The weather in Neon City was gradually turning cool, and the sweltering summer was slowly fading away.
The chill from a sudden autumn rain seemed to instantly dispel the lingering heat of the afternoon.
It was even a little cold.
On the road.
Since only he and the little angel, Mahou, came and went from the "In-Between Bookstore", there were only two umbrellas in the shop.
So now, on the road, Aozaki Ai had one umbrella for herself, while Kaguya Shinomiya was squeezed beside An Wu.
It was perfectly possible for Aozaki Ai and Kaguya Shinomiya to share an umbrella, but due to that eerie and chilling feeling, Kaguya Shinomiya chose to be closer to An Wu.
Aozaki Ai was also afraid of the eerie and chilling atmosphere, but what could she do? Kaguya was her young mistress.
Would she dare to compete with her young mistress?
The bookstore was not far from An Wu's rented apartment, only a few minutes' walk. However, during these few minutes of walking together.
Kaguya Shinomiya, leaning against An Wu, kept her head lower and lower.
That subconscious human instinct to seek safety and warmth made her want to cling even closer to An Wu, but her upbringing as a wealthy young lady made her highly rational!
But it was this contradictory feeling that made the still-love-naive Kaguya Shinomiya increasingly flustered, her heart beating faster.
She wondered if this feeling would be considered dependence.
Or was it perhaps love at first sight?
...
Soon.
They arrived at the rented apartment.
Due to the rainy weather, those who could, stayed at the office for overtime, while those who could return home early naturally did so, except for those who went out to seek thrills.
Therefore, the elevator was not crowded or waiting, and it quickly brought the three of them to their designated floor.
"Hmm?"
An Wu's hearing was excellent. As he entered the building where his rented apartment was located, he could faintly hear two female voices in his room.
As he got closer, arriving at the designated floor, the voices became clearer.
One of the girls' voices was naturally the little angel Mahou, while the other sounded more mature...
An Wu frowned slightly.
He quickened his pace without a word.
Kaguya Shinomiya and Aozaki Ai behind him seemed to sense An Wu's unusual behavior and did not speak.
They simply quickened their pace and followed.
...
The key turned, and the door opened.
The first thing that caught their eye was the little angel Mahou sitting in the living room, and a middle-aged woman who looked imposing but spoke harshly.
"What a trashy place."
"You and that person are exactly alike, so disgusting."
"Whatever, you'll be out of my sight after you graduate, so there's no need to say anything more."
The woman's voice was laced with arrogance, an innate arrogance and disdain that came from a superior looking down upon an inferior.
At the same time.
The woman seemed to notice the sound of the door opening and turned her head.
She saw An Wu opening the door.
"Heh."
"You're all the same, you're really just like that person, not even a..."
She didn't finish her sentence.
But it was definitely not anything good.
"You..."
After mocking the little angel Mahou, the woman turned to look at An Wu behind her, as if she wanted to mock him too.
But before she could speak.
She felt a supremely dangerous aura descend upon her!
As if if she dared to speak the words she wanted to say next, she would forever remain here!
...
An Wu didn't say anything.
He just looked a little downcast as he took off the "Pi Xie Pendant" that he had hung on the balcony that morning.
This thing really was useless, it could ward off filth, but it couldn't stop filth.
He threw the thing to Kaguya Shinomiya.
Then he looked at Aozaki Ai.
"Make her leave."
"As for the compensation, I want this thing to kneel here and apologize tomorrow."
An Wu could easily crush this woman to death on the spot, or use some unknown means.
Make her disappear without a trace.
But then he remembered that this woman seemed to be Mahou's mother in the original story, the one who gave birth to Mahou after a night of [redacted], but who had not fulfilled her responsibility as a mother in the slightest.
Not a shred of shame, yet she dared to show up and mock him—Shiina Sayo.
And.
There were many ways to make a person deeply recognize their mistakes, and death was only the lightest of rewards.
Taking away her arrogant reliance would be more fitting.
Of course.
The main reason was that An Wu found her a bit dirty and didn't want to deal with such things himself.
...
"Yes......."
Aozaki Ai subconsciously nodded, as if it were a reflex.
She couldn't muster the courage to refuse An Wu at all.
And the feeling An Wu gave her now was completely different from before in the bookstore, as if he were suddenly a different person!
Shaking her head.
Aozaki Ai directly dragged Shiina Sayo out of the rented apartment.
Kaguya Shinomiya followed cautiously.
But she also remembered An Wu's words.
They would take care of it.
...
For a moment.
The rented apartment seemed to fall silent again.
Only Mahou watched Shiina Sayo being dragged away, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say.
"I......"
The little angel Mahou had only just opened her mouth slightly when she felt herself being embraced in a warm hug.
...
An Wu didn't say anything either.
He just gently stroked Mahou's head, burying her in his chest, as if comforting her in this quiet but gentle way.
He had been paying attention to all sorts of other things, he actually forgot about this matter for three months.
If he had remembered sooner, perhaps this wouldn't have happened...
...
Time passed bit by bit.
The heavy rain outside gradually stopped, but An Wu's chest was wet.
But it was good this way.
It was better to be able to vent her grievances than to keep them bottled up inside.
Mahou seemed to fall asleep in An Wu's arms, her breathing steady, sleeping soundly.
Perhaps it was because she had found a true haven to lean on...
...
"Creak——"
An Wu placed Mahou in his bedroom, covered her with a blanket.
Then he gently closed the door and walked out.
He sat down on the sofa.
He let out a long sigh.
"Hopefully Mahou will be in a better mood tomorrow."
An Wu stretched.
After sitting on the sofa for a while, he habitually opened the "All-Worlds Girl's Mutual Aid Association" chat group.
As soon as he opened the group chat.
He saw Erica's declaration of ambition!
...
【Crimson Lion】："Sisters! Kusanagi Motoharu has already arrived in Sardinia! I guess the start of the plot isn't far off!"
【Crimson Lion】："Wait for me!"
【Crimson Lion】："I'm going to stream the god-killing spree later!!!"
