In this crossover anime, I fight against the supernatural in my everyday world.

She was the first patient Ye Xing encountered who was confirmed to have puberty syndrome.

According to Rio Futaba's theory, puberty syndrome is caused by the entanglement effect of quantum mechanics.

But in Night Star's view...

This is a supernatural event.

Furthermore, judging from Mai Sakurajima's behavior, her puberty syndrome is a recent development.

So...

Is there any connection between the phenomenon of adolescent syndrome and the "gate" incident that has appeared in Kyoto?

Ye Xing was very curious about the truth behind this.

"Phew, it's so hot!"

Rio Futaba prepared another bowl of instant noodles, placed it on the table, and raised her hand to touch her two ears, like a cat that had been scalded while stealing food.

Immediately afterwards, she took off her glasses, which were already fogged up by the steam, and pushed her long gray hair, which was draped over her shoulders, back.

"What happened today."

Rio Futaba pursed her lips and whispered.

"Thank you."

Ye Xing knew what she was talking about, of course, and wouldn't pretend to be stupid. There was no need to pretend to be stupid. He just waved his hand and said.

"It was nothing, not worth mentioning. Besides, I really enjoyed it."

"Have you considered getting yourself checked for violent tendencies?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I have no violent tendencies."

Rio Futaba frowned slightly, wondering how someone without violent tendencies could use such force in a conflict with students.

Night Star seemed to sense her confusion, shrugged, and said casually.

"My standards for doing things are actually very simple."

"If someone does something that deserves punishment, then give them the punishment they deserve. The pain they suffer does not come from me, but from the mistakes they made. Pain is the best way to correct mistakes."

Rio Futaba pursed her lips, unsure how to respond to those words.

She felt something was off.

But I can't quite put my finger on it; it's just that something doesn't feel right.

punish?

pain?

Correct the mistake.

That's so cringeworthy.

but...

A student who enjoys privileges in the eyes of the school and can go unpunished as long as he doesn't do anything too outrageous, saying such things, is no longer a childish teenager.

Furthermore, Rio Futaba vaguely felt that Yohoshi's words referred to more than just the fight that happened in the corridor today.

There are also some things that I don't understand.

"According to you..."

Rio Futaba frowned slightly and asked softly.

Do you believe that what you are doing is right?

“I did not say that.”

Ye Xing still wore that nonchalant smile, shrugging his shoulders.

"I don't care whether what I do is right or wrong. Like I said, I think it's right, and I can do it, so I do it."

Immediately afterwards, Ye Xing blew on a mouthful of instant noodles and slowly began to speak.

"What I pursue is complete freedom, unbound by anyone or anything."

.......

After finishing his instant noodles, Ye Xing left.

While feeling relieved, Rio Futaba also felt a strange sense of loss.

Together...

Is he really just here to freeload?

How poor are they that they have to mooch a bowl of instant noodles?

Judging from Ye Xing's clothes and appearance, it's unlikely, isn't it?

"Wait a minute, something's not right..."

Rio Futaba had only glanced casually at the table when she saw the empty instant noodle bowl on it, but she was stunned.

Why are there three empty bowls?

I only made two bowls...

Wait a moment.

When I took them out myself, it seemed like I took out two bowls the first time.

Why did you feel like there was only one bowl after that?

"Mai Sakurajima?"

Rio Futaba murmured the name, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Of course, she didn't remember this senior student.

However, she remembered that Yohoshi had mentioned Mai Sakurajima.

Rio Futaba pulled a notebook from her bosom and opened it. Inside were records of her and Yohoshi's usual conversations, which she considered to be the ramblings of Yohoshi, a person with delusions of grandeur.

"The world can only be discovered through cognition..."

"The ability to change oneself through cognition."

"Schrödinger's cat: its form cannot be determined before observation, creating a contradiction..."

Rio Futaba muttered to herself as she took out a ballpoint pen and wrote down various ambiguous sentences and words in her notebook that only she could connect to help her think.

"Yexing, from any angle, you don't fit the characteristics of a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) patient."

"The world he envisions is also different from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)."

Based on the information collected during this period, Rio Futaba discovered that the world depicted by Yohoshi has a fundamental, even contradictory, difference from the world depicted by most chuunibyou patients.

In the imagination of those suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

In that so-called "real" world, there is no confusion; all the appearance of fantasy points to the patient's deepest desire.

Whether it's a sense of belonging, self-satisfaction, or escaping a predicament.

In short, all the fantasies of that world are derived from this point.

The world constructed by Night Star lacks a clear "goal," and most importantly...

As the builders of the world, we should not create any unknowns in the process of building it.

After all, it is a virtual world constructed based on "known" information.

Rio Futaba wrote for almost half an hour before finally putting down her pen.

Her thoughts were a jumbled mess. She felt she was just a hair's breadth away from uncovering the truth, but she was powerless to do so.

Unwittingly, Rio Futaba caught sight of the three empty bowls on the table again out of the corner of her eye.

The name Mai Sakurajima kept replaying in her mind.

Rio Futaba's pupils dilated slightly as a conjecture arose in her mind, and she murmured to herself.

"Cognition...is the reason we can observe, could it be...that's how it works?"

Rio Futaba is a true genius.

The name Sakurajima Mai, the sudden appearance of a third instant noodle bowl, the discrepancy between myself and reality, and a somewhat jarring perception.

These three pieces of information have led her to almost deduce the truth about Mai Sakurajima and the entire world.

Rio Futaba, the delinquent girl in Class 063, faces the truth.

Meanwhile, after leaving Rio Futaba's apartment, Mai Sakurajima stopped in her tracks.

The evening breeze made her feel a little chilly. She pulled her collar tighter, hid the lower half of her face under the collar of her coat, and looked at Ye Xing with a slightly complicated expression.

"You... seem a little different from normal people."

Ye Xing was startled upon hearing this.

"Wow, good eye. You've finally figured out that I'm the chosen one of this world, possessing untamed talent?"

Mai Sakurajima: "...That's not what I meant."

"Since you know I used to be an idol, why did you react like this when you saw me... it's hard to describe."

Mai Sakurajima didn't know what to say.

I feel like Ye Xing's reaction to seeing me was a little too normal.

As a former national idol actress, Mai Sakurajima has become accustomed to the atmosphere where she is the center of attention and discussion wherever she goes.

Suddenly, someone showed up with a normal reaction.

That seems abnormal.

"A former national idol actor, is that impressive?"

Before Mai Sakurajima could answer, Yohoshi began to speak on her own.

"Oh, it seems you're actually quite capable."
