Rosen looked behind him.
A girl with a bob cut and delicate features, with one hand resting on the desk, her brown eyes curiously examining him.
Kato Megumi.
A student in Class 1-A of Sobu High School, and also a female acquaintance of Rosen in this world with whom he had a decent relationship.
However, this was also thanks to the girl's approachable personality.
Initially, the two met because Kato Megumi took the initiative to start a conversation.
When Rosen turned to respond, it surprised the young girl a little.
After all, Kato Megumi's presence was extremely faint. Since enrolling, she had never been called upon by a teacher, and even students on duty on the same day only noticed Kato Megumi's presence after seeing the classroom already cleaned.
On weekdays, because of her weak presence, she didn't even have a classmate to talk to.
While it's true that island nation schools are prone to forming cliques and ostracizing others, Kato Megumi's faint presence caused people to unconsciously overlook her.
However, Rosen was unaffected.
After several interactions, Rosen's unique nature left a relatively deep impression on Kato Megumi.
What even Rosen didn't know was that Kato Megumi's anticipation for school had quietly added one more person.
"Is that so?"
Rosen glanced at himself.
He looked no different from his usual appearance.
He was wearing a Sobu High School boys' uniform.
Perhaps due to his height, he looked taller compared to his peers.
"Yes, there really is, because I've been observing you all morning," Kato Megumi nodded.
"According to the idioms in East Country, if Rosen was just a bit tall before, he now stands out like a crane among chickens."
"It's like encountering some kind of extraordinary event."
Rosen didn't pay attention to the detail of Kato Megumi having "observed him all morning" but instead showed a surprised expression.
There's a saying that lonely people often have stronger observational skills than others.
It seems this saying isn't wrong after all.
Excluding the possibility of a joke, Kato Megumi might have really discovered something.
"You really guessed it. I am Qin Shi Huang. Now, if you Venmo me 100 yuan, I'll make you a Grand General of the Founding Nation."
"That's an old meme."
"No jokes. If, one day, Megumi, you have the chance to become a transcendent, but the prerequisite is that you must sign a contract and dedicate your body and soul to someone, would you be willing?" Rosen asked with a smile.
After he said this, Kato Megumi propped her hands under her chin.
Carefully examining Rosen, she realized he was serious and began to consider it seriously herself.
After about ten seconds, Kato Megumi gave her answer, word by word: "If the person to be contracted is Rosen, then maybe I'd agree. If it's someone else, then no."
"Why?" Rosen was somewhat surprised.
However, he wasn't surprised by Kato Megumi's attitude toward the transcendent, but rather by her hesitation regarding whether the contractor was him.
Although it was a pleasant surprise, Rosen subconsciously wanted to know the reason.
"Hmm... how to put it, perhaps it's because when Rosen heard that my presence was very weak, he didn't have any improper thoughts about me? After all, a normal person hearing what I said would definitely take it as a joke, but Rosen considered it seriously and didn't act like a pervert."
"For example, because my presence is very weak, secretly kidnapping me to his basement to become his personal possession."
"Just kidding, but I was really happy that Rosen was willing to believe what I said at the time."
Kato Megumi said with a light laugh.
However, she then saw Rosen's serious expression.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with my answer?"
"No, there isn't, but now that you mention it, I just realized there's such an operation. If I could do it again, I would definitely kidnap Megumi and take her home."
"And then?"
"Of course, do things we love to do."
"..."
If they had chatted like this before, Rosen would definitely have been labeled as a perverted lecher.
But the two had been close for several months, and Kato Megumi currently only had him as a friend, so even some jokes were harmless.
Moreover, anyone who wasn't from East Country wouldn't immediately understand Rosen's words.
However, once she understood, even Kato Megumi couldn't help but blush.
What 'things we love to do'?
If that phrase was simplified, wouldn't it be doing...
"I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first." Rosen said goodbye and then strode out of the classroom.
Without a doubt, Yotsuya Miko must already be on the rooftop.
