Hayasaka, you will be the battle helper in the team from now on

　　After the matter was agreed upon, the three left the mansion and took the train to Kyoto.

　　Needless to say, the fare must have been paid for by Hayasaka.

　　She gets a salary and bonus as a maid in the Shinomiya family.

　　If you do the math, the money raised so far is estimated at more than 40 million yen.

　　She is a little rich lady.

　　Although this little money is not worth mentioning in the Hayasaka family, it has a different meaning.

　　Hayasaka ordered two tickets, and a party of three boarded the train.

　　Yes, two tickets, three people aboard.

　　Ryota remembered that in the world before he traveled, in some foreign countries including Japan, it was basically not necessary to buy a ticket with a real name, and even some places did not require security checks, but the regulations in Tokyo in this world were very strict. Misaki didn't have an ID here, so there was no way to buy a ticket.

　　So Ryota can only let her use her super power.

　　Such shameless behavior made Misaki, who was an Ojou-sama blush.

　　It looks so cute, makes people want to hold it and rub it well.

　　(A distance of more than 300 kilometers, plus time for business, is expected to take more than six hours to go back and forth.)

　　Ryota estimated in his mind the approximate time needed for this operation.

　　It was 2 p.m., and he had to pick Kei home at night.

　　He only hoped that there would be enough time.

　　After all, if Ryota didn't come, the little girl would definitely fight with him.

　　Most likely not as easy to persuade as before.

　　On the way.

　　Hayasaka kicked the shoe at his feet.

　　After successfully attracting the other party's attention, she asked with great hesitation:

　　"Are you really going to do this?"

　　"Which do you mean?" Ryota asked back.

　　"It's about dealing with Shinomiya Oko." Hayasaka stared into Ryota's eyes "Why are you doing this for me?"

　　"Aren't we friends? Help if I can."

　　"...Friends who have only been friends for less than two days! And..."

　　Hayasaka glanced at Misaki who was sitting next to Ryota, then averted her eyes, and continued:

　　"Misaki-san's help must be invaluable, right? You used it casually on me… What reason did you have for doing this?"

　　Don't you like me? – Hayasaka wants to ask that.

　　But such words were too embarrassing, and she was a little speechless.

　　And... She always felt that Ryota seemed to have no meaning of romance towards her.

　　She says they were friends at first, and then Ryota really seemed to only think of her as a friend.

　　She saw no sign of Ryota intending to go any further.

Of course, it could have been two days.

　　The liking between the two parties may be due to not being fully fermented.

　　"The reason… Hayasaka, why are you wasting your precious points just to watch the fireworks display for Kaguya?"

　　Ryota didn't answer the question, but asked again.

　　"Because... maybe because of guilt."

　　Hayasaka rarely wears a mask, and tells the truth:

　　"I did something really sorry for her, so I want to make up for it, and I don't want her to look forward to summer vacation, so it's a waste."

　　"Then let me tell you my reason," Ryota said casually, "I probably felt that I couldn't let go and wanted to help, so I did."

　　"...Just because of this?"

　　Hayasaka was taken aback, feeling really unsure.

　　"Don't show such an expression, your excuse just now didn't convince me!"

　　Ryota shrugged and said:

　　"Just do what you want, for whatever reason. It's just something to convince others. I'm just acting according to my own ideas. Do we still have to talk about this topic? I guess there's nothing to say. I've boarded the Shinkansen, can't I get off now?"

　　"..."

　　Hayasaka suddenly took a deep breath: "You're right, just do what you want, I probably feel the same way in my heart... Anyway, thank you, Shiro-chan."

　　"You're welcome."

　　Ryota suddenly smiled, and said mysteriously: "Actually, this can be considered as an investment in the future."

　　"Future investment?"

　　"Yes. Have you read the experience posts on the forum? It is said that after going through five adventures, you can build a team. I have this plan."

　　Ryota started to introduce his blueprints: "Didn't you decide to activate the psionic system, Hayasaka? I've invested in you before. Don't forget to join my team when the time comes."

　　"And me, don't forget."

　　Misaki interjected suddenly.

　　"Of course, you are already on the list, and so is Inaho."

　　Ryota showed an expression of fantasy and longing:

　　"Our abilities are different. Inaho's layout, your psychological manipulation, my close combat, Hayasaka's psionic powers, the division of labor is clear. If we work together and form a team, we can definitely get more points in this adventure."

　　"Wait a minute," Misaki said strangely: "Close combat? Isn't your talent in firearms?"

　　"Long story ..."

　　"Keep the story short."

　　"..."

　　Ryota looked at Misaki with gloomy eyes, but he still said:

　　"Because I'm being haunted by a ghost, I bought a ghost-killing weapon. This weapon is only equipped with power. I looked at it, and it seems biased for close combat. I plan to give it a try, so weapons can be used properly!"

　　Before he finished speaking, Ryota suddenly turned to Hayasaka and asked:

　　"Hayasaka, do you know the upper limit of the psionic system?"

　　"Upper limit ..."

　　Hayasaka wore a pensive expression on her face, and carefully memorized the information she saw on Shinomiya Oko's computer.

　　After about five or six seconds, she said: "I remember that the highest stage seems to be the third stage, but very few people have reached this stage, probably no more than 50 people in the whole world."

　　"You misunderstood me, I mean combat power, to what extent?"

　　"I do not know about that."

　　Hayasaka shook her head apologetically.

　　Suddenly, she thought of a way of comparison, and immediately added:

　　"In this world, no one can deal with [Rule] level ghosts. There are also many [Meme] levels. Humans don't have the ability to completely eliminate it. They can only block their activities according to their killing rules."

　　"Is the upper bound for [Meme] level… Tsk, a bit low."

　　Although he had never seen the main part of the [Meme] level, Ryota knew how to eliminate Grudge, and was rated by the guild as C level difficulty.

　　Judging from this, the psionic system seems rather ordinary.

　　Of course, Hayasaka might also only know so much information.

　　For example, the fourth stage exists, but she doesn't know about it.

　　At this moment, the balance in Ryota's heart slowly tilted towards the Ming Hong Sword.

　　Even though the method of opening the Military Commander system is very dangerous.

　　But the ceiling is high!

　　When he grows up, he can kill all the troublesome ghosts!

　　Then clear the [Red Advent] phenomenon.

　　As long as there were no ghosts in this world, he no longer needed to be afraid of ghosts.

　　(Now that this issue is resolved, let's go home and try it.)

　　Ryota made a decision in his heart.

　　At this moment, he suddenly noticed two strange eyes fixed on him.

　　Looking up, Ryota found that Hayasaka and Misaki were staring at him.

　　No, to be precise, it was looking at the position of his stomach.

　　The eyes of the two girls were slightly frightened.

　　Ryota was confused, so he looked down.

　　The little girl was sitting on his lap, with her back against his stomach.
