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

"Klik~"

At the same time, in another guest room.

The sound of a sliding door being pushed open rang out. An Le had already finished washing up and planned to return to her room to rest.

At this moment, the night was deep, and the Sakuragi Residence was eerily quiet.

The guest rooms were separated by a courtyard, making it difficult to discern what was happening in other rooms, only identifiable by their extinguished lights; it seemed everyone else had gone to sleep.

But in An Le's room, the lights were still on.

Because her roommate was not asleep; instead, she was kneeling upright in a bathrobe on the tatami, waiting for her return.

It was Sakuragi Hitomi.

"Vice President Sakuragi..."

Looking at Sakuragi Hitomi in the room, An Le paused for a second before entering the room, quietly shutting the sliding door behind her.

As the door closed, Sakuragi Hitomi took a deep breath and looked at An Le,

"An Le, you should be able to tell I've chosen to share a room with you because I wanted a good chat, right?"

An Le nodded, as she tucked her portable toiletries into her suitcase, saying,

"What if I don't want to talk to you?"

"..."

Upon hearing An Le's resolute words, Sakuragi Hitomi wasn't angry; instead, she smiled and said,

"It feels like ever since you acquired the superpower, your courage has grown. You would never have dared speak to me like this before...

"Earlier still, we couldn't counter Lucianna's words, yet you stopped her right away.

"You are aware of how influential her family is, right?"

Hearing Sakuragi Hitomi say this, An Le realized it belatedly.

But it wasn't because she had a superpower; it was because she knew the truth behind the superpowers given by Little Thumb, and her decision to eliminate others' superpowers led to this.

Was it because it didn't matter anymore that her courage grew?

Thinking of this, An Le couldn't help but touch her right shoulder, which was starting to feel numb.

!!

Watching An Le raise her hand, Sakuragi Hitomi thought she was about to initiate a move in zero frames, so she immediately rolled up the sleeves of her bathrobe.

Revealing her slender arm and the transparent wristband strapped to it.

"...An Le, do you know what this is?"

"I don't..."

"This is a wristband developed by the Spencer family that can monitor one's physical condition at any time. If there is anything unusual, everyone at home would be notified and come here immediately!"

Sakuragi Hitomi squinted her eyes and said,

"Including my brother, who is staying with the President."

"..."

Upon hearing this, An Le showed no extra reactions and didn't reply.

"So, can we have a proper talk now?"

"...Then, Vice President Sakuragi, what do you want to talk about?"

Raising her hand with the wristband strapped, Sakuragi Hitomi soon felt sore after just a few seconds.

So, she lowered her hand, with sweat on her forehead, and continued,

"I know you acted against us for the President. But whether you believe it or not, your accusations against me are completely wrong.

"I never planned to use superpowers to harm the President, seldom did I use them on others...

"Because I know, recklessly using powers to influence others will eventually bring disaster upon oneself.

"So, even if I detest Lucianna, today I still wanted to stop you from using your superpower against her...

"Though, I don't think you would do it unless absolutely necessary."

After hearing Sakuragi Hitomi's words, An Le didn't argue with her; instead, she pressed her lips and said,

"Yes, I trust you, Vice President Sakuragi."

"Eh?"

Sakuragi Hitomi, who was prepared for a verbal battle with An Le, didn't expect her to relent so quickly; she even wondered if An Le was playing a trick.

Feigning dormancy to lure the enemy?

To relax her vigilance?

"But, Vice President Sakuragi wouldn't do it; does that mean both Bai Yi and Senior Sister Ye wouldn't either?"

"This..."

This question made Sakuragi Hitomi feel guilty, as during the reckoning, those two essentially admitted openly without fighting.

They had already used superpowers on the President...

Possibly even frequently!!

But at this moment, to convince An Le, Sakuragi Hitomi glanced evasively and said something against her will,

"They've already turned over a new leaf... probably..."

"..."

An Le just stared straight at Sakuragi Hitomi, with an expression that seemed to be questioning, "Do you believe that yourself?"

After a long while, An Le sighed softly and abruptly said,

"Vice President Sakuragi, I also know Xiao Huan likes the beautiful, blue sea."

"..."

"Previously, he planned to visit Kobe and then return here, just to take the President to see the sea there, right?"

"...Yes."

"Moreover, throughout this journey, I've seen how you've been caring for others. I think you are a kind person, which is why I chose to trust you."

"Kind person..."

Listening to the compliment, Sakuragi Hitomi was slightly stunned, but soon sneered self-mockingly,

"If icy Sakuragi heard your compliment, she'd probably scold me angrily."

"Icy... Sakuragi?"

"Ah, that's the 'former me' created by the superpower; she's not really a good person."

Sakuragi Hitomi smiled slightly and looked at An Le,

"Or maybe not even long ago, I wasn't a good person either... because... I... I actually can't help but want to... spy on people I care about... like the President, for instance..."
