Seino Makoto said confidently:

"You borrowed points from me just before entering the dungeon, you wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"

"Pah!"

Eriri lightly spat, secretly letting out a sigh of relief, and glared at him shyly:

"I won't forget... I'll return the points to you right away!"

"Double interest, thank you."

"You evil capitalist, believe it or not, I'll hang you on a street lamp!"

"..."

at the same time.

The senior's languid, sweet voice rang out from the side:

"Junior, if I remember correctly, you live alone, right?"

"That's right."

Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto looked at the girl with long, straight black hair, "What's wrong?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and made a request:

"I'd like to stay at my junior's house for a day."

"Huh?"

Eriri quickly opened her eyes wide, forgetting all about shame, and looked over warily:

"Kasumigaoka Utaha! Why aren't you going home? What are you doing staying at a boy's house?"

Kato Megumi, who had been quietly standing to the side, paused slightly, looked up at her senior, and gently played with a strand of hair behind her ear.

"how?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked down, a playful smile curving her pink lips. "So, you're already jealous of someone who likes to call people by their full names, Sawamura-kun?"

"No, don't talk nonsense!"

Eriri took a half step back, her pretty face flushed, and stammered in denial:

"I'm not jealous of this guy!"

Faced with her senior's decisive blow, the arrogant girl was no match for her and was defeated.

Fortunately, everyone was exhausted and sleepy at the moment, their mental energy depleted, and the senior student no longer had the mind to tease Zhai Li. She explained softly:

"Given my current condition, it's definitely impossible for me to go to school... My mom is a full-time housewife, and she'll be very worried if I go home to rest now. So I'm thinking of staying at my junior's house for the night and then going back home in the evening."

The senior's request was reasonable, and Kiyono Makoto naturally had no reason to refuse, but for some reason, he felt that if he agreed directly, someone would be unhappy.

"Kato, what do you say?"

Kiyono Makoto turned to look at the bob-haired girl.

"Eh..."

Kato Megumi twirled a strand of hair between her fingers and replied lightly, "I'm fine with anything, but there is indeed an empty room upstairs."

Kiyono Makoto nodded: "Then senior, you can go back with us."

"Thank you, junior."

Kasumigaoka Utaha thanked her softly.

"Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!"

Eriri's expression changed upon hearing this, and she quickly took out her phone from her bag.

The next second.

Dozens of messages and phone calls popped up one after another, making Eriri's scalp tingle:

"It's all phone calls and messages from Mom and Dad... Could Mom be considering calling the police?"

Seino Makoto stared at the past speechlessly.

"So, Eriri didn't send a message to her family before entering the dungeon?"

Eriri looked away guiltily, stammering:

"I forgot... and time is so tight, and I'm in a rush to buy skills, there's simply not enough time."

"Heh~"

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and spoke with a mocking tone:

"How could you forget something so important? You really are a useless young lady."

"Kasumigaoka Utaha!"

Eriri clenched her fists in embarrassment and anger, her little tiger teeth gleaming coldly at the corners of her mouth:

"I'm not a loser, okay! Everyone said I was just too nervous!"

"Don't make a sound."

Kiyono Makoto sighed and pressed his temples. "Hurry up and send a message explaining the situation. I don't want to be surrounded by the police."

My senior sent a message to her family last night in advance. Kato has been coming to live with us for the past few days, and Seino Makoto is so carefree that he doesn't have anyone to worry about. So only Takumi is facing a major family crisis.

"I see......"

Eriri took a deep breath, resisting the urge to run to the bathroom to change her panties, and quickly sent a message on her phone.

The Sawamura family is considered a prominent family in Japan. He hadn't returned home all night and couldn't be contacted; could his mother think he'd been kidnapped?

Will a huge troop of police soon be blocking the door?

In the midst of the tension, the message quickly showed as read.

The next second.

The phone suddenly started vibrating.

Eriri was flustered and instinctively answered the video call.

A woman with black hair appeared on the phone screen. She was wearing a yukata, had delicate and cute features, and bore a six-point resemblance to Zhai Li, but had noticeable dark circles under her eyes, and a hint of anger and worry on her pretty face.

"Eri, where are you?"

"That...shopping mall."

Is it safe now?

"Ahem... It's safe, actually my phone just ran out of battery."

Eriri responded while preparing to sneak off to the restroom.

"He won't answer my calls or reply to my messages, fine, but now he's even lying to me... Wait, who is that guy?"

Sawamura Sayuri's eyes suddenly lit up as she noticed Kiyono's presence.

"What boy...?"

Eriri subconsciously turned her head, only to realize that she had taken two steps and accidentally put Kiyono Makoto in the frame. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she quickly explained:

"Mom, don't overthink it! He's just a friend!"

The anger and tension on Sawamura Sayuri's face vanished quickly, replaced by a smile that sent chills down Eriri's spine:

"I see, so the reason you didn't come home at night was because you were playing games with boys?"

When talking about games, Sayuri Sawamura deliberately paused slightly, clearly implying something.

Eriri, of course, understood the subtext perfectly.

There was no way around it; Sayuri was the one who guided her to become Kashiwagi Eri's teacher.

"Eri has good taste, that boy is very handsome..."

"Mom, don't talk nonsense!"

Eriri's pretty face flushed, and she quickly interrupted the spellcasting to prevent her mother from uttering any more inappropriate words:

"I'm going back right away. I'll explain when I get home!"

"..."

Chapter 70: Kato Megumi, the girl holding the flag.

"This is troublesome..."

After ending the video call, Eriri breathed a sigh of relief, then helplessly covered her forehead.

Although we've managed to get away with it now, I'm sure I'll have a real headache when I get back.

My mother is so smart, it's hard for her to be fooled by ordinary excuses...

Thinking of this, Eriri even wanted to escape and stay at Kiyono's house like her senior.

As long as I don't go home, I don't need to rack my brains about how to explain it.

But when Eriri opened her pink lips, she found herself completely unable to say anything.

In the dungeon, not only was my first kiss stolen, but I was also seen naked... After so many embarrassing things happened, how could I possibly ask to stay there?

"Eh...it's Futaba-san and Shoko-san."

Kato Megumi's voice rang out softly.

Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto looked over and saw two girls walking towards the restroom. The one in front was a petite girl in a white coat with a large build, while the one behind was a timid girl who was walking with her head down, counting ants.

It was Rio Futaba and Shoko Nishimiya.

"The location where you return to reality and the location where you enter the instance are the same."

Rio Futaba walked over with her hands in her pockets:

"I ran into Shoko when I came out, so we came together."

"As expected, the players who triggered the real-world instance were never too far away."

Kiyono Makoto took out his phone. "Let's exchange contact information."

"it is good."

"..."

After a brief chat, Kiyono Makoto felt a throbbing headache, was utterly exhausted, and desperately wanted to collapse into bed.

"That's all for now. Everyone go back and get some rest. We can talk on our phones if you need anything."

Rio Futaba looked up at her and gently reminded her:

"Kiyono-kun, don't forget the curse that binds you."

"I won't forget."

Kiyono Makoto pressed his temples. "My head hurts so much right now. I'll talk about it after I wake up."

"You guys go first..."

Eriri covered her skirt with her hands, her pretty face slightly flushed, her eyes darting around. "My stomach isn't feeling well, I need to go to the restroom."

The stomach discomfort was a pretense; the real purpose was to change panties.

Being in Silent Hill was one thing, but one could comfort oneself with the idea that it was fraught with danger and forced by circumstances. Now that one is back in the real world, there is no way to go back into the vacuum.

Kiyono Makoto glanced at Otakuri and shook his phone:

"...Message me if you need help."

Eriri blushed, covered her skirt with her hands, and glared at him shyly:

"Hurry up, hurry up, there's nowhere we need your help!"

"..."

The group walked out of the mall together and then went home separately.

"I'm sorry, I have to go back now."
