“I am weak? What a… joke…”

Teru Mikami clenched his teeth, a twisted anger flashing in his eyes, completely unable to accept Mai Sakurajima's assessment of him.

Although he appeared to be a very normal, calm, and rational person, when certain things were touched upon, he would reveal the twisted side hidden within his heart.

Among them, what Teru Mikami couldn't tolerate the most was his own "justice" being denied by others.

“Huff… Huff…”

After taking a few deep breaths, Teru Mikami regained his composure, watching the hosts who were discussing the live broadcast that had just taken place in the television studio, a hint of crimson light appearing in his eyes as he muttered to himself.

“To think you had such means. I originally thought you were just a bunch of immature guys who gained power but didn't know how to use it, but now it seems… I underestimated you.”

Teru Mikami was very clear that after today's full live broadcast, everything he had done in court that day, including his future actions, would hardly have any negative impact on "Mask" and the others.

The words they said in front of the camera were secondary; the key point was the terrifying monster that appeared on the sea, resembling an octopus, which was annihilated by the "Mask" group.

This saved the lives of thousands of people, and it was all in front of the television cameras.

In this case, who would believe that "Mask" and the others, who had once again saved the lives of countless innocent people, would be reckless people who only cared about their own wishes and didn't care about the lives of ordinary people?

“Clearly possessing such abilities, yet choosing such a method, you… are truly ruthless.”

Teru Mikami looked at the photo displayed in the television studio, with "Mask" at the head, a thoughtful look on his face.

As a messenger of God, a person who would bring change to this world, he had naturally investigated all of "Mask's" actions, of course, on the premise that they were public information that could be obtained without special collection. After all, now it seems that L is also in the other party's camp, and if he leaves some kind of trace that can track him, it will be all over.

Teru Mikami has a very good mind. Through the Kyoto Tower incident, he has already analyzed that "Mask" possesses some kind of special ability, like a barrier. The specific effect is not clear, but roughly guessing, it should be the ability to separate enemies from the real world according to his own will?

With this kind of ability, when that evil spirit monster appeared on the sea today, the other party did not choose to use it.

Is it because he couldn't do it?

Teru Mikami didn't think so. After all, judging from recent news, "Mask" should have rested for a long time after the last truly dangerous battle.

If that's the case, then there is only one possibility.

Not that he can't, but that he doesn't want to.

As for the purpose…

Naturally, it was to let everyone in front of the TV see how he once again saved the world in the face of a bizarre existence, continuing to maintain the public's faith in himself.

In the face of the lives of thousands of innocent people, choosing this risky method, Teru Mikami felt that his original judgment of "Mask" was completely wrong.

The other party is not so naive as to want to play the role of a hero, and even less likely to have a Virgin Mary heart overflowing, choosing to sacrifice himself for the people's sake.

Teru Mikami realized that until now, he had not found the weakness of this "Mask".

And he also didn't forget that during the live broadcast just now, the other party's assistant said something.

The identity of the culprit in the court case has been found, and it will soon appear in the news.

These words were like a sword hanging over Teru Mikami's head, making him feel a little nervous.

Although he was mentally prepared for his identity to be exposed, he couldn't understand the reason. Clearly, he came from another world line, and except for Light Yagami and L, the rest of the spiritual power users had not seen him. He and Misa Amane also possessed the characteristic of not being able to be "recorded".

Why on earth?

Why would his identity be exposed?

This incomprehensible thing caused Teru Mikami to experience a very unfamiliar emotion.

He… was scared.

… …

Later that day.

“Congratulations, congratulations.”

Yozora sat on the sofa, looking lazy and resigned, smiling as he spoke.

“Congratulations on the successful conclusion of today's plan. As for those fanatical believers who wanted to carry out live sacrifices and participated in the disappearance case, Ryuzaki will contact the Okinawa Prefectural Police to arrest them, which is not something we need to consider.”

“You're so happy, not because it ended successfully, right?”

Rio Futaba saw through Yozora's true thoughts at a glance, pursing her lips and complaining speechlessly.

“What you're really happy about is that you completely slacked off today. Apart from killing those few priests, you didn't do much at all, and in the end, you still got to eat seafood, right?”

“What, do you have a problem with that?”

Yozora said matter-of-factly: “I've raised so many people in Kyoto for so many years, is it wrong for you guys to feed me some seafood? Besides, you guys handled it pretty well even without me.”

“That's true.”

Rio Futaba nodded slightly, looking at Yukino Yukinoshita and Saki Kawasaki, who were sitting there, looking very tired, pushed her glasses, picked up the black coffee on the table, and said lightly.

“Although we can't fight continuously and need to rest for a while, this operation has indeed proved that even without Yozora, we can eliminate powerful evil spirits.”

“Eh? We can't be without him.”

Hearing Yui Yuigahama's words, noticing the other party's nervous expression, Rio Futaba couldn't help but roll her eyes.

“What I mean is that everyone's strength has improved. I didn't say that we won't bring him along for future operations. Isn't it also to save you from feeling sorry for him if he saves some strength?”

Yui Yuigahama's pretty face blushed upon hearing this, and she muttered softly.

“I… I didn't feel sorry for him… I just thought that if he was there, everyone would feel more at ease…”

“Stop talking, love brain.”

“Aren't you?”

“I…”

Just then, Yozora's phone suddenly rang. After answering, Koiga Tomoe's slightly annoyed voice came from the other end.

“Hey, Senior, you said you were going to tell me the truth today, why haven't you contacted me all this time?”

“Do you want to know the truth, or are you just making an excuse to see me?”

“This… I…”

Faced with Yozora's straightforward words, Koiga Tomoe was so shy that she didn't know how to respond for a while, stammering for a long time before covering up her shyness with anger.

“I... Since you promised me, you have to do it. I'll send you the location. I'll go and wait for you first. You have to come!”

With just one sentence, Ye Xing shattered Koga Tomoe's defenses once again.

“Where should we meet? A hotel?”

“You... Go to hell, you perverted senior!”

Koga Tomoe hung up the phone in exasperation, but a few seconds later, she honestly sent Ye Xing the location of the cafe she was in.

“Going to see that junior again?”

Hearing Sakurajima Mai's slightly jealous words, Ye Xing replied with righteous indignation.

“Mai-senpai, you need to broaden your mind a little. Koga Tomoe's ability is very unique. If we can make use of it, it would be an extra layer of insurance in case Miko can't use time regression. Of course, I don't need that kind of insurance myself. I'm going to see her for your safety. It's all for my beloved you.”

Chapter 492: The True Meaning of the Super-Measurement Club, Psychological Counselor Yukino

Sakurajima Mai was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then a look of guilt appeared on her face as she apologized.

“What you said... sounds like it makes sense... I misunderstood you. I'm sorry.”

“Mai, you didn't misunderstand.”

Among the members present, only Touma Kazusa saw through Ye Xing's true thoughts at a glance. She flipped her long black hair and said unhappily.

“This guy is PUA-ing you. Don't fall for it.”

Yurigawa Hana looked shocked when she heard this.

“Eh? Is that so?”

Touma Kazusa nodded slightly and said in a calm tone.

“Yes, that's right.”

“I see...”

Yurigawa Hana drew out her words and finally asked an amazing question that made even the usually expressionless and indifferent Touma Kazusa show a speechless expression.

“By the way, what is PUA? Is it something edible?”

Touma Kazusa took out a piece of candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and fed it to Yurigawa Hana's mouth, sighing.

“You should just keep eating.”

Yurigawa Hana nodded blankly and opened her lips to accept the candy that Touma Kazusa handed over.

“Oh, okay.”

As long as there was something to eat, Yurigawa Hana didn't care about anything else.

“Snow-under classmate.”

Hearing Ye Xing suddenly call her name, Yukinoshita Yukino came back to her senses belatedly, raised her head, and said somewhat blankly.

“Huh? I don't object to you seeing that Koga Tomoe classmate.”

“What are you objecting to?”

Ye Xing shook his head with a smile and said bluntly.

“It's one thing for Mai to object, but why are you taking the initiative to say that you don't object? You can't object anyway.”

“This...”

Yukinoshita Yukino's pretty face flushed red, and she realized that she had accidentally said what was on her mind.

Yes, from what standpoint and in what capacity could she object?

She was not Sakurajima Mai, Futaba Rio, Yotsuya Miko, Yuigahama Yui, or Touma Kazusa. She simply had no right to object.

Although she thought so in her heart, Yukinoshita Yukino still chose to continue being stubborn on the surface.

“What I mean is, as a staff member of the club, I don't object to you seeing Koga Tomoe classmate. After all, she has experienced such terrible things and possesses such a special ability. If, as you said, this power can be used, it can indeed bring us a lot of help, but...”

Speaking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino paused for a few seconds, looked at the expressions of the members present, and then continued.

“I don't object to you seeing her, but if I remember correctly, puberty syndrome is a strange disease that is caused by some serious psychological problems. For example, Mai-senpai in the past was caught in some kind of self-destructive obsession. In the end, it is still a mental illness. If we want to use Koga Tomoe classmate's ability to reset the day and deliberately let her psychological illness go unchecked... I don't think that's a good thing.”

After Yukinoshita Yukino finished speaking, although she still maintained a calm expression, she felt a little nervous in her heart.

明明有这么逆天的能力,却因为考虑到对方心理健康的问题,而不去使用?

Yukinoshita Yukino originally thought that her childish and almost naive idea would be ridiculed by everyone, but she didn't expect...

“I agree with Yukino's opinion.”

Sakurajima Mai spoke first, seemingly recalling her own experience with puberty syndrome, and said softly with some empathy.

“I was in a state of confusion and pain during that time. Koga Tomoe classmate... shouldn't have to experience that kind of pain. To use her ability and ignore her, treating her as a tool... that's not our style either.”

“I also agree with Yukino-chan's opinion.”

Yuigahama Yui continued.

“辉夜和麻衣学姐,以前都患上过青春期综合症,古贺同学的能力确实很有价值,但连她自己都无法完全掌握的能力,真的是一件好事吗?

If I were to use her as a tool... I can't do it.”

“Me too.”

Touma Kazusa, who usually didn't speak much during discussions, and who usually took the attitude of doing whatever Ye Xing said, actually showed a very clear attitude at this time.

“People... should not be used as tools, even if they have so-called talents... Everyone is an independent individual.”

Obviously, Touma Kazusa also felt empathy for this topic.

From childhood to adulthood, in elementary school, middle school, and even during the period before she joined the Super-Measurement Club in the first year of high school, she was treated as a maverick piano prodigy. It seemed that the only important thing about her was her piano talent, and everything else didn't matter.

It was precisely because of this that Touma Kazusa extremely hated this approach.

Koga Tomoe does have a unique ability, but to treat her as a tool to start the world reset... none of the members of the Super-Measurement Club can accept such a thing.

“Oh, I see.”

Hearing everyone's remarks, Ye Xing just showed a smile.

“In that case, let Yukinoshita classmate go with me, and then after this school trip is over, we can start thinking of ways to cure Koga Tomoe's puberty syndrome.”

“Eh? You're not planning to use her ability? Then why are you...”
