"Ah~"
"Seriously, I'm sleepy at home, and incredibly sleepy at school. Speaking of which, it's not even winter yet, so why is there fog?"
Walking on the way to Sobu High School, Ichika yawned, then looked at the faint mist surrounding her.
"Maybe it's some unusual weather. Anyway, we should get back to school as soon as possible."
Nino brushed her hair back, narrowed her eyes, and said. They now had the blessing of the Wing Contract. Although they only had the combat power of a Great Knight, their aura perception was very strong. Nino did not feel anything strange in this white mist, which meant that the white mist was natural fog, nothing special.
"By the way, Nakano Yu should already be at school, right?"
Ichika nodded slightly, then suddenly mentioned Nakano Yu, who had already gone to school using Gusting Wind and Raging Waves.
Actually, this morning they had planned to go to school together, but their father suddenly called, so Nakano Yu went to see Nakano Maruo, while the five sisters set off for school first.
In any case, the school was not far from the villa. They could reach the school in just a few steps. And these past two days they had flown to school in an instant. Although fast, it's better to do that only when they are occasionally late. Walking and looking around along the way is also nice.
"Probably. Let's hurry as well."
Itsuki said, quickly running toward the gate of Sobu High School not far away. Seeing this, the other four sisters quickly followed her.
However, while the few of them were running toward Sobu High School, outside the world wall directly above them, a snow-white giant phantom whale slowly appeared, then quietly disappeared again.
No one noticed this scene. Everyone thought today was peaceful as usual.
Nakano Yu thought the same. At this moment, Nakano Yu was lying bored on his desk.
"Actually, you can get tired even of looking at girls."
Sighing, Nakano Yu muttered.
"Oh? So Nakano Yu doesn't want to see me and Kotonoha?"
Miura Yumiko, who was sitting at the desk in front of Nakano Yu and chatting with Katsura Kotonoha, raised her eyebrow when she heard that and asked.
"Of course not! I come to school only to see my cute Yumiko and Kotonoha."
Nakano Yu said, reaching out to grab Miura Yumiko's cheek and gently pinching it with his fingers.
"Nakano Yu wasn't this eloquent before."
Katsura Kotonoha said with a slight smile, looking at the young man, her eyes full of Nakano Yu's figure. In just a few years, she would marry Nakano Yu, and at that time she would surely be very happy.
Meanwhile, Miura Yumiko pushed away Nakano Yu's hand and said with emotion, then suddenly as if she remembered something, her expression became a little strange:
"Nakano Yu is really the same as before. Oh, right..."
"Nakano Yu, did something happen between you and Yuigahama Yui?"
"Yuigahama Yui?"
Hearing Miura Yumiko suddenly say this, Nakano Yu was surprised, then looked at her in confusion.
Did something happen between him and Yuigahama Yui? It seemed not. He remembered that the only thing between him and Yuigahama Yui was probably that situation with the spider with a human head?
After he saved Yuigahama Yui, Yuigahama Yui asked him a strange question, something about whether he remembered her.
However, Yuigahama Yui did not seem very satisfied with his answer at that time; she seemed a bit unhappy after he finished speaking.
But Nakano Yu didn't think much about it at the time and left directly after not staying long.
"No."
After confirming that his relationship with Yuigahama Yui was clean, Nakano Yu answered with complete certainty.
"I understand, alright..."
Seeing Nakano Yu so certain, Miura Yumiko nodded thoughtfully, her eyes flickering, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Yumiko, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Nakano Yu asked, somewhat curious. He didn't have much contact with Yui, and Miura Yumiko should know that. But Miura Yumiko wasn't the type to cause trouble for no reason. Since she asked, something related must have happened.
"Actually, it's like this."
When Nakano Yu asked, Miura Yumiko pursed her lips, and in the end decided not to hide it, explaining what she had learned two days ago:
"It was when I went shopping with Yui that day. At that time, Yu's reputation on the internet reversed, and I was so happy that I planned to go out and celebrate with friends. But when I went to Yui's house to find her, I saw that she was even happier than me, and..."
At this moment, Miura Yumiko paused, her expression became a little strange.
Even now, she couldn't forget the scene she saw that day. Although Yuigahama Yui hid it very quickly, Miura Yumiko was now far beyond ordinary people, so no matter how fast Yui reacted, she still saw it.
That day, she went to find Yui as usual, and happened to run into Yui's mother who was leaving, who then left the door open for her.
Miura Yumiko intended to surprise Yui, so she didn't call out to Yuigahama Yui downstairs. She quietly went upstairs and, when she reached the door of Yuigahama Yui's room, she heard a strange sound.
Miura Yumiko could not mistake that sound. She immediately froze, then turned around and went downstairs. Only after calling Yuigahama Yui's name downstairs did she go upstairs again.
As soon as she reached the door of Yuigahama Yui's room, the other side quickly opened the door and greeted her.
At that time, Miura Yumiko saw a pillow with Nakano Yu's image and several posters in the room.
It was obvious that Yui didn't go shopping with her that day, but said she had a fever, that she was flushed and dizzy, and that she needed rest. Miura Yumiko was also stunned at the time and didn't ask further. After comforting Yui a few times, she left with a shaken worldview.
That incident troubled Miura Yumiko for several days. She didn't know how to deal with it. Actually, if Yui wanted to, Miura Yumiko wouldn't mind Yui being with Nakano Yu. After all, so many people like Nakano Yu, and one more person beside him wouldn't make a big difference.
Moreover, her relationship with Yuigahama Yui was so good that such things wouldn't bother her.
The key thing was that she didn't know how to start it. She couldn't just go to Yui and say: "I know you like Yu, I can match you two together," right?
That would definitely embarrass Yuigahama Yui. Although Miura Yumiko was quite direct, she wasn't stupid.
"And then?"
Seeing Miura Yumiko suddenly stop, Katsura Kotonoha and Nakano Yu asked at the same time.
The two of them were so curious, but Miura Yumiko couldn't say the most important part.
"In any case, it's just... Oh, that's Yui, she... she likes Yu!"
Stuttering, Miura Yumiko ultimately did not reveal that incident. She was worried that if she said it, Yuigahama Yui would be seen as a perverted girl by Nakano Yu.
"Oh, I see. Yui... you mean Yuigahama-san?"
Hearing this, Katsura Kotonoha showed sudden understanding and asked Miura Yumiko for confirmation.
She knew Yuigahama Yui. After all, her relationship with Miura Yumiko had been getting better and better, and she occasionally came into contact with Miura Yumiko's social circle. She remembered that Yuigahama Yui was a very cheerful girl, with a very relaxed personality and behavior.
Earlier, Katsura Kotonoha noticed that Yuigahama Yui would always subtly mention Nakano Yu in conversations, and occasionally try to indirectly inquire about Nakano Yu's current situation.
At that time, Katsura Kotonoha felt that the girl might have feelings for Nakano Yu, but due to the presence of Miura Yumiko, she could only hide her feelings.
Katsura Kotonoha did not expose Yuigahama Yui after noticing it, because she was only guessing and was not sure whether Yuigahama Yui really liked Nakano Yu. It would be awkward if she didn't.
Moreover, and more importantly, how does Yu view this matter?
Thinking of this, Katsura Kotonoha's gaze fell on Nakano Yu, and Miura Yumiko also looked at the young man, waiting for his answer.
Seeing the two girls looking at him, Nakano Yu twitched his lips and said:
"With you two looking at me like this, what else can I say? Yumiko will take care of this, right?"
"So, Yu, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Miura Yumiko was still a little unsure of Nakano Yu's thoughts.
"I've never seen you two push your boyfriend like this. It's fine as long as you don't mind."
Rubbing Miura Yumiko's head, Nakano Yu said helplessly. He himself quite liked Yui; after all, in a certain sense, she was also his beloved.
Seeing that Nakano Yu had no objections, Miura Yumiko smiled and said:
"In any case, if there is mutual affection, it's better to build ten temples than to destroy a marriage!"
"Yumiko is right."
Katsura Kotonoha also nodded, agreeing.
"There's really no helping you two."
Sighing, Nakano Yu shook his head and looked out the window. But when the young man's gaze fell on the window, he frowned.
The usually clear sky was completely covered at this moment; outside the window, there was only a vast expanse of fog.
"Speaking of which, it's not winter yet, right?"
Frowning deeply, Nakano Yu asked the two girls beside him.
"Not yet, but today the fog is really thick. It wasn't like this when I came to school this morning."
Katsura Kotonoha also looked out the window together with the young man. When she saw the thick fog outside that showed no signs of dispersing, she also spoke in confusion.
"There was a bit when I came today, but it wasn't this thick then. Yu, nothing bad is going to happen, right?"
Miura Yumiko said honestly, and as she spoke, as if remembering something, she looked at Nakano Yu and asked.
"I'm not sure. Maybe it's just ordinary fog?"
Nakano Yu shook his head. He had just completely released his aura and did not sense any Heretic God or strange phenomenon.
But aside from Heretic God and strange phenomena that could cause this kind of situation, Nakano Yu could not think of anything else that could cause it.
Suddenly, Nakano Yu's body stiffened, and he suddenly remembered the changes in the world bubble he saw with his Eyes of Peeking Fate last night.
"Damn, is the current situation due to a world anomaly?"
Thinking of this, Nakano Yu's mood gradually sank. He had to go out and see what was going on with that thick fog.
"Well, for now, Kotonoha and Yumiko, you two stay at school. I'm going outside for a moment."
Nakano Yu finished speaking, stood up and left, not giving the two girls a chance to react.
After leaving the classroom, Nakano Yu went directly to the rooftop, then immediately used Gusting Wind and Raging Waves to soar high into the sky.
But as soon as he rose, a strange cry entered Nakano Yu's ears:
"Uuu~~"
Hearing the sound, Nakano Yu was startled.
That sound, why did it sound so much like... the cry of a whale he heard on the internet?!
