When Tenku ran into Kirika, he bowed slightly to her and quickened his steps to get away from her as soon as possible. But his footsteps stopped because the girl suddenly spoke to him.

"Ooh, aren't you the student on the school grounds I appointed as my guide?" Kirika spoke and pretended not to know Tenku.

"You are..." The middle-aged woman with glasses recognized Tenku when she saw his face. She is Kirika's manager, and her name is Fumiko Maeda.

"We meet again." Tenku said to Fumiko and lowered his head.

"Aren't you the person we met a week ago? Did you know Kirika and you lied to us by giving the wrong direction back then?" The handsome young man said coldly and slowly approached Tenku.

He is a famous actor, and his name is Akihiko Takayama. He came to Suisei High School after learning that Kirika would perform there. Akihiko is one of Kirika's suitors and can't tolerate another man getting close to him. First Satoru and now Tenku. The students at the school annoyed him.

On the other hand, Fumiko also had the same thoughts as Akihiko. She suspected Tenku already knew Kirika and deliberately hid the girl from them. Because of this, Fumiko and Akihiko could not find Kirika before another party contacted her and asked her to accept the offer to perform at Suisei High School.

"I know about Kirika Miyazaki because she is a famous idol, but we don't know each other as you think. So there's no reason for me to lie to you." Tenku replied calmly.

"Is that so?" Akihiko stood in front of Tenku and released the pressure on him.

Tenku felt a sense of deja vu in his current situation. He remembered that the same thing had happened when he and Setsuka visited Lake Motosu. There he met a famous actor fascinated by Setsuka. Then that person put pressure on Tenku, thinking he was Setsuka's boyfriend. What happened then is the same as what is happening now.

He could feel the affection in Akihiko's eyes for Kirika. No, it would be more appropriate to call it lust or obsession than love.

(Do all actors like to put pressure on others to impress the women they like?)

Tenku sighed when he thought about that. He wanted to reply to Akihiko's words, but a voice sounded beside him.

"Urgh... Big brother..." Kohana groaned, and her body trembled while holding his hand tighter.

Tenku had forgotten that he was with Kohana now. Akihiko's pressure would not sway him, but it was different for that little girl. She was weak and had no strength because she wasn't old enough to awaken her Phantasmal Object with the Phantasm Altar. Because of that, Kohana was in pain under Akihiko's coercion.

When Tenku saw Kohana's pale face, his eyes turned cold. Then a terrifying killing intent overflowed from his body, covering the entire school building.

Kirika noticed that Tenku's mood had suddenly changed, and she felt a sense of danger from him. She intended to stop Akihiko, but it was too late.

"Argh!"

"Ugh!"

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Everyone in front of Tenku knelt from the coercion he released, except for Kohana. The little girl had improved because the force of the tenku negated the pressure she felt from Akihiko.

On the other hand, Kirika, Akihiko, and the others felt hundreds of tons of weight crush their bodies. They couldn't move an inch and had difficulty speaking under pressure. Apart from them, everyone else inside the school building also felt the same way. Only a few people could withstand that coercion; one of them was the principal of Suisei High School.

Meanwhile, Setsuka returns to work helping the maids at the cafe. The students and some visitors return to the place and hope they can get the same luck as Tenku. Unfortunately, it was only their dream because the girl had no intention of serving them.

When Setsuka delivered customer orders to the kitchen, a terrifying killing intent suddenly flooded the place. The customers and maids collapsed and had difficulty breathing, including Kaede.

"This is!" Setsuka was familiar with that coercion because she had felt it from Tenku when a man approached her at Lake Motosu.

She released her Phantasmal Object and used her strength to resist the pressure. After Setsuka managed to stand up, she walked out of the cafe.

"Where are you going, Setsuka!?" Kaede shouted in worry. She didn't know where the pressure was coming from. But Kaede was sure that the person who released it must be powerful, and they were not her opponent. If Setsuka met that person, then it would be dangerous for her.

"I want to check the situation. You don't need to worry." Setsuka answered before exiting the cafe.

"Wait, Sesuka!" Kaede quickly manifested her Phantasmal Object and managed to stand up. She tried to walk and chase after Setsuka, but she couldn't even move her legs.

Kaede was nowhere near the center of the coercion, but it still greatly affected her movements. She could not imagine how strong the person was and how that person could possess such thick killing intent.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"I have to catch up with Setsuka!" Kaede gritted her teeth and forced herself to move. She dragged her feet with full strength and managed to leave that place.

At the same time, Setsuka continued to follow the origin of that coercion. Luckily, it wasn't far from her maid cafe. When Setsuka arrived, she was surprised to see Kirika and the others kneeling before a student and a little girl.

"What are you doing?" Setsuka squeezed out her voice and shouted. After that, the coercion in the entire building suddenly disappeared.

Setsuka let out a sigh of relief after the pressure disappeared. She wiped the sweat off her face and approached Tenku.

"Sister..." Kohana turned around and subconsciously called out to him. Setsuka quickly stopped with her gaze. The little girl promptly covered her tiny mouth with both hands.

"What happened here?" Setsuka looked at the people and then stopped at Tenku.

"I don't know. They suddenly knelt while we were talking. Strangely, my little sister and I didn't feel anything. I think this has something to do with my Phantasmal Object being able to resist external coercion." Tenku explained and stroked Kohana's hair. The little girl nodded in response to his words.

Kirika's lips twitched when she heard that. She was sure the killing intent was released from Tenku. Kirika could see a bloody aura from his body due to her Phantasmal Object ability being related to souls. Besides, she had felt it when Tenku threatened her a week ago.

Kirika was sure that Setsuka must be able to feel it since she was the daughter of the current head of Fuyushima Temple. So Tenku's words won't be able to deceive her.

"I see. I saw a high-level Realizer outside the school building, and he suddenly released his power, but I still don't know why. When I wanted to approach him, that person suddenly disappeared, and I couldn't find a trace of him. Unfortunately, I can't recognize his face either." Setsuka said seriously.

She knew that Tenku was trying to hide the cause of the incident because he didn't want his power to be revealed. Therefore, Setsuka helped him develop a story so others wouldn't suspect him. Her words shocked not only Kirika but also Tenku.

Setsuka knows about Tenku's true power but not the other way around. Tenku thought he had hidden his strength well from the people around him, including Setsuka. But he didn't realize that the girl had known his identity as The Reaper and dual Phantasmal Object user long ago.

So Tenku showed that kind of reaction, thinking Setsuka's words were valid. He wouldn't have thought the girl was making stories to help him.

Kirika had the same reaction as Tenku but for a different reason. She knew what Setsuka said was a lie because she felt the force released from Tenku's body. In other words, Setsuka and Tenku know each other, and that girl helps him to hide the incident.

(No wonder she stopped me when I chose that boy as my guide! It turns out they know each other! But how can the daughter from Fuyushima Temple have a relationship with an unknown male student? That means she knows his identity!)

Kirika gritted her teeth, feeling that those two had toyed with her. But she couldn't do anything about it. One is from Fuyushima Temple, and the other can kill her anytime. Kirika couldn't act recklessly in that place. She stabilized her breathing, wiped the sweat off her face, and slowly stood up.

After that, Fumiko and the other two followed suit. As they stood up, Akihiko focused on Setsuka's body after seeing her in a maid uniform because it looked so tempting. Saliva flowed from his mouth, but he quickly wiped it away. Satoru was angry when he saw this, and Kirika was disgusted by his behavior.

"I am Akihiko Takayama. I am an actor as well as a Realizer. May I know your name?" Akihiko suddenly introduced himself to Setsuka.

"I am the student council president of Suisei High School. My name is Setsuka Fuyushima." Setsuka said indifferently.

"Fuyushima!? Ah, I apologize if I have been rude to you!" Akihiko was startled when he heard Setsuka's name and quickly bowed to her. He didn't dare look at Setsuka with the lustful look he had before.

"You can go about your business and don't disturb the others. If I see you causing trouble in this school, I have the right to punish you according to the rules of the three organizations." Setsuka warned Kirika and the group. She knew Tenku and was sure he would not release such killing intent for no reason.

"Yes, President." Satoru nodded in response to Setsuka's words and then looked at Kirika.

"Then, we can continue our tour, miss Kirika. Where are you going next?" Satoru asked.

"Hmm..." Kirika pondered and didn't answer the question right away.

"Where are we going, big brother?" Kohana looked at Tenku and asked.

"We are going to the casino in class 2-B." Tenku replied gently. After that, he secretly nodded to Setsuka and left the place with Kohana.

Setsuka nodded and smiled warmly when she saw the exchange between the two, but her face darkened after hearing Kirika's words.

"We are going to the casino in class 2-B." Kirika looked at Satoru and pointed at one of the events in the handbook she was holding.
