On the rooftop, the girl had just run there when she stopped again. Standing before her was a girl with a ponytail, and behind the ponytail girl was another person, except this person seemed to be trapped by green light surrounding them.
"Who are you!?" The girl watched the person in front of her warily, gripping the compass tighter in her hand.
The girl with the ponytail was actually April. Asagami Fujino had told her to wait for someone on the balcony, but unexpectedly, she met October there. To test her own strength, April had sparred with October. The result was obvious: October, who had never encountered the existence of Magic, was caught completely off guard by the mysterious Magic.
"April, let her go."
September appeared behind the girl. After saying that one sentence, she walked past the girl and went to October, who was behind April.
Seeing the immobilized October, September's eyes lit up. She pulled out a pile of cosmetics from her spatial ring and started playing around, completely ignoring October's darkening face.
"April, how long can your Magic trap October for?" September turned to April.
"Ah? About an hour, I guess. Brother October can't even use his Seventh Sense right now." April quickly replied after realizing.
"April, you're amazing! I must get Fujino to teach me that Magic!" September said excitedly. To trap someone and prevent them from using their Seventh Sense—such powerful Magic she absolutely had to learn. Once she learned it, she could basically do whatever she wanted. By then, a mere October wouldn't be able to escape her bullying. Not just October, but anyone she didn't like, she'd give them a taste. Simply invincible!
"Hehe." April could only let out a dry laugh. How could she not know September's intentions? She could only silently mourn for those who would fall victim in the future.
As for the girl, seeing April and September completely ignore her, she gritted her teeth and ran away.
"Sister September, shouldn't we stop her?" April asked softly.
September's movements paused slightly as she applied makeup to October, then she said, "No need to bother with her. Ryusei is about to run into her; just leave it to them. April, come help me too."
"Oh." April responded softly, coming to September's side. Looking at the cosmetics on the ground, her mood stirred slightly. Putting makeup on her once-respected Brother October—the thought itself was thrilling.
So, under October's near-collapsing gaze, April picked up the cosmetics and began the great project of applying makeup to October's face with September.
Meanwhile, Ryusei, who had sent Xiao Fei and the others to pretend to be September Days and lure away the others while he went to capture September Days alone, met the girl impersonating September Days at a corner.
"Bang!"
The two collided. However, Ryusei, being tough-skinned, recovered after a brief dizziness, but the other person wasn't so lucky and was knocked unconscious on the ground.
"Is this September Days?" Ryusei looked at the veiled girl on the ground, feeling a bit confused. She felt different from the September Days he had seen before; her figure seemed a bit off.
However, when Ryusei saw the compass in the girl's hand on the ground, he was stunned. Wasn't this the compass from N Company? Could she really be September Days? Just changed her appearance?
Looking at the veil on the woman's face, Ryusei hesitated for a moment before bending down and removing it.
A very beautiful face. Ryusei's face flushed slightly as he looked at the girl's appearance. Although she couldn't compare to his several masters, she was still quite rare. Speaking of which, it was strange; all his masters were very beautiful, but Ryusei felt a very peculiar way about them, as if he couldn't muster any interest, a kind of blandness.
"What should I do now?" Ryusei could now confirm that this was probably not the real September Days. Her face was different, and if it were September Days, would she be so easily caught by him? So Ryusei thought this woman must be impersonating September Days. Ryusei had been suspicious before; September Days never made such a big fuss, and to even directly issue a challenge? Wasn't that just creating trouble for herself and increasing the difficulty?
"Yo! Finally found you!" Qi Xiaosai popped out from who knows where, waving his hand to greet Ryusei.
"You—Pfft!"
Ryusei couldn't help but burst out laughing. Qi Xiaosai actually had a flower stuck in his head. Was this the legendary "head blooming with flowers"? How did he do it?
"What's wrong with you?" Qi Xiaosai looked at the continuously laughing Ryusei in confusion. He had no idea there was a flower in his head. After waking up from the crowd, he immediately went to look for Ryusei.
0—"No, haha... nothing."
Although he said so, the uncontrollable smile on Ryusei's face still indicated a problem. But Qi Xiaosai didn't think much of it, his gaze falling on the unconscious woman on the ground. Although he knew she was an imposter, he still said, "Is she September Days? We finally caught her!"
"This is probably not September Days." Ryusei said awkwardly.
"Huh?" Qi Xiaosai feigned surprise.
"Anyway, let's take her back first." Ryusei said, trying to pick up the woman on the ground, but another hand was quicker, directly scooping her into its embrace.
"En?" Ryusei looked at Qi Xiaosai, puzzled.
"Let me do it. You're tired from catching September Days, so leave this small matter to me. Trust me!" Qi Xiaosai said righteously. If his eyes weren't constantly glancing at the person in his arms, he would have been more convincing.
"Whatever you want." Ryusei said helplessly, then took out his phone to tell Xiao Fei and the others to quickly escape the pursuit and prepare to withdraw.
On the rooftop, April and September were admiring October, who they had meticulously made up. October's originally resolute face had become soft, almost feminine, under their careful adornment. His fair, rosy cheeks, hazy eyes that seemed to well with tears, and pitiful expression—if he were dressed in women's clothes, he would be a stunning beauty.
However, they didn't have any women's clothing on them. September did, but October couldn't wear it.
"Click."
The camera's shutter clicked. April and September looked in the direction of the sound. Behind them, Asagami Fujino was holding a camera.
"I never thought October, you'd be so beautiful when dressed up. You could even rival Ryusei." Asagami Fujino smiled and pressed the shutter of her camera again. Such an October was rare; she had to photograph him well for posterity.
Damn it! October wanted to stop them, but the Magic April cast on him rendered him immobile, and even his Seventh Sense seemed suppressed. Being made up by September and April was one thing—they were his sisters, after all, and no one else saw it. But now it was different; Asagami Fujino had seen him and taken photos. This was the biggest stain on his life! Three.
