Chapter 23 - 023: Arranging to Meet Yotsuya Miko

"Let's try it."

 Yotsuya Miko gritted her teeth softly, found Lin's email address, drafted a message, and sent it.

 Ding ding ding~~~

 On his way home, Lin noticed his phone chiming, took it out, and saw it was Yotsuya Miko.

 "The fish finally bit."

 A knowing, pleased curve appeared on his lips.

 He had temporarily acted as a 'paranormal enthusiast' precisely to bait Yotsuya Miko.

 He tapped open her message.

 Yotsuya Miko: "Good evening, Lin-san, I have something I'd like to ask you. Are you available?"

 Lin: "Go ahead."

 "..."

 With her phone screen reflected in her eyes, Yotsuya Miko hesitated for a moment, then began typing out a reply.

 ": Lin-san, do you know about me?"

 Lin slightly curved his lips: "Know what about you?"

 Their conversation felt like a riddle.

 Reading Lin's reply, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but gently grit her teeth, feeling he was deliberately toying with her.

 But she was asking for a favor now.

 So she could only suppress the slight exasperation in her heart.

 Yotsuya Miko: "Can you see ghosts and monsters?"

 Lin: "Are you referring to evil spirits?"

 Yotsuya Miko's eyes widened: "That's right, you can see them?"

 Anticipation welled up in her eyes.

 If Lin could also see them, she would have a 'companion'.

 They say there's strength in numbers, and perhaps they could find a solution.

 She no longer wanted to be woken by nightmares in the middle of the night, nor did she want to experience the terror of being scared by various evil spirits.

 Lin: "I can indeed see them."

 "He really can see them!"

 Yotsuya Miko's eyes widened slightly, her heart filled with both shock and joy.

 During their encounter that afternoon, Lin had indeed realized she could also see evil spirits, which was why he had said those things.

 After confirming Lin was her 'companion', various questions couldn't help but surface in Yotsuya Miko's mind.

 So she quickly typed her questions:

 "Why can you see evil spirits? Is it natural?"

 "Do you have any way to make people unable to see evil spirits?"

 "Or is there any way to keep evil spirits from approaching you?"

 "Since there are evil spirits, are there truly beings that can deal with them, like exorcists?"

 She sent a flurry of questions at once.

 In response, Lin, as if sensing Yotsuya Miko's eagerness, gave a slight smile and began to reply.

 "I know you're very anxious, Yotsuya-san, but don't be in such a hurry."

 Yotsuya Miko: "..."

 Lin: "Since you have so many questions, let's discuss them when we meet tomorrow."

 Yotsuya Miko: "???"

 Wait, you've piqued my curiosity now, and suddenly you're telling me today isn't convenient?

 Before she could reply,

 Lin's new email message had already popped up.

 Lin: "It's settled then. See you tomorrow at noon at school, in the Student Council Office. Good night."

 Yotsuya Miko: "..."

 Who said it was settled with you?

 I haven't even said anything yet!

 However, she was asking for a favor, so she couldn't say much.

 Yotsuya Miko: "Alright, see you at the Student Council tomorrow noon."

 Putting down her phone, Yotsuya Miko tightened the blanket around herself, closed her eyes, and silently pondered:

 "The meeting place is the Student Council Office. Could Lin actually be a member of the Student Council?"

 Before, she only knew that Lin attended the same school as her.

 She didn't know anything else.

 Now, her understanding of Lin had undoubtedly deepened a little more.

 With various thoughts swirling in her mind, sleepiness unknowingly took over, and Yotsuya Miko gradually drifted into slumber.

 Evil spirits wandered the streets.

 Yet not a single evil spirit entered a populated residence.

 It was as if an invisible barrier prevented them.

 …

 The night passed in a flash.

 A sliver of morning light broke through the darkness, gradually illuminating the world.

 The weather today should be good.

 ??: I woke up with a splitting headache;

 I guess I stayed up too late last night;

 Last night I buried my face in my pillow…

 The phone beneath his pillow played music, and Lin slowly opened his eyes, reaching out to turn off the alarm.

 "Mmm-hmm~~~"

 Getting up, he stretched, letting out a comfortable hum. Lin pulled up the blinds and opened the window.

 Sunlight streamed into the room from the balcony.

 After glancing at the blue sky and white clouds, Lin slightly curved his lips, turned, grabbed his clothes, and headed towards the bathroom.

 After a quick wash, he took a ten-minute warm bath.

 The warm water soaking his body gave him a feeling of coming alive.

 After his bath, he changed into the Private United High School student uniform.

 A black shirt, and a white double-breasted suit jacket.

 Paired with a blue tie and tie clip.

 The bottom attire consisted of matching white dress pants and brown leather shoes.

 The girls' uniform featured a ribbon.

 The bottom attire was a double-layered, black-inside-white, ruffled pleated skirt.

 After putting on his shirt and pants, Lin wasn't in a hurry to put on his jacket.

 Instead, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

 The time came to seven forty.

 After eating his fill, Lin, fully dressed, placed the textbooks he would need for the day into his backpack and left for school.

 Logically, he was now ageless and immortal, comparable to a god.

 There was absolutely no need for him to go to school.

 Lin's reason for going to school was very simple.

 To meet his 'wives' and open Codex entries along the way.

 In the worldview he currently knew, most heroines were at school; if not school, then where?

 Although there were many demons and monsters in this crossover anime world, none capable of harming him had appeared yet.

 Safety was not a concern.

 Naturally, he didn't need to spend all day thinking about how to become stronger.

 In this grand crossover anime world, where the surface was dominated by the rhythm of daily life, enjoying life was the best choice.

 Furthermore, interacting with Codex entries that were already lit up and had a friendly relationship allowed him to collect more Codex points.

 Reaching the point quota would grant rewards.

 The rewards were currently unknown.

 The collection progress for Codex points was currently ten percent.

 To receive rewards, he still needed some time to accumulate them.

 Lighting up friendly relationship Codex entries provided continuous Codex points.

 Engaging in various interactions with Codex subjects could increase the number of Codex points obtained.

 No matter the reason, even if it was just for his 'wives', going to school was a must.

 He simply desired them.

 Honesty, commendable.

 At eight-ten in the morning.

 Lin arrived at Private United High School, located in Bunkyō Ward.

 The area was almost entirely filled with students wearing identical uniforms.

 Many couldn't help but cast their gazes towards Lin.

 Some girls had stars in their eyes, looking utterly infatuated.

 Ignoring the stares of those around him, Lin walked through the school gate with a composed expression and a slight smile on his lips.

 Even though he had tried his best to rein in his extraordinary presence, in the eyes of ordinary people, he still appeared incredibly dazzling.

 Like a crane among chickens.

 Arriving at the shoe lockers on the first floor, he changed into indoor slippers. Lin then walked up to the second floor, heading towards the Class 1-C classroom.

 The moment he stepped into the classroom, the chatter of his classmates quickly faded, and silence fell.

 They all looked towards Lin.

 Watching him, as if he had become a different person, their astonishment was almost entirely visible on their faces.

 Lin's expression remained unchanged.

 He walked straight to his own spot, the King's seat, and sat down.

 A notification from the Codex of All Things came, having just instantly recorded multiple new entries awaiting illumination.
