes, Komi Shoko shook her head with a forced smile.

She knew nothing about the current situation and could only follow the little girl's words.

Miko didn't speak. The little girl sighed and asked the man driving in front, "Daddy, is there a traffic jam?"

Hearing the little girl speak, the man driving the car managed to calm his anger and forced a smile, saying, "It's alright, Xiao Kui, the traffic will be clear soon."

Komi Shoko subconsciously looked ahead.

Good heavens, it's blocked up like a sausage...

The atmosphere in the car was silent. Komi Shoko wanted to lighten the mood and try to get some information out of her, but unfortunately, she was socially awkward and couldn't manage any of that...

"Dad, how is Grandma's health?"

Fortunately, there was another child on the bus besides her, the kind of traditional child who doesn't play on his phone. These traditional children are naturally restless and like to make a ruckus.

Hearing the little girl's question, the man's smile became even more strained, but he still replied softly, "It's alright, your grandma... we're just here to visit your grandma, she'll be fine."

His tone was strange, as if he were talking to a little girl, or as if he were talking to himself.

Komi Shoko pondered for a moment. The known information was that the man and the little girl were father and daughter, and the little girl called herself "Auntie." It was estimated that this alternate dimension had set her up as the man's sister, and their purpose in coming here was to visit the man's mother.

The man's relationship with his mother... probably isn't very good... right?

Komi Shoko was a little unsure about this. The man's tone when talking about his mother was strange, a bit like worry, and a bit like concern.

"Isn't Mom coming along?"

Xiao Kui asked in confusion, her two big eyes blinking, making her look very cute.

"Your mother...sigh, your mother is too busy with work to go."

The man gave a bitter smile, sighed, and said softly.

Is there something wrong?

Komi Shoko expressionlessly scanned the man's right hand as he drove; there was no ring on it. As for his left hand… well, she couldn't see it…

Is the man having relationship problems with his wife?

"But Mom has been going out drinking every night these past few days..." the little girl said, sounding a little aggrieved. "She always leaves Xiaokui alone at home, and Xiaokui is very scared..."

Ah this...

Komi Shoko subconsciously looked at the man.

The man's expression was complex, showing anger, heartache, but mostly a sense of... helplessness.

"It's okay, Xiao Kui. Daddy will pick you up after he finishes his work, okay?"

The man comforted Xiao Kui, but his tone was very heavy; it sounded more like he was comforting himself than his daughter.

"it is good!"

The little girl's temper flared up quickly but subsided just as fast. When she heard that her father was going to take her home, she immediately became happy.

This caused great distress for Komi Glass.

"Auntie, how come you're so beautiful?"

"Auntie, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Auntie, Auntie, why aren't you saying anything?"

…………

I'm a socially awkward person!

Komi Shoko felt like her head was about to explode, experiencing the terror of unruly children for the first time.

However, the car quickly passed through the congested section and continued moving forward. Xiao Kui seemed to be the type of person who gets sleepy as soon as the car starts moving, and soon fell asleep in the back seat.

"You've had a tough time, Shoko. Even though you have social anxiety, I, as your older brother, still have to drag you home with me..."

After Xiaokui fell asleep, the man driving said apologetically, "But Mom is sick this time, I guess..."

She didn't finish speaking, but Komi Shoko understood.

She thought for a moment, then took out a small whiteboard and pretended to write on it before standing it up.

"It's fine."

"Oh, thank you..." The man saw the words in the rearview mirror and smiled wearily. "But don't end up like your brother. Find a good job, preferably one with job security..."

"Also, you need to be more careful when judging people. Don't make the same mistake I did, where I even had to pay to see my own daughter these days..."

"As for me, my life is pretty much over. The only thing I can't let go of in this life is Xiao Kui..."

This is a pitiful middle-aged office worker.

Listening to the man's rambling, Komi Shoko quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

The middle-aged man was a corporate slave. He originally had a relatively happy family, but the company went bankrupt, and he lost his job. When he looked for a new job, the salary was far less than before.
