Before the two could enjoy their tender moment, a strong flashlight beam shone on them, interrupting their beautiful reunion.
"Hey... hey, what are you two doing?"
It was a patrol officer who, hearing some commotion and vaguely hearing something about "hunting rifles" and "thieves," came to investigate, only to find a young boy and girl embracing on a rooftop, with the girl's face beaming with happiness.
To be honest, seeing this, he didn't really want to intervene... but he was a police officer.
Yuta and Rikka were a bit flustered. If they were caught by the police, it would be hard to explain. They were about to try to explain when they heard a scream from not far away.
"Ahhh!! Pervert!!"
The police and Yuta looked over and saw Nibutani and Isshiki Makoto standing nearby. Isshiki Makoto looked innocently bewildered at Nibutani, who had suddenly screamed. Although he understood that she was trying to attract the police's attention, he still had an ominous premonition...
Sure enough, Nibutani actually wanted him to play the villain, to become the "pervert" she was screaming about.
There was no other way. For his brother's lifelong happiness, and to live up to Nibutani's "expectations," Isshiki Makoto went all out...
Isshiki Makoto, with a lewd grin, rolled his hands, striking a pose like a perverted man, saying flirtatiously, "Come on, let grandpa touch you--"
Not to mention Nibutani, even Ikenouchi Maki, who was standing by, got goosebumps.
It didn't look like acting.
So Nibutani screamed even louder.
This naturally drew all the police's attention. Seeing a molester, the police officer didn't care about those on the roof anymore and immediately chased after Isshiki Makoto with his flashlight.
Isshiki Makoto was scared. He had been honest and law-abiding for most of his life, and now, being caught by the police, he ran without even daring to explain.
Yuta and Rikka on the roof were dumbfounded. They never expected their companions to appear here...
"Alright! Let's go, death!"
Yuta and Rikka looked down and saw Koushou and Totsuka standing neatly on the floor below, looking at them. Both of their faces were now filled with excitement. Yuta had brought Rikka-chan back, which didn't disappoint their expectations.
Behind them was Rikka's bicycle, named [Twin Azure Wheel], and even their escape route was prepared.
They had come in a Totsukami family car. Everyone was there, and there was even a man in black with sunglasses standing beside the car, exuding an imposing aura.
Koushou called out while pulling two items from her bag... a pristine white eye patch and a pair of velcro sneakers. These were specially prepared for Rikka.
Rikka was so moved she cried. Not just Yuta, but everyone, all the bonds she had left behind there, were hoping for her to return...
Yuta smiled. It seemed everyone loved Rikka very much.
"Let's go, Rikka."
Like last time, he jumped high and landed in the bushes to cushion the fall, then stood back on the ground. Then, Yuta waved for Rikka to jump down as well.
Unlike last time, this time Yuta caught Rikka steadily. It was an incredibly romantic princess carry, making Rikka feel immensely happy.
The person she loved most had finally come to take her away.
Rikka's grandfather, seeing the unfavorable situation, tried to rush up and pull the two down, but he was surrounded by Koushou and Ikenouchi Maki and four other girls, unable to move.
Rikka sat on the back seat, looked back at her grandfather who couldn't reach them, and even mischievously waved.
On the other side, the patrol officer, seeing this scene, hesitated whether to go back and stop the two or continue chasing the molester.
But after only a brief thought, the patrol officer quickly chose to continue chasing Isshiki Makoto. That couple looked especially happy, and he, a small single man, shouldn't interfere with the youthful love story of handsome boys and beautiful girls.
"Don't run!!"
Isshiki Makoto was on the verge of tears... Stop chasing me...
Seeing the unfavorable situation, the grandfather called the police.
The sky gradually brightened, and a hint of fish-belly white appeared on the horizon. Yuta pedaled hard with Rikka. Although he was a bit tired, his heart was already enveloped in love, so he couldn't feel it.
Rikka didn't wear the eye patch. Although Yuta came to pick her up and made her dream come true, she was still worried... worried if her grandparents, mother, or sister would be angry or worried. Perhaps her father would also prefer to see her in her present state.
A more normal state.
She hadn't yet escaped from the gaze of others; she still hoped to be that 'normal' child now.
With someone else, Yuta couldn't ask Fang Wuwei to pick him up, but... eloping under the night sky, it still sounded very romantic.
There were no vehicles on the main road in the early morning; the entire road had only a lonely small bicycle carrying two not-lonely little people.
Across a small barrier, the two saw the sea. At the end of the ocean was a line composed of countless lights, illuminating this world, so beautiful.
Was that the invisible boundary line Rikka had seen before? Yuta glanced at Rikka. He had originally thought Rikka would be happier, at least...
But no, Rikka only sighed. She really wanted to say it was the invisible boundary line, but she was a good child now, not Evil King's True Eye. She also understood that it was actually just the lights of a ship, just... lights.
Hearing Rikka's words, Yuta's mood instantly soured, and he slowly stopped the bicycle.
"Get off."
So, under Rikka's puzzled gaze, Yuta parked the bicycle by the roadside, took Rikka across the barrier separating the beach from the road, and walked towards the vast ocean.
Behind them, on the other side of the road, hidden by trees and bushes, a crimson eye was watching them from the darkness.
Just as Rikka was still wondering what Yuta was going to do, she saw Yuta lower his voice and speak in his chuunibyou-era voice.
"Let me show you the power of darkness."
Yuta walked slowly towards the sea, muttering incantations, under Rikka's puzzled yet slightly excited gaze...
"Explode, reality... Break, nerves..."
As Yuta chanted the incantation, Fang Wuwei, not far away, felt an immense magical power frantically brewing, emerging from Yuta's body. What he felt was boundless darkness, yet it was full of hope.
As Yuta brought his hands together and then slowly pulled them apart, a fantastical pitch-black substance formed between his fists. As it slowly expanded, the magical power that had been brewing around Yuta erupted, and a powerful magical storm swept through the area, slowly settling and accumulating.
"Banish this world!"
As Yuta raised his single hand, the accumulated magical power condensed with a roar, unleashing a terrifying magical power so intense that even Fang Wuwei felt a chill. Then, the magical power condensed into a single point, shot up into the sky, forming a pillar of light that instantly illuminated the entire sky.
Such an epic scene, but unfortunately, only Fang Wuwei could truly see and feel it... He was already sweating profusely. Good heavens, Yuta still had this trick up his sleeve. Was this a max-level veteran returning to the game?!
This amount of magical power was more than what the Special Point released every day!!!
