Why is the Demon King like this?

A surge of spiritual energy stirred, causing Aokiji's hair to flutter.

Yuki became fully alert, her pupils shrinking to tiny dots.

There were rustling sounds coming from the cubicle, followed by heavy breathing.

"Click—"

The door latch opened, and Qing Guijie held his breath, ready to strike or make a strategic retreat at any moment.

Then, the door was suddenly pushed open.

With tears in her eyes, Shiraishi Chizuru suddenly rushed out of the third cubicle.

"asshole!"

Her slender, fair legs emerged from under her skirt and kicked forcefully towards Aokiji's groin.

"Um?!"

Keisuke Ao turned and grabbed Chizuru Shiraishi's calf. He would normally lift the attacker's leg, flip him over, and then kick or stomp at his head.

—But the problem is, the one who made the move was Chizuru Shiraishi.

What's that woman doing in the toilet?

Their thoughts raced, and the two awkwardly remained in that position. Facing the strange man whose face was completely covered, Shiraishi Chizuru instinctively wanted to scream.

What kind of bizarre situation is this? Why would something like this happen in a school, at this time, while I'm in the bathroom?!

And what kind of superhuman man would scare people in a place like this? Are you crazy?

Chizuru Shiraishi was almost scared to death by Keisuke Ao!

Before she could speak, Qing Guijie gently pulled her leg towards him, and covered the female doctor's mouth with his other hand.

He also nudged the door with his foot, closing it again.

Right now, here, the real danger isn't the female doctor, but Hanako, who's about to be summoned!

"Mmmmmm!"

Chizuru Shiraishi pressed down on the hem of her skirt, which had slipped down to her thighs, and tears finally welled up in her eyes.

The sight of pear blossoms in the rain evokes pity in anyone who sees them.

Unfortunately, Keisuke Ao was on guard against the surging spiritual energy around him and didn't even look at her face.

Aokiji released Shiraishi Chizuru's legs, allowing her to land on both feet so she wouldn't lose her balance and fall.

Then he slowly opened the female doctor's mouth.

"Don't make a sound," he whispered. "Hanako... is coming."

"choke?"

Chizuru Shiraishi suddenly realized that the bizarre events of the night were far from over... Hanako?

"Aoi Keisuke?!"

And she finally recognized the strange man's voice.

"Shh." Keisuke Ao shook his head, never expecting the evening to unfold like this.

If Chizuru Shiraishi hadn't been camped out in front of Hanako's house, he would have spotted her much earlier and chosen to wait.

Unfortunately, Sagittarius' lucky number today is 3.

How fucking lucky!

A loud crash suddenly came from the third cubicle, as if a heavy hammer had slammed into the door. A chill rushed into Qing Guijie's body from the foot he was using to brace himself against the door.

"You kicked the door?" Shiraishi Chizuru was so startled she almost threw herself into Ao Keisuke's arms, but although she hadn't, she was close.

"Obviously not."

Aokiji exhaled a breath of cold air and quickly pulled Shiraishi Chizuru towards the door.

"Meow--!"

But the next moment, Yuki immediately screamed.

In the bathroom, the swirling spiritual vortex underwent a new transformation, with an increasingly intense and profound spirituality seemingly pulling the two of them downwards.

It's like the filthy spring that drowned Hanako.

Accompanied by a strong stench and a feeling of suffocation, the two people and the cat really began to fall.

"Ah!" Chizuru Shiraishi screamed.

Keisuke Ao embraced Chizuru Shiraishi, maintaining his balance and keeping himself in a ready-to-strike position.

The black cat lay on his shoulder, allowing Qing Guijie to absorb its spirituality.

Qing Keisuke’s spirituality index: 15 → 60!

Although the standard for casting magic is 100, the amount of spirituality itself represents power, just as Yamazaki can also unleash extraordinary fighting spirit and power.

The difference lies simply in how this power is used!

A spiritual level of 60 is enough for Qing Guijie to break through this illusion!

A chilling wind howled from the bottom, whipping up the female doctor's long skirt. Then, a strange laugh came from below, the distorted sound waves making Shiraishi Chizuru tremble all over.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you out of here right now." Qing Guijie finally noticed her state and gently comforted her.

He reached out and flicked his wrist, revealing the sharp edge of the military knife through his fingers.

"Huh—?"

A female voice, not from Chizuru Shiraishi.

Then, the pitch-black night was torn open by the military knife, and the murky spirituality was clearly distinguished and dissected before Qing Guijie.

A mixture of fresh and foul winds blew together. Keisuke Ao sheathed his sword, reached out as if to grasp a strand of it, and instantly escaped the illusion.

"Whoosh—"

Amidst the howling sound, a mournful cry could be faintly heard.

"My...roof! Feces...are leaking in!"

Qing Keisuke:?

In a daze, he and Shiraishi Chizuru landed on the rooftop of the teaching building.

Did this somehow achieve some form of spatial movement?

Keisuke Ao was somewhat surprised by this—although it was not exactly a manifestation of spatial power, the effect was the same.

Chizuru Shiraishi's mind was in a mess, her legs were weak and she couldn't even stand up, so she could only lean on Keisuke Ao.

"What... is going on?"

How could a monster like "Hanako" interfere in my ordinary daily life?!

Meow~

Yuki was also swaying unsteadily, looking dejected.

Keisuke Ao came to his senses, looked at his and the female doctor's position, and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

What should we do?

Memory erasure? Not enough spirituality!

Shiraishi Chizuru cried and trembled, and it took her a while to calm down.

"Ao Keisuke!" Just as he was about to lose his temper, he shrank back in fear. "Please explain what happened."

"..."

Isn't this subtle change in tone just too adorable?

"As you can see..." Qing Guijie sighed, "Welcome to the other side of the world."

"So everything that just happened was real? Hanako? And... but why did the toilet end up like that?"

Just thinking about it briefly made Chizuru Shiraishi realize she had developed a bit of toilet PTSD.

After hesitating for a moment, Keisuke Ao still told the truth: "You got involved because you interrupted my ritual to summon Hanako."

He released Shiraishi Chizuru, but his fingers and body seemed to have already memorized the feel of Shiraishi Chizuru's body.

He then reassured him, "Don't worry too much. Under normal circumstances, you can't see these things."

In other words, he admitted that it was his mistake that led to Chizuru Shiraishi's dangerous situation tonight.

Although it was Shiraishi Chizuru's head that knocked on the door last.

The young female doctor simply squatted down on the ground, covered her head, gave up thinking, and began to act out the moment of an adult's breakdown.

Aoki Keisuke sat down next to Shiraishi Chizuru, his gaze deep and unfathomable, and said nothing more.

Undoubtedly, he had exposed part of his secret, and by someone he knew. If he didn't handle the aftermath properly, his long-cherished peaceful life would be completely ruined.

So, what should we do...?

"Meow~" (Kill them all!)
