Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly, her expression remaining calm and seemingly unmoved.
But she took the initiative to lean her soft body against Bai Yu's chest.
"Baiyu-kun... I haven't forgotten, the promise from that day still stands."
The girl raised her head, her starry eyes filled with tears, and her fair, snow-white cheeks flushed slightly as she boldly looked over.
The promise we made that day...
Bai Yu couldn't help but recall the happy things he and Kato Megumi did together backstage at the comic convention that day.
Lowering her head, the girl's small face was fair and beautiful, and her well-developed body showed off its graceful curves under the clinging fabric, making her appear slender yet curvaceous.
Everything was just right.
The seemingly ordinary, unremarkable female protagonist appears to be about to transform herself tonight, stepping onto the ladder of adulthood...
Shiraha reached out and embraced Kato Megumi's slender waist, taking the initiative to make his move.
Seeing the girl squint her eyes, revealing a touching little expression of distress, made it all worthwhile.
Silent all night.
When I woke up, it was already noon.
Although Bai Yu had already woken up early, she was still reluctant to get out of bed.
Holding Kato Megumi's soft body is truly satisfying.
"Bai Yu-jun?" The girl was somewhat helpless, a faint blush appearing on her fair face.
"Eri and Sora are waiting for us, we can't keep them waiting too long."
"Okay, I understand, Megumi." Shiraha lazily straightened up and helped Kato Megumi clean up the mess she left behind last night.
The girl recovered quickly. Although she still seemed a little uncomfortable, she was fine after taking an energy potion.
After carefully folding up the red-stained sheets, the two of them walked out of the room hand in hand.
"Good morning."
"It's already noon, and you're still saying good morning? You lazy pig!" Eriri flicked her ponytail, her big eyes immediately catching sight of the two's tightly clasped hands, and she immediately gave a low, dissatisfied snort.
Seriously, another one has fallen for it.
Bai Yu, that guy, didn't even come to see me last night....
She could have helped clean up the flashlights too!
"Good morning, Eriri, Sora." Despite being a woman for the first time, Kato Megumi wasn't particularly shy.
It remains the same as it always has been.
On the contrary, Qiong glanced at the girl with a peaceful smile with a hint of envy.
"Sister Hui, you are now my brother's woman."
"And... the blond guy too."
"When will I be able to become Onii-chan's bride?"
The young girl couldn't help but start to let her mind wander.
After having lunch together, the four of them left the safe house again, preparing to head to Achimira Hospital to find Alessa's true form deep underground.
Yukiteru Amano felt very tired.
Looking up, the sky was filled with a swirling, seemingly endless gray snow.
At first, he was happy to see snowflakes.
But after a fellow newcomer said that it was ashes transformed from the remains of a dead person, Amano Yukiteru almost vomited on the spot.
I wish I could get as far away from these disgusting ashes as possible.
A thick fog enveloped the surroundings.
No matter which direction you look, the view is always a vast expanse of white, which makes you feel inexplicably depressed.
In just a few days, the team of nine new recruits has suffered continuous losses, with four members having died.
The remaining five are all high school students.
Frustration, fear, dread, confusion...
A mix of emotions lingered in the hearts of the remaining people.
The atmosphere was so heavy it was almost suffocating.
"Damn God, when are you going to stop tormenting us?!"
In the team, a newcomer, who was on the verge of collapse under immense pressure, suddenly flew into a rage and frantically kicked at the "snow" on the ground.
"Fuck him, fuck him, fuck him!"
He kept cursing, seemingly trying to vent his inner pain.
Just yesterday, this high school student's girlfriend tragically died while trying to escape monsters from the Otherworld.
This caused his emotions to completely collapse.
The others watched the high school student's impotent rage with indifference, and no one tried to stop him.
This team, due to the deliberate arrangement of the main god, originally consisted of nine people.
However, they are not united; everyone has their own ulterior motives.
The reason they're still hanging around each other is simply to stick together for warmth.
"Wait...look, what's that?!" Suddenly, someone shouted in surprise.
The other high school students, upon hearing this, all looked in the direction their companions were pointing and discovered a grand cathedral shrouded in mist.
"Is that... the cathedral from the original story?"
As one of the few people who had read the original work, Yukiteru Amano knew very well that the people living in the church were not pious believers.
Instead, it was the cultists who burned Alessa alive.
However, one thing is certain: although these cultists possess the ability to be immortal, they are actually quite ordinary and have no real skills.
"Perhaps... I can persuade the cultists to let us live inside the church!" Amano Yukiteru's mind raced, and he quickly came up with a plan.
To be honest, he had had enough of this homeless and wandering life.
"Everyone, please wait a moment. I think we should move into the church." Amano Yukiteru reached out to stop his teammates who were about to leave, indicating that he had something to say.
"What are you doing? Don't you know that the people inside are a bunch of lunatics?" The others looked over in confusion.
This person must be out of their mind to actually move in and live with cult members.
"I... I naturally have my reasons."
Being stared at by so many people suddenly made the introverted Yukiteru Amano feel a little uncomfortable. He quickly voiced his deduction: "Don't you want to find a safe and stable location?"
"Wake up, those indifferent veterans won't care about us newbies."
"I have three reasons for risking entering the church."
"First, the church is the only safe place in the original story. You can hide inside to avoid those terrible monsters... Even Alessa couldn't do anything to the people inside. In the original story, you even had to possess the heroine, Rose, to enter the church."
"As you all know... the opening time of the Inner World is getting faster and faster. Before, it would open in two hours, but now it will open automatically in one hour. Our team only has five people, and we can't afford to lose any more."
Amano Yukiteru's words silenced everyone.
Clearly, more than one person agrees with his idea.
Seeing that things seemed to be going well, the boy pressed on, saying, "As long as we don't reveal the players' identities, those cultists might not attack us."
"Besides that, we can get safe accommodation, accumulate buffs, and... if we can persuade Bella, the leader of the cult, we might be able to go out with them to find supplies."
These three key points undoubtedly resonated with the newlyweds.
They are currently lacking supplies and urgently need repairs.
If there were a safe place where I could get another layer of buff, I believe no one would refuse.
After these days of exploration, the newcomers have figured out that the main god issues buffs based on the number of days they survive.
The longer you live, the more powerful buffs you accumulate.
"But what if we go to join the cult and Captain Bai Yu and his men find out? Won't that anger them?" one of the boys questioned.
The way Bai Yu killed Ze Yuezhi filled him with a deep-seated fear.
"Heh, they won't... Once we find all the clues, the mission will automatically complete." Amano Yukiteru patted his chest confidently: "Haven't you noticed? The team only has one clue left."
"Captain Bai Yu and his team will definitely go to the hospital today to find the last clue and persuade Alessa."
"As for the rest... we don't need to worry about it."
"Even if Alessa comes to the church for revenge, she will only kill her enemies... We little ants can just sneak out as soon as possible."
"That's a great idea."
"Hmm, it seems pretty reliable."
"I agree with Amano-san's plan."
After calming down and thinking it over, the group realized that Amano Yukiteru's words actually made some sense.
"I didn't realize you were so quiet, Amano. You're actually quite clever." The high school boy who had previously lost his temper looked at the boy with some surprise, extended his hand, and introduced himself: "I'm Hiroshi Fujino. Nice to meet you."
"Oh, please, please take care of me... Fujino-kun." Amano Yukiteru shook the other's hand, somewhat flattered.
His quiet and reserved personality has always made him an outsider in the team.
However, the tall and imposing Fujino Hiroshi was well-liked by others.
The sudden feeling of being respected by others made Yukiteru Amano unconsciously straighten his chest.
And so, the crowd quickened their pace and rushed toward the church.
But they didn't notice that a group of small, blood-red bats were perched on the treetops behind them.
"Welcome, friends from afar! It's been a long time since we've seen any newcomers."
Inside the church, the female leader, Bella, spread her hands and looked at everyone with loving kindness.
Looking at her kind face, it's hard to imagine that she is the mastermind behind the sacrifice of Aresa.
Amano Yukiteru and the others exchanged glances, feeling somewhat helpless.
Convincing this group of fanatical cultists is no easy task.
They voluntarily offered all their weapons and food, which earned Bella's respect.
"As you can see, Mrs. Bella, we are strangers from out of town. We hope you can take us in. The monsters outside are too terrifying." Amano Yukiteru said with a forced smile, making their situation sound incredibly pitiful.
"Oh, don't worry, you can stay here as long as you want."
Because of Aretha's malice, the cultists were forced to search outside for moldy food that only appeared once every three days.
Bella was clearly in a good mood after eating fresh food that she hadn't had in a long time.
"Phew, thank you for your mercy." Amano Yukiteru breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "Success! Now all we have to do is wait for the captain and the others to finish their mission, and then we can leave this hellhole."
But the next second, something completely unexpected happened.
The smiling woman in front of him suddenly pulled a dagger from her sleeve and plunged it into his chest.
Phew!
Scarlet splattered.
Disbelief filled Amano Yukiteru's eyes as he trembled, clutching his wound: "Why...why?"
Chapter 84: Everyone Gathers, the Women Meet, My Dear Sisters!
Bella stared expressionlessly at the boy who was slowly losing his life: "What do you mean, 'why'? I heard your entire conversation the moment you appeared in this area."
“How…is this possible?!”
Amano Yukiteru looked incredulous.
This group of people were nothing more than a bunch of defenseless natives.
In the original story, aside from gaining the curse of immortality, he did not acquire any other abilities.
