A group of people traveled through a strange world, and I was the only one who was not a refugee.

"Eh?"

Ichinose Honoki came back to her senses.

She looked at the silver-haired girl who was sitting on the bed with her body facing sideways towards her, and couldn't help feeling confused.

Sakayanagi...why does she seem to have suddenly become a different person?

But she didn't think much about it. After walking to the seat next to her and sitting down, she sighed:

"What Hayasaka said is absolutely right. Master Shin is very easy to get along with."

"Didn't do anything to you?"

"Why do you ask that?" Ichinose Honami was even more confused.

"nothing."

Seeing her like this, Sakayanagi Arisu knew that she didn't think that way, so he simply changed the subject.

Ichinose Honami would answer all the questions she asked truthfully.

Soon, the topic turned to the life and death grass transplanted to the windowsill of the room.

“As soon as I came in, I felt really comfortable, like it was spring instead of winter.”

"I heard from Qianhua that the Life and Death Grass is a priceless treasure in the market. It really lives up to its reputation."

"Sakayanagi, your body will definitely

It will improve.”

Looking at the black and white herb of life and death, Ichinose Hoba said with shining eyes.

In response, Sakayanagi Arisu just smiled faintly and did not respond.

Ichinose Honami didn't care and continued talking to herself, becoming more and more excited.

For example, in the future they may become extraordinary beings and come into contact with the magical power of this world...

Arisu Sakayanagi seemed to be listening quietly, but he was actually deep in thought.

Let’s not talk about the outside world for now and narrow the scope to the Akita residence.

This place was obviously very different from the previous world, the "Advanced Training High School" where she was supposed to stay for three years. There was no strong competitive relationship between her and others.

There is no need to use some methods...

Arisu Sakayanagi believes that she doesn't need to please anyone except Akita Makoto.

Noticing that her ears were quiet, she came back to her senses and saw Ichinose Honami's lost look. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hey... Sakayanagi, do you miss your family?"

Sakayanagi Arisu instantly understood what she meant, and after thinking for a moment, he said calmly, "I know your family situation, it's not good."

Hearing this, Ichinose Honami was stunned.

Sakayanagi Arisu looked at her and explained:

"My father is the chairman of Advanced Development High School. Gathering intelligence on future competitors is basic common sense."

"Wait..." Ichinose Hoba was a little confused.

Without waiting for her to continue, Sakayanagi Arisu shook her head and said, "That was in the past. There's no need to mention it again. If you're worried about your family, you don't have to."

"why?"

"Many people have disappeared before us."

"There is no shortage of powerful people among them. In order to prevent panic, the government will pay compensation to their relatives, which you can think of as hush money."

"Although it won't lift your family out of poverty, it will help ease the pressure of life for a while."

"That's good."

Perhaps it was Sakayanagi Arisu's calm tone, or perhaps it was the fact that what she said made sense logically.

In any case, Ichinose Honami felt relieved, reminded her that it was time for lunch, and left the bedroom with a smile on her face.

When the door closed, Arisu Sakayanagi slowly lowered his eyes.

Lies don't hurt.

………………

at the same time.

The underground training room of the security team.

Akita Shin looked at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who was covered in black slime and had been running in circles for a long time below him, and then he looked away.

"Master Hayai, do you intend to allow him to enter the Examination Bureau through an examination?"

"That's right." Hayai Takashi nodded. "Although we can use the nails planted long ago, there is a risk of being exposed. It's better to be safe."

The meaning is very clear. Hayai Takashi is not willing to make too much investment in Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

But this is also a reasonable thought.

After chatting for a while, Akita Shin left the headquarters.

The next recruitment exam of the Examination Bureau will be in the early spring of next year. It will be divided into three parts: written test, physical test and interview. This is almost the same for all official departments.

"Ok?"

Akita Makoto looked at the scene in front of him. Dozens of police officers were surrounding a store, their expressions either solemn or confused.

He did not come closer. After releasing his mental power, the whistling sound of wind and snow around him suddenly disappeared.

The middle-aged woman, who was slumped on the ground, muttered to herself absentmindedly:

"It's the snake god. The snake god took Yuji away..."

"Ma'am, please calm down."

"I saw it with my own eyes!"

"You mean, you witnessed the appearance of a god?"

"..."

Akita Shin frowned slightly.

The mental force touched the middle-aged woman silently, and the other party's mental state seemed to be greatly frightened.

Combined with the confusing sounding conversation above, it doesn't seem fake.

He checked the area with his mental powers and found no filth.

This shows that if it is a strange crime, the strength is unlikely to be higher than the regular level.

But if the so-called snake god is just a regular-level weirdness, can it disguise itself as a god?

Ordinary people are different from time travelers. They live in this land and should be aware of the strange characteristics of each level. This is also the contradiction...

Akita didn't think any more and left quickly.

It is not very common for such strange things to happen in the inner city.

But this is not the third outer city district, and since no one is in danger under his nose, Akita Shin will naturally not meddle in other people's business.

295. Earth Dragon Turns Over, A Premonition of Chaos

When he returned home, Akita Makoto had already forgotten the little incident that happened on the road.

"My Lord, the New Year's gifts are almost ready."

Hayasaka Ai placed a bowl full of rice and chopsticks in front of him, then sat down at the side.

"So fast?" Akita was really surprised.

“Everyone contributed, so it was completed quickly, and besides the gifts, there were other things that needed to be done one by one.

"

"My Lord, do you need to be checked?"

"No need, Xiao Ai, just do as you see fit."

Akita Shin smiled faintly and said that with the maid's professionalism, it would be impossible for her to make such an obvious and low-level mistake.

These are the main things, and they are not very important.

For example, when it comes to gifts, as long as the intention is there, that’s enough.

Seeing that the two had finished their business discussion, Fujiwara Chika, who was at a distance, suddenly raised her hand.

Whenever it’s time to eat, except for Akita Zhen who has a fixed seat, everyone else can choose a seat at will whoever comes first.

"My Lord, I have made a few more cards. Although I haven't asked the master to draw them yet, you can take a look at them first."

"Um... OK."

Before traveling through time, Akita really grew up watching the anime "Yu-Gi-Oh!" and had his share of chuunibana showdowns with his friends.

If Fujiwara Chika really had the perseverance to copy the Yu-Gi-Oh card game over, he wouldn't mind using it as a form of entertainment.

"Hey, that's it~"

Fujiwara Chika trotted over to him and handed him a few scribbled cards cut out of A4 paper as if offering a treasure.

Looking at his eyes, they were full of little stars of expectation.

Akita Zhen's gaze fell on the piece of paper in his hand.

Hayasaka Ai and Kasumigaoka Utaha on the left and right sides leaned over curiously.

Black magician, pot of greed, hexagram curse...

Just like last time, there is one each of monsters, magic, and traps, all of which are classic types.

A trace of nostalgia flashed in the depths of Akita Makoto's eyes, but when he saw the next card, he was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

【Super Dark Mage】

Type: Dark Magic

Effect: At the end of the turn when this card is used, the user wins the duel!

Now, not to mention Kasumigaoka Utaha who watched Yu-Gi-Oh when she was a child, even the maid who was unaware of the situation couldn't help but frown.

I ask you - is this reasonable?

As a "local", Akita Shin did not comment on this. He handed the cards with sketches and words on them to others for circulation.

After the girls looked at it one by one, Fujiwara Chika's little trick successfully brought her a round of condemnation.

"Hey... Chika, it's too unfair to make this kind of card." Kato Megumi opened fire first.

"You guy, don't do this recklessly. Are you planning to suddenly take out this kind of cheating card when you play with us next time?" Yumiko Miura followed closely behind.

Hikigaya Komachi also joined the battle: "Sister Chika, this is too much!"

Seeing that others were about to condemn her, Fujiwara Chika felt something was wrong and took two steps back, saying loudly:

"Hashidou Sack, maybe my memory is wrong."

"Don't give me that crap. Dark Magic is a magic card that looks weird no matter how you look at it. Is there really something wrong with my memory?"

"Listen to my explanation first."

"..."

It was supposed to be a quiet dining place, but because of the siege launched by the girls on Fujiwara Chika, there was a bit more cheerful atmosphere.

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at her sister's slightly raised lips and felt a little distressed. Of course she knew Yu-Gi-Oh, but she had never watched it.

Am I considered a child without a childhood?

Not only her, but also Yuki's mother, Yoshiaki's monthly fee group 694936①③⑤Miya Kaguya, and Sakayanagi Arisu, did not understand why Fujiwara Chika and the others were discussing so happily.

Akita Shin, who was successfully amused, noticed this scene and was about to say something when he was suddenly stunned and stiffly uttered three words.
