Chapter 21: Something Wrong With the Situation.

Kishimoto's house.

At this time, Kishimoto was sleeping on her bed. However, a frown can be seen on her face, and she was turning left and right. Tears started to come out of her eyes.

"Aahhh!"

Suddenly, she woke up from her dream. As soon as she wake up, she felt the warmth of her tears on her cheeks. Did I cry?

Kishimoto's emotion was in turmoil. Just now, she experienced a dream that is so vivid, that she thought it to be real. Those dream was like a past memory that she once experienced.

In that dream, she was transported into a room after her suicide attempt. After that she experienced going to a mission to hunt some kind of alien. After the hunt, she was teleported back into the room, and later she came back to her house.

However, she found out that there is another her living in the house, though that her was hospitalized after the suicide attempt. Knowing that there is another her, she felt lost and cried. That is when she woke up.

"What is that dream? How come it was so real?"

"Also, there is that guy who apologize to me this afternoon. Why did he appeared in that room too?"

"What is that place?"

Kishimoto have so many questions about the dream. The longer she thought about it, the more she felt the dream to be real memories. Her curiousity making her feel restless. "If I continue to sleep, will that dream come again?"

She feel that the dream will continue. After struggling for some times, she decided to go back to sleep. Her curiosity also forcing her to want to continue the dream. She then lay back to sleep.

Not far from her bed, two intangible silhouettes were watching her. These two are Rose and Light.

Why are they here? Well, it was because a certain host failed to meet their expectations.

Rose was angry that Kurono wanted to remove the mission that she gave him, regarding taking this Kishimoto into his harem circle.

In her anger, she invited Light to do something about this mission. Light who sulked after his mission was not fulfilled by Kurono, readily agreed to her request.

After that the two reformed the memory of the dead Kishimoto, and created a dream of memory. That dream of memory was in a form of intangible blue ball. Rose then took the ball and put inside the head of the sleeping Kishimoto. Then, the current situation happened.

{Did we do the right thing?}

{I hope what you said is true. It will be bad if this intervention caused something bad to the host. If that happens, we as his System Entities will be in trouble.}

After that, the two then left the sleeping Kishimoto.

At this time, Kurono is in the middle of making love with Sakuraoka on his bed. After the initial body contact, a kiss in the car, both felt the heat affecting their desire. As soon as they reached Kurono's house, they immediately get into the bed and started to undress each other.

As the two started making out with each other, their body got entangled and connected bare. Kurono succumbed to his feeling and let his desire control over his body.

So, he beep beep and beeped her...well, let's stop here. The next content is an 18-rated scene.

...

The next morning, Kishimoto woke up with a load of memories on her mind. She experienced falling in love with Kurono. She also memorized the way to his house. Other than that, she remembered eating the food that he cooked, waited for him to go back home, and also sleep with him.

Those dream memory caused her to blush in embarrassment. However, she also feel sad when she experienced the last dream memory.

In that scene, she was admiring Kurono, who was able to fight many oversized alien, and still able to win the fight. On the next scene, he warned her and two other girls to stay away from the dangerous fight.

That was when she got stubborn and followed him. As she watched him fight an alien who have many hands, that alien saw her. The alien then pretended to attack him, but it's real aim was her. The laser attack cut her neck and killed her.

The last thing she saw was Kurono running towards her, calling her name and with his tears running down on his cheeks. Those scene was so sad.

Suddenly, Kishimoto remembered the scene yesterday when Kurono approached her, bowed to her and apologized with tears on his cheeks. The scene was identical to the one in that dream.

"Did he meant to apologise to the other me that died there? But, how is there a second me?"

She then remembered a previous scene in the dream. A middle schooler named Nishi explained that they are like a fax that was taken by the Gantz from the dead body, and was sent into the Gantz Room. However, sometimes, the Gantz do a sloppy work, where the real body who the Gantz assumed to be dead, is still alive. That's how it created a loop where two same person are exist.

The thought of the dream memories made her even more curious to find out the truth. "The only way to prove that this memory is true is by going to Kurono's house."

After that, she decided to go to Kurono's house after school.

On Kurono's side, he woke up early in the morning and prepared to go to school. As he prepared to take a bath, a panel appeared in front of him.

Rewards: 1 Charm Points>

"Another Charm Points? Hei Rose, don't you have any System Points to give?"

<...>

"Rose? What's wrong?"

<... It's nothing. Like Light, I'm considered poor when it comes to System Points. So host, you need to complete more of my mission. Also, be proactive in meeting the condition to trigger the mission.>

"...Okay. I'll consider your advise." Kurono was not really keen on triggering her mission. Those mission will most likely wanted him to add more girls into his harem. That kind of mission is not really what he wanted.

No longer wanted to think about the harem missions, he used the Charm Points. Right after that, he felt his body undergoing some changes. He didn't feel any changes in his face. However, he keenly perceived that he become a little taller.

"Err...Rose, why do I feel that I become a little taller?"

"I...see."

Kurono then took a shower, and came down to prepare some breakfast. However, he saw Sakuraoka is already in the kitchen, busying herself to prepare the foods.

"Morning Kurono. Let's have a breakfast together...did you just become taller?" questioned Sakuraoka, a little surprised at his changes in height.

Kurono nodded, and said, "I must have hit my puberty, and grew taller overnight. ha ha."

While he was talking, he sat opposite to Sakuraoka, and about to say a prayer for the breakfast. Then, he realized that she is wearing some official dress. So, he asked, "Are you going somewhere?"

"I'm going to work. It's already been two days since I didn't come to work. I will be fired if I continue not coming to work." answered Sakuraoka.

The two then ate their breakfast. After finishing his breakfast, Kurono then headed out to school. "I will be off then. See you in the afternoon."

"Wait. I'll drive you to the school."

"Are you sure? You might be late to work."

"It's okay. I still have some time."

"Well, okay then."

Sakuraoka then drove Kurono to his school. After that, she headed to her workplace.

At school, Kurono's friend saw him arriving earlier then them. So they asked, "Hei Kurono, I didn't see you on the subway. Did you come here by taxi?"

"Ah, no. A... neighbor, new neighbor happen to work not far away from here. So, he volunteered to drive me here."

"A neighbor? Is it a woman? I bet it's a woman." commented Nakazawa, one of Kurono's friends.

"I don't think it's a woman, right Kurono?" asked Matsumura, confirming his guess.

"Well, she is..."

"Dang it! It's really is a woman." before Kurono could finish his words, both of his friends become dejected. They didn't think that Kurono got really lucky.

"Come on, tell us. Is your new 'neighbor' have a body like Miki Fujimoto?"

"...Dunno." Kurono was not going to tell them about Sakuraoka. Though, she do have a great body shape, thought Kurono.

"Sigh. Man, you are very lucky. I'm jealous of you."

"Speaking of new, we have a new transfer student in our class." said Matsumura.

So, it's time to meet Izumi, thought Kurono. That guy specifically transferred to this school just to investigate Kurono. Moreover, he did it because Gantz encouraged him.

"I think it's a girl."

"It's good if it's a girl. Where do you think she will sit?"

They then looked around for an empty seat. Then, there happened to be one beside Kurono. Matsumura and Nakazawa frowned when they saw the empty seat.

"It's probably a boy transfer student."

"Yeah. I think it should be a boy."

You two certainly are correct about that, nodded Kurono, agreeing silently.

Not long later, the teacher came into the class. She then announced, "Attention everyone. Today, we have a transfer student in our class."

After that, she gestured for the new student to come inside. A girl came in and stood beside the teacher.

'Huh!? A girl? Was it not Shion Izumi? Why is she the one who entered our class?' Kurono showed a confused look. There is something wrong with the situation this time.

"Please introduce yourself." said the teacher.

"My name is Ryouko Shinozaki. Nice to meet you all." The girl briefly introduced herself.

"Okay. You can go and sit at the empty chair, beside Kurono."

Shinozaki nodded. She then brought her bag, and sat beside Kurono. Matsumura and Nakazawa screamed 'nooo' when they saw this. What they don't want to happen, really happened. That bastard really is lucky with women.

As for Kurono, he was thinking about Shion Izumi. What happened to that guy? Did he get swapped place with this Ryouko girl?

"Hello. we are a deskmate, now. I hope to be on good terms with you." Shinozaki took the lead to speak to Kurono. Her eyes turned bright when she looked at him.

"Hi. Nice to meet you, I guess." Kurono nodded and greeted her.

Ding!

Rewards: ???>

'Hey! Rose, what are you doing? Don't just go and adding anyone as my mission.'

"...I will just ignore you then." said Kurono. This caused Rose to once more giving him an earful enough complain.

"Kurono, can you take Shinozaki for a tour of the school?" asked the teacher.

"...sure." Kurono just agreed. He and Shinozaki then walked out of the class. Seeing them walk out together, Kurono's friends gritted their teeth in jealousy.

...

When it was break time, Kurono as usual, hang out with his friends.

"So, my friend. What did you talk with that Shinozaki?" Asked Nakazawa.

"Yeah. Tell us about it. Don't try to skip any details." said the four-eyed friend.

"We didn't talk much. I took her to visit all the important places." Kurono answered briefly, brushing all those little chats with Shinozaki.

"...I think, you are not telling the whole story."

"He is hiding it. I'm sure, they have a very nice chat." said Matsumura, suspiciously.

Kurono smirked at the two, and said, "Heh. Even if I did, I won't tell you guys."

While they were chatting, Kurono saw a tall guy heading towards their direction.

It's Shion Izumi!

As Kurono expected, he got swapped class with Ryouko Shinozaki. Though, this guy is still here to investigate Kurono.
