Chapter 238: My Cheat Really Is Nisan (For Alliance Leader

"I suggest we stop talking. My whole body is shaking right now, my back is cold, and I keep feeling like someone's behind me."

After a long silence, someone online finally spoke up.

The next second.

"Agreed, let's not talk about it anymore. At least not this topic."

Countless netizens agreed.

Clearly, after seeing the surveillance footage from 'Attempting to Self-Isolate to Death's' place, everyone was scared out of their wits.

Vanished into thin air, just like that, gone. Even without blood, the sheer disappearance, never to appear again, as if erased from the world in an instant—such an eerie scene, no one could bear watching it.

Who could handle this? One moment a person exists, the next they're gone.

"The 'Tight-Lipped Red Dog' disappearance case can be closed."

Director Takahashi took a drag of his cigarette, sitting dazed in the conference room. Around him, Section Chief Saito and the others were silent, looking calm, but their eyes betrayed them.

Horror, trembling, panic…

As the Supernatural Response Department, cases specifically targeting the supernatural naturally fell under their jurisdiction, and the 'Tight-Lipped Red Dog' disappearance case naturally fell under them too.

"While we're at it, let's close the 'Attempting to Self-Isolate to Death' case too, even though no report has been filed yet…"

Director Takahashi exhaled smoke, then picked up another cigarette and started smoking. At this moment, only a puff of smoke could ease his emotions. Then, as if remembering something, he quickly gave an order…

The online buzz ended under the 'death' of 'Attempting to Self-Isolate to Death'.

Perhaps afraid of being silenced, the hacker netizen who posted the surveillance footage deleted the video not long after uploading it. He was panicking—realizing that posting it like this was going against the supernatural, so he quickly deleted it to stay safe.

The bigwigs also stepped in one after another, joining forces to block the news across networks in various countries.

This kind of behavior that offended a terrifying existence was better blocked quickly. After all, the other party's silencing meant they didn't want others to know. Letting the video spread like this was like lighting a lamp in a latrine—asking for trouble.

Time flew by.

Afternoon.

Arakawa Ward, Tokyo, Japan — Apartment

"I'm home."

Kamikawa Mitsu had finished attending the school meeting and didn't linger, choosing to head home instead, because he had already booked tomorrow's plane ticket to take Kamikawa Chie to America for a trip.

"She's not back yet?"

Checking the house, Kamikawa Chie wasn't home. Kamikawa Mitsu figured she was still at the maid café playing around with Iori and the others.

Out of concern, Kamikawa Mitsu peeked into the Glass Marionette, and sure enough, he saw Kamikawa Chie at the maid café, which put his mind at ease.

Just then.

With a ding, a message came in on his phone's LINE, sent by Kamikawa Chie to Kamikawa Mitsu.

Kamikawa Chie: 【Nisan, I might come home a bit late today. I'm going to the night market with Iori and the others.】

Seeing this, Kamikawa Mitsu smiled. After replying to Kamikawa Chie's message, he subconsciously looked around the now-empty house. His gaze fell on the living room, and inexplicably, he recalled when he had returned from the Void Demon Realm not long ago.

At that time.

Kamikawa Mitsu had come back feeling uneasy.

They had agreed to live together peacefully, so how could Nisan just go and butcher a realm?

He was afraid Kamikawa Chie would be angry. In fact, the arrangement of this script had been decided by Kamikawa Mitsu after thinking about it all night. Now that the Kamikawa family's identity as the Ashinoya family had been exposed and known to everyone, Kamikawa Chie also knew about this.

Last time at dinner, Kamikawa Chie had told Kamikawa Mitsu that she used to hope the Kamikawa family was a shrine lineage, but now she didn't hope so, because she was afraid that Kamikawa Mitsu, as the Kamikawa family's only male descendant, would be taken away by the Ashinoya family's supernatural forces to fight on the Primordial Battlefield.

Moreover, that night Kamikawa Chie had a nightmare, dreaming that Kamikawa Mitsu went to the Primordial Battlefield and was ultimately killed there, dying a gruesome death.

Startled awake from the dream, Kamikawa Chie's face went pale—she was clearly terrified.

Having witnessed the horror of the Primordial Battlefield, how could Kamikawa Chie not worry? It was a terrifying battlefield where even gods and demons could fall. Kamikawa Mitsu was merely the Ashinoya family's only descendant—compared to the gods, the gap was too great. How could she not be afraid?

To prevent Kamikawa Chie from worrying that one day Kamikawa Mitsu would go to the Primordial Battlefield and die, Kamikawa Mitsu knew he could no longer hide his supernatural identity from her. He had to show her his powerful side, and it had to be powerful enough to astonish even gods and demons.

But once he truly displayed his power, revealing his strength to the world and to Kamikawa Chie, Kamikawa Mitsu became afraid again.

He was afraid Kamikawa Chie would be angry, feeling that Kamikawa Mitsu had hidden his supernatural identity from her—that was treating her as an outsider, being guarded against her.

With an uneasy heart, Kamikawa Mitsu returned home.

And when he opened the door and entered the house, Kamikawa Chie was already standing at the door early, waiting for Kamikawa Mitsu.

At that moment, the two looked at each other.

Before Kamikawa Mitsu could say "I'm home," Kamikawa Chie stepped forward, lifted her little foot and kicked Kamikawa Mitsu's shin. The force wasn't great, very light, but she just kept kicking like that, muttering as she did.

"Stinky Nisan, you lied to me. You didn't go to a friend's house, you went to hit people—no, you went to beat up a whole world. You liar. If you lie to me again, I'll kick you to death."

After the words fell.

Kamikawa Chie seemed to have kicked enough, and rubbed her little foot.

"Nisan, is your shin made of iron? You made my foot hurt. Oh right, because you said you might not come home today, I made dinner first. It's still warm now."

Kamikawa Mitsu was a bit stunned, standing there dazed.

Until Kamikawa Chie said a few more things and noticed Kamikawa Mitsu still standing there in a daze, she hurriedly stepped forward, waved her hand in front of Kamikawa Mitsu, scanned his body with a worried face, and felt him all over with her hands, checking if he was injured anywhere.

"Nisan, are you okay? Are you hurt? Where are you hurt? Don't scare me."

Hearing this, Kamikawa Mitsu finally came back to his senses. Looking at Kamikawa Chie's worried expression as she kept feeling all over his body searching for his injuries, he couldn't help but feel a warm current flowing through his heart.

"I'm fine, not hurt. Chie… aren't you angry that I hid the supernatural stuff from you?"

Kamikawa Chie let out a sigh of relief and looked up at Kamikawa Mitsu.

"I believe Nisan wouldn't deliberately hide it from me."

A simple sentence that expressed Kamikawa Chie's thoughts—she believed Kamikawa Mitsu had not told her for her own good.

Yes, at first when she saw Kamikawa Mitsu fighting the Azure King on TV, she was very shocked.

But more than that, she was worried.

Watching Kamikawa Mitsu fight the Azure King, being pushed into life-and-death peril several times, Kamikawa Chie's heart clenched, her palms and the backs of her hands drenched in sweat.

Sometimes, people are just like this — the more they care, the more flustered they get, worrying about things they worry too much about, when in truth there's no need to worry or be anxious over those things, because family won't get angry just because you hid your strength from them; even if you concealed something extraordinary, at most they'd grumble a few words, but they wouldn't truly be angry — on the contrary, they'd be happy for you that you've grown stronger.

Because they don't need you to have wealth and honor, don't need you to have a brilliant future, they only need you to be safe, healthy, and happy — that's enough.

She knew that her Nii-san Kamikawa Mitsu had hidden things from her, and it must have been for her own good, not wanting her to worry; she even felt, for a moment, that Nii-san was shouldering a very heavy burden alone — a burden that belonged to the extraordinary.

That burden was very heavy.

As Kamikawa Mitsu's little sister, what she could do wasn't complain, and she couldn't even summon any complaint — all she felt was warmth and gratitude; behind the scenes no one knew about, Nii-san was still protecting her, cherishing her.

The only thing she could do was be a good girl at ease, be a little sister who wouldn't cause Kamikawa Mitsu too much worry, who wouldn't make trouble for Kamikawa Mitsu — and she would be content.

While Kamikawa Mitsu was stunned by Kamikawa Chie's words, his heart moved, Kamikawa Chie murmured softly.

"But Nii-san, I really did guess right — you're Inuyasha."

"Hm? Chie, what did you say?" Kamikawa Mitsu, who had been immersed in Kamikawa Chie's previous words, came back to himself.

"Nothing." Kamikawa Chie took Kamikawa Mitsu's hand and walked toward the main hall, turned her head and broke into a radiant smile — arched brows, big sparkling clear eyes like the most flawless gemstones in the world, smiling like a little sprite from the moon, both sweet and lovely: "I was just saying, so my cheat really is Nii-san."

(PS: Hey hey hey hey hey, I want a little sister like that too, sniffle, where can I buy one, I want to buy a few, I can pay in full.)
