Op Girl With Touhou System - Chapter 27

Mai didn’t know why he halted, but all she wanted to do was come back to her apartment and have a nice sleep. So, she detached herself from Eri’s grip as gently as she could before she lifted Eri through her armpits. “Okay, here you go…” She then walks closer to Chisaki, bringing a cute crying Eri in her hands.

Chisaki unconsciously took some steps back as she did that. Mai was upset about this. Didn’t he want to retain Eri? So she asked him with a flat tone, “Hey, why can’t you just come here and pick her up?” She didn’t get why he distanced himself like that.

Chisaki replied as calmly as he could, “Why don’t you just drop her right where you are, young lady! After that, I’ll pick her up!” He stopped for a second before he continued, “Also, have we met each other before?”

After Mai plopped the sobbing Eri on the ground, she walked away before she answered his question, “No, I don’t think so… Why?” She asked back.

Kai Chisaki, without his famous plaque mask and the cool fluffy jacket, appeared to be the same as an average Japanese man. Not only that, but he was also younger when she last saw him. So it actually makes sense for her to forget about him, even when he was one of her victims.

“Nothing… Anyway, Eri, could you please come over here?” Redirecting the conversation, Chisaki started calling out Eri to move closer to him.

“N-No I don’t want to!” Eri ran to Mai once more, but she stopped when she heard a thudding metallic sound from behind. She took a look back and saw Chisaki doing a dogeza on the dirty ground. Eri changed her direction as she ran back toward him. “G-Granpa! What are you doing? Please, stand up!” Said Eri while she tried to pull away Chisaki from the ground.

“No, I won’t move out from here before you agree to come home with me! You are the only one I have left, Eri! What would I do without you? I’m sorry! I promise that after this, I will allow you to go to school!” Chisaki declared while still doing the dogeza.

“No, grandpa! I’m the one who was supposed to apologize! I ran away from home just because you didn’t agree with it! I’m sorry! I’m so so sorry! I’ll go home with you, so please, stop what you’re doing!” Confessed Eri to Chisaki.

Chisaki then stood up and they both hugged each other.

While Mai was on the side, seeing this happen with her usual expressionless face. No, even if she somehow could convey her expression, it would still have the same result as what it is right now.

‘What the heck just happened? Is this some sort of family drama? Also, why did she call him grandpa?’ Mai inquired to herself. It was all just too odd for her.

[Host, I don’t know what transpired but… let’s just go back to the apartment!]

‘What a great idea, Ai-chan! I’ll do that!’ Just as she began to walk away, “W-Wait!” She heard someone exclaimed at her again. So she stopped.

‘Urghh! What is it this time…?’ Thought Mai to herself. She didn’t want to waste any more time than this.

“S-So, do you want to be my friend?” The girl named Eri asked one more time, just like previously.

‘This again? Also, didn’t I just betray you just now?’ Mai pondered to herself. But then she simply answered, “You… haven’t answered my question yet… Why do I need to be your friend?”

The girl, Eri, looked flustered for a few seconds before she finally replied, “Umm… We can play games together or do something else that was fun. Also, we could eat delicious fo-”

Before Eri could react, Mai already appeared right in front of her. Even Chisaki was startled because of how fast she goes. Mai grabbed both of her hands, and gawked at her with practically shining eyes.

“Let’s be friends…”

“R-Really?” Eri spluttered in disbelief.

“Oh wait, let me make sure first… There is an internet connection, right?” Mai shamelessly asked.

“Y-Yes!” Eri answered honestly, she really wants a friend.

“What about PCs and other consoles?” Again, her shamelessness is so high up.

“Umm, my grandpa bought tons of them for me!” Admitted Eri to that topic.

“The foods… It really tasted delicious, right?” Mai checked the truth on this once again.

“Yes! For me, they were always great! I also heard that our chef has a quirk called God’s Tounge or something…” Eri acknowledges with a face full of enchantment.

“Alright, deal…” Mai gave Eri her right hand, and Eri shook her hand cheerfully. She was really happy that she finally had a friend.

Chisaki wanted to cease their friendship right this instant because it was clear to him that the other girl was literally leeching of on his pure and innocent Eri, but he paused midway. He felt that something terrible would happen to him if he were to do that. Because of what happened ‘that time’, he began to always trust his instinct no matter what.

With that being said, they then went their separate way. Mai goes to her apartment and both Eri and Chisaki head to their yakuza base.

Just as Mai exited the alleyway, she felt that she was being observed by someone. Hence, she went inside once more and activated her Manipulation of Unconcious Mind ability so that she won’t get noticed by others and then hop toward the roof. She waited there for a while to find out if the one who spied on her earlier will enter the alley to check or not.

Mai recognized him as the badass U.A. Teacher who can nullify another person’s quirk. She didn’t know why he investigated her. Right now, she was pretty much using her fake identity.

But she’ll just care about it later. It was already past midnight, and she wanted to have a rest. So she quickly went to her apartment.

After she had arrived, she then remembered that she still had another thing to do.

‘Ai-chan… Gacha!’

[Host, I wouldn’t recommend you to do that! What if you didn’t get a good night’s sleep because of the result? Maybe you should just do it tomorrow!]

‘No, Ai-chan! I wouldn’t be able to sleep anyway if I didn’t gacha when I have the ticket!’ Mai reasoned.

[Host… Just… Don’t say I didn’t warn you…]

A rainbow light came out of the screen in front of her.

‘It… It so bright!’

When Mai saw the text screen that appeared in her view, she didn’t felt excited at all. In fact, she was feeling a little bit of dread. Why?

Mai was speechless.

“Is this… a dead flag…?”

Not only that, but there’s also another notification.

[New Ascension Quest!]

↗↘↗↘↗↘↗↘↗↘

Inside of Bakugou’s household, Katsuki Bakugou is right now, taking a piss inside of the toilet. He was awoken because of some random nightmare. After he was done with that, he stood right in front of a sink. Hence, he saw his own reflection in the mirror.

“Huh?”

He then quickly washes his face and takes a good look at the mirror once more. What he saw was his normal grumpy expression. No matter how he looks at his own reflection, it was still him, Katsuki Bakugou.

“What was that smiley face just now? Is it because I’m happy that I got accepted on U.A.?” Yeah, Bakugou received the acceptance letter from the hero highschool today. So he thought that was the reason.

“Whatever the F*CK that was, I’ll just going to continue my slumber!”

↗↘↗↘↗↘↗↘↗↘

Mai was already on her bed, and just as she was about to somehow sleep, she heard the system’s voice talking to her.

[Host, you didn’t realize it yet?]

“What is it Ai-chan?”

[That man earlier… You’re the one who shredded his arms!]

“…”

[…]

“Ai-chan, you didn’t realize it yet?”

[What is it, host? Oh-]

“That man earlier… You’re the one who ate his arms…”

[….]
