Attacking Shirogane Kei's Weakness

　　Facing Utaha's thanks, Ryota nodded and said: "It's a bit of effort, you're welcome."

　　"When I was in the car earlier..."

　　As if finding an opportunity, Utaha apologized and said: "Sorry, I wasn't in the mood then, so..."

　　"I already said that I don't mind," Ryota waved his hand, "I can understand, my mood was also messed up by ghosts."

　　"You... actually met?"

　　Utaha asked curiously.

　　"That's right." Ryota glanced at her, and his tone became serious, "Don't be so curious. Once you encounter such a thing, ordinary people will only run into a dead end, so don't explore it."

　　"Why do not you ..."

　　"My situation is very special, and I have to look at it separately from ordinary people." Ryota warned again "Anyway, listen to me, don't be curious."

　　To be honest, until now he is a little surprised why the authorities immediately disclosed supernatural information to the common people.

　　It makes sense that if they want to bring everyone together, and can concoct any excuse.

　　Even though the process was a bit troublesome, there would be less fuss afterwards.

　　Actually there is no need to reveal the secret that has been hidden for so long.

　　(Could it be that like the setting in the novel afterwards, there will be blurred memories?)

　　Ryota guessed in his heart.

　　The other side.

　　Utaha carefully studied Ryota's expression.

　　She discovered that him serious demeanor didn't seem like he was pretending, it was obvious he wasn't just finding excuses just to persuade her.

　　She started to take it seriously in her heart, and didn't continue to explore this matter.

　　"Since this comes from the opinion of an experienced person, I'll hold back my unnecessary curiosity." Utaha smiled.

　　Perhaps to pass the boring time, she changed the subject and continued talking to Ryota: "Are you really a student of Toyogasaki Academy?"

　　"Yes, second year."

　　"So you still have to call me Senpai?"

　　Utaha seemed to have regained some of the initiative, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

　　To be honest, Ryota's aloofness made her feel a little unnatural.

　　At Toyogasaki Academy, she is one of the two beautiful girls in the school, and she is the first gifted girl in her class. Basically, she was admired by all the students. Some guys will blush when they talk to her.

　　Switching to Ryota's place is very boring, she is passive in every way, thinks her charm is gone.

　　"Let's get to know each other," said Utaha, "Third year, Kasumigaoka Utaha, how about you?"

　　"Just call me Shiro." Ryota answered subconsciously.

　　"...Shiro?" Utah was shocked.

　　What name is this?

　　Or did he not want to tell his real name?

　　Is it so perfunctory?

　　"Cough... Asakawa Ryota! Just call me Ryota."

　　Ryota quickly changed his words.

　　Hell, it's almost become a habit to always introduce the guild code name when adventuring.

　　"Ryota..."

　　Utaha muttered the name.

　　She looked intent on continuing the exchange for a few more words.

　　But at this moment, the cell phone rang and vibrated.

　　Ryota was shocked, and took out his cellphone with a broken screen from his pocket, and found that it was Kei's call.

　　He immediately turned around, covered his mouth slightly, and replied:

　　"Kei? What is it?"

　　"Nii-san! Do you know what time it is!"

　　"8:20 p.m., what's wrong?"

　　"I know you haven't come back yet! Father and Nii-san are at home, dinner is ready, and we are all waiting for you alone."

　　Ryota was about to answer when Miyuki's voice suddenly sounded from the other side.

　　"Kei, are you calling Nii-san? If so, please tell me that I already bought the materials for the last few days when I get back, and tell Nii-san not to buy them."

　　"Know."

　　Kei's voice sounded again: "Nii-san, did you hear it?"

　　"Sorry, I'm sorry." Ryota quickly apologized, "You told Miyuki that I was delayed by something, so I didn't buy the vegetables in time. Also, you can have dinner first, don't wait for me, I'll you can come back later, or I might not come back."

　　"You want to go out at night?"

　　"...Kei, I'm an adult now, is it okay to spend the night outside?"

　　"Aren't you only 17 years old?"

　　"You fool ... Cough! In short! I really have something to deal with. It's a matter of a mysterious organization. It's inconvenient to reveal it to you, so you can have dinner first. You really don't have to wait for me, I'll be back after I'm done."

　　"What about that mysterious organization?"

　　Kei was silent for a few seconds.

　　Then a slightly worried voice came from the phone: "Nii-san, you're not in any danger, are you?"

　　"No, Nii-san is a once in a hundred years genius. It's so easy to deal with the little things."

　　"Is there really no problem? Is there anything I can help? Father warned you before, don't always face danger alone…"

　　"Oh! Kei is so cute, a little sister who really cares about her older brother, you are so cute! Ah... It's like a hug. I'll hug you when I get back, okay? Is it okay?"

　　"..."

　　After a period of silence.

　　Kei's roar came from the phone: "Go to hell! Nasty!"

　　Ryota held the phone a little further from his ear.

　　He was relieved after the girl's screams ended and the phone was hung up.

　　"I can't tell you about these things, Kei."

　　Ryota took a deep breath.

　　"Is your little sister?" Utaha suddenly asked.

"Did you hear that?" Ryota nodded, with a smile on his face: "She is a very worrying little girl, but I have a special trick to deal with her."

　　"Looks like a little sister with a proud personality." Utaha suddenly thought of Eriri, "This is very similar to someone I know."

　　"Whether it's the tsundere stage or the rebellious stage, I still don't understand."

　　Ryota shook his head.

　　At the same time.

　　In the office where Ryota overheard the previous conversation.

　　The man who was called the minister by his subordinates had a pale face, and put down the phone in his hand reluctantly and angrily.

　　"Dirt!"

　　He cursed angrily.

　　"What is it? Minister." The subordinate asked, "Has anyone from Shinto come?"

　　"No, the Kendo Alliance is also understaffed. Tonight, the people of the two major alliances in Tokyo have been transferred to participate in Clone Grudge's encirclement and suppression operations, and some people have even been transferred from the Kyoto side. Now it's our territory's turn, it depends on the progress of resolving the incident."

　　The minister slammed his fist on the table and made a bang:

　　"Damn! I have 21 comrades on my side!"

　　"Minister, there are exactly 28 people, and 7 more people have just been picked up."

　　"... There will be no more?"

　　"According to the data, all the associates in our area are here."

　　"28... This really isn't the right time to come! I hope our people can survive."

　　"If there are only two Grudge Avatars and they don't have that many souls, they should be able to survive. If..."

　　The room fell silent.
