"Tch, it's that scum Masaru Ogika again. He's giving me the chills. What is that guy planning now?"
Alistair was chatting idly with Mina when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He turned his head and saw Masaru Ogika, accompanied by a very familiar person.
Isn't that the soft-spoken Blond Guy who caused trouble at the party the night before last? Why is he hanging out with Masaru Ogika? Is this a case of birds of a feather flocking together? Do the essence of being a delinquent attract them to each other? Are they Delinquent Apostles? (Massive exaggeration)
The two who turned their heads met Alistair's gaze. Alistair gave them a provocative smile. Masaru Ogika didn't dare respond, turned his head away, and continued to talk to the soft-spoken Blond Guy.
"What's wrong? Is that Masaru Ogika? And some student I don't know." Mina looked in the direction Alistair was looking and saw the delinquent duo.
"Nothing, I just had a bad feeling. I turned around and saw him staring at me with ill intent. But he's just a guy I pinned down and beat..."
"I won't let you pin me down and play with me!"
Alistair said casually, only to be suddenly interrupted by a shout. Startled, he turned his head and found that the person who yelled was Natsuha Shinomiyagi.
Because Natsuha Shinomiyagi's sudden shout was so loud, Mina and Alistair, who were nearby, immediately felt their heads ringing. This unexpected situation and the content of her words not only shocked Mina and Alistair but also left everyone else in a daze.
Yesterday they got the scoop on Alistair, and today there's another scoop about Alistair? And this one is about the girl who sits behind him?
This is getting ridiculous.
The center of everyone's attention, Natsuha Shinomiyagi, had a flushed face and looked a little dazed, especially considering she had been sleeping on her desk just moments before.
A dream?
Given that reality couldn't be this absurd, everyone returned to what they were doing. Natsuha Shinomiyagi was probably dreaming, and Alistair had just said something that triggered her reaction. They had hoped for more gossip but were disappointed.
"Shinomiyagi-san, I don't think I've done anything to offend you, have I?" Alistair asked expressionlessly. The jump-scare earlier made him a bit annoyed. You were sleeping just fine, and the moment I speak, you wake up? Are you holding a grudge against me?
Mina Morita also looked at her with lingering fear, clearly quite shaken.
"N-no, nothing at all. I was just... just... I apologize deeply!" Natsuha Shinomiyagi snapped back to reality. Her previously scattered gaze became focused. With her sanity returned, Natsuha Shinomiyagi realized what she had just done and quickly apologized in a panic.
"It's fine, it was nothing. By the way, what did you dream about? Such an intense reaction." Seeing Natsuha Shinomiyagi apologize, Alistair dropped his stone-faced expression and asked with a slightly troubled look.
"Ah? That, that, well, it was nothing much. I'm just a little sensitive..." Natsuha Shinomiyagi couldn't look Alistair directly in the eye. Her gaze started wandering, making her look extremely guilty. Combined with the deep blush on her face, anyone looking on might have thought she was confessing her love.
But she couldn't say it. She absolutely couldn't. She couldn't possibly tell Alistair that she dreamed he found an opportunity to hold her captive, then took her to a secluded place to pin her against the wall to grope and taste her. How could she ever say something like that?
"Oh, I think I get it. It's fine. I understand. Just don't react so intensely next time, or rumors about me will be flying again." Seeing Natsuha Shinomiyagi's guilty, embarrassed look and her flushed face, as if she'd just had an orgasm, Alistair figured out what kind of dream Natsuha Shinomiyagi had. It was a wet dream, obviously. Judging by her shout, he could roughly guess the details: it was a dream where she was overpowered and taken by force. Alistair hadn't expected Natsuha Shinomiyagi to like that kind of kink.
"Um, Natsuha, maybe you should go wash your face to cool down?" Mina gently suggested, looking at Natsuha Shinomiyagi, who had been breathing heavily since she woke up. Although Alistair called Mina "Dummy," she wasn't brainless. Based on their conversation and Natsuha Shinomiyagi's evasiveness, she could guess what she had dreamed about. That's why she advised her to wash her face, which would also allow her to escape the first wave of scrutiny from the other students.
"Okay. Thank you. I think I really need to wash my face." With that, Natsuha Shinomiyagi quickly left the classroom and headed toward the restroom.
"Who do you think she dreamed about?" Once Natsuha Shinomiyagi left, Alistair rubbed his chin with interest and asked Mina. Mina and Natsuha Shinomiyagi had a good relationship; perhaps she knew. To be honest, Alistair was quite interested in Natsuha Shinomiyagi.
The last time Natsuha Shinomiyagi flirted with him, the side effects of the Saitama Training Method were acting up, so he couldn't respond much. But now, Alistair was full of vigor. As the saying goes, the forbidden fruit is the sweetest. He had already played with Mina and Kasumi, and it hadn't been long since then. While he wasn't bored, the untasted Natsuha Shinomiyagi was currently more attractive to Alistair.
"Probably a boy named Eita Yamano. We talked about him before. She said he's her childhood friend, and they promised to marry each other when they grew up. She's only separated from him now because she's one year older than Eita Yamano and transferred here for school. But their past experiences sound so pure and beautiful, like something out of a shojo manga. She said their relationship is still very strong." Mina's eyes sparkled, longing for the kind of relationship that seemed to exist mostly in manga and novels.
"Aren't there tons of relationships like that here? Why do you look so envious?" Alistair didn't understand. In this R-rated world with so many delinquents, weren't there plenty of childhood friends of both genders? Why be envious?
"There aren't that many childhood friends whose feelings are still so strong in real life. Most of the ones I see are like enemies or just treat each other like brothers." Mina countered.
"Alright, alright, you have a point."
Alistair didn't care. Regardless, he was certain Natsuha Shinomiyagi hadn't dreamed about her so-called childhood friend. A girl with such obvious characteristics (enormous breasts) as Natsuha Shinomiyagi couldn't possibly be a character in a "normal" plotline.
Although Alistair had no memory of Natsuha Shinomiyagi whatsoever, it didn't stop him from judging whether the person was the heroine of some R-rated plot based on their physical features. The most definitive feature was those breasts that were too large to be grasped in one hand.
What Alistair needed now was to either deal with Natsuha Shinomiyagi beforehand or interject when the plot developed. Based on the childhood friend setup, she was definitely a woman the delinquents would snatch from that guy named Eita. He didn't know how it would happen, but he'd keep an eye out for a while and figure out a way to handle her.
Based on the content of the dream he inferred—she likes to be forced and overpowered? She looks so dominant; is she an Outer-Sadist, Inner-Masochist type?
Should I just find an opportunity to kidnap her and take her by force? It wouldn't be the first time I've done that. Or should I have Mina help me lure her to a place where it's easy to strike? Maybe have Mina invite her over to the house?
Alistair looked at Mina, thinking that with this simple woman's obedient and docile nature, it might be worth a try. However, it seemed impossible right now. Yumiko (Mina's Mother) was keeping a close watch on Mina, and Mina and Natsuha Shinomiyagi were apparently doing extra training and private sessions at the Aikido club lately.
Never mind. I can postpone it for a while. For now, I'll keep a close watch on Masaru Ogika and that perpetually soft-faced delinquent Ryūji Matsuoka. Those two are the most likely to be involved in Natsuha Shinomiyagi's plot.
As he thought this, Alistair's gaze toward Masaru Ogika and Ryūji Matsuoka became highly suggestive.
