However, Akazawa Izumi was no longer able to care about these messy things at this point.

They called over Sakuragi Yukari, who was still greeting everyone on the side, as well as Byakuya, who was watching the show with his arms crossed, and the members of the puzzle-solving team.

Using the excuse of discovering an important clue, he bid farewell to his classmates and entered the conference room of the mansion alone.

"Izumi! Why did you gather everyone together in such a hurry? Has something happened?"

It was Izumi Akazawa's best friend, Takako Sugiura, who was the first to ask a question.

However, this time, Akazawa Izumi didn't keep them in suspense.

I'm just explaining to everyone what Misaki Mei just told me.

"Just now, Misaki-san saw it. The deceased is Mr. Mikami."

"What? Then why yesterday..."

Sakuragi Yukari wanted to ask why she hadn't noticed it yesterday.

But then I remembered it.

It seems that Ms. Reiko Mikami did not participate in the graduation photo shoot yesterday.

"No wonder we didn't seem to find many people in our classroom this time, but it felt like there was one less desk in the office."

"Moreover, while other classes only have one homeroom teacher, we have two homeroom teachers, one for the main teacher and one for the secondary teacher. Also, Mr. Sanshin seemed so resistant to having his picture taken."

The doubts that arose during the girls' previous discussions have now all become clear because Reiko Mikami's identity has been discovered.

"But what should we do next?"

Ayano, who was standing next to her, also spoke up, but she seemed a little unsure of what to do.

"Are we supposed to kill Teacher Mikami?"

When she mentioned killing him, Ayano Aya's small hands on the table trembled slightly.

"Wait, what are you talking about! What do you mean, that Teacher Mikami is dead? And what do you mean, that we're going to kill Teacher Mikami?"

Previously, Takako Sugiura, who had been asked to avoid the matter by Izumi Akazawa because of the Rose Game, finally spoke up and asked about it.

She and Kazama Tomohiko, who was standing next to her, were still a little confused about the situation.

However, Akazawa Izumi immediately explained to them about finding the cassette tape in the old classroom.

After listening, both of them frowned.

"Return the dead to the dead? Now that we know how to end everything, and we've found the dead, why not end it all quickly? What are we waiting for?"

Sugiura Takako, however, seemed rather radical. After learning the culprit behind all the disasters she had suffered, she immediately thought of telling her classmates so that they could all execute the deceased together.

But the girl was stopped by Akazawa Izumi as soon as she took a step.

Akazawa Izumi stopped the girl from acting too rashly. Then, as if recalling something, she seemed to remember something.

Then he turned his gaze to Bai Ye.

"Byakuya-kun! I'd like to ask, is it true that what Kanaria-san said yesterday, that you can put an end to everything after you investigate the shrine tonight?"

The girl's question at this moment amused Bai Ye.

"Oh! I didn't expect Xiao Jin to tell you even this!"

Bai Ye nodded.

"Actually, it's possible!"

After hearing Bai Ye confirm that they could resolve all the problems without having to kill anyone, the girl finally let go of her earlier tension.

Then he put on a smiling expression and looked at the women in the conference room.

"Since Bai Ye has already said that our problem can be resolved tonight, let's all pretend that nothing happened for now!"

"Yes! I believe Bai Ye!"

"Me too!"

"What about my mother then..."

Sakuragi Yukari's Rose Game seems to be nearing its end, and it even seems possible that Akazawa Izumi will win.

The class monitor, a young girl, couldn't sit still any longer.

"Do not worry!"

Akazawa Izumi took the class president's hand and then spoke in a comforting tone.

"Didn't we make a promise before? No matter who wins, the wish will be to save your mother who died in the accident."

This appears to be a promise that Yukari Sakuragi made to Izumi in private after discovering the White Night Contract.

"Thank you, Izumi-san!"

Sakuragi Yukari appeared relaxed and then sincerely expressed her gratitude to Akazawa Izumi.

Takako Sugiura, however, was quite puzzled, not understanding why the members of the puzzle-solving team trusted Byakuya so much.

She frowned, wanting to question him, but was stopped in time by the sharp-eyed Akazawa Izumi.

Quanmei gave her friend a wink.

In the end, out of consideration for her friend, Sugiura Takako chose not to say anything more.

Anyway, it's only one night. If the curse continues after tonight, it's not too late to organize the students to kill the dead then.

Thinking of this, the girl stopped arguing.

And so, each with their own thoughts, they waited until evening to go to the Tsukuyomi Shrine to pray for blessings.

......

Evening

It was around 8 p.m.

Led by the puzzle-solving team, the students of Class 3-3 arrived at the Tsukuyomi Shrine at night to complete the blessing ceremony.

Unlike yesterday when I came here during both day and night.

The style of the temple has changed drastically since I visited during the day.

From a dilapidated little shrine, it was transformed into something as magnificent as a grand shrine in Kyoto.

Upon entering the shrine, the group saw a woman who appeared to be a shrine maiden emerge from the inner hall.

The shrine maiden wore a light red shrine maiden outfit, had shoulder-length golden curly hair, and a pair of large eyes with purple irises on her expressionless face.

It gave Bai Ye a very familiar feeling.

"When guests come to our shrine, do they come to pray for blessings or to burn incense and fulfill vows?"

The priestess's first words seemed to be asking about the purpose of Bai Ye and his group's visit.

Upon seeing this, Yukari Sakuragi immediately stepped forward to answer.

"Um... actually, we are students from Class 3-3 of Yomiyama Junior High School. We came to this shrine to pray for blessings, just like the previous years..."

However, the class monitor was interrupted by the shrine maiden in front of him before he could finish speaking.

"I didn't ask you what you were here for, and you don't deserve to be called my guests!"

"I am asking about the His Majesty before me."

As she spoke, the girl pointed a finger at Bai Ye, who was standing in the corner.

The shrine maiden's behavior puzzled the students of Class 3. Only Izumi Akazawa, who knew a little about it, couldn't help but have her pupils constrict sharply when she heard the shrine maiden address Byakuya as "Your Majesty".

The girl seemed to be starting to guess Bai Ye's true identity.

Ignoring the thoughts of the students in Class 3 around him, Bai Ye simply narrowed his eyes and then suddenly revealed a playful expression as he answered the shrine maiden's question.

"If you ask me... then I'll have to say, I'm here to challenge you!"

Upon hearing Bai Ye's answer, the shrine maiden's expression changed. However, the next moment, she adopted a joking tone.

"My Lord, please don't play such strange jokes on us. This is a temple, not a dojo. There are no rules here that allow people to challenge us."

"Oh, is it so?"

Bai Ye did not continue down the path of joking. Now that they had arrived in this world, it was time for the Rose Game to come to an end.

Bai Ye had no interest in continuing the game of pretending to be an ordinary person.

He calmly placed the Twilight Saint Spear in his hand.

Amidst the incredulous expressions of his classmates, he pointed the gun at the shrine maiden before him.

Then he spoke.

"But what about your resurrection ritual, your attempt to kill my family's girl, and that provocation at the hospital when you tried to attack me in front of me?"

"My shrine maiden! Or perhaps calling you by the name Tsukiyomi would make you more honest?"

Upon hearing Bai Ye reveal his true identity and his plans right away, the golden-haired shrine maiden's expression changed.

However, after being exposed by Bai Ye, the girl made no attempt to hide it.

He released the last bit of his faint divinity, his expression solemn as he stared at Bai Ye, who radiated immense faith and divine power, and at the holy spear in Bai Ye's hand that carried the aura of god-slaying.

The girl's divinity meant nothing to Bai Ye.

However, it seemed like they heard something out of the blue behind them, and they thought the two were the students from Class 3 who were suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome). If that happened, they would be in big trouble.

Of course, this excludes the girls who have been contracted by the daughters of the White Night. They are naturally oblivious to the protection of the Rozen Maidens.

However, the other students felt an immense gravity, as if an oppressive aura was pressing down on them, making it difficult to breathe.

The moment they felt the pressure from this divine aura, they also sensed the divine name that the aura represented.

"See you on a moonlit night!"

No... After hearing the name of such a great master, even if the students of Class 3 were incredulous, they could only kneel on the ground and believe it.

Was the seemingly childish conversation between these two actually true?

So, does that mean the mastermind behind my Class 3 curse is actually this legendary god who is one of the three noble children of Japan?

With such thoughts in mind, the students in Class 3 couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

After all, that's one of the highest beliefs in this country! How can we fight against that?

Didn't you see or hear the name of the mastermind behind this? Even the most radical Sugiura Takako was trembling with fear.

However, Akazawa Izumi, Misaki Mei, and the others, although they were also very unsettled when they heard the name Tsukiyo Mikoto, believed that Byakuya could protect them.

There's no particular reason; they just believe it in their hearts.

However, the students were unaware that the mastermind behind the powerful deity they feared was now actually feeling great fear of Bai Ye, whom they had always considered a classmate.

From their unseen perspective, Bai Ye's divinity and power of faith are at least ten times greater than Yue Ye's, and this is only something that is of little use to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye's true power, that domineering creation capable of distorting the rules, has not yet been truly manifested.

"Which deity is the protector?"

After sensing the terror that Bai Ye seemed to be a god, Yue Ye Jian was the first to ask about Bai Ye's true identity.

"Why is it that in this day and age, there are still living gods with physical bodies like you walking in the world? Haven't you encountered any limitations or corrections from the world's corrective forces?"

However, upon hearing the fear on the face of the girl who seemed to be the embodiment of Tsukiyomi's lingering resentment when she raised her corrective power, Byakuya smiled.

"So you refer to the world's will as the corrective force?"

"However, you've got it backwards. It's not that so-called corrective force you're talking about that's correcting my anomaly. Rather, it's that the corrective force you're talking about is currently terrified of being corrected by me!"

Upon hearing Bai Ye's statement, Yue Ye looked on with disbelief, coldly watching Bai Ye boast.

However, given Bai Ye's thick skin, he naturally wouldn't feel embarrassed by such a glance, and he simply continued speaking.

"And my identity... have you ever heard of God?"

"impossible."
