The skill progress bar that the passerby player Miss Tamura couldn't fill up for days was successfully charged to 100% by Amamiya Natsuki and Hayasaka Ai in just half a day.
There was no way around it. Most players' mental states were actually numb. They couldn't see the future and didn't know when misfortune would befall them. Giving up, lying flat, and indulging were the most normal mindsets.
Although reality was full of wandering evil spirits, after seeing them for a long time, it was just like that.
To make players experience strong psychological fluctuations, it probably only happened when adventuring in a dungeon.
But Amamiya Natsuki was different.
After planting a Sin Mushroom, one of the seven deadly sins would randomly appear... Perhaps it wasn't entirely random and was related to each person's personality preferences. Amamiya Natsuki planted Sin Mushroom several times on himself in the afternoon, and all that grew on his head were sin mushrooms. Finally, Hayasaka Ai couldn't stand it anymore and strictly forbade him from planting Sin Mushroom again.
Whether it was lust or wrath, both were quite strong emotional fluctuations that could be used to charge the progress bar of [Psychic Power 100%].
"The charging method has been successfully verified. It's just a pity that the hotel room is too small to verify..."
Amamiya Natsuki glanced at the skill panel. The Psychic Power 100% skill was flashing with purple light, ready to be activated and used at any time. The transformation duration was like Ultraman, currently lasting three minutes, and it could enable partial body strengthening. He then turned to look at Hayasaka and suggested, "Let's go back to Tokyo tomorrow. Tonight, let's find a hidden place and experience the actual effect of Psychic Power 100%?"
"Pfft~"
The lingering blush on Hayasaka Ai's pretty face hadn't completely faded. Hearing this, she scoffed lightly and glared hard, but unfortunately, the maid's eyes were moist and glistening, and her voice was soft and sweet, completely lacking any deterrent power, more like she was acting spoiled.
"President, let go of me," Hayasaka Ai said, trying hard to keep her pretty face stern, huffing softly, "The President can verify that kind of thing alone, so you stay in Kyoto, and I'll go back to Tokyo."
"No way," Amamiya Natsuki said, gently pinching Hayasaka's fingers. "Kyoto is so far from Tokyo. What if you get lost?"
"Heh heh."
Amamiya Natsuki ignored the maid's sarcastic laugh and continued, "Besides, I promised before that I would play around Kyoto with Ai, so of course, I have to keep my word."
"You still have the nerve to say that!"
Hearing this, Hayasaka Ai was immediately enraged. The blush that had just faded from her pretty face surged again, and she reached out her other hand to Amamiya Natsuki's waist, pinching him hard, saying with both shame and anger, "Liar president! I'll never believe your words again!"
Amamiya Natsuki said innocently, "Where did I lie to you?"
Hayasaka Ai gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with shy anger, "You know perfectly well!"
He clearly promised not to use Time Stop, but he went back on his word and used it again later... She wasn't sure how many times, but when she woke up from her stupor, half an hour had already passed.
Hayasaka Ai still shivered at the thought of it now. Thankfully, her physical constitution had been strengthened many times. If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be broken!
Amamiya Natsuki blinked, understanding, and lowered his voice, saying innocently, "I asked for your opinion at the time, and you clearly agreed."
Hayasaka Ai bit her lip in shame and anger: "I didn't! Impossible!"
Amamiya Natsuki whispered, "Then next time, I'll record it as proof..."
"Die!" Hayasaka Ai kicked out. "I'll sink you into Tokyo Bay right now!"
"..."
After dinner, the two took a car back to Tokyo.
The journey was silent.
Upon returning to Tokyo, Hayasaka Ai decisively ditched him and quickly left.
Amamiya Natsuki slowly walked back. When he was almost home, he went to the supermarket to buy fruit, then bought a Cupcake at the dessert shop, and only then did he carry the gifts home.
"I'm home."
Shinomiya Kaguya, wearing pajamas, stood at the entrance and said softly, "Welcome home."
After taking a shower, Amamiya Natsuki experienced the Psychic Power 100% skill effect again and expressed his satisfaction.
The summer holiday became leisurely again, and several days passed in the blink of an eye.
That evening, Amamiya Natsuki was sitting on the sofa, watching TV with the young mistress, with Mrs. Shimizu playing on her phone beside them, when his little finger suddenly trembled violently.
"Hmm?"
Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly and took out his phone from his pocket.
The next second.
Secretary Chika's call came through.
After Amamiya Natsuki answered, secretary Chika's voice quickly entered his ears, expressing worry:
"President, something's wrong! Moeha is in danger!"
Amamiya Natsuki sat up straight and said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Shinomiya Kaguya picked up the remote control, lowered the TV volume, then turned to look, listening intently.
"President, do you still remember that door you told me about a few days ago?" Fujiwara Chika's voice was worried. "Moeha just suddenly ran over and told me she saw that door!"
Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow and said, "Moeha really saw it? Is that door really confirmed to exist?"
"It really exists..." A sound of movement came from Fujiwara Chika's end. After a while, secretary Chika's nervous voice sounded again, "I entered Moeha's room, and then... I also saw that door, right there in Moeha's room. What should have been a blank wall suddenly had a red wooden door."
Chika wouldn't call in the middle of the night to play a prank. In other words, that door really existed; it wasn't an urban legend but a real kaidan.
Amamiya Natsuki quickly stood up upon hearing this and said, "Don't be impulsive, both of you. Leave the room first. I'll be right there."
"Okay," Fujiwara Chika quickly agreed. "President, come quickly."
Shinomiya Kaguya had already stood up, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, and said, "Let's go together."
Mrs. Shimizu also put down her phone: "No time to lose, let's go to Chika's place quickly."
Amamiya Natsuki and the young mistress quickly changed their clothes and walked out into the night. To save time, they even directly hailed a taxi and went straight to Chika's house.
Twenty minutes later.
Amamiya Natsuki and Kaguya stepped out of the taxi, Natsuki frowning as he looked at his phone.
"Five minutes have already passed."
While in the taxi, Amamiya Natsuki had been messaging Chika, and at first, Chika had responded, but five minutes ago, she suddenly lost contact.
Even when Amamiya Natsuki wiggled the red string with his pinky finger, there was no reaction.
Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lip and said, "Let's go to Chika's room first and see if there are any clues."
"Okay."
It was already ten o'clock at night, the middle of the night, so it was certainly not suitable for a formal visit.
Amamiya Natsuki and Kaguya went directly around to the back of the yard, preparing to sneak in through a window.
"The window should be locked…" Amamiya Natsuki looked up.
"Shimizu-nee, could you open the window?"
"Leave it to me."
Mrs. Shimizu agreed and phased directly into the room.
Soon after, the curtains and window were pulled open.
Amamiya Natsuki crouched slightly, his legs suddenly exerting force, and he leaped directly to the second floor, flipping through the window into the room.
He then took out a grappling hook, threw it to Kaguya downstairs, and pulled Kaguya up.
"Chika isn't in the room." Shinomiya Kaguya looked around; the walls were bare, or plastered with posters, and there was no red wooden door.
"Moeha's room is next door; let's check Moeha's room."
Amamiya Natsuki's expression was serious.
He had Mrs. Shimizu scout ahead to ensure they wouldn't run into Chika's parents.
After confirming, the two came to the hallway and then entered Moeha's room.
"No one here either."
Amamiya Natsuki entered the room, looked around, and did not see the eerie red wooden door in the room.
"I'll go search the other rooms."
Mrs. Shimizu took on the reconnaissance task and floated out.
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Kaguya and said in a low voice, "The appearance of that red wooden door is most likely related to Moeha… Let's search Moeha's room for clues."
Previously, at the cold drink shop entrance, he had told Moeha to stay away from kaidan and not be interested.
Now it seemed that it had clearly gone in one ear and out the other; afterwards, she had secretly continued to investigate and had indeed come into contact with kaidan.
"Alright."
The two began searching the room separately.
Amamiya Natsuki went to the desk and quickly found a cute cartoon diary.
A diary is private; even parents should not randomly flip through their child's diary.
However, the situation was special now, and there was no time to worry about such things.
Amamiya Natsuki opened the diary and began to browse, hoping to find useful information.
"First, the time…"
Amamiya Natsuki skipped the preceding content and started reading from the last page.
"The last entry was written yesterday, still fresh and hot, so this is it." Amamiya Natsuki turned his head and said, "Kaguya, come and read it together."
"Coming."
Shinomiya Kaguya walked over, and the two of them examined the diary's contents together.
"July 25th, weather, clear."
"Today, I made plans with Hanamaru to meet Sakura Rinko.
The meeting place is a cafe, so there's no need to worry about danger."
"Sakura Rinko's dark circles are so heavy; she looks a bit scary."
"When I got home tonight, I saw a red door appear on the wall.
After blinking, the door disappeared.
It must have been an illusion."
Upon seeing this, Shinomiya Kaguya slightly raised her delicate eyebrows and said, "That Sakura Rinko is a bit suspicious."
Amamiya Natsuki said solemnly, "Let's note that down first."
The two continued to read.
Below that were some of Moeha's speculations about the door kaidan, and further down were ordinary daily records.
For example—
"It's really hot to go out in summer; sunscreen spray runs out super fast.
Remember to stock up."
"Today I ate dessert from so-and-so's place, happy!"
"This afternoon, when I was shopping at the shopping mall with Hanamori, I tried on underwear at a lingerie store, and now it seems to be E.
Not happy…"
Hey, hey, what does this E mean?
You're just a little junior high student, and you're already E-sized compared to ordinary people!
"Un… unfair…"
Seeing the content in the diary, Shinomiya Kaguya subconsciously covered her chest.
Even junior high students are already E-sized compared to ordinary people, but she only has an A.
Unfair!
This world is too unfair!
Amamiya Natsuki flipped the diary forward.
The content from the previous day was ordinary: Moeha and her classmate had met someone online who called herself Sakura Rinko, who had also encountered a red wooden door, so they agreed to meet in person.
Flipping further back, it was Fujiwara Moeha's 'Kaidan Incident Investigation Diary.'
The main subjects were Moeha and her classmate, but both were junior high students, so their investigation methods were very naive, simply posting online to search, etc.
This further proved that Sakura Rinko was quite suspicious.
Amamiya Natsuki continued to flip forward and quickly found the diary entry for the day he met Moeha on the street.
"July 18th, weather clear."
"Met Natsuki-senpai while shopping, happy."
"Told senpai about the kaidan, senpai didn't believe me and told me not to investigate, not happy."
"My friend's brother went missing; how could I stand by and do nothing about such a serious matter?"
"Eh heh~ Senpai also patted my head, it felt good, but he clearly treated me like a child."
"Angry!"
"I must investigate the truth behind my friend's brother's disappearance, and then make senpai look at me with new eyes."
"Go for it!"
Amamiya Natsuki: "…"
Are you kidding me?!
At the end, was he actually half to blame?
You're just a little junior high student; don't have such a strong rebellious streak!
"No need to read the content before this." Amamiya Natsuki closed the diary and sighed, "In the end, it was my fault."
"Actually, it's a junior high student's curiosity." Shinomiya Kaguya hugged her arms to her chest and said softly, "Even if the president didn't say anything, Moeha would definitely have continued to investigate."
As she spoke, Mrs. Shimizu phased through the door and floated in, shaking her head softly, "I've searched all the rooms; I didn't see Chika or Moeha.
Fujiwara's father and mother are already asleep."
"So you didn't find them?"
Amamiya Natsuki's gaze dropped.
By now, Chika had been out of contact for ten minutes.
If she were still in reality, she would have already made contact.
Even if her phone was unusable for some unknown reason, the red string connecting them would definitely work.
Now, even the red string showed no movement, so Chika had likely entered another dimension.
Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lip and said, "Something special must have happened while we were on our way, causing Chika and Moeha to enter that door."
Undoubtedly, the sudden disappearance of the two meant they most likely entered that door, which is why they couldn't be contacted.
The problem was that the door had disappeared, and now they couldn't get in even if they wanted to.
Amamiya Natsuki took out his phone and walked to the window, saying, "I'll have someone investigate that Sakura Rinko first."
It could now be confirmed that behind the door was likely an alternate dimension separated from the real world.
What exactly it was, he had no idea, and whether Chika and Moeha were safe now was also unknown.
Perhaps, like the strangeness that made Hino disappear, there was no immediate danger to their lives.
Or perhaps…
Amamiya Natsuki had already made a decision.
He would find and enter that door within twenty-four hours.
If he couldn't find it, he would use Hiruko no Kami's time reset card to directly reset the entire world.
Amamiya Natsuki was looking for a hacker player in the mutual aid group.
The two had cooperated several times before.
After telling the hacker player his request, the other party immediately said they would handle it.
"Let's leave first." Amamiya Natsuki put away his phone, exhaled softly, and took Kaguya's right hand, saying calmly, "We'll find that door within twenty-four hours, otherwise we'll use the time reset card, so don't worry, let's rest for a bit."
Shinomiya Kaguya nodded gently, "Let's go."
That being said, resting was impossible; even if they returned home, they wouldn't be able to sleep.
Amamiya Natsuki and Kaguya walked down the street and found a twenty-four-hour fast food restaurant.
They then walked into the store and waited silently.
"No need to rush." Amamiya Natsuki ordered a coffee, without sugar.
"Once that Sakura Rinko is thoroughly investigated, we'll inform everyone to act together."
Acting as a group was safer; only a fool would choose to go it alone.
Shinomiya Kaguya responded softly, her gaze sharp.
Although Chika was a pain, she was her only friend before she met Amamiya Natsuki.
She would never let anything harm Chika.
Time quietly slipped away, bit by bit.
Amamiya Natsuki had never felt a night so long.
After an unknown period, Amamiya Natsuki suddenly felt his phone vibrate.
He picked it up and saw that it was a message from the hacker player.
"Brother Leg, the information you wanted has been found…"
Amamiya Natsuki sincerely thanked him, "Thank you."
To be able to find the information in such a short time, the other party had clearly put in a lot of effort.
This favor would be remembered for now.
Shinomiya Kaguya leaned closer to look at the phone with him.
Clicking on the information, the first thing was a photo of a woman with her hair in a bun, wearing a suit, and black-rimmed glasses, clearly an adult working woman.
Name: Sakura Rinko
Age: Thirty
Occupation: Cosmetics company employee, resigned half a month ago, currently unemployed
Marital Status: Unmarried, lives alone
Current Address is…
Below this basic information, there were also Sakura Rinko's travel history and shopping records for the past month, including surveillance video of her meeting the junior high student at a cafe yesterday.
Her travel history showed she had visited many shrines and temples, and her shopping records included many common folk exorcism tools, such as crosses, peach wood swords, etc.
Clearly, she had indeed encountered kaidan; she had not lied about this.
Amamiya Natsuki clicked on the video and could clearly see Moeha and another little girl in the cafe.
Their identities were confirmed; there was no mistake.
"That woman is in Tokyo…" Amamiya Natsuki stood up and said, "Let's go there."
"Let's go."
Shinomiya Kaguya followed him up.
The two left the fast food restaurant, hailed another taxi, and headed straight for the address.
Half an hour later.
Amamiya Natsuki and Kaguya arrived in front of an apartment building.
It was already past one in the morning; aside from the streetlights still being bright, the entire apartment building had quieted down.
"I've already told Kitagawa Marin and the others." Shinomiya Kaguya put away her phone and looked up at the apartment building.
"Should we wait for everyone to arrive or go up now?"
"Let's go up now." Amamiya Natsuki said calmly, "The other party is most likely just an ordinary person… or perhaps slightly extraordinary."
The other party had only resigned half a month ago, and since then had been constantly visiting various shrines, trying to seek protection.
Clearly, her contact with kaidan had not been long.
Even if she was extraordinary, Amamiya Natsuki was confident he could handle it.
Besides, the subway and trains had already stopped running, and it would take at least an hour for everyone to gather; they couldn't just wait downstairs.
The two walked up the stairs and quickly reached the third floor, stopping in front of an ordinary apartment door.
"Knocking so late will definitely disturb the residents…" Amamiya Natsuki looked at Mrs. Shimizu and whispered, "Shimizu-nee, it's up to you."
"Understood."
Mrs. Shimizu's figure flickered and she disappeared into the room.
Before long, the sound of a security chain came from behind the door, followed by a 'click' as the door opened.
Amamiya Natsuki reached out, pushed the door open, and stepped inside.
This was an ordinary single apartment, not large, only about forty to fifty square meters, but though the sparrow is small, it has all its internal organs.
Just as Amamiya Natsuki was about to turn on the light, the room already lit up, someone had turned on the lamp inside, followed by a sudden gasp:
"Who are you people?"
Amamiya Natsuki narrowed his eyes and looked over. A woman in pajamas was sitting on the tatami mat, looking over with a vigilant expression, with thick dark circles under her eyes, and her skin was somewhat sallow and withered, clearly indicating severe lack of rest and chronic insomnia.
"Sakura-san?"
The woman was extremely vigilant, having already quickly grabbed her phone, and said with great caution:
"Get out of here quickly, or I'll call the police immediately!"
"Please don't misunderstand." Amamiya Natsuki raised his hands and said seriously, "We are not thieves; in fact, we are staff members of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau."
"Huh?" The woman was dumbfounded, momentarily forgetting to press the call button on her phone, and said in surprise, "What did you just say?"
"Supernatural Investigation Bureau." Shinomiya Kaguya crossed her arms over her chest and said in a clear, cold voice, "Sakura-san, if I may be frank… you must have encountered a kaidan recently, haven't you?"
"How do you know?" Sakura Rinko immediately became agitated, her voice becoming incoherent, "Supernatural Investigation Bureau… why have I never heard of it?"
Amamiya Natsuki said sternly:
"To maintain social stability, the existence of the Bureau will naturally not be made public. Sakura-san must understand the implications."
"Oh, I see…" Sakura Rinko felt dizzy in her head, not really understanding, "Wait!"
The woman again showed a vigilant expression, raising her phone and saying:
"You two are just high school students, aren't you? And you're already members of the Bureau? And… why did you break in without knocking?"
Shinomiya Kaguya said calmly:
"Knocking so late is a disturbance, and we inferred that Sakura-san probably wouldn't dare to open the door."
"As for why we are members of the Bureau…" Amamiya Natsuki paused slightly, "Of course, it's because we have the power to eliminate anomalies and spirits."
After speaking, Amamiya Natsuki gave Mrs. Shimizu a look.
Mrs. Shimizu gestured, reached out, picked up a pillow from the sofa, and waved it in the air.
Sakura-san had been saying "two people," clearly indicating she couldn't see Mrs. Shimizu. At this moment, in her line of sight, she could only see a pillow floating up and down.
Having witnessed the existence of supernatural power with her own eyes, Sakura Rinko finally believed Amamiya Natsuki and Kaguya's identities. She covered her face with her hands, her shoulders shaking as she burst into tears:
"W-why did you only just come…?"
Amamiya Natsuki: "…"
Shinomiya Kaguya: "…"
The identity of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau was, of course, fake.
On the way over, Amamiya Natsuki and Kaguya had discussed that if they got information from Sakura Rinko, and eventually reached a consensus, they would cooperate. If they couldn't cooperate… they would use force to make her talk.
It seemed that violence was not needed for now.
"Sakura-san, calm down, don't get agitated." Amamiya Natsuki comforted her, "Since we're here, we'll handle that kaidan… First, tell us about your recent experiences and encounters, the more detailed, the better."
"S-sorry…" Sakura Rinko rubbed her eyes haphazardly with her hands, tears still falling, her voice trembling, "I was just… too agitated just now…"
After a few minutes, Sakura Rinko finally calmed down, holding a glass of ice water, and said in a hoarse voice:
"That red door… we call it the Door of Despair."
Shinomiya Kaguya's delicate brows slightly furrowed, saying:
"We?"
"That's right, I'm not the only one who encountered that door; there are many of us." Sakura Rinko took a sip of ice water and continued, "The first time I encountered that door was half a month ago. At that time, my friend went missing. Before she disappeared, she told me that she saw a strange door on the wall in her home…"
"I didn't pay attention to it at the time, just thought she was too stressed from work and was hallucinating."
"Then she suddenly lost contact later, and I asked other friends, but they also had no news of her… I was very worried at the time, so one day after work, I went to her apartment to look for her." Sakura Rinko's expression was full of regret, "If I hadn't gone to look for her, I wouldn't have encountered what happened next…"
Shinomiya Kaguya said softly:
"Sakura-san encountered that door?"
"Yes…" Sakura Rinko nodded, "At that time, I didn't find my friend, so I went home. Afterwards, I started having hallucinations, and eventually that red door appeared in my office at work."
"I was very scared at the time, so I quickly took the day off. But I found that no matter where I went, that door would follow me—the wall of the subway station, the wall of the park, the wall of the apartment, and so on… And only I could see it."
Amamiya Natsuki said in a deep voice:
"Why did Sakura-san open that door?"
"Because that door initially only appeared for a few seconds, but then it would fully form and generate a strange magical power." Sakura Rinko held the water cup with both hands, "At that time, I was like I was mesmerized, uncontrollably grasping the doorknob. I couldn't control my body at all. It was pitch black behind the door, I couldn't see anything. I didn't want to go in, but my heart suddenly hurt so much. Finally, I had no choice but to enter the door."
"I see."
Amamiya Natsuki and Kaguya exchanged glances, understanding.
No wonder Moeha and Chika disappeared. That door wasn't something that could be avoided by not pushing it open; there was some kind of curse. Most likely, Moeha's body was affected, she pushed open the door, and then was cursed with severe heart pain. Chika had no choice but to accompany Moeha into the door.
Shinomiya Kaguya asked:
"What's behind the door?"
Sakura Rinko's hand trembled, and the ice water in the cup spilled out. The fear in her eyes was completely undisguised, and she said in a hoarse voice:
"It's a space of only despair…"
Amamiya Natsuki lit a match, the flame flickering, and under its glow, the woman quickly calmed down, then he said:
"Please describe the situation behind the door in detail."
"Behind the door… is an abandoned villa…" Sakura Rinko exhaled, looking incredulously at the lit match, feeling an extraordinary warmth and calmness within her. She showed her first smile since they met, then said, "After I entered the door, I only felt my vision go black, and then I appeared in an abandoned villa. Besides me, there were many other people. Then blood characters appeared on the ground. Someone said that was a task given to us by the Door of Despair. Only by surviving until dawn could we leave the villa, and in the abandoned villa, there were… ghosts."
"Hmm?"
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Kaguya in surprise.
"How is it somewhat like… a game?"
Shinomiya Kaguya also looked over in surprise.
Issuing tasks and making people survive for a limited time, from the description alone, it was clearly very similar to a game.
Could it be that that door wasn't a weirdness, but rather something similar to a game?
Amamiya Natsuki's thoughts raced.
This possibility could not be ruled out.
So far, no one could be sure that the game was the only existence; there were too many unknown things in this world.
"There were nine people who entered the villa at that time, and in the end, only I and one other person survived." Sakura Rinko continued, "Everyone else died."
"At that time, an 'old hand' in the villa said that even if you were lucky enough to survive, you would still be pulled back into the door after a while, until you eventually died completely. That's why they called that door the 'Door of Despair'."
Shinomiya Kaguya then asked for more details and found that the Door of Despair was not the same as the game.
Although the types were similar, after Sakura-san cleared the stage, there were no rewards, only the ability to return to the real world for a few more days, or perhaps that was the reward for surviving.
Despair.
Only endless despair.
Amamiya Natsuki suddenly felt that the game was much more humane.
Daily Blind Box, attribute point rewards, rotating mall, etc., it could be said to be super generous, with effort comes reward. In contrast, that door was truly a place of despair where not a shred of hope could be seen.
"You are staff members of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, you have a way to solve that door, right? You can definitely solve it, right?"
The match had burned out.
Sakura Rinko's emotions became agitated again. Her gaze towards Amamiya Natsuki and Kaguya was like a drowning person clutching at the last straw.
If he were to tell her now that there was no such thing as a Supernatural Investigation Bureau, and everything he said just now was a lie… this woman would probably fall into despair and break down completely.
"Of course we can solve that door." Shinomiya Kaguya said in a clear, cold voice, "Please trust our professional competence."
"That's good…"
Sakura Rinko relaxed slightly.
Amamiya Natsuki asked again:
"Sakura-san, did you arrange to meet two junior high students at a cafe yesterday?"
"That's right." Sakura Rinko nodded, "Actually, they asked to meet me, saying that their family member suddenly disappeared and they wanted to ask me about the situation… Is something wrong?"
"They also suddenly disappeared." Amamiya Natsuki said calmly, "In fact, it was after receiving a commission from their father that we found you."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know…" Sakura Rinko covered her face with her hands, her shoulders gently shaking, and she started crying again, "I was just too scared, I didn't know what to do, and I wanted to talk to someone, that's why I met them… Those old people said that we might be cursed by that door, so no matter where we go, we can't escape, and it's best not to contact anyone… Ugh!"
Sakura Rinko suddenly clutched her chest and groaned in pain.
"Sakura-san?"
Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow and looked over.
"It hurts so much… My heart hurts so much…" Sakura Rinko's voice was terrified, "That door is going to appear again!"
Amamiya Natsuki turned his head to look around, his gaze quickly focusing on the apartment wall.
On the wall, which should have been empty, an old red wooden door suddenly appeared, as if soaked in fresh blood.
At the same time.
Amamiya Natsuki and Kaguya heard the game announcement simultaneously—
