Is this preventing someone who was supposed to become a witch?

The phantom thief dragged Wakaba Mutsu into the brightly lit corridor.

Shoko Toyokawa frowned and quickly caught up with them.

Thanks to their mutual understanding, she quickly guessed the target that Akira Kurusu was wary of... Toyokawa Shoko took Akira Kurusu's idle left hand from the other side, "Why did you go out by yourself? Do you know the way?"

"I was shown the tour once, and I remember it perfectly."

Will the 'enemy' come again?

"It only chases after people who are in despair."

"Musu is now..."

“Happiness,” Ruoye Mutsu whispered, her bright, light-gold eyes sparkling in the corridor lights.

In the moment that Toyokawa Shoko was stunned, Kurusu Akira turned around, took Toyokawa Shoko's small hand, and walked down the steps.

Shoko Toyokawa came to her senses and looked at the hand that Akira Kurusu was holding on the other side of the girl's hand. She felt absurd, yet surprisingly, she also felt a sense of peace...

They accepted Wakaba Mutsumi's joining as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

This doesn't seem to be a concession made out of guilt or out of necessity.

Shoko Toyokawa was secretly surprised, but after a brief hesitation, she gripped Akira Kurusu's hand tightly.

The old man who had been waiting at the bottom of the steps noticed the two girls being led by Akira Kurusu.

The more he looked at Wakaba Mutsu and Kurusu Akira, the more satisfied he became. However, when his gaze fell on Toyokawa Shoko, he was somewhat surprised, especially when he noticed the tightly clasped hands between Toyokawa Shoko and Kurusu Akira.

The stubborn and self-centered girl in my memory seems to have really grown up.

"Mr. Maruki has been waiting for a long time."

The old man led them to the reception room.

"Follow me, please."

......

When the door was pushed open.

Maruki Takuto, who was flipping through the test sheets, looked in surprise at the boy and girl standing by the door.

Are you here to see a psychologist or to experience the extravagant nightlife of the chaebol?

But when he saw that the two witches who had been born from despair were now living happily and healthily as ordinary girls, he felt a little moved, as if his efforts during this period had really paid off. So he tried to calm himself down and said, "Please sit down, you three."

Toyokawa Shoko suddenly realized that her decision seemed somewhat illogical to outsiders.

A bright blush rose to her face, and she tried to pull her hand away, but Akira Kurusu held it firmly.

"Do you need someone else, Mu, to communicate with you?"

Maruki Takuto shook his head, then looked at Wakaba Mutsu, "If the patient agrees, family members can accompany them."

"That sounds very unprofessional."

“After all, it’s not a serious illness to begin with…” Maruki Takuto said in a very relaxed tone, then opened a test form and handed it to Wakaba Mutsu. “In my case, there are no mental illnesses that can be called ‘difficult to cope with’.”

Then he asked Wakaba Mutsuko for his opinion, "Would you like to let them stay?"

Ruo Yemu nodded vigorously.

"Okay." Maruki Takuto handed her another pen. "Fill this out."

As the door was closed by the servants outside, a quiet atmosphere fell over the reception room.

Only the rustling sound of the pen tip moving across the paper could be heard.

Akira Kurusu and Shoko Toyokawa left the sofa and sat down in the quiet rest area on the other side of the living room to avoid making Mutsuka Wakaba feel uncomfortable while filling out the psychological test form.

When Akira Lai took out her phone and turned on the screen, the number of red dots on her Line message notifications had already accumulated to an astonishing four digits.

Toyokawa Shoko sat beside him, looking somewhat annoyed at the messages he was replying to one by one from a bunch of girls he didn't even know on Line.

"Ren, no... I should say, Akira Kurusu-sensei~ you're really popular..." Toyokawa Shoko said in a joking manner, but her eyes seemed resentful.

Lai Xixiao calmly handed her the phone, saying, "Then you help me reject these troubles."

Toyokawa Shoko raised an eyebrow. "I don't want to see this nonsense."

Akira Kurusu said with some regret, "Then you're going to miss a great opportunity to spy on the 'enemy's situation'."

Toyokawa Shoko understood what he meant by "enemy situation," her lips twitched, and then she turned her face away in a huff, "Do you think I care?"

"Don't you care?"

"I......"

Faced with Akira Kurusu's gentle persuasion, Shoko Toyokawa finally succumbed to temptation, but she still respected An and Subaru's feelings and did not choose to snoop on their chat history.

The young lady of the Toyokawa family cautiously inquired of her boyfriend, "How far...how far have things progressed between you two?"

"I've done everything I was supposed to do," Akira Kurishi confessed to her.

Toyokawa Shoko's eyes widened suddenly.

"That cheater..."

"cat?"

"Don't insult such a cute animal as a cat!"

"That's a fox?"

"Tsk." Toyokawa Shoko clenched her fist and punched Kurusu Akira's shoulder, then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You're staying here tonight!"

After she finished speaking, a blush quickly spread across her fair face. The girl, who was already shy, was too embarrassed to look at her boyfriend anymore.

"How dare you?"

"It was just... just sleeping..." Toyokawa Shoko's face turned red, and her voice grew softer and softer, as if all her courage and anger from before had vanished without a trace.

As the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family, she naturally received normal sex education.

However, there were some things that she couldn't bring herself to say because of her pitiful girlish reserve and shyness.

Although the thought of completely severing her relationship with Akira Kurusu flashed through her mind, her heart was pounding so hard it was like a drumbeat, and all the impulse was immediately suppressed. In the end, she didn't even have the courage to look at Akira Kurusu, let alone communicate with her.

Toyokawa Shoko took off her shoes and knelt down on the sofa, pressing herself against Kurusu Akira. At this moment, she began to regret it... but she felt even more ashamed. She tried to imagine the final step of a relationship between a man and a woman, and then put herself and Kurusu Akira into the picture. In an instant, it felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away. She curled up weakly in Kurusu Akira's arms, completely giving up on thinking, looking like she had given up on herself.

Akira Kurusu found it amusing to see Toyokawa Shoko's once strong expression suddenly soften into a sweet and gentle one.

He couldn't help but reach out and fondle Toyokawa Shoko's burning cheeks. "Such a vivid imagination?"

While teasing the girl in his arms, he lifted her up by her thin legs, which were thin due to malnutrition, and made her sit completely on his lap.

Toyokawa Shoko obediently curled up her small feet, which were wrapped in white cotton socks, and placed them on Kurusu Akira's knees, her blush spreading all the way to her ears.

She felt her whole body burning up, and she wanted to run away shyly, but Akira Kurusu held her tightly in her arms.

Finally, she adopted a completely submissive expression, closing her eyes and burying her face in his chest. If one had to find a suitable word online to describe her current state, it would probably be "shy and adorable"...

You mean, the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family, without her boyfriend saying a single probing question, managed to make herself so shy she almost cried just by imagining things out?

How can there be a girl in the world whose baked rice cake looks crispy and firm but is actually incredibly soft and chewy when you poke it with your finger?

Lai Qixiao played with her long hair, sometimes hugging her waist, sometimes playing with her thighs, and his hands were also restlessly groping under her skirt. After the girl instinctively resisted, he turned around and teased her cute little feet that could be held in one hand.

Before long, Toyokawa Shoko put on a look that was about to cry, but dared not speak out in anger, letting him manipulate her at will like a large doll.

Yes, there really is.

It was difficult for Lai Xixiao to compare the current soft and gentle Xiaoxiang, who was at his mercy, with the arrogant young lady she had been not long ago.

He nibbled on Toyokawa Shoko's warm earlobe, "Shoko, you should know what boyfriends and girlfriends do when they lie in bed together, right?"

Toyokawa Shoko quickly shook her head.

"Answer me." Akira Kurusu immediately put on a stern expression.

Unexpectedly, Toyokawa Shoko actually fell for it. She shrank back in fright, then resignedly hugged his shoulders and answered in a trembling voice, "I...I know."

"You just said you wanted me to stay overnight. Did you just mean you wanted me to hold you and sleep with you?"

"Don't you know that Subaru would do anything for me?"

Do you think you're a good girlfriend?

"..."

Akira Laiqi pressed closer and closer.

After a series of moves, Toyokawa Shoko was so embarrassed and ashamed that she almost cried, but she just bit her lip and tried her best to refuse the question.

Unlike girls like An and Subaru who spend their days immersed in the abstract atmosphere of the internet, Toyokawa Shoko's strict aristocratic education and almost completely closed-off upbringing meant that chastity was far more important to her than to other girls her age.

She has a very low threshold for accepting slightly suggestive topics; a few words can make her blush.

Shoko Toyokawa's voice was clearly choked with sobs. She looked at Akira Kurusu with tear-filled eyes and said almost pleadingly, "I...I'm not ready yet."

At this point, Akira Lai knew it was time to stop.

Otherwise, the girl would really cry in front of him.

He pulled Toyokawa Shoko closer around the waist, pressing her completely against his chest, feeling the softness of her skin even more pronounced than that of An and Subaru. He thought to himself that this girl was truly "soft and tender" in every sense of the word, and that it was only thanks to her being a daughter of the Toyokawa family that she had survived this long safely...

wrong.

Akira Kurusu's eyes underwent a subtle change.

Is it possible that the person Kyubey was looking for just now wasn't only Wakaba Mutsumi?

He recalled the scene when he first met Toyokawa Shoko.

That's a nightclub owned by the Shinjuku yakuza...

Those thugs didn't look like they were acting; they were clearly not joking around.

If he hadn't actively sought out Toyokawa Shoko... one could already foresee the fate that awaited this girl.

Although it is unknown what happened in between, it is clear that the people arranged by the Toyokawa family to protect her safety in the vicinity had some oversights in their work.

Akira Kurusu patted Shoko Toyokawa on the back, feeling a rare sense that "our meeting was destined."

He looked to the other side of the reception room, where Maruki Takuto looked like a completely different person after putting on the white coat... Considering that he was a member of the Toyokawa Group, he finally understood why they could often coincidentally run into each other.

Maruki Takuto sensed Akira Kurusu's gaze and responded with a kind smile.

The psychologist, who also works as a cognitive science researcher, looked at Mutsumi Wakaba, who was filling out a form stroke by stroke. The memory flashed back to the horrific scene of "The Doll Witch" wiping out most of Tokyo's population in just one hour.

He sighed, a heartfelt sigh escaping his lips.

The fact that you young people have these love stories now seems to be something I painstakingly planned and painstakingly forced upon you.

"I'm done writing."

Wakaba Mutsu put down his pen, stood up politely, and bowed slightly to Maruki Takuto.

After carefully reading the test form, Maruki Takuto then asked a few simple questions about Wakaba Mutsumi's experiences.

Although Wakaba Mutsu looked somewhat pained, he still answered Maruki Takuto's questions cooperatively.

"I see. Starting from a certain day a month ago, your parents seem to have become completely different people."

Maruki Takuto quickly wrote on the diagnosis report, "They paid very little attention to you when you were a child... but recently this feeling of 'neglect' and 'exploitation' has intensified, hasn't it?"

Wakaba Mutsu nodded.

Maruki Takuto poked the diagnosis report with his pen. "That child named Metath is another personality you imagined, someone who grew up with you, stood up to protect you in times of danger, and rebelled against your terrible family and even this society. She is someone who escaped from a story script."

He seemed to completely disregard the fact that Wakaba Mutsu was a schizophrenic patient, calmly characterizing the existence of "Metis" as an illness.

Ruo Yemu clenched her fists, unsure whether to nod or shake her head.

Unexpectedly, Maruki Takuto stood up abruptly and put the diagnosis report into his briefcase.

"Okay, that's enough."

"Huh?" Wakaba Mutsu looked up at Maruki Takuto, puzzled.

Maruki Takuto simply said something unethical: "You don't need to see a doctor anymore."

"I......"

“You can clearly understand your current situation and feel your ‘different’ nature, but you are unwilling to accept it… This level of illness doesn’t even require medication,” Maruki Takuto explained using cognitive theory. “That personality is merely a defense mechanism you developed under extreme pressure to protect yourself.”
