Chapter 155: Three More Arrive

September 20th.

The hype surrounding the appearance of anime characters slowly began to cool down, and the ACG-themed website was permanently shut down.

Xuan Xuan’s website project was declared a failure as the anime characters stepped into reality.

Fortunately, however, the "Northern-chan" feature film and "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" were about to be released.

The September weather still held a lingering warmth. Xuan Xuan let out a yawn; he had woken up far too early this morning, having not attended school for days, and combined with unlocking new positions with Qin Yun in the hotel last night, it was no wonder he felt exhausted.

"Is big brother sleep-deprived?" Xuan Xue turned her head and asked with a puzzled look.

"Yeah, I've been really tired lately, both physically and mentally." Xuan Xuan nodded.

"Big brother... if you have anything troubling you, can you tell Xue'er about it?" Xuan Xue said softly.

"Well, recently I've been feeling like Qingyu has gotten even cuter." Xuan Xuan's eyes shifted.

"Ah?" Xuan Xue opened her mouth in a cute manner, recalling the last time she showed Xuan Xuan her swimsuit.

"Xue'er is very cute too, but since I'm with Qingyu every single day, it's inevitable that I find him cute. Even though I know I shouldn't keep thinking like this, I just can't help it." Xuan Xuan wore a troubled expression.

"Big brother... do you... want to see my swimsuit again? I... I bought a new one." Xuan Xue blushed, speaking in a low voice.

"Really? If big brother sees Xue'er's swimsuit, I'll probably feel much better." Xuan Xuan's eyes lit up.

"Big brother, don't speak so loudly, it won't be good if others hear you..." Xuan Xue bit her lip, her face turning crimson.

"That's true. Such matters are better kept for when we're alone." Xuan Xuan smiled, then turned his head to glance at Liu Mengyan sitting behind him.

"Everyone, take your seats. Today we have two transfer students joining our class." Teacher Aoi walked in, followed by two people.

"Hello everyone, my name is Vignette, nice to meet you." The short-haired purple-haired girl wrote her name on the board.

"My name is Satania." The red-haired girl wore a proud expression.

"..." Xuan Xuan.

"You two can take those seats over there, next to Qin Yue and Xuan Xue." Teacher Aoi smiled, looking quite pleased with the new transfer students.

"I never expected these two demons... It seems this is the work of that mysterious summoner." Xuan Xuan turned his head to look out the window.

A class period passed quickly, and as soon as the bell rang, many girls gathered around Satania and Vignette.

Satania sat next to Qin Yue, glancing at her from time to time, but Qin Yue simply gazed quietly at Xuan Xuan.

While Vignette answered her classmates' questions with a gentle demeanor, Satania acted proudly and couldn't be bothered to acknowledge the students trying to be nice to her.

"Hello, Vignette, my name is Xuan Xue, and this is my big brother, Xuan Xuan." Xuan Xue introduced them, sitting beside Vignette.

"Hello..." Vignette glanced at Xuan Xuan, showing a slight flicker of surprise. To her shock, she could sense magic power flowing within Xuan Xuan!

Demons possessed demonic power within their bodies, and her eyes could perceive a faint trace of magical energy emanating from Xuan Xuan. This was the power ancient demons bestowed upon humans, and alongside it, there existed another pure, untainted energy.

"Hello, Vignette." Xuan Xuan reached out his hand and shook hands with Vignette.

The moment their hands touched, both Xuan Xuan and Vignette felt a sharp pain in their palms.

After pulling his hand back, Xuan Xuan thought for a moment and understood the reason.

Having been resurrected by an angel, he might have been tainted by an angelic aura, whereas Vignette, being a demon, naturally repelled angelic presence.

Unless one was a pure angel like Gabriel, who could at least freely manifest or conceal her angelic aura, a half-baked amateur like Xuan Xuan naturally couldn't control it.

"Could it be... that angels exist in this world?" A bold thought formed in Vignette's mind.

...

The morning lessons ended swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, it was lunchtime.

Xuan Xuan, Xuan Xue, and Qin Yue all had bento boxes prepared by Dongfang Aoxue from the Xuansxue Restaurant. Their exquisite presentation went without saying; the moment the lids were lifted, an appetizing aroma filled the air.

"Xuan Xue's bento looks truly exquisite. Did you make this yourself?" Vignette, who had bought bread and a drink, walked back and saw Xuan Xue's lunch, asking with curiosity.

"It was made by a friend of my big brother's. My brother owns a restaurant. Vignette, you should come check it out sometime. It's called the Xuansxue Restaurant, and it's quite famous in the city center," Xuan Xue said with a smile.

"A restaurant? Xuan Xuan is amazing." Vignette came from an ordinary demon family, and the ability to run a restaurant seemed like a truly impressive feat to her.

"The money to open the restaurant was earned by my big brother himself. He can also paint, and his cooking skills surpass even this bento." Mentioning Xuan Xuan filled Xuan Xue with a sense of pride.

"Painting, cooking... Xuan Xuan really is a genius." Vignette smiled.

"Ding-dong, the number of world summons has exceeded 10. Beginning the balancing process!" x3.

Xuan Xuan, who was in the midst of eating, heard the voice echoing in his mind, and with a sharp snap, his chopsticks broke in half.

"Who is it this time? Asuna the Third, or that mysterious summoner?" Xuan Xuan's expression turned cold. The more summoned characters that appeared, the more corresponding anime figures would be drawn into reality.

"Big brother?" Xuan Xue heard the sound and looked at Xuan Xuan with a puzzled expression.

"Rring-rring." Xuan Xuan's phone began to ring.

"I'm going to take this call." Xuan Xuan glanced at the caller ID; it was a call from Blank.

"Asuna the Third has summoned three people. You'd better come take a look; her behavior is extremely abnormal," Bai said in a low voice.

"I understand." Xuan Xuan hung up the phone. If he guessed correctly, it must have been her doing.

"Xue'er, please help me ask for leave. I have matters to attend to this afternoon," Xuan Xuan said to Xuan Xue inside the classroom before leaving Seigoryu High School.

...

Driving to Asuna the Third's home, Xuan Xuan gazed at the various delicacies spread across the table, and at Asuna the Third, who was currently eating.

"Angel-大人, I wonder what game you're playing here?" Xuan Xuan said coldly.

"You're truly clever, figuring out it was me right away. My time is almost up, and fortunately, I managed to summon three rather decent entities. No need to thank me, I'll be taking my leave now." Asuna the Third smiled, and the wing mark on her forehead vanished completely.

"My, that seems rather interesting, doesn't it?" A silver-white-haired girl beside her covered her mouth and smiled.

"None of that matters. Can someone give me a computer? I want to play games," a blonde-haired girl said lazily.

"Where is this place? Isn't this the King's Canyon?" asked a girl with red twin-tails and glasses, looking bewildered.

"..." Xuan Xuan stared at the last twin-tailed girl. Is this an anime character?

...

Meanwhile.

In a forest in Europe, a figure clad in a red robe suddenly materialized.

Beneath his feet, a blue circle and a red circle glowed, seemingly representing something profound.

"Wasn't I just destroying towers in the King's Canyon?" The red-robed figure raised his head, his skin carrying a slightly dark tone.

After looking around, the red-robed figure walked off in a certain direction. As an ambitious mage, even without heroes to lead him, he intended to go jungle farming.
