The president of the soccer club holds the deepest grudge against the school, isn't destroying someone's dream enough to harbor such deep hatred?

"Yes, Masakazu Miyata lost both hands when he was a child playing at an amusement park and the roller coaster severed his hands. Since then he fell in love with playing soccer and wanted to use it as a way to fulfill his own value in life again… Ah, now I understand!"

Yasu smiled as she prepared the necessary supplies into a list and filled them into the file.

"Hey, do you know if the equipment room has clothes hangers and changing tents?"

"I remember there are, they are often used for soccer and baseball, but it's first come first serve… according to the order submitted on the list."

"I'll go check it out right away," I said as I stood up.

"Yeah, hurry, because it seems the sooner the better."

I stared at Yasu intensely, as if observing her carefully.

"Why are you staring at me like a pervert?"

"A pervert… how do you know so much? I just think it's really amazing, especially for a kid like you."

Impressive enough to make me admire her.

"It's just average."

"No, you remind me of a girl, she had many more troubles than you! But she was just as outstanding back then."

After responding to my gaze indifferently, we planned to leave the classroom.

"How could this be, is there really no way to escape from here?"

No matter how many times I looked, I couldn't find any omissions. While I pondered deeply, suddenly I realized a scorching gaze behind me.

When I turned around, I found Yukari standing lazily in her school uniform near the classroom's back door.

Honestly, it was such a pleasant surprise, except for Kyle, it seemed like all of us had come to this space, but Yukari seemed unimpressed.

She leaned against the boundary between the classroom and the hallway, a smile on her face that seemed to have shut off all expressions, different from her usual atmosphere.

Almost by instinct, I sensed that this should be her true nature.

She held a cold attitude towards everything, sometimes refusing to smile but still put on a false smile, she was always like that.

There was a clear difference between a fake smile and a genuine one.

Because she was afraid of revealing the temperature difference between the two, she always restrained genuine smiles and unified all smiles as fake smiles.

It was precisely because of this acute intuition that she managed to sail smoothly on until now.

However, just how much does Yukari really pay attention to my inner falseness?

Yukari's expression in my mind was always so surreal, leaving me at a loss.

Therefore, no one could see through a person who was as self-contained as Yukari, but if it was a similar type to me, Yukari was confident that she could see through the person with just a small gap…

"Is it a girl you like?"

…Absolutely not!!!

"Well, you could say that, but she doesn't seem too friendly."

In that case, I might as well take a chance, so I decided to be more straightforward.

"Yes, there is indeed a girl I like!"

"…What are you planning to do about it?" she asked with a clearly gloomy attitude.

"Well, I hope to go to a place without wars with her, living a somewhat unrealistic secluded life."

"Oh… then what are you going to do now?"

"The first step? Haha... of course, it's to develop the photos from the camera," I replied nonchalantly.

I wasn't asking you about that, but I imagine Yukari would say something like that in her heart.

After a brief silence, Yukari softly asked me, "Um... are you dating her?"

"No, not yet."

"..."

"What's wrong?"

I was getting more and more confused by Yukari's mysterious attitude, and she didn't seem to intend to continue the conversation, only subtly avoiding the topic.

"Of course, we should leave here. We can't keep lingering around here. The sooner we go back, the better, right?"

Yukari didn't want to stay here for a moment longer.

Now that we roughly knew the location of the source of evil, then...

"Let's start by investigating the soccer club!"

Yasu reminded us, yes, let's start where we decided just now.

"Wait a minute!"

Yukari seemed to know something, so when we brought up the soccer club, she was very surprised.

"The Evil Entity here is indeed related to the president of the soccer club, but not in the way you imagine."

"Really?!" Yasu and I exclaimed in unison.

The Evil Entity is a kind of vengeful spirit that inherits its grudges from its past life. Once the world loses the constraints of rules, they will become incredibly real. This feeling always makes me wonder if I'm dreaming.

I instinctively bit my lip, feeling a pang of pain, confirming that I wasn't dreaming.

So, am I now in the evil thoughts space of the Evil Entity?

If not... how to explain everything in front of me?

"The host of the Evil Entity is not male, but a purely female person..."

"What?! So...?"

I looked up at the sky, the gloomy sky where the sun was nowhere to be seen, with dark clouds churning as if about to rain at any moment.

Within a radius of just over ten meters around us, the grayness almost reached the sky, as if the air was filled with dust.

Is this... special effects from a movie spilling over here?

Also surprised at the same time as me were Yukari and Yasu, who had just climbed out of the ruins behind me, just like me, in the school ruins a moment ago and then suddenly found themselves here with someone curious.

"Now it seems there's only a square that looks quite large."

I looked very puzzled and incredulous, standing up and looking at the sky, then around, with an expression of disbelief.

But we knew we weren't alone. There were some humanoid figures wandering not far from here who didn't seem quite normal...

"It's the Evil Entity. For someone like me who often deals with this, I can recognize them at a glance. Those wandering are not ordinary humans, but low-level Evil Entities!"

The closest to us at the moment is an Evil Entity that looks like a human female. Compared to normal humans, her long hair doesn't seem too dirty, with a towering chest, slender waist, wearing a slightly darkened white shirt on top, and a beautiful pair of denim shorts below. Her figure is quite good, but unfortunately, her features are somewhat grim and her skin is already somewhat dull and cracked.

As the beauty Evil Entity wandered aimlessly around, soon after we appeared…

"Wuwuwu…"

"Oh my goodness, her voice is so disgusting,"

"Wuwuwu… Roar!"

As if sensing the smell of fresh food, she immediately rushed towards us at an incredible speed, reaching Yasi in just a few seconds.

"Ah ah ah! Big brother, save me… Huh?!"

At the moment she screamed, Yukari had already placed the sickle in her hand against the swollen chest of the Evil Entity.

At that critical moment, the sickle in Yukari's hand lightly touched the 'beauty's' body, turning it into dust dispersed in the air, disappearing without a trace.

"Ah, what a pity!" I crouched down and looked at the remaining dust on the ground with regret.

"If it weren't for those pale eyes, bruised cheeks… and drooling mouth, she would have been quite a nice beauty!"

"Yeah, if she had turned into an Evil Entity a little later, she might have seduced you first and then taken you down with no problem."

"…Uh, can you not be so hostile towards me?"

I wasn't wrong, she had a well-endowed chest and a shapely figure, that's just stating the facts.

After the Evil Entity turned to ashes, I could still vaguely see the monster's mouth constantly opening and closing, occasionally letting out beast-like roars, as if struggling.

"So now she can go back to where she belongs, right?"

"What?"

Yukari was a bit puzzled, her expression suddenly turned very cold.

"After the death of an Evil Entity, it will permanently disappear, what else did you think?"

"…"

After ensuring safety, Yasi staggered out from behind Yukari like she was drunk, ready to take a close look at the 'beauty' Evil Entity.

Her gaze was also captured by the spectacle, momentarily setting aside her confusion.

After enjoying this creepy 'beauty,' Yasi mischievously lifted the remnants of the Evil Entity's barely shattered clothes with her fingers to reveal some well-known brands.

"Wow, judging by her taste, this lady was quite popular before turning into an Evil Entity," Yasi said in a bored tone.

"Is that so…"

I was a bit speechless, as it didn't seem like useful information.

"Hey, it's true!"

Yukari, who had unexpectedly joined in, seemed to have noticed something peculiar.

"This… This powder is lingerie!"

...

"Haha… Let me see if there's anything interesting happening that could cheer me up a bit."

Far away, above the buildings that had not yet collapsed, a shadow flashed by.

...

"Come on, do it!"

"Exactly, big brother, go for it!"

Prompted by Yukari and Yasi, I actually reached out a hand, ready to flip through the ashes left by the Evil Entity for research.

"Why though, she's already dead, isn't she?"

But just as I grabbed a piece of fabric to move it aside, the powder that had been piled on the ground suddenly flew rapidly towards me as if blown by the wind.

By instinct, I sensed something was wrong and instinctively moved aside a bit, but it was too late as the powder floating in the 'wind' suddenly reversed its course and came back in an instant.

Blood gushed from my forearm, but I gritted my teeth and suppressed a scream, as a strong smell of blood spread in the air.

"Wow, big brother is bleeding!" Yasi covered her eyes and screamed.

I widened my eyes, surprised by everything happening in front of me.

"Blood!"

With all my strength, I forcefully pushed away the Evil Entity scattered like sand, and kicked her hard, sending her flying.

However, the Evil Entity, clearly not ready to give up after the failed attack, immediately dove into the cement floor beneath my feet.
