Why is my Isekai in the Slice of Life anime was become a Horror Story?

Interlude 1-14: Meet Fujiwara Chika and the One Filled with Malice

Fujiwara Chika.

Height: 154cm, with breasts approximately surpassing an E-cup.

She is a second-year student at Shuchiin High School and is a close friend of Shinomiya Kaguya. In fact, it could be said that she is Kaguya's only real friend.

In the original work, this girl has a very unique personality, almost a strange and free-spirited existence. She combines natural innocence with a touch of craftiness and, at times, mischievous destructiveness. Compared to Kaguya, who is quite conservative and traditional, the two are like polar opposites.

Additionally, during the early stages of the story, thanks to her chaotic personality, she earned the title "Cancer of the Earth," causing endless trouble for the main characters. However, as the story progresses, she becomes one of the "victims" of teasing, which is quite interesting.

However, all of this has nothing to do with Takakai at the moment.

Facing the cute, curvaceous girl, Takakai glanced at her briefly and then naturally shifted his gaze away. He looked toward the ramen shop owner, casually ordering a bowl of tonkotsu ramen, then sat down and waited.

As for the cute girl eating ramen not far away, he didn't spare her another look.

Of course, this isn't because Takakai has changed his personality—such a thing is impossible. He has always been a guy with a terrible weakness for beautiful girls, the kind of person who would try to "push down" a girl if she didn't reject a kiss (even though the result is usually getting kicked away). The reason he isn't interested in Fujiwara Chika is that he is certain that he and this girl belong to completely different worlds, a world they can never cross, and there's no need to get involved with her.

His life, now, can only be measured in months. Once he faces a Sacrifice Game dungeon that he can't overcome, even with all the time rewinds left, his life will end, and nothing will continue.

Meanwhile, the girl in front of him is an oujou-sama from a political family, the daughter of a politician, with a life full of privilege and comfort. She is from a completely different world than him. Kaguya and Maki, while similar in some ways, at least share the experience of being players, and that status brings equality, allowing them to cooperate. As for Fujiwara Chika, Takakai can't find any common ground between himself and her to approach, so he has no intention of getting acquainted.

But, like some event branches in a galgame suddenly appearing and forcing the player to face them, even if Takakai doesn't start a conversation, Fujiwara Chika—who has recognized him—will not sit idly by. Her gaze immediately focuses on him.

Takakai feels her gaze. There's no malice, perhaps just curiosity?

Anyway, he had caused quite a stir at Shuchiin before. Thinking back, there were many embarrassing things, but at that time, he couldn't think of anything except meeting Shijo Maki to confirm that she was safe, which would give him peace of mind.

The bowl of ramen was quickly brought out.

"Itadakimasu," Takakai said, then began eating.

His taste is quite mild—no garlic added, and he doesn't prefer his noodles too hard—but he always drinks the soup completely. After eating his fill and feeling refreshed, he paid and prepared to leave. However, just as he turned around, he caught sight of Fujiwara Chika staring at him intensely with a strangely serious expression.

When Takakai entered the shop, the girl's ramen bowl had already been half-finished. Logically, she should have finished and left by now, but she was still sitting in place. Especially her face, filled with anticipation, clearly she was enduring just to wait for the next part of the story.

"Um... Excuse me, are you Shijo-san's boyfriend?"

Perhaps after observing Takakai's interaction with the shop owner and confirming he wasn't some potential threat, the girl, who had been waiting for a while, mustered the courage to move a little closer and asked with curiosity.

'Oppai Dekai.'

Because she was sitting across from him, Takakai's gaze naturally shifted slightly, but he quickly looked away.

"Umu, I'm Maki's boyfriend. My name is Takahashi Takakai."

Without hesitation, Takakai answered Chika's question.

"So blunt... You really are dating, huh. Then I'll call you Takahashi-kun. My name is Fujiwara Chika. By the way, which school are you from? Or are you already working? The scene the other day, when you were hugging Shijo-san at school, became a hot topic in the school!"

It seemed that the mention of romance made Fujiwara Chika's eyes immediately light up, and her voice revealed clear excitement.

"Call me a working adult if you want. I have a job that can't be disclosed, protecting the world in the shadows, shouldering the future of human civilization. Kuhum, just kidding. The way Maki and I met was pretty special. Don't look at me like that. I'm not interested in sharing my story with my girlfriend with outsiders."

Not wanting to engage too much with this girl who seemed to be too interested in love stories, Takakai answered briefly, then coldly left. Inside, he couldn't help but once again marvel at the girl's well-endowed figure.

In the anime series Takakai has watched, he's seen body types like hers before, but in real life, this was the first time.

At first, he didn't feel much, but now, comparing it, both Maki and Kaguya seemed somewhat lacking in this area. Of course, Takakai not really fan of large breasts, so it wasn't important to him.

Compared to bigger sizes, Takakai still found the more modest ones more attractive.

"Ah... I see, what a pity..."

Chika sighed, clearly wanting to ask more, but being the well-mannered girl she was, she didn't chase after Takakai. Instead, she stood there, frowning, thinking about whether she should ask Shijo Maki about this tomorrow at school.

Beep beep

At this moment, Takakai's phone received a message.

Opening it, he saw it was from Maki: "I won't give you a chance!"

Takakai quickly typed a few words in reply, and soon, the two began exchanging text messages.

[Takakai: I just met a schoolmate of yours at a ramen shop. Looks like a lot of people are interested in our relationship.]

[Shijo Maki: You still dare to say that! If it weren't for your hug the other day, how would things have turned out this way!]

[Takakai: That was unavoidable. At that time, I really wanted to meet you. Nothing, not rules or ethics, could stop me in that state. I hope you understand.]

[Shijo Maki: Stop with that "state" of yours! Think about how I feel! By the way, you're out at a ramen shop at this hour? Just had dinner? Was the person you met a man or a woman?]

[Takakai: A girl, Fujiwara Chika. Do you know her?]

[Shijo Maki: Fujiwara's family daughter? She's probably in the game club... Wait a minute, how did you meet her? Did you make an appointment? When did you start getting to know someone other than me and my oba-sama?]

[Takakai: It wasn't planned, just a chance encounter. If she hadn't started talking to me, I wouldn't even have known her name.]

[Shijo Maki: That sounds suspicious. Besides, I haven't even acknowledged you as my boyfriend yet! Hump!]

The kiss is done, the cuddling is done, and the most lewd part, holding hands, is done too, only the last step is missing, yet she still doesn't consider them a couple. This girl's personality is truly difficult to deal with.

Knowing that Maki was just being tsundere, Takakai smiled lightly and didn't take it to heart, then prepared to send a teasing message back.

At this point, he had just stepped out of the ramen shop, texting while walking slowly, still near the store. Behind him, Fujiwara Chika was still inside, saying her goodbyes to the shop owner. It seemed like she had eaten there a few times and was familiar with the owner.

Takakai suddenly sensed a cold feeling behind him.

He stopped in his tracks.

At that moment, a message from Maki arrived.

[There's a clear hostility heading towards me. There might be problems on my side. How about you?]

Before he could reply, Takakai noticed a figure stepping out from an alley ahead.

And he could feel an intense maliciousness radiating from that person.

"Clearly a newcomer, yet refuses to sell admission tickets in the player market. While this is a small chance, I still decided to ask—kid, your first game participation was the Shirakawa Apartment, right?"

A heavily made-up woman with a seductive smile, but an aura of malice like a venomous snake, capable of killing at any moment.

"Hey, Takahashi-san, still haven't left?"

Fujiwara Chika, about to step out of the shop, exclaimed in surprise, only to immediately be shoved back inside by Takakai, her head hitting the ground. Takakai paid no attention to her screams, softly closing the shop door behind him, then grabbed an iron shovel by the door and blocked it. He took a few steps forward, stood in front of the woman, smiled lightly, and said:

"Why don't you try guessing?"
