Although Rikka was still avoiding Yuta, her heart was already restless, and unable to bear this inexplicable palpitation, Rikka decided to completely resolve this problem.
First, if something cannot be solved by oneself, then the strength of others is needed.
Rikka, who was walking around the campus looking for a solution, immediately saw Koushou taking a nap on the school lawn as if no one else was around.
Holding the bento she had just packed away, Rikka walked up and woke up Koushou, who was napping. She decided to start with Koushou to help herself break through this unknown paradox.
Koushou had always enjoyed going along with Rikka and her antics, and she didn't mind having her nap interrupted at all. She cheerfully joined Rikka in her discussion, and so she followed Rikka to the courtyard to find a place to sit and slowly discuss Yuta's problem.
The perpetually chuunibyou Rikka naturally attributed her abnormality to some chuunibyou setting. She called it the 'Space Paradox.' She believed that she was so strange because the 'Space Paradox' caused Yuta and herself to be affected by the 'Evil Curve Singularity.' As for why they were affected, she also attributed it to having taken him to the 'Bureau's Sphere of Influence' back then, where some spell was cast upon them.
The translation is: Ever since she and Yuta went to her hometown together, she has felt very strange, with a stirring in her heart.
However, Koushou, who was always slow and naturally clumsy, didn't feel that Yuta was any different; she only felt that he was always very normal.
But Rikka had her own set of explanations...
"Ordinary people can't perceive it, but my Evil King's True Eye has produced a clear reaction..."
Covering her right eye, which was covered by an eyepatch, Yuta's face reappeared in Rikka's mind, and her face instantly flushed red...
"I can only barely control it now, without causing a greater impact, but I feel that if I'm even slightly careless, blood will gush from all my pores...
Especially when I get close to Yuta, my heart beats faster. I... I really can't stand it."
"So that's why you've been keeping your distance from him recently?"
"Hmm... especially the verdandi Yuta. His eyes are too dangerous. Just one glance at him, and I feel like something is going to rush into my body, turning everything upside down...
It's all the influence of the Special Point, how terrifying..."
Recalling what Yuta had done recently, he seemed to be actively dealing with the influence of the Special Point and finding his true self, but the progress seemed not very optimistic, so she decided... she must also help Yuta solve the Special Point!
So she dragged Koushou to the junior high department, preparing to find more helpers and enlist her attendant, Totsuka Sanae, to assist...
After the two had left, two heads peeked out from behind a wall not far behind them.
"Did you hear that, Fang wuwei?"
"It's confirmed, confirmed. I even filmed it."
"...Where did you get that camera, and it looks so advanced."
"System-produced, don't worry about it. Now Rikka is also actively looking for countermeasures. It seems we need to work harder. You handle Rikka, and I'll go do some ideological work on Yuta. The script also needs to be changed. Let's just add a kissing scene. I'm telling you, the show's effect will definitely be explosive..."
"You're a bit too extreme... And what if... Togashi-kun doesn't like Takanashi?"
"Don't worry... He doesn't have the option to refuse this, unless his head is harder than my fist..."
............
Rikka found Totsuka to discuss the matter, and the result of their discussion was that Yuta really had a problem, and Yuta couldn't solve it alone, so they needed their help.
Even with such a big matter, Rikka still decided to solve it in a chuunibyou way, so they agreed to completely solve the spell cast on the Dark Flame Master on the next full moon night.
Actually, it was tomorrow.
After the discussion, Rikka actually didn't quite dare to return to the classroom... Due to Toka's words of concern for Rikka that she had said to Yuta at the time, and the pushing (strong) and aiding (insistent) of Nibutani and Fang Wuwei, Yuta's offensive had intensified greatly during this time, and her little heart couldn't quite take it...
Fortunately, she found Nibutani, who was in the courtyard for some reason, and returned to the classroom with her. After returning, she found that Yuta didn't pay too much attention to her; he merely looked over when she returned and quickly averted his gaze. As for the reason...
"Come on, Yuta, let's have a good chat, brother..."
"Wuwei... You freaking..."
Time flew by, and the next day, Nibutani invited everyone from Club to her home to discuss the School Festival program. She planned to use this discussion to finalize the flash mob script and then properly distribute the tasks.
However, on that day, the most crucial people—Yuta and Rikka—didn't come. When asked why, Koushou simply said, "It's the full moon night today, you know."
On the other hand, Fang Wuwei, the moment he walked into Fang Wuwei's room, felt that something was not right... The concentration of magic here was higher than in the normal atmosphere.
He walked over to look at the plants Fang Wuwei had placed on the windowsill, but Fang Wuwei warned him not to touch them, saying it would affect the feng shui. So Fang Wuwei understood...
As expected of Morisummer...
On the other side, Yuta had actually already changed his clothes and was preparing to go to Fang Wuwei's house as invited, but he suddenly received a text message from Rikka:
"At the time of the waxing moon, gather at the shrine."
Those two short lines immediately dispelled Yuta's plans. In his heart, Rikka's position was clearly higher. He immediately stood up Nibutani and went to the shrine for the appointment.
The shrine was a bit far from home and required a short climb up a mountain path. Although a bit tired, Yuta had no resentment in his heart; instead, he was somewhat joyful: Rikka was willing to communicate proactively, which was a good thing no matter what.
It was already quite late, and it was summer, so he had several mosquito bites on his arms. There were also calls from mountain birds and wild dogs in the woods, which, although a bit creepy, Yuta still came.
"Rikka? Are you there?"
Passing through the somewhat dilapidated large Torii, this shrine was the very one Rikka had prayed at to pass her final exams. As soon as he arrived, Yuta eagerly called out to find Rikka. With a steady gaze, he could see Rikka standing squarely in front of the shrine, dressed in clothes that perfectly matched her temperament and style, her small face slightly flushed as she watched Yuta approach, a little unnatural about her.
"It's so late, what do you want to do?"
"I'm sorry, Yuta..."
Rikka didn't know what she was going to do. She only knew that when she left home today, her mood was very complicated and nervous. She even kept trying on clothes suitable for her out of anxiety, just to see Yuta, just for some unknown Special Point...
She just wanted to resolve the palpitation in her heart, but not knowing what that inexplicable palpitation was, she could only choose the most primitive method.
When Yuta heard Rikka's sudden apology, his heart instantly relaxed. Rikka seemed to have come out of her awkwardness, and he no longer had to worry about whether she disliked him. Although she called him out to such a distant place late at night just to say sorry, it was very much Rikka's style, so he didn't think too much about it. As long as Rikka was happy, it was worth it.
But very soon, the illusion was about to be shattered.
"I will defeat you!"
"Eh?"
Rikka suddenly struck a battle pose, her face still slightly flushed, and declared war on Yuta.
As Rikka's voice fell, Totsuka, who had been squatting nearby, suddenly appeared and slammed her hair-tied sandbag onto Yuta's head, making him scream in pain.
"I truly saw death! It's the Special Point!"
"What on earth is going on?!"
Looking at Totsuka, who was swinging her long hair behind him, Yuta posed a soul-searching question to Rikka in front of him, but his tone was even more relaxed. Perhaps his heart had already begun to rejoice.
Oh ~ sweet and delicious dog food ~
