Chapter 3 - The Fear That Shamed Yukino Yukinoshita

Saeko Busujima: "60 is already a lot. I only got 58 points, but it seems I don't have ability enhancement."

Camera Girl: "Wuwuwu, I only have 60 points too."

Goddess of Water: "Why do I only have 10 points? I'm a water goddess!"

Apple Pie: "@Ren Kazama, can you tell me who created this Chat Group?"

Ren Kazama: "I was just invited in and then appointed as an administrator. As for the group owner, I haven't seen them."

Saeko Busujima: "A Chat Group created by an unknown entity that connects all the myriad worlds—an interesting notion. But how can we determine that we are not from the same world as the others?"

The others remained silent, clearly pondering the same question. After some thought, Ren Kazama spoke.

Ren Kazama: "I do know some simple information."

Ren Kazama: "Saeko Busujima, a student at Fujimi Academy on Earth; Exusiai, from the Terra Continent, a Latran, and a Penguin Logistics employee; Aqua... a useless goddess."

Ren Kazama: "As for you, @Camera Girl, to be honest, you look a bit like March 7th. I'm really not sure."

Camera Girl: "Hee hee hee! This Girl is March 7th! I mean, am I that famous in other worlds too?"

Ren Kazama: "I might be an exception. March 7th is a passenger on the Astral Express and also a Trailblazer."

Ren Kazama: "That's all I'll say. Don't ask me where the information came from. The situation is quite complicated, and I'm too lazy to explain. You can discern the truth of the information yourselves."

After speaking, Ren Kazama immediately slipped away. Are you kidding? Stay and wait to be asked questions? He couldn't possibly tell them that they were characters from anime and games. He was too lazy to explain or think about such questions. He would only reveal a little information. It's better for people to have some privacy. If someone suddenly told you, "I know everything about you," wouldn't you find it terrifying?

Most importantly, who knows if the other party's world is truly as described in anime and games. In such matters, the less said, the fewer mistakes.

The problem he was currently pondering was instead about his own world. For example, how can evil spirits be completely eliminated? Having killed many evil spirits, he clearly realized that evil spirits are inexhaustible. Because killing evil spirits is considered interfering with Doomsday, he can gain points for every evil spirit. Therefore, he has always been diligent in killing evil spirits. It was precisely because he killed so many that he understood: evil spirits would appear endlessly. In this area, he had killed an unknown number, and new evil spirits would always appear.

Well... this is an unsolvable problem.

"Forget it, time to sleep!"

When encountering an unsolvable problem, lying flat is always the right choice!

"It's so strange, I can't talk about the Doomsday Chat Group at all."

March 7th propped up her small face in distress. She wanted to share the matter of the Doomsday Chat Group with everyone, but no matter what method she used, she couldn't say it out loud.

Exusiai also experienced this situation.

"Exusiai, what's wrong with you? You're acting so strange today."

Croissant, the bread-loving person, poked Exusiai's waist.

"I..."

She wanted to speak but stopped, then wanted to speak again. Exusiai slumped weakly onto the sofa. Having a secret she couldn't tell was so uncomfortable!

*****

Everyone else conducted their tests in their own ways. Ren Kazama, on the other hand, slept until dawn.

He got up and got dressed. Brushed his teeth and washed his face. Boiled an egg and drank a cup of hot milk. Then he leisurely went to school.

*****

Comprehensive High School, Second Year, Class 1, was his classroom.

"Ohayo! Ren Kazama-kun."

As soon as he sat down, Yui Yuigahama, who sat at the next desk, greeted him.

"Ohayo! Yui."

Ren Kazama was accustomed to responding to her in the same way.

"Hehe."

Yuihama smiled happily. Greeting Ren Kazama every day was the beautiful start to her day.

"Poke poke."

He was poked twice from behind.

"What's wrong, Megumi?"

Ren Kazama turned around and looked at the bob-haired girl, Kato Megumi. Kato Megumi didn't mind Ren Kazama calling her by her first name. She pointed her pen tip to her back-right and said in a flat, quiet voice: "Someone has been staring at you."

"Hm?"

He followed the direction of her gaze.

"!!!"

The gaze fixed on him instantly wavered and darted away.

"Oh."

It was Yukino Yukinoshita. Just one eye contact with Ren Kazama, and Yukino's ears and cheeks involuntarily turned red. The scene from yesterday naturally came to her mind.

"What did you do to Yukino Yukinoshita?"

Although it was a question, no curiosity could be seen on Megumi's expressionless face.

"Nothing, we just happened to meet yesterday."

With that, he stopped looking at Yukino Yukinoshita and instead praised Kato Megumi: "Your hair clip today is very pretty."

"I don't think it's any different from usual. Oh, the teacher is here."

Kato Megumi pointed to the door. Ren Kazama immediately turned back; he was a law-abiding citizen and a disciplined good student!

After Ren Kazama turned around, Kato Megumi raised her hand and touched her pink hair clip, a faint smile playing on her lips.

'Ren Kazama-kun always notices me.'
