"Write 460 milliliters."
"Ding~ Detected Hayakawa Aki's shocked emotion, the system rewards 20 points."
Hearing this quantity, Hayakawa Aki didn't react at first. She held the pen in her hand and began to write.But as she wrote, she pulled her hand back, and said in a half-joking tone,
"Renji… Renji Kuroda… do you really… really know what 460 milliliters means? That's almost enough to fill an entire bottle of mineral water!"
Hayakawa Aki's voice trembled slightly. Hearing the exaggerated quantity of 460 milliliters, she simply couldn't control herself.Her already slightly flushed cheeks now became as red as a ripe apple, and she couldn't help but start a mental storm.
"The legendary…""Man…""Is that how it is…""Are the things taught by Man's Religion… not fallacies… are they all true…""Speaking of which, what's going on… I feel like my body… seems… seems a bit off…""What's wrong with me…""My body… is so hot… I feel… so thirsty… I need to drink… I need to drink…"
Renji Kuroda nodded. "Yes, I am 100% certain. Just write that."His tone was firm and confident; he was absolutely sure about this number.
Speaking of this aspect, Renji Kuroda truly displayed extraordinary talent from a young age. In the modern world, whenever night fell and his family was out and hadn't returned,he would always quietly embark on a mysterious journey of exploration alone, measuring various data of his little Renji.
These data were one of the few things that Renji, this shut-in, could genuinely feel proud of from the bottom of his heart.Whenever he saw the latest anime from the hidden world, he could always perfectly immerse himself in the plot, becoming the blonde male lead and experiencing that immersive feeling.
"Ding~ Detected Hayakawa Aki's nervous emotion, the system rewards 20 points."
A crisp, nervous system prompt suddenly sounded in Renji Kuroda's mind.He instinctively looked at Hayakawa Aki beside him, only to find her with her head lowered, her two long and perfect legs pressed tightly together, trembling slightly.
"Hey, Hayakawa Aki… are you, are you okay? Are you alright?"
Hearing Renji's voice, Hayakawa Aki looked up and gave an awkward smile.
"Eh…? Ah, yes, yes, I'm fine, really. I was just thinking about what the situation outside is like right now, and who that silver-haired woman carrying a head is…"
Hayakawa Aki spoke haltingly and incoherently; Renji couldn't even make out several of the words she said.That silver-haired woman, she must be referring to Quanxi, right?
But regarding Quanxi, Renji remembered he had already introduced her to Hayakawa Aki before. Could she have forgotten so quickly?
Renji mused inwardly. Not only that, but as early as entering this white paper space, Renji had already briefly explained the entire sequence of events to Hayakawa Aki.Hayakawa Aki had visibly sighed in relief at the time.
"The situation outside has been resolved, there's nothing to worry about now. Why is Hayakawa Aki suddenly worrying about outside matters again?"
If it was just ordinary worry… that would be understandable… after all, that's Hayakawa Aki's personality… gentle and considerate, but…
Renji noticed Hayakawa Aki's expression…
"She's not overthinking things, is she?"
He asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Eh? Ah, I already said, I'm fine, I'm fine. 460 milliliters, right? I know, I'll write it down now."
Hayakawa Aki waved her hand and hurriedly wrote down the answer.
"And then the last question. Alright, alright, Renji Kuroda, don't mind me. Quickly look at the next question."
Renji looked at the next, and final, question.
"Sixth Question: After a man's little man becomes a Wu Jujin, do you know where the little man goes next?"
"This question… I don't need to say it, do I? Hayakawa Aki, do you know how to use that limited purple stick? Actually, a man's little man has the same function as that thing."
Renji was a bit embarrassed.
Hayakawa Aki didn't speak, just nodded gently, but her pretty face grew even more flushed, redder than an apple, as if it was about to drip water, the blush extending all the way to her earlobes.
Renji looked at Hayakawa Aki's shy appearance now and also felt an unbearable itch in his heart.
After filling it out, another line of text appeared on the white paper.
"Please confirm submission."
Renji confirmed one last time, indicating it was okay to submit, and Hayakawa Aki checked the box.
...
Arai hurriedly questioned the public officials present, wanting to directly contact Makima to find a way to escape.There was no time. Inside the white paper, Hayakawa Aki and Himeno, who were still alive, were bleeding from their noses. This was not a good sign.
But even as a member of the Special Division Against Devils, she didn't have Makima's contact information—so how could anyone else?
"Damn it! I should have talked to Miss Makima during the gathering!"
On the other side, Kobeni also nervously guarded the table, staring intently at the white paper spread on the desktop.She could only see Renji Kuroda and Hayakawa Aki inside the white paper talking to each other, but she couldn't hear any sound.
But after Hayakawa Aki finished writing something on the table, the situation changed, and the boundary of the space was broken.Hayakawa Aki suddenly saw Kobeni outside the white paper and reached out her hand.
"Arai! Over here! Hayakawa Aki is out!"
Kobeni shouted excitedly, turning to call Arai, who was still asking around. Together, they pulled Hayakawa Aki out of the white paper.
"Hayakawa Aki! No… nosebleed?! Paper… I have paper!"
Kobeni quickly pulled out tissue paper from her pocket and handed it to Hayakawa Aki, but Hayakawa Aki only took the tissue, not using it immediately, and turned to look at the table.Renji Kuroda's upper body had already squeezed out.
Kobeni and Arai stepped forward, also wanting to pull him out like Hayakawa Aki.
"You don't need to help me, I can do it myself."
Renji braced his hands on the table and climbed out, wiping the nosebleed flowing from his nose. He looked at the bewildered Kobeni and Arai and thought to himself:
"I need to be careful from now on, try to avoid physical contact with them. Even if I have to, it must be through clothes."
"Th-that, Renji! Tissue paper!"
Kobeni handed the tissue paper to Renji, who had just stood steady.
"Thank you."
Renji took the tissue paper, casually wiped his nosebleed, and quickly scanned his surroundings, his gaze settling on the white paper that trapped Himeno.
Just then, a public security officer rushed over in a hurry.
"Bad news! Gang members are causing trouble in Sixth Street! A devil has appeared! Requesting backup!"
"Eh…?! But…"
Kobeni looked at the public security officer, then at Renji.
"It's fine, go. It wouldn't be good if there were casualties among ordinary people. I'll handle things here."
Kobeni and Arai exchanged glances and ran off with the public security officer.
Hayakawa Aki also wanted to follow, but Renji stopped her. He loudly waved at the medical personnel, signaling them to come over.
"Hayakawa Aki, you should still go to the hospital. You can leave the matters over there to Kobeni and Arai; they're very strong."
Hayakawa Aki shook his head in refusal, saying he had no problems other than a nosebleed.
"Don't be like this. Inside the white paper, your body is damaged according to a time ratio. The nosebleed indicates that the damage has already begun. You go first; I'll go when the time comes. This is not the time to act tough. Leave Himeno to me."
Hayakawa Aki gritted his teeth, knowing he couldn't help much besides worrying, and only then agreed. He was carried onto the ambulance and driven away.
Renji took a deep breath, continuously chanting in his heart, hoping that the conceptual ability displayed by this white paper could truly be like the rules in an examination hall, where all 'cheating' behaviors are only explicitly forbidden after truly entering it. This could be considered a loophole in the rules.
If he failed, Renji would have no choice but to spend all the points he had accumulated for a long time to buy some skills that also possessed conceptual abilities.
As Renji chanted, complex magic circles gradually appeared around his body. He cast his magic, 'Skill: Current Severance,' onto the white paper.
"It's a success!"
Skill: Current Severance successfully cut an opening in the white paper space, and Renji jumped in.
Inside the white paper, Himeno was anxiously pacing around the table when Renji Kuroda suddenly fell from the air.
