Anime Group Chat: The Tree of Life Contract Heroine of All Worlds

"Um...I'm sorry."

There's no need to apologize; it's just that you're excellent enough.

Although she had heard enough compliments and praises, she was surprisingly pleased to hear these words from Rosen.

"I don't know if you've noticed, but the time when you started to go unnoticed by others was exactly after you finished all your entertainment activities."

"That seems to be the case."

Although he announced his retirement several years ago, the contracts he signed with film and television companies before his retirement are still in effect.

So she only completely stopped filming a few months ago.

"But what does that have to do with me being unable to see?"

"At that time, you must have had a strong desire not to be noticed by others, and no one knew what you were thinking."

Mai Sakurajima fell into deep thought, and upon careful consideration, she realized it was indeed true.

And at this time.

The sound came from the rooftop entrance again.

Just then, Yotsuya Miko, who had left earlier, came running over. Her school uniform was a little disheveled, and she was panting, but her face showed an excited expression.

"Lord Rosen! I...I did it!"

Chapter Twenty-Three: I Was Here First

The excited girl ran up to Rosen quickly, her face covered in sweat, which proved that she had just been through a fierce battle.

"I...I did it!"

Rosen did not answer immediately, but looked at Yotsuya Miko and reached out to touch the girl's head.

The girl didn't flinch. When his palm touched the top of her head, a faint warmth spread through her. Yotsuya Miko squinted at the young man in front of her, a slight change in her emotions. Then she lowered her head slightly, as if to make it easier for him to touch her.

Rosen looked at the obedient Yotsuya Miko and asked with a light laugh, "So you encountered the undead as soon as you went down?"

"Actually, I didn't find it at first either, so... to be honest, I... went to the restroom, and as soon as I opened the door, I made eye contact with a female ghost. I was so scared that my heart almost stopped, but luckily I reacted in time and dealt with the ghost."

"By the way, Lord Rosen, what happened when a light gun suddenly appeared in my hand?"

After she finished speaking, particles of light quickly formed in Yotsuya Miko's palm, which then became an unstable spear shape.

"This is your basic ability. You were in too much of a hurry and forgot to tell you."

Rosen said.

This doesn't really count as a special ability.

It was simply releasing the divine power within his body.

Even so, it can be said to be the most effective weapon against ordinary undead.

"That gun is amazing! It took down that undead the moment it touched her! But she seemed to say something before she died, something about Hanako..."

Hanako-san in the toilet.

If that's the case, then the Hanako that Yotsuya Miko just killed is less a ghost and more a kind of urban legend.

However, after being influenced by a certain anime series, Lawson's first thought was a storyline called "Stubborn Exorcist x Hanako".

"How do you feel now?"

"I feel like even if there were a hundred undead, I could kill them all!"

Releasing her grip, Yotsuya Miko looked up excitedly, rubbing her hands together as if she wanted to rush down and fight the undead right away.

It's not surprising that she went from being a well-behaved and quiet pretty girl to a battle maniac.

After all, anyone who has been terrified by the dead for months, living in constant fear, would want to take revenge if they suddenly gained power.

It's like how people tend to engage in revenge spending once they have money.

"Lord Rosen, I'll go down again!"

Yotsuya Miko couldn't wait to leave.

She's going to slaughter the entire school today!

"Wait a minute, I have a question for you."

Rosen chuckled helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko immediately stopped.

"what's up?"

Did you see anyone else on the rooftop?

"Others? Isn't this just Lord Rosen and me? We can't even see a single undead."

Yotsuya Miko even took a walk around. The rooftop of the teaching building could be seen at a glance, but it was blocked by a wall in the middle, and the only entrance and exit was the stairs.

"Can't you see it at all? Feel it more carefully, for example, right next to me."

Rosen said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko squinted and stared intently at Lawson, even clearly seeing the few ants on the ground.

But all I could see was a wisp of air.

Even her pupils glowed with a faint red light, clearly indicating that her psychic vision had been activated.

But it remains the same.

"I still can't see it, but... I think I can sense something beside you? Could it be some kind of special spirit?"

Thinking of this, Yotsuya Miko immediately raised her gun, aiming at what she saw as thin air, but in reality, stood Sakurajima Mai.

The girl's outburst startled Mai Sakurajima.

Instinctively, he hid behind Rosen.

What is this girl trying to do?!

Although no one else can see her, it doesn't mean she's really invisible. Mai Sakurajima has no intention of testing whether she can be hit by a truck.

However, it is highly likely that it will work.

Moreover, even if he died, in the eyes of the truck driver, it would probably be no different than running over a speed bump or having something stuck to the wheel.

"That thing seems to have moved behind you?!"

Yotsuya Miko said.

"It's not that thing, it's a person."

Rosen thought for a moment, then raised his hand and waved at Mai Sakurajima.

The girl didn't feel anything, but Yotsuya Miko took two steps back as if she had seen a ghost.

Moreover, when she saw what was behind Rosen, Yotsuya Miko's pupils suddenly contracted, and a complicated expression appeared on her face.

Why... is there a bunny girl on the rooftop?

And it was with Lord Rosen.

She was here first!

Chapter Twenty-Four: A Call from the Center of the World

Those black stockings, those high heels, and those alluring curves.

So, Lord Rosen likes this type?

Yotsuya Miko ultimately didn't voice her true feelings, and decided that she should get more involved in ACG culture in the future, and maybe buy a cosplay outfit for Lord Lawson to see and add to the fun.

"Can you see it now?"

"I saw it."

The girl nodded.

If you can't see those huge black stockings and long legs, you must be a VIP member at an ophthalmology hospital.

However, as the girl looked at it, she felt that the bunny girl looked strangely familiar.

"Huh? You...you're not that...that guy?"

Yotsuya Miko sighed several times, her mind in a Schrödinger's cat-like state where she was about to remember something, but couldn't quite place it.

"Mai Sakurajima."

"That's what the bunny girl said."

At the same time, he thought to himself, "If you don't know, don't pretend to know."

"Sakurajima Mai, right! She was a very famous actress on TV before, but she suddenly retired. It's such a pity."

Yotsuya Miko suddenly realized what she meant and looked at her with a surprised expression.

Perhaps because she hadn't been active for a long time, the girl thought it was normal that she didn't recognize her at first.

I remembered it completely as soon as the other person mentioned it.

She was somewhat excited, after all, could she really say that she still had Mai Sakurajima movie posters in her bedroom?

At the time, this star was incredibly popular across the country, starring in youth campus dramas and never taking suggestive photos. She always presented a pure and lovely image, attracting countless fans of the same age and gender.

When she learned of her retirement, Miko Yotsuya was heartbroken for quite a while.

Why did you choose to retire?

"For some personal reasons."

Mai Sakurajima didn't want to discuss this issue too much.

Should I just admit that I was going through a rebellious phase back then?

And not to mention that I now have to bear the consequences of the mistakes I made when I was young.

"What a pity, I grew up watching your movies and TV series."

Yotsuya Miko sighed.

Upon hearing this, Mai Sakurajima immediately raised her eyebrows.

It seems you're not much younger than me?

However, she didn't say it directly.

"Speaking of which, what's going on here? Ms. Sakurajima Mai... why are you here with me? And... why are you dressed like this..."

If it were anyone else, Yotsuya Miko would simply cover her eyes and pretend she didn't see anything and slip away.

However, Rosen has become the person she cares about most.

While it might not be the kind of possessive, domineering desire to monopolize him, at least it's necessary to find out where Sakurajima Mai came from.

"Let her explain it herself."

Rosen shrugged.

Mai Sakurajima then briefly described her current situation.

After hearing this, Yotsuya Miko's eyes widened in astonishment: "There's such a thing? So, you retired back then because no one could see this reason?"

"no."

Sakurajima Mai shook her head.

At that time, she was at the height of her fame.

Mai Sakurajima blamed her mother for her sudden decision to retire.

Having debuted as a child star, she had more resources and money than her peers from a young age, while her mother quit her previous job to focus on being her personal agent.

When the roles of mother and agent overlap, it often feels suffocating for the child.
