The all-powerful middle schooler

It was only then that he noticed that Natsukawa Masaki's condition was worse than he had anticipated.

Her long, loose silver hair danced in the seawater like seaweed. The girl's eyes were tightly closed, her face was very pale, and the color of her lips was gradually darkening.

This is a state of near death.

There's no other way.

His brows furrowed.

Emergency treatment must be given now; if she is taken to the shore for treatment, the girl's vital signs will likely disappear first.

He used both hands to pull the girl's body closer to him, while also leaning forward, pressing his lips to hers to deliver oxygen to her lungs.

That wasn't enough; he also transferred some spiritual energy that the girl could handle.

In the sea, fish swam by, staring blankly at the two kissing people, as if pondering what the humans were doing.

With the introduction of oxygen and the successful replenishment of mana, the girl's previously failing vital signs were finally maintained.

Izumi Hasegawa didn't seem to care at all and immediately resurfaced with the girl in his arms.

After all, this is nothing more than an unromantic artificial respiration.

"Sage!"

"Sage!"

"Is that guy still alive?"

"Brother!"

The girls were already waiting on the beach, and their expressions became even more excited when they saw him appear.

"Don't worry."

As Izumi Hasegawa answered, she carried the girl on her back and swam toward the beach.

After landing, he laid Natsukawa Masaki flat on the ground.

"Hey bro, should I give you CPR?"

Xiaojiu remembered the safety manual she had studied and asked a question.

"We already did it in the sea, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to hold on..."

Izumi Hasegawa was just giving a casual answer.

Unexpectedly, the other girls' expressions changed.

"Human, give him artificial respiration!"

"Isn't that just kissing?"

"The sage and the witch of greed actually did this kind of thing..."

They cupped their cheeks, each blushing with shyness.

Izumi Hasegawa didn't care about their condition. Instead, she raised her right hand and slapped Natsukawa Masaki's smooth belly. The combined stimulation of various acupoints made her feel the urge to vomit.

"Ahem...!"

Natsukawa Masaki finally reacted, her body's instincts were activated, she turned her head to the side and spat out mouthful after mouthful of seawater.

However, the girl was still unconscious and had not yet regained consciousness.

"It's okay now."

He checked on its condition, then picked it up again and placed it on the beach mat to rest.

"A newbie is a newbie after all. They don't even have this much sense of danger. They must have been living in a peaceful world for too long..."

He shook his head, looked back, and noticed that everyone's expressions were somewhat strange.

"What's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing..."

They all quickly waved their hands and shook their heads.

"That's it."

Hasegawa Izumi answered softly, then looked at her younger sister and said with a smile, "Kobato, it's time for you to learn to swim! You can't learn from Natsukawa."

"Uh... um."

Kobato initially wanted to refuse, but considering that she might encounter the same situation, she nodded in agreement.

So the brother and sister went to the sea.

The girls who remained by the parasol exchanged glances, and for some reason, felt an awkward atmosphere.

A few minutes later.

"It's just artificial respiration, not kissing, there's nothing to worry about."

Nishimura Tanyu tried to ease the awkwardness.

"That's right, it doesn't mean this guy is close to the Sage! No matter who it was, the Sage would have done the same thing in that situation!"

Sanae Dekomori also stated firmly.

"There's nothing surprising about this; it's just mutual help among organization members..."

Rikka Takanashi's expression remained as calm as ever, which was surprisingly composed.

"Dekomori, let's continue our campaign against the Kraken!"

She greeted him.

"Oh……"

Sanae Tokomori was taken aback.

After watching the two leave, Nissouya Mori Natsumi suddenly shifted her gaze, glanced back at the girl lying on the beach mat, and quickly looked away before joining the others.

"Is it true?"

"The minister and I... kissed?"

A few seconds later, Natsukawa Masuzu opened her eyes.

In fact, because of the protection of spiritual power, she had already woken up and heard the other people talking.

However, she was too embarrassed to say anything in that situation.

She was somewhat confused and incredulous. She touched the corner of her lips, her face turning flushed and hot as she imagined the scene in her mind.

"It's just lips touching lips! It's no big deal!"

The girl, who was against love, tried hard to stand firm in herself, but her wavering eyes still revealed how unsettled she was.

As dusk approached.

Surprisingly, no one mentioned CPR. Everyone took their things and returned to the Bird Swim's house, chatting and laughing.

"Rikka."

Suddenly, Shika appeared from the side, her wine-red eyes revealing a hint of pleading.

"Okay, I understand... I need to leave for a bit."

Rikka Takanashi understood what her older sister meant. After nodding in acknowledgment, she put down what she was holding, informed everyone, and then left with her sister.

The others didn't quite understand.

"Does the Sage know what's going on?"

Sanae Tokomori turned to ask.

"This is because……"

Izumi Hasegawa briefly recounted a story to everyone.

"So that's how it is, Death. Master was carrying such a heavy burden... I didn't even notice, Dekomori. What a dereliction of duty!"

"Sanae Tokomori said with tears streaming down her face."

So that's how it all started...

At this moment, Nibutani Morika and Natsukawa Masuzu finally gained a deeper understanding of Rikka, and a strange emotion welled up in their hearts.

"Kukuku... I believe she will definitely find the location of the invisible boundary line!"

Kobato didn't quite understand the true meaning behind the words, but she still offered her blessings.

"I'll be leaving for a while too, I'll be back before dinner..."

After speaking, Hasegawa Izumi glanced at the dim sky, recalled the feng shui he had observed earlier, and realized he still had some questions to resolve. So he left the group behind.

Of course, after leaving, he also explained the so-called feng shui to the girls, adding to their knowledge of occultism.

"Just there."

Izumi Hasegawa ran along the mountain path towards the highest point.

Within minutes, he reached the top of the mountain, where he had a panoramic view.

At this moment, he activated his Yin-Yang Eyes again to observe the feng shui of this area.

Under the spiritual vision, the colors of everything in the world were very different from before. The dim yellow street scene had disappeared completely, and only wisps of black gas were gushing out from the ground in all directions.

This scene can be described as quite bizarre.

If a normal person saw this, they would probably be terrified.

"This gathering of yin energy... and the hidden evil energy within it, this natural feng shui situation is truly terrible. It seems that the day of its explosion is not far off, and we need to make some preparations."

Hasegawa Izumi stood against the wind, her hands behind her back, already having made up her mind.

……

On the horizon, the evening glow gradually painted the earth.

Near the other side of the coast, there is a cemetery.

"Hiss..."

The sound of cicadas chirping incessantly filled my ears.

The two sisters from the Takanashi family arrived at a tombstone inscribed with "Tashiashi Family Grave".

"Rikka."

Shi Hua handed over the lit incense.

"Ah."

With a solemn expression and a hint of sadness in her eyes, Rikka Takanashi solemnly accepted the incense and then placed it in front of the tombstone.

Smoke rose into the air.

She closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and began to worship.

"Three years have passed..."

Shihua's mood also dropped.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting."

Rikka Kotori responded with a comment, without turning her head.

It's unclear whether she was speaking to her older sister or to her father.

In short, the fact that her younger sister could return here was already a great comfort to Toka.

Until night fell.

"We should head back."

Shihua reminded them that because the area was remote, there were no streetlights.

Rikka Takanashi slowly got up, followed her sister's steps, took a few steps, then paused and turned around reluctantly.

Suddenly, she thought of something, and spiritual energy gathered in her eyes, making them shine brightly.

However, she found nothing else in her field of vision, which only deepened her disappointment.

The two sisters returned home carrying offerings for the memorial service.
