In this situation, Alice Nakiri herself felt even more embarrassed and could only try to ease the awkwardness by singing.

It was more than an hour later when she realized that the two people in the audience were not Erina.

……

Challenge the World.

In the early morning, the moment I woke up from my dream, I suddenly felt a little short of breath, like I had a bad cold.

However, it's obvious that it's not a cold.

Because idiots don't catch colds (laughs).

Opening his eyes, as expected, his younger sister was once again stepping on him, jumping around like she was dancing.

Before last night, this would have been a rather painful experience, but now, I have been completely transformed.

This little thing is nothing to me right now.

Shirou Itsuka rubbed his sleepy eyes and greeted him with a smile:

Good morning, Kotori.

"Brother, breakfast is ready."

"Thank you, it's really kind of you to do this every day. Thinking back to the days when I used to prepare breakfast for you, it all seems so distant and unfamiliar now."

That's what they say, but it actually happened only about six months ago.

At that time, Shirou would get up very early every morning. After cleaning and making breakfast, he would go to wake his sister up.

However, six months ago I accidentally caught a cold and after lying in bed for two days, my roles were reversed.

After gradually getting used to it, I even started to think that it wasn't so bad.

So, humans are indeed inherently lazy.

“I always felt that if things continued like this, my brother would lose all his authority.”

"No, brother will always be brother, I love you."

"Thank you. It's so nice to hear that from my sister."

While eating breakfast, Kotori Itsuka kept changing channels with the remote control in hand.

Her favorite astrology and blood type readings were often shown at the end of the program. After switching TV channels, she eventually got bored and started watching the morning news.

[Early this morning, in the suburbs of Tiangong City...]

The television screen showed a scene of ruins, with the street view completely destroyed, and buildings and roads collapsed and damaged.

Such a tragic scene is truly unbearable to look at.

"A spacequake?"

So, it's today.

Turning his head, Shirou noticed that Kotori's cheeks were quite round, and he couldn't help but sigh softly:

"I know you like lollipops, but is it necessary to eat them even during meals?"

"sorry."

"No need to apologize. I'm not angry. I just wanted to remind you to control yourself. At the very least, let's talk about it after we finish eating, okay?"

"Uh-huh."

"Don't try to fool me. You always agree so quickly, but then you forget about it later."

Chapter 169 Predicting the Future

Chapter 169, Section 170: Predicting the Future

In the morning, after the opening ceremony, Shirou was sitting in the classroom chatting with his friend Toncho when a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the street.

The broadcast sound, amplified by the machine, then began to play:

"This is not a drill, this is not a drill. Due to the observation of a foreshock, we believe a spacequake is imminent. Residents in the vicinity are requested to go to shelters as soon as possible..."

The classroom fell silent, filled with a strong sense of unease.

However, because they had received evacuation training from a young age, none of the students panicked.

Upon noticing Shirou suddenly running towards the exit, Tonomachi quickly asked:

"Shirou, where are you going? The shelter isn't in that direction."

"I have something to take care of. You go to the shelter and don't worry about me."

"Now? Are you crazy?! A spacequake is about to happen outside!"

"I know, don't worry, it'll be fine."

Shirou waved and ran quickly toward the exit.

The next moment, a girl ran over and stood in front of him.

"It's dangerous outside, you can't go out."

"Tobiichi, I have something to take care of outside. Don't worry about me, just go do what you need to do."

"Is it something that absolutely has to be done? I can do it for you."

"Thank you for your kindness, but this is something only I can do."

Origami Tobiichi tried to persuade her again, but the calls in her earpiece had become urgent.

After hesitating for a long time, she could only turn around and leave through the exit, disappearing from Shirou's sight in the blink of an eye.

"call……"

Shirou breathed a sigh of relief; if he had continued, he might not have been able to convince her.

After all, in her eyes, she was just an ordinary student, and running out at such an inappropriate time was simply courting death.

Stepping out of the school gate and running across the slope in front of the school, I was greeted by an empty street.

The parks and convenience stores have long lost their former liveliness, leaving only desolation.

"Have they all fled to seek refuge?"

That's right. I've been receiving relevant training since I was a child, and the things I should do when seeking refuge are already ingrained in my soul.

Anyone who runs out at a time like this is either a fool or incredibly skilled and daring.

Shirou closed his eyes slightly, activated his Observation Haki to its fullest extent, and with complete concentration, a scene from the future seemed to appear before his eyes.

A black-haired girl dressed in strange clothes appeared out of thin air, a dazzling light flashed by, followed by a huge explosion.

The street was instantly blown away, buildings and roads collapsed and destroyed, and the street scene was turned into ruins in the blink of an eye.

'Am I hallucinating? Wait... could it be future vision?'

When Observation Haki is enhanced to a certain level, it becomes possible to foresee the future.

However, his Observation Haki was clearly not yet at that level.

However, the vision of the future before our eyes is so real.

The only explanation is that the Observation Haki, combined with his many sensory abilities, produced some kind of peculiar chemical reaction.

"Well, it's not a bad thing. We can try it again later."

Shirou opened his eyes and ran quickly towards the future he saw with his Observation Haki.

Shortly after arriving at my destination, a strong sense of vigilance suddenly arose in my heart.

"coming!"

The next moment, the future I had seen before became reality, and everything was exactly as I had predicted.

In the middle of the street, which had been turned into a crater, a black-haired girl stood next to a metal throne.

Their eyes met, and she reached out and grasped what looked like a handle on the back of the throne, slowly pulling it out.

It was a giant sword that gleamed with light, its broad blades carrying a sense of weight and solidity.

The girl raised her greatsword high and swung it down towards Shirou.

"That's really true, they don't even give people a chance to say hello. But that suits me just fine."

Shirou smiled slightly, and an ice sword instantly appeared in his right palm.

The blades clashed together, producing a loud bang.

The next moment, the girl suddenly froze in place, maintaining her slashing motion, standing there motionless.

As Shirou walked towards her step by step, her eyes were full of doubt.

'What...what's wrong with me?'

'No matter what I try, I can't move. Is this the end for me?'

The girl slowly lowered her eyes, closed them, and awaited death.

However, after waiting and waiting, the sword never came; instead, a voice was heard:

"Eight Trigrams Seal!"

In that instant, the girl felt her hands lighten, and all the power within her body vanished.

"Someone's coming soon, let's find somewhere else to talk." Shirou grabbed her arm and quickly left.

"Where are you taking me?" the girl asked hesitantly.

"Let's find a quiet place. You probably have a lot of questions you want to ask me, right? Perfect, I also have a lot to say to you."

The shops on the street were all closed, and the park had been turned into ruins by the spatial tremor. After running a distance, Shirou realized that he could only take her home.

During this time, the girl tried to shake off Shirou's hand, but because all her power was sealed, she had no chance to resist.

"We're here. I'll go make some tea. Please sit on the sofa for a while."

After returning home, Shirou brewed a pot of tea, placed one cup on the coffee table in front of her, and then said:

"Please help yourself. My name is Itsuka Shirou. And yours?"
