"Senior Qingyi, don't worry."
"We will definitely get the evidence."
Belle said seriously.
Then Belle returned to the secret room.
Qingyi stood at the door to prevent another surprise attack from the Public Security Officers.
"Uh..."
"Then what should I do?"
Hoshimi Aya suddenly realized something and asked.
Eous had gone to Hoshimi Miyabi's side, while she was still at the Video Store.
Wouldn't that mean she had to stay at the Video Store and space out?
"It's fine, spacing out is actually quite nice."
"Miss Ya is there, and the other members of H.S.O.S 6 are also there. It doesn't really matter if you go or not; it's not a big problem."
Belle thought; after all, it was already too late for Aya to rush over now.
So either Aya stays behind to watch, or just spaces out, or goes out to play.
Generally speaking, Aya didn't have the patience to just watch.
"...Belle, do you think if I run there at full speed now, I can make it?"
Hoshimi Aya was silent for a moment and asked.
She really didn't want to be a spectator; participating in person was much more interesting.
Besides, she could slash away—wasn't that better than sitting here as a spectator?
Furthermore, if she went there, no one would compete with her for monsters.
Ya wouldn't compete with her.
Yanagi wouldn't either, Soukakku wasn't as fast as her, and Harumasa wasn't as fast as her either.
So if she went this time, the monsters would basically be hers alone.
"Uh..."
"Probably not."
After saying that, Belle pointed to Soukakku displayed on the screen.
In the image, Soukakku was staring curiously at Eous.
"...Alright."
"Then I'll go out and play for a while."
"Call me if anything happens."
"Normally, I should answer in a second."
Hoshimi Aya thought.
In the current situation, there was really nothing worth watching.
If she guessed correctly, it basically shouldn't be any different from the original plot.
She had already given a reminder, so there shouldn't be any problems.
After all, the situation back then was that Hoshimi Miyabi didn't know their target was her, so she took the initiative to enter the trap.
Now that she had reminded her, that shouldn't happen.
Since the reminder was so obvious, it was impossible for things to still develop according to the original plot, right?
That should be highly unlikely.
But she didn't know how things would develop later.
However, that had nothing to do with her.
"Mm, I got it."
"Be safe when you go out to play."
Belle nodded as she listened to Hoshimi Aya's words.
On the other side, Belle had already begun to move while controlling Eous.
...
Light Reflection Square.
Hoshimi Aya came to the milk tea shop again and chatted idly with Coco.
"Coco, I'm so bored."
After saying that, Hoshimi Aya took a sip of milk tea.
"Is that so?"
"But I think you're very energetic, Aya."
"You seem full of energy every day."
Coco said with a smile.
"Then maybe I'm just a sunny and cheerful person."
"Coco, you also seem very spirited every day."
Hoshimi Aya replied with a smile.
Now, apart from this place, she felt there was nowhere else she could go.
She wasn't familiar with other places, and going alone would be boring.
It was better to sit here and drink milk tea.
At least Coco was here to chat with her.
"Hello, Miss Hoshimi."
A lady with a mature, big-sisterly appearance sat down beside Hoshimi Aya and also ordered a cup of milk tea.
The person who arrived was none other than Jane Doe.
"You are... Jane."
Hoshimi Aya was stunned when she saw the newcomer, but she quickly recalled who it was.
It had been so long since she last saw her that she had almost forgotten.
"Miss Hoshimi has a good memory."
"It is indeed me."
"I saw Miss Hoshimi sitting here looking unhappy, so I came over specifically to comfort you."
Jane said with a smile.
"...Then thank you for coming to comfort me."
"But you don't have to call me Miss Hoshimi."
"I'm not quite used to it. You should call me Aya, just like Belle does."
Hoshimi Aya said after a moment of silence.
"Aya, can you tell me why you're sitting here all by yourself?"
"You look a bit unhappy."
"Maybe I can give you some guidance."
Jane said with a smile.
At the same time, she pointed in several directions from a hidden position.
Hoshimi Aya understood instantly.
"Sigh, it's not a big deal."
"I've just been a bit bored lately."
"And I don't know where to go for fun."
"The only person I'm somewhat close to is Coco, so I came here to sit."
Hoshimi Aya replied with a smile, while her eyes glanced toward the directions Jane had just pointed out.
At some unknown point, the nearby cameras had all turned toward her.
And it seemed like someone was monitoring her.
Previously, she had thought they were Ya's fans, so she hadn't paid much attention. After all, the foot traffic in this place was quite heavy.
People often mistook her for someone else, so she hadn't paid much attention.
She didn't expect that someone would actually dare to monitor her.
"Alright, you look much more cheerful now."
"Then I'll be leaving first."
After saying that, Jane gave Hoshimi Aya a blowing kiss and left.
Her initiative to strike up a conversation this time was to remind Hoshimi Aya that someone was monitoring her.
Now her goal had been achieved.
Naturally, she had no intention of staying longer. Besides, staying wouldn't be of much use; the other party possessed Void Hunter Level strength and didn't need her help.
The fact that she hadn't noticed this time was probably because she was thinking about other things.
"Coco, I suddenly remembered I have some things to handle. See you next time."
After saying that, Hoshimi Aya also left, but she borrowed a fruit knife from Coco before leaving.
Since they dared to monitor her, they had to be prepared to pay the price.
Thinking this, Hoshimi Aya walked toward the parking garage at Light Reflection Square.
There was a blind spot for the surveillance cameras in that location; it would be very convenient to lure them there and take action.
Soon, Hoshimi Aya arrived at a dead end.
She hid in a concealed corner and waited for the fish to take the bait.
Since they were here to monitor her, they would definitely follow.
Otherwise, what would be the point of their monitoring?
As expected, two men in black walked toward the spot.
"What's going on? Where is she?"
One of the men in black asked in confusion as he looked at the dead end in front of him.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind them.
"Are you... looking for me?"
Hoshimi Aya stood behind the two of them holding a fruit knife, her face expressionless.
However, a cold chill emanated from her eyes.
In this situation, only two kinds of people would monitor her: the Hoshimi Family, but that option was clearly unlikely, so there was only one choice left—the Praise Society!
