The Raiden lineage was one of the upper families that had established themselves sihe beginning of Takamagahara’s dest. They were already a huge corporate group way back. It was due to their resources that they were able tanize swiftly and follow the re by the kamis and sns.

  Their wealth and sphere of influence was big enough to fit iop three.

  As such, when their family head died suddenly, the covetous people struck.

  For ohe wyer as well as the st will prepared by Mei’s father disappeared on the face of the earth. Their stocks on their maierprise—ME Corp—dropping sharply was but the least of their s.

  The seventh dest was the st straw. Everyone halted their as and withheld their troops, waiting for Mei to die alone, if not severely injured.

  It was just that things happened beyond their expectations.

  ‘That man…’

  The ma a strong chill on his spine. His steps remaieady, yet nobody knew of the internal turmoil within him.

  ‘Three strikes to kill a sn. Nobody could do such a thing… until now.’

  Izumo was far more teologically advanced pared to Earth. It was a trifle to obtain a high-resolution satellite feed on the seventh sn’s death.

  Three strikes.

  The first was the unknown attack that created huge bck cracks in the sky. It teracted the Fmebringer’s attempt t down aire try with orike.

  The sed was the attack that brought the sn to its knees. Upon closer iigation and reverse dedu, they found aremely heavy object thrown at it. Its calcuted mass was high enough it distorted space. That henomenon only present in bck holes.

  Finally, the third attack sliced it to pieces. Its body turned into a ke of bck fluids that should have permaly created more kamis. Strangely, not a single kami otted on the ke itself.

  These feats that were nothing short of miracles were done by the blue-haired man who apanied Raiden Mei.

  “Sigh…”

  Hakuhatsu’s plicated thoughts turned into a deep sigh. They prevented him from sendio the Raiden lineage—more so when his family owed the previous head a favor.

  Now, they were the ones who implicitly pushed him forward to meet with Mei.

  His thoughts were halted wheekeeper returned. His entry to the huge residential plex was allowed.

  Numerous vils greeted his eyes. The people present in this pound took a g Hakuhatsu. Some of them greeted with body gestures, while there were others who ht ignored him.

  These small gestures stirred his inner flict again. It was a sign of his aturity. He wielded the Sentinel known as Heaven's Winter Cloak. But, he still hasn’t sat in the position of a family head. There was still a process to be gohrough before he did.

  Uhe mixed reception of the residents, he stopped in front of anate. He pressed the doorbell. Moments ter, the door opened.

  “Miss—”

  Hakuhatsu did not finish his words whe a pair of golden pupils.

  It was the man who caused a huge uproar three days ago.

  He did not feel something special from the man at first, though it was only his thoughts ‘gging’.

  An enormous warning sign appeared in his mind, followed by the arm bells that ht said he would die if the man in front of him wao. Cold speared on his back.

  Everything could be summed up in three words: a living god.

  “Please, enter. Miss Mei is busy training. It won’t take long before she pletes it, though.”

  “Ah… I uand.”

  Uhe blue-haired man’s guidance, Hakuhatsu was sent to the guest room. He removed his shoes a long time ago.

  ‘He’s floating..?’

  It wasn’t noticeable at first, but the man’s tabi (socks) did not tact the ground in the slightest.

  When this realization struck him, he found the man looking at him with a smile.

  ‘First, the strict Mei. Then, the pyful Kevin.’

  Aleph could not help but think of this irony.

  During these past few days, he sought for another renowned character in Izumo—Hakuhatsu Ki. He was supposed to fight Mei at the end.

  Spoiler: Mei wins.

  heless, it did not hinder Aleph’s troublemaking tendencies.

  ‘It’s like their identities are reversed…’ He thought. ‘Parallel worlds are iing.’

  Suddenly the time he spent in this world popped up in his mind.

  Aleph vaguely k would not be very huge. But, he did not have a ratio.

  ‘They should be able to hahings over there…’

  His gaze shifted from Kevin’s expy to Mei’s figure.

  Unlike before, she wore a loose white t-shirt and bck gym pants. Her figure was more than 80% simir to his Mei, only losing on the breast aspect.

  Three days ago, he gave her three teiques—Juezhao, Sphere Boundary, and Bde Mantra. The simirities of honkai energy and their divine power made it possible for the st oo be used.

  The majority of Aleph’s thoughts were serious things, but a small part of it was made of unserious thoughts, such as now.

  ‘I’m turning into a pervert…’

  ****

  Fourth Institute.

  Looking at Aleph who eacefully sleeping on the chair, Mei pursed her lips. A b covered him… along with Kurumi who y her head on his right arm.

  “One month…” She muttered before shifting her gaze to Kurumi. “It looks like his first isn’t destio be mine.”

  By this time, Kurumi would have thrown a remark.

  This time, she did not.

  “It doesn’t matter.”

  Mei’s clear voice echoed on the empty basement level.

  “What you did… I will do better.”

  “Hm. Only if you knew…”

  Thinking of Aleph’s nigh unlimited stamina, Kurumi’s legs trembled. She thought of summoning more than two es at a time, but she knew herself how chaotic that se would have been.

  Their banter ended here. The two did not have any iions to show hostilities, more so when it was they themselves who agreed to it. Even Hua’s entry did not elicit muegative rea from them.

  Tap.

  Tap.

  Tap.

  Mei’s heels created a rhythmic sound.

  She was about to leave this basement level when she reminded something:

  “Don’t fet about Mobius. Suppressing an active volo does no good things.”

  Kurumi lifted her head from Aleph’s arm. She saw Mei’s figure ehe elevator.

  “Mobius… She bsp;fulfill her desires as she wants.”

  A hint of pride resounded in her words. Unfortunately, there wasn't anyone who could hear it.
