Chapter 39: The Black Mist Permeating Eriri's Home!
[March 7th: A planet is just the ground ordinary people live on! Exusiai, you don't even know that?]
[Exusiai: I really don't! I only know the land under my feet is the Terra Continent.]
[Ren: Exusiai's world is a bit special.]
[March 7th: Oh, I see.]
[Momonga: Simply put, it can destroy the world!]
[Exusiai: !!!! Is it that powerful?!]
[Ren: It's not that exaggerated. It's only theoretical.]
[Momonga: I don't care! Boss, take care of me!]
[Ren: Heh heh, you probably don't need my care. Perhaps it won't be long before you become very strong.]
[Momonga: Huh?]
[March 7th: It's here! Ren's important hint!]
Unfortunately, Ren didn't answer. He had already slipped away. Because Eriri had arrived.
"Ren, I'm here!" Eriri opened the clubroom door. "Hmm???" Looking at Yukino and Yui, she froze. Two beautiful girls. One is the school's unreachable beauty, Yukino Yukinoshita! Did I come to the wrong place?
"You're here," Ren opened his eyes, a smile in them.
"Huh? Didn't you ask me to come? I didn't come voluntarily," her tsundere attitude surfaced.
After she entered, she sat on the chair next to him, occasionally glancing at the other two.
"Let me introduce everyone. This is Sawamura Eriri. She's a new member, though only in name."
"Yukinoshita Yukino."
"I'm Yui Yuigahama! Yahallo!"
"Ya… Yahallo…" Eriri replied with a dry laugh. "Didn't you say there was another member?" She looked around.
Ren helplessly introduced Kato Megumi, who was sitting on his right. "This is Kato Megumi."
"Hello," she replied calmly.
"When?!" Before Eriri could speak, Yui exclaimed.
Eriri was startled. But why didn't the other person in the club know either?
In fact, Yukino only just discovered her now. She always made people overlook her. "This is Kato Megumi's special ability, a presence that makes others think she's not there," Ren said proudly, as if introducing his treasure.
"It's just that my presence is faint," Megumi's voice was flat.
It's like a superpower, Eriri complained in her mind. But upon closer inspection, she was also a beautiful girl. Ren is the only boy in the club! The rest are all beautiful girls! This was very wrong. It seemed she would also have to come to the club from now on.
With Eriri's addition, the club became official. However, after this day, a strange thing happened. Eriri took three days off. Ren called, and she said she was sick. Still not better after three days? Today, Ren bought some get-well gifts and decided to go to her house.
"This is…" As soon as he arrived outside, he sensed something abnormal. He saw the entire house entangled with a strange black aura. Frowning, he walked forward and rang the doorbell. He waited. No one responded. Something happened.
With a flick of his finger, the door was forced open. Inside, black mist was drifting everywhere. "Hmm?" This aura… is it a demon?
The black aura contained the aura of evil spirits and demons. Demons were different from evil spirits, which were formed from obsessions. Demons were monsters from the other shore, generated from human negative emotions. But what happens when the two merge?
"Father!" Eriri's cry of alarm came from a room.
Ren instantly teleported over, and the door shattered upon impact. What met his eyes was a crazed man, wielding a knife and slashing wildly. His targets were a terrified Eriri and another woman with a similar face but different hair color—Sawamura Sayuri, Eriri's mother.
