Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

Taking his first step, Makoto Haramura stepped inside without hesitation.

"Moreover, I think the chances of us actually fighting are very low."

……

Inside the completely enclosed building, there is a cylindrical fish tank-like structure made of tempered glass, with a diameter of over four meters and a length of about ten meters.

It was filled with red liquid.

And in that red liquid was a person hanging upside down.

He was dressed in a pure green surgical gown, floating headfirst in red liquid. His long, silver, knee-length hair was like electrical wires scattered in all directions, with every single strand visible.

Judging from his appearance alone, he seems to be male, but his facial features have a feminine softness.

But what's even more striking are those emerald green eyes.

There was no emotion in those emerald green eyes, only indifference towards everything, as if he were a great sinner who cared nothing for anything.

In front of this man were hundreds or even thousands of virtual screens floating.

His eyes followed the constantly changing data on the screen.

At that very moment, his eyes suddenly stopped moving, and the scene he was looking at froze as his eyes focused.

"Strange, is it this person again?"

His Adam's apple bobbed, and a soft, murmuring sound echoed within the man's body.

At the same time, the screen in front of him, which had been stopped, started spinning wildly.

The virtual screens that were originally displaying other content now almost all displayed the same image.

All the scenes that appeared were of Makoto Haramura.

The time span extends from just now all the way to the moment when Makoto Haramura rescued the dejected Misaki Shokuhou.

"In just six months, his behavior and personality changed, and he suddenly displayed spatial abilities."

The man hanging upside down suddenly fell silent.

A wise light shone in his otherwise calm eyes.

"Has it gone from being insignificant to being able to interfere with the main plot?"

The screen in front of me was still scrolling rapidly, but next to each image, various percentage calculations were displayed.

"In that case, let's meet."

"Some things need to be clarified."

……

The environment remains unchanged; the old streets and dilapidated residential areas are still there, and at night, even the streetlights are not on.

No, it can't be said that there was absolutely no light source.

However, one building was brightly lit, like a torch suddenly lit in a dark forest, standing out conspicuously.

"It feels like something I haven't felt in a long time."

"I wonder if Komaba is here today."

The pitch-black rift reappeared before Haramura Makoto. His gaze fixed on the room on the top floor, and he vanished from there once more.

The receptionist, who was working diligently at the front desk, was completely unaware that a man had paused at the door for a few seconds.

When he reappeared, the room was completely dark.

The room was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face; it was an anomaly compared to the other brightly lit rooms.

However, Makoto Haramura skillfully navigated around the various obstacles in the office and found the light switch with practiced ease.

All of a sudden!

The bright lights dispelled all the darkness in the room.

The neat and bright office came into direct view of Makoto Haramura.

The room's layout remained unchanged. Even though Makoto Haramura hadn't visited for seven months, the room was still spotless, indicating that it was regularly cleaned.

Moreover, the room is quite lively.

The lollipop wrappers and sticks buried in the trash can next to the coffee table indicate that people frequently visit this place.

As for who could do such a thing in his office?

You don't need to think about it to know.

"Bang bang bang-!"

A loud knocking sounded on the door.

"Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng, is that you back?"

A clear, childlike voice followed, and judging from the frequency of the knocking, the little one outside was definitely using both hands and feet.

"What is this? Speak of the devil, and he appears?"

Haramura Makoto quickly stood up from his chair and, in a cheerful mood, hurried to the front door.

With a click, the door opened, and a dark figure darted in from outside, like a fledgling returning to its nest, and immediately flew into Haramura Makoto's arms.

Makoto Haramura reached out and caught the small body that lunged at him.

"A familiar scent, it really is Cheng-gege."

The little girl in his arms rubbed against his chest frantically.

She looked like a lovesick woman, sniffing him all over.

"Fremya, it's been a long time."

That's right, who else could it be but Fremia?

Seven months had passed, and Fremia was still just as short as before. She hadn't gained any weight and remained as slender as ever, so slender that Haramura Makoto didn't dare to hug her tightly for fear of hurting her.

"It's been such a long time."

"Why don't you answer my calls? I thought it was because Cheng-gege hates me."

Fremia, nestled in his arms, raised her little head and stared at Haramura Makoto with her bright green eyes, looking aggrieved.

"I could hate Freya, but I can't hate anyone else."

Maintaining this posture, Makoto Haramura closed the door and carried Fremia to the sofa.

"Then why don't you answer my calls?"

Fremya was still very aggrieved.

In the past six months, she has lost count of how many times she has called Haramura Makoto. Sometimes at night, she would snuggle in her blankets and dial Haramura Makoto's number one by one.

"It's because I have something very important to do."

"Not being able to answer Fremia's call is purely due to force majeure."

Gently stroking his soft, blond hair, Makoto Haramura spoke patiently.

"Liar!"

Before Makoto Haramura could finish explaining, Freya's lips were already pouting.

“Even though some members saw you wandering around aimlessly on the street, Makoto.”

"He even said he was very busy. Cheng-gege is just lying to people."

Fremia was very angry.

My brother Cheng rarely came here before, sometimes only once every two weeks.

So even if they haven't come over for half a year, the other members of the 'Leo' group won't feel anything unusual.

But she and her brother Komaba knew very well.

Cheng-gege is very strange.

Although he rarely came here before, whenever the two of them called Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng would always answer.

If a Leo encounters a crisis, Makoto will definitely come to the rescue.

As a result, for the past seven months, neither he nor Komaba could find Makoto, whether by phone or by visiting him in person.

Sometimes, even when there's intelligence, Makoto has already returned home.

After Komaba opened the door, he couldn't find anyone inside the room.

"I really can't explain this."

Makoto Haramura let out a bitter laugh.

How was he supposed to explain to Freya, this little girl, the absurd idea that he had traveled through worlds and gone to other worlds?

"How about this."

Makoto Haramura's tone softened considerably.

"I promise Fremia that even if I lose contact in the future, it will definitely not be for more than a month. Is that okay?"

Makoto Haramura's attitude was quite sincere.

They didn't treat Fremia casually just because she was a child. Fremia could sense Haramura Makoto's feelings, and her attitude softened.

"Oh well."

Chapter 157 Meeting Aleister

"I want to go to the amusement park tomorrow."

The little girl in his arms stretched out her tiny hand and protested loudly.

Even if you say that, you still have to go to school tomorrow, right?

"How could I possibly take you tomorrow?"

Makoto Haramura, his eyelids drooping, looked at the blonde loli in his arms and muttered a helpless complaint.

He has indeed been away from this world for a very long time.

But that doesn't mean he's completely lost his sense of time in this world. If he remembered correctly, today is Thursday, and tomorrow should be Friday.

This little girl should definitely go to school tomorrow.

"But they want to go, they want to go..."

"My sister is always very busy with work."

“If I go with Komaba-nii, I’ll stand out.”

Fremia's demeanor visibly somber.

Freya, the youngest member, is indeed the darling of the "Leo" group. Due to the strict rules set by Makoto Haramura, the members of "Leo" are all young people who look fierce but are actually very nice.

In such a group, the appearance of such a small child makes everyone dote on Fremia.

However, she was closest to two men: Makoto Haramura and Toshitoku Komaba.

She's fine talking and flirting with the older women in the group, but she doesn't really want to go out with them.

"Then let's wait until the holidays."

"I'll take you out to play during the holidays."

Makoto Haramura gently patted Fremia's head again.

Ever since he took Freya in, he has treated her like his own child.

After all, it's hard not to feel affection for a sensible and adorable cheerful person who has joined a group that's always fighting and killing.

"Yeah, that's great."

Fremia was so happy that she even jumped off Haramura Makoto's lap.

"Alright, it's getting late, the kids should get some rest."
