Miss Planeswalker, are you free for romance?

I can only think on the bright side.

After all, her nickname had already spread in the cabin.

'Ms. White Peach.'

"Do you need me to apologize?" Nagini said to Laura, "This is the master's character. Now you know what kind of mentality is needed to invite her to the Dragon Triangle."

Laura…

He was not angry. He smiled and said something ambiguous, "Now I know why everyone likes her," then he pulled Nagini through the door and walked in.

No need to think, the whole room was howling with wolves and ghosts.

'God!'

'Look who's here.'

'Our Lady Peach!'

'I must say, the flashlight showed things it shouldn't have, little Laura.'

Pretending to be angry with a stern face was no longer possible. Like a balloon with a hole in it, Laura slapped Jonah's back viciously. Then, with a smile, she took the two glasses of beer handed to her by Green, gave each to Nagini, and clinked glasses with them.

thump—

"cheers!"

Shoulder against shoulder.

"Cheers, to Lara Croft, the One Who Lived!"

The smiling faces formed a circle.

"To the insect-buster, Miss Nagini!"

Nagini, Laura and Mori Yuesha were surrounded in the middle.

"Cheers to our story king - Little Forest!"

Beer, juice, and black coffee collided with each other, and the liquid was stained with the excitement and happiness of these humans who survived the disaster. It surged back and forth in the cup wall like waves cut by the tip of a ship, and poured into every surviving and clear esophagus.

“Ouch!”

"Cheers! Dragon Triangle, here we come!"

Chapter 103 Insidious chain preconditions

——Kasumigaoka Utaha——

……

"Record (Preliminary Ⅰ)"

"I'll give you a secret."

"Pleasure, gain."

"--Finish--"

……

"Chain Record (Preliminary II)"

"Having successfully completed Preliminary Ⅰ, you have initially gained recognition from certain beings."

“Now, please give Him more.”

"Observe and witness a secret event, and in the process, your actions cannot be discovered."

"Note: The 'secret event' you observe must be deeply related to what you have offered (Prerequisite I)."

"Note: No one other than you can know the secret."

……

A trap.

Not completely, but at least I've gotten halfway there.

Chain front...

Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned.

This was information she had never gotten at the ball - even she guessed that the people at the ball might not be aware of this strange ritual prerequisite: chaining.

It’s a bit...too insidious.

To achieve the first prerequisite, it seems very simple:

Anything, just a secret.

Suppose the secret she wrote with that pen was:

"God exists."

Now, it is impossible to complete Pre-II.

'Deep Connection' - Where did she go to observe a secret about 'the existence of gods in the world'?

Even if there really is such a guy, with her level of involvement, she must ensure that 'no other participants except herself know about it' - the most likely thing that awaits her is death.

Insufficient ability...

It cannot be observed.

Unable to observe...

The pre-conditioning cannot be completed.

There is no hope of promotion.

This will be an infinite loop.

——Her promotion ceremony will get stuck here.

Kasumigaoka Utaha doesn't know what the consequences will be if she fails to complete the "preliminary stage". Even if there are no consequences, it is difficult for her to accept herself staying in the "contactee" stage forever.

So insidious.

Especially the last sentence of Preface I: 'please', 'harvest' - it makes people want to invent or greedily write down bigger and more bizarre 'secrets' to obtain the so-called 'harvest'.

That is the reward.

Once you do this...

Pre-II will never be completed.

Is this really something that gods or illusory rules can do?

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed.

Fortunately, I am not that greedy.

Although it's not that good.

Because what she wrote was, well…

Mori Tsukisa.

"Mori Tsukisa likes women."

Then, he scribbled out 'female'.

Changed to... 'female'.

Perhaps it is the novelist's obsession with the accuracy of the text, or perhaps it is... some speculation.

Anyway, somehow, this was the secret she 'offered'.

——She has to thank herself.

If she really wrote about the secrets of some dead ritualists who "cannot distinguish the appearance of women" that she had decided on before, now, in order to complete the pre-part II, she would have to deal with those guys at the dance party - to find out the secrets of the Fire Society and observe and witness a secret that is "deeply related" to him, and the only non-participant who knows about this matter is herself...

Something that is almost impossible to accomplish.

It will still get stuck.

In comparison, "Mori Yuesa likes females" is at least much less dangerous.

Then, observe and witness a secret that is 'deeply related' to it...

She had a vague idea of ​​what to do.

If the goal is...

"Speaking of which, did you know that someone went traveling recently?"

High-backed Western stools, soft cushions, and figures whispering in pairs.

Spacious interior.

The chandelier is dim but exaggerated and gorgeous, and the air is filled with a light mint scent that is not pungent.

This is the first time that Yukino Yukinoshita has participated in a "Masquerade" event, and it is also the first time that she has used a mask as her face and entered the other side of the world she has longed for.

"Cat" - this is the code name she gave herself.

"I have nothing to say to that person." With a stern face, the girl, wearing the relic of 'Homasha' (the mask), sat quietly in the chair - by the way, since Homasha's seat was next to Kasumigaoka Utaha's when he was alive, there would of course be no changes after the mask changed hands unless the person concerned requested it.

"So your lingering, miserable and sad relationship is over?"

"Your paranoia has worsened again. Tao Xin, don't forget our agreement." Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her voice and looked at the groups of people around her: "Help me get what I want."

Ritual object.

"Hmm?" Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned her arm on the long tabletop, chuckled and said, "That depends on what price you can pay. At least everything is going well for now, isn't it?"

all the best.

Perhaps because personnel changes are common, no one seemed surprised that Mr. Homa was replaced by Ms. Cat. After opening the door and entering the ballroom according to Kasumigaoka Utaha's instructions, only two or three people came up to ask a few questions.

Mainly asking about the cause of death of Huo Jianshe.

'I don't know what you're talking about.'

'I just picked up this mask.'

The cold words dispersed many of the onlookers. The others seemed to have no relationship with the Fire Society either. They said a few sarcastic words and left her alone. It was a loose organization and no one was obliged to explain it to her. If it wasn't for Kasumigaoka Utaha's previous instructions...

all the best?

"It's only temporary. And I still think you shouldn't talk to me so familiarly. A new person joined right after that person died, and he's very familiar with you. It's easy for people to think that you were the one who did it; it's even easier for people to guess our relationship in real life."

Ah.

Still really young.

Yukino.

The bright red nails flicked, and a charming voice came from under the mask made of countless peach hearts: "You don't think everyone is a fool, do you?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha pointedly swept her index finger under the table.

Their eyes met and then quickly looked away.

"The replacement of the mask represents the death of the owner. In recent times, I have been almost inseparable from Hunmasha. It is impossible for me to have no idea that he was in trouble - and it is impossible for me not to know you. Yukino-chan, there is no need for you to worry so much."

"Being able to kill the Origin level, what do you think everyone will think of Miss Heart's strength? Moreover, the ability of the organizer has a price, as we talked about before."

Two people analyzed the organizer of this organization.

If they were to manufacture and distribute masks, and create a so-called "small subspace" that was isolated from the real world and large enough for them to hold meetings, then the price of having such a capability would definitely not be light.

If he could really see the face behind every mask...

To be honest, it's not that Kasumigaoka Utaha is dark. If it were her, she would have threatened these people with their "real identities" to get them to do things for her - whether it was money or power.

But…no.

The organizers seem unable to do this.

Then, his ability is questionable.
