The two turned and went into the living room.

Kasumigaoka Utaha poured two cups of hot tea, specially for refreshing the mind.

"Thank you."

Rikka Takanashi took the teacup and suddenly remembered something.

"Speaking of which, isn't the senior the author of 'Love Metronome', Shizuko Kasumi?"

"Yes, that's right. Did your junior tell you?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes changed slightly.

"Ah."

"So, junior, what do you want to say?"

"Why did you design the plot that way for that character who was based on a sage?"

"Allah......"

A teasing sound escaped from her red lips.

"Junior, you saw the ending, could it be that you're also a fan of mine?"

"no!"

"Why would someone ask that, Takanashi, do you like your junior?"

"Don't change the subject!"

The girl blushed slightly and emphasized.

"To slander the sacred image of sages and to indulge in unrealistic fantasies..."

"Hmph, write whatever you want. My junior has no objections, so why should you care? You're not my junior's girlfriend."

Kasumigaoka Utaha interrupted her accusation with a slightly smug smile.

"this......."

Rikka Takanashi was speechless after being retorted, and quickly took a sip of tea to calm herself down.

"I won't hold this against you. Although you wrote very well, don't write like that again... This is a warning from the Evil King's True Eye."

Is this a declaration of sovereignty?

Kasumigaoka Utaha pursed her lips, secretly amused.

Considering that he needed their help, he backed down slightly and stopped teasing them.

"Ha~"

She suddenly yawned and covered her mouth with one hand.

"I felt a bit tired as soon as I got home."

Upon hearing this, Rikka Takanashi realized she was a bit carried away, so she changed the subject.

"Let's get back to the main topic... I've got some ideas about your situation."

"really?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was greatly encouraged.

"There must be something absorbing the life force of the people around us. If I'm not mistaken, it should be in that direction."

As she spoke, Rikka pointed out the window.

Looking out the window at the same scenery as always, Kasumigaoka Utaha fell into deep thought.

Is it foolish to place your hopes on a bunch of immature people?

Volume 4: Chapter 23 Refreshing Understanding

To verify her idea, Rikka Takanashi decided to follow her intuition and go in that direction to investigate.

"Are you sure you want to come with me? If anything goes wrong, I can't guarantee I can protect you."

As she walked down the stairs, Rikka Takanashi glanced at the people around her.

"Aren't you the second strongest Evil King True Eye? Can't you even protect an ordinary person?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha followed her train of thought.

Actually, she just wanted to confirm the truth.

"As you wish."

Rokka and the little birds didn't seem to care.

Just as they turned the corner, a family of three walked towards them, all of them acting strangely, especially the child, who suddenly staggered and fell to the ground.

"Jia'er, what's wrong!?"

"Call an ambulance!"

The two parents were extremely worried; one checked the situation, and the other took out his phone.

"let me see."

Just then, a young girl walked towards them and spoke up.

"What did you say?"

"Little sister, stop fooling around."

The two parents were naturally not going to easily believe what the unfamiliar child said; they were both surprised and wary.

"no solution anymore."

Rikka Takanashi sighed, her exposed eye slowly turning to reveal a three-tomoe shape, and then she walked over to check on the child's condition.

The two parents froze, as if they had been frozen in place, and their eyes lost their light.

This is, of course, the hypnosis technique of the Sharingan.

"This is......"

Behind her, Kasumigaoka Utaha noticed this scene and was utterly stunned.

After a brief mental blank, she touched the mature woman's body and, finding that the woman didn't react at all, not even blinking, she finally admitted that what was happening before her eyes was a so-called supernatural event.

"Takashi...Takashi, what's wrong with them?"

Approaching the girl, he bent down slightly, his expression still somewhat unnatural.

Even though she was an imaginative light novelist, she felt very uncomfortable with this situation.

"It's nothing, I just used the Evil King's True Eye to hypnotize them, so they wouldn't bother me."

Rikka continued to examine the situation with her head down, and quickly ascertained the facts.

"And what about this little girl?"

"It's similar to your situation, except that she's too weak, so her condition is worse."

"What should I do?"

"It's alright, I'll just transfer some spiritual energy to her, enough to sustain her for a while, which will be sufficient for me to resolve the issue."

As the girl infused her spiritual power, the little girl's complexion gradually returned to normal.

"Mother......"

"dad......"

When the little girl opened her eyes again, she saw her parents who seemed a bit distracted and quickly called out to them twice.

"What's wrong with me?"

The parents blinked, snapped out of their daze, and looked puzzled, but couldn't find anything strange, so they simply put it out of their minds.

.......

At this moment, Rikka Takanashi and Utaha Kasumigaoka had crossed another street.

"So, you're all superhumans then?"

"Superpowered beings? No, we are all powerful beings from another world, especially sages, who are unimaginable even among the myriad worlds."

"Ha, it seems everyone in Shuchiin has been fooled by you."

"It's simply because human beings have too little knowledge."

Kasumigaoka Utaha bit her lip, finding it hard to contain herself.

She was certain that while supernatural powers did exist, this guy was just spouting nonsense. In her experience, if he had possessed the abilities he has now, he definitely wouldn't have acted that way.

Only the junior was so capable from beginning to end, which allowed him to ascend to the position of 'King of Shuchiin'.

However, regardless of the circumstances, now that she knows the truth, as an ordinary person, she naturally loses a lot of confidence in front of these people and has to bow down.

"Everyone looks sickly, and the range of symptoms is really wide... Maybe the Supernatural Management Bureau has already intervened."

As Rikka Takanashi walked by, she scanned the faces of passersby, and found that most of them were in very poor condition.

For healthy people, it's just a bit of exhaustion, but for someone with a serious illness, it's like the last straw that broke the camel's back, leading to a tragedy.

Such a large-scale incident must be addressed as a priority, even if there is a shortage of manpower in the organization.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was already having second thoughts at this point.

After all, in such a supernatural event, it would definitely be a hindrance for an ordinary person like her to get involved.

However, because of the boastful words I had made before, I felt embarrassed to say them aloud.

"Pause."

The girl in front suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong."

Kasumigaoka Utaha asked.

"After arriving here, the feeling I had before suddenly became much stronger."

As Rikka Takanashi answered, she activated her Spirit Eyes once more.

At this moment, she finally caught a trace of demonic energy, which was filling the surroundings and spreading outwards.

"You should go back first, otherwise you'll probably be heading to the battlefield."

"Eh!?"

"You're not really planning to fight alongside me, are you?"

"Okay... I got it."

Faced with such contemptuous words, Kasumigaoka Utaha finally lacked the confidence to retort and could only let the girl leave before her eyes and disappear at the end of the slope.

"What should we do? Should we go back? Or...?"

Her eyes flickered, her expression shifting between light and dark.

"Forget it, I should tell my junior about what happened here. It would be troublesome if something happened, after all, she is just a child."

Worried that the girl wouldn't be able to handle it, she took out her phone, ready to tell the man.

"Do you still treat people like children now, Kasumigaoka-senpai?"

A familiar voice came from behind.

"Junior..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha turned her head to look.

The boy walked slowly with his hands in his pockets.

Her expression hardened, but her brows quickly relaxed as she said, "Junior, you haven't been spying on us the whole time, have you?! You were supposed to be the one helping me, and you were just deliberately trying to make a fool of me..."

Because of his impatience and grievances, Kasumigaoka spoke incoherently, just like a girlfriend who was deeply resentful after being teased.

"Senior, you're overthinking it. I just intend to give Rikka a suitable experience."

Izumi Hasegawa, of course, immediately denied it.
