“Ah-choo…”
The girl yawned and said lazily, "There's no such thing as a supernatural event. I just haven't been getting enough sleep, and I've been watching too many cat videos."
“Once I go outside and take a walk, and then get a good sleep, I'll be fine.”
“Oh, right. I didn't have lunch today, so I might order a little extra…”
As she spoke, she subconsciously wanted to lick her hand, which she had used to cover her mouth while yawning.
Just as she was about to open her mouth, she suddenly became aware of her action.
Thankfully, Machida Sonoko was walking ahead and didn't notice.
Whew…
Kasuga no Sora quietly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly lowered her hand.
“Alright, alright, order whatever you want!” Machida Sonoko was both speechless and relieved.
It was already this late, and she was still thinking about food.
But then she thought, at least Sora had the appetite to eat.
"You said it, Sonoko-san!" Sora's eyes lit up slightly.
"I did say it!"
Machida Sonoko sighed and pulled Sora into the restaurant, walking quickly.
They entered the restaurant.
A soft, bright light shone on them.
A melodious piano melody floated through the air.
Sora and Machida Sonoko instantly felt their spirits lifted and their minds become clearer.
They didn't know that the demonic aura on them subsided and slowed its erosion of their bodies upon entering the restaurant.
“This is a nice atmosphere, I like this restaurant.” Sora said brightly.
Machida Sonoko, seeing her energetic state, was secretly surprised.
Could it really just be that she hadn't been getting enough sleep, and all she needed was a walk and some sleep?
“Let's go, Sonoko-san, let's meet this 'master'.” Sora's lips curled into an amused smile.
After entering the restaurant, the bright, clean illusion had lifted her spirits.
The smell of food in the air made her stomach rumble.
Sora was certain.
What was happening to her was definitely not a supernatural event, and there was no such thing as a supernatural event in the world.
She simply had a disordered autonomic nervous system due to her reversed day and night schedule.
“Really?”
Machida Sonoko began to doubt as well.
Sora's appearance clearly showed her usual spirit.
But they were already here, and it wasn't good to turn down Sayo's kindness. They should go and meet this 'master'.
“My surname is Machida, I have a reservation…”
Machida Sonoko confirmed the reservation information with the waiter and was then led to their reserved table.
They walked slowly.
From a distance, they saw Hirazuka Sayo and Higashi no Tadashi.
‘So young?’
Machida Sonoko and Sora thought the same thing.
They exchanged glances and silently decided to just go through the motions and not believe anything the 'master' said.
Because Higashi no Tadashi was too young.
He looked sixteen or seventeen years old, completely the age to be in high school.
Was someone this young a 'master' who dealt with supernatural events?
Neither of them believed it.
Even if they were trying to deceive people, they should at least invite someone in their forties or fifties!
But outwardly, Machida Sonoko and Sora didn't show any suspicion or distrust.
They went over with smiles to greet them.
“Sorry Sayo, traffic was bad on the way, we’re late.” Machida Sonoko was the first to greet them.
“No problem, no problem. I just got here too.” Hirazuka Sayo responded enthusiastically, pulling her arm and guiding her to a seat. “Come sit down!”
Kasuga no Sora also gave Higashi no Tadashi a polite smile.
“My name is Kasuga no Sora, it’s nice to meet you.”
“My name is Higashi no Tadashi.” Higashi no Tadashi nodded slightly. “It’s nice to meet you.”
A simple self-introduction.
Sora gathered her skirt and gracefully took a seat, her posture straight, her figure slender and full.
It was a figure that a high school girl shouldn’t have, explosive good looks.
“I heard that Kasuga no Sora-san has encountered trouble?” Higashi no Tadashi spoke casually, his gaze sweeping over her.
It seemed like he was observing Kasuga no Sora, but in reality…
Higashi no Tadashi was looking at the demonic aura on her.
Whoosh!
Being watched by Higashi no Tadashi, the aura on Sora, full of spirit, shrank back, deeply hiding itself within Sora's body.
Outwardly, there was no sign of it.
As for Machida Sonoko, the faint aura on her simply disappeared.
‘Interesting.’
Higashi no Tadashi narrowed his eyes slightly.
The different manifestations of the aura on the two of them gave him something to think about.
Moreover, this aura was too full of spirit.
It was even more intelligent than the high-level evil spirits he could suppress, as if it had reached the level of a 'god' that could conceal its own aura.
“Yes, because of my irregular sleep schedule, I've been having nightmares, and I’ve developed some bad habits.” Sora smiled awkwardly and said, “Although I don't think anything of it, Sonoko-san is worried and afraid that I might be haunted by something bad, so she asked for your help, 'Master'.”
As she spoke, Sora's wine-red ruby eyes showed a curious gaze.
It seemed like she was looking forward to Higashi no Tadashi, this master's, performance.
“Kasuga no Sora-san looks very healthy.” Higashi no Tadashi smiled faintly, not mentioning the word 'supernatural' at all.
“Right, it’s strange.”
Hirazuka Sayo also cast her gaze over, surprised. “Kasuga no Sora-san, your blood is clearly very good, you don’t look like you’re haunted by anything at all, why…”
She couldn’t help but look at her friend, Machida Sonoko.
And then she was even more surprised.
The demonic aura on her friend had disappeared!
Why was that?
Hirazuka Sayo was somewhat confused.
“Not haunted?” Kasuga no Sora frowned slightly, feeling surprised as well.
She had thought that this so-called 'master' would use all kinds of tactics to deceive, defraud, and beguile, then extort money…
Even covet their bodies!
But Higashi no Tadashi didn't mention it at all, only saying that she was healthy.
“It’s a false alarm then.” Machida Sonoko was relieved to hear this, carefully looking at Sora's appearance. She laughed happily, “That’s good, that’s good.”
She was terrified for a while.
Her friend Sayo's seriousness today made her even more terrified.
Was there really a supernatural event?
Thankfully, it was just her own imagination. Sora was now spirited and radiant, completely unlike someone who was being haunted by something!
“It's alright then, let’s order, just as a way of getting to know each other as friends.” Machida Sonoko cheerfully picked up the menu and flipped through it.
‘I see…’
Kasuga no Sora smiled on the surface, but her eyes flashed slightly, her heart filled with a cold laugh.
‘Seeing that I look healthy, you’re changing your tune to say there’s nothing?’
‘No wonder you’re a master at a similar age to me!’
‘This wit and eloquence is truly outstanding!’
Kasuga no Sora felt that she had seen through everything and looked at Higashi no Tadashi with a hint of disdain.
There is no such thing as the supernatural in the world.
