บท 216: Vengeance will be mine!
[??? Noticing you]
This notification only appeared briefly before disappearing so Kouro did not get to see it.
What's more, Kouro ignored the system notification because now he felt his life was in danger.
Him, someone who was able to defeat the Herrscher of the End and had obtained the Job {Herrscher of Shadows} felt the kind of danger from Mei?
This thought only flashed for a moment before Kouro turned his head stiffly to stare at Mei who was staring at him with slightly open eyes revealing a sharp violet gaze.
This indicates that the Persona Herrscher Mei was the one who was currently staring at Kouro or it can be said to be the one who spoke from the beginning.
Kouro squeezed cell after cell of his brain thinking of a solution to get out of this problem. His brain was thinking at a very high speed even beyond when he fought Herrscher of the End.
Less than a second later, Kouro was seen smiling charmingly and said to 'Mei', "Hahaha... It's been a while since we've seen each other. Mei, you look so pretty that I didn't even recognize you."
"..." 'Mei' was silent with her head down so Kouro could not see her expression.
"... Hahaha..." Kouro laughed embarrassedly while scratching his head.
"..." 'Mei' was still silent, no, her body was trembling now as if she was holding back, and that scared Kouro even more.
Kouro's laughter was getting stiffer and stiffer, his body was already covered in cold sweat by now. His eyes unconsciously looked at 'Mei's' hand before his eyes shook violently.
'What the hell is that! When did 'Mei' get that knife?!'
In 'Mei's' hand was a kitchen knife that at first glance looked so sharp that the light reflected off Kouro's face.
Looking at his appearance behind the reflection of the knife, he then blinked slightly as he realized that his eyes had changed, but he didn't think much of it because it was probably the after effect of the Job {Herrscher of Shadows}.
'Don't tell me 'Mei' previously really wasn't kidding about bringing that knife to cut my "D*ck"?!' Kouro thought with a tense body and unconsciously held his cock.
His body was frozen now in fear of 'Mei's' silence.
'Mei' whose body was trembling with her head bowed turned out to currently have a slightly lewd smile with her purple pupils deformed into 'Love' signs.
Her current expression was hidden and unnoticed by Kouro, otherwise Kouro might have been reminded of Yuno Gasai from a certain anime.
'Mei' touched her chest which was beating so fast that she was afraid whether Kouro heard it too.
'Almost, almost I was going to hug Kouro tightly before pinning him down and doing such a despicable act... It's a good thing that 'you' stopped me immediately.'
The person referred to as 'Mei' was Mei's original personality, if it wasn't for her, she might have committed an unforgivable offense to Kouro.
["It's okay, you better calm down first, I'll take over."] Mei said to her.
Mei's body seemed to stop trembling but her head was still bowed and the shiny kitchen knife was still held tightly by her.
"... Kouro." Mei said calmly and softly.
"Y-Yes!" Kouro subconsciously straightened up at Mei's call.
"Come here." Mei ordered calmly with her head still bowed.
Hearing her order, Kouro gulped before slowly walking into the ice cream truck, each step feeling very heavy and slow before finally standing in front of Mei in cold sweat.
The pressure Mei was currently exerting was equal, no, stronger than when he was being stared at by the Herrscher of Shadows!
Kouro who was currently racking his brain for a solution suddenly put on a blank expression as Mei suddenly hugged him tightly.
"..."
Kouro opened his mouth wanting to say something, but his brain was a little blank now making him unable to say anything and think of the reason why Mei suddenly hugged him.
'Eh? Aree? What? Why did Mei suddenly hug me?' Kouro's mind was filled with questions and the philosophy of life made his expression out of sync with his brain.
"I miss you so much, Kouro!" Mei whispered in Kouro's ear with a soft voice making Kouro's blank expression break.
"We were so angry at your sudden departure." As Mei said that, Kouro felt a sharp object on his back making his goosebumps rise.
Kouro's emotions were currently mixed right now so his expression looked strange, like a mixture of fear, surprise and blankness.
Fortunately, Mei wasn't looking at Kouro's face right now, otherwise she would be laughing out loud seeing how jokey Kouro's expression was right now.
Mei then rubbed her head against Kouro's chest, "But, on the other hand we were worried and scared by your sudden departure Kouro, we thought that you were going through something difficult so we waited for you here for a month. Luckily you're fine and unharmed."
This time, Kouro's expression calmed down a bit and smiled a little because he didn't expect them to be that worried about him.
"Mei..." Kouro said, making Mei raise her head and look at Kouro, Mei's eyes looked watery making her eyes sparkle slightly, her cheeks looked red and her small pink lips looked slightly open as if she wanted to call his name.
Kouro was amazed at her expression.
'Did Mei always look this beautiful?' The thought crossed his mind and his heart involuntarily skipped a beat.
"..."
Their faces were close, as they stared at each other, time seemed to stop as if the world belonged to the two of them.
Their eyes continued to stare at each other as if they were the most beautiful thing in the world, their faces slowly but surely approaching each other, their hearts both whether by coincidence or what but beating fast in unison.
With their faces so close and their lips about to touch each other, suddenly-
"Kouro, why is it taking so long for you to buy ice cream-" Bai Xuan who was walking towards the two of them suddenly stopped as she saw the scene in front of her with widened eyes and covered her mouth with both hands.
"Oops! Looks like I interrupted your time, then goodbye!" said Bai Xuan before running at high speed to her original place without turning around.
...
Hei Xuan who was sitting on a park bench turned her head to look at Bai Xuan who ran to her before raising her eyebrows.
"What's wrong? What about Kouro?"
The running Bai Xuan panted slightly before sitting down beside her.
"No, it's fine, I just wanted to exercise a bit, hahaha... Speaking of Kouro, he's currently doing something important so he might be a little late."
"Really?"
"In that case, I'll go to him-" Hei Xuan continued and was about to stand up only to be stopped by her.
"Don't! You can't!" Bai Xuan shouted.
"Why?" asked Hei Xuan and looked at her with a suspicious expression that made Bai Xuan sweat a little.
Bai Xuan racked her brains before saying with a slight stammer, "It-it's because Kouro is currently in the toilet."
"Ah~ I see, why didn't you say that earlier." Hei Xuan nodded in understanding and sat back down.
Seeing how easily Hei Xuan believed her words made her heart ache a little, but she did this so that Hei Xuan would not experience the pain of jealousy.
'I'm sorry, my twin, but I'm doing this for your sake.'
...
Mei, who had realized her shameful actions, immediately pushed Kouro away while holding her face which was red to the point of smoking.
'Wh-what! What! What have I done! Kouro must think I'm a slut!'
Mei then touched her chest, listening to the sound of her really loud heartbeat.
'But... At that moment... Kouro was actually looking straight at me...' Mei thought with a slight blush and smiled strangely.
Kouro on the other hand also touched his chest which was beating very fast.
'What the heck! Why is my heart beating so fast? Do I have a disease? But how is that possible?'
As Kouro thought about the previous incident, his expression became slightly flushed and his heart would beat rapidly again.
The atmosphere became quiet for a moment except for the two lovebirds whose minds were currently above the clouds right now.
"... I-I, I'll call Kiana and the others now." Mei said before getting out of the ice cream truck and fanning her face using her hands as her face was red like a tomato right now.
Seeing how quickly Mei left, Kouro took a deep breath before exhaling it to cool his mind and calm his racing heart.
"Breathe in... Let it out.... Breathe in... Breathe out... No, wait, why do I feel like a pregnant woman about to give birth?" muttered Kouro before shaking his head, he sat on one of the chairs with a pensive expression thinking about that feeling earlier while waiting for Mei to return.
"Oh, right, I had a system notification earlier, let's take a look~" he muttered.
Kouro opened his system interface and saw the reward he got from completing the [Hidden Quest].
...

....
Kouro blinked a few times, luckily his reaction wasn't as exaggerated as before, he was just a little surprised before regaining his composure.
Looking at the status points he got, Kouro unceremoniously used all of them.
...

...
He then turned to stare at his coin interface which was completely replenished, with that many coins he could buy quite a lot of blueprints from the system, except for very important things like Stigmata blueprints, it would take tens of zeros more to be able to buy them.
His eyes then turned to the third and fourth rewards before putting on a pensive expression.
He opened the system interface and looked at the abilities and under the [Unknown] ability there was a new ability.
Kouro pressed it only to find-
[Condition requirement has not been met]
It seemed like this ability required some kind of condition to be able to unlock the ability, unfortunately he didn't know what the condition was so he left it for now and turned to the last gift he got.
"I didn't expect... That the system could create a Herrscher authority as a reward even if it's just a fragment, especially since the name of the authority seems to be related to the Herrscher of the End..."
After which he stared at the silver key in his hand with a pensive expression.
...
[Item :Sanctuary Keys]
[Rarity: ???]
[Type: Dungeon Key]
A key that creates a portal to the 'Tower'. Users can use it once a week anywhere.
...
Seeing this, Kouro subconsciously muttered, "Why does it feel like the system is starting to notice my growth? No, more like trying to speed up my growth."
As he muttered that Kouro heard the sound of familiar footsteps, he stood up and was about to turn around only to be immediately hugged by someone.
"Kouro! I really missed you!"
Looking at the person who jumped up to hug him, Kouro unconsciously smiled.
"Kiana... I missed you too, really."
Mei walked towards them followed by Ayame and the others.
"Oh~ So you didn't miss us~" Ayame said with her arms folded, beside her were Bronya, Himeko, Fu Hua, Kallen [ELF], Susannah, Theresa, Ragna, Lin, Ana, Sakura, Higokumaru, Durandal and Rita.
Seeing them, Kouro unconsciously smiled sincerely, "Of course I missed you guys a lot too."
He didn't know why Sakura, Higokumaru, or Durandal and Rita were here too, but it didn't matter, seeing them all come to him like this made his heart feel warm.
Kiana, who was hugging Kouro tightly, seemed to smell Kouro like an addicted marijuana inhaler before her expression froze slightly.
Her nose moved to smell Kouro's scent to confirm something, she smelled Mei's scent, for this she didn't think much of it, but she smelled the scent of unknown girls from Kouro's body, and there were so many that it made her head a little dizzy.
"Kouro, why do you have so many unfamiliar girl scents?" Kiana said hesitantly and she also did not let Kouro out of her arms.
Hearing her words, Kouro's expression turned white, while Mei and the others immediately looked at him sharply.
Mei seemed to remember something before saying, "Right, I also remember you being with an unknown girl too... "
She didn't recognize Bai Xuan who was Ji Xuanyuan because of her trendy-looking clothes and also Mei knew that Ji Xuanyuan was dead in contrast to the girl who met Kouro and her.
As Mei said that, Kouro felt their sharp gazes become even sharper to the point of piercing him. His expression at this time became even whiter as if his soul had been sucked out.
"... Bronya, get Kouro's cell phone." Mei said coldly.
"Yes, Mei Nee-sama." Bronya took Kouro's cell phone that was in his back pocket and turned it on.
Looking at the screen of Kouro's cell phone, Bronya's eyebrows raised slightly as Kouro did not put a password on his cell phone.
She glanced at him for a moment before opening Kouro's phone gallery.
Kouro, who was hugged by Kiana so tightly that he could not escape, saw Mei and the others' expressions darken as they looked at his cell phone gallery.
Seeing this, Kouro's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he remembered that he didn't have any strange or particularly obscene photos in his phone, at most there was only a selfie of him with Bai and Hei while enjoying the last day off.
With her bright purple eyes, 'Mei' raised her head and looked at Kouro coldly.
"Which do you prefer, Kouro? Burnt, cut, fried, or buried?"
(E/D: As a memer I would say both, yes, both but sometimes… memes aren't the answer.)
"Wa-wait, I think you guys misunderstood something!" said Kouro trying to defend himself.
"... Well, then, explain to us about this photo."
Bronya with cold eyes then showed a photo from his cell phone.
Kouro then opened his mouth to explain only to stop because seeing the picture displayed on his cell phone made his eyes widen and bulge.
The picture was of him sleeping half naked exposing his top half with an adult Mobius sitting beside him facing the camera and covering her body with a blanket without wearing any clothes.
"You really are the worst, Kouro."
Kouro's eyes were currently completely bulging staring at the image.
'What the hell! When was that picture taken?! I don't remember doing that with Mobius!' Kouro thought hysterically.
He dug into his memory before his eyes widened slightly, he remembered that he lent his cell phone to Mobius because he wanted to research whether his cell phone's radio waves were different from other worlds.
The moment he thought of this, Kouro instantly raised his head with shining eyes wanting to straighten out their misunderstanding only to find Mei and the others looking at him very coldly.
"Wait, why are you guys paying so much attention to this? It's not like you guys are my girlfriends right? And I cheated on you guys-"
The girls' expressions turned red at his reasonable words, unfortunately Kouro was unable to finish his words as he was currently being 'German Suplexed' by Kiana.
*BAM!*
Kouro's head instantly hit the floor not only that he was then immediately spun like a propeller by Kiana before being directly uppercut by Bronya's 'Stand' into the sky.
Kouro who saw the blue sky was shedding tears.
'Mobius! Vengeance will be mine!'
