"Indeed, something seems off."
After Seiji expressed his opinion, Mika nodded in agreement.
"Not only does it use real names, but this game can't be downloaded directly. It requires a player's recommendation code to download, and each player is only allowed to recommend the game once.
In fact, after downloading the game, it's even possible to fail to apply for an account, and if you fail, you'll have to wait three days before you can apply again. "
"This feels even stranger … is it intentionally using such anti-marketing methods to attract attention?" Seiji rubbed his chin in contemplation.
It would be fine if that was the case, but he was worried that there might be some sort of hidden abnormality, such as this game being a dangerous invention created by a certain doctor in order to revive his deceased daughter.
"Chiaki believes that to be the case, but I still find it strange, so I don't dare to play too much."
"It's correct to be on guard. You should be on guard against suspicious things."
"Yeah … but even though I think that, Anna is truly charismatic. I unknowingly become immersed in the game." Mika looked back at her cell phone.
"Have you recommended anyone else?" Seiji asked. He wanted to download the game and take a closer look.
"I've already recommended someone, including Chiaki."
Mika told him that her and Chiaki had both been recommended by their classmates, and then shared the recommendation code with other classmates who wanted to play this game.
After Seiji understood the situation, he looked towards Chiaki.
The tomboy was still immersed in the game, appearing rather foolish.
Seiji took out his cell phone and took a picture of her foolish appearance as a souvenir before calling out to her.
"No matter how fun the game is, don't get too immersed in it," he warned her in a serious tone.
"I know, Brother Seiji ~" Chiaki pouted. "I just started playing, and I think it's really interesting, so I'm quite immersed. I won't really become a cripple."
Seiji felt like this was a red flag.
"It's good that you know your limits. If you really get too immersed in it, I'll teach you a lesson. "
"How do you want to teach me a lesson?"
"First, tie me up, and then … no! Not a lesson, a lesson! " Seiji was almost led astray by her. "I'll punish you with my iron fist, and then cancel your game account."
"This is too much! He actually wants to kill my wife, how cruel! "Chiaki hugged her phone tightly and trembled.
"Don't say things like an otaku would say! I'm the otaku! "Seiji said sternly.
Mika was rendered speechless.
"It seems quite lively." Aina smiled from the other end of the phone.
The twintailed girl looked at her and clicked on the "Temporarily Leave" option.
"You're probably going to go to school together with your friends." The white-dressed girl spoke in a soft voice as the screen darkened. "Be careful on the road, Mika."
…
Seiji, Mika, Chiaki, and Feng Wu went to school together.
"The night before yesterday, I went to attend the Thunder Bunko Newcomer Award Ceremony …" He briefly mentioned what had happened.
Mika and the others were surprised that he had experienced another adventure.
"There are hundreds of people involved. If it doesn't end smoothly, it might be a tragedy." Seiji sighed.
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
"Abnormal signs might develop into something serious, so you need to pay attention to anything abnormal around you, such as the mobile game that Mika and the others are playing," Seiji continued.
"If 'Anna' is just a game, that's fine. But if there's something hidden behind it, and it explodes in the future, you might get caught up in it. That's no laughing matter."
Mika and Chiaki exchanged awkward glances.
"Are you saying that we should give up on playing this game?"
"It's best if we don't touch it before we find out what it is. But you've already played it, and there haven't been any problems up until now. Perhaps I'm just overthinking things. " Seiji looked at them. "I'll ask Summer Night about this game and have her help investigate it if possible. You guys can play it, but be careful not to get too involved in it. "
He then looked towards Feng Wu.
"Juumonji-sensei, please pay attention and see if anyone feels uncomfortable playing the game 'Anna' and comes to the infirmary. Let me know if anyone does. "
"Alright, Seiji." Feng Wu smiled and nodded.
Mika and Chiaki's expressions froze over for a moment when they heard this intimate form of address.
They then turned to look at the blonde teacher in unison, and then turned to look at the handsome boy.
"I smell something fishy." Chiaki assumed the pose of a famous detective. "What do you think, Prosecutor Mika?"
"There's indeed something fishy going on, Inspector Chiaki." Mika narrowed her eyes.
"Something fishy, the hell!" Seiji felt rather awkward. "She only called me by my name."
"It's not 'only.' The change in how she called me by my name proves that something special happened between the two of you! I'm guessing that there's something that violated teacher-student ethics! "Chiaki adjusted her nonexistent eyeglasses.
"No! I didn't violate any ethics. I'm innocent. "Seiji averted his gaze.
"Your guilty expression has already betrayed you! You definitely did something … Juumonji-sensei, please provide us with a victim's testimony! "Chiaki turned to Feng Wu.
"I wasn't a victim, but I can provide a testimony." Feng Wu had a wide grin. "That was an unforgettable night …"
"Sensei!" Seiji had an expression that said, "Please don't make trouble."
Prosecutor … Mika was beginning to give off a dark aura!
"I really didn't do anything. Something happened to the Juumonji family, and I helped out a little, which helped me become closer to Sensei," he explained.
"I think that's not all. The suspect is hiding many important details." Chiaki's eyes flashed.
"The details aren't important, so please don't pursue it!"
"They're very important to me. That was my first time …"
"Sensei!"
There was a commotion between them.
Then, Feng Wu smiled and stopped trying to be flirtatious.
"It's just as Seiji said. He helped out my family, and we became closer, "she explained with a smile.
"Nothing inappropriate happened. Although I personally wanted it to happen, he wasn't willing to cooperate …
As for what exactly happened, you can imagine it for yourself. "
Chiaki didn't pursue the matter any further upon hearing this.
That was because with her intelligence as a famous detective, she could already guess the general situation.
Mika had a complex expression. She glared at Seiji for a while before averting her gaze.
Seiji could only smile wryly.
…
When they arrived at the president's residence, Seiji mentioned the suspicious cell phone game "Anna" to Summer Night.
The president, Grand Mistress, indicated that she would investigate the matter after hearing about it.
"Haruta -san … the dueling equipment that your younger sister provided has arrived. It's currently in your room," she told Seiji Mukai.
Dueling equipment!
Seiji was quite curious as to what type of equipment Hana provided.
He immediately went to his room, opened the door, and saw a silver briefcase inside.
The briefcase was sealed shut, and couldn't be opened directly.
Seiji contacted Hana and soon received a message from her. He learned how to open the briefcase and the password he needed to enter.
He then placed the briefcase on the floor and injected his Mana into it.
A black spell formation instantly appeared on the briefcase. A gear wheel appeared in the center of the formation.
Seiji used his other hand to turn the gear wheel and accurately entered the password.
