Chapter 1023

In a single day, her life had completely changed.

Not only was her father saved, she had also gained the true Evil King True Eye, capable of seeing through falsehood, dividing space, and freezing time—truly awesome.

Of course, this ability could only be used within the Small Thousand World she inhabited.

Her cultivation was still too shallow; attempting to wield such divine abilities in the Middle Thousand or Great Qian Worlds would be utterly beyond her endurance.

Still, this was already enough.

She wasn't really trying to be invincible—she just thought it was fun.

"Brother-in-law is really amazing!"

Thinking of the Evil King True Eye, she couldn't help but think of her brother-in-law.

Her own brother-in-law wasn't only strong beyond measure, he was also good-looking—simply every maiden's dream lover.

"It's just a pity he's already my brother-in-law, otherwise.

Thinking of this, Kotori / Yotsuya Rikka's little face flushed red, and she hurriedly flung the thought from her mind.

Even for a Sakura person (ajcg), this sort of thing was going too far.

The other classmates, seeing Kotori / Yotsuya Rikka sitting there with her expression shifting and her head shaking, knew she was a chuunibyou, and couldn't help but keep a little more distance.

"Kotori / Yotsuya-san really is, doesn't she care at all?"

Nibuya Morika glanced at Rikka, then quickly looked away, afraid of getting involved with her.

Chuunibyou was too terrifying.

Being in the chuunibyou period was nothing, but once you graduated from chuunibyou and recalled your chuunibyou actions and words, it was so awkward you could claw out a grand villa with your toes.

Ah.

Just imagining her own chuunibyou period, Nibuya Morika felt a chill run through her, as if goosebumps had erupted all over her body.

"Too terrifying—I absolutely must not be exposed!"

Just as she was thinking this, she felt a scorching gaze fall upon her.

"Fellow kind!"

The next instant, the entire classroom fell silent.

Nibuya Morika was horrified to discover that everyone in the classroom had stopped moving—even the tiny insects in the air had frozen in place, as if time itself had halted.

"This is time stop!"

Nibuya Morika's expression changed. "There really is time stop!"

She had seen this kind of ability too, but only in some unspeakable films and comics.

Once it appeared, the heroine was in for trouble.

Just thinking of this, Nibuya was afraid.

She didn't want to become that kind of heroine!

Just as she was thinking this, she heard footsteps. Nibuya Morika looked toward the sound and saw Kotori / Yotsuya Rikka striding over briskly, a golden light gleaming in one eye, radiating an intimidating aura.

"You must be my fellow kind, right!"

Kotori / Yotsuya Rikka looked at Nibuya Morika curiously.

"Fellow kind?"

"What fellow kind?"

Seeing that Kotori / Yotsuya Rikka could move, Nibuya Morika guessed she must be a wielder of supernatural power, and felt a measure of relief.

"I don't have any supernatural power.

Kotori / Yotsuya Rikka shook her head: "I mean, chuunibyou!"

"Chuunibyou?"

Nibuya Morika's face changed, and she hurriedly denied it: "I'm not a chuunibyou!"

"Hmph, you can't fool the Evil King True Eye." Kotori / Yotsuya Rikka hmmphed proudly. "The Evil King True Eye has the power to see through falsehood—you can't lie your way past it."

Seeing through falsehood naturally wasn't limited to seeing through illusions; it also included false words.

"You—" Nibuya Morika was speechless. "You use supernatural power for this kind of thing? Also, they're frozen—will they be alright?"

"Of course not, it's just time being stopped. In a bit, it'll recover.

Kotori / Yotsuya Rikka didn't care at all. "Come, join the Evil King True Eye family. If there's a chance, I can have my brother-in-law give you a supernatural power too."

"Brother-in-law?"

"Supernatural power?"

"Could it be that your power was given by your brother-in-law?"

Kotori / Yotsuya Rikka nodded: "Mm. Brother-in-law is the most powerful deity—just a wave of his hand, and he bestowed the Evil King True Eye upon me."

"That's terrifying." Nibuya Morika was shocked. "Just a wave of his hand, and he bestowed the power to stop time?"

"Of course." Kotori / Yotsuya Rikka was very proud, and issued the invitation once more.

Hearing this, Nibuya Morika immediately felt her blood burning.

Her chuunibyou soul could barely hold back.

"Let's talk at noon."

Taking a deep breath, Nibuya Morika barely suppressed the thought in her heart and said calmly.

Kotori / Yotsuya Rikka didn't press the matter, and nodded: "Then noon, on the rooftop."

Returning to her seat, the golden light in her eyes faded.

The next instant, time in the classroom began to flow again, and the students' laughter and chatter rose up, as if everything just now had been an illusion.

Apart from Nibuya Morika, no one else felt a thing.

Looking toward Kotori / Yotsuya Rikka, she saw her blink, confirming that what had happened was real.

Noon.

Terrace.

Nishiyama Miki found Kotori/Utsubo Rokka and was about to speak when Kotori/Utsubo Rokka suddenly produced a bento box out of thin air.

"Is that also your superpower?"

Nishiyama Miki stared in shock.

Kotori/Utsubo Rokka shook her head and raised one finger, on which rested an elegant ring: "No. This is a space ring—I stored the bento inside it."

"You even have a divine artifact?"

"Divine artifact?" Kotori/Utsubo Rokka shook her head. "It's just an ordinary thing. My brother-in-law created dozens with a wave of his hand. How about it? Want to join?"

"Yes."

Nishiyama Miki's eyes burned with eagerness; she could no longer hold back.
