Tenya just stood there, and the crazy attacker suddenly sobered up.
At this moment, like always, the police arrived late.
Under the identification of the organizers' staff, Kento, who was the criminal suspect, was apprehended.
"Let go of me! I didn't do anything!!!" Kento cried and snot flowed, feeling terribly wronged.
"That's great, Kasumi-sensei is fine!"
"You!!! Why aren't you letting go of me yet?" Tomoya struggled desperately.
"Hmph! Kasumi-sensei is fine, but you are not!!!"
The security personnel escorted Tomoya in front of the police and made an accusation.
"I saw this kid suddenly rush towards Kasumi-sensei with malicious intent!"
Tomoya explained in a panic, "No, it's not like that...!"
"I was trying to protect Kasumi-sensei, I'm a good person!!!"
Seeing this, Kento also began to defend himself, "That's right! That's right! I'm a good person too!"
Tomoya quickly cut ties, trying to distance himself from the other party.
"You're spouting nonsense!"
"You're a black sheep, ruining the reputation of us Otaku!!!"
At this moment, a policeman said, "Captain Kousaka, we found this in the suspect's backpack..."
What they saw was a large stack of books and magazines with very questionable covers.
"Hmph! As expected, they are a group of potential criminals!"
Daisuke's face was stern, with a fierce look that seemed to despise Tomoya.
(PS: This is the Father of the male and female leads of the Oreimo or My Little Sister Can't be this Cute anime.)
"...."
Utaha originally thought Tomoya didn't look like a bad person and wanted to step forward to solve the matter, but when she saw those unbearable images, her expression immediately turned into one of looking at garbage.
"Yo! Brother, you also like Kashiwagi-sensei's books?"
"Your collection is even richer than mine, you're an expert!"
Seeing the works taken out of Tomoya's backpack, Kento immediately felt a sense of camaraderie and goodwill towards the latter.
"No, it's not..."
"I really am a good person!!!"
Tomoya wanted to cry but couldn't shed any tears.
"Hmph! Whatever you have to say, wait until we get back to the station!!!"
Daisuke waved his hand and ordered Tenko and Tomoya to be taken away for investigation.
"Young man, well done for being brave and righteous!"
After some questioning, Daisuke learned that Tenya had appeared in time to prevent the crime and offered a few words of encouragement.
"No, I just happened to be passing by. I didn't really help much." Tenya understated it.
"Is that so..."
Daisuke narrowed his eyes slightly. Having a certain position at the station, he knew some mysterious information.
He roughly had a guess in his heart, so he wisely didn't ask any more questions and led his team away.
Tenya asked, "Kasumigaoka-senpai, do you have many questions?"
Utaha asked, "Can you tell me?"
Tenya replied as he extended his hand, "No. Unless..."
"What are you doing?!"
Utaha clutched her chest vigilantly and took a few steps back.
"Let's shake hands and be friends." Tenya sincerely said.
He just wanted the treasure chest!
"Just like that?"
A hint of suspicion flashed in Utaha's eyes.
The man whose eyes first went to her black stockings...
She thought he would take the opportunity to ask her for her socks.
"Otherwise?"
"What kind of person do you think I am?"
Tenya heard her thoughts and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
"Ara~ You are unexpectedly pure."
After repeatedly confirming that Tenya really had no improper thoughts, Utaha finally felt relieved.
She reached out and shook hands, "From now on, please take care of me!"
[Ding!]
[Treasure chest holder found: Kasumigaoka Utaha]
[Extract?]
'Extract!'
[Opening SS-Rank Treasure Chest... Congratulations to the Host on obtaining Enhancement Crystal]
[Enhancement Crystal: After use, one of your abilities is randomly selected for upgrade and enhancement!]
"Goodbye."
Tenya turned around and left.
"Wait, wait a minute?!"
"You just promised me that you would tell me the whole story!"
Seeing Tenya about to walk away, Utaha suddenly became anxious.
"Ah, it seems like there was such a thing..."
"But, I don't seem to have said when I would tell you, right?"
Tenya had no intention of hiding stuff related to the supernatural world. It was just that he was too lazy to explain.
Besides, the treasure chest was already in hand, and his initial goal had been achieved, so naturally, there was no need to bother with Utaha anymore.
"You..."
"What's with this feeling of being used like a tool and then discarded?"
Utaha bit her finger and muttered with a displeased expression.
Tenya, who had left the shopping mall, activated Kamui in an unmanned corner.
Using space transfer, he instantly returned home.
[Enhancement Crystal]
Taking it out from the system, he saw that it was a colorful crystal only the size of a thumb.
"This thing looks like an item from some pay-to-win game."
"According to the system's description, it can randomly upgrade and enhance one of my abilities or skills."
Just as Tenya was figuring out how to use it, the crystal in his hand suddenly burst out with dazzling colored light.
Immediately after, it turned into a ray of starlight and instantly merged into his forehead.
"This feeling..."
He felt an incredibly vast power surging into his body like a tide.
Then that mysterious power quickly shifted, and finally all concentrated in his eyes.
Under the stimulation of the mysterious power, his eyes automatically took on the form of the Sharingan, and then transformed into the Mangekyo Sharingan...
"Dojutsu... still increasing!"
"It seems that this time, the target of the random enhancement is the Mangekyo Sharingan!"
After a brief surprise, Tenya's face showed joy.
The Mangekyo Sharingan comes with a debuff. The more it is used, the greater the side effects on the body.
Tenya possessed Tailed Beast level Chakra and the physique of the Uzumaki clan, which could minimize the impact of the side effects to the greatest extent.
But it still couldn't completely eliminate the side effects.
Every time he used the Mangekyo Sharingan, the degree of damage to his health was roughly equivalent to a normal person inhaling a pack of cigarettes' worth of nicotine.
There was no visible impact in the short term, but over the long term, it would definitely be detrimental to his health.
The evolved Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, on the other hand, didn't have the disadvantage of the Mangekyo, and using it would no longer have side effects.
He saw that in the center of the six-pointed star pattern of his Mangekyo, there was an additional black triangular, which looked even more intimidating.
However, what changed was not just the eye pattern...
First, the insight ability had risen another level compared to the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Then, the casting speed of pupil techniques like Amaterasu, Kagutsuchi, and Kamui had become faster.
At this moment...
Rikka: Tonight, the Saint Chef has been invited by a noble family to prepare a dinner party, and there are three extra invitation letters. I plan to go there. Rukia, Tenya, do you want to come? 🪄
Rukia: 🐇
Tenya: Okay! It's been a long time since I've seen Touka-san , I miss her very much.
Rikka: Calling her so affectionately... When did your relationship with the Saint Chef become so good? 👿
Tenya and Touka had actually only met once.
That was when Rikka was bullied, and the school called the parents of both sides...
Touka learned that Tenya had protected her younger sister, so she had a good first impression of him, and the two exchanged contact information.
Then, Tenya regularly sent updates on Rikka's situation at school.
In return, Touka sent him many photos.
The two communicated quite happily online.
...
At the agreed time, Tenya arrived at the venue for the dinner party.
At first glance, this place was in the city center of Chiba, with high-end residential buildings on both sides facing the river.
