If I were actually arrested, I would probably still be scared and troubled.

But that child really was...

"of course not."

"Takagawa is indeed a gentle and kind person!"

"what?"

Takagawa Takayuki had absolutely no idea what Shinomiya Kaguya was thinking.

"What does it have to do with gentleness and kindness? It's just that that guy is very dangerous, so we can't act rashly."

"?"

Is it very dangerous?

She's clearly a girl who seems a bit silly...

It wasn't even as terrifying as those countless twisted and entwined arms we had just seen.

"You don't think she's some weakling, do you?"

"If the one who cursed you is a goblin outside the starting village in another world, then that guy is like one of the Four Heavenly Kings under the Demon King!"

Just how obsessed are you with this other world?!

"[Qianhunhuasi self-slicing boy]."

Takagawa Ryu revealed the name of the girl, Ling.

"Even in the whole of Tokyo, she's ranked S-class or higher. Do you think you can just take her down like that?"

"Incidentally."

"The worst kind of trash you're cursed is only a D-rank."

Shinomiya Kaguya: "..."

Doesn't this also illustrate the point?

Going to your shrine is a thousand times more dangerous than being cursed!

Chapter Six: This Country is Doomed

I'm so sorry to bother you.

Was that kid really that scary?!

So what exactly do "S" and "D" class mean?

Does it refer to the power of the [spirit]?

"It is the 'High-Risk Paranormal Location Map' updated monthly by the official [Ministry of Non-Human Crisis Countermeasures]. It mainly records the [spirits] or [non-human beings] of Grade A or above located throughout the country, as well as the latest rating standards."

By the way.

Because of various problems.

This information is not updated in real time online. Instead, industry professionals need to be accredited and travel to special locations to purchase the monthly official "floppy disks" to obtain the latest information.

"In a country where the cybersecurity minister doesn't even know what a USB flash drive is, or has never even used a computer, this is all we can do."

"..."

Why are you suddenly complaining about such serious social issues!

"The rating ranges from E to SSS. The higher the rating, the stronger the creature, and the more terrible the consequences it can cause. That's about it."

This includes—

SSS level:

The [Great Dragon], a destructive entity that would sink Japan if it were to awaken.

SS-class:

Terrible disasters that could cause city collapse or regional shutdowns—[Ryomen Sukuna], [The Great Demon King Who Curses Japan], [The Cursed Plague—Death Mark (Death Gnawing)].

Other than that.

There are also "gods" who walk among humans, whose existence has been confirmed through eyewitness accounts, but whose specific level cannot be determined.

It includes:

The embodiment of Jupiter, symbolizing good and bad fortune and imperial power—【Star God Tai Sui Star Lord】.

The God of Pop, a massive collection of ghost stories created by modern young people through games, novels, movies, comics, and more.

Recently introduced to the mortal realm, this recurring game—【The World of Horror】—regularly selects "players" to travel to the so-called Shiokawa Town to fight against the descent of an evil god…

……

as well as.

In Tokyo alone, there are multiple individuals rated as [S] or [S~], who, if they were to go berserk, could cause at least tens of thousands of deaths and injuries.

"This country is finished too..."

Gao Chuanlong expressed this sentiment.

rare.

Kaguya Shinomiya thought so too.

How terrifying! So that's what the world is really like?!

"Speaking of which... Takagawa was lying to me, wasn't he? What he just said was all a lie."

"No, these are all true."

"I want to study abroad!!"

"It's the same abroad; it's pretty much the same everywhere in the world."

"..."

Kaguya Shinomiya's worldview underwent a tremendous change that night.

She suddenly understood.

Why do teenagers often say things like "It would be fine if we just pretended they didn't exist"? What do they really mean?

Ah ah ah ah ah!

Deceiving yourself is indeed quite effective!

"Speaking of which, how exactly is this so-called strength defined?"

It's scary as it is.

But just as if she had suddenly come into contact with entirely new knowledge, the girl was also filled with curiosity.

even.

She even ran over and sat down next to the boy—after all, what the two of them had just said was a bit exaggerated, so it was more appropriate to sit together and chatter quietly.

"time."

what?

Kaguya Shinomiya was somewhat puzzled by Takagawa Ryu's answer.

What is "time"?

"The longer someone lives, the stronger they become, isn't that simple? Take the [Self-Slaying Child] I just mentioned, for example. She has survived from around the Tensho era (around 1590) to the present day as [Rei], which is over four hundred years ago."

It has survived all these years and has not been killed.

That explains it.

She is incredibly strong.

After all, Japan's entire history is less than two thousand years old.

"Of course, this kind of criterion isn't very suitable for distinguishing the various ghost stories that have recently become popular—those are also very troubling things. Why can't modern young people do more erotic stuff? Why are they always messing around with these scary things..."

Kaguya Shinomiya had absolutely no idea about this.

Although she is the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, the girl is actually an IT idiot. She even uses an old-fashioned flip phone, a "treasure from ancient times" that she has been using since kindergarten.

The internet, ghost stories, message boards...

For Kaguya Shinomiya, it was undoubtedly similar to "another world".

"So... this guy who cursed me shouldn't be considered a nobody, right?"

Although Takagawa Takayuki always appeared relaxed.

However, as someone who was cursed and lost her breasts, Kaguya Shinomiya was still somewhat uneasy.

"This news happened thirteen years ago."

In other words.

If this is indeed the perverted killer who imprisoned girls, forced them to produce breast milk, or cut off their breasts, and then became a spirit after death.

He has been around for over a decade.

"what……"

I hadn't noticed that before.

"Then it can probably be upgraded from D to C."

"Is that okay too?!"

"of course."

"..."

"Don't worry, a guy who relies on spreading curses, but when the curses succeed, he can't even kill people, he can only make their chests disappear. Calling him a small fry is an understatement."

Gao Chuanlong said with a smile.

"If Shinomiya-san really encounters a scary guy, she'll understand. Losing her breasts or something, to be honest, is kind of funny in the context of curses."

"..."

It's not funny at all!

Even though it's a bean gun, it's still very important to the girl!!

"Nothing needs to be prepared or brought?"

Kaguya Shinomiya had wanted to ask this before.

Nowadays, Gao Chuanlong's style of dressing is so light and easy that it's almost unbelievable!

A black tank top, loose gray shorts, and even geta (wooden clogs)!! (Although it seems normal for people in Kyoto to wear geta.)

That's all.

Can you really remove a spirit with just your bare hands?!

"No need. If it's really necessary, Chizuru will too..."

The boy's words stopped abruptly.

The tram switched off its lights with a "snap" at that moment.

Darkness descended in an instant.

"..."

Hey.

Gao Chuan?

Gaochuan Long?

Kaguya Shinomiya discovered she couldn't make a sound, and there was no sound around her, only...

"Click".
