The Mob Character Shouldn't Have A Yandere Harem?!

101 - Into The Rift

"Are you all sure you want to do this?" Principal asked.

Bianca, Erica, Aoi, Irene, and I all stood in front of the Principal. Behind her was a rift, a tear through the fabric of our reality.

The others stood by the helicopter. We were all alone by the rift, except for the guards which blocked the area off from pedestrians and lower-ranked adventurers.

"An Open Rift is incredibly dangerous, and you usually wouldn't be able to go inside." Principal continued to explain. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes." I nodded.

"I will follow Ken." Irene stated.

"My brother..." Bianca murmured, nodding her head.

Erica glanced at Bianca, saddened by Bianca's current mood. "I'll do it." She decided.

"Yes." Aoi emotionlessly replied.

"Alright." Principal sighed. "I want you four to stay safe, no matter what. Even if you have to leave the rift early."

"Due to our info from Brandon before he went missing, time works the exact same in that world as ours does." She stated.

Adventurers often relay information to people outside through special phones which can connect through realities as long as the rift is still open.

You want to know why people are so freaked out about Brandon's "disappearance", enough to call the Principal?

It's because he stopped relaying information. He and the other S Rank have been silent for an hour or two now.

"We have 5 hours remaining until this rift closes. Even if you don't find Brandon, get back outside before time runs out. I don't want to lose you all too." Principal sadly informed.

This will be a race against time.

"And also, I've sent some important more info that we know to your phones." She added.

I glanced at my phone. Indeed, she had sent a text which contained information about known direction he went, and etc.

While I was on my phone, I decided to check the news. I looked at the titles all of the newspaper articles that were currently the hot topic this week.

"15 Dead From Minotaur Rift By Restaurant."

"Who Is The Children Of Lupercio? What Is Their Goal? A Discussion About The Group."

"Does The Rumored Cult Of Loki Exist?"

"Average Amount Of Rifts Increased By 50%, And Still Growing."

"Worried Because Of The Increase In Rifts? A Guide On Surviving A Monster Attack."

"Brandon Tsuki and Emi Yamamoto Enter A Rank Open Rift."

"New Conspiracy Theories Emerge About Our Current Time."

As you can tell, things are getting crazy. Crazy enough that conspiracy theories is a headline for an article.

"Hey!" A voice yelled, causing us to look over.

Goku Taiyou walked into the area. "What's with this super vague text Amber? And why have guards evacuated this whole area? What's going on? Is everything alright?"

"I can explain that." Principal replied, stepping in front of Goku and extending her arm for a handshake. "My name is Aiko Kato, Principal of Legacy High. You are Goku Taiyou, the S Rank and leader of the Taiyou Group, correct?"

"O-oh, yeah." Goku replied, slowly taking her hand and shaking it. "Pleasure to meet you."

Principal nodded. "We need your help. Brandon Tsuki and Emi Yamamoto have gone missing. I want you to go with Ken, Aoi, Irene, Erica, and Bianca into the Open Rift to find out what happened."
