Chapter 191 Going to America to Play Real-Life Counter-Strike
In Tokonosu City, the bodies of the "Them" outside, after the virus within them disappeared, all fell to the ground, becoming lifeless corpses. The crisis in Tokonosu City was over.
But a new wave of international repercussions was definitely on the way. Given the nature of the United States as a troublemaker, they would certainly continue to cause trouble. But Hakuto didn't need to worry about these matters.
"Natsuki-chan, make arrangements for me. I want to go to the United States."
Hakuto hadn't forgotten his agreement with Hastalyk. He would release the "Them" virus in the United States.
Natsuki immediately understood his intention. Although deep down she didn't want Hakuto to do this, the contract with that entity left her no room to argue.
"Understood. I'll arrange a plane for you. But be careful over there. The United States also has its own supernatural beings."
"Don't worry. I'm sure their supernatural beings are nowhere near as strong as me. Especially now, they won't be able to catch me."
Seeing Hakuto's confident demeanor, Natsuki didn't say anything more. She prepared to arrange the relevant matters.
But then she reminded him, "You'd better say goodbye to the others. Otherwise, you'll have a lot to answer for when you come back."
"Don't worry, I won't forget."
"Then I'll send you off first. I'll handle things here."
"Takagi Souichiro is now my dog. I still plan to use him to infiltrate the Restoration Society. Try your best to keep him safe. But if that's not possible, have him take all the blame. I can just give him a new face later."
"I know. You don't need to teach me this."
The folding fan in Natsuki's hand smacked Hakuto on the head. She was very dissatisfied with his meddling.
Hakuto went home and took a nice bath. Then he noticed that Rem and Ram seemed to have a big problem with him.
"Rem, Ram, what's wrong with you two?"
In response to his question, the two maids just looked at him coldly. "Nothing. We're just deeply sorry that our figures cannot meet the pervert master's expectations."
Hakuto slapped his forehead. Remembering his earlier comments about the girls in Tokonosu City and his exclamation that they were raised on hormones, he realized that his expression just now might have show something to them.
Looking at Rem and Ram, he said, "Don't worry. Even if they're bigger, it doesn't matter. I like you, Rem and Ram. A handful is just right."
Rem and Ram gave him a hard glare. If they hadn't known that Hakuto was about to leave for the United States, they wouldn't have let him off so easily.
[The Tokonosu City incident is finally over. But to solve the virus issue, I had to sign a contract with the God of Plague. Afterwards, I'll be going to the United States. To have revenge, to have vengeance. The United States created the virus themselves; surely they have the antidote, right?]
[But going to the United States will definitely require some time. Before I leave, I need to tell the others. Otherwise, when I come back unannounced, I'll probably get my head beaten in.]
[Yeah, I'll just send a text message to everyone. A mass text. It's not a big deal anyway. I'll only be gone for about ten days or so. Not that long. No need for such a grand farewell.]
[Let me count the people I need to say goodbye to. Megumi, Kaguya, Yukino, Sonoka, Erina, Alice. Then Kirishima counts too. Then Himeji counts. Yeah, Nene counts too. Then Yuji and the others.]
[Little Arisu-chan, I'd like to tell her too. But I'm not sure if our relationship is close enough for that yet. Although she said something like a confession, what if I'm just overthinking it?]
[I'll tell everyone together. I'll just be thick-skinned about it. If I'm thin-skinned, how can I have a harem?]
Hakuto quickly composed an email and sent it to everyone.
[All done. Then tomorrow, I'm off to the United States. I hear that zero-dollar shopping is very popular over there, and that it's gunfights every day. I'm going to play real-life Counter-Strike!]
[That's it. Sleep, sleep.]
Hakuto woke up the next morning and found many emails in his inbox. They were all replies to his mass text from the day before. Mostly messages of concern like "be careful."
"Claim rewards."
[Yesterday's diary completed. Starting reward distribution. You have received complete language proficiency.]
[Yesterday's diary keeper received reward. Starting drawing: one diary copy holder will receive the same reward.]
[Drawing complete. Congratulations to Yuuki Asuna for receiving proficiency in eighteen languages.]
[Diary copy holder reward distribution starting. The person mentioned the most times by the diary keeper yesterday was Minamiya Natsuki. Starting reward distribution now.]
[Congratulations to Minamiya Natsuki for receiving a bottle of baijiu.]
[Complete language proficiency? This is good. Knowing I'm going to America and worried I might have language barriers, it gave me complete language proficiency. Very good, very nice.]
[Alright, time to go. Natsuki-chan has already arranged the plane. America, here I come.]
In the chat group.
[Yukino: Isn't Hakuto going to America to release the virus a bit... bad? The ordinary people in America are innocent.]
[Ram: Yukino, listen to me. First, take a plane to Rome's Da Vinci Airport. Then take metro line A (red line) to Ottaviano San Pietro station. Get off there and follow the crowd or look for signs. Follow the signs to St. Peter's Basilica. Walk about 15 minutes to St. Peter's Square. Then follow the queue. During peak season, you might have to wait an hour. When you get to the front, you can go into St. Peter's Basilica. It's free. Inside, there's Michelangelo's famous sculpture of the Virgin Mary holding Jesus. Knock the Virgin Mary off with a hammer, sit down yourself, and hold Jesus.]
