Kuroyukihime dragged her extremely tired body into the hall.
"Agree!"
"Ugh, I'm exhausted!"
Hayasaka Ai and Yuuki Asuna, who were following behind, nodded listlessly.
I was still quite puzzled—
Kaguya Shinomiya, Snow White... they were provoked because of Hikaru Kanzaki, but they had no connection with that guy and felt nothing about him, so they didn't need to suffer like this.
But since they are now a group, they are few in number and have little say in this matter.
We are left with no choice but to make a passive one.
……
"Welcome back!"
Kanzaki Teru looked at the exhausted girls and smiled.
"I'm back, senior!"
When Kanzaki Teru greeted them, only Katsura Kotonoha responded. The other girls merely glanced at Kanzaki Teru before collapsing onto the sofa, completely abandoning any semblance of ladylike behavior.
"Owner!"
Enma Ai respectfully walked to Kanzaki Teru's side and bowed slightly.
"Love, it's been so long! How have you been?"
Kanzaki Teru couldn't resist reaching out and ruffling Enma Ai's little head.
Enma Ai, whose expression had been extremely indifferent, blushed slightly on her face, but it was fleeting and easily mistaken for an illusion if one did not look closely.
"Apart from the occasional mishaps caused by Kotoko, everything else is exactly the same as when Master left."
Kanzaki Teru's tone carried a hint of disappointment and frustration.
As his priestess, Kotoko Iwanaga, the "Wise Priestess" who corresponds to the "Hell Priestess" Enma Ai, naturally possesses exceptional qualities.
She is in no way inferior to Enma Ai, but unfortunately, compared to Enma Ai's efforts, Iwanaga Kotoko is more like a child who is still playing and has not lost her childlike innocence.
During the conversation between Kanzaki Teru and Enma Ai—
Exhausted and feeling weak all over, something interesting happened to Kaguya Shinomiya, Snow White, and the others.
"Give me a black coffee, please!"
Hayasaka Ai said listlessly to the maid beside her.
I only waited a moment—
With a slightly teasing look in Kanzaki Teru's eyes, a maid brought a freshly brewed black coffee to Hayasaka Ai.
"Thank you!"
Hayasaka thanked her, but after taking a sip of the black coffee, she almost spat it out. It was bitter and extremely spicy, and it was the first time she had ever tasted such awful black coffee.
Do not--
To be more precise, it takes a skill to be able to brew black coffee so badly.
"Hahaha... I told you, you barbaric fellow, how could you possibly make something delicious?"
A charming laugh rang out in the hall. It was a somewhat familiar voice, and Kaguya Shinomiya and the others looked closely.
It was a strange maid, covering her mouth and laughing—
Saying she was a stranger isn't quite right. Although she wasn't a maid from the Four Palaces' residence, she couldn't be considered a complete stranger.
They had just met not long ago—
That's right, this maid is none other than the "Time Sprite" Kurumi Tokisaki, who gave them such a huge shock during the day.
At this moment, Tokisaki Kurumi is wearing a white maid outfit. The ordinary maid outfit still perfectly accentuates her elegant figure, giving her a unique charm.
As for the maid who made black coffee for Hayasaka Ai, she was none other than Accelerator, the number one on the [Transcendent Ranking], who was looking quite displeased.
"...Accelerator!"
Upon seeing Accelerator, who had a hostile expression and was dressed in a maid outfit, Hayasaka Ai's face turned slightly pale. She swallowed the mouthful of exceptionally unpleasant black coffee in her mouth, not daring to spit it out.
The battle with Accelerator was still fresh in his mind. He feared that if his opponent, unwilling to accept defeat, lightly touched him, he would instantly suffer a stroke and die from a gushing of blood.
"Accelerator, Kurumi Tokisaki!!!"
Kaguya Shinomiya and the others, who were originally slumped on the sofa exhausted, looked at the two people who were so close to them in disbelief.
It wasn't surprising that the two of them would appear at the Shinomiya residence. After all, it was Kanzaki Teru who had stopped their fight and taken them away. From various perspectives, their appearance at the Shinomiya residence was highly probable.
only--
What the heck are Accelerator and Kurumi Tokisaki dressed as maids?!
You can tell at a glance it's Kanzaki Teru; he's got a really twisted sense of humor!

Chapter 63: Kurumi Tokisaki's Hatred
"Hello, I am Kaguya Shinomiya!"
"Asuna Yuki!"
"Katsura Kotonoha!"
"..."
At Kanzaki Hikaru's prompting, Shinomiya Kaguya and Tokisaki Kurumi and the others had a preliminary introduction. As for Accelerator, he still had that somewhat fierce look, and even though he was wearing a maid outfit, he still gave off a feeling that strangers should not approach him.
When faced with the self-introductions of Kaguya Shinomiya and the others, she simply uttered four words—Accelerator. If these women weren't related to their teacher, Teru Kanzaki, she wouldn't have paid them any attention.
"You will stay at the Shinomiya residence until the summons ends."
Kanzaki Teru announced directly.
Although there is now an extra Kurumi Tokisaki, it is generally a minor matter that does not cause any harm. The previous battles must not be repeated. It is enough to attract some attention.
Upon hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya glanced at the 'noisy and domineering' Kanzaki Teru with displeasure. She was clearly the one in charge. Of course, now that her father, Kaguya Shinomiya, had left, some things were a bit unclear.
Although this is the residence of the Shinomiya family, her father handed over all the rights to the residence to Kanzaki Teru before he left, not to her, his biological daughter. Even if Kanzaki Teru sold the Shinomiya residence in secret, she couldn't say anything about it.
Sometimes, thinking about this would make Kaguya Shinomiya secretly depressed. She really didn't know if she was her biological daughter. Her father, Kanzaki Teru, treated Kanzaki Teru with a level of envy, jealousy, and resentment that even made her, the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, feel.
"...A summons! Qing, you need to get moving."
Kurumi Tokisaki was taken aback at first, but then, after thinking about the details, she smiled and looked on with anticipation.
Kaguya Shinomiya, Asuna Yuuki, Kuroyukihime, and others also remembered what Ai Enma had said earlier. Currently, only she and Accelerator had received the summons from Teru Kanzaki and rushed over. Kurumi Tokisaki, the [Time Spirit], was clearly an exception.
"I've been planning some things for so long that if I don't act quickly, I'm afraid I won't have the courage to give it my all anymore."
Kanzaki Teru gazed at the night sky outside the hall and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya, Asuna Yuuki, Kotonoha Katsura, and the others became curious. They already knew about the 'summoning order,' so the most crucial question was what Kanzaki Hikaru was secretly planning. What was he planning that would make the future Kanzaki Hikaru lose even the courage to risk everything for the future?
"Teacher, we're afraid we can't help you much in this battle."
Although she was punished by her teacher, Kanzaki Teru, for causing a ruckus in the skies above Tokyo, and was forced to wear maid outfits with Tokisaki Kurumi for a week, Accelerator felt more ashamed and angry at his own incompetence than at these trivial matters.
"Your ability to help me cut off those who will come to my way is already the greatest help you can give me."
At that time, countless powerful gods will be attacking. He doesn't expect Accelerator and the others to be able to intercept them all; he only hopes to hold off the gods for a moment so that he can complete his plan.
"Mio, isn't that guy going to help you out?"
Suddenly, Kurumi Tokisaki interjected with a cold laugh, "If she makes a move, those obstacles won't be a problem at all, will they?"
—Mio, ranked third on the [Beauty Ranking]!
—Kanzaki Hikaru's current girlfriend!!!
Completely absorbed in the presence of those around them, Kaguya Shinomiya and the others instinctively pricked up their ears to listen.
"Mio is in seclusion in the [Dimensional Gap] and will not be coming out for some time. Moreover, my original intention is not to rely on its power."
Kanzaki Teru explained.
"Retreat?!"
Kurumi Tokisaki frowned and muttered to herself, "...[Ranking Reward: Kabbalah Tree of Life]..."
Seclusion, Kabbalah Tree of Life, [Dimensional Gap] —
All of this made her instantly realize that the Primal Spirit, Mio, would probably need to use the [Ranking Reward: Kabbalah Tree of Life] to break through and advance to the Other Shore Realm in one fell swoop.
If that's really the case, then my revenge is probably hopeless.
"Kurumi, Sawa has been resurrected, and the cause and effect of your hatred for Mio no longer exists."
Kanzaki Teru offered some words of advice.
"...Indeed, Sawa has been resurrected. Everything is as if nothing ever happened, easily corrected by that guy. But..." Tokisaki Kurumi paused, her eyes fixed on Kanzaki Hikaru, her hands clenched tightly, her voice extremely low, "But, how can I deceive myself and say that nothing happened when I personally killed my best friend and was even controlled like a puppet?!"
"Ugh!"
Kanzaki Teru sighed, knowing that no matter how much he said, he couldn't untangle the knot in Tokisaki Kurumi's heart. Thinking about it, it made sense; if it were anyone else, they would have already broken down and gone insane, let alone given up and forgiven.
The one who tied the knot must untie it.
Mio needs to resolve everything herself. After all, the two were originally close friends, and it's best for him, as an 'outsider,' not to interfere too much, lest he make things worse!

Chapter 64: The Divine Artifact Ranking
Under the azure sky, the scorching sun beat down relentlessly, baking the earth with intense heat.
In the recent period of time—
Apart from the great battle between Accelerator and Kurumi Tokisaki in the skies above Tokyo, the world was outwardly calm. The battle between two Demon Lord-level powerhouses had a significant impact in Japan at most, but it didn't attract much attention from other places or even pantheons.
Of course--
