Kato Megumi walked into the classroom as usual, her figure passing by her classmates without attracting anyone's attention.
Those classmates were still chatting nonstop.
"Let's go to Chiba Zoo together this weekend, I heard there's going to be a big deer parade there," a girl excitedly suggested.
"Eh, a big deer parade? Are there a lot of deer?" another girl curiously pressed.
Kato Megumi heard their conversation, and a hint of doubt couldn't help but rise in her heart.
"What is that?"
Although she was doubtful, her face remained expressionless, and she didn't stop eavesdropping. Instead, she walked to her seat and sat down.
"Why are you so early?"
Kato Megumi gave Kisaragi Rin, who was sprawled on the desk next to her, a strange look. Normally, he would appear in the classroom 5 to 10 minutes before the morning class started, but today he was even earlier than her.
"Did something happen?"
Kato Megumi tilted her head to observe carefully and found that Kisaragi Rin had already fallen asleep on the desk.
Without disturbing him, Kato Megumi quietly took out her textbook and began to study the problems she couldn't solve yesterday.
Because of her lack of presence, even if she went to the office to ask the teacher questions, she would quickly be forgotten. After scaring a few teachers, Kato Megumi had no choice but to solve the difficult problems by herself.
Under Kato Megumi's strenuous thought, a piece of scratch paper was quickly filled, but she still couldn't figure it out.
"You need to draw an auxiliary line here."
Kisaragi Rin's voice sounded from beside her. He drowsily pointed out the key to the problem.
"Like this?"
Kato Megumi drew the auxiliary line as Kisaragi Rin instructed, and sure enough, the geometry problem began to become clear.
Kisaragi Rin pulled a bread from his desk drawer and began to eat breakfast.
"Why have you been so sleepy these past few days? Are you staying up late playing games?"
Kato Megumi asked from the side.
"You could say I'm playing a game, right?"
Kisaragi Rin said helplessly. Isn't what players do just play games?
It's just that he's playing a real-life version of Battle Royale.
"You still need to be moderate. Staying up late all the time might lead to baldness."
Kato Megumi reminded him, picturing Kisaragi Rin bald in her mind.
If such a situation really occurred, it would most likely make children stop crying and villains bow down.
"Remember to help me watch out for the teacher later."
Kisaragi Rin reminded Kato Megumi and continued to catch up on sleep. Besides the few classes in the classroom yesterday, he hadn't rested at all.
"Okay..."

"A strange ceiling..."
Miyano Shiho woke up on a strange bed, the scene before she fainted still echoing in her mind.
Looking around nervously, Miyano Shiho found that this didn't seem to be the Black Organization's base.
The dark wooden-decorated room was simply furnished with a single bed, a cabinet, and a desk lamp.
And she was lying on this bed, covered by a blanket.
Throwing off the blanket and looking at her small, tender hands, Miyano Shiho was momentarily lost in thought.
To escape, she had taken ATPX4869 as if gambling her life.
As a result, she really survived and turned into this child's appearance.
"Could it be that she was really saved by an ordinary person?"
Miyano Shiho's small feet reached for the slippers in front of the bed, and she got off the bed.
She was simply wearing a white t-shirt, which looked like a dress on her petite body.
Moreover, there was a blue sticky note on the clothes.
She peeled off the sticky note, and the words that met her eyes made her pupils dilate.
Miyano Shiho, you don't want the Black Organization to find out you're not dead, do you?
Good news: Not caught by the Black Organization.
Bad news: Someone knows her identity, and this person doesn't seem like a good person.
Struggling to break free from her fear, Miyano Shiho looked at the next sentence.
Don't worry, I have the same enemy as you.
Your existence is relatively safe. After taking ATPX4869, you will automatically gain anti-divination and anti-prophecy effects.
They also won't be able to trace how I took you away.
The Black Organization probably won't think that a little girl in Chiba is Miyano Shiho from Tokyo.
So don't run around causing me trouble.
There's cold medicine on the table, remember to take it.
Porridge has been cooked in the kitchen, go eat it yourself.
And that was it. Miyano Shiho flipped the note over, but there was still no other information.
"So the first sentence was just to scare me?"
Miyano Shiho pursed her lips.

A certain building in Tokyo
A blonde man put down the phone in his hand and looked at the person beside him, saying, "Vodka, arrange for Chianti and Korn to return to Tokyo."
"But Boss, that crazy woman Chianti has been very unstable lately."
The person standing beside Gin was naturally his full-time driver, Vodka.
Square-faced, with a build like a polar bear.
"One of Tokyo's research bases was exposed last night, and Sherry was also taken away."
Gin slowly recounted what happened last night. Although his expression was calm, his eyes already revealed killing intent.
"Could it be the Silver Bullet?"
Vodka's pupils dilated, and he blurted out.
The term "Silver Bullet" originally referred to a Special weapon against monsters like werewolves and vampires in legends. Later, it was used metaphorically to mean the strongest killing move and trump card.
For the Black Organization, only those who pose a huge threat to the organization are called Silver Bullets.
And the only living Silver Bullet now is the former code-named member - Rye Whiskey - Shuichi Akai.
Shuichi Akai infiltrated the Black Organization five years ago, became a code-named member - Rye Whiskey, and acquired a large amount of intelligence. Two years ago, his identity was exposed, but instead of being eliminated by the Black Organization, he safely escaped.
He is both a hateful shame to the Black Organization and a sharp edge hidden in the dark that makes the Black Organization fear.
"Could it be that he was attracted by the news of Miyano Akemi's death?"
Vodka guessed.
Shuichi Akai's method of entering the Black Organization back then was to have a romantic relationship with Black Organization member Miyano Akemi.
This was also the reason why the Black Organization decided to eliminate Miyano Akemi. Even if she completed the mission of robbing 1 billion, she was still personally eliminated by Gin.
And the code-named member who disappeared last night - Sherry, her true identity is Miyano Akemi's younger sister, Miyano Shiho.
"Not yet confirmed."
If Shuichi Akai really cared about Miyano Akemi, he wouldn't have escaped for two years without trying to save her.
Did he feel guilty because of Miyano Akemi's death, so he's trying to alleviate it by saving her sister?
It's possible, but it remains questionable.
Anyway, they need to transfer Chianti and Korn back to Tokyo to guard against any official actions.
"I understand, Boss, but if both of them are transferred, who will be arranged to take over in Chiba?"
This made Gin fall silent. The Black Organization is large, but there are not many code-named members who can stand alone.
After thinking for a moment, Gin thought of a member's name.
"Loid Forger..."
He joined the Black Organization three years ago, was meticulous, calm and not impulsive, had excellent operational capabilities, and a 100% mission completion rate. Most importantly, he also had a daughter.
With weaknesses and abilities, Gin trusted him quite a bit.
"Let Loid Forger take over Chiba, arrange for him to become a player, and become a code-named member of the Black Organization..."
—
A space under Chiba Zoo, where some strangely shaped animals are gathered.
"Another one of our kind has been hunted. We need to retaliate against humans!"
A humanoid lizard stood, holding a emerald green scepter, speaking in a female voice.
"Ticket prices increase by fifty percent?"
A sphinx-like alien showed a provocative gaze and said disdainfully.
"Only blood can repay blood. If humans want war, we will give it to them!"
An orange cat bared its claws and said ferociously.
The lion expressionlessly pushed it behind him.
There were many opinions on how to deal with it, until the tallest stone pillar suddenly lit up.
All the animals were startled and shouted in unison, bowing their heads: "Welcome, Great Sage!"
"I will handle this matter myself..."
The voice came from the stone pillar. In the dim light, one could vaguely make out a human figure with antlers.
