Chapter 268: The Consequences of the Incident
The entire city of Chiba seemed to have pressed the pause button.
Immediately after that, a great uproar and panic swept across the whole city.
"Of course, this would happen."
Nanako sighed, fortunately protected by her older brother, and Yoruha arrived just in time.
Otherwise, it would have been difficult for her brother to return.
But this was unavoidable.
When the Ichinose incident occurred, both her brother and herself were completely unprepared.
However, this time, with preparation and Yoruha, an uncontrollable situation was not likely to happen.
"However, some unfortunate people still died."
Nanako frowned slightly and murmured, "A bunch of foolish people, can you really defame and slander Nii-san? Even if Nii-san generously forgives you, this world will not forgive you."
"Moreover, Nii-san is not that generous; he is quite stingy!"
❀❀❀
On the other side, everyone at Sobu High School and its surroundings had moved far away to the mountains near the outskirts of the city.
When they first arrived, everyone panicked.
But Yoruha ignored all of this. Some people were injured from falling, or even had broken legs or arms. Yoruha didn't even bother to look at them.
If possible, she wanted to experience another accident and let these people die even more.
She didn't mean anything else.
She only wanted all those with ill intentions towards her Master to die.
"Yoruha... Are you Yoruha?"
The quintuplets from the Nakano family looked back at the tall, slender girl in front of them, wearing a familiar maid uniform but holding a large and terrifying scythe to confirm.
Yoruha set aside the Death Scythe, turned around, and saluted: "Sorry, the situation is urgent right now; please allow me to leave for a moment. Also, please don't worry, Master has anticipated this situation, and nothing will happen."
After saying that, Yoruha straightened her body, glanced at Mafuyu, nodded slightly, and then disappeared in an instant.
The Nakano quintuplets, Yukino, Yuigahama, etc., along with Mafuyu and Hiratsuka, were naturally different from the others.
In Yoruha's heart, as long as these people were okay, whatever happened to others would be fine.
Next, Yoruha forcibly brought the Demon back to the oddity again.
With the demon's departure, tranquility was restored. However, the impact this time was significant.
Hiratsuka looked at the injured students and the frightened, crying girls, feeling weak in her heart.
Don't talk about them; even she felt her heart racing and her legs slightly weak.
The figure resembling a terrifying demon made people's hair stand on end, and their souls trembled just by seeing it.
It was like a horrific illusion that suddenly became reality.
The feeling of fear was indescribable.
"Sigh~"
Hiratsuka sighed and looked at the ruins of Sobu High School, which had turned into a patch of brown earth.
"Is this what he experienced before?"
"Mm~"
Mafuyu nodded lightly, holding her phone tightly, and gently comforted, "Shizuka, don't worry, if Yoruha says it's okay, then nothing will happen."
"I'm fine."
Hiratsuka shook her head. She wasn't that fragile yet. Although she still felt fear, more importantly, she felt a deep sense of helplessness.
As a teacher, she could only watch as some people were injured and died. This was undoubtedly a very heavy blow for her.
She fell silent for a moment and sighed: "Mafuyu, something like this will have to happen again in the future, right?"
"..."
Mafuyu hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.
Although Haruto always said it was okay, he was not an idiot. Of course, he knew he didn't want her to worry.
Moreover, Yoruha did not understand what lies were. She would just ask and answer. So, Mafuyu actually knew a lot, and she also knew that situations like this could not be considered normal in the future, but certainly not less.
However, saying that would only make people worry, so Mafuyu didn't say it directly, but instead gave Hiratsuka a vaccination.
Hiratsuka knew she could no longer see the world directly, and she no longer felt safe in her heart.
Not just her.
Perhaps most people should feel this way.
Just like the Nakano quintuplets, the five sisters were gathered at this moment, with anxiety on their faces.
There was also Yukino, who was always calm and composed. Although she pretended to be calm and continuously comforted Yuigahama, Hiratsuka was still very aware of Yukino's hidden anxiety.
There were also Hikigaya, Miura, Ayaka.
Small groups gathered to comfort each other, pulling out their phones, making and answering calls.
They knew nothing, so facing this sudden situation at this moment would only make them more frightened.
Hiratsuka finally understood why Mafuyu cared so much about Haruto and would become anxious if he didn't send a message for an hour.
What an incredible sense of security!
"Hiratsuka-sensei, Kirisu-sensei, arrange for everyone to evacuate now."
"Mafuyu, let's go."
"Mm."
After descending the mountain, everyone dispersed.
As they passed the intersection, Nino paused for a moment and said, "Ichika, you all go back first. I have something to do, so I will come back later."
"Eh?"
"Nino, what are you going to do?"
Seeing her sisters looking at her, Nino turned her face away, tidied her hair, and said nonchalantly: "It's nothing, I just want to meet my friends. Besides, they're scared too, and they look really bad~"
"Is that so~"
Ichika blinked and slightly raised the corners of her mouth: "But I'm not planning to go back now, because Kuromori-kun hasn't replied to my message, so I want to go see him. Nino, please be careful on the road."
Nino: "😐"
Ichika was clearly doing it on purpose!
Yotsuba raised her hand: "I also want to find Kuromori-san."
Miku glanced at Nino and said, "I want to go too."
Nino's thoughts complained, and everyone knew it.
What if she went to meet her friends?
If she wanted to meet her friends, she would have gone there a long time ago.
Bringing it up now clearly meant she wanted to sneak away to find Haruto.
Itsuki didn't think too much about it. She looked at Nino and said, "Then let's go meet Kuromori-kun first. Nino, remember to come back early."
"Wait, I'm going too."
"Eh?"
Itsuki's ahoge twitched slightly, and she said in surprise: "Nino, aren't you going to meet your friends?"
Realizing Ichika and Miku's gazes, Nino placed her hands on her hips and hummed softly: "Since you both want to go, why don't we go together and meet my friends later?"
Since she couldn't sneak away alone, let's go together.
It was impossible not to go.
Haruto hadn't come out; something must be wrong, right?
Even though Yoruha said it was okay, Nino still worried. Not just her, but they might feel the same.
Nino glanced at them, then turned around, slightly pouting her lips, then raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Let's go together; no one is afraid of anyone!
