Episode 110: Purple Mother, forever seventeen years old!! (It's not that I'm self-serving~)
~ Dimensional livestream, Chat Room ~
[ Senju Tsunade (Naruto): "Will this really work? Love fortune-telling and all that." ]
[ Saitama (One Punch Man): "Although I don't understand it, I just feel like it's not like that." ]
[ Mona (Genshin Impact): "Amazing, is this the fortune-telling of another world? But why does it feel so simple?" ]
[ Fujibayashi Ryou (Clannad): Wow, that's amazing!~ ]
[ Fortuneteller Baba ( Dragon Ball): "Simplicity is truth." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "This girl looks like she's easy to trick." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): I feel like I could trick her into coming home with me. ]
[ Oyama Mihari (Onimai): "Onii-chan, you don't have that function anymore either~" ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "..." ]

『 In the screen,
Aiura Mikoto suddenly let out a chuckle, looked up at Yumehara Chiyo, and said,
"Only a 2% compatibility index, that's hilarious."
Upon hearing this, Yumehara Chiyo stared at her in shock, feeling as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer. She blurted out,
"What do you know!?"
Aiura Mikoto, however, responded kindly,
"In short, you'd best give up on the person you're currently interested in."
Yumehara Chiyo immediately became furious and shouted,
"What is this!! It's completely unbelievable!!"
But then, Aiura Mikoto's next sentence completely stunned her.
"Chiyo-chan's love life seems a bit unlucky, doesn't it? The men you meet aren't great, right? You spend money like water, and you have a whole basket of problems."
Each sentence was like a sharp knife, piercing Yumehara Chiyo's heart. Finally, with tears in her eyes, she cried out, "I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!," and ran out of the classroom, sobbing.
Saiki Kusuo, who was standing by, was dumbfounded.
She's already in so much pain, yet she's still stubbornly saying she doesn't believe it...
However, Saiki Kusuo's attention quickly turned to Aiura Mikoto, who was preparing to tell the next person's fortune.
"However, this girl really does have some true skill. When she was fortune-telling just now, I could feel a large number of keywords related to Yumehara-san flashing in her mind."
"She wasn't talking nonsense. As expected, this person is a psychic!"
"Although I'm not sure what her specific ability is... but..." Saiki Kusuo looked at Aiura Mikoto, a faint unease rising in his heart: "Oh no, will she discover my true identity!?"
Suddenly, a voice familiar to everyone burst out from the video screen.
Following that, the utterly strange figure of Toritsuka Reita came into view.
"Can I get a fortune told? I really want you to help me see. Perhaps this is our destiny. Hello, I'm Toritsuka from the next class."
Toritsuka Reita held an unknown rose in his hand and said with what he thought was a handsome smile.
"No way, disgusting. Who are you?" Aiura Mikoto glanced at Toritsuka Reita, immediately pulled a long face, and responded with full disdain.
"Okay... sorry..." Toritsuka Reita instantly seemed to suffer a heavy blow and fell into a state of self-seclusion. 』

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "As expected, this guy is as perverted as ever, just going straight for it." ]
[ Amber (Genshin Impact): "What a strange, weirdo." ]
[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "This constantly horny bug is truly disgusting." ]
[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "Isn't that right, President-sama?" ]
[ Miyuki Shirogane (Love Is War): "?? (I don't know.)" ]
[ .....]
『 "Um!! I have a question!"
At this moment, a girl nervously walked behind Aiura Mikoto and eagerly asked.
"Hmm? What's the situation this time?"
Aiura Mikoto turned around and looked at the newcomer with curiosity.
"Can you find my missing father!?" the girl pleaded.
Upon hearing this, Aiura Mikoto frowned and asked, "What's your name?"
"Chisato Mera!"
Aiura Mikoto nodded: "Alright. Chisato-chan, I'll help you find your father."
With that, she struck a peculiar pose that left the viewers of the video somewhat confused and surprised, as her appearance indeed had a touch of a mysterious shrine maiden. 』
『 .....』
~ Dimensional livestream, Chat Room ~
[ Kirino Kōsaka (Oreimo): "She has that shrine maiden vibe, just like a senior." ]
[ Sanae Kochiya (Touhou): "Does she really look like a shrine maiden...?" ]
[ Marisa Kirisame (Touhou): "She looks completely different from that Reimu." ]
[ Reimu Hakurei (Touhou): "?? Why are you talking about me for no reason? Go watch the video." ]
[ Yukari Yakumo (Touhou): "Hehehe." ]
[ .....]
『 In the screen,
The next moment, she acted!
She grabbed a pencil, quickly pressed the barrel to extend the lead, used a small knife to shave off the lead dust, held it in her palm, and scattered it around, then slapped her hand back, patting the lead dust onto Toritsuka Reita's white shirt.
Toritsuka Reita: "?! What's going on???"
Aiura Mikoto seriously examined the pencil dust on Toritsuka Reita's back and announced,
"In Puerto Rico."
"Eh? Puerto... where??"
Chisato Mera looked at Aiura Mikoto with a face full of surprise and pressed on.
"It's next to the Dominican Republic. Hmm... I'm not in good shape today, so I can only find this much." Aiura Mikoto said apologetically to Chisato Mera.
After hearing this, Chisato Mera waved her hand in satisfaction: "It's alright, thank you so much!! I'll go look for him now!!"
With that, Chisato Mera turned and rushed out of the classroom.
Saiki Kusuo was speechless. He was really curious how Chisato Mera would go about searching...
But what shocked him even more was the new transfer student, Aiura Mikoto. Her astonishing ability surprised even him, a possessor of many psychic powers.
" Does this woman actually have the ability to find people? To find someone without any clues, even I can't do that. What kind of secret does her ritual hold? "
Saiki Kusuo frowned. He felt very uncomfortable with the situation being out of his control.
And his doubts were soon answered by other female classmates.
"Can I ask, what exactly were you doing just now?"
The female classmates all stared at Aiura Mikoto with curious eyes. After all, having a fortune teller appear so close to them was very appealing.
"Oh~ that, it was just an impromptu act."
Aiura Mikoto's answer was unexpected by everyone. They all thought it was a necessary ritual before her fortune-telling.
"I just do some small actions to inspire myself. Normally, just looking at a crystal ball would be enough."
As Aiura Mikoto spoke, the camera specifically gave a close-up of the crystal ball covered in ornaments.
Next, a single sentence from Aiura Mikoto left everyone, including those watching the video, somewhat speechless.
"But there are too many decorations on the crystal ball; it makes my eyes dizzy."
For a moment, the entire room was silent. Everyone was muttering to themselves. If the decorations were too much of a hindrance, why didn't she remove them?
Saiki Kusuo, on the other hand, looked at Aiura Mikoto with a blank expression, his brows tightly furrowed.
"In short, I need to be careful and make sure I don't get involved with that ritual."
But then, Aiura Mikoto slumped onto the desk, saying with a helpless expression,
"Somehow, I just feel off today."
The surrounding female classmates looked at each other with worry and asked concernedly,
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"No~"
Aiura Mikoto sighed, her face full of sorrow: "I can see people's auras, the kind of thing that lets you instantly see their vitality, luck, and potential, but now I can't see anything."
Upon hearing this, even Saiki Kusuo's mouth dropped open in surprise, his eyes complex.
" She has an ability like that? Just being looked at by her is pretty dangerous... "
At this moment, a girl curiously asked, "Then why did you transfer to our school?"
This question seemed to flip a switch. Aiura Mikoto, who had been listless just a moment ago, instantly perked up, her face flushed, and she excitedly said,
"Want to know!?"
Without waiting for a response, she shyly played with her hair and softly said:
"Actually, it's like this, I told my own fortune, and he seems to be at this school."
Saying that, she shyly lowered her head.
"He?"
The girls in the class, upon hearing this, were like shrews sniffing out gossip, their eyes gleaming with curiosity.
"Hehe, he's my destined one~"
As soon as Aiura Mikoto said this, the girls immediately erupted into chatter. After all, at this age, who could resist the temptation of a destined one?
Meanwhile, Saiki Kusuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, constantly reassuring himself:
" Just based on aura, she might not recognize me. Anyway... It's best not to get involved. "
"So, what clues do you have about your destined one?"
"Is he in our class?"
While Saiki Kusuo was trying to convince himself, the girls were chattering and pressing Aiura Mikoto for answers.
"Oh, clues... pink hair. Although I don't know why, he's very talented. His name's initials are S K."
Saiki Kusuo: "...What??"
" Note: Saiki Kusuo, his initials are indeed S K. "
"Hey, hey, really? You can know so much just from fortune-telling!?"
In the video, Saiki Kusuo froze after hearing Aiura Mikoto's words, staring at her in disbelief.
Through telepathy, he knew that Aiura Mikoto wasn't lying; her mind indeed contained keywords related to him.
But precisely because of this, Saiki Kusuo felt particularly tricky and annoyed.
After all, wanting a normal life, getting entangled with someone like this wasn't a good thing.
"This woman is too troublesome. I need to find a way!"
Saiki Kusuo's thoughts were conveyed to every viewer through the video, making everyone curious about how he would deal with this "trouble."
Next,
"Seriously, how did it come to this? I never expected Aiura Mikoto to be able to foresee the future and see auras. If she sees my aura, she'll discover that I'm her destined one, and she'll also discover that I have psychic powers."
"There's no other way. I really didn't want to use this move."
Saiki Kusuo clenched his fists, seemingly having made up his mind.
Then the screen changed, and a line of text appeared.
" The Next Day " 』
『 .....』
~ Dimensional livestream, Chat Room ~
[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): Wait, how did it just jump straight to the next day? ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Oh my, what about the previous method? Does that mean this method can only be used on the second day?" ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Hmm, that must be it." ]
[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "Is she here, is she here? What will the girl targeted by a psychic be like?" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Why does what you're saying sound so terrifying?" ]
[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "Hehehe." ]
[ .....]
『 The camera shifted to Saiki Kusuo's house.
He looked serious, as if he had made a major decision.
"It seems this is the only way..."
As soon as he said this, everyone pricked up their ears. Could it be that Saiki Kusuo was finally going to make a move!?
Everyone's curiosity was piqued, itching to know what Saiki Kusuo was up to.
The result...
"I'll take a day off..."
However, even though he took a day off, he instantly teleported to a tall building near the school and secretly observed the class situation with his X-ray vision.
And at this moment, the screen was as if it had merged with Saiki Kusuo's X-ray vision, directly displaying everything he saw.
"Huh? Saiki didn't come to class today?"
Kaidou Shun looked around in surprise, while Aren Kuboyasu beside him also said with some astonishment,
"He really knows how to take a day off, quite refreshing... although I didn't come to school yesterday either."
Aren's face then broke into a smile, and he curiously looked at Kaidou Shun and asked, "Oh, right! I heard there's a new transfer student in class??? Who is it?"
"Transferring at this time, this person is indeed a bit strange."
As Aren said this, Kaidou Shun gave him a helpless glance and muttered,
"Didn't you transfer at this time too...? Did you forget?"
However, he still pointed to Aiura Mikoto, who was surrounded by people not far away, and said,
"It's her."
Aren looked over and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "What!? So popular!"
"Of course, after all, she herself said she's a psychic." Kaidou Shun's lips curled slightly, clearly showing his disbelief.
Aren raised an eyebrow, suppressing a laugh.
"A psychic? Fool! There's no such thing as psychics!"
Aren said, shrugging, "But whether it's Saiko or this one, transfer students are really all quite eccentric..."
As he was speaking, he noticed Aiura Mikoto walking towards him.
"Eh! You, you, you, you... What are you doing...?"
Facing the approaching Aiura Mikoto, even Aren, who was once the leader of a biker gang, couldn't help but feel a bit flustered.
"Oh~ you're not an ordinary person, are you? You must have experienced quite a few intense battles, right? Your aura is particularly sharp; it feels like touching it would cause injury, especially the momentum at the tips of your hair. It's truly not to be underestimated."
Aiura Mikoto looked Aren up and down, smiling slightly as she spoke. 』

~ Dimensional livestream, Chat Room ~
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Why can she see that thing appearing on another person?" ]
[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "And this happened after Saiki left. No, perhaps this is her original ability, just that it was suppressed by Saiki's powerful psychic abilities before." ]
[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "Just by existing, can he suppress other people's abilities?" ]
[ Mona (Genshin Impact): "Terrifying." ]
[ Najenda (Akame Ga Kill): "If only this ability could directly suppress Esdeath's ability." ]
[ Esdeath (Akame Ga Kill): "Hahaha! Interesting, truly interesting." ]
[ Esdeath (Akame Ga Kill): "Najenda, please keep that pure young man safe. I will find you soon." ]
[ Tatsumi (Akame Ga Kill): "...(It's been so long, "a few hours", why does she still remember this...)" ]
[ Rista (Cautious Hero): "Facing my hero, you just watch!" ]
[ Esdeath (Akame Ga Kill): "A hero, hehehe, like those scums from other races?" ]
[ Rista (Cautious Hero): "You!" ]
(Seiya Ryuguuin indicated that he didn't want to speak, but quietly prepared for all possible enemy confrontations. Yes, his ultimate move was already charging infinitely, preferably ensuring that she would be eliminated on her way to attack.)
[ .....]
『 In the screen,
A strong, purple, thorn-like power emanated from Aren. The tips of his purple hair, at some point, had a golden gleam, shining brightly.
Aren stared at Aiura Mikoto with wide eyes, utterly shocked.
The secret of his hair tips, besides a few close friends like Kaidou, no one knew. How did this new transfer student know!?
How did this person connect me to my hair tips!?
As he was thinking, Saiki Kusuo's voice came from the video.
"It was indeed right not to come to school. She observed Kuboyasu very carefully; she really has some skill! This is a big problem now. If I can't find a way to break that ability, I won't be able to go back to school."
As he spoke, Aiura Mikoto on the screen suddenly put her arm around Kuboyasu Aren's.
"Let go!!!"
When had Aren, this innocent young boy, ever been so close to such a sturdy girl? His face instantly flushed red, and he shouted loudly.
"Just call me Mikoto-chan~ I like strong men~"
Upon hearing Aiura Mikoto's words, Aren yelled with a red face, "I don't care what you call me! Let go! What even is an aura!!"
Aiura Mikoto explained, upon hearing this, "It's common in manga, you know. I can see the aura around everyone~ Through aura, I can understand a person's emotions, personality, and strength."
