Chapter 407 - 407: When I Extra-Scanned the Real Haruki Karen

"Hey. Blue Sky Magi is here."

Back, who had gone to the drink bar, said it quiet.

Eh? Serious? Where.

"By that window. Looks like he is with family. He talked to me. I already blocked him, so it was awkward."

"The little sister from before was there?"

Nice, TANGE. I wanted to ask that too.

"Yeah. She was. Still a young feel. Cute."

I want to see. I do not want anything to do with Blue Sky Magi.

"What do we do? Leave?"

I nodded at TANGE's question. I hate a fight. We pull out.

I thanked TANGE for treating us and headed for the car, and someone spoke.

"Um."

I turned, and Haruki was there. Haruki Karen was standing.

Uwaa. Exact. Obvious, and twins.

A young woman stood there, innocent-looking cheeks faintly red. I make a girl this pretty drink semen and piss. Brutal.

"You are my brother's friends, right."

Not friends, so all three of us put on a vague face.

"My brother has been strange lately. Do you know any reason?"

Haruki looked like she had made up her mind. Are these two a brocon and siscon set?

"Strange how?"

"Um. He is hooked on a game called MANHUNT. A few days ago he started muttering, and he says to me it is fine, do not worry."

"…"

I cannot say anything.

"Then I will take it back, I will kill Aoi. Aoi seems to be a classmate."

Hey, TANGE and Back. Do not look at me. It will show.

"Are you Aoi, maybe?"

It showed.

Nothing for it. I nodded back.

"Did something happen with my brother? Lately it is creepy."

"That guy tried to make me a mark. He got hit back and lost an important card. That is all."

"A mark? My brother? You?"

"Yeah. He tried to make me a mark as a group, so he lost a card as the price. You, Haruki. The card your brother scanned."

Ah. Bad. I called her by name like usual without thinking.

"M-me? My card?"

"Yeah. Your card."

TANGE and Back sighed, good grief. Nothing for it. The talk went this way.

"Um. Can you not return the card of me you have to my brother?"

"I got the card from your brother, fully legal. I won the match. If he wants it back, win and take it back."

I am saying it knowing he cannot. Brutal.

"M-my brother seems to be trying that. He is, how to say, a little off."

"Do not know."

"Eh?"

"I do not know your brother's situation."

"That."

Haruki's face went white fast.

"A classmate, and a stranger. Not a scrap of friendship for someone who tried to make me a mark. I do not care what happens to him. His own mess. Let him handle it. Or will you do something?"

"Something, what?"

Oh?

Serious?

A development like an eroge?

No, no, no. That is dangerous. TANGE and Back are watching.

"Then let me scan you for now. There is something I want to try."

"If I do, will you return the card?"

"No. I will not return it. I will consider whether to return it."

"That."

"If you hate it, fine. Later. Take care of your brother."

"Wait a moment."

It caught.

I am surely making a very bad face.

"Only a scan, right. Here is fine, right. Then please. In return, think about returning the card. A promise."

"Yeah. I promise. These two are witnesses."

"Th-then, please."

A very formal pose. No problem, surely. The AI will analyze it.

I started MANHUNT and selected Extra Scan.

Tense Haruki fit in the frame.

"Look this way?"

"Y-yes."

Haruki raised her eyes, hesitant. Good, this innocent look. I will go back to World and fuck her.

I pressed the phone shutter.

That moment.

The phone vibrated hard, and the flash blinked at a terrible pace.

What? What happened? What is this movement.

At the end one strong flash fired, and the strange motion ended.

"What? That just now?"

"Phone broken?"

I checked the phone at their words.

The text, transport complete.

What is this.

"Eguu, guu."

A pained voice. I looked, and Haruki was holding her mouth and crouched.

What. Hey. What happened.

On her knees, crouched, and her body started twitching in spasms.

"This is bad. Go to the car first. Trouble if it gets complicated."

TANGE said that and threw the keys.

"Call the brother."

Back, told that, ran into the shop.

I got in the car, pulled by the sight behind me.

From inside the car, Haruki was vomiting. The spasms looked big.

That. The epilepsy or febrile seizure kind Liner was worried about, maybe.

Blue Sky Magi came running out, guided by Back. Family followed. I thought they would call an ambulance, and Haruki stood, unsteady. The spasms seemed to have stopped.

She wiped her mouth and dirty clothes and looked around.

TANGE put a finger to his mouth, shh, at Haruki getting taken back into the shop by her family.

"She seemed to feel sick for a bit. The family thinks the food did not agree. Stomach cramp, maybe."

TANGE said it, hands on the wheel.

"The brother's panic was not half. A serious siscon. I get the first scan."

Back's review.

"A case of that on a second scan?"

"No. Never heard of it. I do not think World had a report like that either. The clan master would know more, no?"

"I do not know."

If that happens, I am too scared to do an extra scan.

"Nothing like that when it was me."

Then it might be a spec only on the custom build.

"The flash was blinking hard in a row, right. That kind of thing can cause a photosensitive seizure. Might be that."

"That. The case where a lot of kids watching anime got taken in."

That happened. Might be that. I still do not know why the phone acted that way.

I will seal extra scans for a while.

"Right. The clan master seems particular about costumes, so I will give you these. Trade for 1 G. I will not use them anyway."

Great, TANGE. Good I made you a member.

Tap.

RR Casual Miniskirt.

RR Casual Shorts.

SR Sailor Bloomers (Black).

You a god?

"I sold R and under. I kept RR and up in case they work for trade. The clan master seems to like pretty female characters, so use them."

Of course. The use is lewd.

"Welcome back, Master."

"Y-yeah. Haruki, how are you?"

"Hoeh?"

Hmm. The usual plain, innocent Haruki. She drinks semen and piss, though.

"You extra-scanned Haruki. Will you change the rarity?"

"It does not always go up, right."

"Yes. If it fails, you seem to get an item. On failure, no penalty."

You want me to do it, Akie.

No penalty, so doing it is fine, I think.

"Haruki passed level 30, in the Gillman fight before."

Free, right. Got it, got it.

"Then we challenge raising Haruki's rarity."

"Waa."

Haruki is happy. You threw up and spasmed just now.

"Then please press Synthesize."

I pressed the button Akie showed.

Tap.

Haruki's body became light particles, carded, and spun. The newly scanned card appeared, the two overlapped, and spun fast.

Light particles scattered. One card remained.

I materialized it again. So. How is it.

"I am Haruki Karen. I became RR."

Haruki bowed a greeting. Hmm. No abnormality. Good.

"Wait a bit."

I opened the skill panel. A new skill was unlocked, sure.

Looks like a passive skill line.

I want to watch for now, so I put points in Magic Power Up and Magic Resist.

Haruki, smiling. Cute. I will fuck her later.

I thought that and noticed. It is not Devoted anymore. About a quarter, maybe. Loyalty had dropped.

"Akie. Haruki's loyalty dropped."

"Oh. That was the spec? I did not know. Sorry."

"No. It might be a World spec. Fine. I will fuck her after this."

"Yes, Master. Please."

Haruki looks happy.

"Also, what about the Gillman Queen?"

"Ah. Right. A greeting."

I materialized the card.

"I am Gill, the Gillman Queen."

"I am Master. Got it."

I went to smell Gill. If she smells like fish, I hate it.

"W-what?"

The Gillman Queen made a displeased face at me sniffing.

Hoho. Good. This low-loyalty reaction.

Reminds me of Lime at the start.

"Not smelly."

"O-obvious. What do you think I am."

"Hmm. A fish."

"I-I am not a fish. A proud sea clan, queen of the Gillmen."

"A lake."

Gill gritted it. Rich expressions. The face is a human face.

"T-that is, um, because I was sent there."

Oh. Straight to the core.

"By who?"

"The Demon God."

There.

Right out.

"Who is the Demon God?"

"The Demon God is the Demon God."

"What kind of existence?"

"A god of demons. You can call it the one standing at the top of us monsters."

"What does it look like?"

"I do not know. I and the King only heard a voice."

"Man? Woman?"

"I do not know. A voice that rang in the head directly, so no man or woman."

Hmm. The keyword Demon God came out. No new major info.

One line bothered me more.
