After a luxurious meal, Ryuto and the others were sent back to their hotel by the other party in a private car.

"Well then, I shall take my leave for today."

"Ah, thank you very much."

"No, we should be the ones thanking you. I'll take my leave then."

After bowing, Kurepi Sucreia got into the car and it quickly disappeared into the dark streets.

"Ah, feeling so full, let's go back and sleep."

Muttering to himself, Ryuto prepared to enter the hotel, but...

"Wait for me, you idiot brother."

Asuka's cold voice came from behind.

"What's up? I'm really tired today."

Annoyed, Ryuto turned around, but...

"Ugh..."

Seeing Asuka's fierce expression.

"Oh... Miss Asuka, how may I help you?"

Ryuto quickly changed his tune.

“Answer honestly, what were you doing this afternoon?”

“This afternoon?”

“Ah, ah, does Brother Amagi want to play dumb? Although you claimed to have returned directly to the hotel at that time, it seems that may not be the case."

For some reason, Arashikaze Manami, who was nearby, also wore a scary smile.

“Well... it's nothing, really.”

Ryuto quickly shifted his gaze to the side, um...

That gaze was so terrifying...

"Actually, didn't you save the Holy Heir?"

Katsuragi Reimi chimed in.

“Well, while that is indeed true, but...”

Seeing Ryuto hesitate, Asuka brought her terrifying face closer.

"So why do you still claim not to know, you idiot brother?"

...It's so close, and so scary, it was already scary enough, and it looks even scarier up close, could the effect of this thing also depend on the distance?

“No... I just didn't remember it at that moment, after all, Asuka must also understand, I have a very poor memory.”

Ryuto awkwardly turned his face away. If he didn't, he felt like he would suffocate.

“Oh... is that so? Then think carefully now before you respond, aside from that, is there nothing else?”

“Nothing.”

Ryuto firmly answered.

However, Asuka seemed to remain skeptical, just looking at him with suspicion in her eyes.

"Really?"

"Absolutely, I assure you, there is nothing more trustworthy in this world than what I just said."

“Even if the idiot brother says so, it's still hard to believe.”

"Um..."

Ryuto suddenly shouted.

“Am I really that untrustworthy? Not even my dearest sister believes me.”

With that, Ryuto dropped to his knees directly.

“Huh?”

This sudden action startled Asuka.

“Hey, what are you doing, you idiot brother?”

However.

“Ah, no matter what you say, no one believes me. There's nothing sadder than that in this world.”

Ryuto ignored her words completely.

"Hey, everyone is watching, what are you doing, you idiot brother? Get up quickly."

Just as Asuka said, when Ryuto suddenly shouted like this, nearby pedestrians all turned their eyes towards him.

However, for Ryuto, who had long lost his sense of shame, such a trivial matter was completely insignificant. Instead,

"Ah, what's the point of being alive anyway."

He continued to yell loudly.

And the final words were even more emphatic.

"Rather than living like this, I might as well just die."

With that, Ryuto threw his head down towards the ground.
