Zongman: Beginning and Snow under the Rain Escape from Raccoon City

For the past thirty days, she's had practically nothing to do; she's been peacefully staying in her hotel room painting and then...

"If you have nothing to do, come to the Service Department tomorrow, and I'll introduce you to another teammate."

Ye Hai reached out and ruffled Eriri's golden twin tails into a mess.

Eriri ignored her messy hair and asked hesitantly, "Is it that Yukino Yukinoshita?"

Both being school beauties, Eriri had heard of Yukino Yukinoshita.

It's not that they'd only heard a little about it; they'd met at some parties before, but they hadn't really spoken to each other.

Eriri always drinks orange juice at the children's table, while Yukino Yukinoshita hides in secluded places by herself and doesn't interact with anyone except her sister.

"Huh? You actually knew that?"

Ye Hai said in surprise.

Eriri puffed out her cheeks upon hearing this: "I haven't been doing nothing these past few days."

During her time at the hotel, Eriri thoroughly explored everything that could be studied in the Main God Space.

The team list was naturally not overlooked either.

Having seen the team list, she naturally knew that Yukino Yukinoshita was also present.

Although she was curious as to why Yukino Yukinoshita didn't enter the previous world with her, Eriri didn't ask, considering that it might involve other people's privacy.

"Yes, it's her."

Ye Hai nodded. Since he already knew, then there was no need for an introduction.

"Um... are Yukino Yukinoshita and you just teammates?"

Eriri cautiously probed.

"She's my girlfriend."

Ye Hai did not hide anything.

"Oh……"

Eriri's eyes dimmed instantly upon hearing the answer, and she responded softly with a hint of disappointment.

"Why are you unhappy?"

Ye Hai reached out and hugged Eriri's slender waist, saying.

Eriri instinctively gripped Ye Hai's clothes tightly with both hands, her eyes glistening with tears as she asked pitifully, "Then what should I do..."

Clearly, she was a latecomer, and Eriri didn't even have the courage to listen to Ye Hai's answer at this point.

"Hmm? Aren't you the same?"

"You've already taken my shape, do you really want to marry someone else?"

"Besides, modern Japan is not like Britain, which still has the restriction of monogamy."

Ye Hai lifted Eriri's fair chin, feeling the delicate skin beneath.

Eriri was taken aback when she heard this. Oh right.

Japan, a unique case among the world's modern developed countries, has retained this system.

However, few people bring this up, and Eriri's own family situation has instilled in her the subconscious belief that a person can only have one partner.

"So... I'm your second girlfriend?"

Eriri hesitated for a moment before saying that she had never imagined she would share the same man with another woman.

But now that the die is cast, Eriri has no choice but to accept reality.

"Oh no."

"You are the third one. Actually, I have already registered my marriage with Yukino Yukinoshita's older sister, Haruno Yukinoshita."

Ye Haitian said shamelessly.

"!!!"

Eriri instantly became angry; how could they be sisters?

This person is so infuriating!

Enraged, Eriri bit Ye Hai's chest.

asshole!

Let's just bite them to death!

"Don't bite here!"

Ye Hai didn't feel anything at first, but as the small bump on his chest was bitten, he immediately grimaced.

That bite really hurts!

……

The Sawamura family's villa.

Eriri Sawamura's figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in her bedroom, along with Kiyokage no Mikoto beside her.

She sat on the bed in a daze for a while before realizing that she had returned to reality.

"What a bastard!"

Eriri shyly reached out and touched her slightly swollen lips, which had been bitten and then pressed together again.

If we hadn't gotten away in time, we probably would have stayed there for several more hours.

　4.9 With her thoughts returning to calm, Eriri's gaze fell on the still-lit computer screen. The keyboard and mouse on the computer desk had been thrown aside, leaving only a graphics tablet.

Everything is the same as it was when she left.

But Eriri felt a strange sense of déjà vu, as if she were in another world.

She stretched out her hand and slowly raised it, and rays of light gradually gathered in her palm.

The light grew brighter and brighter, even surpassing the brightness of the lamp in her room.

All of this made Eriri realize that she was definitely not dreaming before.

"Eri~ Would you like some of the little cakes Mommy made?"

Eriri's room door was pushed open by Sawamura Sayuri.

"Bang--"

It was the sound of a tray of small cakes hitting the ground.

Sawamura Sayuri and Eriri locked eyes, while the magic orb in Eriri's hand shimmered with dazzling light.

Chapter 88 Hikigaya Komachi

The moonlight is like water.

"I never thought that someone like me would one day be like this..."

Outside the walls of the Hikigaya family compound, Hachiman Hikigaya leaned against the wall, lingering without returning home.

Hachiman Hikigaya, who once proclaimed that "marriage is the grave of life," no longer had that disdainful expression.

Little Mary's smiling face and her dying confession flooded his mind like a tide, causing a dull pain in his chest.

He never imagined that someone who considered himself a "recluse" would be so attached to a girl he had only known for less than a month.

The moonlight shone on his slightly disheveled hair, outlining a soft silver edge.

Combined with his pale skin due to his vampire lineage, he actually looked quite handsome.

Of course, this is on the premise that you can ignore those dead fish eyes that are still the same as before.

He reached up and stroked the revolver at his waist. Although he had avenged Little Mary and the others, Hachiman Hikigaya still couldn't let go of his resentment.

"I need to return the things to them tomorrow."

The gun was borrowed.

Hachiman Hikigaya still remembers.

He's not the type to borrow things and not return them, but he can't return the bullets he's already used.

Perhaps I should find some other gift to thank 02.

Just then, light footsteps came from inside the wall, accompanied by a familiar, clear voice: "Brother? What are you doing out so late? Komachi was about to go to the school to find you!"

Hikigaya Komachi pushed open the courtyard gate, wearing pajamas and with her hair in a slightly messy bun, clearly having just gotten out of bed.

She looked up and, by the moonlight, saw Hachiman Hikigaya clearly. Her eyes widened immediately: "Brother! Why is your face so pale? You look like a ghost! Are you sick?"

Hachiman Hikigaya was taken aback, quickly hiding his revolver and stuffing it into the inside pocket of his coat. He coughed to cover it up, saying, "I'm not... I'm not sick, I'm just a little tired lately."

He didn't want Komachi to worry, and he couldn't explain to her his experiences in the God Realm—Jack the Ripper, vampire bloodlines, and the death of Little Mary. These things were too distant and too dangerous for Komachi.

He could only offer a perfunctory reply: "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night and didn't get enough sun, so my skin is a bit whiter."

Komachi Hachiman wrinkled her nose, put her hands on her hips, and glared at him angrily: "Hmph, brother, you're just brushing me off! Your skin is so pale, it's definitely not normal! Tell me, did you secretly stay up all night playing games? Or... did you go out with some girl and forget to come home?"

She deliberately dragged out the words "girl," her eyes gleaming with cunning.

Her brother had never stayed out this late before; he used to rush home as soon as he got out of school.

Komachi Hikigaya thought about it and felt that this was very likely.

Could it be that my brother has finally come to his senses?

Hachiman Hikigaya's lips twitched, and he guiltily looked away.

Komachi's intuition was always frighteningly accurate, but how could he possibly reveal Little Mary's affair?

He scratched his head, trying to appear calm: "There's no girl involved, you're overthinking it. I just... took a walk to get some fresh air."

He paused, trying to change the subject, "Why are you out in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Don't you have school tomorrow?"

Komachi Hikigaya puffed out her cheeks, clearly dissatisfied with his perfunctory attitude.

She stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and carefully examined Hachiman Hikigaya's expression, muttering, "Hmph, my brother got a very low score from Komachi today! He's not being honest at all!"

She paused, her tone softening with concern: "But brother, are you really alright? You seemed a bit strange today, a little distracted. Is something on your mind?"

Hikigaya Hachiman felt a warmth in his heart. Looking at Komachi's worried little face, he couldn't help but reach out and rub her head: "Don't worry, your brother is very tough. I won't get into trouble so easily."

He forced a smile to hide the sadness in his eyes: "Alright, go back to sleep now, or your classmates will laugh at you for having dark circles under your eyes tomorrow."

Komachi Hikigaya pouted, clearly still uneasy, but didn't press the matter further.

She tugged at Hachiman Hikigaya's sleeve, half-pushing, half-dragging him into the yard: "Then you should hurry home too! What kind of appearance is it to stand outside in the middle of the night? Komachi doesn't want her brother to be mistaken for a monster and kidnapped!"

As she walked, she muttered to herself, "Honestly, my brother is getting more and more unreliable as he gets older. Komachi has to keep a close eye on you!"

……

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard? Yesterday, that guy named Aki Tomoya was running naked in the street!"

"real or fake?"

"It's definitely true. I heard he was even carrying a gun."

"Running naked with a gun? It's more like a toy gun. Is this some kind of performance art?"

"Who knows? But if it's really cosplay, then he's incredibly dedicated."

"By the way, what character runs around naked with a gun in the street? I have absolutely no recollection of that."

"I'm afraid only Aki Tomoya himself knows the answer."

Kato Megumi sat quietly in her seat, listening to her classmates' discussion, and first showed a hint of surprise.

I quickly came to terms with it. Was that person always so outrageous?

It seems that the previous attack wasn't directed at me, but rather that Aki Tomoya himself was the one with the problem.

And it's most likely related to mental health.

Having figured this out, a hint of pity flashed in Kato Megumi's eyes. How pitiful.
