It was as if Su Yuzu and Feng Ke had truly been given time off.
Just past midnight—
The third video was released.
The cover of the video featured Su Yuzu's nearly iconic [crimson eyes], with the corners of the young girl's lips raised in a smile filled with aggressive intent.
She leaned in very close, as if pressing right up against the camera.
Or rather—
She was pressing right up against the eyes of the girl acting as the 'camera'.
[Opening shock!!!]
[Wow... is His Highness Yuzu... confessing?]
[What confession? This woman is forcibly flirting with me.]
[Dream on upstairs, that's my wife.]
[...When did this happen? How did I not know...]
[Tsk tsk tsk, another one gone crazy.]
The video began with the scene of an [Aberrant girl] in a white dress squatting on the grass feeding a cat.
[Aberrant... feeding cats? Fake, right.]
[As expected—]
[This video is just a scripted drama.]
[Not necessarily. There are reports that some Aberrants do possess a significant degree of self-awareness, but communicating with them is almost impossible.]
[Look at her eyes. They are wind-cyan. In this script, she probably isn't an Aberrant.]
[True, very beautiful eyes.]
The plot was simply the video of Su Yuzu meeting Feng Ke during the day.
However, the audio related to the [Aberrant] had been deliberately edited out.
It looked just like Su Yuzu catching a girl feeding cats in the park red-handed.
[If it's just pure daily life, it's a bit boring...]
[(°□°)×() / Tietie, this child wants to see tietie!!!]
[No tietie! No tietie! Yuzu can only tietie with Big Sister!]
[Done for, the person upstairs is beyond saving. You aren't His Highness Yuzu's sister.]
[Who said I'm not!!!]
The footage remained quite normal as Yuzu rested her chin on her hand, admiring the girl's skirt and the moving lines of the girl's calves beneath it.
Only occasionally did weeping emoticons drift across the screen, encased in colored boxes because they were from someone Su Yuzu had set as a 'Special Focus'.
Su Yuzu followed many people.
But there was only one... she had on Special Focus.
Watching that selfish idiot who seemed to unscrupulously display her true self on the internet simply because she wasn't afraid of being caught, the Su Yuzu watching the video smiled even more wickedly than the Su Yuzu in the video.
That [Aberrant girl] did a pretty good job~
She had asked her to make her look good, and indeed... the self in the video seemed perfect to the point of being dreamlike.
Su Yuzu didn't think about how these videos were extracted, nor did she realize... that in Miss Feng Ke's eyes, she truly looked that way.
It continued until the two girls sat together.
Until... the screen suddenly shifted to the close-up of Su Yuzu shown on the video cover... viewed from the girl's perspective—
Knees held together were forcibly pried apart.
The corners of the young girl's lips raised in a smile filled with aggressive intent.
"Am I..."
"Pretty?"
[Ohhhhhhhhh——]
[Wuwuwu, Your Highness Yuzu, my Your Highness Yuzu...]
The drifting bullet comments all turned into cheers like these, plastering the entire screen.
Su Yuzu touched her own cheek.
A bit hot.
So, in Feng Ke's eyes, was it really from this perspective?
Su Yuzu looked at [Soga Yura]'s expression.
Then she swiped open [Operator Development]. Unsurprisingly... inside [Operator Development], [Soga Yura]'s [Q-version chibi] was lying pitifully in front of a computer, wearing the exact same expression.
What was originally just a daily life video climbed directly to the top because of the young girl's aggressive action at the final moment.
Of course—
There was surely no lack of some behind-the-scenes manipulation involved.
Just as Su Yuzu was preparing to continue tracking [Soga Yura]'s expressions, suddenly... the young girl's brows furrowed.
She lifted her head, looking outside [Keigunen Private Academy]... towards the direction of the [Harbor District].
Su Yuzu clearly felt a strong... extraordinarily abnormal [Aberrant] aura.
The reason the aura was described as abnormal was that it gave Su Yuzu a feeling just like [Soga Ishikawa Kiyomi] from back then.
The girl she had crushed and eaten inch by inch in the dream.
But that was impossible—
[Soga Ishikawa Kiyomi] was currently in the [school hospital] of [Keigunen Private Academy], and [Soga Ishikawa Irube] was guarding the girl almost every step of the way.
[Soga Ishikawa Irube] could practically be considered one of the strongest of the [Third Sequence].
To corrupt [Soga Ishikawa Kiyomi] again right under his nose... was an almost impossible feat.
Of course—
A more practical reason was that Su Yuzu was looking at her [Operator Development].
[Soga Ishikawa Kiyomi] was lying sideways on a hospital bed playing with her phone, her small face illuminated by the screen and filled with shock.
Wait... wait!??
She couldn't be watching that video too, right?
Su Yuzu's face suddenly turned very dark.
But regardless... Su Yuzu knew that the aura belonging to [Soga Ishikawa Kiyomi]'s [Aberrant] form was an invitation issued to her.
[Shall I go?]
She suddenly hesitated for a moment.
Then, Su Yuzu suddenly couldn't help but laugh.
What... did she have to be afraid of?
This was the [Tokyo metropolitan area]... the territory of humanity.
Even if the opponent laid ten thousand ambushes, at worst, she would just leave.
She changed into a hoodie and long pants.
Patting the head of the well-behaved cat beside her, Su Yuzu left the dormitory.
Inside the dorm... the cat's eyes were wide open, chin resting on the laptop, watching the screen as she hit replay again and again.
"Am I..."
"Pretty?"
"Aaaa... P... Pretty."
"Am I..."
"Pretty?"
"So pretty!!!"
Curled up in the bedding full of her owner's scent, the cat's tail wagged happily.
Only the expression on the screen became increasingly real.
Su Yuzu had originally wanted to summon [Behemoth] to rush to the [Harbor District].
But [Behemoth]'s energy was truly too expensive, and... it was already late at night; Su Yuzu didn't want to disturb others' sleep.
The young girl rode a bicycle toward the seaside.
Along the way... girls who saw Su Yuzu revealed expressions bordering on adoration.
Unlike before.
Those [Aberrants] truly wanted Su Yuzu to be the center of attention.
By the bay, the sound of the black ocean waves was surging.
[Dark golden vertical pupils] were distinct; a woman watched the girl riding over on the bicycle, the corner of her eye twitching.
"You finally came."
