Rikka who swells her cheeks like a hamster approach me while holding a large amount of canned food.
She eats the canned food thatâs about to expire.
What are you made of?
ăThis has gotten slightly troublesomeă
I answered Rikka while looking at the insect user shaking as she sit on the sofa.
Rikka who stuff the packed ingredients in her cheeks like a hamster swallows it down then tightened her expression as she come to me.
ăNo problems with filling your energy?ă
ăItâs fine. I didnât consume that much energy today. Besides, we can go without food for days, I can go on full power without supplementing energy in our current situationă
Oh, she can go without food?
Since I saw that, I thought that Rikka has a very bad energy consumption but in fact it wasnât that bad.
Furthermore, she can work full power for five days without being supplemented.
ăThen, what happened?ă
Looking up at me cutely like a puppy, Rikka asks in a sweet voice then glanced at the insect user.
Rikkaâs fawning on me but sheâs not lowering her guard even for a moment.
After her fight with me, then the insect user, sheâs experiencing steady growth.
ăKamuro Hizuki mightâve awoken some troublesome abilityă
Rikka twitched when I say that.
But, Rikka didnât shake. Even if sheâs shaking, her heart isnât.
Her sister is beside Kamuro Hizuki after all.
ăIâll prepare for interceptionă
Rikka mutters with a serious look, she immediately made up her mind fighting her sister.
I feel happy about that if Kamuro Hizukiu marches in with her dog, Kazahana, they will definitely kill each other.
Kazahana and Rikka, both of them wonât back down.
ăWe donât need to intercept. Weâll receive it headfrontă
ăRikkaă
ăIâm Masterâs dog! My sister is Hizukiâs dog! Itâs normal for the two of us to protect the two of you! Thereâs no grudge! Itâs the dogâs pleasure to fight for their master!ă
Rikka desperately clings.
For the sake of protecting their masters, they will fight.
The two wonât go back. Theyâll fight until death.
Then thatâs a waste.
ăI-I was seenâŠă
Wondering how to persuade Rikka, the insect user mutters while trembling. As a result, I take a look at her mind.
ăKuhă
I felt my skin feeling goosebumps, a terrible chill runs up my spine and cold sweat pours out.
The eyes captured that insect.
Kamuro Hizukiâs eyes who hold the insect looks at us.
ăT-The heavenly eye mediating eyes, that mans it opened the third eye. I-Iâve read it in the documents. H-However, I didnât know what the third eye is. B-But, is that so? I-Iâm sorry for letting that happenă
Embracing herself, the insect mutters as she tremble with her face turned pale.
Weâre being watched.
Kuku, I give up.
Iâve told Kamuro Hizuki before. Your ability is small. I feel like Iâve been retorted with completely the same words.
ăTamamushi, get away from the insect right now. If not, your spirit wonât last!ă
Kamuro Hizukiâs looking at me through the eyes of the insect user. Though I can endure it somehow but the insect userâs spirit connected to the insect is looking directly at her eyes
The insect user allowed Kamuro Hizuki to interfere with her mind though the insect but her spirit will collapse if this continues.
ăI-Iâm trying. Iâm doing it even if you donât tell me. But no good. I canât avert from those eyes. I canât run away from those eyesă
Holding her head with both hands, the insect user mutters while trembling.
Is this the power of clairvoyance? Itâs not just watching but also interfering with the spirit?
ăTamamushi! Put your consciousness on me!ă
I speak and rush towards the insect user, I kneeled and grabbed her shoulders to match our eyes.
ăAhâŠaaahâŠă
Shit, her pupils are completely opened.
Her eyes are open but she doesnât see me.
ăTamamushi! Run! Throw everything at me!ă
I shouted while shaking her shoulders intensely.
No matter how strong the ability is, even if youâre immortal, itâs over if your mind dies.
ăTamamushi! Youâre older than me! Youâre timid and villainous! Youâre a sore loser who fell to the darkness! Then, show me that you can run away!ă
As I shout, I look through her mind then forcibly snatched what she sees.
Thereâs another different eye apart from Kamuro Hizukiâs two eyes.
ăŒSuzuhara-kun âĄ
Iâm being seen. Everything.
ăŒYo, arenât your eyes improved so well?
I answered Kamuro Hizuki who sees through all unfathomable fear
ăŒAre you scared of me?
ăŒFufu ⥠Aah ⥠youâre really stronger than anyone âĄ
ăŒI love you
ăŒI know
ăŒI love you âĄ
ăŒThatâs why I canât forgive that woman
ăŒAh? H-Hey, bitch, no way.
Suddenly, as if the TV turns off, Kamuro Hizukiâs eyes disappeared.
Tap, something hits my chest and I returned to my consciousness.
ăHaa, haa, haa, haaă
The insect user fell on my chest, breathes roughly while trembling.
But, the insect user was peeped by Kamuro Hizuki.
No matter what method is used, she knows that sheâll get an overwhelming defeat.
In a sense, the insect user is killed.
ăM-MasterâŠă
Rikka whoâs standing behind me asked uneasily.
ăKazahanaâs fine. Also, Kamuro Hizuki wonât be coming hereă
Kamuro Hizuki turned her consiousness away from me and turned it to someone else.
ăSheâs going to Asahinaă
Anger and chill rushes up my spine.
No matter how much power she has, in the end Kamuro HizukiăŒ
ăSo youâre escaping that way?ă
Iâm disgusted at Kamuro Hizuki to the bottom of my heart but if she challenged me straight ahead, then I intend to accept it.
Itâs another talk whether Iâll accept her or not but at least, I intended to confront her right ahead.
I donât like it by all means.
I donât intend to defeat Kamuro Hizuki at all.
Asahinaâs no more. Her spirit will definitely be destroyed.
Since I wonât make it in time, I should abandon her. ButăŒ
ăRikka, stay hereă
I let the insect user lie down on the sofa, stood up then ordered Rikka whoâs behind me.
ăNeveră
Rikka answered clearly.
ăI order you to stay behind. Is the dog going against her masterâs order?ă
ăYesă
Rikka nodded without hesitation.
If Rikka comes with me, Rikka will definitely fight Kazahana.
Then, someone from them will definitely die.
ăYou will kill your sisteră
ăAs expected of Master. Master intends to win against Hizukiă
She will kill her sister. It means that Rikka will win against Kazahana. Then it means that I will beat Kamuro Hizuki. Rikka realized that.
ăRikkaă
ăYes!ă
I turn back and called Rikkaâs name, Rikka looks up at me then replied.
ăThen, you will come with me everywhere I go!ă
I look down on Rikka then ask her.
Rikka opened her eyes wide from those wordsăŒ
ăFufu, Masterâs very strict.ă
Troubled, yet she said it with a soft smile.
Come with me wherever I go.
Because, she wonât be able to follow me if she dies.
ăWhereâs your response?ă
When I ask with a grin, Rikka shows a troubled face then smiled.
ăI-Iâll try my bestă
ăProtecting master is above everythingă
ăEheheâŠplease donât bully meă
ăWhatâs wrong on bullying dogs?ă
Looking down at Rikka whoâs smiling though looking like sheâs about to cry, then she snorts.
ăDo I really have to answer?ă
ăYeahă
I nodded at Rikka who tilted her teary eyed head.
If she answers, Rikka will have to follow me no matter what. Sheâll never be allowed to die.
ăThen, Iâll stop being Masterâs dogă
I leaked out a sigh because of Rikka but I canât scold her.
But Rikkaâs skin, no, she felt with her her other senses; vision, auditory, olfactory, taste, and touch.
Then, Rikkaâs judgement is probably right.
ăIt feels like I lost to you for the first time.ă
Saying that, I pat Rikkaâs head and then stroked her head.
Rikka said that sheâll stop being my dog but she intends to keep following my orders until the end. No matter how desperate the situation, sheâll protect me then sheâll survive.
When I saw Kamuro Hizukiâs eyes, to be honest I give up. I canât think of any countermeasures. No matter what I use, I can see no future but her seeing through everything.
But, though sheâs far higher than me, Iâm fully aware that Iâll be enemy with someone with the same ability type.
Itâs really a troublesome ability.
ăI-Iâll go with youă
The insect user whoâs lying on the sofa said while trying to raise her trembling and pale body.
ăŒT-That girl was too much of a monster. I donât want to be involved as much as possible but it was me who made a move on that girl. Iâm sure sheâs having a grudge. Then, the probability of surviving by going with this man named Suzuhara might raise. That girl is charmed by this guy.
The insect user doesnât think that she wants to help but but how she can survive.
Also, sheâs someone that moves on the feeling of gain or loss, sheâll betray me calmly once sheâs at disadvantage but she wonât when sheâs at advantage.
Sheâs easy to use in some meaning.
ăIf you want to come then you donât need my permissionă
ăI-Iâd want to run away if possible but I feel like I canât run away from those eyes. Iâll be in trouble if you donât work hard. Thatâs why Iâll lend you my poweră
The insect user answers me with a cramped smile.
Able to hide her true intention of using me for her own survival, sheâs so honest Iâm amazed.
ăIs this the sincerity of a small villain?ă
ăIf you accept it as such then letâs leave it as thată
The insect user shrugged her shoulders when I asked her.
ăMaster. I hate this oneă
Rikka glares at the insect user from behind, then she raised an unpleasant voice.
ăWell, donât say that demi-human lass. Iâm useful. Itâs better to have useful things next to youă
The insect user grins at Rikka then laughed sarcastically. Hearing those words, Rikka frowned her eyebrows to show displeasure.
The insect user have high pride but in fact her personality gives priority to surviving than her pride.
ăTamamushi. If you want to be our ally then you need Rikkaâs consent. If you ask me, shouldnât you kneel to beg?ă
ăUmu, very wellă
The insect user puffed her chest from my question, she gets off the sofa and sat on the floor. Then, she looked up at Rikka with a tightened expressionăŒ
ăLass, this is what you call adult mannersă
Saying that, she knelt in front of Rikka without hesitation.
Rikka looks at the insect user. Sheâs quite displeased but Rikkaâs character canât just attack someone whoâs kneeling.
ăWhat do you think demi-human lass! Have you lost your words to this superb dogeza?! If you want I can lick the hole of your ass! Or would you like to step on my head?! Now now, what will you do demi-human lass! Do what you want!ă
Raising a laugh while kneeling, the insect user is praising herself.
Rikka looks down at the insect user, she frowns her eyebrows without saying anything.
Sheâs disgusted that she canât say any complaints.
ăOkay, letâs go thenă
ăMaster asked me! Donât answer!ă
Leaking out a sigh, Rikka speaks out her criticism to the insect user kneeling.
ăLassă
Criticized by Rikka, the insect user raises a low voice while in dogeza, then Rikka took a stance with a stiff expression.
ăIf you donât mind it then fine. Try stepping on my head!ă
The insect user speaks proudly while keeping her dogeza.
Well, courage is needed to abandon pride. In a sense, the insect user is definitely an adult.
Though I know I wonât make it on time, I ran towards the school.
ăMaster! I should go ahead!ă
ăStop it lass. Itâs too late to turn the tables even if you go ahead. Besides, clairvoyance is the worst compatibility against the body reinforcement. In the first place, itâs good when you make friends with it but that ability is your natural enemy if you antagonize her. Thatâs heavenly eye. Thereâs no need to be pessimistic since the opponent is too difficultă
When I try to answer Rikka, the insect user replied instead of me.
She really likes talking., Well, sheâs not wrong.
ăDidnât I tell you! Iâm talking to Master!ă
Rikka got angry at the insect user who talks without permission, she shouts at her exposing her displeasure.
ăThen thereâs one thing for you to do. Listen carefully and donât fail to listen your treasured master. Only your master who has the similar ability to heavenly eyes is likely able to compete with ită
Rikka frowned and looks like heâs about to complain to the insect user but she didnât reply.
Sheâs annoyed to agree. She looked away and pouted.
ăŒEverything she says is annoying. I hate her.
Rikkaâs mind complains while she sulks.
It canât be said as good but itâs not bad either.
ButăŒ
Rikka aside, the insect user is the type with physical strengthening, searching ability, and long distance attacking ability. In short, sheâs versatile.
In addition, Iâm the weakest when it comes to fistfight.
It feels unpleasant somehow.
Arriving at school, we go to the back of the school building thatâs about to close down, we rush towards the forest and to the empty space.
The sight I sawăŒ
ăI donât like youă
ăIs that so? Then? I donât care if you hate me thoughă
The two girls face each other and exchange a conversation Asahina and Kamuro Hizuki.
Their foreheads are pushing against each other, Kamuro Hizuki stares at Asahina with dead shot eyes.
On the other hand, Asahina pushes her forehead undauntedly but shows a fearless smile, sheâs looking at Kamuro Hizuki overwhelmingly.
ăWhy are youă
Pushing her forehead, glaring at Asahina, Kamuro Hizuki curses Asahina as if sheâll kill him.
ăWhat?ă
Asked by Kamuro Hizuki, Asahina pushes her forehead and asks back with an overwhelming arrogant attitude.
Why is Asahina okay?
In short, Kamuro Hizukiâs ability is definitely overwhelming me.
And yet, why is Asahina calm after seeing Kamuro Hizukiâs eye? Why can she smile? Why can she still be straight?
ăW-Whatâs with that girl? Why can she smile looking straight to those eyes? Could it be that sheâs an idiotă
The insect user canât understand it just like me, she asks me while trembling in confusion.
ăSuzuhara-sama
Startled by the voice I heard, Kazahana was standing in front of me.
Kazahana is looking up at me with a nostalgic smile as if we havenât seen each other for years.
ăSuzuhara-sama, thank you very much. Hizuki, my lord has finally decided to face herself. In order to obtain you, she decided to confront the existence that she must beat alone. Everything is thanks to Suzuhara-samaă
A calm voice and smile.
What is Kazahana talking about? With Kamuro Hizukiâs current power, it should be easy to collapse everyoneâs minds and obtain me.
Thereâs no need for a confrontation.
ăYouâre too selfish. You think that itâs normal for Suzuhara-kun to want you. You believe that Suzuhara-kun is obviously wanting you. Why are you so selfish and arrogant?ă
Kamuro Hizuki mutters while glaring at Asahina.
ăWhat?ă
Unaffected by Kamuro Hizukiâs gaze, in fact, Asahina snorts as if ridiculing her as she push her forehead.
ăAre you an idiot? Why am I selfish and arrogant? I know that you love Suzuhara-kun. But you see, I donât remember asking Suzuhara-kun to like me. Suzuhara-kun selfishly fell for me and raped me. In my case, itâs nuisance to other people. I-have-never-said-that-I-want-him-to-like-me!ă
Showing a fearless smile, Asahina speaks with an overwhelming arrogance and haughtiness, she forces her forehead against Kamuro Hizuki.
ăKuhă
Kamuro Hizuki groaned, desperately pushes her forehead but gets gradually pushed back.
ăN-Nee-san Nee-san, why are you smiling?ă
Rikka who canât understand the situation just like us, asked Kazahana with a trembling voice.
ăEh? Why you ask? Isnât that obviousâŠă
Kazahana looks up at me then looked at Rikka who tilted her head. ThenăŒ
ăThatâs because Hizuki seems to be having fună
She said while laughing happily
Fun? That?
ăIf you want Suzuhara-kun then go get him. I donât mind. Because I donât even think that I want Suzuhara-kun at all. He just longed for me without permission and pursued me without permissionă
Asahina pushes Kamuro Hizuki gradually, she spits out words without hesitation.
ăDonât joke with me! Youâre just being arrogantă
Kamuro Hizuku shouted then pressed her forehead and retreated quickly. Then, she raised her right hand and swings it swiftly.,
A dry sound echoes, the palm that was caught by Asahinaâs cheek was swung down.
Asahina staggers. But, she wiped the edge of her lip with the back of her hand, looked up and smiled.
ăYouâve done it. Very well. Iâll take you onă
Asahina who was hit by Kamuro Hizuki hard raised her right hand.
Kamuro Hizuki retreated to dodge Asahinaâs slap.
It wasnât just chill. Unbearable chill with pleasure.
Kamuro Hizuki retreats with sweat coming down her cheeks. Asahinaâs defenseless in front of Kamuro Hizuki.
ăWhatâs wrong? I hit you. Then itâs your turn nextă
Asahina who pressed Kamuro Hizuki opened her eyes wide, lift her mouth then raised a voice, laughing from the bottom of her heart.
Kamuro Hizukiâs eyes are shaking, she retreats while trembling, Asahina steps forward and presses.
ăY-You didnât. You didnât hit me at all. I dodged ităŒă
ăThen what? I hit you. It doesnât matter if it touched or not. This is an exchange rule. I definitely hit you. Itâs your turn nextă
Asahinaâs palm cut the air. Kamuro Hizuki dodged it.
But, Asahina who claims to have hit Kamuro Hizuki urges her to hit back,.
ăIf you want to run away then run. I wonât tell Suzuhara-kun that you have backed off. You should just do what you want with your feelingsă
ăT-Then, why are you blocking meâŠă
Kamuro Hizuki asks Asahina back. Hearing that, Asahina forced her forehead to Kamuro Hizuki and pushed it.
ăDonât play dumb. Now, itâs your turn nextă
Asahina just moves forward and Kamuro Hizuki goes backwards under the moonlight.
Oh I see, I thought.
Even if the future is despair, Asahina keeps stepping forward, she tramples the despair aiming for the future.
No matter what method Kamuro Hizuki uses, Asahina will never shake and just keep pushing forward.
ăNo matter how amazing it is, itâs never versatile?ă
