Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

Stepping forward, Harumura Seigi unhesitatingly went inside.

“Besides, I think the chances of us fighting are very low.”

…

Inside the completely sealed building, there was a cylindrical device made of tempered glass, more than four meters in diameter and about ten meters long, resembling a fish tank.

It was filled with a red liquid.

And within that red liquid was a person suspended upside down.

He was wearing a pure green surgical gown, hanging headfirst in the red liquid, his knee-length silver hair spread out like wires in all directions, precisely arranged to each strand.

Judging by appearance alone, he seemed to be male, but his facial contours had a feminine softness to them.

But what was even more impossible to ignore were his emerald green eyes.

In those emerald green eyes, there was no emotional fluctuation, filled with indifference towards everything, a feeling like he was a great sinner who couldn't care about anything.

And in front of this man were hundreds, even thousands, of virtual screens floating.

His eyes were constantly moving, following the ever-changing data on the screens.

It was at this moment that his moving eyes suddenly stopped, and the screen he was watching froze with his gaze.

“Strange, is it this person again?”

His Adam's apple bobbed, a voice like a murmur echoing within the man's body.

At the same time, the screens in front of him, which had already stopped, began to spin wildly in reverse.

The virtual screens, which had been displaying other scenes, almost all unified their displays at this moment.

Appearing on them were all scenes of Harumura Seigi.

The time span extended from just now all the way back to the moment when Harumura Seigi rescued the distraught Misaki Shokuhou.

“Changes in behavior and personality over half a year, and the sudden display of spatial abilities.”

The upside-down man suddenly fell silent.

A wise light flickered in his calm eyes.

“Has he gone from insignificant to being able to interfere with the main storyline?”

The screens in front of him were still scrolling rapidly, but next to each image, various percentage calculations were displayed.

“In that case, let's meet once.”

“Need to confirm some things.”

…

The environment remained unchanged: old streets, dilapidated residential areas, and at night, not even the streetlights were lit.

No, it couldn't be said that there wasn't any light at all.

There was a building that was brightly lit, like a torch suddenly lit in a dark forest, particularly conspicuous.

“It feels like it's been a while.”

“I wonder if Komaba is here today.”

A black gap appeared again in front of Harumura Seigi. Staring at the room on the top floor, locking onto the location, Harumura Seigi disappeared again.

And the front desk lady, who was diligently working at the front desk, didn't notice at all that a man had paused at the door for a few seconds.

When he reappeared, it was in a pitch-black room.

The room was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, a stark contrast to the other brightly lit rooms.

But Harumura Seigi was very familiar with navigating around the various obstacles in the office, and he knew exactly where the light switch was.

Instantly!

Bright lights dispelled all the darkness in the room.

A clean and bright office immediately came into Harumura Seigi's view.

The layout of the room hadn't changed at all, even though Harumura Seigi hadn't been here for seven months. It was still as clean as new, showing that the room was regularly cleaned.

Moreover, the room didn't lack activity.

The lollipop wrappers and sticks buried in the trash can next to the coffee table indicated that someone frequented this place.

As for who could do such a thing in his office?

Without thinking, he knew.

“Knock, knock, knock—!”

A violent knocking sound rang out directly.

“Seigi-niichan, Seigi-niichan, are you back?”

A crisp loli voice followed, and judging from the frequency of the knocking, the little one outside was definitely using both hands and feet.

“What is this? Speak of the devil, and he shall appear?”

Harumura Seigi quickly stood up from his chair, and with a joyful mood, he walked quickly to the door.

With a 'click', the door opened, and a black shadow flashed in from outside, like a homing swallow, instantly pouncing into Harumura Seigi's arms.

Harumura Seigi also directly reached out and caught the small body that pounced over.

“Familiar scent, as expected, it's Seigi-niichan.”

The little girl in his arms frantically rubbed against his chest.

Her appearance was like a lovesick girl, sniffing all over him.

“Fremea, long time no see.”

That's right, besides Fremea, who else could it be?

After seven months apart, Fremea's height was still so tiny, and she hadn't gained any weight. She was still so slender, so slender that Harumura Seigi didn't dare to hug her too tightly, afraid of hurting her directly.

“It really has been a long time.”

“Why didn't you answer my calls? I thought Seigi-niichan hated me.”

The Fremea in his arms raised her little head, staring at Harumura Seigi with her pair of emerald green eyes, looking wronged.

“I couldn't hate anyone more than I could hate Fremea.”

Maintaining this posture, Harumura Seigi closed the door, carried Fremea to the sofa.

“Then why didn't you answer my calls?”

Fremea was still very aggrieved.

In the past six months, she had lost count of how many calls she had made to Harumura Seigi. Sometimes, when she went to bed at night, she would curl up in her quilt and dial Harumura Seigi's number one by one.

“That's because I had very important things to do.”

“Not being able to answer Fremea's calls was purely an act of God.”

Gently stroking her smooth golden hair, Harumura Seigi said patiently.

“Liar!”

As a result, before Harumura Seigi could finish explaining, Fremea's little mouth had already pouted.

“Members clearly saw Seigi-niichan wandering aimlessly on the street.”

“And yet you say you're busy, Seigi-niichan is lying.”

Fremea was very angry.

Her Seigi-niichan rarely came here before, sometimes only once every half a month.

So even if he hadn't come for half a year, the other『Zodiac』members wouldn't feel anything unusual.

But she and Komaba-niichan were very clear.

Seigi-niichan was very strange.

In the past, although he rarely came here, as long as the two of them called Seigi-niichan, he would definitely answer.

If『Zodiac』encountered a crisis, Seigi-niichan would definitely come to resolve it.

As a result, in these seven months, whether she and Komaba-niichan called or went to find him in person, they couldn't find Seigi-niichan.

Sometimes there was clearly information that Seigi-niichan had returned home.

After Komaba-niichan went to open the door, he couldn't find anyone in the room.

“I really can't explain this.”

Harumura Seigi let out a wry smile.

How was he supposed to explain to this little girl, Fremea, such an absurd thing as him traveling to another world?

“How about this?”

Harumura Seigi's tone became much gentler.

“I promise Fremea that even if I go incommunicado, it will never be for more than a month, is that okay?”

Harumura Seigi's attitude was quite sincere.

He didn't treat Fremea perfunctorily just because she was a child. Fremea could feel Harumura Seigi's sincerity, and her attitude softened.

“Then, okay.”

Chapter 157 Meeting Aleister

“Tomorrow I want to go to the amusement park.”

The little loli in his arms stretched out her little hand and protested loudly.

“Even if you say that, you have school tomorrow, right?”

“How could I possibly take you tomorrow?”

Harumura Seigi looked at the golden-haired loli in his arms with droopy eyelids, complaining weakly.

He had indeed not lived in this world for a long time.

But that didn't mean he had completely lost his sense of time in this world. If he remembered correctly just now, today was Thursday, tomorrow should be Friday.

This little loli undoubtedly had to go to school tomorrow.

“But I want to go, I want to go…”

“Onee-chan's work is always very busy.”

“Going with Komaba-niichan would also be very conspicuous.”

The atmosphere around Fremea visibly dropped.

The youngest Fremea was indeed the group's favorite in『Zodiac』. Because of the strict rules set by Harumura Seigi, the members of『Zodiac』were all young men and women who looked fierce but were very kind.

In such a group, the appearance of such a small child made everyone very fond of Fremea.

But she was closest to Harumura Seigi and Komaba Lead, the two men.

Talking and acting cute with the Onee-chans in the group was usually fine, but she didn't want to go out and play with them.

“Then let's wait for the holiday.”

“When the holiday comes, I'll take you to play.”

Harumura Seigi gently stroked Fremea's head again.

Ever since he picked Fremea up, he had been doting on Fremea as if she were his own child.

After all, it was really hard not to put love on a sensible and cute bundle of joy who mixed into a group that fought every day.

“Yay, that's great.”

Fremea was so happy that she even jumped down from Harumura Seigi's lap.

“Alright, it's getting late, kids need to rest early.”
