Chapter 1054

~5 min read 960 words

Higurashi Ririko: "......"

If earlier it might have been technology, then now, with just a single glance, she had hypnotized the entire room—what was this? Kasumigaoka Utaha rose calmly, turned, and nodded to Su Han and the others.

"...... Wait! You stupid woman, what are you doing?"

Higurashi Ririko instantly bristled.

She had just been wondering whether she, like the surrounding... otaku, was pretending not to see Su Han.

But at this moment, her plan was completely shattered by Kasumigaoka Utaha.

The group before them was clearly not to be trifled with.

If this group truly controlled supernatural powers,

then based on the hypnotized state of the surroundings and the fact she had never heard of such things in society, she could conclude that supernatural powers must follow a principle of seclusion.

Under these circumstances, if you stepped forward and exposed yourself, how could you possibly come out unscathed? "Didn't I tell you?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha slightly raised her brow, then smiled at Higurashi Ririko with a knowing expression, "These people are all my friends!"

"...... What?"

The panic on Higurashi Ririko's face froze.

Su Han led the group to the table and sat down one by one.

"You actually brought Higurashi Ririko along! No... should I say, you actually have contact with Higurashi Ririko?"

Su Han looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with mild confusion.

"I know Higurashi Ririko, but it has nothing to do with the original plot! Higurashi Ririko is merely the official illustrator assigned to me by the editor."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice was gentle.

She drained the coffee in her cup, her expression utterly unruffled.

"Is that so?"

Su Han nodded thoughtfully, did not dwell further on the matter, and shifted the topic to the core issue: "How much do you know about that transmigrator?"

"Nothing at all!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha tapped her palm, "If not for the guild mission prompt, I wouldn't even know that guy's real name is Kameda Hiroshi... No, his pen name is Kameda, that's all."

Luo Cuilian: "......"

Wugeng Liuli: "......"

"...... You only know that guy's called Kameda—what's the point of that?"

Ichigo Inoue frowned tightly.

Knowing only a pen name and nothing of his actual whereabouts—does that mean we must spend countless hours tracking down his real identity and address? "If all else fails! Let me hack into the network... Give me three hours, I should be able to find his real identity."

Kaya Kiyohiko thought for a moment, then spoke softly.

Kaya Kiyohiko, who could create virtual games, was naturally more than just a top-tier programmer.

He was also an excellent hacker, and his level in hacking was sufficient to be called national or even world-class.

If he truly decided to act, uncovering the real identity of a light novel author would be child's play.

"Let me handle it! My speed is faster."

Su Han slightly shook his head and said, "JARVIS!"

"I'm here!"

A deep voice suddenly sounded from Su Han's wrist.

This startled Higurashi Ririko, who had been carefully observing everyone in the room.

"Infiltrate the network of this world! And search for the real address of the author of A Certain Magical Index, Kameda Hiroshi."

As Su Han spoke, he took cup after cup of coffee from his system warehouse and placed them one by one before everyone.

"Top-grade coffee made by my maid! I think the taste is quite good."

"I hope it suits your palates!"

Bai Jing Heizi took the coffee and murmured, "Although the boss is a bit perverted and treacherous... I have to admit... the boss is truly considerate..."

Su Han: ""

Where was he perverted? Su Han's lip twitched.

But he said nothing further, knowing full well that Bai Jing Heizi still harbored resentment over the previous incident.

Su Han remained calm, but Wugeng Liuli could not accept it—she glared at Bai Jing Heizi and launched a direct retort.

"When the A Certain Magical Index world had problems last time, the Demon King arrived at A Certain Magical Index immediately and helped you resolve the issue."

"Yet you didn't even show gratitude—upon meeting him, you dared to call the boss perverted and treacherous... Is this the etiquette that Kazamatsuri Academy taught you, Miss Bai Jing Heizi? If this is how it is, then so-called elite academies truly open my eyes!"

Facing Wugeng Liuli's sarcasm, Bai Jing Heizi froze.

She instinctively wanted to retort, but opened her mouth and realized Wugeng Liuli was right—she could not utter a word.

After a moment of silence, Bai Jing Heizi finally nodded to Su Han and apologized, "...... Alright. My emotions did get the better of me."

"Boss, I apologize to you!"

Sighing, Bai Jing Heizi picked up her coffee and took a quiet sip.

"...... How dare you drink coffee handed to you by the Demon King!"

Wugeng Liuli huffed, but seeing Bai Jing Heizi did not respond, she said no more and began savoring her coffee.

"Don't be too angry, little black cat."

"These are really minor issues!"

Su Han reached out and ruffled Wugeng Liuli's hair, his tone carrying gentle exasperation, "If you really can't stand Bai Jing Heizi, once we return, let's head to the virtual battlefield."

Bai Jing Heizi: ""

Bai Jing Heizi's lip twitched.

I actually thought you came here to mediate, but your last sentence revealed your true nature.

Bai Jing Heizi let out a long sigh, too drained to retort.

She had originally thought Su Han's personality had mellowed since last time, but now she saw he was as scheming and cruel as ever.

Eri listened to the conversation, her face stiffening, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

What the hell is this? Rushing to the World of A Certain Magical Index, other worlds, the Demon Lord, the Lord Mayor, Bai Jing Heizi—none of this makes sense!
