Chapter 36: On an Island
"So they really just vanished like that?"
"So amazing! So Satoru really is that incredible~!"
"He only became that strong after kissing someone, you know."
"But Satoru's own abilities are quite powerful too, and he's so clever and handsome..."
"Sis, what did you say?"
"N-nothing!"
After witnessing Satoru and Kurumi enter that strange space before disappearing from sight, the girls present began chattering excitedly.
It had to be said, what just happened was simply too astonishing.
Abilities like spatial teleportation, something only seen in anime and television, had actually appeared right before their eyes.
It seemed this world still held many mysterious powers beyond ordinary people's imagination.
"Honjo, aren't you going with them?"
However, someone noticed something seemed off.
Ayano looked curiously at the silver-haired girl who had already taken out her gaming device, curling up on the sofa to play games.
Though she was also a Spirit, she hadn't gone along.
Weren't there supposed to be dangers later? Wasn't she going to help?
"My combat abilities are pretty poor~ So rather than getting in the way over there, I'd rather stay here and watch the show~"
"..." xN
Then why did you even come here?
Seeing her so content and carefree, everyone felt an overwhelming urge to complain.
Although Satoru had done some "despicable" things before and usually acted frivolous, at least he always got things done.
So everyone understood that beneath his cold exterior, he actually had a warm heart and enjoyed helping others.
But Nia...
Well, to be honest, since joining the club, she'd never done anything serious.
And that was indeed the case.
She herself had zero interest in the three-dimensional world.
It was only recent events that had caused some changes in her.
But asking her to actively handle troublesome matters? Please spare her—she really didn't want to lift a finger~
"Watch the show? We can't see anything at all."
"Oh, almost forgot. Then let me project it for everyone~"
"Huh?" xN
Hearing Nia's words, everyone couldn't help feeling puzzled.
But then she extended her right hand, and a black book materialized.
"Rasiel, real-time projection~"
With Nia's casual tone, the book began projecting images onto the wall in front of them.
"This spot should work, right? Seems like an uninhabited island, and there's no one within dozens of kilometers. Shouldn't be a problem."
"Ara~ Bringing me to a place like this so suddenly, are you planning to do something shameful, Satoru~?"
"If you want to, I don't mind either."
"Fufu~ Then that depends on your performance, Satoru~"
"..." xN
Is this...
A remote projector?
Watching the scene unfold, everyone couldn't help showing delighted expressions.
The view was of an island, quickly zooming in on a specific location where two familiar figures appeared.
It was Satoru and Kurumi, who had just vanished!
Not only could they see them clearly, but they could even hear their voices distinctly.
Is this Nia's ability??
"Pretty neat, right~? My ability is quite convenient. I can see whatever they're doing now, even if it's something private~"
"..." xN
Uh, this...
Should we really be peeping at such things?
"Hahaha~ Just kidding! I'm only tracking them using Reiryoku. If they shield themselves with Reiryoku, I won't be able to see anything."
Fortunately, Nia quickly laughed and denied it.
Actually, among Spirits of the same level, easily spying on each other was fundamentally impossible.
Nia previously couldn't find any information about Kurumi until she met her in person, analyzed her Reiryoku, and confirmed her identity. Only then did she gain more information and achieve a certain level of tracking capability.
But if Kurumi didn't want to be tracked and actively shielded herself, Nia wouldn't be able to track her.
"But right now, it looks like things are getting serious~"
As Nia spoke, everyone focused their attention on the screen, holding their breath and watching nervously.
Because Satoru had pointed the tip of "Michael" toward Kurumi and then...
Suddenly stabbed it into Kurumi's abdomen!
"Michael Segva!"
As Satoru twisted the Key in his hand, Michael began radiating dazzling light, making Kurumi frown deeply. Black energy started swirling around her body...
But then, the energy suddenly began transforming, gradually being replaced by white!
Brilliant, pure white energy completely supplanted the black, and even Kurumi's body turned pure white along with it...
"Ara? Where... am I?"
Then, the white girl looked around confusedly, her demeanor completely different from Kurumi's.
"Are you... Yamauchi Sawa?"
"Eh? Y-you know me? What is this place... Ugh! My head hurts..."
