He returned to Fuyuki City first to attend his classes.
Then, he sent Circe and Maiya Hisau to Misaki City to investigate a few things for him—specifically, to document all the "delinquent girls" and school bullies who were likely to pass near the Fujou Building at night. Once they gathered their files and photos, Haruka Kasugano returned to Misaki City to personally hand the information over to Kirie Fujou.
Kirie had already been discharged from the hospital by Haruka Kasugano. He bought a villa in the outskirts of Misaki City, where the air was fresh, for her to recover in peace. He even hired several maids and private doctors to provide around-the-clock care. Until her "infidelity progress" reached 100%, these measures were necessary to sustain her life. However, Haruka Kasugano wasn't particularly fond of these low-quality maids. He figured he'd head to Misaki City in a few days to "snatch" the Hisui and Kohaku sisters. Hahaha!
Kirie nodded as she looked over the files he gave her. She was deeply grateful for the care Haruka Kasugano had shown her and wanted to repay him. Killing a few "bad girls" felt like nothing to her, in fact, it gave her a sense of vigilante justice. Thus, she began letting her spiritual body float above the Fujou Building, starting her long hunt for those delinquent girls.
On the other side, Haruka Kasugano was arranging Fujino Asagami's "killing career." The targets were simple: the very thugs who, in the original timeline, were supposed to harm her under Souren Araya's instructions.
But before that, Haruka Kasugano began training Fujino in the use of her Mystic Eyes of Distortion. It was the start of summer vacation, so he took her to a hot spring resort for a three-day, two-night "special training" session.
Haruka Kasugano took Fujino up the resort's mountain.
"Fujino, relax. Aim your Mystic Eyes at that tree ahead!" Haruka Kasugano stood behind her, embracing her. His hands gripped her "pet bears" (breasts), using them like a steering wheel to guide her aim.
Fujino's body had long grown accustomed to Haruka Kasugano's presence. Being held in her sensitive spots actually gave her a sense of security.
"I'll try..." she said, her face flushing.
After a dozen attempts, she finally fired her Distortion. The branches ahead were instantly twisted into scrap.
"This..." Fujino was stunned. She hadn't realized she contained such power.
Haruka Kasugano took the opportunity to kiss her fragrant cheek. "See? This is your true power. You aren't a monster, you are the true Miko of the Asagami family. This is your god-like strength."
"I... am not a monster..." Fujino's inner world shifted. Previously, because she had unconsciously destroyed things as a child, her stepfather called her a monster every day. She had grown used to the title and truly believed she was a freak. Now, under Haruka Kasugano's guidance, she knew she was the "Chosen Daughter."
"I..." Fujino didn't know how to describe her feelings. She believed Haruka Kasugano's words without question. Even though he violated her, coveted her body, and trained her to do "filthy" things, she knew in her heart that he was the only one who cared for her. Compared to those cold people, if Haruka Kasugano was a bit lecherous, it was only because he loved those parts of her. She had no reason to doubt the one person who showed her love.
[Ding! Fujino Asagami's heart has undergone a change. Infidelity Progress +30%! Saved for Host!]

That Night.
Haruka Kasugano was soaking in the hot spring. Fujino sat on the edge of the pool, one flawless leg stretched out, the other bent at the knee. She leaned back on her arms against the marble, showing off her slender, ivory limbs. This posture highlighted her seductive, snake-like curves for Haruka Kasugano to see. In this position, her chest looked high and rosy, framed by her black "hime-cut" hair. She looked like an enchantress.
"So beautiful~!" Haruka Kasugano laughed.
"Mmh~" Fujino smiled slightly. Under his doting care, she had become fully aware of her own beauty and was now very confident in her body. She was more than happy to show it off to him. She now relished his desire for her.
Haruka Kasugano walked to the edge of the pool and pulled her into his arms. Fujino proactively leaned into him, using her perfectly shaped mouth to kiss him, offering him her greatest tenderness.
And so, over three days and two nights, Fujino's body was filled with more of Haruka Kasugano's "essence." Not just in the hot springs—they merged their Yin and Yang in the forest, in front of the shrine, and in all sorts of places. Because Haruka Kasugano stopped "bullying" her and instead showed her affection, Fujino's very soul was now shaped by him.

After returning from the resort.
Haruka Kasugano began arranging for Fujino to start her killings. He took her to the gathering place of the thugs: a derelict bar where they spent their time drinking and gambling. Haruka Kasugano stood with Fujino at the entrance.
"Relax, no pressure. Just release your Mystic Eyes gently, just like we practiced!"
Fujino shook her head, her brows furrowing slightly as if to say she couldn't. Then, she proactively took Haruka Kasugano's hands and placed them over her full "rabbits."
"Help me... hold the direction..." she whispered.
Hehehe! Haruka Kasugano was happy to comply, his palms gripping her "pet bears."
"Ah—" Fujino's face reddened, and she let out an involuntary moan.
The thugs inside were attracted by her soft cry and came out carrying baseball bats.
"Whoa, look at those two at the door!"
"Damn, this chick is top-tier!"
"Knock the guy out, we're taking the girl!"
The thugs rushed forward. Fujino touched her red lips with a pale finger, a look of disdain in her eyes as she cursed, "Filthy things, don't you dare touch me!"
Kaka-kaka—
Her Mystic Eyes of Distortion activated instantly. Everyone in front of her was twisted and snapped, dying on the spot. Only one thug hiding in the back, Keita Minato, saw the carnage and bolted in terror.
"Haruka-kun, one got away. What should we do?" Fujino asked, taking his hand to guide his touch.
"How about I let you hunt him down? Can you do that?" Haruka Kasugano laughed.
"I can~! I promise I won't disappoint Haruka-kun~!" Fujino smiled, her eyes hazy with devotion.
Haruka Kasugano then let Fujino go off to hunt Keita Minato. The bait was set, he just had to wait for the fish to bite.
------------
The next day, the mass death at the abandoned bar made the news. Touko Aozaki and Shiki Ryougi sat on the sofa watching the broadcast. Haruka Kasugano sat nearby, waiting for things to ferment.
Suddenly, a text arrived from Fujino.
[Haruka-kun, I ran into a classmate. We're going to have tea. Can the hunt wait a bit?]
[Of course. Enjoy your tea, we can handle the rest later.]
Haruka Kasugano replied and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Shiki asked curiously.
"I took on another student for tutoring. Heading to her session now," Haruka Kasugano smiled. "Interested in learning something too?"
"No way!" Shiki rejected him instantly, pouting as she went back to the TV.
Haruka Kasugano left with a grin. He soon arrived at the cafe where Fujino was. It was a trendy spot packed with young people. He easily spotted two girls wearing nun-style school uniforms.
Fujino Asagami and Azaka Kokutou. Both were top-tier beauties. Fujino looked the part of the virtuous wife—quiet, demure, and refined. Azaka was the opposite: lively, cute, and clearly a competitive type. She felt like a younger version of Aoko Aozaki. In terms of personality, she was like Rin Tohsaka, while Fujino leaned toward Sakura.
"Hello, ladies. Good morning!" Haruka Kasugano walked over.
Azaka turned to him, pouting curiously. "Who are you?"
"He is my tutor," Fujino answered quickly.
"Oh!" Azaka's expression shifted to realization. She leaned in close to Fujino and whispered, "Your tutor is really handsome! Why don't you take the chance to make a move?"
Fujino nodded shyly in silence, a flush rising to her cheeks.
"I was just passing by and saw my student. Thought I'd say hello. Carry on!" Haruka Kasugano waved and left.
Azaka and Fujino resumed their conversation.
"Remember what you told me last year? About that gentle 'Senpai' you met in middle school? It sounds like he went to the same school as my brother. I called my brother over—you should take the chance to ask him if he knows the guy!" Azaka laughed.
