Chiaki Chihara was having a headache over the matter of him joining the Basketball Club's Manager Department.

Even though his relationship with Akaji Jun wasn't that estranged, it didn't feel right to ask him out of the blue.

Chiaki Chihara's relationship with most of his classmates was in a delicate balance. It wasn't too bad, but it wasn't too good either. Most of them were just nodding acquaintances.

There were only three people who broke this delicate balance. Divination, who had a good relationship with him; the class monitor, Akashiji Seijuro, who had a good relationship with everyone else; and the publicity committee member, Tsuki Simura. Both of them were manga enthusiasts.

'I guess I'll have to wait a while …' Since he had never joined a club before, it didn't matter if he joined in the first year. However, in the second year, he would definitely join in the Basketball Club's Manager Department.

As usual, Chiaki Chihara returned home after school. After checking the class he was in charge of, he unexpectedly picked up a wrist guard from the ground.

He flipped the wrist guard over and saw the name "Ryota Hwang Se" embroidered on it.

From Chiaki Chihara's understanding of Ryota Hwang Se from Class B, this guy wouldn't have the time to embroider his name on his wrist guard. It seemed like a gift from a young girl to Ryota Hwang Se and then accidentally lost it.

Regardless … it was better to get up first.

After putting away the wrist guard, Chiaki Chihara quickly left the school.

He had something important to do tonight, so he had to go back early.

After Tarō Tarō came back, he quickly explained what happened in school and This Pill to everyone. Everyone quickly realized the importance of the matter. Even though a diploma wasn't very important to the Divine Inquisitor, it was important to make the Divine Inquisitor better. Therefore, the result of the discussion was that everyone wanted to find an English tutor for their Divine Inquisitor.

"If it's a class, it has to be one-on-one. With the Divine Inquisitor's English foundation, it's impossible for him to attend a cram school. Also, we have to watch from the side," One Vibration said seriously.

He clearly remembered that when the Divine Inquisitor was in the first year of the cram school, the teacher sincerely brought the Divine Inquisitor to their home and sincerely said that he couldn't teach this student.

"We don't know what happened in the Modern World …" Tarō Tarō shook his head.

"We can look for Brachyceps!

Brachyceps is obviously a cultured person! "Chiaki Chihara excitedly suggested.

"My Lord, you're from a different era.... and Nine, you're from China's era.......... and every time you meet, you only talk... and.............

Chiaki Kihara shrunk back under the condemning gazes of the crowd and didn't say anything.

"Let's ask our neighbor, the Nuyori family," Yamato Mamoru said as he hugged the pillow.

"My Lord, you were close to them when you were young. Plus, we live in the Modern World. We know each other's identities, so it's easier to ask them. What do you think, My Lord?"

"… Put down my Fate-limited Okita Soji pillow first," Chiaki Chihara said as he stared at Yamato Mamoru.

"That's a good idea," Candlestick Tachibana nodded. "Let's not waste any more time. Let's pay them a visit now."

The Fu Mourning God's suggestion was unanimously supported. After the discussion, Tarō Tarō, who had a gentle temperament, and One Vibration brought the Divine Inquisitor to visit the Nuyori family.

Nuyori Lu Sheng was Chiaki Chihara's neighbor and childhood friend. They went to the same elementary school.

Nuyori Lu Sheng was one grade younger than Chihara. They often went to school together, and they were good friends.

Moreover, the two families knew each other very well. Lu Sheng's family knew about Chiaki Chihara's identity as the Divine Inquisitor. Chihara's This Pill also knew that the Nuyori family was a family of demons. Therefore, they had always been on good terms.

However, when Chiaki Chihara was admitted to Teiguang Secondary, and Lu Sheng was admitted to Ukiyo-e Secondary School, their interactions gradually decreased. However, the Fu Mourning God of This Pill would go to the Nuyori family to drink tea with the old man when he was free. The demons of the Nuyori family would also look for the Fu Mourning God of This Pill to have tea with Chihara's Fu Mourning God. They were happy and harmonious, just like a family.

Chiaki Chihara had always thought that a boy like Lu Sheng, who was so thin and easy to push down, had nothing to do with the Fu Mourning God of Demons. When they were in elementary school, he was even bullied by his classmates. Therefore, Chihara had always treated Lu Sheng as his younger brother.

However, after Chihara's classmates were dragged into the woods after school and beaten up, they all apologized to Lu Sheng the next day.

Of course, in the end, Chihara was also slapped by Ishikihimaru Papa. Her butt was swollen for three whole days.

That was probably Chiaki Chihara's deepest impression of Lu Sheng.

When they arrived at Lu Sheng's house, Tarō Tarō politely greeted Shouwu who was sweeping the floor at the door. Shouwu waved at them as if they were old friends. Then, he shifted his gaze to Chiaki Chihara.

"Oh, you brought Miss Chihara here today. The little girl has grown a lot taller."

"Hello, Brother Shouwu," Chiaki Chihara greeted him politely as usual.

"We're here today because of Chihara's matter. It's about the modern world … Anyway, sorry for disturbing you," One Vibration said embarrassedly.

"It's fine. Our families are close!

Why are you being so polite? "The tall Kuroda Shun took over One Vibration and said generously.

"Why don't you all come in first? It's not good to let our guests stand outside in the cold wind," Owner Qing Fang said.

Lu Sheng Jun must have been a young master who didn't know about the world when he looked at the house that was as big as his This Pill and surrounded by so many Monster Lords.

"Hey!!!

Is Sister Chihara here? "

A young man's panicked voice came from the room. Chiaki Chihara tilted his head slightly and made eye contact with Lu Sheng who was frantically packing his things.

"Yo," Chiaki Chihara waved at him expressionlessly.

"Little girl, it's been a long time since you came over to play. How was it? Did you miss Lu Sheng?" Lu Sheng's grandfather said to her with a smile.

"Yes," Chiaki Chihara thought for a while and answered seriously.

However, Lu Sheng Jun was still short … He seemed to be half a head shorter than her.

Then, the adults started to discuss their own matters. Chiaki Chihara knelt on the floor and scratched the floor with his toes helplessly. Lu Sheng seemed to be a little nervous as well. He looked at his grandfather and then looked back.

"Chihara … Do you want to go out for a walk?"

"Ah, sure."

Chiaki Chihara naturally took Lu Sheng's hand and walked out with him.

"Chihara, you still remember the way here?" Lu Sheng asked in surprise.

"Of course. Didn't I always come here to play when I was young?" Chiaki Chihara thought for a while and continued.

"I remember one time when I forgot to bring my keys and slept here for a night … Is that right?"

"I didn't expect Chihara to remember it so clearly …" Lu Sheng said embarrassedly.

Chiaki Chihara pulled him to the backyard and sat down on a random step. The view from this spot was very good as it was facing the cherry blossom tree in the middle of the courtyard.

"How's Lu Sheng Jun doing at Ukiyo-e High School?" Chiaki Chihara asked as he cupped his face.

"Not bad. I've made some new friends … How about you, Chihara -kun?"

"Mm, I'm doing fine too." Chiaki Chihara nodded. She tilted her head slightly and looked at the cherry blossom tree in the middle of the courtyard.

It was not the season for the cherry blossom tree to bloom, but this one was still in full bloom.

It was very similar to the cherry blossom tree that he used This Pill on. As long as he had enough spiritual energy, he could keep the cherry blossom tree in full bloom.

"I'm going to the toilet."

Perhaps it was because they had not seen each other for a while, but the atmosphere between the two of them was unexpectedly awkward. Chiaki Chihara broke the awkward atmosphere between the two of them and stood up to leave.

The sun was setting in the horizon. The golden-orange sunlight fell on her body, bringing with it a faint warmth.

However, when Chihara came out, the sky had turned completely dark. The dark purple mountain range swallowed the warm golden sun, and the surroundings seemed to have been dyed black in an instant.

"Lu Sheng Jun, I'm back."

When she returned to her original spot, Chihara was surprised to find that Lu Sheng was gone.

"Could it be that he left because the atmosphere was too awkward … As expected, I'm not good at communicating with others."

The wind blew gently, brushing against her skin. It was a little itchy. Chiaki Chihara tucked her hair behind her ear and raised her head slightly. When her gaze inadvertently met the cherry blossom tree, she was stunned.

The silver-haired man was sitting on the cherry blossom tree, leaning slightly against the trunk of the tree. His eyes were slightly closed, and the side of his face that was as sharp as a knife seemed to be coated with fine silver under the moonlight. He gave off a cold feeling.

Wait … Lu Sheng's house didn't have such a thing before, right?

Could it be a new demon?

Chiaki Chihara was dazed. She subconsciously took a step back. The silver-haired demon opened his eyes. His blood-red eyes looked at her, but they were unexpectedly gentle.

Oh, oh hoo!

Almost at the same time, Chiaki Chihara took out her phone from her sleeve pocket. She quickly found the best angle and took a picture in front of the demon.
