In the lobby of the most luxurious hotel on Lily of the Valley Island, Sinnoh region.
The atmosphere was as silent as a cicada in cold weather. Not just the Nakano Quintuplets Lott had brought on the trip, or the two Nakiri Sisters-
But also Ash's family, Professor Oak's family, and the few other contestants staying here since yesterday-
Everyone dared not even breathe loudly.
When they saw Lott return, grabbing Erina and Cynthia, many instinctively covered their mouths and noses, afraid that breathing a little too heavily would attract Lott's attention.
They felt the pressure Arceus bringing about the apocalypse would give them was probably no greater than this.
"Yo~ Erina, you're back~"
Alice, who hadn't initiated a conversation with Erina since the Kuku Kuku no Mi incident, revealed a bright smile.
She proactively stepped forward, linking her left arm with Lott's right arm, which had been pointed at his forehead and had just been lowered, her lips curling into an unstoppable smile as she addressed her cousin:
"Wasn't yesterday a wonderful night?"
The anger in the hearts of the Nakano Quintuplets, who were already in a bad mood, was instantly replaced by shock.
'Sh-She's still going!?'
And as bystanders, Cynthia, Aunt Delia, and the others' eyes widened one by one.
Alice's words now were no different from to throwing a bomb into already boiling lava.
Erina was already full of anger, and upon hearing Alice's words, she immediately lost control.
Slap!
"Whoa~~"
Ash, holding the trophy, due to his personality, hadn't really figured out what was going on.
But that slap genuinely scared him.
Alice had already accumulated long-standing resentment towards Erina.
This slap, for her, was also a bomb igniting the gunpowder.
"You want to fight!?"
Alice said, reaching for Erina's hair.
But the moment her hand stretched out, her wrist was grabbed by another large hand.
"Lott! She hit me!"
Alice gritted her pink lips and shouted.
"So what if I hit you!? Do I need to pick a date!?"
Erina retorted.
However, as she said this, two streams of clear tears flowed from the corners of Erina's eyes.
At this moment, Erina only felt it was a bit hard to breathe. A taste mixed with sourness and bitterness surged onto her God Tongue.
It felt awful.
"Mom, what's going on?"
Ash blinked twice and asked Delia.
"Shut up, quick!"
Brock covered his best friend's mouth from behind.
"What are you all looking at? Get lost!"
At this moment, Gary came to his senses and scolded the surrounding onlookers.
Many contestants staying here were startled and instinctively turned to run outside.
Among them were even important figures like the Sinnoh's Elite Four.
But as they walked out of the hotel, Flint and the others came to their senses.
'Hey, wait, why should we listen to orders from a junior like you?'
Paul looked at Gary with disdain, inwardly cursing 'ass-kisser'.
…
That day, the big shots and ordinary folks in the group were disappointed.
Because there was no live stream, they didn't know how the follow-up plot developed.
But even without knowing the facts, it didn't stop the group friends from using their imagination to come up with a bunch of little stories.
[Saionji Sekai: I think Miss Alice Nakiri's actions are a bit inappropriate. If you like Mr. Lott, you can do it sneakily. Just hide it from your sister, isn't that enough?]
[Kotonoha Katsura: H-Hiding it isn't good either, right?]
[Ebina Hina: Speaking of which, I also find it a bit strange. Back at Shuchi'in Academy, Nakiri Alice-san seemed closer to Lott-san. But after graduation, it was Nakiri Erina who stayed by his side.]
[Sawanaga Taisuke: Ah, with so many beauties around Lott-san, if only he had the habit of live-streaming during... you know... when he's 'eating meat', the brothers in the group could at least have some soup.]
Seeing this message, even the hardcore pervert in the group like Kazuma, Zenitsu, and Miroku were stunned.
'Holy shit!'
'You've got some nerve, kid!'
At that moment, in the 30x gravity training room.
Genos, with a cold face, @-ed Ishigami Yu:
[Let's work.]
Half an hour later.
C-City, Planet Terra, Sakakino High School, Class 1-3.
Under the stunned gaze of the entire school's students, including Katsura Kotonoha, Saionji Sekai, Kiyoura Setsuna, and the others-
Genos held a severed head in his right hand.
Next to him lay a headless corpse.
It was Sawanaga Taisuke, who had just been spouting nonsense in the group!
Across from him, Ishigami Yu opened the chat group interface and clicked the camera function.
Then, he uploaded a picture.
Genos threw the head to the ground and also sent a message:
[Whoever dares talk nonsense again will end up like him!]
The perverts in the group secretly swallowed hard.
'Holy shit, that's too harsh.'
Kazuma, on his Planet Isekai, was so scared his heart nearly jumped out.
He occasionally chatted about lewd topics with this guy.
But thankfully, he was smart enough not to join in this time.
He didn't think he was safe just because he wasn't on the same planet as Lott.
If he had just agreed with a remark earlier-
These two would probably fly a spaceship over to kill him within three days.
"Let's go."
Genos casually tossed Sawanaga Taisuke's head aside and prepared to leave.
"R-Report,"
At that moment, someone in the class raised their hand.
The two about to leave turned to look.
While Saionji Sekai and the others were completely dumbfounded.
'Wh-Who is that?'
'These two devils were about to leave, why call them back!?'
Everyone turned to look.
The person who spoke was 'Kitahara Iori', a relatively unnoticeable presence in the class.
"What is it?"
Genos asked coldly.
Kitahara Iori pointed towards a skinny boy next to Saionji Sekai.
"Genos-san, Ishigami-san, this Makoto guy always followed that Sawanaga guy, fantasizing about Lott-san's women. I think he's very suspicious."
Upon hearing this, Ito Makoto's face instantly turned pale.
"Iori, you!?"
Saionji Sekai and the others looked at Kitahara Iori in disbelief.
Ito Makoto was simply terrified.
He never expected someone to stab in the back at a time like this.
"You, this guy, are obviously involved with Sekai, but you also want to chase after Kotonoha-sama! I've had enough of you!"
Kitahara Iori complained with tone full of resentment, then said to the two again:
"Gentlemen, I guarantee what I'm saying is true! I have recordings!"
"N-No, I, I-"
Ito Makoto, collapsed on the ground in fear, waved his hands repeatedly.
Ishigami Yu walked over, pulled off the bandage on his face, and said coldly:
"Look into my eyes."
Ito Makoto's expression froze the next second.
After about five seconds, Ishigami Yu took out a kunai.
Under the horrified gaze of Saionji Sekai and the others, he directly chopped off Ito Makoto's head.
Holding it in his left hand, he used his right hand to open the chat group's camera function again, attaching the same caption as Genos earlier:
[Whoever dares talk nonsense will end up like him!]
