Heaven
“Phew… thank goodness Ethan’s request to retain his memories was approved.”
Gabriel finally relaxed.
“After all, Mr. Ethan is the first awakened person in that world. Of course he’d receive special attention,” Raphael said with a gentle angelic smile.
👼
Gabriel nodded.
“It’s unbelievable that an awakened person appeared in the human world at this time.”
“‘One in ten thousand’ doesn’t even begin to describe it. It shouldn’t have been possible yet.”
Raphael had a guess.
“Maybe it’s because that world has connected with another dimension.” 🌀
“Didn’t your sister go there to negotiate? Any news?”
Gabriel shook her head.” Not much.
I only heard that world has a lot of dragons.”
“Dragons… now those are fascinating creatures.”
“Hm? Fascinating?”
“Haha, you misheard, little Gab. I meant dangerous.”
…
The Next Day
Ethan woke up and left his bedroom.
He was about to wash up and take care of urgent business when he saw Mai stepping out of the bathroom.
Her face turned red.
She was wearing her school uniform again, freshly dried but still wrinkled.
She cleared her throat and pointed toward the living room.
“I saw ingredients in your fridge, so I made breakfast.” 🍳
“No wonder it smelled so good when I woke up. Thanks.”
After thanking her, he brushed past and went into the bathroom.
The door shut.
The sound of running water echoed inside.
Mai’s face flushed even deeper, and she hurried away.
After breakfast, Ethan called Shizuka Hiratsuka and asked for leave.
[Ding! Kato Megumi has joined the chat group!] 🔔
[Ding! Ayame Yomogawa has joined the chat group!] 🔔
“… ”
The names made Ethan pause, but what caught his attention more was his personal notification.
[Ding! As the group owner, you have gained a new permission: Subgroup!] 🔑
“Subgroup?”
Subgroup: As the group owner, you may grant subgroup access to others.
Note: Subgroup members can view information and conduct trades, but cannot speak.
“Whoa. That’s a thing?”
Ethan couldn’t help being surprised.
“Are we expanding the ‘user base’ now?”
He immediately thought of people around Saeko like Rei Miyamoto and Saya Takagi.
Potential trading gold mines.
At most, it would probably mean trading usage rights to their bodies.
But hey, that was exactly his thing.
😏
He was just a regular guy who enjoyed a bit of sensual pleasure.
Getting stronger was partly for that too.
Meanwhile, in the chat group—
Kato Megumi: “Um… I think I just saw Ethan’s name.”
Megumi had been on her way to school when she suddenly joined the chat group.
After grasping what it was, she was stunned.
She never imagined something like this would happen to her.
And…
Not only did she see the group owner named Ethan, she also saw strange conversations in the chat history.
A girl moving into his house, and… trading body usage rights?
“Is it really Mr. Ethan?” 😳
Megumi murmured at her doorway.
Ethan: “Megumi, it’s me.”
He was just as surprised that she’d joined.
Kato Megumi: “…”
After confirming the group owner really was Ethan, she didn’t know whether to feel happy or something else.
That body-trade record kept glaring at her.
And the chat logs with Saeko Busujima confirmed it.
Ethan really had slept with her.
“… ”
Megumi unconsciously clenched her fist.
But in the chat group, she showed nothing.
Kato Megumi: “Are you going to school today, Mr. Ethan?” 💬
Ethan: “I took the day off. I’m going to the mall to buy clothes for Mai Sakurajima, who’s temporarily staying at my place.”
Kato Megumi: “Oh… that Mai Sakurajima.”
After saying that, she took out her phone.
Mai had just been wondering about Megumi and Ethan’s exchange when someone else asked first.
Stella: “Someone else joined the chat group?!”
She’d thought only the five of them were special.
Apparently not.
Stella: “@Ethan, you seem really familiar with the newcomer named Kato Megumi.”
Akame: “It sounds like he’s talking to a comrade.”
Saeko Busujima: “Friend might be more accurate.”
Ethan: “Megumi really is my classmate. And my friend.”
Mai Sakurajima: “I see.”
She found herself taking a second look at Ethan.
It seemed their relationship was more than just casual.After seeing his name, the other girl hadn’t questioned anything at all.
Frieren: “Why hasn’t the other newcomer said anything?”
The other newcomer…Ayame Yomogawa.
“The only thing Ethan could think of was ironclad trains fighting armored zombies.”🚂
Ethan: “If she’s not talking, she’s probably busy. I’m logging off too.”
“…..”
