Kurumi could sense someone following her without even trying. Today, Kurumi was wearing a Gothic black dress that hugged her graceful curves, but under the gaze of the person behind her, Kurumi felt as if she were wearing no clothes at all, all her physical information being observed by the other party.
Since Kurumi left to buy things, she had been closely followed. Because she had briefly investigated her with a shadow, Kurumi didn't pay her any more attention. This person's personality was quite dangerous. If one were targeted by someone troublesome in a certain sense, perhaps others might feel honored because the other party was a beautiful girl, but Kurumi, who knew the other party's true nature, only wanted to protect her back now.
'Sarashubati,' C-class, second year at Creative Academy, a schoolmate of Ayumi, and the Commander of the conservative vampire ninjas, Sarashubati is Sera's direct superior. The reason she is mentioned is because the person following Kurumi is this pervert.
"At this moment, I have discovered the descent of a goddess of beauty."
At this moment, Sarashubati had completely abandoned her usual serious demeanor, sporting a doting, infatuated expression, staring at Kurumi's back—or rather, a little below her back—with the reverent look of a devout believer seeing their god.
"That golden proportion beneath the black fabric, no matter how much it's concealed, is useless; it cannot escape my eyes."
A hint of triumph flashed in her red eyes, and the smile on her face startled passersby. Feeling the burning gaze on her back, Kurumi could no longer tolerate the feeling of being [BEEP (elegantly)] stared at, so she sped up, hurrying home.
"What a shame!"
Watching Kurumi enter the house, Sarashubati regretfully put down her camera. She dared not provoke the adult inside the house, and besides, that was Sera's task. She had the right to inquire and supervise, but not to interfere. So, Sarashubati could only cast a regretful glance at Ayumi's house before turning and leaving.
"Phew~! What a disaster!"
Kurumi, changing her shoes at the door, sensed the other party's departure and finally let out a deep sigh of relief.
"What's wrong, Kurumi? You look like you've been in a big battle."
Eucliwood obediently came to help Kurumi put the groceries in the refrigerator. Seeing Kurumi's post-battle expression, Eucliwood asked curiously.
"It's fine, I just ran into a pervert!" (Sarashubati: Achoo! Hehe, the angle I got today was good. If only a gust of wind had lifted her skirt, hehehe!)
"Do you need help?"
"It's okay, they've already left."
"Mm, it's good that Kurumi is okay."
"Go play! I'll make you your favorite braised pork ribs for lunch."
Hearing Kurumi's words, Eucliwood's eyes lit up; this was her favorite dish. So, listening to Kurumi, she went to get the laptop Kurumi had just bought and started playing games. Watching Eucliwood transform from a novice to a master, Kurumi smiled wryly and shook her head. Although she wasn't much better herself, she had somewhat gotten used to a world without constant internet immersion. Did this mean she had shed the honorary title of 'game otaku'?
"Good morning, Kurumi-tan."
"Hello, Ellie El."
Seeing Ellie El, who had come to freeload food again, Kurumi responded with a hint of helplessness. After all, she had promised the other party something and had to deliver. So, Kurumi, increasingly evolving into a chef, began to organize the ingredients.
"What's wrong, Haruna?"
Hearing hurried footsteps, Kurumi poked her head out of the kitchen and asked Haruna, who was rushing out.
"A Megalo has appeared! I'm going to deal with it, Great Teacher, and Kurumi."
"Take care! Be safe."
"Yes~!".
Watching Haruna rush off, and then glancing at Ellie El, who was leisurely sipping tea, Kurumi felt a bit speechless at this irresponsible teacher.
"Can't you go check on her? Don't forget, all her magical power has been absorbed by Eucliwood now."
"I trust that child; she won't rush in first. She'll definitely go find Ayumi-san first."
Uh! This person really understands Haruna. Feeling a little uneasy, Kurumi sent out a clone to protect Haruna and then didn't worry about the matter anymore.
"So, Ayumi caused trouble again today and even stole a maiden's first kiss."
"Yes! Please give her the most severe judgment."
Kurumi looked at Ayumi, tied up like a dumpling, with a bit of a speechless expression. Then she saw Sarashubati and Haruna's serious faces, and the girl sitting properly on the other side. At this moment, Kurumi's mind was a bit confused.
"You must have offended the God of Misfortune in your previous life, no, the life before that, to be so unlucky."
"Wuwu~! (Please save me, Goddess!)"
Kurumi gave Ayumi a sympathetic look, but she still ignored Ayumi's plea and gave her a good beating, treating her as a stress-relief punching bag.
"Gaia, is this your trial for me? I will not give up." (Gaia: Achoo!)
At this moment, Ayumi, her head full of bumps, wailed miserably, which only provoked another fierce kick from Haruna. When would this poor girl finally achieve a happy ending with her beloved Haruna?
Kurumi, who was currently playing with the unfortunate Aikawa Ayumi, had no idea that someone very familiar to her had already arrived in the Underworld of this world.
"Lord of the Underworld, ahead is a fork in the River Styx. This world is very fragile, please be merciful."
"Go! I know what to do."
On a pitch-black river in the Underworld, a formless phantom respectfully spoke to a tall, beautiful woman. If Zeus were here, she would realize that her elder sister had actually come to another world.
"I never thought the River Styx would be so vast and connected to other worlds. Is this fate urging me to find you quickly, my sister Zeus!"
Hades touched her chest; it had once pained her so much that cold sweat poured down her. Whenever she thought of her sister, her chest felt like it would explode with pain. But Hades, with this pain and her love for Zeus, broke through the barrier of the Ninth Sense and officially entered the Tenth Sense. At the moment of breakthrough, she finally understood why the Tenth Sense was so difficult to achieve. First, you needed love. What was originally a 'disease' that struck fear into the gods of the divine race was actually a power that could make them even stronger. How utterly ironic.
Having attained the Tenth Sense, Hades' connection with her divine office and the Underworld became even closer. The power of the Underworld began to exert itself upon Hades. In the Underworld, Hades was ten times stronger than her former self, and she discovered something that made her very happy.
"The Tenth Sense can break through the dimensional barrier and go to other worlds. This is excellent! I can avoid Gaia, gather strength, and search for Zeus."
Hades clenched her hands and looked down at the River Styx. At that time, she had also followed the River Styx, wanting to see if there were any materials she needed at its end. She wanted to reforge the Sword of the Underworld. Unexpectedly, as she walked, she encountered a transparent wall. Feeling that there might be something there, Hades used her power to break the wall and walked in. The river god here received her, and she gradually learned the information she needed.
"First, I must conquer this Underworld! Come forth, my warriors!"
"Yes, our King! XN"
Drawing her sword, Hades summoned her chosen 108 most elite warriors. In the darkness, one figure after another began to appear, finally opening their crimson eyes in unison, responding to their King, and then scattering. They began their invasion of the world.
