With Itsuki

"A-another world? Is that some kind of tourist spot name?" asked Takumi, awkwardly.

Itsuki didn't answer. He threw a light purple robe at Takumi's face. Reluctantly, Takumi caught the purple robe and flipped it over.

"What is this robe for?"

"Wear that robe, Akazawa! With that shirt, they won't notice that you are a human." Itsuki spoke. Looks very mysterious.

"Wa-wait! Where are we going? Who are they, um? Then, aren't you human too, Minami?" asked Takumi, confused by his friend's rambling.

"You want to meet Sakurako or not, huh? If you want to meet, just do what I say, Akazawa!!" Itsuki snapped, which instantly silenced Takumi.

Although there were many questions in Takumi Akazawa's mind, Takumi chose to remain silent. For Takumi, meeting Sakurako was the most important thing for now.

"Stay by my side, Akazawa! Don't throw a tantrum! Stay alert so you don't get possessed!!" Takumi tried to warn his comrade.

After saying a command that Takumi didn't understand at all, Itsuki then put his left palm against the wall of the school building.

Meanwhile, the right hand is raised in front of the face. His index and middle fingers touched towards Itsuki's temples.

Itsuki looks down for a moment while closing his eyes. Takumi was still waiting behind Itsuki, not understanding what his comrade was doing.

"The future Demon God Protector, Itsuki Minami, requests a portal to the Hidden Realm!" Itsuki said.

A sudden gust of wind blew around them, followed by a light mist rising around the walls. Immediately, the wall Itsuki touched turned into a door with two leaves. There are carvings of a nine-tailed fox on each leaf. It was the Inari Fox.

"Come on in, Akazawa!" Itsuki orders the youngest of the Akazawa family.

Itsuki entered the door that appeared suddenly on the walls of their school. Itsuki had already made a few swings, but he noticed that Takumi Akazawa was not following him.

Itsuki turned around only to say, "What are you waiting for, Akazawa!! Hurry in!!"

Takumi gasped. Although there were dozens of questions in his head for Itsuki, Takumi chose to remain silent. Takumi really wanted to meet Sakurako right now. So, he would refrain from asking Itsuki, his current classmate who didn't look like the usual Itsuki.

In Takumi's view, Itsuki seemed to be keeping a lot of secrets.

"Don't keep daydreaming, Akazawa!! Hurry up!!" Itsuki snapped back, which brought Takumi straight out of his thoughts.

After that, Takumi ran to catch up with his comrade. The two of them entered the mysterious door, created by Itsuki earlier.

When the two of them entered, the two-leaf door had now mysteriously closed again as well. The next second, the two-leaf door disappeared and left behind a thin purplish smoke. Now the place has turned back into an ordinary wall painted green.

***

Takumi's body was shaking violently. He had never been through a tunnel this dark before. And again, this tunnel is very long. In order to meet Sakurako again, Takumi kills all his fears.

"A week ago, I drove Sakurako and her bodyguard back through this place." Itsuki spoke again.

"WHAT?" Takumi surprised. He had thought Itsuki's words about dropping Sakurako off as a joke. Takumi never expected Itsuki to actually fool him. If Itsuki knows where Sakurako is going, then why has Itsuki been helping Takumi so much these days? Takumi thought, annoyed.

Takumi showed his unfriendly gaze to Itsuki, who was walking in front of him, that.

"Don't be angry, Akazawa! I didn't mean to fool you."

"Then what do you mean by acting like you don't know if Sakurako is home and you're actually looking for Sakurako, um?!" Takumi hissed, still looking annoyed.

"I just want you not to get too involved with them, Akazawa! You should just live quietly as usual. Don't care too much about them."

"How could I not care about Sakurako, Minami?! Don't be kidding!! What you said was really weird from earlier!!" snapped Takumi. He was so angry that it made his head dizzy and his stomach queasy.
