-1024- Might become problematic?

As Nagisa wore a somewhat forced smile but looked rather pale, the crowd showed various degrees of disapproval.

"Weren't you told not to overexert yourself?" Kojou sounded somewhat anxious, mixed with sighs of concern.

It wasn't just Kojou; others also expressed their worries to some extent.

"If you're not feeling well, it's best to take a leave. Everyone knows your condition, and the teachers will understand," Asagi advised.

"Nagisa-chan, don't you want to avoid causing trouble for others? It's better to lie down and rest properly, right?" Motoki was a bit outspoken but still showed concern.

"Nagisa..."

Even Avrora looked uneasy, showing a worried expression towards Nagisa.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Nagisa's forced smile finally faded.

"I don't want to miss out on the new school year and semester..." Nagisa said somewhat dejectedly.

This proved that Nagisa had been feeling unwell for some time but hadn't spoken up.

"Give me your hand, Nagisa," Rozen approached Nagisa cautiously.

"Uh, okay," Nagisa looked a bit shy as she placed her hand in Rozen's.

Having known each other for three and a half years, Rozen had frequently had intimate physical contact with this cute yet somewhat noisy girl to help treat Nagisa. While Rozen had grown accustomed to it, Nagisa still seemed a bit shy, and her heart must have been racing, right?

"Hm..."

"Mm..."

Asagi showed a bit of displeasure at this scene, and even Avrora seemed unusually upset.

"Ugh..."

For some reason, Kojou felt restless, watching Nagisa's shy demeanor, his mouth twitching.

"This is youth..." Motoki, seeing through everything as an observer, shook his head indifferently.

Ignoring others' reactions, Rozen injected a bit of magic into Nagisa's body and used Spirit Vision to check her condition.

Upon seeing this, Rozen furrowed his brow.

"What... What's wrong?" Kojou asked nervously, noticing Rozen's expression.

Rozen shook his head, releasing Nagisa's hand with regret in her expression, and spoke.

"There's nothing wrong at the moment, but there seems to be signs of the spirit inside Nagisa awakening again. That's not a good sign."

With this statement, everyone who knew about Nagisa's condition became concerned.

"Damn, is it waking up again?" Kojou scratched his head in frustration.

"What kind of spirit is it? It's too primitive to keep bothering others, isn't it?" Asagi frowned.

"Fortunately, this is the Demon Sanctuary. If it were outside society, I wouldn't know how to deal with it," Motoki looked at Nagisa with sympathy.

Basically, as Motoki said, if Nagisa were outside the Demon Sanctuary and news of a vengeful spirit possessing her body spread, it would likely cause quite a stir, and Nagisa would probably be shunned and feared, right?

Fortunately, this is the Demon Sanctuary, and everyone is accustomed to all sorts of supernatural occurrences, making it easy to accept such situations.

Except for one person...

"Y-You can curse me," Avrora spoke as if she was about to cry.

"It's all my fault, bringing such disaster."

It seems that Avrora is blaming herself.

After all, unlike before, Avrora now knows that Nagisa was possessed because she had come into contact with her once-sealed self. The spirit should have been sealed along with her, so Avrora feels responsible for allowing this to happen and has been feeling down and dejected.

But naturally, no one could blame her.

"It's not Avrora's fault." Nagisa hurriedly spoke up. "If anyone's to blame, it's because I went into the underground tomb and released the seal on the relic without permission. It's not Avrora's fault."

That makes sense.

Since Nagisa broke the seal on the relic without permission, leading to this situation, to some extent, she must take responsibility for her actions.

Nevertheless, it's not really Nagisa's fault.

"It's all because of that rotten old man. He knew how dangerous it was, yet he called Nagisa over, and now he's disappeared...!"

Kojou clenched his fists in extreme anger.

Certainly, Nagisa agreeing so easily to help is also a problem, but ultimately, it was because of Gajou and Liana and the relic investigation team that Nagisa was called over, leading to all this.

However, blaming Gajou is also pointless since he was unaware of the situation. The investigation team informed Nagisa without his knowledge, and while he expressed dissatisfaction, he ultimately couldn't do anything about it.

Given this, blaming anyone is pointless; it's all fate.

It was destined for Nagisa to encounter this ordeal.

"Anyway, Nagisa, you should go to the infirmary first to rest," Rozen said to Nagisa. "I'll cast another spell to suppress the spirit in your body, which should make you feel much better."

"But..." Nagisa hesitated. "What about Avrora? I'd be worried if she's left alone in the classroom."

Perhaps Nagisa has been holding on until now not just to avoid missing the new school year and semester but also for Avrora's sake?

"I... I'm fine! Completely fine!" Avrora understood this and immediately declared loudly.

However, the vampire girl's face was full of fear, making it hard to believe she was truly okay.

"I think it's better to let Avrora-chan and Nagisa-chan go to the infirmary together. We can't leave Nagisa-chan alone, and it's better to have someone accompany her," Motoki suggested, immediately gaining everyone's agreement.

Especially Asagi.

"If you're not feeling well, it's better not to be stubborn," Asagi almost blurted out. "Otherwise, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

At this statement, everyone was momentarily stunned.

"Unnecessary misunderstandings?" Rozen asked in confusion.

"What do you mean?" Kojou also expressed his doubts.

Asagi finally realized her mistake and began to look hesitant.

Then, as if giving up on insisting, Asagi sighed.

"Although I don't want to cause unnecessary commotion, I think it's better to inform you all."

With an unexpectedly calm tone, Asagi revealed such a thing.

"Itogami Island might become very problematic."

That's what Asagi wanted to say.

As for why it might become very problematic...

"You should know about the vampire infection syndrome, right?" Asagi spoke up.

"That kind of symptom has started to appear here."

"On Itogami Island."
