[2 minutes, 19 seconds left before the arrival of Dimensional Gate.]
While Keith was holding Sherry's hand, he took a peek at the system timer regarding the descent of the Dimension Gate.
Keith's actions were swift as he instantly retrieved the system screen before Sherry could notice his odd actions.
Although Sherry couldn't see his system screen, it would still be unusual if he was absentmindedly staring at the system screen. And from what Keith had noticed, Sherry was very observant and smart.
Otherwise, Keith wouldn't be this challenged in seeing through Sherry's intentions without using his Eyes of Heaven. If it was another beta simp, they wouldn't be able to see through the mask behind Sherry's sunny and cutesy facade.
'It seems that the Dimensional Gate would descend two minutes from now. As for where it would descend, even I don't know where.'
'I don't know why but my instincts tell me that I will encounter the Dimensional Gate during my date with Sherry. And as far as I remembered, my instincts had yet to fail me.'
Keith thought inside his mind as he carried a shopping bag in his left hand.
After Keith and Sherry confirmed their relationship, the two of them went on several dates after school or during weekends.
In regards to their lover status, Sherry was very bold and assertive and she would always make out with Keith whenever she found an opportunity to do so.
Of course, as a man, Keith would never allow himself to act passively in a relationship so after several advancements between Keith and Sherry, they were almost reaching the point where they could sleep with each other.
Although he went on a date with Sherry multiple times, Keith still found it unusual that Sherry abruptly took him on a date even though their class had yet to end.
Sherry's actions would have looked natural if not for the fact that Keith knew about the timer of the Dimensional Gate's descent. When Sherry took him on a date half an hour before the descent of the Dimensional Gate, he found out that not only Amelia but Sherry was also sus!
'Does Sherry and Amelia know about the future?'
That suspicion couldn't help but enter Keith's mind as he remembered that not only had Sherry managed to obtain his End Note before him, but she also transferred to Mint High where the second End Note was located.
From what he had remembered, there were two End Notes in Mint High. The first was the End Note that fell from the sky while the second one was on the school rooftop.
'I had already guessed that Sherry must have entered Mint High in disguise when my End Note fell from the sky and landed on Mint High. As for why she didn't take the second End Note, it should be because of the possibility of alerting me and knowing of her existence earlier than what she planned.'
'From what I have known about Sherry's personality, she must have remained complacent since she assumed that no one would obtain the End Note on the school rooftop aside from her. After all, even if Sherry knew about the future, she might not have known about Amelia's existence since Amelia was an anomaly that couldn't be seen through by my Eyes of Heaven.'
'Although, it is partly my fault that I delayed Sherry's school transfer. Otherwise, she would have obtained the End Note before Amelia.'
Keith still remembered that after Sherry's transfer to his school, she went to the school rooftop the day after she transferred to his school.
And despite hiding her expressions, Keith knew that she was disappointed and confused about why the End Note was obtained by someone else aside from her.
'Sherry must be scheming and using me again. Otherwise, why would she date me during the time of the Dimensional Gate's descent? Since I had already suspected her of knowing the future, then it can't be a coincidence.'
While Keith was figuring out Sherry's schemes, a sweet and soothing voice entered his ears.
"Keith, can you buy me ice cream?"
"Oh, and I only need one. I am on a diet lately so we can share our ice cream and lick it together~"
Sherry's voice despite being sweet was alluring and seductive but Keith wasn't seduced.
Looking at the ice cream shop where Sherry pointed her finger, Keith peeked at the periphery of his vision.
[17 seconds left before the arrival of Dimensional Gate.]
Seeing the system timer on the system screen, a thought entered Keith's mind.
'I know that Sherry is using me but at the same time, I also know that she won't put me in harm's way since she truly loved me.'
'I guess I can only blame myself for my unusual preference for women. After all, no one forced me to have a yandere girl as my girlfriend.'
With that thought in mind, Keith replied to Sherry, "You don't need to ask, just get what you want. I own that store."
Hearing Keith's reply, Sherry held his hand and pulled him as she headed to the ice cream store saying, "Just accompany me, okay? It's not like they knew that my boyfriend owns the store."
Acting as if he was left with no choice, Keith resigned, "Fine."
As the two of them headed to the ice cream shop, before they reached approximately ten meters near the ice cream shop, Keith felt danger near the ice cream shop.
Just a few seconds after he instinctively perceived danger, an enormous blue-colored portal appeared on the road near the ice cream shop.
-Ding!
[The Dimensional Gate has descended!]
[Warning! Keith is ten meters near the gate! Please evacuate and ensure your safety!]
Just after receiving the system's warnings, Keith and Sherry saw several green figures with short stature exiting out of the dimensional gate!
