Face to face with the girl, the familiar feeling arose.
Ralph doesn't know why, but it's as if something really familiar involves some students at this school.
"Do you need anything? Aoi-san." Ralph asked as he looked her straight in the eye.
The girl narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"I felt something really familiar coming from you, do you have any idea what it could be? Karman-San." Aoi asked back.
A tremor shocked Ralph's mind.
-There is something very strange happening ...
Ralph thought.
"Funny, I felt the same way when looking at you, maybe you have any idea what this is?" Ralph smiled and said without looking away.
-... Should I believe him? Doesn't he really know?
Aoi thought as he looked at Ralph.
-Don't tell me that he really has no idea?
"Maybe I know what it is about." She said and nodded with a smile.
The faded smile on Ralph's face and a tired expression emerged.
Aoi was surprised for a moment and said:
"Some problem?"
"Ah, it's nothing, Aoki-san." Ralph smiled bitterly and stood up.
"I'm just tired, how about we leave this conversation for later?" Ralph made a complicated expression and said.
A strange light passed through Aoi's eyes.
-Is he trying to avoid this?
She thought.
"In that case, go carefully." Aoi said goodbye to Ralph with a smile.
Ralph nodded with a slight smile and said:
"I'm going."
Aoi just watched Ralph leave the room with narrowed eyes.
-By his reaction, he knows something, but he's not sure of anything.
While Ralph leaves school, however, he activated his ability after entering a dark.
Becoming invisible, he stepped out of the alley, which was between a wall and a janitor's storehouse.
After making sure that no one had paid attention to him, he went to the entrance to the building.
Soon, he spotted Aoi coming from the main building.
Ralph's goal was clear, to follow Aoi and find out what was special about her.
She seemed to be waiting for someone, as she stood in a corner while looking at the watch on her wrist.
Soon, a boy with Japanese characteristics appeared and went to talk to Aoi.
Ralph came over to hear the conversation.
"So? Why did you call me?" The boy asked without an ounce of politeness as he wiped his own glasses.
"... That list you gave me, it is incomplete!" Aoi spoke in a low voice.
The boy was surprised and opened his eyes wide.
"T-This is impossible! Kurogane-senpai verified this personally!" The boy spoke.
Aoi smiled and said:
"I said that because I felt bit of aura in a guy in my class, and he didn't seem to know that."
The boy stood with his mouth open for a moment and said:
"Why did you just feel it? If he really has an aura, the other two should have felt it too!"
"I don't know if they felt that, but I'm sure of what I felt, even if only for a brief moment.!" Aoi spoke in a firm voice.
After hesitating for a moment, the boy sighed and said:
"Tell me his name, I'll check it out."
"He said his name is Karman Ralph." Aoi spoke.
"Karman Ralph, you say. Heh. He must be a foreigner." The boy smiled and then continued:
"If he really has an aura, he is destined to enter the occult history society!"
Aoi just smiled slightly and said goodbye.
Ralph, who overheard the whole conversation, frowned.
-Aura? Does this have to do with my talent?
He was in doubt about who to follow, but decided to continue following Aoi.
She left school and started walking in one direction.
Wherever she went, she attracted looks, even though her name and surname were Japanese, her beauty was not the type of Japanese beauty.
Soon, she attracted looks not only for her beauty, but also for the air she carried. It is as if she were a walking flower, at least that is what some thought.
Ralph followed her without an ounce of shame, he wanted to know more about this world, and perhaps this society of hidden history was a key element.
As Aoi seems to have relations with this society, he considers it a key piece in the puzzle.
From time to time, however, even he is amazed by Aoi's beauty.
She has a slim figure, D-cup breasts and has sexy legs.
-And to think that I would find a 10/10 in my room.
Ralph sighed secretly.
But then he shook his head and cursed himself for feeling an interest in a girl at least 4 years younger than him.
-That must be Imamoto's fault!
Ralph decided to blame the influence of his Imamoto version.
After walking for a while, they arrived at a subway station.
Ralph didn't think much and followed her until they got into a subway car. It was from the Marunouchi Line.
The parts closed after some time and the vehicle started to move on the tracks towards the next station.
Aoi was sitting and fiddling with her cell phone.
As there were not many people in the car, she did not want to stand because of a 'recommendation' from the school.
Ralph took a deep breath and shook his head.
After two seasons, she finally got up and left the car.
They were at a station in the Bunkyo district.
After following the girl for a while, they finally arrived at what appeared to be her home.
It was a large house, with one floor, and a garage.
Ralph wondered if he should continue to invade someone else's privacy like that.
But when he remembered the conversation between Aoi and the boy with the glasses, Ralph hardened his heart and entered the house without hesitation.
"I arrived!" Aoi said aloud as he took off his shoes.
Ralph felt bad about entering someone else's house that way but he didn't take his sneakers off.
"Aoi, are you here yet? Come here in the kitchen!" A female voice came.
Aoi went to the kitchen, with Ralph right behind her.
Ralph was impressed with the level of furniture in the house, Aoi's family seemed to be quite wealthy.
He then saw a woman in an apron cooking in the kitchen. She looked like Aoi, and even her hair was the same color. It must be her mother.
"Mom, do you need anything?" Aoi asked.
"I need to know what your first day of school was like, and then? How was it?" Aoi's mother smiled and asked.
Aoi continued talking to her mother for a while, until she finally seemed to be heading for her room.
Her room was common, it had a desk with some books, a bed and a computer. There was a window overlooking the street.
In addition, there was a blue carpet in the center of the room, it had some strange symbols.
She left her backpack in a corner and left the room, probably going to the bathroom.
Ralph did not leave the room, however.
He was analyzing the carpet. He was very strange ...
After taking a picture of the rug, he then looked at the books on the desk.
What most caught Ralph's attention was the book called 'Aura in history'.
He took the book, which had only a few pages, and took a photo of all the pages.
After that, he heard the sound of footsteps, it was Aoi.
She entered the room, with a towel covering her body, she looked like she had just taken a shower.
Ralph took a deep breath and left the room without hesitation. This was a matter of dignity for him.
He wouldn't go so low as to use his ability to stalk naked women.
Ralph decided to explore the rest of the house. The first goal is fourth of Aoi's parents.
He was bigger and had a double bed.
There was a black carpet in the center of the room, it also had strange symbols.
Ralph repeated the same process as before and started looking for other things.
After finding some things he shouldn't have, Ralph decided to focus only on the books that were on a shelf.
Unfortunately, he didn't find anything interesting.
He clicked his tongue and left the room.
After basically searching the whole house, Ralph found nothing else he found useful and was about to leave when he overheard the conversation from the living room.
"Your father is busy with the association, the Aura masters have been agitated recently." Aoi's mother spoke while eating with chopsticks.
"... Hmm." Aoi aoenas nodded.
"So what? Have you decided if you're really going to enter the occult history society? Nobody can make you." Aoi's mother continued.
"I'm not sure." Aoi replied.
"Hm, but be careful when you're around the school's apprentices, not everyone is a good person." The mother advised.
"They dare not do anything out of the ordinary, the association is strictly watching everyone." Aoi spoke.
"... Yes, but strive to become a strong Aura master, only then will you be free to achieve your dreams." Her mother smiled.
Aoi smiled back and nodded.
Ralph, who was on the listening side, frowned.
After they finished eating, mother and daughter separated. Aoi went to the bedroom, and her mother went somewhere else.
Ralph decided to leave their house, since he didn't want to spend the night spying on them.
In addition, he had already obtained a certain amount of information.
"Aura masters ..." Ralph murmured as he walked towards the subway station. It was already getting dark.
After taking a subway on the Yamato line, which takes him to the Chōji district, which is where he lives, he sat on a bench and began to reflect.
-It seems that this world has some special existences ... But I need to do more research before reaching a conclusion.
After three seasons, he arrived in the Chōji district, and headed for his home.
On the way, he wondered if he should get any weapons, but he shook his head soon after.
Japan is different from Brazil, he doesn't need a gun at the moment and he doesn't want to just steal a gun from a police station unnecessarily.
After walking for a long time, he arrived at the place where he lived.
He went up the stairs and went to his apartment, but stopped when he saw that there was someone in front of his door.
He was a tall, strong young man with red hair and a solemn expression. He wore the same uniform as Ralph.
At the same time that Ralph saw him, the young man saw Ralph.
Ralph went to him and said with an indifferent expression:
"Do you need something?"
The young man seemed to analyze Ralph for a moment and said:
"Are you really Imamoto Ralph? I didn't feel Aura coming from you the last time I saw you."
Ralph frowned, he doesn't remember seeing the boy before, even in Imamoto's memories.
"What you want?" Ralph asked again while on guard.
The young man hesitated for a moment and said:
"Sorry, but I need you to answer some questions ..."
Ralph silently looked at the young man.
"If you are really Imamoto Ralph, there are things you should know. And if you are an imposter, I will know." The young man spoke in a solemn voice.
Ralph narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Why do you think I'm an imposter? And what is this Aura?"
The young man shook his head and said:
"If you are really Imamoto Ralph, I will naturally clear up your doubts. But if you are an imposter ... You will have no choice and will be questioned."
"I'm already being interrogated." Ralph spoke with a cold smile.
The young man looked around and asked:
"Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Ralph looked at him for another moment and opened the door with the key.
After entering, Ralph sat in the only chair in the apartment and said:
"Now you have all the privacy you wanted, so let's get this over with, I'm hungry."
The young man was surprised to see that there was only one chair and that he would have to stand, and he looked at Ralph strangely and said:
"Cough Cough, is there nowhere for me to sit?"
Ralph smiled and didn't respond.
The young man sighed and said:
"Never mind ... First question, are you familiar with the name 'Aura Master'?"
"Starting today, yes." Ralph replied.
The young man seemed to look deeply into Ralph's eyes and nodded.
"Second question, what was the number next to your enrollment contract when you signed it?"
Ralph frowned and concentrated.
In Imamoto's memoirs, Ralph recalled a large number next to the contract he signed on the day of registration. For some reason, the school official asked him to memorize the number, but declined to explain why.
"98" Ralph replied.
The boy's eyes narrowed and he smiled as he asked again:
"Third and last question, why did you overhear Aoki-san's conversation with Ainz-kun in secret?"
That question rang with a thousand thunders in Ralph's mind as he struggled to maintain an indifferent expression.
"But what are you talking about?" Ralph replied calmly.
The young man smiled coldly at Ralph and said:
"You see ... I have a special gift ... I can feel it when a person with Aura lies in front of me."
Ralph frowned and was silent.
"Sure, people stronger and more experienced than me can mask it, but that's not the case for people who don't know how to control Aura itself." The smile disappeared from the young man's face and he continued:
"From what I heard and felt in your responses, you are probably not an imposter. But something must have happened to you to awaken your Aura."
Ralph remained silent, but his expression is solemn. He underestimated the young man in front of him.
"Aren't you going to answer my last question?" The young man looked at Ralph with a cold expression.
Ralph clicked his tongue and said:
"What does this have to do with you?"
"It has everything to do." The young man began to emanate danger in his expression.
Ralph looked at the young man for a moment and said:
"I have no evil intentions towards anyone at that school, and I overheard Aoki-san's conversation and that guy with glasses ... Well, I just wanted to clear up my doubts because of the conversation I had with Aoki-san in the classroom. class."
Unless the young man in front of him was just looking for trouble, that answer should be enough.
In fact, upon hearing Ralph's response, the young man's expression returned to normal and sighed.
"I see ... It seems that I was being overly careful." The young man smiled and held out his hand to Ralph.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Thomas Valor. Sorry for my attitude before."
Ralph looked at the boy for a moment and shook Thomas's hand as he said:
"I accept your apologies, but I hope you will clarify some of my doubts."
Thomas looked at Ralph for a moment and said as he walked towards the door:
"You said you're hungry, right? In that case, I'm leaving. Sorry for bothering you!"
Ralph frowned and asked irritably:
"Wait, won't you answer my questions?"
Thomas stopped for a moment and said:
"The occult history society is the key to your questions."
Without giving Ralph another chance, he left the apartment.
Ralph clicked his tongue, he was shaking with anger but he didn't dare chase Thomas.
Apparently, someone could see through his skill, since Thomas knows that he overheard the conversation between Aoki Aoi and Ainz in secret.
Ralph does not think this is the case for Aoi, since he followed her to her house.
- Did that guy do it?
Ralph remembered Ainz, and his glasses.
Now that he paid attention, those glasses looked a little strange.
The lenses were a little bluish, and there were symbols on the body of the glasses.
