Bab 208: 208. A Sealed Crack
Izumi and Iori froze for a moment. Then, Izumi scolded Rori inwardly.
"Oi, what the fuck are you saying? Didn't you say earlier you could give my mom a reason why you came to my house? Do you actually want to destroy other people's households?"
Rori could see from Izumi's glance how angry he was. But then, Izumi heard his mother's chuckle.
"Hohohoho. You're an interesting girl, aren't you?"
Rori hid her hand behind her back, then took out the envelope she had kept in the storage space, after which she handed it over to Iori.
"This is a letter from my late mom."
Iori received the envelope. She tore it open, then took it and read the letter that was inside. Blood vessels popped up on the surface of the skin of Iori's hands and forehead. It was obvious that she was trying to contain her anger.
"Since I'm on vacation, I want to meet dad. Is he not at home?" Rori added the finishing blow.
In a split second, Iori took out her phone and dialed someone. Well, there was no need to guess who she was calling through her phone.
"Hello, darling. Yup, it's me." Her voice was still calm. But then, it suddenly turned into a hoarse and deep voice. "I need an explanation!
EXPLAIN ABOUT WHAT? JUST ASK YOUR D*CK! YOU AS*HOLE! I know you are bad at everything. But I didn't expect you to sow seeds so casually! Come back home, right away! Haa, you said there's still another overseas trip for your job tomorrow? Do you still want to spray your seeds on each of your trips? TO HELL WITH THAT, YOU BETTER NEVER GO BACK HOME!"
Iori's conversation stopped as she threw her phone to the floor until it shattered.
Without turning toward Izumi, Iori said,
"Izumi, forget about your father! Let's just pretend he's dead!"
"Oi, don't sentence him to death!" Izumi replied comically.
Iori didn't respond to Izumi's words. All of sudden, she turned around and hugged Rori and Izumi tightly.
"Don't worry! Even though he is gone, mother will take good care of you both. Izumi, don't try to be like your father, okay!"
With his mother saying that Izumi couldn't help but swallow his annoyance and try not to show it to her.
All he could do was glare at Rori which turned the nice atmosphere to grim. He really wanted to spank Rori's ass because of her mischievousness. It might be better if he could find a reason to let his mother forgive his father later.

Midnight.
Izumi deliberately stayed awake. After Izumi sensed his mother and Mafuyu slept soundlessly, he stood up from his chair and then sneaked into Rori's room.
Looking at how Rori was sleeping, Izumi clicked his tongue. He still hadn't forgotten the incident that happened earlier. Even though he could say that Rori was not his father's biological daughter, Izumi would be affected if he said so.
Izumi grabbed her hand and pulled it up.
"Get up!"
Rori opened her eyes slowly and used her other hand to rub her eyes.
"Oh, Izumi? Hehe. You sneaked into my room in the middle of the night. Do you want to feel something good from me?"
*Spank*
Izumi mercilessly slapped her butt when she still wasn't fully awake.
"Tell me! What is feeling something good you are referring to? I will accept it as an apology." Izumi said with a straight expression. Rori rubbed her butt with a pout.
"Don't tell me, you're gonna prey on my body? You pervy!"
"Cut the crap, lewd loli! If you don't plan to give me "something good", then let's get into the real business!"
"Alright, alright! You're such a troublesome little kid."
Izumi appeared on the roof of his house along with Rori. Afterward, he activated the ring on his finger. It lightly shone and formed a metal armor that covered his limbs with a pair of wings on his back. He grabbed Rori before soaring up into the sky.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the location. They landed right behind the two-story school building.
At that moment, Izumi glared at Rori while asking.
"Hey, why did you give my mother an excuse that you are my father's illegitimate daughter? Isn't there a better reason?"
"Hmmm. I didn't think that far. Somehow, that idea popped into my head. So, I'd just give it a shot."
Izumi put his palm on his head while shaking.
"F*ck. I should have stopped you if I knew your idea was that crazy."
"Well, the rice has turned to mush. Don't mind!"
"Don't mind, your head!"
Rori chuckled while ignoring how angry Izumi was.
"Come on! Let's calm down for a bit! Anyway, I already felt that the atmosphere wasn't right."
Hearing what Rori said, Izumi furrowed his brow. He sensed his surroundings. And then, he felt a slight disturbance of space in a certain spot.
When she saw Rori about to enter the school grounds, Izumi stopped her.
"Wait a minute, Rori!"
"What's up?"
"My instincts told me that we shouldn't carelessly barge inside. And since the bombing incident, there is a possibility that this school will start to be equipped with CCTVs. It will be troublesome if the CCTVs capture our picture." Izumi warned her. And then, she asked,
"Well, what are you going to do?"
Izumi didn't reply. But, he started to use his Devil Fruit power by creating winds that revolved around him.
"Let's see to what extent I can use my new move." Izumi muttered.
He waved his hand as he closed his eyes. Afterward, the wind he created started to spread out throughout the entire school, be it inside or outside of the building.
He intended to project anything that came into contact with the wind which could create a secondary vision. By carefully feeling the grooves and waves of the wind, his vision began to take a shape.
"I see. There's not much. But, I'm sorry." Izumi muttered.
He found the hidden CCTVs. No matter what, he had to break a few of those near the class where the incident occurred.
Not long after that.
"Let's get in!" Izumi turned his head toward Rori while saying that. He grabbed Rori's hand, and then teleported to that class.
The class that was reported to be destroyed was on the second floor. Even though it was reported to have been destroyed, that was an incident last year. Now, the class has been rebuilt albeit it has never been used.
Izumi could see a classroom that was still clean with the color and smell of fresh paint. The room was still empty without wall hangings or study desks for students.
At that moment, Rori knitted her brows.
"There is a remnant of huge magic power over here!" Rori pointed at the floor below.
Meanwhile, Izumi looked at his surroundings with a bad complexion.
"It happened a year ago, but I can clearly feel a space disturbance in the surroundings. I can't imagine how big the scale of that magic would be if it could be felt a year later."
Izumi already mastered the space element, so he knew there was something wrong with the space in the surroundings. Even the slightest space disturbance could be felt by him.
"There's also a sealed dimensional crack right here. Ordinary people might not notice it. However, I more or less understand it since I know someone capable of breaking the dimensional barrier."
After Izumi heard Rori's words, he nodded while saying inwardly.
"This attack came out from this floor, and it seemed that it was coming from below as if someone sent a magic blast upward. Otherwise, the magic attack would have also destroyed the class below or the surrounding classes. In that case, this isn't an incident of being summoned to another world like what happened to Hiiro."
Then, his mind began to see the causality of the dimension cracking in front of him. Although he didn't change his expression, his heart turned frosty. He acknowledged the gravity of the matter since his mission in Edea.
"My conjecture was right off the bat. At this rate, this world will be invaded by alien beings from another world." Izumi said inwardly.
Izumi had predicted that the dimensional barrier in his world had thinned since knowing that people from his world were easily summoned to other worlds. And it was likely that sooner or later the dimensional barrier would get to the point where it couldn't hold the kind of energy of the other world. As a result, the rift of the dimensional barrier was inevitable.
Izumi held his head in vexation.
"This is troubling."
"How come?" Rori responded.
Izumi told her what was on his mind. Rori pondered while looking at the sealed crack after hearing Izumi's explanation.
"In that case, you should learn any sealing technique! Just like this." Rori pointed at the seal in the crack.
"I guess so." Izumi gave a short reply.
