Chapter 280: Together with Sae Chabashira and Shizuka Hiratsuka Once More...
.....
The school day drew to a close, and Sobu High transitioned into after-school hours. Seito and Kirukiru Amou stood up in unison and left the classroom. Once the other girls who usually walked home with them had gathered, Seito spoke with a smile.
"Let's head out."
The group nodded and left the building, walking toward the academy gates. As they strolled through the streets, chatting and laughing, life felt exceptionally pleasant.
Seito glanced at their current location. "I still have to give the Nakano quintuplets their lesson. You guys head back first."
"Mhm." Amou nodded, and the rest of the girls had no objections.
Seito turned and departed. Once he reached a secluded spot, he used Spatial Movement to jump directly into the Nakano sisters' apartment. He waited for about five minutes before the five sisters returned home one by one.
When they saw Seito already lounging inside, their expressions were a mix of exasperation and shock.
"Hmph! You really should stop using that teleportation ability of yours so casually!" Nino snorted coldly. What if Seito teleported in while she was sleeping? She gave him a sharp warning.
"Don't sweat it," Seito smiled breezily. "I just didn't feel like waiting for you to open the door. Let's start today's lesson."
The sisters didn't push the issue further. They set down their bags and sat around him.
Time flew by, and soon it was 7:00 PM. By now, Seito had finished teaching the quintuplets all the first-year curriculum and had even delved into some second-year material.
7:00 PM.
Outside the Nakano Apartment Building.
Exiting the lobby, Seito turned to Ichika.
"Ichika, no need to see me out. I'll be heading back now."
"Alright." Ichika smiled and waved. "See you tomorrow, Seito-kun."
"See you tomorrow." Seito smiled back and turned away.
Walking down the street, he stretched his arms over his head. Going home this early felt a bit boring; he might as well find some fun elsewhere.
It's been a while since I visited Sae-sensei~
Realizing he hadn't had a "duel" with Sae Chabashira in quite some time, Seito found an alley, used spatial perception to pinpoint her location, and vanished.
Elsewhere, with Sae Chabashira.
Sae had moved into a new place today—specifically, right next door to Shizuka Hiratsuka. In the faculty lounge, Shizuka was the only one she was truly close with. The two women were currently busy organizing boxes in Sae's new apartment.
"Finally, it's done!" Shizuka stretched, having just finished pushing the last cabinet into place.
"Thanks for the help today." Sae pulled out a pack of cigarettes and offered one to Shizuka.
"Don't mention it." Shizuka waved it off and took the cigarette. The two sat on the edge of the bed and lit up.
Zip—!
Suddenly, Seito's figure materialized in the room.
"When I was sensing the area, I thought the location felt familiar. I didn't realize it was right next to Shizuka-sensei's place," Seito said with a grin.
Shizuka and Sae exchanged a glance. Almost instantly, both of their faces flushed a deep red.
"You came looking for Sae... could it be...?" Shizuka's words were a bit hesitant, but all three of them knew exactly what she was implying.
"Exactly!" Seito admitted shamelessly. He then looked at Shizuka. "It's a good thing you're here, too. Otherwise, I was worried Sae-sensei wouldn't be able to handle the pressure alone."
Shizuka: "..."
Sae Chabashira: "..."
What kind of wolfish, predatory talk is this?! the two women complained inwardly.
Crushing her cigarette, Sae stood up. "Fine. Go take a shower first. Shizuka and I just finished cleaning the room."
Seito gave an 'OK' gesture. As Sae walked toward the bathroom, Seito grabbed Shizuka's hand and pulled her along after her.
3:00 AM.
Outside Seito's Apartment Building.
"How strange."
Entering the building, Seito looked thoughtful. While "battling" Shizuka and Sae, he had sensed that the density of monsters in the real world seemed to be increasing. It wasn't just a hunch; it was becoming a reality.
"I wonder how Elder Yang plans to handle this."
Seito thought of the old man. This was likely a massive headache for the authorities. However, the Eastern Country was currently home to a large number of people who had manifested their powers, so there was no immediate crisis.
As he pondered the situation, Seito reached his front door. Using his key, he stepped inside and scanned the house with his senses.
Kanade wasn't in her own room; she was in Amou's room, and Amou was already fast asleep while holding her. Not wanting to disturb them, Seito opted for a True Login and entered the God Domain.
God Domain, 60th Floor Safe Zone.
Logging in, Seito immediately flew toward the Boss Dungeon while opening the Executive Channel. Only the siblings "Blank" and Ako were currently online.
Sei: Sora, Shiro, Ako—come to the Boss Dungeon for a second.
Sora: What's up?
Sei: I've got something to tell you.
Sora: Alright.
Shiro: On my way!
Ako: I... me too.
Seito closed the channel and accelerated. A short while later, he was sitting on a large boulder outside the dungeon entrance as the three arrived.
"Seito, what did you need us for?" Sora asked, his expression calm.
"A small matter." Seito pulled out the Poison God Divinity.
[Poison God Divinity: Can be given to someone who has opened the Path to Godhood, allowing them to become the God of Poison and gain the corresponding authority.]
"Ako, I intend to make you my Subordinate Deity. How do you feel about that?" Seito looked at her.
"Eh? Me?!" Ako cried out in shock. She lowered her head in thought for a moment before nodding vigorously. "President, I agree!"
She was never a top-tier gamer to begin with. Everything she had achieved was thanks to Seito, so she had no reason to refuse.
"Excellent." Seito smiled and handed over the Godhead. "Absorb it now."
