บท 258: Chapter 257: How are you here?

Monday.

The hot weather continued.

It seemed to Kagura Hikaru that this summer might be unusually long.

Perhaps it was the sun heating up the sky and the constant chirping of cicadas that told him so.

In the afternoon after school, he was in his room packing his bag with enough clothes for a change and a Swiss Army Knife, praised universally as a multi-tool.

The latter was his self-defense tool; even if it was discovered, it wouldn't raise suspicions, nor would he be treated as a dangerous person to be expelled or monitored.

Frankly, that was the kind of place he was heading to today.

Last week, Ms. Kurosaki from the Happiness Cult had given him an invitation.

The invite detailed the location and time of the gathering, and it mentioned that guests could choose to stay overnight voluntarily.

This subtle invitation from the Happiness Cult was also a stepping stone for an undercover mission.
