Kiyono Makoto briefly explained the situation of the official security forces:

"This kind of misuse of abilities, wantonly killing ordinary players, will seriously affect social stability, and the authorities will certainly not sit idly by."

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded slightly:

"It sounds like there's no problem, but we don't know the official contact information."

Futaba pressed her glasses against the bridge of her nose, her tone calm:

"Besides, if we report this to the authorities, our player identities will also be exposed."

Eriri's expression was somewhat hesitant:

"Perhaps I could ask my mom to tell her, but then she'd know I'm a player..."

Just then, a clear and pleasant voice rang out:

"You can tell your sister about this and let her contact the authorities."

Kiyono Makoto turned his head in surprise and looked at Yukino, whose pretty face was flushed for some reason:

"Won't this cause trouble for Yang Nai-nee?"

"Don't worry." Yukino Yukinoshita's pretty face tightened, her voice cold. "The Yukinoshita family is a prestigious family in Chiba Prefecture, and my sister is the next heir. She has enough connections and influence. Let her report it, and we won't worry about them investigating our identities... Besides, my sister already knew our player identities yesterday, so having her help is the best solution."

Seiryu Kiyono hesitated for a moment, then agreed:

"Then I'll leave it to Sister Yang Mi Nai."

"..."

After finishing their business, the girls took a short break.

Kiyono Makoto then stepped forward to stand in front of Yuzuru.

"...What are you doing here?"

Yuzuru Nishimiya was idly building a snowman when she saw Makoto Kiyono coming over. Her face flushed slightly, and she quickly transformed into Hakimi.

Seino Makoto lowered his voice:

"Of course we've come to demand compensation."

"......ha?"

"Yuzuru stole my innocence, take responsibility now."

"..."

Nishimiya Yuzuru was dumbfounded.

They actually made me take responsibility?

If you hadn't talked back to me from behind... how could I have broken you up!

We're already being lenient by not holding you accountable, yet you dare to turn around and blame us! How can there be such a shameless person in the world!

"Xinei!"

Nishimiya Yuzuru gritted her teeth and threw a punch.

This little sister has a very strong personality, like a prickly hedgehog, and will fight at the slightest provocation, completely unlike Shoko's gentleness.

*Smack*

Seiichi Kiyono gripped Yuzuru's small fist:

"Your hands are so cold, don't get frostbite."

"I don't need your help!"

"Let's get down to business."

Makoto Kiyono's expression quickly turned serious:

"Those who are drawn into another dimension are all corrupted by the aura of vengeful spirits. When was Yuzuru drawn into it?"

Let me go.

Yuzuru Nishimiya gave a soft snort, quickly withdrew her fist, turned her face away, and whispered:

"Around 11 p.m. last night... I couldn't fall asleep because I had a fight with my mom. I was thinking of getting up to organize the photos, but for some reason, I suddenly felt dizzy, and when I opened my eyes again, I was in that amusement park."

Kiyono Makoto asked softly:

"You didn't run around in the amusement park, did you?"

“No.” Yuzuru Nishimiya’s expression was rebellious. “I was just trying to leave the amusement park when I encountered a floating evil spirit with a human head on the way. It even asked if I could see me…”

Yuzuru Nishimiya's face was slightly pale, clearly still somewhat shaken.

"It felt so dangerous at the time, and then I suddenly remembered what my sister had said..."

After a pause, Yuzuru Nishimiya looked up at him:

"My sister told me that if I encounter unknown danger, it's best not to run around, but to stay where I am and wait for you and me to come and save me."

"Well done. When the situation is unclear, staying put is indeed the best solution." Kiyono Makoto nodded in approval. "Anyone else would have been running around like a headless fly."

"Hmph~"

Yuzuru Nishimiya gave a soft hum, her words tinged with disdain:

Don't praise me, I won't forgive you even if you do.

You're complaining, but don't be happy! Your lips are just curled up in a smile!

Kiyono Makoto pretended not to see and continued to ask:

"It's been over ten hours since yesterday. Have you felt unwell at all?"

Yuzuru Nishimiya hesitated for two seconds, then shook his head:

"It feels a bit chilly... Other than that, everything else is normal."

"It's best if you're alright." Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly, earnestly instructing, "If you feel unwell, remember to tell me immediately."

"......Know."

"What about the marks on your face? Were they from those two delinquents you encountered at the swimming pool?"

"None of your business." Yuzuru Nishimiya quickly turned her face away, quite concerned about her image. "I just tripped and fell."

"Alright then." Since his younger sister didn't want to talk about it, Makoto Kiyono naturally wouldn't force her. "Would you like me to treat you?"

Upon hearing this, Yuzuru Nishimiya instinctively covered her skirt, her face quickly turning red.

"Get out of the way, I don't need your help with the treatment!"

"..."

The break is over.

Kiyono Makoto led the girls away from the snow globe, said goodbye to his grandmother, and then they all left.

"I'm going back."

Upon reaching the street, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately said goodbye.

The soul swap only lasted a few days, but it was incredibly exhausting. Yukino Yukinoshita just wanted to go back to her apartment and take a nice bath to rest.

Kiyono Makoto looked at Yukino:

"How about we go back tomorrow and go to the Snowscape Sphere for training in the afternoon? Otherwise, it would be too much trouble, wouldn't it?"

Yukino's Frostflower skill is lost, so she can't very well shoot arrows in a room, let alone in public.

"...We'll talk about that later."

Yukino Yukinoshita's expression remained unchanged; her mind was made up. The girl's black hair and skirt fluttered gently in the sunlight, as if she had become one with the scenery.

"I'll tell my sister about the evil player when I get back."

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her hand to cover her mouth, yawned, and her voice was lazy and pleasant:

"Junior, you have to make it up to me properly at noon."

"What compensation?"

Kiyono looked over, puzzled.

"I didn't go to bed until two or three in the morning last night, and I rushed over early this morning to help out, so of course my junior has to make it up to me."

If you're not sleeping until 3 AM, you should look for your own problems instead of expecting others to make up for them!

Kiyono Makoto hesitated for two seconds, then simply said:

"It must be tiring for everyone to come so early. How about this, I'll treat everyone to barbecue for lunch."

"..."

The girls readily agreed.

"It's still early, just past nine o'clock." Kiyono Makoto glanced at his phone. "Let's go back first, and then we'll all train together in the snow sphere."

"..."

They remained silent the entire way.

After returning home, everyone quickly entered the Snowscape Sphere for cultivation.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Kiyono Makoto had just finished practicing his breathing technique when he suddenly saw a blonde girl with twin tails resting in the corner and remembered something.

Walking over to Eriri, Seino Makoto sat down next to her. Seeing a can of coffee next to him, he picked it up and found that there was still about half left. He simply tilted his head back and drank it.

"What are you drinking, you idiot?"

Eriri blushed slightly and glared at him shyly.

"The coffee was cold, so I reluctantly drank it for you," Kiyono Makoto said matter-of-factly. "Don't worry, I don't mind."

"What? I care a lot!"

Eriri spat lightly, her little tiger teeth peeking out from the corner of her mouth:

"Don't drink other people's drinks, you idiot!"

"I wouldn't drink a stranger's beverage."

Kiyono Makoto turned to look at Takumi, lowering his voice:

"But Eriri isn't 'just anyone,' she's someone incredibly important."

Upon hearing this, Eriri, who had been so aggressive just moments before, blushed instantly, her eyes darting around and avoiding her gaze. She lowered her voice:

"What nonsense are you talking about! Saying it's super important... It's disgusting!"

Kiyono Makoto smiled and looked over: "I misspoke, say it again."

"ha?"

Eriri couldn't help but steal a glance, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion.

Seino Makoto lowered his voice:

"To me, Eriri is an extremely, extremely, extremely important person."

The girl's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her heart raced involuntarily.

"Shut up! Who gave you permission to say such things!"

"Can't I say?"

"You can't say it without my permission!"

Yes, yes.

"..."

Kiyono Makoto finished his coffee in one gulp, let out a satisfied sigh, turned to look at Eriri, and asked softly:

"By the way, the second task should have refreshed by now, right? What are the task details?"

"The task requirements are extremely bizarre."
