On the morning of July 30, Hikaru Kamikawa looked at Touma's door while carrying fresh fruits bought from the supermarket.

The door opened, and Touma yawned and said, "Ah, who is it so early? Is it you, Hikaru Kamikawa?"

"Why do you look so tired?" Hikaru Kamikawa entered the room and when he saw Index still sleeping soundly on the bed, he immediately showed an "I know you very well" expression.

"Hey, we're all men, so I can't tell you. This is for you." Kamikawa Hikaru smiled sinisterly and handed the fruit in his hand to Touma.

"What did you understand?" Touma immediately realized that his friend had misunderstood him because he saw Index who was still bedridden.

"My conscience, you know, that's where I sleep at night!" Touma pointed to the bathroom with great grief and indignation.

"Don't you see that your taste is quite unique? Do you like the smell there?" A lot of cold sweat broke out on Kamikawa's bald head.

"...It's in the bathtub. Index always wants to sleep with me in a daze at night, so I have to sleep there!" Touma said depressedly.

"Well, since she likes to sleep with you, what does it matter? Could it be? With such a young girl, you can also..." Kamikawa Hikaru couldn't help but take a step back.

Touma didn't speak, but looked at him with an expression as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Such a young girl?" a voice sounded from beside her.

"That's right. Although she looks very cute, she has no breasts and likes to bite. Moreover, she is not good at cooking and housework. Touma, you...you..." Kamikawa Hikaru realized something was wrong halfway through saying it. Index was no longer on the bed.

The snoozing figure only felt that there seemed to be an extremely powerful aura locking itself behind him.

"Uh... Excuse me, am I going to be in a tragedy?" Kamikawa Hikari pointed at himself.

"Yeah!" Touma nodded firmly.

"Am I so unattractive in your eyes? Click!" Index gave Kamikawa Hikaru an angry blow on the head!

Kamikawa Hikari felt dizzy and fell onto the tatami.

…………………………………………………………………………

"Are you awake?" Touma fanned Kamikawa Hikaru with a fan. It took a long time for him to wake up.

"I think I saw my grandfather on the other side of the river just now." Kamikawa Hikaru said with a little nostalgia.

"..."

Index, on the other hand, was still sulking and watching TV. When she saw Kamikawa Hikari waking up, she made a "humph" sound, took her eyes away from him, and started watching TV.

"Touma, thank you for your hard work..." Kamikawa Hikaru whispered.

"Thank you! You are the only one who knows me!" Touma burst into tears.

"By the way, there's something I haven't asked you yet. This!" Touma picked up the sleeping black cat lying on the ground from the side and asked with a serious face: "Is this what you gave to Index?

"

"Well, I thought she felt very pitiful staying at home so lonely every day, so I gave it to her. On the other hand, Touma, you should spend more time with Index." Kamikawa Mitsuru said sternly. Index next to her

Tix couldn't help but nodded.

"Well..." Touma, who was about to continue questioning, was suppressed by Kamikawa Hikari with moral principles, but he still continued unwillingly: "But I am already very poor. If there is one more diner..."

"Are you going to throw it away?" Kamikawa Hikaru asked.

"Touma, don't throw it away!" Index heard and ran over quickly, standing in front of the door with her arms spread out to prevent Touma from going out.

"Hey, forget it." Touma sighed, put the cat on the ground, and said helplessly: "There are already so many cats anyway, and your appetite is not big, so one more cat is not too much."

Seeing Kamikawa Hikari's embarrassed smile, he immediately knew what his friend wanted to do when he came over this time.

"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, I'm here to supervise your summer homework. This is specially assigned by Teacher Xiaomeng." Kamikawa Hikaru said with a smile.

"Summer homework? I really forgot." Touma nodded and asked, "This, is Teacher Xiaomeng?"

Kamikawa Hikaru knew that he had lost his memory, so he patiently explained: "It is one of the seven wonders of the academy. It is said that he took some kind of unknown medicine invented by the man in black and was stuck in the first grade of elementary school forever. Moreover.

, She likes you very much. Every time she fails the cram school, Touma, you always attend without fail~"

Touma's face turned red and white at what he said, and he murmured: "So there is another reason. No wonder you came to supervise my homework."

Index on the side was holding back a smile.

"Also, if I stay up late helping you, I wouldn't mind having a meal at your house."

"This is your goal, right?" Touma couldn't help but complain.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

After having a meal at Touma's house, Kamikawa Hikaru felt his belly with satisfaction and headed to the place where he worked. Although the dishes Touma cooked could only be said to be barely acceptable, they were still much better than his three meals of either instant noodles or compressed biscuits.

no?

"Speaking of which, I wonder how Oita-sama is doing." Hikaru Kamikawa thought of the sister he met yesterday who looked the same as Mikoto but had a completely opposite personality.

For some reason, Kamikawa Hikaru felt like he wanted to see her at this moment. It was a very subconscious feeling. It wasn't that he liked her, nor did he want to ask her for help, but he simply wanted to see her again.

"Forget it, we just met once." Kamikawa Hikaru shook his head and threw this feeling out of his mind.

At this time, under the bridge.

The white-haired boy stepped on a girl under his feet. The girl was already soaked. Half of her body was still in the water, and her upper body was lying on the river bank. The water near her lower body had turned red, but her hands were still

Holding a pendant tightly.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be able to escape by diving. You even prepared a propeller in the water. I didn't expect you to learn better every time, but it's useless to me. You can't escape me.

In the palm of my hand, haha!" He stepped hard on the girl's hand that was holding the pendant. The girl groaned in pain, but still did not let go.

"Really, it's really cold under the water. Let me help you." After saying that, the white-haired boy kicked the girl's waist. A huge force came from his feet and kicked the girl far away.

.The impact of falling from the air to the hard ground caused the girl's wound to completely burst open, and blood continued to flow out.

The pendant in her hand was lost in the sky due to the momentary pain, fell into the water, and floated downstream.

The girl stared blankly at the frog hanging floating further and further away. She stretched her hand forward, as if she wanted to take it back. But in mid-air, her hand dropped weakly, and her eyes completely lost their luster. It seemed that

Out of reluctance, a tear flowed down the corner of her eye. The blood flowing from her wound dyed the ground where she fell red.

"It's a waste of time, go back. You guys, get rid of her." Seeing that the girl was dead, the white-haired boy curled his lips in boredom, shouted to the people above, put his hands in his pockets, and left here

.For him, this is just an experiment. Even if he kills thousands or even tens of thousands of girls, he will not feel any guilt.

It only costs tens of thousands of yen to produce a replica. In the final analysis, it is just an object, not even a human being.

However, the tears she shed in the end made me feel extremely concerned. Why? In the past, it was clearly an object that had no emotions at all even if it was killed. Why did she shed tears?

However, in order to destroy this city and kill that person, I must reach level 6. Even if I fall into deeper darkness, I will not hesitate!

……………………………………………………………………………………

Kamikawa Hikaru was wearing a frog costume and handing out balloons, sweat streaming down his face.

"Ah! It's too hot. This kind of work really isn't done by humans. No wonder no one wants to compete with me when the working fee is so high!" Kamikawa Hikaru complained dissatisfiedly, but the salary made him extremely happy. At this pace,

If you look at it, you will soon be able to earn enough to buy an apartment!

At this time, a familiar figure came here.

She wore military goggles on her head, but her eyes showed no emotion, just staring blankly at the big frog doll.

"Sister Oita?" Hikaru Kamikawa took off the frog head and said with a little joy, and the feeling of uneasiness before disappeared.

I really thought that there was nothing to worry about. Kamikawa Hikari smiled helplessly and asked: "What a coincidence, do you want balloons too?"

"Oita thanks Mr. Hikaru Kamikawa for his kindness. Oita said he doesn't like balloons." Sister Oita bowed respectfully and thanked him.

"Oh, that's how it is……"

"Oita came here this time to return the Guata pendant." After saying that, she handed the frog pendant that she had given her before and handed it back to Kamikawa Hikari.

"What, don't you like it?" Kamikawa Hikaru was a little surprised. She seemed to like it when he gave it to her yesterday.

"Oita shook his head and said, although Oita likes this pendant very much, he does not have the ability to keep it well, so he returned it to Mr. Kamikawa Hikaru. Oita looked at the pendant and showed a very difficult to let go of it." Sister Oita seemed to have a hard time letting go.

I really couldn’t bear to look at this pendant.

"What? Even if you lose it, you can just buy it again. If you want it, you can always ask me." Kamikawa Hikaru couldn't help laughing. Her reason was really strange. It seemed that she had to return it because she cherished it too much.

Sister Yu Ban just shook her head and continued: "Yu Ban is going to continue the experiment at this time. He was already late last time. This time Yu Ban must go on time."

"Experiment?" Kamikawa Hikaru asked.

"Oita apologizes again. Because Mr. Hikaru Kamikawa is a staff member, Oita cannot disclose the details of the experiment. Oita would like to say goodbye." Sister Oita bowed her head politely, and then trotted away from here.

Kamikawa Hikaru looked at her running back, always feeling as if she was getting further and further away from him. Sister Oita ran into the crowd and disappeared from Kamikawa Hikaru's sight.

"Why don't you have the ability to keep this?" Kamikawa Hikaru suddenly noticed something red on the pendant.

'What's this?'

Looking at the pendant in his hand, Kamikawa Hikaru became silent. It seems that next time, it is necessary to ask Sister Oita about the contents of her experiment.
