The show can’t be held either.”

Natsume Naoki coughed slightly when he heard this, and seemed a little unnatural: "I went early not just for... besides, that guy Hayato insisted on dragging me to see it, don't blame me."

"I have written this sentence down, and I will tell Kitahara-san everything in front of Tohsaka-senpai tomorrow."

"Hey, that's not how you use a borrowed knife to kill someone."

Asai's figure appeared at the door of the bathroom, with a harmless look on his face: "Why kill someone with a borrowed knife? It's just a message."

Natsume Naoki raised his hand, signaling his surrender. Asai was now slightly satisfied, put away his slightly artificial harmless look, and became an indifferent maid again.

"You were out for so long, what on earth were you doing?"

"Can I understand that this is checking the whereabouts?" Natsume Naoki looked at Asai and smiled, took out his mobile phone and clicked: "It's like the behavior of a little girlfriend who calls to check the whereabouts of her boyfriend at any time."

"loquacious."

"If you want to know, let's make an exchange." Natsume Naoki suddenly said seriously: "Tell me the truth, did you know Amamiya Konma before?"

"do not know."

Asai answered quickly, as if he was lying casually, and extremely perfunctory.

But Natsume Naoki immediately nodded, expressing his belief.

"That's weird." He murmured, and then looked at Asai: "I just followed their car for a while, and then deliberately showed my face in front of Amamiya Konma."

"What do you mean?" Asai frowned, "Didn't you meet during the day today?"

"That's the problem," Natsume Naoki snapped his fingers: "When I met him during the day, he asked me if I had seen him before. When we were in the bedroom just now, I suddenly felt that something was not right here."

Asai is very smart, and he understood what Natsume Naoki meant just by hearing these two sentences.

What was originally a one-on-one relationship is now a conversation between two smart people.

"So you created a chance encounter?" Asai asked.

"It doesn't count. I just showed up to see how Amamiya Konma would react when he suddenly saw me." Natsume Naoki narrowed his eyes and asked mysteriously: "What do you think?"

"He was surprised."

"Yes, he got out of the car without even holding an umbrella, shouted at me, 'Who are you?', and then I hid in the alley and came back from the road."

Asai nodded thoughtfully, and after a long while, pointed to the bathroom.

"Go take a shower and think about other things when you wake up tomorrow. You just need to ensure your sleep now and don't worry about anything else."

Aunt Natsume had repeatedly told her that it was best to return the fragments at night. If not, she must make sure to sleep immediately after returning the fragments. The quality of her sleep must be good.

Because some accidents are likely to occur when returning the fragments, mostly due to interference from other fragments.

For example, returning [stamina] fragments may cause backlash such as a short-term severe pain in the head and inability to think, or a period of extremely bad luck. The better the quality of sleep, the smaller the backlash.

The principle of backlash is that the body needs time to adapt after the [fragments] are returned. During that time, other attributes will be unstable. A lot of rest can allow the body to adapt to the changes in the best possible condition.

If it goes badly, it will be confusing for a day or two. If it goes well, as long as the sleep quality is good enough, there will not even be any discomfort.

So after returning the physical fragments, Asai watched Natsume Naoki very nervously, fearing that something would go wrong with him, but nothing happened in the end. This made Asai think that the quality of his sleep that night was very good, so he minimized the backlash.

But what Asai didn’t know was that on the night of returning the [Physical Strength Fragments], Naoki Natsume almost dyed the ceiling white to pay homage to the classic Devilman plot.

If she knew, she might not know whose body the last unknown fragment belonged to, but she might be able to deduce what the last fragment represented from the backlash.

Tonight, the [Fragment of Comprehension] on Amamiya Chizuru's body was returned to him, and Asai was actually worried that something might happen to him.

Natsume Naoki didn't know this, so she just thought she was overthinking it. After taking a shower, she looked at her game and found that there were so many loopholes and areas for improvement. Why did it feel so natural to her before?

"Forget it, it won't happen overnight. After tomorrow's demonstration, if any company is willing to change it, let's just overthrow it and make 2.0 again if no one wants it... It's strange, why didn't I find it before? I obviously checked it.

Many times, here, here and here, in fact, they can all be optimized..."

Natsume Naoki yawned, turned off the laptop, put it aside, and fell asleep.

The next day, what Asai was worried about still happened.

Natsume Naoki caught a bad cold.
