After the day passed where I left a bunch of cooked food for Briar to eat while I was away, luckily meat and cartoons/anime were enough to keep her preoccupied so she wouldn't go on a rampage while I was away.
Though I'll have to buy more meat through the system as I can't ask TeruTeru to keep cooking up ridiculous sizes of meat for me, I mean he would but I feel guilty doing that constantly compared to occasionally with those delivery quests
'Speaking of which I wonder how Esdeath is doing? It's been a awhile since I did her quest and it must have been a few years since then in her world at least.' I think to myself as I make my way to Miku's school.

"Achoo!…. Hmm someone must be thinking about me, what do you think little Tarasque? You think it's Hifumi who's thinking about me?" A teenage Esdeath asks to the small pet in her lap who is the same super class danger beast from all those years ago.
It has already been 7 years since Hifumi left and he said he'd come back when she was 18, so it's another 3 years before he returns in her mind.
"Arf Arf! Ruff!" The little Tarasque barked at her before nuzzling back into her lap as if confirming her thoughts.
"Ahhh! It's frustrating that I'll have to wait to see one another again, at least the countries around the Empire keep causing problems for me to squash in the meantime, it's the only fun I get to have besides hunting, though I feel I'm getting close to awakening that thing Hifumi taught me, I just need a bit more of a push." She said to herself as she looked at her arms which quickly became coated in a black sheen as she had successfully learned how to coat her arms and the precious rapier that Hifumi gifted her those years ago in haki as well.
Not only that but she has become proficient in Observation Haki now to the point even if she somehow lost her eyesight she would be able to see the world through the vibrations she gives off with each step she takes.
(N) Like Toph or Daredevil, that's how acute her sense are now when she takes away her eyesight.
"Soon enough I'll make it my own and I will easily be able to stand by his side and maybe then…." She smiled a beautiful smile as she looked at the drawing that she had a professional artist make of Hifumi as she made a heart with her fingers around the picture frame.
"…. I'll break you and make you all mine with all your thoughts revolving around me hehehehe…." She said as she chuckled sinisterly which made even the terrifying super class Tarasque shiver in fear.
In its head it worried for its real masters safety if this woman had her sights set on him.

*Shiver* "Ugh…. Why'd I just get the chills?" I felt as I looked around the place to see what could make me that unconsciously nervous.
"Well master you decided to think about a crazy psycho girl and even across time and space she was able to sense it back while having daydreams of what she will do to you the next time you meet, Kyahahahaha! You really do attract all the crazies don't you?" Shinigami said appearing out of nowhere to make fun of my constant plight of women problems.
"Ugh!" That was a critical hit to me, why is it almost all the crazies have a thing for me, if I add her that makes 4 girls going after me and that one is one of the more deadly ones of them all.
'Luckily I'm immune to ice powers, best to keep Esdeath in her world until I figure things out with all of my relationships.' I think to myself as I shake my head before I go into a secluded ally before pulling out my Harley and heading for Miku's school to figure out what's going on.
…

"…. Okay I have several questions." I said as I activated my ghost sight to see well.
"I've said this before but are we sure Miku's story isn't a Junji Ito story?" I ask myself as I'm just seeing some of the creepiest ghosts I have ever seen just lumbering around this school that would make most people shit there pants in fear at this stuff.
It was almost like I was seeing a real life silent hill scene before my eyes with the amount of body horror that was going on for the number of ghosts I was seeing.
"Let's see here…. Nope Miku's story was made by Izumi Tomoki, oh and it says here that he didn't really know much about horror manga but was mostly influenced by his future wife back in Highschool who got him to read several different horror manga at the time." Shinigami said as she popped out of nowhere reading the wiki on the author on an IPad.
"…. I'm going to guess one of those was Jungi Ito." I respond back as I look at the horrifying sight before me, good thing I was wearing my helmet that was tinted black so they couldn't tell I was looking at them right now.
Then again as an Anti-Spiral I am the antithesis to their existence so approaching me is like approaching a blackhole.
Soon enough I saw Miku along with her friends from the pictures she sent sometimes of all the fun stuff she has been up to, they both being Hana Yurikawa and Yulia Niguredo, but there was a third 'girl' by her side.
This 'girl' had basically an octopus for a head with many eyes that were all upon it, but when I turned off my ghost sight it was actually a human girl, one to my surprise was a famous model when it comes to fashion magazines.
'But those tentacles, they're wrapping around Miko's face, she can't see like that.' I thought to myself as I waved them down.
"Miko! Over here!" I wave to them as the sound of my voice gets her and the rest attention as they turn to look at me.
Hearing my voice as familiar and knowing the general direction she waved back, "Hifumi! It's good your here!" Taking this chance Miko dashed ahead in my general direction as the tentacles lost grip on her and allowed her to see as she headed over to me.
Though I saw those same tentacles getting spiky showing me that the girl behind them was pissed that Miko went over to me.
"Oh so that's Hifumi! Miko has mentioned him a few times to me before, at first I almost thought he was her boyfriend before Miko shut that down early on and just said they were friends is all." Hana explains to the girl, but this seems to agitate the tentacle ghost on her head even more from hearing all that.
"I see you got yourself a new 'friend' rather clingy isn't she?" I say as I pull off my helmet and look at her.
"You could say that…. And that thing on her is messing with my eyes and now I can see those things all over again…." She said clearly looking sad and scared she needs to see these things again.
"Well don't worry about it, we will figure this out, and hopefully by tonight this will no longer be a problem." I say as I pat her shoulder, though I turned to look at the white haired girl with the blank face as she and Miko's friends came up to us.
But soon enough me and this girl were staring at each other for a few seconds before I spoke, "I know you hide your emotions behind a blank face, but your anger and jealousy are palpable that makes you look ugly in my eyes."
As soon as I said that those spear like tentacles went straight for the kill on my very soul, this is how our confrontation between me and the woman named Michiru Ichijou began.
