This is not the date I wanted.

"Meow……"

(I actually called out!)

Shidou covered his mouth with one hand, holding back the words he wanted to shout out.

(Although I heard from Mengyue that turning into a child would cause low blood pressure, I didn’t expect it to be so...)

Meng Yue curled up in Shidao's arms, as if she had found a warm nest. She rubbed her little head gently a few times, with a happy smile on her face.

"Shidou...I like it the most..."

It’s so cute!

The delicate and boneless body was as tender as a bud about to bloom, and it felt very light and soft when held in the arms. A faint fragrance emanated from Meng Yue and lingered on Shidao's nose, creating a strong contrast with the reliable and casual appearance of an ordinary girl. Her innocent sleeping face, like an angel, seemed to have a magical aura that attracted Shidao's attention.

(Calm down, Gokawa Shido. You are not someone with any special interests. You are just temporarily overwhelmed by a kind of contrast cuteness. It is true that Mengyue is very cute now, but as Yoshina said, the minimum is three years, the maximum is death penalty. Yes - that's right, the minimum is three years, the maximum is death penalty, the minimum is three years, the maximum is death penalty, the maximum is three years, the maximum is death penalty, three years is a big profit, the death penalty is not a loss!)

Gollum—

Following his line of sight and looking down, from the somewhat loose collar of the pajamas, he could vaguely see the girl's delicate collarbone and her undeveloped breasts. The images were clearly imprinted on his retina. Shidou swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but stretch out his right hand...

"It's not a loss at all!"

Give yourself a slap.

"Huh... so dangerous."

Shidou heaved a sigh of relief. If he hadn't used a bit of rationality to slap himself in time, he might have already walked on the road of crime before the Seven Sins destroyed his humanity.

"Hmm... Shidou?"

After Shidao's loud slap, Mengyue gradually woke up from her sleep.

"Good morning... And what's on your face? Is that the equivalent of accidentally having a lucky pervert incident with someone?"

Looking at the red palm print on Shidao's face, Mengyue asked helplessly.

"No. Just a little self-warning."

Shidao laughed dryly and shook his head. Seeing Mengyue's somewhat puzzled look, Shidao quickly changed the subject.

"Well, get up quickly. Breakfast is ready. If you feel sleepy, wait until you finish eating before going to bed."

"Okay, I see... Oh no... I overslept."

Realizing that she had accidentally overslept, Mengyue scratched her head in distress, jumped out of Shidao's arms, and prepared to brush her teeth, wash her face, and then go eat.

"call……"

It seems that Mengyue didn't remember what happened just now, Shidao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Let's not talk about his own embarrassment, just the scene of Mengyue calling daddy and meowing when she was half asleep. Thinking of the girl's violent attitude when she was caught playing with cats in a cat ear suit, she wanted to use physical means to erase her memory. Shidao decided to take everything that happened just now into the coffin.

Speaking of which, why is Mengyue so sleepy today?

Shidou suddenly thought of this question and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Is it because he didn't sleep well yesterday like me? Or is it...

Shidou suddenly remembered that when he came back from the real world last night, Mengyue did not wake up at the same time as Shidou, but woke up after he and Kotori communicated for a while.

Although the differences may be due to individual differences, it is also possible that Mengyue was still in the virtual world at that time.

According to Mengyue at the time, the time ratio between the real world and the virtual world was about 1:1000. At that time, it took about 40 seconds from the time when he and Kotori talked to Mengyue waking up. If converted, Mengyue may have stayed in the virtual world for about half a day longer than Shidou.

"In half a day...what did Meng Yue do in the virtual world?"

Looking at Mengyue who was still a little dazed on the sink, Shidao couldn't help but think worriedly.

06 Witch Hunting (Part )

==============================

"You're going to school?"

After finishing breakfast, Meng Yue looked at Shidao who had already changed into school uniform and was ready to go out, and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Yeah. After all, Yamabuki was dragged into this for no reason because of me. So I want to check the situation."

Shidou nodded. Although there is the matter of Nanashi now, and there are a lot of little lolita at home who need to be taken care of, but if he doesn't confirm the other party's safety, he still can't feel at ease.

"It's just a quick check. I'll be back early at noon. I'll leave Tohka and the others in your care for the time being."

"Well, I see."

"Ah——wait a minute Shidou."

Just as Shidao was about to leave, Mengyue suddenly called him.

"What's matter?"

"Yeah. If you calculate the time, I think it's about time for Nanashi to act. If something happens in school and the clothes of the person you are staring at suddenly disappear, or if an unfamiliar woman suddenly walks towards you with the police, remember not to hesitate and run away immediately before causing a commotion."

“…Keep it in mind.”

After imagining the scene that Mengyue described, Shidao's forehead was slightly sweaty and he nodded solemnly.

"Then, I'm out!"

"Bon Voyage."

After seeing Shidao off, Mengyue returned to the living room, only to see Tohka and the Yamai sisters, who had completely ignored the obstruction of others and changed into the children's casual clothes that Reine had prepared for them, looking ready to go. Mengyue was silent for a moment, then said calmly.

"...Let me ask you, you guys don't want to go to school with Shidou, do you?"

"Ku——As expected of you, you are my compatriot. You saw through my plan so easily."

"Surprised. Does Meng Yue have the ability to read minds?"

"Yeah——I want to study with Shidou."

"I'm talking about you..."

Meng Yue looked at the three helplessly. Not to mention that three children who looked so similar to the three students who had originally asked for leave came to school on the same day, it would definitely cause quite a stir. Shidou's reputation in school was not very good to begin with, and with Nanashi, a spirit who was always ready to cause trouble, hiding in the dark and observing Shidou, what exactly would happen in the school... Well, Meng Yue felt that she could predict the future.

(As expected, the Seven Sins issue can’t be delayed any longer. It needs to be resolved as soon as possible.)

While taking great pains to explain the situation to Tohka Yakuya and Yui and keep them at home, Mengyue thought secretly.

——————————————————I am the dividing line for transferring scenes————————————————————————

At this moment, a private plane from Heathrow Airport in the UK landed at Chengtian Airport in Japan.

A middle-aged man with neat grey hair slowly walked out of the plane cabin, followed by a beautiful secretary with long light blonde hair.

"By the way, if we travel back and forth so frequently in such a short period of time, we will get tired. Otherwise, Alan, why don't we just live in Japan permanently?"

Seeing Westcott shrug his shoulders and say such words, Allen's eyes twitched slightly and stared at him with dissatisfaction.

"Ike, I think you should give me a more appropriate explanation. After something like that happened, you ran to the development department with a carefree look on your face to do something. You left all the trouble of cleaning up the mess to me, and after I finally waited for you to come out, you suddenly told me that you wanted to come to Japan."

Looking at Allen's resentful eyes, Westcott shook his head helplessly and spread his hands.

"Damn, this is a huge injustice. I can swear that this is the first time I have started a serious job since thirty years ago."

Westcott said this in an exaggerated tone. To be honest, it was surprising to hear Westcott, who seemed to pursue pleasure in his daily actions, say something about serious work. Allen felt that if the other directors of DEM heard this, they would probably drop their jaws in surprise.

Alan sighed helplessly and asked.

"As a result, is there a solution to the problem of hackers restraining magicians?"

"Well, I don't know. After all, there is no one to test this thing on. It is still unknown whether it is really effective."

Despite saying this, Westcott's face showed no worry or uneasiness about the possibility of failure.

"To be honest, I haven't felt this interesting for a long time. It's like solving an almost unsolvable math problem. As a researcher, my blood seems to be burning with excitement."

If we were to say what the biggest problem standing in Westcott's way right now is, it's not Ratatoskr who has been fighting with his company for many years, nor is it the group of directors in his own DEM who may explode and stab him in the back at any time, but the most dangerous elf in human history - Liang Yi Meng Yue.

"Alan, what do you think is the biggest threat Hacker poses to us?"

Hearing Westcott's question, Allen frowned slightly and answered.

"Is it her hacking skills that completely overpower magicians?"

“That’s part of it, but it’s not all of it.”

Westcott curled his lips into a meaningful smile.

"Hacker - no, the most terrifying thing about Liang Yi Meng Yue is her observation of the whole situation that is far superior to that of ordinary people, her decisive action, and her extremely calm rational judgment without losing her sensibility. She can often notice all kinds of inharmonious signs before a crisis occurs, and through prior preparations and accurate judgments on the spot, she can minimize the crisis caused by the incident or even resolve it. To be honest, if she were a human, she would definitely be an excellent magician."

"really……"

Although somewhat reluctant, Allen nodded. Apart from other things, in the incident with the diva a month ago, Meng Yue made the choice to kill Weiscott directly the moment she met Allen and Weiscott, forcing Allen to give up the defense against hacker intrusion to protect Weiscott, and instantly pulled the situation in his favor. Although the world's strongest self could easily solve this problem, it must be said that Meng Yue was different from other elves.

"I'm afraid that when she saw us reverse Princess, she already understood our plan to use Gokawa Shido as the 'key' next."

The deeper the bond between Gokawa Shidao and the elves, the more dependent the elves will be on Gokawa Shidao, and the greater the despair they will feel when they lose him. Finally, he reaches out to touch the power that exceeds his limit.

Currently, Westcott is waiting for the opportunity to maximize the use of this key.

Westcott didn't think that an elf who was being hunted by a magician and would come up with the idea of ​​cracking the display device to fight back would foolishly enjoy his leisurely daily life after knowing his purpose, giving himself the opportunity to strike.

"Then what should we do?"

"Well, no matter how strong the fuse is, it will eventually break. I've been waiting for thirty years, so I still have some patience."

Westcott shrugged without any pressure. After passing the airport security check, he looked at the various decorations in the airport that were popular because of Halloween, and seemed to suddenly think of something and said.

"Speaking of which, according to the news from AST, the witch has not yet been confirmed to have reached the critical point of disappearing after appearing near Tiangong City. Whether it is a test of this experiment or to see the performance of the newcomers. This witch hunt is a good choice."

Walking to the exit of the airport, Westcott looked at the girl with short light white hair and a cold expression like a machine standing at the door, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Then I, Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott, as the executive director of DEM, welcome you to join DEM, Tobiichi Origami."

07 Witch Hunt (Part )

==============================

"what……"

On the way home from school, Gokawa Shido had a slight headache, so he held his forehead with his hand and sighed.

No, it's not quite right to say "after school". To be precise, Shidou ran away during school.

Just over ten minutes ago, when Shidou walked into the classroom, he heard Ai and Mai Mii telling each other about how they were abducted by aliens. Although this was not true, Shidou felt relieved after confirming that the other party was safe.

...that's weird.

When Shidou was dealing with Tenmachi who came to talk to him, a flash of light suddenly flashed outside the window, and then Tenmachi suddenly turned into a naked body, and the school uniform on his body fell to the ground like a piece of cloth.

Needless to say, Shidou could understand that this was a trick played by Nana Sin.

(Mengyue, could your premonitions not be so accurate?)

Although he couldn't help but feel both amused and helpless in his heart, thanks to Mengyue's prior warning, Shidou did not panic. Instead, he cooperated and imitated the others as he watched Tenmachi scream, pretending to be completely clueless.

Afterwards, many students were turned into ** by the light one after another. Noticing that Nanashi might choose to attack the people he looked at and talked to, Shidao decisively walked out of the classroom before everyone realized this, and after sending a text message to Teacher Xiaozhu that he had something to do and left early today, he hurriedly left the school.

I heard that later on, a rumor spread in the school that "there is an alien who can emit a stripping beam lurking in the school." Shidou said that he was glad that it was not a rumor that "Shidou Gokawa can emit a stripping beam."

"Hey, isn't this the child of the Gokawa family?"

Just as Shidao was walking on his way home, Mrs. Mita, who lived not far from his home, suddenly called him.

"Ah, hello Mrs. Mita. What's going on?"

Shidou nodded politely, while secretly keeping an eye out for the light of Nanashi stripping in the dark.

"Isn't today a school day? Why are you back so early?"

"Well, there are some things at home..."

Shidao was a little nervous and perfunctory. Fortunately, the expected stripping light did not appear, and Mrs. Mita did not doubt it and nodded in understanding.

"Yes, there are indeed many things to do when moving suddenly."

"move place?"

Hearing what Mrs. Mita said, Shidao showed a puzzled expression.

buzz-

The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated, and Shidao quickly opened it and saw that it was a text message from Mengyue.
