Kashi wandered around Masao's room for a long time.
Besides finding more evil books documenting the tragic experiences of countless girls, Kashi didn't find anything else useful.
She walked out of the room, somewhat disappointed.
As she walked, she pinched her chin and pondered.
"Damn it, is there really no way to deal with that scoundrel Masao?"
Suddenly, the figures of two people appeared in her mind.
"Should I go tell Kazumi and Kenji about Masao's evil deeds?
They're nice to me, but you never know a person's true heart. What if they're accomplices?
This idea is pending."
"Oh, that's right!"
Kashi's eyes lit up as she suddenly remembered something.
"When Masao came back from school yesterday, he looked completely drained. Maybe there's a solution there."
Acting on her thoughts, Kashi changed her clothes, grabbed her magic stone, and headed out.
Less than ten seconds after the door closed, it opened again.
"I almost forgot about you all."
She ran back into the room, took out a cat-shaped pouch, and slung it around her waist.
This pouch contained her five thousand yen allowance (approximately three hundred) and her house keys.
"Lock the door before leaving."
Only after making sure the door was locked did Kashi leave.
Walking on the road, Kashi felt a bit lost.
"I remember Masao goes to a place called Sobu University, but where is that place?"
She had known the name of Masao's school yesterday, but she didn't know the exact route.
"Never mind, I'll ask someone."
Sobu University, as the best school in Chiba Prefecture, was almost universally known.
Coupled with Kashi's adorable appearance, passersby were happy to help her, eagerly giving her directions.
...
The Tanaka home was not far from the school.
So, even walking all the way, Kashi didn't take long.
Looking at the huge building in front of her, Kashi nodded.
"Is this the school? It's certainly unique."
For some reason, after Kashi arrived at the school gate, she always had a feeling of not wanting to go in, of wanting to leave quickly.
After this thought appeared, she shook her head, casting it out of her mind.
Since she had come all this way, how could she not go in?
Kashi walked forward with determined steps, and then...
Then she was stopped.
Two things stopped Kashi: one was the school gate, and the other was the security guard at the entrance.
"Little sister, is there something you need?"
Hearing this, Kashi put her hands on her hips and said, somewhat displeased.
"Don't call me 'little sister', call me Kashi-sama."
The security guard wasn't angry; instead, he showed a kind smile.
Children, after all, always want to grow up quickly and don't like being treated like children.
To this, the security guard chose to cooperate.
"Oh, it's Kashi. Are you here to find someone at school?"
"That's right, I'm here to find Masao, Tanaka Masao."
The security guard thought for a moment but didn't recall the name.
"Is he a student at our school? Do you know which class he's in?"
"Which class?"
Kashi pinched her chin, thinking, 'I don't know that either.'
"I don't know, but it doesn't matter."
Kashi wasn't a suspicious person, and she was just a child, so she wouldn't pose a threat to the students.
Therefore, the security guard had no intention of making things difficult for her and let her in directly.
"Little... oh, it's Kashi. Go on in. If you can't find him, you can go to the teacher's office or the student council; they'll help you."
"Mm, I understand."
Upon entering the campus, Kashi didn't immediately go looking for Masao; instead, she decided to first observe the school environment.
...
Kashi woke up relatively late in the morning and had been searching Masao's room after breakfast.
Adding the time spent traveling from home to school, it was already noon.
Kashi had only just arrived at school when she caught the lunch break.
Students came out of their classrooms; some went to the cafeteria and supermarket to buy lunch.
Others carried their bento boxes and looked for shady, scenic spots to eat with friends.
Kashi, who suddenly appeared on campus, naturally attracted the attention of those around her.
To avoid being seen as a pervert, when facing Kashi in her loli form, even though they found her very cute and liked her, no one dared to approach her directly.
They just secretly watched, thinking to themselves:
[If only she were my little sister, I would definitely cherish her.]
Compared to the boys' cautiousness, the girls were much bolder.
"Look, look, that little girl, she's so cute."
"Ah, yes, she's so tiny, she feels so soft, I really want to touch her."
"Is she a teacher's child? Or someone's little sister?"
The petite and adorable Kashi instantly awakened the maternal instincts in the girls.
A few bolder girls had already gathered around.
"Little sister, who are you? Are you here to find someone?"
"If you want to find someone, tell us the name, and we big sisters can help you."
The sudden appearance of several girls surrounding her didn't make Kashi feel nervous.
On the contrary, she felt quite at ease.
Because in the Demon Realm, no matter where Kashi went, a large number of followers and servants would appear.
And these girls who gathered around were naturally regarded by her as subordinates who had succumbed to her charm and were at her command.
[Oh my, my charm is still as great as ever. Wherever I go, I become the center of attention.
This is the normal reaction people should have when they see me. As for that guy Masao, he's definitely not normal.]
Besides, Kashi noticed that the atmosphere in this school seemed a bit different from what she had imagined.
According to her assumption, school should be a place with a heavy, oppressive, and dark atmosphere.
But the actual school atmosphere she felt was relaxed, pleasant, and joyful.
Kashi didn't dwell on it too much, planning to deal with it after finding Masao.
Kashi put her hands on her hips and said very proudly.
"My name is Kashi, and I have come here to find Tanaka Masao. Do you know where he is?"
Kashi's triumphant and arrogant demeanor did not make the surrounding girls feel repulsed; instead, they found Kashi even cuter.
One girl couldn't help but extend her evil hand and pinched Kashi's cheek.
"Wow, so cute, and her cheek is so soft."
The sudden attack left Kashi no time to react.
By the time she came to her senses, it was already too late.
"So cunning, you're stealing a touch! Let me touch her too."
