Chapter 67 - Chapter 67 (Bonus chap)

"Alright! We're here!"

I shouted out with arms outstretched in the air as we arrived at my refurbished home.

The camera at the front gate scanned my face briefly before the automated gates slid open to welcome me home.

"Home sweet home!" I laughed as I strolled in..

Kiana took a deep breath as she took in the place as well. 

"Ah!!! Sweet snacks! 5090! Here I come!" And then she rushed in after me excitedly, leaving a trail of dust behind her.

Behind, however, Bronya and Mei were frozen as they looked up at the massive building.

"Gojo's house seems a bit bigger than last time?" Mei took a few steps forward, dragging her luggage behind her. "Did he add a wing to the place?"

Bronya scanned through the front of the building from left to right, her eyes stopping at the water fountain. Project Bunny 19C which carried the vast majority of all of their luggage was standing behind her.

"The Bronya has never been here before. However, suspicions that Subject Gojo robbed Fort Knox has increased dramatically."

"Didn't he tell us that he trades stocks? You do that as well right?" Mei asked as she turned back to look at the gray haired girl.

Bronya slumped down. "The Bronya is unfortunately not as skilled as Gojo…"

"SKILL ISSUE!!"

One of her eyes twitched.

"The Bronya will incinerate Idiotka's belongings!"

Mei just laughed as Kiana ran back and immediately started arguing with Bronya again. I, on the other hand, was standing in front of my front door which towered over even my height of 183cm.

I placed my finger on the keypad of my front door. A quick scan later, a green light shone.

"Welcome home."

A speaker bleeped out from the keypad.

Huh…

That's new.

I didn't even know I asked for that.

Going into the house, I sent Kiana and the others to the extra rooms I had. 

I don't know why I got so many rooms in this house while I was getting people to build it back then though. I guess I just thought that I would have guests over at some point?

Meh

Guess it comes in handy now.

As I changed my clothes into a loose T-shirt, ready to relax and get ready for a gaming session with Kiana and Bronya, I went to the living room to set up the Homustation…

Only to freeze when I saw an unfamiliar woman sitting on the sofa.

The woman wore a crimson suit that clung to her body tightly. Armour was attached to certain parts of this suit however, clearly meant to enhance strength and protect limbs.

Several blue wires connected around the suit, pulsing with faint energy…

Without a doubt, I knew that this was armour meant for combat…

Though I will say… it looks kinda sus to me.

The most striking thing about her for me however was her long, fiery red hair, tied behind her head. Her eyes were orange, as her gaze shifted over to me, letting me see clearly that she was Japanese. Her arms were holding on to a tablet that had some familiar images…

Oh yeah, did I mention she had a broadsword next to her?

Just a teeny detail, but one that needed to be described.

The woman looked at me with amused eyes as her legs were crossed on the sofa.

In response, I just walked over, causing her to tense a bit.

And then…

I just sat down on the sofa and grabbed the remote.

"Are you here to try and sell insurance, old lady?" I switched on the TV.

"... Old… lady?"

The woman's face immediately paled as any and all composure disappeared in an instant.

"Yea…" I muttered, reaching for snacks on the table, but sighing when I realised that I haven't restocked yet. "I don't know how you MLM people levelled up enough to get into houses though…"

"MLM agent…" 

The woman took a deep breath and closed her eyes as she calmed herself down. When she opened them once more, I could tell that she had steeled herself.

"Gojo Satoru. That is your name, correct?"

I answered dully. "Sheesh. Insurance people are even investigating personal info nowadays. Aren't you scared of a lawsuit, Mrs…"

"Mrs?" Her eyes twitched. "I'm not married yet, kid."

"Could've fooled me."

"Listen here Gojo Satoru." Her voice became colder as she lowered her tablet. "I'm not here to play games with you-"

"Duh. You're trying to sell me stuff"

She put a hand on her head.

"... I can't tell if you're stupid or just being intentionally obtuse…"

"Why can't it be both?"

Hmm… the TV seemed to not be working that well. I hope that the wifi wasn't having issues right now.

The red-haired lady was left speechless.

However, she had some sort of mission here and she knew it, so she forced herself to regain her composure again.

"My name is Murata Himeko and I'm from the Far East Branch of Schicksal-"

I kept pressing on the TV buttons as I gave a brief side glance at her. "Never heard of that company." 

"-We have reports that show that you showed supernatural abilities in public. These same reports also showed that you have an unclear relationship with Raiden Mei who coincidentally…"

Her eyes gleamed

"Has powers related to lightning… You can't pretend to play dumb knowing that, can you?"

My gaze turned serious as I looked at her.

That made her smile, but that smile disappeared soon enough considering…

"Himeko. If you're looking for a cosplay area, then you can go to Akihabara or something. Nagazora isn't really the place for that."

She looked at me dully.

"You can't be serious…" She sighed. "I think I'm going to just put you under arrest first and question you later…"

"Ooh… you're even speaking like a chuuni I know too!" I remarked. I shifted my body towards her as I leaned my head on my chin with a smile. Pointing a finger at her, I said, "But, if you really want me to be serious then…"

Any and all emotion left my visage.

"Dismantle"
