The all-powerful middle schooler

Under the gaze of those deep, ocean-like eyes, the girl couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart.

The latter smiled slightly, his mouth slightly open, as if he had said something.

It looks like something...

"Is xx nice?"

She snapped out of her daze and began analyzing the text through lip reading.

"Sawamura-san, and Kiri-tong-san, please give me some face and stop arguing. Let's all introduce ourselves first."

Seeing that they were getting tired of arguing, Makishima Saori stopped them from continuing their verbal battle.

"Alright, I'll give the administrator some face."

"My time is very precious, and I really shouldn't waste it on this guy."

After the two stopped their efforts, Makishima Saori organized a meeting between them.

"I'm Hasegawa, this guy's childhood friend. I'm here to act as his 'bodyguard' this time. After all, there are risks in meeting people online, and I think everyone can understand that."

After Izumi Hasegawa took her seat, she spoke.

“Of course, Ms. Hasegawa, ah... you can just call me Saori.”

Saori Makishima affirmed.

"I am Xiaotongtong..."

Call me Black Cat.

Kirino Kousaka and Ruri Gokou also gave him a brief self-introduction.

Next, they had a simple lunch there before talking about topics related to Xia Comic.

For example, what kind of doujinshi you receive, your expectations for a newly purchased work, or the comics or novels you're currently reading.

When these topics came up, the girls, being homebodies, were naturally full of enthusiasm and quickly struck up a conversation. Because they had chatted online many times, they quickly became familiar with each other and the topic immediately became a hot topic.

But the good times didn’t last long.

When they disagree, they inevitably have a heated argument, which is quite a spectacle.

"Alright, that concludes our discussion. Now it's time to move on to another location!"

Saori Makishima presided over the event's proceedings.

Next, I went to some specialty stores to buy the things I wanted.

Just as they entered the shop and began to select their items...

"Hasegawa, right?"

Suddenly, Ruri Gokou approached him.

"What's wrong, Miss Black Cat?"

"Did you say anything to me before? Could you tell me the specifics?"

The girl's gaze sharpened.

Hasegawa Izumi's eyes were sharp, and a smile played on her lips as she said, "Then I'll repeat it..."

"Young lady, you have a good idea."

The Dark Game that began at number 37!

'Brilliant, a good inspiration?'

These words left Gokou Ruri momentarily speechless, but she quickly recovered and her expression returned to normal.

"You calmed down so quickly; it seems your mental cultivation is quite effective."

Hanase Izumi was slightly surprised.

of course.

Since she's a girl with eccentric personality traits, the prerequisite is to believe in her own fantasies; only then can she remain invincible.

"I see, you're from 'this side' too, that's something I didn't expect..."

Ruri Gokou's smile took on a wicked edge as she covered half her face with her right hand, striking what she considered a cool, chuunibyou (delusional) pose.

"I am the Fallen Saint Black Cat of Chiba! Who are you? State your name! And what is your purpose in seeking me out today?"

She then launched into a scathing interrogation.

"Oh?"

Hasegawa let out a soft exclamation, scrutinized the area with a somewhat puzzled look.

For some inexplicable reason, under this gaze, Gokou Ruri felt a pang of guilt, but her pride as a 'strong person' made her try her best to keep up and not show any weakness.

"I initially thought you were one of the lucky ones among the humans of this world, given how insignificant your spiritual power seemed. I didn't expect you to be a powerful being from another dimension. Is it because your power system is not adapted to this?"

Then I heard the other person mutter something to themselves.

What kind of setting is this?

I feel like I don't understand some of it.

Gokyou Ruri thought to herself.

However, if someone with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) can't even handle this kind of situation, then they're really underestimating themselves!

"Hmph, so you're also a powerful figure from another world? By the way, you haven't introduced yourself yet."

Her gaze sharpened.

“In the past, some called me ‘the seeker of the truth,’ and now more people call me ‘the sage.’ Although I think this title is not enough to describe my existence, it is just a designation, so I don’t care.”

Hanase Izumi spoke in a leisurely tone.

"A sage? So you're an ancient wise man. You shouldn't have any hatred for us fallen angels, right?"

"In terms of stance, I should be considered chaotic neutral? But I act according to my own whims, and neither good nor evil matters to me, so I wouldn't care even if someone is a fallen one."

Just as the two were having a pleasant conversation, other friends suddenly noticed them.

"Oh my, Kuroneko, you seem to get along really well with him? You're not thinking of stealing him away from Sawamura, are you?"

The first sentence was spoken from a distance, while the second sentence was whispered in Ruri Gokou's ear.

Unexpectedly, she was met with a disdainful look from the girl.

"You have no idea what kind of being you're facing."

With her own kind around, Gokou Ruri deliberately tried to show off, her eyes gleaming sharply.

A question mark appeared above Kirino Kousaka's head.

"Why are you suddenly having another episode? Talk to me normally, you delusional girl."

She immediately switched to a sarcastic attitude.

“Foolish humans, indeed, cannot be taught with words. They are hopeless and pitiful.”

"Are you stupid? Aren't you ashamed to live in this world?"

The two started arguing again for no apparent reason.

It seems our conversation is coming to an end.

Hasegawa Izumi watched silently, when suddenly she felt a strong gaze coming from not far away.

There, Eriri, holding a figurine, was looking over with disdain.

Before you know it, you're chatting away with other girls!

This isn't just good luck with women; it's clearly a case of flirting with everyone!

The girl thought angrily to herself.

After buying their items, everyone left the store.

"Speaking of which, this store has a counter for Ms. Kashiwagi Eri, right? Why didn't Mr. Sawamura buy anything?"

Saori Makishima suddenly asked.

This question arose because everyone in the group considers Eriri to be a huge fan of Eri Kashiwagi.

Eriri blushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

She is Kashiwagi Eri, so of course there's no need to buy her!

Of course, she wouldn't dare to publicly acknowledge her fans in front of others; that would be too reckless.

"Actually, I've already bought them all."

She had no choice but to bite the bullet and say it.

"Did you buy the new book that just came out today? You came empty-handed, so you obviously didn't buy it, right? You fake fan!"

Kirino Kousaka noticed this loophole and pointed at her, questioning her.

"Yes, we did buy some! But Izumi and I left them with someone else for the time being... Oh, right, I suggest you guys buy a copy too! Kashiwagi Eri's new work is a whole new level compared to her previous works. If you don't read it, you'll undoubtedly be living a relatively unsuccessful life in the sewers!"

In her panic, Eriri used her acting talent as the daughter of a diplomat to adopt the perspective of a fan and enthusiastically recommended the product.

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Kirino Kousaka looked doubtful.

"What's so great about mere doujinshi and comics?"

Ruri Gokou said dismissively.

"If it's true, then I can go and buy it now."

Makishima Saori picked up the handbag, appearing as if she was willing to believe it.

"They were all sold out this morning, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to buy them."

Eriri immediately gave a very kind reminder.

This guy's face changes way way too fast!

The three of them thought the same thing at the same time.

Around three or four in the afternoon, Izumi Hasegawa and Eriri said goodbye to the others and made a promise to go to Summer Comic together again in the next two days.

"You're back so soon? Why don't you go out and explore more? There are so many fun things to do around here."

Sawamura Sayuri looked at the two people who appeared in front of her, and her disappointment was clearly visible.

"Gasang, don't worry about things that don't concern you."

Eriri clenched her fists, looking ready to pounce.

Sawamura Sayuri completely ignored it, and instead said aggrievedly, "Who said this has nothing to do with me? Eriri is my lovely daughter, and besides, I am now also the guardian of Izumi and Kobato."

In a battle of eloquence, Eriri is no match at all.

"Alright, alright, we're grabbing our things and leaving. Get out of my way!"

Eriri impatiently pushed her mother away, grabbed her things, and ran off without looking back.

"This one is from Quan."

Eriri handed over a bag.

"Ah."

He took it without hesitation.

On their way home, the two started chatting.

"What exactly did you and that black cat talk about so mysteriously before?!"

"It's nothing. I initially thought he was a talented person, but it turns out he's actually a kindred spirit, so we chatted a bit more."

"Oh, so it's just a discussion about the symptoms between people with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

"I'm not some kind of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) person; that's just a misunderstanding people have about me."

"Indeed, 'chuunibyou' is not enough to describe Izumi. You are the chuunibyou of chuunibyou, you can be called the chuunibyou prince."
