Eri wasn’t quite sure how she had left the Yukinoshita residence.
Falling in a client’s bathroom was embarrassing enough—but toppling onto a little boy in the process?
Even now, recalling the strange sensations that had coursed through her body at that moment, the mature woman’s cheeks flushed slightly.
“He’s just a child…
Could it be that as women age, their preferences change?”
Pressing a hand to her rapidly beating chest, Eri couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
“I’ll head to the nearest shopping mall…”
Starting her car, she drove toward the closest department store.
She still had other cases to handle later—but first, she needed to change her clothes…

The Next Day
Shuchi’in Elementary School
“Ding!
Host has checked in at Shuchi’in.
Obtained ability: [LV1.
Frenzied Barrage]!”
[LV1.
Frenzied Barrage]
Anything you shoot gains critical hit properties.
With each consecutive shot, speed and power double!
(Effect limited to first seven shots.)
Seven times in one night?
More than enough…
As usual, Kouma’s mind immediately went to the gutter.
But soon, he realized the ability’s true potential.
Firearms.
Not that kind of hot weapon—actual guns!
A pistol whose first seven bullets could critically strike while doubling in power each time? Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
The destructive force might rival artillery shells.
“Guns are relatively easy to obtain in this world…
I should get a few for emergencies.”
But before that…
“I should learn archery.”
After all, throughout history, archers were always the most overpowered!
With his current strength and a good bow, Kouma estimated his arrows could easily surpass small firearms in power.
The only concern was accuracy.
“Does the elementary school even have an archery club?”
He went straight to ask Teacher Kobayashi.
“Kouma-kun, you’re still too young.
The archery club only accepts third-years and above!”
Defeated, Kouma left the staff room—only to immediately ask Ayumi for the archery club’s location.
This was the first time he’d actively spoken to her.
Though she didn’t know either, she could mobilize her two loyal followers.
At their goddess’s command, the boys quickly tracked down the club’s whereabouts.
“The archery club is in the first-floor third classroom of the activity building…”
Panting heavily, the two followers watched as Ayumi proudly reported back to Kouma—only to freeze in shock.
…
Noon
Using [LV1.
Invisibility], Kouma sneaked into the archery dojo.
After testing the bows briefly, he shook his head.
“No good.
Too light—the draw weight for elementary schoolers is pitiful.”
A casual pull sent the string bending into a full moon.
“Even standard bows would be inadequate…
Guess I’ll need a custom order.” Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
“Might as well eat lunch first.”
…
High School Rooftop
Miko Yotsuya carefully fed the little boy seated in her lap, bite by bite, from her lunchbox.
Initially, Kouma had tried to refuse—but nestled against a beautiful girl’s soft warmth, the comfort proved irresistible.
“Miko-nee, if this keeps up, I’ll forget how to eat on my own.”
He spoke lazily, reclining against her.
“It’s fine!
Kouma-kun is amazing!”
Miko’s cheeks reddened slightly as she answered earnestly.
She truly believed Kouma was incredible.
In every way…
After lunch, Kouma inquired about her progress with [Psychic Exorcism].
At this, Miko grew visibly excited.
Ever since acquiring the ability, evil spirits no longer seemed terrifying.
“I’ve eliminated so many at school these past two days!”
“The only problem is some fly too high—I can’t reach them!”
Her tone carried a hint of regret.
“Then…
does Miko-nee want to improve further?”
The little boy’s youthful face curved into a smile as he met her gaze.
Instantly, Miko’s fair complexion flushed crimson.
Her slender fingers fidgeted nervously.
“I…
I do…”
Progress required frequent communication.
Kouma, too, was curious—just how far could Miko advance through dual cultivation?
Soon, his newly acquired ability found use atop the rooftop—a classic setting in certain special works.
