God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls!

"..."

Listening to Sakuragi Hitomi's words, An Le gradually revealed an expression that said, "I don't understand, but I'm greatly shocked."

To the point where his mouth slightly opened, as if trying to swallow back the assessment he had just made.

You people are too terrifying...

Though, it seems I'm more or less the same?

"There's no need to look at me like that, the President already... knows about this."

Sakuragi Hitomi stared somewhat blankly at the floor, speaking as if her heart had grown despondent.

As she spoke, she sighed again and said to An Le,

"So, don't call me a good person.

"To be honest, I'm just struggling to become a better version of myself...

"Especially seeing the President stand up for Spencer during the club competition finals.

"I fell for the President because of things like that, but I couldn't help but think, if everything I do goes against what I love...

"Will what I love ever come to love me in return?

"Though, even if I do this, I still feel... the President might not like this version of myself anymore..."

Upon hearing this, An Le tilted her head, but bluntly said,

"But if Xiao Huan really thinks that way, why would he rush over to help you when he heard you couldn't return to Linmen?"

"..."

These words left Sakuragi Hitomi stunned, then she explained to herself,

"Maybe it's because of past feelings... the key is the usual times... ever since the President found out about the spying, it feels different from before... besides, I can't spy to know the President's thoughts, nor can I act in a way he likes..."

"...You're just overthinking things, Vice President Sakuragi."

"I'm not!"

"...But you clearly are."

An Le looked at the rambling Sakuragi Hitomi in front of her, unsure of what she was worried about.

In her view, Sakuragi Hitomi and Xiao Huan have ideal conditions.

They've been together for so long, their feelings are deep, and Xiao Huan obviously feels something unique for her.

Today, hearing Sakuragi Hitomi expose her dark history, An Le felt even more astonished.

With Xiao Huan running over to help instead of fleeing after the spying incident, he even came to help her with the Linmen issue...

If it were anyone else, they'd be celebrating, but you're here stuck on failure.

The advice is, if you don't know how to handle it, then don't.

And in front of her, feeling An Le's gaze, Sakuragi Hitomi's face turned bright red,

"Huh? You're talking as if you understand everything!

"Then, let me ask you, yesterday at the hotel, when the President called your name as he came up, you acted as if you'd excluded yourself...

"Aren't you the President's childhood friend? Why would you think that way? Aren't you overthinking things yourself?"

Upon hearing this, An Le's eyes dimmed involuntarily.

She shook her head and simply said,

"It's different... At that moment, maybe Xiao Huan heard us talking in the corridor and knew I was there, that's all..."

"I don't get it, how is it different? Clearly..."

"It's just different, Vice President Sakuragi."

Sakuragi Hitomi seemed to want to say something more, but An Le interrupted,

"Unlike you, who isn't sure if Xiao Huan likes you or not... I can be sure that Xiao Huan's feelings for me aren't romantic..."

"..."

These words left Sakuragi Hitomi stunned, not knowing what to say for a long time.

Especially seeing An Le, who was somewhat sad but so straightforwardly admitting it.

At this moment, she wished Bai Yi's confidence could be shared with An Le.

At least Bai Yi, even when facing the truth, had an inexplicable confidence.

Not knowing what to say, Sakuragi Hitomi had to change the topic, returning to the main point,

"Ahem... So, what I mean is, since we all want to stop the superpowers from harming the President, why battle desperately?

"Before, Ye Shiyu and I almost fell to unknown places outside the Barrier, Ye Shiyu broke your Tentacles, you were in excruciating pain...

"What's the point? As long as we're here balancing each other, controlling the situation, isn't that good enough?"

After listening to Sakuragi's full suggestions, An Le pondered for a second but still decisively shook her head.

"This... won't work, Vice President Sakuragi."

"Why? Why do you insist on us losing our superpowers before stopping, I don't believe that like Bai Yi guessed, you'll use superpowers for your own good once ours are gone..."

Faced with her thoughtless rejection, Sakuragi Hitomi became even more confused,

"Yes, in terms of conditions, Ye Shiyu, Spencer, and I are good, Bai Yi is decent too.

"But that doesn't mean we won't face problems, be they psychological or external environmental issues...

"Just like this time, one word from my grandfather keeps me from returning to Linmen. If I clash with my grandfather, my parents might also be affected!

"At this moment, maybe I could use the Barrier to do something to help them!

"Why, why insist on a strict separation? What's the point?

"Superpowers themselves are innocent, as long as they are used well!"

But An Le merely glanced at the transparent bracelet on Sakuragi Hitomi's wrist, asking seemingly random,

"Vice President Sakuragi, how much does this bracelet, which monitors your physical condition all the time, cost?"

"...About a hundred thousand? I'm not sure of the exact price..."
