Sparrows outside the window disturbed his peaceful sleep.
Asakura yawned and pulled open the curtains. The sky outside was perfect, and the sunlight streamed in, warm and making him feel a bit lazy to move.
Perhaps this was also the main reason he overslept.
But today was the weekend, so it didn't matter if he woke up a little late.
He woke up his phone and found that both the Magic Club and the Society Line groups had accumulated quite a few chat records, but most of them were just some unnutritious daily chats among the girls... at least Asakura didn't think knowing whether to apply isolation cream or foundation first would help him.
Not planning to join the group chat, he yawned again.
"It's almost noon... For lunch, it seems there are no ingredients left at home..." Asakura shuffled into the kitchen in his slippers and opened the refrigerator. He couldn't help but scratch his head at the empty shelves—it was so empty that it was too shabby for a refrigerator; even Jerry would shed tears upon seeing it.
"I guess I'll eat out..." Just as Asakura was thinking about what to eat out, his phone chimed.
He picked it up and found that it was a message from Gokou Ruri.
In Asakura's impression, Gokou Ruri only spoke in group chats and rarely messaged him privately like this.
It wasn't that they had a bad relationship; it was just that although the girl always put on a cold demeanor, people who didn't know her might think she was a bit arrogant. But Asakura knew very well that Gokou Ruri was actually quite shy and timid, which was why she didn't often initiate conversations.
Originally, Asakura was actually a bit worried about her, but later, after Nukumizu Kaju also became a Magic Society reserve member, she often went to play with Gokou Ruri. It was said that they often ate bento together at school, so they had someone to look out for each other, which also put Asakura's mind at ease a lot.
He opened the message, and the message was concise and clear.
[Kuroneko: Help]
Asakura frowned and quickly ran to the entrance, grabbing the soft felt hat, the same style as the Futo Hard-boiled Detective, from the shoe cabinet and putting it on his head. While quickly changing his shoes, his fingers also rapidly typed out text at a speed once known as the 'Flash Acupuncturist'.
[Snake's Life is Also Life: Where are you?]
[Kuroneko: Akihabara]
[Kuroneko: By the station]
[Snake's Life is Also Life: I'll be right there]
Asakura quickly calculated the route in his head, then decisively teleported directly to the Great Blessing. From school, he ran to the track and field club, borrowed a bicycle from Yakishio Lemon's friend, then quickly rode to the nearest station, and then transferred to a train to quickly rush to Akihabara Station.
After getting on the train, Asakura finally relaxed a little, but his nerves were still taut.
He quickly used Line to ask the girl what had happened.
[Kuroneko: The online community I often stay in is holding an offline meeting today...]
Huh? Is she not in some kind of danger?
Asakura was startled.
[Is there something wrong with that offline meeting?] he asked.
[Kuroneko: No, I just think I should be fully prepared]
[By the way, what kind of community is that?] Asakura asked again.
[Kuroneko: A chat group for otaku girls]
[Kuroneko: Of course, I also investigate urban legends and such]
[So, you're looking for me to give you courage?]
[Kuroneko: I will be in the open as bait, please protect me from the shadows.]
Isn't this just asking me to embolden her... …
Asakura sighed helplessly. He thought something dangerous had happened to her and was startled, but now he was finally relieved.
But then again, Gokou Ruri's personality seems to have undergone subtle changes?
When I first met this child, she didn't seem to be so sensitive and shy… … Was it influenced by the Magic of the Snake?
Asakura decided to pay more attention to her on weekdays to prevent any accidents.
As soon as he exited the train station, he saw Gokou Ruri.
It's not that Asakura's eyesight is so good. After all, in a place with such a large flow of people, even the passive infrared vision of the Magic Snake is not easy to use. It's just that the girl's dress is quite special.
She was wearing a gothic black and white long dress, and under the skirt, you could see her calves wrapped in gray pantyhose, and below that was a pair of well-maintained, shiny black leather shoes.
The girl was wearing a headband somewhat similar to a modified version of a Katyusha on her head, with two dark red small flowers on it.
Of course, what was even more eye-catching were the girl's furry cat ears that looked 'realistic', which instantly elevated the girl's cuteness by several levels.
Even in Akihabara, where there are many strange costumes, the girl's dress can still be regarded as outstanding, making her visible at a glance.
In fact, many people around were secretly glancing at the girl, after all, Gokou Ruri's beautiful face, coupled with the beauty mole that added a lot of charm, was indeed quite eye-catching.
"Are you not hot at all?" Asakura came to the girl's side.
It's almost June, and the summer heat has already occupied most of the country. Because of the heat island effect, the temperature in places like Akihabara is as high as the housing prices during the bubble economy. Even if the train station has heating, the sultry feeling is probably not much different from the outside after being offset by the huge crowd. I really admire this child for being able to wear clothes that look so stuffy, and not having a single drop of sweat on her face… …
"I have a film of demonic aura open to block the heat," the girl said mysteriously.
"A film of demonic aura?" Asakura looked at her suspiciously.
Perhaps she was a little shy from being stared at by Asakura—after all, it was a little weird to act out chuunibyou in front of the 'real deal', so Gokou Ruri blushed and said softly: "It's actually cooling spray."
"Oh, no wonder I smelled a sweet fragrance… …" Asakura suddenly realized, but for some reason, the girl's face became even redder.
Her cherry lips moved slightly, and she muttered in a mosquito-like voice, "I used an unscented type… …"
Unfortunately, Asakura's Magic Snake does not have the ability to enhance hearing like the Magic Cat (but it does enhance the sense of smell when sticking out its tongue), so he did not hear the girl's words clearly.
"What did you say?" he asked curiously.
"No, it's nothing… …" The girl stammered and shook her head: "Actually, Takuma didn't need to come so quickly, it's still early before the meeting time… …"
"Is that so," Asakura stroked his chin: "By the way, Ruri, have you had lunch yet?"
"No, I plan to just eat something at the offline meeting… …" the girl replied.
"It would be too unsociable for you to be eating while others are chatting. I haven't eaten yet either," Asakura grinned, raised his thumb, and showed his teeth cheerfully: "Aibo, ramen ikuze!"
