Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki

On the empty, soft beach, a pitch-black rift suddenly appeared in the sand.

Immediately afterward, a man dressed in casual clothes, with the appearance of a god and exuding an air of nobility, walked out unceremoniously.

Looking at the scene before him, the man's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he began to speak to himself in a joking tone.

"What's this, Izayoi, trying to give me a vacation right from the start?"

Sunlight, beaches, and cacti.

This island, so full of southern charm, really made it hard not to think that way, even though Makoto Haramura knew that such a thing was definitely impossible.

"The teleportation location is random; it's not impossible to teleport you into space next time."

Izayoi's scoffing voice echoed in Makoto Haramura's mind.

That's right, Makoto Haramura's journey had begun again.

After resolving all the problems in Academy City, Makoto Haramura left that city once again.

Under Izayoi's guidance, he arrived here.

"But I really have to say, this teleportation location is obviously not great, Izayoi."

"It's obviously a deserted island; I wonder if there's anyone on it."

It wasn't hard to tell this.

First of all, there were scattered houses near the beach.

Judging from the degree of decay, the houses had been abandoned for at least ten years.

If this were on the mainland, it would be one thing, but this was clearly an island, and the quality of this beach was very high.

Whether from the perspective of land use or tourism, this beach couldn't possibly be abandoned like this.

At least when he landed in a new world, he would appear in a city.

He could just find a communication device, get some books to read, and learn about the general situation of the world.

"That's for you to consider."

Izayoi looked like it was none of her business.

"Besides, what makes you say there's no one on this island? At least according to my senses, there are quite a few living beings."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Even so, what can I do? I'm not like Misaki, who can search the enemy's brain."

"This situation is obviously not suitable for interrogation either."

Makoto Haramura sighed softly.

This was what he found inconvenient every time he went to a new world.

No identity, no money, and no knowledge.

The triple threat.

If Misaki Shokuhou's ability could be used in another world, it would really be the most convenient.

Rewriting memories, controlling staff to create an identity, getting a bank card to earn some money—it would be too convenient.

"In the end, it would be great if you could just give me some basic information about this world."

"The great Star Spirit, the center of the Little Garden, surely the great Izayoi wouldn't be unable to do something like that, would she, would she?"

"…"

"Stop being sarcastic with me."

Izayoi, existing in Makoto Haramura's mental world, was speechless for a moment, pursing her lips.

"Alright, alright, I get it."

"I can't go back in time in this world right now, but you can choose someone yourself later."

"I'll help you extract her memories."

"Extract information that is useful to you."

"Snap—!"

"I've been waiting for you to say that, great Izayoi."

A smile bloomed on Makoto Haramura's face, which could be considered a tacit understanding.

Then, Makoto Haramura locked his gaze on a location southeast of him.

"Then I'll go choose a target."

"In any case, since they are beings with magical power, they should have a basic understanding of this world."

…

Outside was a dilapidated cave that had been weathered by the years, while inside were smooth walls and exquisitely crafted stone chambers.

Unlike the interiors of other ruins, the walls here did not have murals or messages proving the history of the underground chamber.

However, the stone walls emitted a faint light, so the entire stone chamber not only lacked any gloomy atmosphere but also had a sacred and solemn feeling.

Now, here, a group of people with flashlights came to this place.

Leading the way was a middle-aged man.

But he wasn't the greasy middle-aged man type; instead, he was very charming and popular with some little girls who had unique interests.

A pure black, slim-fitting trench coat, a close-fitting suit outlining his well-trained body, and sharp black short hair with natural white at the temples.

Behind him was a young Caucasian woman wearing an indigo suit neatly, who seemed to have some looks.

However, these looks were also concealed by her current disheveled state.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing about her was the metal bracelet on her wrist, which was clearly a size larger than a watch.

Behind that woman were a brother and sister who looked quite similar.

The siblings were not very old.

The older boy was about eleven or twelve years old, with short silver-wolf-like hair, a tense expression, and a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

The younger girl was one or two years younger than the boy.

She had long black hair and bright eyes and was a very cute girl.

Of course, none of this mattered; what mattered was that the girl was wearing a Japanese shrine maiden outfit.

An underground ruin plus a shrine maiden.

It was hard not to associate these two together with other things.

"This is the entrance to the location where you can enter the 'Fairy Coffin'."

It was the door to a stone chamber that looked extremely solemn.

But it was also a door that looked extremely simple.

"It's this door that has trapped us here for so long; neither technology nor magical techniques have worked."

"Neither research experts nor magic technicians have been able to do anything."

Looking at the door in front of him, Kojo Akatsuki said with a toothache.

It was precisely because there had been no solution that he reluctantly brought his daughter from the Demon District.

"Is it really that solid?"

The boy was a little curious and wanted to go forward to see what was going on.

But Kojo Akatsuki directly grabbed the boy.

"Don't mess around here; didn't you see that Nagisa has already started?"

"Protect Nagisa for me later."

After throwing the boy back, Kojo Akatsuki pointed to the girl who had been silent since just now.

"Bringing your daughter to such a dangerous place and having your son protect your daughter—no wonder Mom divorced you."

Kojo Akatsuki rubbed his shoulders while complaining.

But he still focused all his attention on his sister.

Wasn't there nothing to complain about?

This rotten old man of his had always been like this; wasn't it precisely because he couldn't stop worrying about this rotten old man that he insisted on coming along to take care of Nagisa?

At this moment, an incredible, mysterious aura suddenly rose from Nagisa's body.

"Zing—!"

A faint white halo slowly emerged from Nagisa Akatsuki's body.

Kojo Akatsuki's pupils instantly widened.

In this world, there were spiritists called mediums; in other words, they were shrine maidens.

The ability they possessed was also, as the name implied, spiritual communication.

They were able to communicate with many thoughts, souls, and substances that did not exist in this world.

Nagisa Akatsuki was such a spiritist.

At the same time, she was also an over-adaptation ability user.

The so-called over-adaptation ability user refers to someone who does not rely on magic, is different from demons, and is also different from spiritists with special skills—someone who is born with a special ability.

In short, it is the so-called esper.

Their abilities are mostly extremely rare skills that cannot be systematized or undergo multiple changes; they are generally expressed as a single type or an ability extension based on it.

In addition, these over-adaptation ability users are mostly inherited from their families; if one of the parents is an over-adaptation ability user, then their offspring have a high probability of inheriting this constitution.

Obviously, Nagisa Akatsuki was this type.

She was both a medium and inherited her mother's over-adaptation ability user constitution.

Now, Nagisa Akatsuki had entered a state of spirit possession, communicating with the spirit that built this temple ruin.

Suddenly, Nagisa Akatsuki chanted a meaningless incantation in front of the stone door.

"Buzz—!"

In the next instant, the wall that had been glowing faintly suddenly became shiny.

The stone wall became like glass, transparent, and a huge pattern resembling an electronic circuit emerged on the originally empty wall, forming a series of obscure patterns.

This was the process of the seal being lifted.

Nagisa Akatsuki communicated with the spirit of this ruin, and the spirit removed the seal of this ruin.

Immediately afterward, the solid stone door directly disappeared.

It was as if it had never existed from the beginning, disappearing without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

A straight path continuing to the depths of the underground directly appeared.

Then, a strong, biting chill came directly from inside, causing everyone present to shiver.

"Hiss—!"

Kojo Akatsuki subconsciously gasped and rubbed his arms with both hands.

Even though he lived in the Far Eastern country, where the winters were very cold, the problem was that he was only wearing a thin coat now.

How could he withstand it?

"It seems we've found the right place."

Kojo Akatsuki's eyes became sharp.

The Caucasian woman didn't say anything, but her pupils visibly became excited.
