In Academy City, the Paradise Project begins.

Page 186

Higashino Yu smiled silently, his arms tightening unconsciously as he felt the soft touch of the girl in his arms.

"Um……"

Frenda, seemingly startled by his movements, whimpered in dissatisfaction and rubbed against his arm, searching for a more comfortable position. Her soft hair brushed against his chin, causing a slight tickle.

Higashino Yu lowered his head, intending to use the dim light coming in from the window to look at her sleeping face, and then use a little "movement" to wake her up.

However, just as he was preparing to do something...

A power that made his heart tremble spread out from afar without warning, instantly sweeping across the entire room and even the entire Academy City!

Higashino Yu's pupils shrank sharply. He didn't even have time to think about the specific source and purpose of this power before he was swept over by it!

He felt that this force was affecting him, but he subconsciously used his ability to block it, so it didn't take effect.

"...?"

Higashino Yu's tense nerves slowly relaxed, but his brows furrowed deeply.

"What's going on? What was that power? It wasn't aggressive, but what was that dangerous feeling I had just had..."

He muttered to himself, cautiously sensing his surroundings.

Everything in the room was as usual, and Frenda was still sleeping soundly. Outside the window, the outline of the city gradually became clear in the dim light of dawn.

That force seemed to have simply passed by, without causing any physical damage or obvious energy disturbance.

"Tsk, disturbing my peaceful sleep... But it's a really special feeling, is it magic?"

Higashino Yu shook his head. Although it was strange, he didn't care about things that seemed to have no effect on him.

Anyway, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. If the magic side really launches some large-scale magic attack on Academy City, the first one to have a headache will definitely be that hanging man.

Higashino turned his attention back to the warm "pillow" in his arms. Since there was no immediate problem, he decided to wake up the sleepy Frenda first.

Although last night was indeed a bit tiring, weren't you enjoying it too? I was the one who did all the hard work! I'm up so early this morning, how did you manage to sleep, Frenda!

Morning exercise is a must, so get up now!

He looked down at Frenda's little head buried in his chest, preparing to wake her up in a little special way.

"Frenda, it's time to rise..."

The actions and words were only halfway through when they abruptly stopped.

Because the face that lifted from the covers, with its sleepy eyes and grumbling expression, was very strange!

That's not Frenda's familiar face!

It was a completely unfamiliar girl's face!

She had long pink hair, a small nose, and a pair of sleepy, wet eyes looking at him with confusion and a slight annoyance at being woken up.

At this moment, he realized that the touch of the girl in his arms had changed. Putting aside everything else, the full curves were not the same as the feel of Flanda before.

"Hmm... Higashino?"

The unfamiliar girl rubbed her eyes, her voice hoarse from just waking up, but completely different from Frenda's voice.

"You, um, why are you still inside... so early in the morning..."

Higashino Yu was instantly dumbfounded, not because of the girl's remark, but because he was wondering how the huge Frenda had turned into a strange pink-haired girl in the blink of an eye.

He skillfully withdrew, then stood up and yanked off the thin blanket covering the two of them!

What he saw forced him to face reality: the delicate body in his arms was no longer Frenda's petite and slender figure.

Instead, there was a girl who was equally slender, but whose figure and height were far superior to Frenda's!

Her long pink hair was scattered messily on the pillow, and everything had changed!

"Frenda?"

Although Higashino had already guessed this situation, the source of the power that made his heart palpitate just now was, without a doubt, the fallen angel. No wonder it gave him a magical feeling.

"You... what do you look like?"

"Ok?"

Perhaps because of Higashino's withdrawal, the unfamiliar girl finally came to her senses, blinking her big eyes in confusion and reaching out to touch her slightly flushed cheeks.

"What do I look like? What's wrong? Higashino, are you still half asleep?"

She pouted, giving him a "you're making a fuss over nothing" look.

"Could it be because I was too tired last night? But that doesn't make sense, I'm so energetic this morning..."

Her demeanor, tone of voice, and mannerisms were all Frenda's, but her body had indeed changed.

But the body before me is that of a complete stranger!

At this moment, Higashino was somewhat relieved that he had subconsciously used his ability to protect himself, otherwise it would have been quite troublesome.

But can my abilities influence the aftermath of the angel's fall?

He immediately focused his mind, trying to restore Frenda's original appearance!

A powerful cognitive force instantly enveloped the girl in his arms, and in the blink of an eye, the familiar Frenda reappeared before him!

"what?"

After regaining her original appearance, Frenda seemed to feel a momentary daze, but she didn't pay attention to it. She just rubbed her eyes and gave a cute yawn.

"Huh... Higashino, why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"

Higashino Yu's heart sank.

Because the moment he withdrew his cognitive reconstruction power, that unfamiliar face changed back once again!

In just a few seconds, the girl in his arms transformed from the blonde, blue-eyed Frenda back into the pink-haired, unfamiliar girl!

Frenda herself remained completely oblivious, even starting to complain: "Ugh... I'm so sleepy, can I sleep for another five minutes? Higashino, I want dumplings for breakfast..."

Looking at the girl in his arms, who had a strange appearance but spoke in Frenda's tone, saying "I want to eat dumplings," Higashino Yu felt somewhat helpless.

"An angel... has fallen?! What a troublesome situation."

He muttered to himself and sighed with some distress.

Although Touma Kamijou resolved this incident in the original work, it was actually quite dangerous; if something went wrong, the world could be destroyed.

"Should we take the initiative to resolve this? Besides, Kamijou should be in Academy City, yet his dad still inexplicably caused this incident..."

Higashino looked at Frenda, who had transformed back into a strange young girl in his arms. She was looking at him with a puzzled expression: "Higashino, you're acting strange today? Did you have a nightmare?"

Fortunately... Frenda was replaced by a beautiful girl who looked just as cute. She had long pink hair, a pretty face, and seemed harmless.

If he were to become a burly man picking his toes... Just imagining that scene sent chills down Higashino Yuuki's spine, and he would probably act on it immediately.

"call……"

Higashino let out a long breath, lay back down, and pulled the girl tightly into his arms. He buried his face in her hair, which smelled familiar, and said in a muffled voice:

"It's nothing... just a strange dream."

He tightened his arms.

"It's still early... Let's get some exercise and do some morning workout!"

As for how to solve this damn "fall of angels," I'll go check out the situation on the street later.

Chapter 220 The Strong Man's Blowing and Smoking

After her morning exercise, Higashino Yu, as Frenda had wished, made the dumplings she had mentioned earlier, giving her a good, satisfying meal.

"Higashino, aren't you going to stay a little longer? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Frenda, a pink-haired girl, stood barefoot at the door, looking unfamiliar, wearing a cute nightgown, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

Although Higashino is a bit too energetic, she felt extremely safe with him, a feeling that made her reluctant to leave.

"Well, there are a few things I need to confirm."

Higashino Yu ruffled her hair; it felt wonderful.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Frenda."

"Hmph, you jerk, I won't invite you next time."

Frenda pouted in response, but still had a sweet smile on her face.

"Be careful on the road!"

After bidding a reluctant farewell to Frenda, Higashino Yu began to wander around the Seventh School District.

Higashino Yu's gaze swept over the pedestrians on the street.

A person wearing a Tokiwadai school uniform walked past him. He was a middle-aged man with a stubble face and a bloated figure. The sight of him wearing a Tokiwadai girls' school uniform made Higashino want to wash his eyes. It was just too much to bear.

There are many similar cases, especially when men dress as women, which is more eye-catching, but passersby don't notice anything unusual.

"really……"

Higashino Yu understood. If only Frenda had changed, there might be other possibilities, but since everyone else had also changed, it was undoubtedly a case of fallen angels.

Higashino Yu continued walking calmly, observing the passersby.

A little boy who looked only seven or eight years old was seriously directing a group of "students" dressed in elementary school uniforms to move equipment.

An elderly man with white hair and beard is discussing the latest teenage idol with his companion.

The men wearing disciplinary committee uniforms were burly men in their thirties and forties, and what's more, they were all wearing women's disciplinary committee uniforms.

Faced with these chaotic and tempting uniforms, his lips twitched uncontrollably.

Just as Higashino Yu was passing through a relatively quiet alley, a quarrel caught his attention.

He stopped and looked to the side.

In the alley, three short figures were surrounding a tall figure.

Those three people who surrounded them were clearly three adorable little girls who looked no older than elementary school!

The figure surrounded by them was a "strong man" who was nearly two meters tall, muscular, and wearing a high school girls' uniform skirt!

The burly man's face still wore a panicked expression, which contrasted sharply with his muscular physique.

"puff……"

Higashino Yu almost burst out laughing.

The situation of three little girls bullying a two-meter-tall strong man seems too strange no matter how you look at it.

Although I couldn't use my abilities to see what was underneath, it's probably just a story of three thugs extorting money from a girl or boy.

However, it would be interesting if the burly man surrounded was Mikoto, as she really enjoys doing this kind of thing to teach thugs a lesson.

"Hey! If you know what's good for you, hand over your valuables!"

One of the "little lolis" with pigtails stood with her hands on her hips and said.

"Yes, that's it! Hurry up!"

Another "loli" chimed in.

Although it may seem funny, bullying is something that needs to be addressed.

He stepped into the alley, and the sound of his footsteps, which he didn't try to hide, caught the attention of the "little girls."

"What are you looking at! This is none of your business! Get out of here!"

The little girl who looked like the leader turned around and shouted fiercely at Higashino Yu, trying her best to appear tough.

Higashino Yu: "..."

He felt black lines sliding down his forehead. Being scolded like that by three "elementary school students" was truly an unprecedented experience.

"I said!"

Higashino Yu spoke helplessly, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.

“You little 'kids,' it’s not good to bully others.”

"Who are the children! We..."
