Hearing this, both became interested.
Superman—who didn't know about that?
"Of course, becoming Superman all at once isn't realistic."
Haru looked at the three. "My goal is to absorb light energy, convert it into energy I need, and strengthen my physical body."
"Do any of you have suggestions?"
Hearing Haru's question, Takanashi Rikka and Tsuyuri Kumin immediately began thinking seriously.
Nibutani Shinka, who hadn't spoken much, couldn't help but start fantasizing too.
"Wouldn't sunbathing work?"
Tsuyuri Kumin couldn't help but speak up. Since Superman could absorb light energy by sunbathing, Haru could do the same.
"It's not that simple."
Haru chuckled. Tsuyuri Kumin's answer didn't form a suggestion task, which meant this path wouldn't work.
"Superman can absorb light energy by sunbathing because he's Superman to begin with."
Haru explained. "But what I want to research is how to let an ordinary person learn this skill."
"Then... become Superman?" Takanashi Rikka also tried to give her suggestion.
This was even more unreliable.
Haru was helpless. Although the system's suggestions often didn't make much sense, it couldn't easily give him tasks to complete.
As the system upgraded, the difficulty of suggestion tasks would correspondingly increase.
"Nibutani-san."
Haru looked at Nibutani Shinka.
He felt it was better to rely on Nibutani Shinka—this person often came up with good ideas.
"Nibutani-san, you are mori-summer's reincarnation. Do you have any good suggestions?"
"I, I am not mori-summer's reincarnation!" Nibutani Shinka immediately denied it, then looked at Haru with subtle eyes, full of resentment.
Thinking about it now, she was in this situation because of this guy.
If not for Haru, she would have been living well as a normal person.
Why would she need to be dragged into participating in this chuunibyou club?
Now he even wanted her to give suggestions.
She wouldn't give any.
Knowing that Tsuyuri Kumin had a backup of the Dark Scripture, Nibutani Shinka now showed signs of self-abandonment.
Full of resentment toward Haru and somewhat angry, she didn't want to deal with him.
Moreover, Haru could no longer "threaten" her with the Dark Scripture—she seemed to no longer need to participate in Haru's games.
Haru was amused.
How could he not see that Nibutani Shinka seemed to think Tsuyuri Kumin also had the Dark Scripture, so she wasn't as concerned about him anymore?
"I remember there's a piece of information in the Dark Scripture saying that mori-summer attended Sakurasai Private Academy Middle School Division, and last year she was in Class 3-A."
Haru coughed and revealed information he had seen in the Dark Scripture. "Nibutani-san, I think we need to visit this school and ask around. That way we can prove that mori-summer really is your past life."
"Ha... haha, Ha... Haru-san, what are you talking about?"
Nibutani Shinka's face turned green.
She never expected Haru to even know her middle school.
This was really killing her and destroying her heart.
At this moment, Nibutani Shinka simply wanted to commit murder.
If life could be restarted, she would absolutely never write any Dark Scripture again.
The Dark Scripture was actually her chuunibyou diary. She had forgotten what information was recorded in it—how could she have expected Haru to read it so seriously?
This was terrible.
At this moment, Nibutani Shinka had only one thought—she absolutely had to stop Haru.
Otherwise, as soon as Haru went to that school and asked around a little, her identity would be completely impossible to hide.
After all, as such a chuunibyou patient, she was also a famous person at school.
Quite a few underclassmen knew about her.
"Sakurasai Private Academy Middle School Division?"
Hearing this name, Tsuyuri Kumin's eyes lit up. "A comrade I met in the electronic sea, Fallen Angel Sacred Black Cat, attends that school! Great, now we can directly expose this fake mori-summer!"
Nibutani Shinka almost screamed out loud!
Fallen Angel Sacred Black Cat.
Of course she knew her—Ruri Gokou, an underclassman who was also one of her few friends when she was in middle school.
If Tsuyuri Kumin asked around even a little, her identity would probably be exposed instantly.
Thinking of such a dangerous scenario, Nibutani Shinka completely panicked.
Sweat kept dripping from her forehead.
"Um, that, I think there's no need to make such a big fuss, Haru-san."
Nibutani Shinka said with a stiff smile.
"No, I think it's very necessary to let Nibutani-san know her true identity." Haru said seriously. "Only by making Nibutani-san understand her past life can she research magic with me."
"This is a matter that could change the human world. No amount of fuss would be excessive."
Nibutani Shinka was exhausted.
Why did this guy Haru always think about researching magic and such?
He clearly didn't seem stupid, and sometimes was actually quite handsome.
But his tendency to have chuunibyou episodes made people want to hit him.
At this moment, Nibutani Shinka frantically racked her brains.
Thinking about how to stop Haru from going to Sakurasai Private Academy to investigate her identity.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Nibutani Shinka's mind.
She realized that Haru's main purpose for insisting on finding out her identity was definitely to research magic.
So as long as she cooperated with him in this regard, it would be fine.
"Speaking of which..."
Nibutani Shinka forcibly changed the subject. "Regarding the magic Haru-san mentioned, I have some ideas."
"Oh?"
A barely perceptible smile flashed in Haru's eyes, then he looked at Nibutani Shinka with feigned excitement, as if his previous intention to investigate Nibutani Shinka's identity had been diverted.
Seeing Haru's expression, Nibutani Shinka breathed a sigh of relief.
This method was indeed effective.
This made Nibutani Shinka even more certain of her judgment.
As long as she could give suggestions, Haru wouldn't persist unreasonably about investigating her identity.
She hurriedly began thinking about how to quickly fool Haru.
She couldn't give a completely illogical suggestion like Takanashi Rikka and Tsuyuri Kumin that Haru would immediately dismiss.
She had to make Haru feel this approach was useful.
Then make Haru spend great effort doing it, which would divert most of Haru's attention and prevent him from having time to investigate her identity.
"As everyone knows, life forms capable of absorbing light energy are actually everywhere on our Earth."
Nibutani Shinka frantically thought, trying to divert Haru's attention. "That would be plant photosynthesis."
A trace of amusement flashed in Haru's eyes.
That Nibutani Shinka was starting to think seriously was a good beginning.
Although it hadn't formed a suggestion yet, Haru could gradually guide her.
Slowly guide out a suggestion task.
The fear was that this person would give up completely.
Then no matter how Haru guided, it couldn't become a suggestion task.
Now that Nibutani Shinka was starting to work hard and seemed to understand Haru's purpose, this was also good news for Haru.
"But photosynthesis requires chloroplasts in plant cells."
Haru chuckled. "My cells don't have chloroplasts."
Haru had naturally thought about chloroplast photosynthesis long ago.
However, Haru didn't dare do such things now.
Changing cellular structure was no joke.
"Of course, since we're researching magic, how could it be exactly the same as scientific principles?"
Nibutani Shinka laughed dryly, then quickly thought and gave a logical answer.
After all, she was a genius at creating settings—finding a logical answer was easy for her.
"The answer still lies with spirits!"
Instantly, Nibutani Shinka thought of an idea.
A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She already knew how to deal with Haru.
Because the suggestion she was about to give was one that couldn't be "falsified"!
"Ahem, when Haru-san showed me the Dark Scripture last time, I remember it mentioned that spirits exist in every corner of this world."
Nibutani Shinka emphasized that she saw these settings from the Dark Scripture.
"That's right." Haru smiled slightly. "That's content recorded in page two, third paragraph."
"Huh?"
Nibutani Shinka was stunned.
Something suddenly felt wrong.
Why did this guy even remember which page and paragraph it was?
Earlier she had heard something off—Haru had said the content revealing her school was on a specific page.
But at the time she was too panicked, wanting to escape suspicion about her identity information, so she hadn't paid attention to this point.
Only now did she understand what was wrong.
Even she herself didn't remember which page and line her own writings appeared on.
Why did Haru remember so clearly!
At this time, Takanashi Rikka nearby happened to open the Dark Scripture.
She looked at it together with Tsuyuri Kumin.
The next moment, both their eyes showed admiring looks.
"Incredible! Haru, you remember so clearly!"
"Truly worthy of Haru!"
Both Takanashi Rikka and Tsuyuri Kumin looked at Haru with admiration, not expecting what Haru said to be true.
What Nibutani Shinka had just said really appeared in page two, third paragraph.
Nibutani Shinka was dumbfounded.
She looked at Haru with somewhat stiff expression.
She saw Haru show a proud smile:
"I have perfect memory. I've already memorized the contents of this book backwards and forwards."
"Backwards and forwards? That's impossible! You can't be more familiar with the Dark Scripture than me!"
Tsuyuri Kumin's expression froze for a moment, then she suddenly got excited.
She picked up the Dark Scripture and began questioning Haru.
Specifically choosing complex passages and asking Haru which page and line they came from.
Haru was happy to answer.
He did this on purpose, to let Nibutani Shinka know that not only did Tsuyuri Kumin have a backup of the Dark Scripture—Haru's brain had directly memorized this book.
Tsuyuri Kumin's backup could still possibly be destroyed by Nibutani Shinka.
But Haru's backup could never be destroyed by Nibutani Shinka in her lifetime.
If she didn't want her identity exposed, she'd better obediently stay by Haru's side as his resource.
So these three witnessed what was called legendary perfect memorization.
Haru had really memorized the entire thick book.
Now Tsuyuri Kumin looked at Haru with eyes full of worship and loss.
Worship, naturally because of Haru's terrifying memory.
Simply inhuman.
And loss, because seeing that Haru had really memorized such a thick scripture, didn't this mean Haru's faith in mori-summer was deeper than her own?
She was no longer mori-summer's most faithful believer.
Nibutani Shinka was also completely dumbfounded.
Looking at Haru, she simply didn't know what to say.
She never expected someone could memorize all her dark history.
Now wouldn't she never be able to erase her dark history for the rest of her life?
Thinking of this, Nibutani Shinka felt completely off.
However, besides being exhausted, Nibutani Shinka unconsciously developed strange feelings.
Although it was her dark history, it was still such a thick book, thicker than the Oxford Dictionary.
So much content, and Haru had memorized it all.
This showed Haru truly worshipped mori-summer.
And Nibutani Shinka knew perfectly well that person was herself.
Thinking that Haru was so devoted to her, her face couldn't help but blush.
Her beautiful eyes flashed with shyness.
A fantasy couldn't help but surface in her mind.
If someday she admitted she was mori-summer, how would Haru treat her?
Would he directly—
Thinking of that scene, Nibutani Shinka's face couldn't help but heat up.
But at this time, Nibutani Shinka suddenly felt a subtle gaze from the side.
She saw Takanashi Rikka staring at her expressionlessly.
Immediately, Nibutani Shinka panicked.
Only then did she realize how dangerous her thoughts just now were.
And how shameful they were.
"Ahhhh, mori-summer, what are you thinking? Actually wanting to expose your own identity—are you stupid!"
Nibutani Shinka's face was burning hot.
Thinking of the content of her wild imagination, she felt so ashamed she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
And the way Takanashi Rikka had been staring at her just now—had she discovered her identity?
Nibutani Shinka panicked again.
"Nibutani-san, please continue."
At this time, Haru looked at Nibutani Shinka with expectation. "What's the relationship between absorbing light energy and spirits?"
