Hagakure Sakura Does Not Lament

But he had been in the hotel room because Toono left first, so it had been a long time since he’d been home. …Well, he deliberately didn’t go home because he didn’t want to go home alone to a deserted, empty house.

Thinking about such things, Tsugumi let out a sigh and slumped his shoulders.

“Ah, there are ten days left for summer vacation. …This is bad, I haven’t made any progress in my studies at all.”

Unlike Chidori, who was aiming for a difficult university, Tsugumi planned to take an average university nearby, so he didn’t have to study hard, but it was bad not to study at all during a long vacation.

“Maybe I’ll bow down to Yukitaka later and ask him to make a study plan for me. …My body feels so heavy.”

He blurted out, taking off his military uniform on the floor, and after undoing the transformation, he lay down on his bed as if he had deflated.

If Bell saw his current appearance, he might get angry with him for being sloppy. But without Bell’s nagging, it would be so lonely so he felt complicated.

Tsugumi stared at the clock in his room, thinking that he wouldn’t be in good shape without Bell.

“There’s still some time before Chidori comes back. …I’m not really interested, but let’s take a look at the reaction to [Gluttony] that Yamabuki-san mentioned.”

Tsugumi lazily raised himself up after saying that and opened the computer on the desk.

The mouth of a black beast that hadn’t been exposed until now–He wondered what the world thought of the existence of the [Gluttony] skill.

Well, he didn’t really care what people think, but it would be a bit troublesome if it affected Hagakure Sakura’s future activities.

Is there anyone here who was able to see the predation scene in the example video?

The one where the black object that appeared in the river swallowed the Dragon?

There’s been a lot of talk about this, but I don’t see any footage of it anywhere.

No matter how you look at it, it’s a spectacular fishing expedition.

I know the Dragon disappeared as soon as it landed in the river, but there was no black mouth.

Maybe it’s a hoax? Or a collective hallucination?

I think one person told a horror story and everyone got in on it. It’s just like the Samejima Incident.

It’s about time the government got mad at the hoaxers. Is the person who said he could see a black mouth okay? Isn’t he going to get banned?

～The controversy that denied the existence of the black mouth continued for a while.

…Other people really can’t see it.

That’s more surprising to me.

By the way, I can see it. If you have any questions, I’ll answer them.

Any proof?

I don’t have any. Because I see things differently from you guys, there’s no way to prove it.

Yes, dismissed. That was a waste of time.

568: 564.

I mean, why can’t you guys see that thing? It’s such a clear image.

Huh? Are you trying to stir things up? If we could see it, we’d want to see it, too.

I don’t care if it’s a lie or not, but what did it look like to >564?

Let’s talk about it anyway.

571:564

In a nutshell, here’s what it looked like

The burning Dragon fell

↓

A shadow that look like the mouth of a black beast appeared in the river. It opened its big mouth.

↓

Dragon fell into the black mouth.

↓

Return to the surface of the water without a single ripple.

Maybe you guys don’t see 2 and 3 in this?

That’s kind of annoying, but you’re right.

There are also accounts that post pictures, but do you see >564 the same way?

The comments on the picture are “This is exactly what I was thinking!” and “It’s too perfect (lol)”.

I wonder how many people are actually seeing this.

To be honest, I still think it’s a massive fishing expedition, but with so many eyewitness testimonies, I’m starting to get worried.

But the fact that the government still hasn’t officially denied it makes me think they’re serious.

If it’s not a mass hallucination, maybe it’s a system that only those who meet the conditions can see it.

See, it happens all the time in comic books and such. You know, the kind of phantoms that only people on the verge of death can see.

582:564

No, that’s not a beautiful phantom. If you look at it for a long time, it looks like it’s going to make you lose your sanity.

But I think I’ve seen something like it somewhere.

583: Anonymous

Yeah…?

Do you recognize that thing that looks like it’s going to cut down your sanity just by looking at it? Wouldn’t that be worse?

584: Anonymous

Most likely you saw it in a Cthulhu Mythos book. I’m sure there are plenty of black tentacled creatures around.

585: Anonymous

I didn’t post this before because people would think I was lying anyway, but a friend of mine saw the black mouth.

They said that it was a big version of the black shadow thing that Hagakure-san sometimes used that swallowed the Dragon like this.

I guess that might have something to do with it.

My Grandpa is saying the same thing.

I didn’t really believe him because he was suffering from dementia, but this sounds serious.

So you’re telling me that Hagakure-san created that awful Cthulhu black mouth…?

That was also part of the meal…? (Confused)

No matter how much she eats, it’s still a pity to treat it that way.

590: Anonymous

But now that you put it that way, it’s true that the imagery is similar to Hagakure-san’s skills.

The effect between smoke and shadow is especially similar.

591: 564.

Oh no, I just watched the video again after you said that, and I noticed that on the bridge on the right side, you can see someone who looks like Hagakure-san.

And I think she’s staring at the river.

…Could it be we have arrived at the hidden truth?

What, but isn’t that the thing from Hagakure-san’s buff skill that costs self-injury as the price?

>>Buff skill

At least that’s what we saw against Radon.

I’ve never seen it attack a Demonic Beast before.

Come to think of it, the way the black mouth ate without making a mess was just like Hagakure-san (laughs).

Hagakure-san eats at a fast pace, but her movements are so beautiful.

She must have been raised well.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if there was such a secret, since Hagakure-san’s growth rate is quite fast. Maybe it’s a skill like the more you eat, the stronger you get?

609: Anonymous

I don’t care if it were another Magical Girl, but strangely enough, because it’s Hagakure-san, the image of “food” is directly connected to her, so it doesn’t feel so strange that she’s a predator of Demonic Beast.

610: A Anonymous

Well, in the ranking of the lines that Hagakure-san would say, “Will that Demonic Beast become edible if it’s roasted?” ranks high on the list of the most likely lines to be uttered by Hagakure-san.

611: Anonymous

It’s true, she’s a Magical Girl, so it’s not surprising that she has those skills.

The picture is very grotesque, but it’s not like she’s the one eating it. It’s just the skill that eats it.

Wait a minute. I have no idea why some people can see the video and others can’t?

It’s already troublesome, so you should wait until the government officially announces it (appropriate)

Seeing this sequence of events, Tsugumi quietly closed his computer and opened his mouth with a serious look.

“No, yeah. I guess it’s better than being rejected, but is that the image the world has of Hagakure Sakura? Eh, it’s plain shocking.”

Just looking at the threads, it felt like she was just a gluttonous character. Tsugumi thought he had been acting cool, dressed up and ladylike. He didn’t understand it at all.

“But well, if it’s not a big problem, it doesn’t matter. I’ve explained my skills to the government, so I’m sure they’ll take care of the rest.”

Given the state of the threads, he didn’t think that disclosing the effects of [Gluttony] would be that much of a fuss.

He had a feeling that her characterization of being gluttonous would accelerate, but there was nothing he could do about it so he gave up on that. It should be much better than being dismissed as a heretic.

Thinking so, Tsugumi rested his chin. While he was in England, he paid a lot of attention to his posture, so he felt very comfortable here thinking that he didn’t have to worry about anything for a while.

While relaxing his body, Tsugumi opened his mouth in a whisper while staring vaguely out of the window.

“Come to think of it, the period should be over by now. I wonder where Bell-sama is right now.”

The moment Tsugumi said that, he felt a popping sensation behind him. With a start, he turned back to where the bed was.

“–It looks like you’ve had a lot of trouble. Huh, it’s stupid to get involved with a country where heartless people gather.”

“…Bell-sama?”

A body like a black cat and a tail like a lizard. It fluttered its wings like a dragonfly—Tsugumi’s God was there.
