Chapter 3 - Terrifying Woman

While everyone was still buzzing with discussions, the announcement of the Eternal Beauty List continued.

[Rank 99: Kurasaki Fūko]

[Partner: None for Now]

[Rank Reward: Ghost-Seeing Ability]

...

[Rank 98: Fujiwara Chika]

[Partner: None for Now]

[Rank Reward: Ghost-Seeing Ability]

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

"Are the Eternal Beauty List rank rewards really just the Ghost-Seeing Ability?!"

Azazel pondered.

Although the Ghost-Seeing Ability is the foundation for Onmyōji and exorcists, in the eyes of god and demon races like theirs, it wasn't a big deal. They had too many ways to grant the Ghost-Seeing Ability to ordinary humans.

If that were truly the case, then this Dimensional List would be almost useless to them.

"It's too early to draw conclusions. This is only the Eternal Beauty List. After this, there are still the Gods and Demons List, the Divine Artifacts List, and other Lists. Perhaps those are the ones truly aimed at god and demon races like us."

Azazel wasn't the only one with this thought.

[Rank 94: Kasugano Sora]

[Partner: None for Now]

[Rank Reward: Ghost-Seeing Ability]

...

[Rank 92: Sawamura Spencer Eriri]

[Partner: None for Now]

[Rank Reward: Ghost-Seeing Ability]

...

[Rank 91: Kasumigaoka Utaha]

[Partner: Kanzaki Hikaru (Ex-boyfriend)]

[Rank Reward: Ghost-Seeing Ability]

...

"The Eternal Beauty List has changed; Partner: Kanzaki Hikaru (Ex-boyfriend). This shows that the girl named Kasumigaoka Utaha has had a romantic relationship before."

"Really annoying; that goddess actually had a boyfriend."

"Ex-boyfriend..."

"As long as it's not a current boyfriend..."

"..."

The concise and dense rank information on the Eternal Beauty List made everyone understand its meaning.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Private Toyogasaki Academy.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha, since when did you have a relationship with Hikaru!"

Eriri half-running, came before Utaha who was standing on the field, her face showing a bit of anger.

As if her favorite toy had been stolen by a little thief.

"Isn't this Sawamura-san, the blonde loser dog who ranks at ninety-two."

Utaha smiled faintly, brushing aside a bit of her blue hair and speaking gently.

"You're the loser dog; you broke up with Hikaru too, didn't you?"

Eriri said irritably.

The Eternal Beauty List really placed her below this sharp-tongued, bad-character woman; how blind!

Utaha paused for a moment, murmuring inwardly: "Hikaru, you're too mysterious, so mysterious that it makes me a little scared. Even now, I don't know if my decision to break up with him was right or wrong."

"Why, cat got your tongue?"

"Hmph, even if I broke up, it's far better than you who doesn't even dare to confess your feelings."

Utaha snorted coldly, speaking in a disdainful tone.

"You..."

Eriri glared at her angrily.

In some unknown places, there were also people getting angry because of the name 'Kanzaki Hikaru', who seemed to be a hated playboy.

[Rank 88: Kirishima Touka]

[Partner: None for Now]

[Rank Reward: Basic Physical Modification]

...

[Rank 87: Fueguchi Hinami]

[Partner: None for Now]

[Rank Reward: Basic Physical Modification]

...

"The rank rewards have changed; it's not just the Ghost-Seeing Ability after all."

Although the effect of Basic Physical Modification was unknown, it was clearly much better than the Ghost-Seeing Ability.

However, the next rank information stunned everyone; some ordinary people even felt chills and broke out in cold sweat.

[Rank 86: Tomie]

[Partners: Kitaoka Ren (Deceased), Imada Masaki (Deceased), Tachibana Yūmagawa (Deceased), Sakiyō Shin (Deceased), Uematsu Kaisei (Deceased), Hatta Kōta (Deceased), Momose Sora (Deceased), Mihashi Yuuichirou (Deceased), Nishimura Takumi (Deceased), Takeuchi Mamoru (Deceased), Sugiyama Kanta (Deceased)... Takamura Gen (Insane), Nozaki Yota (Insane), Mizuno Hideaki (Insane)...]

[Rank Reward: Basic Physical Modification]

This was truly a death list. It seemed that men who had relationships with the woman named Tomie either died or went insane; none became exes.

This was truly dating with life on the line!

"Tomie...?!"

Many people recalled the urban legend, that monster, Tomie—the woman who never dies and can reproduce herself, bringing disaster to humanity.

"Is there really a monster like that?!"

"Since the Eternal Beauty List has shown her rank, it should be accurate."

"The reason Tomie can be at rank eighty-six is likely related to her own nature, not just appearance."

"Makes sense; Tomie's looks aren't even as good as Kurasaki Fūko at rank ninety-nine..."

"It seems the mysterious aura she carries gives her extra points."

"..."

Although Tomie was very beautiful, most men didn't even dare to glance at her; this woman was far more terrifying than a venomous-hearted villainess.

"The previous Onmyō Agency encirclement; some flesh networks from that woman managed to escape!"

Zenjirō Mugure, one of the Twelve Divine Generals of the Onmyō Agency, gripped his beloved sword Nimei Sōshū tightly. His face turned extremely grim upon seeing the two words 'Tomie'.

He had also participated in that Tomie encirclement battle. Originally, he thought the monster had been completely eradicated, but unexpectedly, she was still at large.

If not for the Eternal Beauty List, the Onmyō Agency might only learn that Tomie was still alive in this world after humans paid with piles of white bones.
