Across countless worlds: Yearning to become a giant of light.

Chapter 95 Believers in 'God' vs. Believers in 'Angels'
Meanwhile, just as Camilla was confirming that Yuzare of this era was indeed the middleman, Chen Lin stopped at the door of Rikka Takarada's house, unable to lift his hand to open the door.

What, what happened...?

The doorknob (card set) is getting further and further away from me!
The sense of crisis emanating from the door before him was more terrifying and horrifying than a billion serial killers!
"Gu..."

Chen Lin swallowed.

He eventually pushed open the door and found that Rikka Takarada hadn't come to block the door, but was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

If it were just that, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the problem is that the TV was showing a report about [the Undying Monster (Silizan) VS the Undying Giant (Chaos)], and it kept repeating the scene of him grabbing Silizan and self-destructing.

This is embarrassing...

"He's back."

At this moment, Rikka Takarada slowly turned her head and stared at Chen Lin, who was standing like a lackey in the entrance hall.

"You've worked hard this time too."

Chen Lin was a little confused when he heard this.

Why didn't Rikka lose her temper?

But upon closer inspection, Rikka Takarada's somewhat listless eyes and suppressed emotional state clearly indicated that she was extremely angry!
“Rikka…”

Chen Lin instinctively wanted to explain, but Liu Hua interrupted him first.

"sit down."

Rikka pointed to the sofa next to her.

Chen Lin obediently sat down on the sofa that Liu Hua was pointing to.

Well……

Why does it feel like I've been caught cheating?

"what is that?"

After a moment of silence, Rikka Takarada took a deep breath, pointed at the 'Ultra Bomb' footage on the television report, and stared intently at Chen Lin, asking as if she would immediately explode if he showed the slightest bit of guilt or tried to look away.

In a typical Japanese light novel, the male protagonist would definitely look away, then lie or evade the question, and the female protagonist would fly into a rage because of his evasive attitude.

But Chen Lin isn't a typical Japanese male protagonist. When he decided to use the [Ultra Bomb], he was already mentally prepared. It's just that dealing with his female friend (Takarada Rikka) might be a bit troublesome...maybe?
"That's the 'Ultra Bomb,' a skill that can only be used as a last resort."

Chen Lin answered Takarada Rikka honestly.

"Ultraman... bomb..."

Upon hearing this, Rikka lowered her head and pondered for a moment.

"Is it for self-destruction?"

"Yes, but my body is a bit special. After using the Ultra Bomb, it doesn't just explode and disappear like a pop-up cannon."

"What a strange metaphor!"

Rikka Takarada muttered a weak complaint, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aren't you angry anymore?"

Chen Lin asked in a low voice.

"I guess so... but if you had lied or changed the subject just now... I would have really gotten angry."

As she spoke, Rikka Takarada quietly put away what she was holding.

With Chen Lin's keen eyesight, he could naturally see what the other party had put away. Then he saw the marks on Rikka Takarada's palm from tightly squeezing the Ultra Star, which meant she had been squeezing it for a long time.

'You didn't say it out loud, but you're probably terribly worried inside.'

Chen Lin felt very uncomfortable.

Before he transmigrated, he had criticized some male protagonists in anime, completely unaware that his actions had hurt those who truly cared about him. Now, he was being brutally betrayed.

While the 'Ultra Bomb' is effective, its terrifying appearance has frightened many people, which explains why Daigo was so agitated afterward, telling himself never to use such a dangerous move again.

"It must hurt a lot..." Under Rikka Takarada's panicked gaze, as if she had been electrocuted, Chen Lin took her right hand and opened his palm where he had pinched her.

"No, no."

This is a lie, but not entirely.

I didn't feel any pain when I was gripping Ultra Star tightly, but now that I've relaxed, I'm experiencing a stinging sensation in my palm.

"You've already pinched until you're bleeding, and you still say you haven't... Just bear with it."

As Chen Lin spoke, a warm light bloomed in Liu Hua's palm, illuminating their faces.

Rikka Takarada's eyes reflected Chen Lin's focused expression, a shy blush creeping onto her face, whether from the itching during recovery or something else...

…………

Fortunately, the interpersonal turmoil caused by the 'Ultra Bomb' incident came to an end. Afterwards, Rikka Takarada did not order Chen Lin not to use the 'Ultra Bomb' like Daigo did.

Even if she hadn't said anything, Chen Lin wouldn't use such a highly dangerous skill so casually now.

"Hey~ Rikka, have you heard?"

On that very day, Rikka Takarada's best friends, Namiko and Ren, came to her in a mysterious manner.

"What did you hear?"

Rikka Takarada looked completely bewildered.

She's now completely preoccupied with that day, the dreamlike image of Chen Lin lifting her hand to treat her, and she even finds herself daydreaming during class from time to time.

"Of course it's that incident a few days ago, when the school's Supernatural Exploration Club and Faith Angel Club got into a fight... It's true what they say, once you have a man, you forget about your classmates."

"You haven't been paying enough attention to school lately, Rikka~ It's true what they say, having a boyfriend is just like... sigh~!"

The two best friends chatted back and forth, but surprisingly, Rikka didn't react with anger this time, nor did she give a direct response.

Perhaps because the topic was so interesting, the two best friends didn't notice the change in Rikka Takarada's attitude, and instead started talking about the club fights at school.

Originally, this was an ordinary incident, just a conflict between a group of students, but things became strange with the involvement of TPC.

First is the Supernatural Exploration Club. This club actually existed a long time ago. Before the appearance of monsters and giants, it was basically a place where a bunch of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) people acted crazy.

But since the frequent appearances of monsters around the world, as well as aliens and various supernatural phenomena, the number of members in this group has been increasing, and the core members are no longer the group of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) patients they were at the beginning.

It's said that the new minister's grandfather's friend is a professor at Miskatonic University in the United States, and the second-in-command's ancestor was an archaeologist. As a result, the club is always researching mysterious things and is almost turning into a black magic club.

This caused great dissatisfaction from the neighboring Faith Angels Club. This club was newly established, and its members were mostly students who were socially awkward, not good at speaking, and had experienced supernatural events and were living in constant fear.

It's perfectly reasonable to seek solace in a faith, but unfortunately, these guys who pray every day for psychological comfort are right next door to a group of 'wizards' who dabble in mysticism.

That's why it exploded.

The head of the Faith Angels Society came directly to our door, holding an angel doll, and said that the people of the Supernatural Exploration Society were all sinners who would be purified by the flames of angels.

Then the conflict escalated, and during the exchange of insults, the angel held by the head of the Faith Angels Club was suddenly covered with a piece of paper with a strange pattern by the head of the Supernatural Exploration Club...

Immediately afterwards, the minister of the Faith Angels Society began foaming at the mouth. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought that someone from the Supernatural Exploration Society had poisoned him. Seeing this, the two sides started fighting each other.

During this time, the members of the Supernatural Exploration Club took out a crowbar...

I don't know how they got into the school.

Anyway, they beat the members of the Faith Angels Society so badly that they were forced to retreat, and then everyone was taken away by the police who arrived later.

Two days later, instead of a notification from the police, members of TPC's Victory Team arrived.

The classrooms used by the two clubs have now been sealed off.

"Is that so..."

After hearing the whole story, Rikka Takarada looked surprised and subconsciously squeezed the Ultra Star in her arms.

Perhaps Chen Lin knows something.
