After seeing Gokou Ruri off, Asakura suddenly remembered, while tidying up the Association Clubroom, that he seemed to have forgotten to check what the new task was.

"The recent tasks have been quite simple.

I hope it stays this way…"

He mumbled as he checked the newly refreshed task.

[Task: Resolve an extraordinary event]

"Emmm…"

Asakura stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Was this task difficult? It didn't seem difficult, as it didn't specify any particular event; any extraordinary event could be considered a way to complete the task.

But the problem was, after transmigrating to this world, besides the extraordinary events he himself caused, the only supernatural event Asakura had encountered was the one with Gokou Ruri.

Of course, if encountering ghosts also counted as a supernatural event, then there might be a chance to complete it.

After putting the last item, which the cat doll had messed up, back on the shelf in the corner, Asakura wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He did want to let the Snake come in and help with the physical labor, but if so many Snakes suddenly appeared in the old school building, it would itself cause an extraordinary event and a commotion.

Asakura didn't want to attract a bunch of media and supernatural enthusiasts with their long lenses and short lenses all day—what if they actually captured something?

After finishing the cleaning, Asakura snapped his fingers with satisfaction, and a door, somewhat out of place with the Clubroom's style, squeezed out from the wooden plank seams on the wall.

Asakura walked in, looked at the empty stone room, and after a moment's thought, he selected the Great Blessing in his mind and set it up in this room.

The next moment, the huge round table immediately occupied about forty percent of the room's area, but even so, it was still much more spacious than the Association Clubroom.

Asakura felt he could find some chairs to place around the round table.

Immediately after, his gaze fell on the pillar of light on the round table.

Originally, this stone house had no windows, and the only light source was a faint luminescence from a moss-like substance on the ground and walls, which gave the entire room a gloomy and cold feeling, making it more like a dungeon than a normal room.

But at this moment, the presence of the Great Blessing filled the entire room with a light golden glow, and a sacred and warm image overflowed from every ray of light in the air, completely dispelling the previous gloom and coldness.

Even without doing anything, just quietly basking in the light, Asakura felt his heart seemed to calm down a little, and the warm feeling even gave him the illusion of soaking in a hot spring, a comfortable feeling like rebirth permeated from his skin to his limbs.

However…

"...My magic power hasn't increased."

It seems there's no way to replenish magic by using it as a battery.

Asakura was slightly disappointed.

Today, he replenished his magic power by absorbing the magic power Gokou Ruri applied to the doll, but honestly, the efficiency was quite poor.

Still using yesterday's magic power counting method as a unit, yesterday he absorbed more than five hundred units of magic power just by having his wound licked, but today, after more than an hour of hard work, the total amount of magic power obtained was less than ten units.

As expected, bodily fluid (mucous membrane) contact is the best way to replenish magic power.

It's a pity that he only has one power bank, Gokou, right now. If the number increased, perhaps charging wouldn't be so difficult.

At this time, he noticed that the words "Special Room: Not Enabled" on the system panel had now changed to "Special Room: Blessed Round Table." It seems the existence of the Great Blessing has been recognized.

"When the Chiba Magic Society members increase in the future, it can be used as a meeting room."

Asakura mumbled as he left the Blessed Round Table room, because staying inside was too comfortable, just like snuggling in bed on a cold winter morning, giving a warmth and satisfaction from the bottom of his heart. He was afraid that if he stayed too long, he wouldn't want to leave.

Before returning home, Asakura also deliberately went to the train station and some other places with supernatural rumors, but unfortunately, he found nothing even after wandering until late at night.

The next day.

"Hoo-hoo..." Asakura, walking down the corridor, let out a big yawn.

"I wanted to ask during class today, did you not sleep yesterday?" Yanami asked curiously.

Because Asakura said, "Today, I'll show you our club's activity room," she happily followed along.

However, in Asakura's opinion, this girl was less happy about having a place for club activities and more happy simply because she had a place where she could openly eat snacks at school...

Before Asakura could answer, the girl, holding her fair forehead, stopped Asakura, who was about to speak: "No need to say... I know boys have many unspeakable difficulties. It's said that you use more toilet paper than us girls, after all, it's puberty... Gaah?!"

Before she could finish her pretentious words, Asakura interrupted her speculation with a hand chop: "Don't say such stupid things, I just went out for a night walk. Have you seen Chiba at 4 AM?!"

"4-4 AM...? You actually stayed up that late?" The girl asked in shock.

"I haven't seen it either," Asakura said.

"Hey!"

"Ah, we're here." Asakura stopped, holding back Yanami, who wanted to rush forward and attack with her small fists, and said.

Yanami then stopped her attack, puffing, and said in a completely unthreatening 'fierce' tone: "Consider yourself lucky!"

"People who say that almost always get beaten to a pulp the next time they appear," Asakura said nonchalantly.

"Guh..."

The girl made a sound like a knightess, and then her gaze fell on the doorplate: "Service... Club?"

After her pupils dilated in shock, Yanami immediately took a big step back, covering her chest with both hands, and said with a brave facade but inner trepidation: "My, my, my pure nicebody with a graceful figure cannot be offered to just anyone!"

"'Nicebody' and 'graceful figure' are redundant," Asakura said calmly. "Also, don't add strange settings to yourself in the chaos."

"That's not the point, is it?!" the girl retorted.

"Don't worry, the Service Club has nothing to do with our Chiba Magic Society. It's a club established by others. We're just temporarily sharing the same activity room with the Service Club due to some unexpected circumstances."

Asakura said earnestly.

"I don't think Asakura-kun should be saying that." Suddenly, the door of the Service Club opened from the inside, and a girl with beautiful black long hair appeared sternly: "We, the Service Club, are the victims."

"There she is, this is the president of the Service Club." Asakura whispered to Yanami in a hushed tone, loud enough for Yukino Yukinoshita to hear.

Yanami's expression, which had been one of admiration upon seeing Yukinoshita, suddenly turned to surprise.

"The Service Club does not imply any or improper relationships," seeing the other person's expression, Yukino Yukinoshita naturally knew she had misunderstood, so she explained with a cold face: "We are just here to solve the needs of others..."

As a result, Yanami's expression became even more meaningful.
