Longing for a youthful life, Yuta, in order to have a perfect 'date' with Nibutani on Sunday, specifically took out his dark notebook, which he had decided to keep forever and which recorded countless embarrassing moments from his chuunibyou phase, to trick Rikka into leaving on Sunday and not disturbing their date.
Fang Wuwei, recalling this plotline, had been intentionally paying attention to Yuta and the others' chuunibyou settings ever since he noticed the flickering magic circles and faint magic power when Rikka and the others were acting foolish; perhaps he might really discover something.
So, he decided...
"Eh! Scarlet-Eyed Honored One, are you going too?!" The next day, when Rikka and Totsuka were discussing finding the legendary Special Point at school, Fang Wuwei interjected into their conversation and showed great interest.
"No way... It's hopeless, Wuwei..." Yuta grimaced from the side, muttering about how he was supposed to have graduated from chuunibyou, but he was still the same as before.
"That's great, Death! Scarlet-Eyed Honored One went to the Other World not long ago, Death! With him leading us, we'll definitely be in our element, Death!"
— — — — This is a peachy dividing line — — — —
Time flew by, and soon it was the agreed-upon Sunday.
The three of them, holding the dark notebook, gathered downstairs at Yuta's home.
"At four in the afternoon, the second hands of that world and this world will overlap.
At that time, head to where the shadow of the 13th high-voltage power tower from the train station points..."
"Only 4 hours left, let's go quickly."
"Ah ah, so excited, Death! Totsuka wants to eat curry rice in the Other World, Death!"
Rikka and Totsuka ran off, while Fang Wuwei followed unhurriedly, looking up at Yuta who was watching from his home's balcony.
"What's wrong?" Yuta asked, if they didn't catch up, Rikka and the others would run too far away.
"As a brother, buddy, I'll say this one last time, Yuta... keep a normal heart, okay~ Hahaha..."
Just then, Yuta received an email from Nibutani: "I'll be there soon, only one stop left."
The allure of a youthful life was right before his eyes, and Yuta had no time to bother with Fang Wuwei; he waved his hand impatiently in acknowledgment and went back inside to get ready.
In response, Fang Wuwei smiled and shrugged.
He had said all he needed to say; now it was up to Yuta.
...
"Speaking of which, Scarlet-Eyed Honored One, do you know how the Other World operates? Do they also fight by relying on the magic power in the air?"
"No, Death! There are also spirits in the air, Death!"
Facing Rikka and Totsuka's innocent questions, one after another, Fang Wuwei always had the illusion that he was babysitting.
"Who knows? There are many Other Worlds.
The Other World I went to before, no one there used magic.
However, Other Worlds are also different from each other, just like our world; perhaps there's even an inner world or something similar."
"Oh oh... Inner World! That's a good setting!" Rikka exclaimed with a look of excitement, "Although my Evil King's True Eye has long since detected the existence of the inner world, I'm very happy that you, Scarlet-Eyed Honored One, can also discover the inner world's existence.
This way, we can complete the survey of the invisible boundary line sooner..."
Hearing "invisible boundary line" from Rikka's mouth again, Fang Wuwei always had a strange premonition; perhaps, the invisible boundary line really did exist...
— — — — This might be a dividing line — — — —
When the time reached four o'clock, the location Yuta gave to keep Rikka from disturbing him was quite far.
Everyone hurried, and by the time they reached the so-called 'place where the shadow of the 13th high-voltage power tower from the train station points,' there were only a few minutes left until four o'clock.
Looking at the two people posing under the utility pole, Fang Wuwei raised his watch and checked it.
There were 15 seconds left until four o'clock, and his expression was solemn.
The three draws he had received from consecutively slaying three transmigrators earlier yielded two pieces of junk and one talent: "Magic Power Perception."
And relying on this talent, Fang Wuwei could feel the magic power in the air of this area rushing towards this open space at an incredible speed, gradually gathering at one point, continuously solidifying.
Fang Wuwei took off his eye patch, revealing his Sharingan, and stared intently in the direction pointed by the tip of the high-voltage power tower's shadow.
This outing was just a routine excursion for Rikka and the other, part of their daily activities, but for Fang Wuwei, this would be the answer he had always sought—
3...
2...
Fang Wuwei stared intently at his watch until the second hand reached exactly four o'clock.
In an instant, the already solidified magic power burst forth, and a powerful magic power storm impacted Fang Wuwei's body and spirit.
It really exists!
Fang Wuwei's pupils constricted sharply.
A large amount of magic power appeared out of thin air, and the aura it emitted was completely out of place with this world—magic power filled with wildness and darkness, washing over Fang Wuwei's spirit.
With his Magic Power Perception fully open, he felt a needle-like stinging pain pervading his entire body, from inside out.
Although Fang Wuwei, with his Sharingan activated, saw nothing, he could perceive countless solidified magic power, both from this world and appearing out of thin air, converging at one point.
That was the [Special Point]!
Before Fang Wuwei could carefully sense its existence, the countless solidified magic power flashed and disappeared instantly.
No new wild magic power appeared out of thin air, and Fang Wuwei's needle-like stinging sensation began to rapidly alleviate, indicating that this wild magic power was gradually disappearing—or rather, being transformed into the extremely gentle magic power of this world.
The Special Point appeared for exactly one second.
Fang Wuwei was drenched in cold sweat.
This world might be much more complex than he thought...
"What's wrong, Death, Scarlet-Eyed Honored One?"
Fang Wuwei remained dazed for a long time until Totsuka's voice came from beside him.
Only then did Fang Wuwei snap back to reality and put his eye patch back on.
"You've been very strange since just now, Scarlet-Eyed Honored One."
Fang Wuwei felt an unprecedented sense of comfort in his spirit and a significantly greater amount of magic power in the air.
He was now more energetic than ever.
He shook his head, "I'm fine, I just got washed over by magic power from the Other World..."
"Eh! Did Scarlet-Eyed Honored One see the Special Point, Death?!"
"Really?! What's the magic power from the Other World like?!"
"Well... the magic power from the Other World is full of wildness and darkness.
I felt uncomfortable just being washed over by it, so that place is definitely not a good one..."
...
On the way back, since Totsuka and Rikka had walked for nearly four hours, the two, lacking exercise, had no desire to walk back.
So, they decisively decided to take a taxi.
Rikka didn't care; she was already used to Totsuka's extravagance.
Totsuka didn't care; she had more than enough pocket money.
Fang Wuwei didn't care; with his system, he wasn't short on money at all.
So, they only took less than half an hour to return to Yuta's home downstairs.
As soon as they approached, the three saw Yuta and Nibutani gathered around a small brazier, with flames burning brightly within it.
It's fire!
The two saw the brazier and ran wildly towards it, posing around it.
The moment she saw Totsuka, Nibutani's mouth twitched; this junior high kid really gave her a hard time.
"You're back?" Yuta looked at Totsuka and Rikka in front of him, and Fang Wuwei slowly approaching from not far away.
"It's regrettable that our abilities were insufficient, and we failed to find the Special Point... But! Scarlet-Eyed Honored One found it and even received the baptism of Other World magic power!"
Hearing Rikka's astonishing words, Yuta's mouth also twitched involuntarily.
There was really no saving this Wuwei.
But...
Fang Wuwei walked up and patted Yuta's shoulder, looking at Nibutani sitting on the ground staring at the brazier, "How about it, wasn't I right?"
Yuta's expression was sad.
Fang Wuwei had indeed been right about Nibutani having ulterior motives.
Goodbye! My youthful life!
Seeing this, Fang Wuwei couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Don't be discouraged.
I know what you're thinking.
If you want to sing the praises of youth, you don't have to hang yourself on one tree, right?
I can tell you, you've already met the one destined for you."
"Really?!" Yuta's heart was greatly stirred, and he regained hope.
Fang Wuwei just continued to smile, patted Yuta's shoulder, and said nothing more.
"Well then, I'm leaving first.
Totsuka, don't forget what you promised me, okay?"
"No problem, Death!" Totsuka, who was about to ask Yuta for the dark scripture, turned around and replied.
Having received her answer, Fang Wuwei turned and left, no longer paying attention to Totsuka and Nibutani, the starting point of a fated relationship that progressed even faster than the protagonists'.
