I'm having fun in Tokyo

Morikawa Yu couldn't help but speak again: "Of course."

Erii immediately lowered her head and started writing again: "Then can you come out and let me see what you look like? I found you, so I guess I won the game of hide-and-seek, right?"

Morikawa Yu hesitated for a moment.

He didn't know whether he should come out or not, but he didn't sense any hostility from Erii.

There were no negative prompts displayed above Erii's head.

Finally, he decided to trust the system's status assessment, deactivated his wind-based stealth, and reappeared.

As the girl watched him appear, she curiously tapped his chest with her finger, as if to confirm that he was a real person, not just a wisp of wind that could disappear at any moment.

She lowered her head and wrote on the paper.

"I think I saw you just now too. There was a slight fluctuation in the airflow when my brother and the others were having a meeting. Was that you too?"

Morikawa Yu nodded: "It's me."

Erii wrote again: "And what about the other person?"

"I just heard you talking to someone? You told her you were going to leave some kind of mark here, and that if I were in danger, she would come to protect me or take me away. Where is she?"

"I can't find her."

"If I give in, will you let her out?"

Morikawa Yu was stunned for a moment.

He looked at Erii, surprised that she had overheard his conversation with EVA, who had deliberately lowered their voices, despite the distance and the many alloy steel doors.

But when he thought of Erii's lineage and the description of her condition, he immediately realized that this was normal.

After all, she could even observe the faint airflow when he used the wind to conceal himself, so she would also be able to detect vibrations in the air, such as sound.

He shook his head: "She has no body, and there's no holographic projector here, so she can't get out."

Erii paused for a moment.

She held the pen, thought for a moment, and wrote on the paper: "Without a body, is she like Princess Kaguya?"

Morikawa Yu nodded.

He was about to add that EVA wasn't human when EVA's voice came through his headphones.

"Hmph, although I am very dissatisfied with your abrupt appearance and betrayal of me, I have to admit that she is much more polite than you."

After she finished speaking, she changed her tone and said, "Hello, little girl, I am EVA."

Erii's eyes lit up when she heard EVA's voice.

A smile finally appeared on her face, though it was very faint, it was exceptionally beautiful.

She immediately wrote on the paper: "Yes, my name is Erii, Uesugi Erii."

She looked at Morikawa Yu and wrote again, "And you?"

Morikawa Yu shook her head subconsciously.

He couldn't let Erii know his name, otherwise, if she told others his name after he left, the Hebi-Hachi family would know that he had come to see Erii.

The Snake Clan has information on him and will soon conclude that after wreaking havoc on Kassel College and the North American mixed-race, he has now set his sights on them and harbors ill intentions towards their secret weapon and Princess Erii.

He whispered, "I'm sorry,"

"I'm leaving."

Erii lowered her head, somewhat disappointed.

Looking at her, Morikawa Yu's heart softened, and she couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to go out and have a look?"

Erii immediately looked up and carefully observed him.

When she confirmed that Morikawa Yu had said those words and was looking at her cautiously, her eyes lit up.

She wrote it on the paper.

Would you like to take me with you?

“My family has never wanted me to go outside, and I don’t dare to go too far from here. Would you be willing to take me with you?”

"Yes." Morikawa Yu nodded immediately.

He had originally intended to take her away, but he was worried that she wouldn't want to go with a stranger like him, so he didn't have high hopes.

If she wants to leave now, he is of course willing to take her with him.

Erii's smile widened again as she wrote on the paper, "Alright, let's go outside together and have some fun."

She turned and walked to the cupboard, took out a small backpack, put paper and pen inside, slung it over her back, and then took out a small box from the side.

Morikawa Yu looked at her retreating figure, finding it hard to believe.

She just agreed to go with me like that?

Didn't the Snake Clan teach her not to trust strangers or go with them?

But he soon realized he was overthinking it.

The Snake Clan built a series of sturdy doors, locking her inside the medical area and vault at the deepest part of the Genji Heavy Industries building.

Almost no one outside the community could see her, let alone communicate with her or take her away.

The Snake Clan would never have imagined that someone could infiltrate the heavily guarded Genji Heavy Industries building, bypass numerous security personnel, find the medical area, and then pass through a series of iron gates to arrive before her.

Most importantly, they were able to avoid being discovered and without alerting anyone.

It would be impossible to fulfill any one of these requirements, let alone meet Erii.

They naturally wouldn't go to the trouble of telling Erii not to follow the strangers who entered the area.

Chapter 458 Social Death 2.0

He looked at Erii.

Erii packed her shrine maiden outfit, underwear, and toys that she had taken off before taking a bath into a box, and carrying the small box, she came to him.

Morikawa Yu reached out her hand, wanting to help her carry the box.

But Erii shook her head.

She hugged the small box tightly, then squatted down and placed it at her feet. She took out paper and pen from her backpack and wrote: "There are many doors outside, many people and many surveillance cameras."

"After Dr. Sayaka and the others arrive, can we quietly follow behind them?"

Morikawa Yu shook her head: "No, we'll be discovered immediately if we go that way. We can't go that way."

Erii tilted her head and wrote, "Will it be discovered immediately?"

"No wonder they were able to find me."

"But if we don't go this way, how are we going to get out?"

Morikawa Yu paused for a moment, recalling how clumsy she looked when she appeared on the surveillance footage before.

He said softly, "It's alright, leave this to me, I'll take you out."

Erii looked at him curiously.

She looked down and wrote on the paper: "Okay, here you go."

"But when will we come back?"

"If I don't come back, my family will worry about me."

Morikawa Yu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Hmm... I'll be back tomorrow."

That's what he said, but his real idea was to first find evidence that Herzog was using the alias Tachibana Masamune, then kill Herzog tonight and tell the truth to the Snake-Headed Hachike family.

He'll wait and see how the Snake Clan reacts tomorrow before deciding whether to come back with Erii.

Erii nodded, then squatted down, picked up the small box, placed it on the table, tore a page from the notebook in her arms, and bent down to write on it.

Morikawa Yu walked over and looked at what she had written. She then realized that the paper read: "Brother Genjiro, Mr. Tachibana Masamune, I went out to play with 'Mr. Hide and Seek'. I will be back tomorrow."

At the very bottom of the paper, she wrote her name: Erii.

After she finished writing, she looked around the room, the bathroom, and the inner room to make sure everything was tidied up before turning to look at Morikawa Yu and writing on the original piece of paper: "I'm ready. Shall we go now?"

Morikawa Yu nodded.

Erii picked up the small box, slung her backpack over her shoulder, turned and walked towards the path, finally stopping at the entrance of the vault.

A heavy white alloy gate stood there, blocking her way.

She parted her lips slightly, as if she wanted to speak.

But she immediately remembered that Morikawa Yu had said he would take her out of the situation.

She turned to look at Morikawa Yu.

Morikawa Yuya kept looking at her.

He walked along the path and came to the vault door, frowning slightly.

He used Flash to enter the gate, but Flash can only be used by him alone, so he couldn't take Erii with him.

Soon, Morikawa Yu came up with a solution.

He held out his hand to Erii, lowered his voice, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I'll show you a magic trick, give me your hand."

Erii blinked, looking at his outstretched hand.

She hesitated for a moment, then hugged the box to her chest, carefully reached out and touched Morikawa Yu's fingers. Looking at Morikawa Yu to confirm his expression, she then placed her hand in his palm.

Morikawa Yu also carefully released his spatial power.

Soon, the power of space brought him and Erii into the space of the Goshuincho.

Considering that it was inconvenient for Erii to see the living area, main unit area, power supply area, and the area where Mai Shutoku was located, he landed with Erii in a newly opened and unused area.

Erii looked at the white mist all around her and subconsciously tightened her grip on his hand.

Morikawa Yu said in a low voice, "Wait here for me for a while, don't move. I'll be right back, and then the magic will be successful, and we'll go outside."

Erii hesitated for a moment, then nodded, placed the box on the ground, looked at him with a hint of anticipation, and wrote on the paper: "Okay."

Morikawa Yu turned around and released spatial power on the spot, leaving the Goshuincho space.

He reappeared in front of the vault.

EVA suddenly spoke up: "You cat-ear-obsessed perverted owner, are you really going to commit an even bigger crime and abduct an innocent girl?"

"What do you mean by 'abducting an innocent girl'?" Morikawa Yu frowned. "It's because she was willing to come out with me that I thought of taking her away from here."

EVA said coldly, "That's because she's never seen anyone who can enter her room before, and she thinks you're special and different from others, so she's willing to go out with you, right?"

"You are just a stranger who has entered her life."

"If you let her know that you want to take her away and never come back, she won't go with you."

"That's why I think you're trying to abduct an innocent girl. If the child had even a little bit of wariness, she wouldn't believe a suspicious guy like you."

"Of course, she may not have accepted you yet. She just thinks you are very capable and believes that you can take her out of here, which is why she is willing to leave with you."

"Maybe." Morikawa Yu shrugged. "But even so, I have to get her out of here first. I can't let her stay in this cage of the Snake Clan."

EVA: "Because the academy is coming to Japan soon?"

“Hmm.” Morikawa Yu nodded: “That dragon embryo beneath the waters off Japan is not so simple.”

"It's related to the secrets of the Snake Clan, and with Herzog involved, the Snake Clan is bound to clash with the academy."

"At that time, they will definitely use Erii's power to become enemies with the academy."

"In short, we can't let her stay here any longer."

EVA sighed: "Then let's do it your way."

"But let me remind you first."

"I am not human, but I am not simply a machine either."

“I am completely different from those mindless, useless AIs. I will observe what you actually do, see what kind of person you really are, and then decide my attitude towards you.”

She paused for a moment before saying, "You should be able to notice it too, right? The difference between me working at full capacity and me just going through the motions is huge."
