"It's a bit hot today."

Kato Megumi was standing next to the station and saw herself through the glass. She reached out to tidy up her bangs and continued to wait quietly.

When getting on the bus, a little boy in a hurry bumped into her. The boy did not apologize and rushed to take the seat on the bus first.

Kato Megumi was the last one to come in and could only stand after getting on the bus. She grabbed the handrail of the bus and looked out the window without saying a word.

For some reason, Kato Megumi suddenly thought of Aragaki Jun.

He was undoubtedly a very special boy in school. He slept on the table during class, never did his homework, and was very indifferent to his classmates.

If these shortcomings were applied to ordinary boys, they would definitely be labeled as bad boys, gang members, and blackmailers.

If these are not present, it may turn into school bullying.

However, Aragaki Jun is very different. He doesn't study, but he doesn't affect others. He doesn't do homework, but he doesn't feel complacent. He treats people coldly, but he is never barbaric or rude.

In fact, he gives people the impression of being very mature. Although he does not interact with others, he knows everything clearly in his mind.

That kind of calmness, depth and strength is actually what many students yearn for.

What's more, he is very handsome and many girls secretly have a crush on him.

It was still okay in the past, some people were still waiting for the right time to confess, but ever since he and Yumiko Miura officially announced their relationship, the girls can only cry secretly.

Such a person as Aragaki Jun is a famous figure in the whole grade and even in the whole school, and he attracts attention wherever he goes.

Kato Megumi rarely shows any expression and speaks slowly and softly, as if she doesn't care about anything and is not angry about anything.

But the fact is, she is also a sixteen-year-old high school student, a girl in her youth, so of course she has a lot of ideas.

She... doesn't like Aragaki Jun, she just envies him a little and has some favorable impression of him.

He already has a girlfriend, so she has no intention of having a third party, and doesn't even plan to take any action. She just wants to watch like this.

In the future, maybe Aragaki will become a very famous person, and she will have the opportunity to tell others that she was in the same class with him and they would occasionally talk.

"..."

Kato Megumi was so absorbed in thinking about these things that she almost missed her stop, but fortunately she discovered it in time.

After hurriedly getting off the bus, Kato Megumi walked slowly towards home along the path.

On the way, she felt a little thirsty, so she bought a bottle of grape juice from a vending machine, but only drank half of it when she got home.

Kato Megumi's father, Kato Tomosai, is an ordinary employee who often works overtime in the company. Given Kato Megumi's work and rest schedule, she rarely sees him.

But what Kato Megumi didn't expect was that when she opened the door and walked into the house, she actually saw her father.

Not only that, the friend who was very good to my father was also there.

Perhaps because the other party encouraged her father to speculate in stocks, Kato Megumi had a very bad impression of him. She just said hello and didn't say anything else.

At this time, Kato Megumi's father was in high spirits. He eagerly told his daughter that he had earned another 200,000 yen today!

"Dad, my classmate said that the stock market is very unstable now, why don't you..."

"What does he know? He's just a kid whose hair hasn't even grown out yet. He's saying this just to attract your attention. Stay away from him!"

Kato Tomosai is very good to his daughter, but he has achieved great success in stock trading recently, so he naturally would not believe such ridiculous words.

He really made money. What does that high school boy know? Has he ever made money in the stock market?!

"..."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her father, Kato Megumi stopped talking and turned to look for her mother.

Unfortunately, Kato Megumi's mother is a very traditional island woman, and her support for her husband is almost unconditional.

Kato Megumi chatted with her mother for a while, but finally gave up helplessly and returned to her room.

Downstairs, the sound of my father’s laughter was not very clear. Having been a social animal for half his life, he was more energetic than ever before.

"..."

Although Kato Megumi did not approve of her father taking out a loan on the house, she believed that even if he really lost everything, he would just have to rent a house.

Kato Megumi prepared for the worst and was not too afraid of it.

The only thing that worried her was that her father would be encouraged by his friends to borrow money from loan sharks again.

Not only that, they also discussed that with more funds, they could use a larger leverage multiple and make more money.

His father is obsessed with money and his mother just supports him blindly. Kato Megumi feels the crisis, but it is useless to say anything.

"What if... Aragaki-san is wrong?"

Now, Kato Megumi can only use this reason to comfort herself.

After all, Aragaki Jun has never been involved in these things, and his judgment may not be correct.

The truth is, it doesn’t matter what they think because nothing can be done.

Chapter 218 Tracking

Aragaki Jun was not aware of Kato Megumi's confusion and helplessness at the moment, or he didn't have time to think about it.

At this time, Jun Aragaki and Nao Tomori were walking on the street, pretending to be a strolling couple.

Before the second class started this afternoon, Jun Aragaki received a text message from Nao Tomori, and then he was inexplicably dragged out of school by her.

Aragaki Jun thought he was just going shopping with her for a while, but he didn't return to school until after school and was still playing role-playing games with her.

"Nao, is the information you got reliable? Should we just follow it?"

"Don't worry, we can't alert the enemy."

Nao Tomori had already changed out of her school uniform, and in order to play the role of a couple with Jun Aragaki, she bought a new set of clothes.

That’s right, it’s exactly the same outfit as the one worn by Yumiko Miura, specially designed as a couple outfit with Jun Aragaki.

When Jun Aragaki thought about Miura Yumiko finding out that Nao Tomori was dressed like this, his scalp began to tingle.

But after all, for the sake of business, he had to continue acting with her.

Nao Tomori received a tip-off and discovered that someone might be possessed by a demon, so she dragged Jun Aragaki over to follow him.

Not to mention, Nao Tomori has plenty of experience in tracking people and has never been discovered by her target.

Although Aragaki Jun felt it was troublesome, he was not impatient. After all, he was pretending to be a couple with Nao Tomori. Not only could they hold hands, but they could also be closer.

Nao Tomori has to keep her eyes on the target, while Kenshin Aragaki is enjoying the date and buying gifts for the two girls at home.

If Yamauchi Yuichi did not lie, then there are less than a hundred demons in the world right now.

Because they betrayed their own kind, they were forgiven by the 'God of Purification and Demon Remedies' and lived in chains.

The contract that Nao Tomori signed with the devil is still in effect, which means that it is not dead yet, but just hiding.

"Nao Tomori, why do you have to be so cautious? Can't you just use your ability?"

"A person possessed by a demon is no longer considered human. I can't hide it from him."

Nao Tomori is not afraid of the other party hiding deeply, but she is afraid that it will escape without giving her a chance.

In a place with so many people like this, if the person possessed by the devil wants to escape, she will definitely not be able to catch up with him.

Aragaki Jun felt that she was too cautious, and even a little bit like she was encouraging others:

"If you ask me, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Just catch the person and test him."

"What if the other party is not that person and calls the police?"

Tomori Nao has experienced this kind of thing before, so she is now extra careful:

"If you're caught once, you can get away with it, but if you go to the police station two or three times, things will be troublesome."

"You'll be considered a pervert? Then just have a fighting match."

Aragaki Jun knew her concerns and stopped using violence.

To find a hidden devil in such a vast sea of ​​people is like looking for a needle in a haystack. There will be many more days like this in the future.

"Nao, will those demons run away to other countries?"

"Probably not."

"Why? If it goes to the United States, wouldn't that be like a fish entering the sea?"

“This is where the two worlds come together.”

"Hmm? You don't mean to say that only the island nation is suitable for them to survive."

Xinyuan Jun stomped on the ground and found no signs of contamination.

Nao Tomori pulled Jun Aragaki to her side to stop him from doing something so conspicuous. Then she dragged him into the mall and pretended to choose a toy in a toy store:

"Demons are different from humans. They don't need to eat in the human sense."

"It's impossible that they have no consumption."

"Just like humans need to breathe and cannot survive directly in space, they also have needs."

"There is no such thing in our world?"

"Yes. This is the place where the two worlds are closest. There will always be some energy seeping in. Although it is very thin, it can keep the demon alive.

Nao Tomori has always planned to hunt demons, and her understanding of these creatures is beyond the reach of Jun Aragaki.

Following their target, the two left the mall and headed toward the nearby red-light district.

"What does he want to do?"

"Demons possess humans and enjoy this kind of thing."

Nao Tomori felt that it would be a bit conspicuous for the two of them to walk together in a place like this, so she decided to let Jun Aragaki act alone.

"Follow him and pretend to chat up some girls."

"Ah? I'm not that kind of person."

"Who told you to make the fake play real? Your mission is to follow him and don't reveal any flaws."

"Then...what if he chooses someone and goes to get a room?"

"Then choose someone and follow him to the same store. This is just an act, don't really go to bed with him."
