Chapter 264: An Overlapping Chapter Written as a Compilation
The following days became somewhat abruptly normal, making Kazumi, who had long been accustomed to switching between high-load, multiple identities, feel a bit unaccustomed for a moment.
The organization’s missions also came to a halt. Although the next mission had already been scheduled, all Kazumi could do now was wait for Masashi Sakuraba, who controlled powerful spiritual energy, to proactively notify her, as she didn’t even have a way to contact him.
As for proactively contacting her superior, Kurokawa Iori?
It could only be said that Kazumi, with her years of social experience, wouldn’t do something as foolish as rushing her superior. Moreover, if they didn’t come to her, she could also take a couple of days off for herself! It could be considered a time to relax after being busy during this period.
However, the only regret was that the promised material application was delayed. In this regard, it was exactly the same as the black-hearted capitalist blood workshop in her previous life, which would delay salary payments as long as possible, essentially exploiting employees to the death.
What else could be done? In her previous life, even if she had no one to rely on, she could at least use the law to confront companies without much background.
But now…
Recalling her boss’s unpredictable and cruel temperament, Kazumi felt that if she went in person to demand it, she would most likely be blown away by the fleshy hammer, just like the senpai who brought her in that day.
Her small body couldn’t withstand such an attack.
After quickly considering the costs and benefits of this matter in her mind, Kazumi quickly shook her head and canceled this somewhat dangerous plan to ask for wages. At the very least, it had only been two days overdue, and she could wait. If it really didn’t work out, she’d try telling Masashi Sakuraba before the mission.
After all, in Kazumi’s opinion now, this senior, with whom her powers had some connection, was much easier to get along with than her own boss. Although he would still reveal a perverted nature at times, at least her personal safety was somewhat guaranteed.
Moreover, due to her abilities, the future Masashi Sakuraba seemed to need her help with something. Therefore, it was a relatively easy place to start. The death crystal he gave her last time, converted into death aura, was equivalent to two weeks of daily output from the territory at that time. It could be said that Lei’s current ability to build structures was largely thanks to Masashi Sakuraba’s funding.
As for life, it had also stabilized a lot.
Kazumi could also describe her previous academy life as “disastrous.” From the exposure of Uncle Fukada’s identity at the beginning, then being bullied by students from the Hero Department, and her subsequent further testing due to Sato Shinichi’s injury.
Then, the final survival test, the [Dark] Organization’s plan deployment, and finally her successful joining of the organization.
It had to be said that although the time span from her transmigration to this world was only about two months, the events that had occurred were truly solid and breathtaking, fitting for this world of various psychics.
“If that’s the case, was Minako Hishiyama’s actions also influenced by people in the organization? After all, it was too coincidental at the time…”
Pinching her chin, the young girl sat by the table and suddenly thought of past events, quickly connecting her suspicions with the current information.
The young girl was actually quite enjoying her current state. Studying and returning home to do homework on time was infinitely more comfortable than her miserable programmer life in her previous life, let alone having a real game called “Undead Lord Online” to play.
Her own golden retriever was diligently fulfilling his duties as a simp, still taking care of her day in and day out, whether it was preparing breakfast and lunch, escorting her to and from school, or his extremely clumsy jokes every day to try and make her happy. The young boy was expressing his affection with his clumsy efforts.
In Kazumi’s opinion, Sato Shinichi’s “stupidity” points had long been maxed out. The young girl, who was profit-oriented, was too lazy to spend effort further deepening their relationship. Maintaining a lukewarm relationship like this and enjoying his attention, which was taken for granted, was also a very good thing.
After all, she was just a pet she casually kept when she had nothing else to do. When he was no longer of any use, she would just discard him.
At least for now, he could still amuse her, couldn’t he?
However, there were some minor issues with Yokota Ran, her second spare tire. Of course, it definitely wasn’t because her carefully crafted persona was exposed. Given the young girl’s cautious nature, if she did something, it would definitely be with meticulous planning and detailed contingency plans. Moreover, with that delinquent boy’s emotional intelligence, he basically couldn’t even see through this level of disguise.
So the main issue was with Kazumi herself. After the incident of borrowing information, their relationship had undergone a subtle change, which was also intentionally done by Kazumi.
Including the gradually increasing conversations during evening part-time work, and being able to exchange greetings or chat a few sentences on text messages every day, but the overall progress was still very slow.
These were all within the young girl’s plans. After all, her cold persona made it impossible for her to use cute emojis or tricks like she did when chatting with Sato Shinichi. This tentative distance was the “fishing” method that Kazumi currently needed.
If the young girl were to flirt with a guy as a girl, Kazumi, with her rich experience from her previous life, could handle such things with ease, and even operate multiple threads without difficulty.
But the problem was that this was happening in reality. The young girl’s emotionless state and calm thinking after becoming undead could help her compensate for some acting errors, but people in the real world had their own relationship roles.
Especially Kazumi herself. On the surface, she had Sato Shinichi as her boyfriend. Basically, a simple inquiry would reveal that the boy who accompanied her to and from school every day was her boyfriend.
Kazumi had learned quite well how to flirt with men, but how to reliably flirt with other men while maintaining the persona of having a boyfriend was indeed a bit beyond her capabilities, especially for Kazumi, who was not originally a girl.
After all, online relationships were nothing special. Let alone having a partner, even gender could be fake. In her previous life, Kazumi, in order to achieve her goals, would naturally not set herself such a difficult challenge.
“I’ll have to look up some information about this later. I need to deduce as many possible situations as I can…”
Just as the young girl was about to open her mobile phone to check some information, there was a knock at the front door of the room?
Her previously calm expression showed a hint of confusion, but Kazumi still followed the rhythmic knocking sound to the somewhat dilapidated front door in the living room. Her pale hand rested on the doorknob as she pondered for a moment, but finally, she gently turned the doorknob and opened the door.
The dilapidated door opened with a few piercing “creaks,” and the figure that appeared at the door made the young girl’s eyebrows twitch involuntarily.
“Hi, Little Shimizu~”
