Itabashi Ward, outside the shopping street.
Lin followed Satania's gaze and took in the figures of two beautiful girls about a dozen meters away.
One had purple shoulder-length hair.
The other had golden waist-length hair.
The beautiful girl with purple medium-short hair was about 1.55 meters tall, with a bundle of hair tied behind her head with a hairband.
Her features were delicate, her skin smooth.
Looking downward, her figure...
Could only be described as just the tip of the iceberg.
As for the one with golden long hair, she was even shorter, about 1.45 meters, looking almost like an elementary school student.
Her figure was on par with her companion.
No need to think twice; the moment he laid eyes on their appearances, Lin had already recognized their identities.
The girl with purple short hair was fully named Tsukinosē Vignette April, shortened to Vignette.
Her race was demon.
The girl with golden long hair was fully named Pure Gabriel White, shortened to Gabriel, race angel.
He hadn't expected to encounter these two together near the shopping street.
Wasn't Gabriel a gaming shut-in?
Retracting his gaze, Lin looked at Satania beside him.
"Satania, are they your friends?"
"Eh, friends..."
Satania froze upon hearing this.
A strange glint flashed in her eyes.
Then she slightly turned her head, saying in a somewhat tsundere manner:
"No way, that golden-haired one is the angel I mentioned."
"And the other one?"
"She... she's like me."
Satania glanced at Vignette.
"Should we go say hi?"
Lin smiled faintly and asked.
"Uh..."
Satania hesitated for a moment.
Meanwhile, a dozen meters away.
"Isn't that Satania!"
Vignette and Gabriel had also spotted Satania and Lin. Surprise appeared on Vignette's face.
Especially at Lin beside her.
A thought flashed through her mind:
"Who is this human? Could he be Satania's boyfriend?"
"Seems like her..."
Gabriel, hands in her pockets and looking somewhat listless, slightly raised her eyes toward Satania and Lin.
"Let's go over."
Vignette looked at Gabriel.
Since they'd already run into each other, they couldn't pretend not to know them.
"Whatever..."
Gabriel responded.
Still looking lazy.
She had been dragged out by Vignette anyway; unable to game now, she didn't care what they did.
Thus, the two walked toward Lin and Satania.
"They're coming over."
Seeing this, Lin smiled and said.
Satania didn't speak, her expression changing slightly.
Soon, the four faced each other.
"Satania..."
Approaching, Vignette wore a somewhat cute, friendly smile and called out to Satania.
Gabriel didn't greet them.
Hands in her jacket pockets.
She glanced at Satania before fixing her gaze on Lin.
"Vignette..."
Satania looked at Vignette and Gabriel, responding.
Then, with slight confusion, she asked:
"What are you two doing?"
Vignette smiled and said:
"Today I made plans with Gabriel to go shopping and buy some daily necessities."
She glanced at Lin:
"Satania, are you out shopping with a friend too?"
"Yeah, that's right."
Satania nodded.
At this moment, Lin smiled faintly and said:
"Hello, I'm Lin, Satania's good friend. You two should be her friends as well."
"Nice to meet you."
"Ha, not friends..."
Before Vignette and Gabriel could respond to Lin's words, Satania retorted:
"Vignette maybe, but Gabriel is my rival."
"I'll definitely defeat her, hmph hmph!"
Satania placed her hands on her hips, a confident look on her face.
At the same time, her cheeks were slightly flushed.
Her gaze flickered, as if her words didn't match her heart.
Vignette smiled helplessly at this.
"Yes, yes..."
Hearing Satania say this, Gabriel's expression didn't change. She glanced at her and responded perfunctorily.
Seemingly unconcerned at all.
"Damn Gabriel!"
Seeing Gabriel's indifferent, lazy demeanor, Satania couldn't help but grit her teeth slightly, feeling a bit indignant.
Not taking her seriously at all.
"Alright, stop fussing."
Lin smiled, extending his left hand to pat Satania's head.
"O-Okay..."
Satania's face instantly reddened.
She shyly lowered her head.
Seeing this, a strange glint appeared in Gabriel and Vignette's eyes. They hadn't expected Satania to be so obedient.
This Lin was no ordinary person.
Lin patted twice and withdrew his hand.
Looking at Vignette and Gabriel, he said:
"Since you're all Satania's friends, want to shop together?"
Satania's eyes flickered.
Seeming a bit expectant.
"This..."
Vignette hesitated slightly:
"Won't we be disturbing you?"
Gabriel looked indifferent.
If possible, she'd rather go back to gaming.
Shopping was so tiring.
Lin smiled and said:
"No problem, you won't be disturbing us. I was worried about disturbing you two."
"Not at all."
Vignette shook her head slightly, then smiled:
"In that case, let's go together."
"By the way..."
She suddenly thought of something and smiled somewhat embarrassedly:
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself earlier. My name is Tsukinosē Vignette April."
Vignette glanced at Gabriel.
Seeing she didn't seem inclined to speak, she continued:
"This is Pure Gabriel White."
"Got it, I'll remember."
Lin smiled and nodded.
Then, the four headed into the shopping street together.
Lin, knowing but asking anyway, smiled:
"Tsukinosē, you two should be in the same class as Satania, right?"
"Yeah, same class."
Vignette kept a smile on her face.
Lin asked again:
"When did you meet Satania? Did you know her before?"
Before Vignette could speak, Satania interjected:
"No, we met after coming to the Human Realm. I met Vignette a bit earlier."
"Gabriel more recently."
"Eh!?"
Hearing Satania, Vignette's eyes widened involuntarily, and even Gabriel was slightly stunned.
Why say it like that!
Did Satania tell this ordinary human their true identities?
They were studying abroad in the Human Realm, not allowed to casually use powers or reveal their true identities.
That was the rule of Demon Realm and Heaven Realm.
Causing a disturbance in the Human Realm would lead to repatriation and re-education upon return.
"Satania!"
Vignette grew anxious inside and explained to Lin:
"Don't misunderstand, her wording is a bit off."
"You know Satania, uh, she looks like a typical human chuunibyou."
"Yeah, chuunibyou."
"Vignette..."
Watching the somewhat flustered Vignette explain, Gabriel was speechless—this was like protesting too much.
None of them noticed an invisible concealment power centered on the four, influencing the surrounding pedestrians.
