So, the remaining three people temporarily went together and headed towards the tram.

"Kukuku... The night is about to fall, and my power is getting stronger. Evil King True Eye Master, you are very brave to accompany me in this situation!"

"The Evil King's True Eye Envoy is an existence that controls the power of darkness with a righteous heart. I am never afraid of darkness. You underestimate me."

"Really? No wonder you used an instrument to cover your other eye. It turns out that's the source of your power."

"Hmph, have you been discovered? This is not the vision of an ordinary vampire. You are indeed worthy of the name of the True Ancestor."

Amidst such verbal exchanges and strange looks from many ordinary people, Izumi Hanegawa embarked on his journey home.

After the tram arrives at the station, it’s the last stretch before home.

"What do you think of them, Kobato?"

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, he asked curiously.

"The Greedy Witch, Mori Summer, the Thunder Hammer User, and the Evil King True Eye User... well, they are quite capable and can barely be called allies of my half body. Especially the Evil King True Eye User, I feel he will be a bit tricky, and he may become my rival in the future."

Xiaojiu's impressions of everyone flashed through his mind and he made comments.

"That is to say, everyone has your approval."

He smiled with satisfaction and reached out to ruffle his sister's golden hair.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was half a month later.

During this period, nothing special and memorable happened in Shuchiin Academy.

The Far East Magic Society also fell silent, as if they were living a peaceful life. During club activities, everyone bickered and occasionally fought, and the bond between them was steadily improving.

"Izumi-chan, let's go eat ramen together!"

"can."

"Oh, don't forget to bring Xiaojiu with you!"

"I agreed to this just because of Kobato."

"Wow, what a true answer..."

One Saturday, Izumi Hanegawa answered the phone and received an invitation from Chika.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately told his sister about it.

"Great! Bro!"

Xiaojiu happily gave him a hug.

Night gradually fell.

The three of them met at the ramen restaurant where they had eaten together last time.

When you walk in, you can see several faded landscape paintings hanging on the walls, bringing a nostalgic atmosphere, while the air is filled with the aroma of rich sauces and noodles, whetting people's appetite.

Several shop assistants were busy at the counter, deftly manipulating the noodles with their hands, and the steaming soup was bubbling in a large copper pot.

"Guest, do you have any requests?"

After seeing the trio seated, a clerk came over to inquire.

They repeated it exactly as they had done the last time.

While the three were waiting, the topic of the customers' conversation caught his attention.

"Have you watched the news? There seem to be more and more animal attacks recently, and the cause seems to have not been found yet."

“Could it be a rabies outbreak?”

"Impossible! I haven't heard of it in years... If this thing spreads widely, it would be too scary."

"If it's an unknown disease, wouldn't it be more terrifying?"

"That's true... I hope we can find the reason as soon as possible."

Results of the 97 Incident Investigation

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Izumi Hanegawa listened to their conversation with a thoughtful look on his face.

If it is really rabies, it is not threatening at all. After all, although rabies seems to be very deadly, few people die from it in more developed countries.

It would even be acceptable if we could confirm that this was an infectious disease that we had never seen before.

The most frightening thing is that you can’t find out the reason at all. This is the most terrifying thing.

"Qianhua, I remember you seem to have a dog."

Suddenly, he turned and asked.

He had heard Qianhua mention this during occasional conversations during class breaks.

"Izumi-chan, are you talking about my Pace?"

Fujiwara Chika subconsciously stretched out a finger and placed it on her chin, as if thinking.

She also heard the conversation and quickly explained, "My Pace doesn't have any tendency to attack others. On the contrary, he's been sleeping more recently and even eating more than me... And he won't even go for morning exercise when I ask him to! So I have to exercise alone!"

The girl pouted her pink lips, looking very cute.

"Is that right?"

He was not surprised to get this answer.

As the celestial change approaches, the impact is huge, but the impact on each species is slightly different.

However, this incident is obviously not that simple and needs to be investigated.

"Have the beasts started to get restless? They have sensed it, too. The new world of our dreams is right before our eyes!"

Xiaojiu waved the two chopsticks in her hand and spoke passionately.

Apparently, her excitement actually came from the ramen that was about to be made.

"hehe."

Seeing this, Izumi Hanegawa laughed.

"Although I don't understand, I feel that Xiaojiu looks very happy... Then I wish that the new world you long for will come soon!"

Fujiwara Chika clapped her hands, tilted her head slightly, and sent her blessings with a smile.

"Guest, your ramen is ready."

The waiter brought the already cooked ramen and placed it on the table.

"It smells so good~!"

The tempting aroma coming from the nose tip instantly made the two girls overjoyed and couldn't wait.

"Then, I'm starting!"

Chika Fujiwara styled her hair into a single ponytail, put her hands together to perform etiquette, and then used the old way of eating mini ramen to taste the delicious food.

This time, Xiaojiu also tried the same way of eating, and his eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new world.

"Humans occasionally come up with some fantastic ideas!"

After eating and drinking, the three of them walked out of the ramen restaurant.

"Today is so satisfying. I had a lot of fun playing with everyone in the afternoon, and we were able to eat ramen together in the evening... I have never had such a happy day before."

Satisfied Fujiwara Chika stroked her round belly and expressed her contented thoughts.

“This kind of day is really nice.”

Izumi Hanegawa answered casually and looked up at the sky.

"Qianhua, it's getting dark. Let me take you back."

The neon lights at night are particularly bright, but beneath this beautiful night, there seems to be unspeakable risks hidden.

"Will it waste Izumi-chan and Kobato's time?"

Fujiwara Chika did not agree immediately, but hesitated for a moment.

"It's okay, right? Xiaojiu."

He asked his sister for her opinion.

"Kukuku, consider this as a reward for your high-level sacrifice. I will protect you for a while."

Xiaojiu raised his head and laughed evilly a few times.

"Oh well."

Fujiwara Chika didn't refuse.

After taking a five-minute train and walking for another five minutes, the three of them finally arrived at the Fujiwara family's residence.

"Goodbye, Izumi-chan, and Kobato."

Fujiwara Chika smiled and waved at the two people under the street light.

Izumi Hanesegawa nodded, and when he looked down, he saw that his usually shy sister also raised her hand slightly.

It seems that because they are both ramen lovers, Xiaobato's favorability towards Chika has increased significantly.

This is a good thing, maybe Chika can become Xiaojiu's first real friend.

……

After saying goodbye to Chika, Izumi Hanegawa took his sister's hand and headed towards the train station.

After a while, he and his sister walked out of the tram station near their home.

Just after walking a distance.

"My half, are you going the wrong way?"

Xiaojiu looked at the unfamiliar roads and slightly dilapidated paths around him, feeling hesitant.

Although she had not been to many places, she was still familiar with the routes near her home. Moreover, when her brother took her home before, the scenery in front of her was also very different. The surrounding area was obviously not well maintained, and the number of street lights was significantly reduced.

"Man, it's...too dark in here."

In such a dark world, Xiaojiu's little hand nervously clenched her brother's hand.

"What's wrong, Xiaojiu? Don't you always say 'darkness is my only friend'? Why are you so scared? Hehehe..."

A sinister laugh emanated from Hanegawa Izumi's mouth.

"Brother, you...! Are you possessed by a ghost? Don't, don't scare me!"

Xiaojiu looked up at her brother's terrifying smile and was so frightened that she spoke in a trembling voice.

"You said he was the progenitor of vampires, but you're afraid of a mere ghost? Hey."

He looked at the timid appearance of his good-for-nothing sister, sighed, and stopped teasing her.

After hearing this, Xiaojiu understood that his brother was just trying to scare him.

"Ugh, my... my half! You actually used such a despicable method to intimidate me! No, I won't pay any attention to you!"

She said with an aggrieved expression.

"I'm not threatening you. I just want to train Xiaojiu's courage. But it seems that there is no hope. You are already too scared after just getting here. In my opinion, your title of vampire progenitor is totally unworthy of you."

Instead, Izumi Hanegawa spread out his right hand and said with a look of contempt.

"Nonsense! I'm not scared! I'm just exposing my half's conspiracy!"

Xiaojiu immediately became unconvinced again.

"Well, how about you continue to follow me deeper? Go around from there and go straight for another 2,000 meters, and you will almost reach our home."

Faced with her brother's invitation with a dangerous smile, the sister gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement.

It’s okay, it’s just a dark road, there’s nothing to be afraid of!
