Multiverse: Invasion of the 2D Heroines

What just happened? Those files were buried deep, several layers in, not sitting openly on his desktop.

Yoru Moonshadow replayed the events in his mind. That angelic girl named Raphiel had casually tapped around his digital tablet, pretending to explore out of curiosity.

Just a few random taps, and somehow she had miraculously navigated into his special hidden folder?

No, it wasn't a coincidence. This girl Raphiel… something about her felt off.

How should he put it? Ah, it was that classic gap cute on the outside, black-hearted on the inside.

Looking at her now, pretending to be all startled and flustered, her big amber eyes shimmering with innocence, Yoru could clearly see the mischievous glint lurking in their depths.

So that's how it was. This girl, who looked like a pure and kind angel, actually hid the soul of a little devil. A textbook example of "pink on the outside, black on the inside."

She was messing with him.

Did she think something like this would rattle him? Did she expect him to panic and fluster about, trying to explain himself?

"Hog."

His words came out in a soft mumble, but it was just loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Huh?"

Raphiel blinked in surprise, making a cute little sound as if she genuinely didn't understand. But if you looked closely, you'd notice her perfectly shaped brows twitch ever so slightly in irritation.

Suddenly, Yoru's gaze became sharp and serious as he locked eyes with her.

"The one in the fifth row, second column, wearing black lace lingerie. You didn't see that, right? Right? Right?"

His tone was unusually low and rapid, as if that particular picture held sacred importance and absolutely no one else was allowed to see it.

"Eh? But wasn't it white mmph!"

Raphiel instinctively covered her own mouth, her amber eyes wide with shock.

"White? You mean it was white? Interesting… my tablet only displays a 4x4 grid at once. There's no fifth row unless you deliberately scrolled down. So, Raphiel-san, how exactly do you know what's in the fifth row?"

Yoru's half-smile was practically oozing smug satisfaction.

"Huh? Oh, it really is 4x4… uh…"

Someone nearby whispered as if they had just realized the truth. The displayed thumbnails weren't even explicit; the characters were simply dressed a little provocatively.

"Hehe, I just guessed, you know."

Raphiel kept her signature angelic smile, but it seemed a little strained now.

"Tch, pig."

Yoru clicked his tongue and shot her a look that practically begged for a fight. He whispered the word just softly enough that everyone could still hear him.

In that instant, it felt like you could hear the thread of Raphiel's reason snap.

Her sweet, melodic voice floated through the cafe, gentle and soft like the breeze of spring, but her aura brought the chill of a dead winter.

"Excuse me, but who exactly are you calling a pig?"

Raphiel's serene angelic appearance remained intact, but the shadow behind her had twisted into something devilish and ominous.

"Pig."

Another whisper, barely audible, but perfectly clear to everyone.

"Hehe, excuse me, who exactly are you calling a pig again?"

Raphiel's voice was laced with cold amusement, and she quietly stepped closer. Her radiant smile grew more dazzling, but the air around her seemed to darken as if creeping shadows from the underworld were rising at her feet.

"Pig."

Yoru muttered once more.

"Who. Are. You. Calling?"

Her voice finally cracked, her once-pleasant tone now sharp as ice.

"Pi...mmph!"

Yoru was abruptly cut off when another small hand clamped tightly over his mouth. It was Vignette April Tsukinose, who frantically signaled him to stop provoking her. She was genuinely worried that Raphiel would kill him.

"Ha! Raphiel, I never thought I'd see you take a hit for once."

Gabriel's voice dripped with mockery, clearly enjoying the rare sight of Raphiel losing her composure.

"Goodness, Gabriel, what are you talking about? This is just who I really am~"

Raphiel softly touched her cheek, smiling like an angel, feigning complete innocence. She casually glanced at Gabriel's chest.

"Hey, where are you looking? What kind of gaze is that? Do you have a death wish?"

Gabriel's eyes flared as she caught Raphiel's smug glance at her flat chest.

"Hey, Satania!"

"Huh? What?"

"You came here today because you had something interesting to tell us, right?"

Vignette quickly changed the topic, using the idiot Satania as a diversion to shift everyone's attention.

"Oh right, right! I actually have something super cool to show you all. Feast your eyes on this!"

Satania proudly pulled out a sci-fi looking pair of goggles, the lenses fused together like some kind of futuristic visor.

"Behold! My new purchase the Ultimate Truth-Seeing Glasses!"

"Whoa, sounds fancy. What do they do?"

Vignette, forcing a smile, praised it while sighing inwardly. This was definitely another useless product from the infamous "Demon World Shopping Network." Satania had fallen for those scams so many times and still hadn't learned her lesson.

"When you wear these, you can see a person's true nature! For example, Vignette's full name is Vignette April Tsukinose. Height: 155 cm. Weight: 45 kg. Three sizes: B80, W57, H82~"

The data flashed across Satania's goggles as she triumphantly read it aloud.

"Ahhhh!"

Vignette instantly wrapped her arms around her chest and turned bright red.

"B80, huh? Oh wow, that means you're a B cup."

Raphiel's teasing voice chimed in with a mischievous grin. On the outside, it looked like she was C at least, but Vignette's frantic reaction confirmed she'd been exposed. So she was a secret flat-chest after all.

"Ohoho, B cup, huh~"

Gabriel snickered with a devilish glint in her eye.

"Is B that bad? At least it's still twice the size of yours, Gabriel!"

Vignette snapped back in frustration, landing a critical hit that nearly turned Gabriel to stone.

"Raphiel Ainsworth Shiraha, height: 160 cm, weight: 48 kg, three sizes: B89, W59, H86. F cup?"

Satania's goggles scanned Raphiel next.

"Oh my, is it really that big?"

Raphiel feigned concern, but her entire body radiated smug satisfaction, drawing daggers from both Gabriel and Vignette.

The next moment, both girls shot deadly glares at Yoru Moonshadow as if to say, "See? That's why we called her a pig."

Satania's red eyes glimmered with scheming light.

Heh heh, Gabriel, prepare to fall into despair.

This device had another secret function: it could detect a person's alignment, showing their good or evil values, and could even transfer evil points to another person.

Satania planned to load Gabriel with all the evil points she had just collected from a few random passersby. She quietly pressed a small hidden button on the glasses, then glanced at Yoru Moonshadow, who had just been fighting with Gabriel earlier. Surely he must have accumulated at least 200 evil points as a guy who unapologetically draws risqué art.

She activated the scan.

Wait. What?

She stared in disbelief. Total system malfunction.

Huh?

What's going on?
