"Anon, what about our promised united front?"
Takamatsu Tomori silently looked over.
Although she didn't know what "having a party" meant, she naturally knew what a "main wife" was.
"I… I only thought about it, I didn't plan to put it into action…"
Chihaya Anon felt extremely guilty.
Damn it!
She had originally thought the truth-telling punishment would be easy, but now she realized that the truth she couldn't choose was too terrifying!
Nagasaki Soyo's voice was gentle as she calmly said:
"Anon, you have to work hard."
Togawa Sakiko, however, lowered her eyes, her tone indifferent: "Let's end this topic here… Kitahara-kun, continue with the questions."
"Alright."
Kitahara Makoto's expression was as usual as he continued to the next question.
This was the advantage of self-disclosure in public.
If it weren't for the self-disclosure two days ago, and the narration suddenly exposed the secret of him and Anon kissing, a love triangle would have instantly erupted!
There was nothing much to say about the next two questions. Besides the evil spirit imp who couldn't answer, the four girls were all extra careful, fearing a shameful execution.
Under such circumstances, the answering session quickly passed.
"It's finally over..."
Chihaya Anon covered her chest and let out a long sigh of relief, while the evil spirit imp next to her looked utterly lifeless. It couldn't answer a single question and was continuously punished, making its body much more transparent.
"Huh?" Chihaya Anon suddenly exclaimed softly, "I can move my body?"
The originally dispirited evil spirit imp looked up blankly, then suddenly realized and quickly got up, wanting to escape.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Kitahara Makoto had been laying the groundwork for so long, just waiting for this moment.
If he let the evil spirit imp escape, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself!
Leap Punch!
Kitahara Makoto suddenly erupted, throwing a punch.
Although there was still the option of subduing the opponent as a mount... but back at the amusement park, he had eliminated its sister, so the hatred level must be super high. Even if he took it as a mount, the probability of betrayal would still be very high.
Since that was the case, of course, he would cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
With the bonus from his Dutiful Exorcist physique, Kitahara Makoto's punch hit the originally illusory and untouchable evil spirit imp.
Unexpectedly, this evil spirit imp seemed to be quite strong and wasn't blown apart by one punch; it was merely pierced through.
But it wasn't a big problem.
If one punch wasn't enough, he would just add another.
As Kitahara Makoto was about to deliver the finishing blow, a ferocious look suddenly appeared on the evil spirit imp's face. Immediately after, its entire body rapidly swelled and exploded with a bang, and a cold, dark aura instantly filled the entire room.
"What's going on?"
Kitahara Makoto frowned slightly, and a bad premonition quickly surged into his heart.
Desperate self-destruction?
Or was there another motive?
"Finally, I don't have to be entangled anymore..."
Nagasaki Soyo covered her chest, feeling completely relieved and relaxed.
"Eh, why did the lights suddenly dim?"
Chihaya Anon's voice was puzzled.
Kitahara Makoto quickly looked up towards the ceiling. The lights were still on, but the light in the room was rapidly dimming.
"Let's leave first!"
Kitahara Makoto frowned and quickly got up.
The bad premonition grew stronger.
Togawa Sakiko lightly furrowed her delicate brows and said softly:
"Kitahara-kun, what's wrong?"
"Something's not right..."
As he spoke, the surrounding darkness grew thicker, and the originally bright lights quickly dimmed to the extreme.
"It's too late..."
Seeing the darkness Attack from all directions, Kitahara Makoto's heart sank. He only had time to grab the backpack from the sofa before being swallowed by the darkness.
The next second.
The dim, cold light returned to normal.
But Kitahara Makoto and the four girls had disappeared from the living room.
...
Cold.
Wet.
Suffocating.
"Splash—"
Kitahara Makoto opened his eyes and found himself in the middle of the ocean. Cold, wet seawater surged, carrying him up and down.
"Damn it, where did you bring me?"
Kitahara Makoto spat out a mouthful of seawater, then suddenly glimpsed the sky above his head, and his breathing abruptly stopped.
What met his eyes was a sky like a Monet oil painting, indistinguishable between dusk and dawn. Countless colors slowly flowed, finally converging and merging, together forming an indescribably bizarre sky.
"Otherworld?"
Having entered the Otherworld many times, Kitahara Makoto was naturally familiar with the iconic oil painting sky above his head.
"Why did we enter the Otherworld?"
Kitahara Makoto took a deep breath, and his intuition quickly locked onto the self-destructing evil spirit.
"It must be related to that evil spirit."
Kitahara Makoto had no time to think about the specific situation right now. He quickly scanned his surroundings and soon saw the four girls scattered not far away, also floating in the waves.
"Good, they're all here..."
Kitahara Makoto breathed a sigh of relief and swam directly towards Soyo and Sakiko, who were closest, shouting loudly at the same time:
"Let's gather first, I just saw a small island in the distance."
Hearing Kitahara Makoto's voice, the originally panicked girls seemed to find their backbone and quickly gathered.
"Kitahara-kun, why did we suddenly appear in the sea?"
Togawa Sakiko's tone was both puzzled and nervous.
"It's the Otherworld!" Nagasaki Soyo swam over, her pretty face slightly pale from the cold seawater. "There's no mistake, the sky above is definitely the Otherworld."
"It is indeed the Otherworld." Kitahara Makoto exhaled lightly, "It should be that evil spirit that was blown up that dragged us into the Otherworld. Don't worry about the specific reason for now, let's get to the island first."
Togawa Sakiko nodded in agreement:
"That's right, we need to get to shore as soon as possible. The seawater is too cold, and our bodies will quickly lose temperature."
"..."
As they spoke, Chihaya Anon and Takamatsu Tomori swam over together.
After the five converged, Kitahara Makoto briefly explained the situation, then led the girls and swam together towards the distant island.
Fortunately, in Japan, swimming is a compulsory course from elementary school to high school, so basically no one can't swim. In Japan, if you say you can't swim, it's as unbelievable as a Chinese person who can't do an Asian squat or crack melon seeds.
"My bathrobe feels so heavy after getting soaked." Chihaya Anon complained while swimming, "I feel like I can't swim anymore."
Before entering the Otherworld, everyone had just eaten pizza, and they hadn't had time to change their clothes, still wearing bathrobes. The fluffy, soft bathrobes, having absorbed water, now became incredibly heavy.
"We don't know what might be in the sea, so we must get to shore as soon as possible." Kitahara Makoto suggested, "You can take off your bathrobes and give them to me. I'll carry them."
Kitahara Makoto's physical fitness had already surpassed human limits, so carrying a few extra clothes was easy for him.
"No." Chihaya Anon subconsciously shook her head, "I only have one bathrobe on, how could I take it off!"
However, the next second, she was shocked to see Nagasaki Soyo, not far away, actually taking off her soaked bathrobe, saying as she did so:
"Sakiko, quickly take off your bathrobe and give it to Kitahara-kun."
"Wait, wait a minute." Chihaya Anon couldn't help but retort, "Won't you be seen completely?"
