Chapter 21 - Chapter 21

As Ryūji and Akudama looked around in shock, they realized they had arrived in a massive city filled with sorcerers. Doremi, noticing their surprise, explained, "Well, this is the city. It's gigantic and populated by sorcerers." Ryūji and Akudama were taken aback by the mention of sorcerers and exclaimed, "Did you just say sorcerers?" Doremi, a bit confused but still smiling, confirmed, "Yeah..."

Ryūji approached Doremi and whispered, "Doremi, I need your help..." Doremi nodded in response, her face turning slightly red from Ryūji's proximity. She replied, "Uh, sure, Ryūji-kun... I've got you."

They made their way to a barbershop, and Ryūji and Akudama marveled at the size of the establishment. However, they noticed that there were no other customers present, only the barber. Perplexed, Ryūji approached the barber and asked, "Why is there no one else in your shop, sir?" The barber employee explained, "Oh, well, it's still early in the day, so customers haven't started coming in yet. But if you'd like a haircut, I can assist you." Ryūji nodded and requested, "I want my hair to be scruffy, please." The barber smiled and replied, "Certainly, it will be done to your liking."

As Ryūji took a seat in the barber's chair, the barber began to touch his hair. However, the moment the barber's hand made contact with Ryūji's hair, a vibrating sensation started to emanate from it. Perplexed, the barber muttered, "What the hell..." Ryūji, noticing the barber's reaction, asked, "What's wrong?"

The barber quickly composed himself and replied, "Oh, it's nothing... just about to begin now." In his thoughts, the barber pondered, "That hair gave such an intense vibrating feeling... it was as if I was about to be forcefully pushed away..." However, as the barber resumed his work, the vibrations ceased abruptly.

Akudama and Doremi, observing the situation, realized that everything was fine and decided to find seats where they could wait for Ryūji's haircut to be completed.

After 18 minutes had passed, the barber employee finished working on Ryūji's hair. Akudama admired the messy yet stylish result, exclaiming, "Wow, your hair looks really messy but still great!" Doremi blushed, thinking to herself, "Wow, he looks even cuter than before..."

Meanwhile, the barber employee felt a strange sensation and thought to himself, "I never thought I could finish a scruffy hairdo that fast... but this gentleman's hair is abnormal." However, as Ryūji stood up from the chair and looked at himself in the mirror, he expressed his satisfaction, saying, "Wow, it looks good... thank you very much, Mr. Barber man." The barber employee was flabbergasted, whispering to himself, "Did he just call me Mr. Barber man?"

Leaving the barbershop behind, Doremi thought about heading home, and Ryūji and Akudama nodded in agreement. Doremi blushed again as she noticed Ryūji's cute expression while he looked at her. They arrived at their apartment, which was located on the 5th floor. Doremi mentioned that her apartment number was 1443. Akudama and Ryūji smiled in response.

Upon entering the apartment, they noticed that it was exceptionally clean. With bright, starry-eyed expressions, they exclaimed, "Amazing! Your whole apartment is fresh and clean."

Akudama explored the kitchen while Ryūji continued to examine the various rooms in the apartment. However, Ryūji's attention was drawn to a second room that caught his eye. Curious, he turned to Doremi and asked, "What is that room?"

Doremi smiled warmly and replied, "Oh, that used to be my parents' room. It has a king-size bed, two dressers, and a window at the back of the bed. Pretty cool, right?" Ryūji was flabbergasted by the description and exclaimed, "Wow, that's really cool! A king-size bed and even a window by the back of the bed... talk about impressive."

Doremi smiled in response and said, "Yeah, it sure is. Thank you for liking it." Meanwhile, Akudama joined the conversation, complimenting the kitchen's cleanliness. Doremi's smile widened as she replied, "Thank you very much."

Doremi crossed her hands and made an announcement, "This will be both of your rooms from now on." Akudama and Ryūji couldn't contain their excitement and exclaimed, "Wait, for real?" Doremi closed her eyes and confirmed, "Yep, for real." They continued to express their gratitude, saying, "Thank you very much!"

Doremi then turned and mentioned, "Tomorrow, I have to go to the Sorcerer High School Academy." Akudama, puzzled by the term, whispered to Ryūji, "What's a Sorcerer High School Academy?" Ryūji whispered back, "I've never been to one, even though I used to be a sorcerer. I was never sent to school before." Akudama reacted with surprise, saying, "Damn, what a shocker..."

Doremi, confused by their conversation, asked, "Oh, do you guys want to come?" Akudama replied, "Nah, I'm good. Thank you for inviting me to your school, though." In his thoughts, Akudama added, "I don't like studying, that's all." On the other hand, Ryūji chose a different answer, saying, "I will come." Akudama was shocked by Ryūji's response, while Doremi responded, "Alright, thank you for your answer. I'll show you around the school and ask my teacher or my principal if we can be in the same class." Ryūji smiled and said, "Let's go..."

As Akudama remained confused by Ryūji's decision, he simply thought, "Never mind, I'll accompany my buddy Ryūji to school." Ryūji confirmed, "So, tomorrow, alright?"

As Ryūji encountered the demon sexy queen, he pointed at her and confidently declared, "You will be my 100,000,002,650th wife..." The demon sexy queen was taken aback and responded with a puzzled expression, "Huh?!!!" Meanwhile, Ryūji couldn't help but smirk, pleased with his bold statement.
