Chapter 351: 141. Natsuki Kuri, you have done many evil deeds!
Hm?
The Fox Girl has arrived?
How did Miss Miki know about the Fox Girl?
Fujiwara Reya’s heart skipped a beat as he stared straight at Kawashima Miki.
At that moment, Miss Miki had her lips curled in disdain, revealing rows of sharp teeth, glinting dangerously... In her imposing eyes, besides his own reflection, there was a swaying fox tail at the edge of her pupil.
In an instant, cold sweat covered his entire body.
"This... Can’t be right?" Fujiwara Reya asked dumbfoundedly.
"What do you think?" Kawashima Miki was waiting with a stern face, giving off a slightly fierce vibe, although the blush on her face had not yet faded.
Fujiwara Reya struggled to lift his head.
In the night, he saw those fox-like eyes glowing faintly, their unparalleled beauty overlooking him with a smiling but cold gaze, mocking his resolve. The mocking lips seemed to say: Lie down nicely for Auntie to toy with.
This kind of Auntie scared Fujiwara Reya so much that his heart skipped a beat!
"Kuri, what have you done..."
Natsuki Kuri did not answer, only smiled charmingly.
Her elegant and profound eyes pierced through the darkness, fixating on a meaningless point on his face. The noise of the stage drowned out her silence, and looking at such a woman, Fujiwara Reya couldn’t help but feel she was the most perfect madwoman in the world.
Kawashima Miki slightly squinted her eyes, sizing up the Natsuki Kuri who appeared above her.
Natsuki Kuri glanced at her.
Suddenly, the sound of a tree being kicked came from below.
Fujiwara Reya looked down; through the gaps in the leaves, he saw the younger student angrily looking up at the tree top.
No way... His heart skipped a beat, carefully checking the surroundings. Unless the two of them used Divine Power, they shouldn’t be discovered. Luckily, a moment later, the younger student’s angry voice came over.
"That woman in the purple yukata is definitely a fox spirit! Senior, should I use Divine Power to drive everyone away and find the senior no matter what?"
Is that so, Fujiwara Reya breathed a sigh of relief.
No, wait.
What a relief...
The younger student honestly might do that.
For now, Fujiwara Reya could only rely on the senior, hoping she could stop her.
"So many women are fighting over you." Natsuki Kuri landed lightly, sitting on the tree trunk to Fujiwara Reya’s right. Then, she casually wrapped her right hand around his and rested her head on his right shoulder. Not to be outdone, Kawashima Miki also wrapped her hand around his, resting her head on his other shoulder.
"Two peerless enchantresses are in your arms." Natsuki Kuri reached out her finger and prodded his cheek, "Auntie did so much for you; are you moved?"
I dare not move at all... Fujiwara Reya, right now, was just like a puppet.
Under the tree, Hoshimi Rinko, covered with countless green leaves above, spoke gently: "Most people here are ordinary. If you use Divine Power, it will surely make a part of the people aware that extraordinary power exists in the world."
"So what if they know, what’s the problem?" Kasahara Asuka said nonchalantly.
"I mean," Hoshimi Rinko sighed, full of helplessness in her voice, "do you know why we have to conceal the existence of extraordinary power from ordinary people?"
"Isn’t it to maintain stability and benefit!" Kasahara Asuka said, pursing her cheeks in displeasure. Then she tilted her head to one side, looking at Hoshimi Rinko with an "isn’t it" gaze, "In ’The Crowd,’ it says, ’The crowd never thirsts for the truth. Its influence on the imagination is not from the truth itself but from the way it spreads and propagates.’ By cutting off ordinary people’s knowledge of the extraordinary from the source, it can maintain social stability and consolidate the benefits of our group."
"You actually know ’The Crowd’?" Hoshimi Rinko was somewhat surprised.
"Hehe!" Kasahara Asuka proudly puffed out her chest, "Asuka is the greatest genius!"
"Stop being narcissistic. Since you know ’The Crowd’, how come you didn’t remember another phrase?" Hoshimi Rinko gently lowered her long eyelashes, smiling lightly: "An individual in solitude can control their responses, but a crowd lacks this ability."
"Does that relate to what we are discussing?"
"Which is more difficult to solve, ordinary crimes or supernatural crimes?"
"Of course, supernatural crimes."
"There you have it." With that, Hoshimi Rinko exhaled slightly, "If only a small portion of people knows about extraordinary power, they will better control their impulsive thoughts. But if everyone knows, then supernatural crimes will become as widespread as ordinary crimes."
Kasahara Asuka blinked, her expression half-understanding.
"By hiding the truth from ordinary people, we are actually protecting them. If they learn that there is a stronger, harder-to-detect power, many law-abiding people now will likely take risks, thinking they won’t be caught, leading to an inevitable surge in supernatural cases in society."
"Is that so..." Kasahara Asuka seemed lost in thought, uncertain if she fully understood.
"From your perspective, concealment is to maintain stability and benefit; from the perspective of ordinary people, revealing the truth increases their risk of harm." Hoshimi Rinko tugged at her sleeve, her expression as gentle as when looking at a younger sister whose grades had improved, "Fujiwara has always hoped you would learn to switch your perspective, empathizing with the problems others face instead of being confined by a fixed mindset."
