March 7th tilted her head.
March 7th:"A planet is just the land where ordinary people live, right? Lemuel, don't tell me you don't even know this?"
Lemuel blinked in confusion.
Lemuel:"Oh… I really don't. I only know that the land beneath my feet is called Terra."
Nanashi:"Lemuel's world is a bit special."
March 7th nodded in understanding.
March 7th:"Oh, I see."
Suzuki:"To put it simply—it means he could destroy the world!"
Shinobu's eyes widened.
Shinobu:"!!!! He's that powerful?!"
Nanashi:"It's not that exaggerated… just in theory."
Suzuki:"I don't care! Boss, please take care of me!"
Nanashi:"Haha, you may not even need my help. Who knows? You might become ridiculously strong yourself soon."
Suzuki blinked.
Suzuki:"Huh?"
March 7th:"It appeared! A hint from Nanashi!"
Suzuki:"What do you mean?"
But before anyone could press for answers, Nanashi had already vanished.
Because—
Eriri had arrived.
—
"Nanashi, I'm here!"
Eriri swung the door open, her voice loud and confident—
Then she froze.
"Huh???"
Her gaze darted between two figures in the room.
Two beautiful girls.
One of them was Yukino, the school's most popular girl.
Had she gone to the wrong place?
But no—this was definitely Nanashi's place.
And there he was, sitting comfortably.
Nanashi glanced at her, a knowing smile in his eyes.
Nanashi:"You're here."
Eriri huffed, folding her arms.
Eriri:"Hmph! Didn't you invite me? It's not like I came here of my own free will!"
Her tsundere nature was in full force.
Without waiting for an invitation, she strolled in and sat in the chair beside Nanashi.
She kept stealing glances at Yukino and Yui.
Nanashi noticed and decided to make introductions.
Nanashi:"Let me introduce you. This is Eriri Spencer Sawamura—a new member of our club, though… only in name."
Yukino, as composed as ever, spoke first.
Yukino:"Yukino Yukinoshita."
Yui, on the other hand, was all smiles.
Yui:"I'm Yui! Nice to meet you!"
Eriri awkwardly forced a smile.
Eriri:"Yeah… hello…"
There was something about this whole situation that felt off.
Her gaze flickered around the room.
Eriri:"Didn't you say there was another member? Where is he?"
Nanashi sighed and gestured toward the right.
Nanashi:"This is Megumi—our other member."
Megumi, calm as ever, greeted her.
Megumi:"Hello."
Before Eriri could react, Yui suddenly gasped.
Yui:"Wait, when did she get here?!"
Eriri flinched at Yui's outburst.
…Had Megumi really been there the entire time?
Yukino frowned slightly.
In truth, she had only just now noticed Megumi's presence.
There was something uncanny about her—
As if she naturally blended into the background.
Nanashi chuckled, almost proud as he explained.
Nanashi:"This is Megumi's special ability—she has a unique presence that makes people subconsciously overlook her."
Megumi remained expressionless.
Megumi:"It's just a weak presence."
Eriri stared at her.
'…Isn't that basically a superpower?'
She swallowed her thoughts and took a closer look.
Megumi was… beautiful.
And now that she thought about it—
Nanashi was the only boy in the club.
Every other member was a beautiful girl.
This was wrong.
This was very wrong!
Eriri narrowed her eyes.
She needed to start coming to club meetings more often.
It might cut into her art club time—
But it was a sacrifice she was willing to make!
—
With Eriri joining, the Paranormal Research Club officially became a recognized club.
But then—
Something strange happened.
The very next day, Eriri took three days off.
When Nanashi called to check on her, she simply said:
"I'm sick."
Three days later, she was still not better.
Something didn't feel right.
That's why today—
Nanashi bought some gifts and decided to visit her house.
—
The moment Nanashi arrived outside Eriri's house—
He knew something was wrong.
Dark energy lingered around the entire building, swirling like a mist.
His eyes narrowed.
His instincts screamed at him.
He stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
—
"Ding-dong!"
Silence.
No one answered.
Something had definitely happened.
With a flick of his finger—
BANG!
The door blew open.
Inside, thick black mist twisted unnaturally, filling the entire space.
A demonic presence.
Nanashi tensed.
This wasn't just an evil spirit.
This was something worse.
Most demons he had encountered were rare—
But now, both evil spirits and demonic energy were merging here.
—
Evil spirits were remnants of human souls—obsessions that refused to fade.
Demons, however, were monsters born from negative emotions.
They lurked in blind spots, unseen and untouchable by ordinary people.
But when these two combined—
It created something far more terrifying.
—
For a brief moment, Nanashi analyzed the aura.
The black mist wasn't just some faint energy—
It was visible even to normal eyes.
Which meant—
Something incredibly powerful was at work here.
Then—
A sudden scream pierced through the house.
—
"DAD!"
—
Nanashi's eyes snapped toward the source.
Without hesitation—
He teleported.
—
The door shattered as Nanashi appeared inside the room.
What he saw—
Was a madman.
A crazed man, wielding a knife.
His target?
A terrified Eriri—
And a woman with similar features but different hair.
Sayuri Sawamura.
Eriri's mother.
