After arriving and separating with Kotori Miku at the Aven Towers which is where their residence is in, Feng Ye and Chu Feng first get Wu Ya who is in her room. The trio meet up and head to the city. Very early on, Feng Ye had received a text from Haruta and the others to meet up at a restaurant. Coincidentally, this restaurant was the one that Akimichi had brought Feng Ye for during the welcome dinner.

Thus, Chu Feng and Feng Ye already knew how to get to the sushi place. Like a fish in the water, the trio soon see the outline of the large sushi restaurant around four floors high. It is decorated with quite amount of flashing lights and seems to be very busy.

A waitress welcomes them as they enter. “Hello. Welcome. How many people?”

Chu Feng answers, “Ah, we already have a table reserved by Haruta.”

“Alright. Let me find which table that would be.” The waitress answers. A few moments later after scrolling and checking for the table on her tablet she directs the three to the third floor.

“Follow me.”

The three head upstairs and quickly find Haruta and the others who greet them. A pile of a variety different types of sushi are covering the huge table.

“Would you three also be doing the meal types?” The waitress inquiries.

“Yep.” Feng Ye answers. Noting this down, the waitress begins to inquire if the trio wanted any drinks, etc. After doing so, she quickly heads off to wait another table.

Feng Ye, Wu Ya, and Chu Feng quickly integrate themselves with Haruta and the others and begin to order a variety of dishes using a tablet specifically for ordering. A merry atmosphere immediately is present as discussions regarding topics at sixes and sevens things are exchanged.

At this time the discussion topic quickly arrives at the events occurring earlier today. Wu Ya seemed to have already filled Haruta and the others in on what had occurred at the pool deck area. Naturally, due to this, Haruta and the others were also surprised that Feng Ye was unexpectedly an esper.

Thus, of course, this topic related to Feng Ye was brought up. Feng Ye early had expected that him being an esper would be known. A simple look at the Kami Institute forums would also show topics related to it. Unfortunately, at the time, there were simply too many onlookers like Wu Ya and the group of evacuating swimmers. Thus, thinking back to his discussion with Akeno, Akeno most likely realized this point. Therefore, she wanted to send him and the others away from the action for some time which is why his trip to Aichi prefecture was approved.

At this time, Chu Feng began to describe his pitiful experience.

“Interestingly, it was two attacks. You did well to not be pounded into a meat patty!” Patting Chu Feng’s shoulder, Haruta praises.

“It also seems that you and Feng Ye had brought the attention of the higher levels as well.” Akihiko analyzes.

Yotsuba nods at this time. “Right, if it’s alright to ask, what happened there?”

Wu Ya quickly interrupts, “We probably shouldn’t ask them.”

Feng Ye signals with his hand that it’s alright. “We will need to be rather cautious as it will become rather dangerous even in the Kami Institute. Things are turbulent under the surface. We have to seriously be at the right place at the right time. You know, as if we aren’t what happens if someone wants to silence the witness to a crime?”

Hss. The group has a chill as this heavy warning is dropped.

“Though, as long as we don’t wander randomly..it should be alright.” Feng Ye adds.

“Right, also. We have gained permission to attend the concert in Aichi prefecture. We will be leaving soon so make sure to pack lightly haha.” Feng Ye continues as he tries to switch the topic.

“Nice! Great work!” Haruta cheers. Along with this statement, the group’s atmosphere lightens and becomes more cheerful. At this time Wu Ya takes a look at the nearby Chu Feng closely.

“Hey Chu Feng, your eyes are different. What happened?” Wu Ya inquiries. This brought the attention of the others all around the table.

Haruta after looking at Chu Feng drops the sushi he was holding as he becomes startled by the interesting Yin Yang symbol rotating in Chu Feng’s pupil.

“D*mn! Chu Feng did you do some kind of pupil surgery?!” Haruta questions. Nearby Yotsuba rolls his eyes.

Chu Feng shakes his head. “I was told that I have awakened and now am an esper. Do you believe?”

Besides Feng Ye, the group is completely surprised. Haruta and Wu Ya’s mouths were open so wide you could fit an egg inside. Akihiko and Yotsuba didn’t show an expression as dramatic, however, their brows and eyes have given away their startled feelings.

“Though..besides seeing some random weird gloomy ghosts...I’m not sure what it can do..” Chu Feng depressingly explains.

“Ghosts…?” Haruta shows a terrified expression. Chu Feng also bitterly smiles.

“Yeah..it creeps me out. I hope there is some way to dispel them. Like what happens if one day one of these randoms follow me home? Any suggestions? Like ghost warding talisman or ghost repellent?” Chu Feng continues followed by a series of inquiries.

Besides Feng Ye, the group hearing Chu Feng’s description and series of question is more unsettled.

Haruta at this point is shivering. “Follow us home?” With his eyes wide, he looks behind him and sees nothing.

Feng Ye interjects at this time. “There should be no need to worry. To be honest, these ghosts shouldn’t be able to affect you. In addition, the institute should already be aware of such. According to the composition of most ghost, they thrive off Yin energy. Thus, I’m pretty sure the Kami Institute has protections and warding mechanisms in place. Do remember, we are in an esper research city.”

Hearing Feng Ye’s analysis, the group calms down. At this time Chu Feng inquiries, “Do you think there’s any way to turn this off? Kind of unsettling to see a bunch of wandering spirits floating about with stiff faces.”

Helpless to Chu Feng’s inquiry, Feng Ye shakes his head. “You’ll have to try to figure out the limits of your ability. I would recommend writing out a list of ideas and possible use cases and trying to see if they are applicable. Try testing parameters with a scientific approach like if you can shut it off, turn it back on, increased focus, or even affect these ghosts...”

Chu Feng sighs.

Haruta interjects at this time. “So, do you see anything around here like right now?”

Chu Feng smiles. “No, I haven’t seen any around this area, though, while on the vehicle to the Aven Institute of Technology, I had seen a few.”

“Ah alright.” Haruta says and continues to finish up the huge sushi plate in the centre of the table.

A few hours later, the group had finished up and paid the bill and were ready to split ways to their respective residences. Chu Feng , Feng Ye, and Wu Ya had to head back to Aven Tower, while Haruta and the others had to go a different route to their residences which are closer to Kami Institute.

“We’ll see you later. We can call soon and sort out the travel stuff for the Aichi prefecture trip.” Akihiko waves and states.

“Sure, see you later.” Feng Ye nods. Chu Feng and Wu Ya also wave farewell.

Haruta brings Akihiko and Yotsuba to start on their respective journey back.

Feng Ye also begins to walk with Chu Feng and Wu Ya back to Aven Tower. However, an unexpected meeting occurs while on the way.

“Chu Feng?” A girl with glasses who had seemed to be following Feng Ye and the others suddenly inquires.
