"Now I'm going to ask you, Yoshino. Do you know any boys there? Answer honestly, okay?" After playing, Toujou Nozomi grabbed Yoshino's shoulders and looked at her with a smiling face.
However, the visible black aura emanating from behind her made Yoshino start to tremble.
Seeing Toujou Nozomi like this, Yoshino knew what the consequences would be if her answer didn't satisfy Toujou Nozomi, so she had to answer carefully.
"Everyone in the class is very kind to Yoshino, but only Accelerator, the class monitor, has a slightly better relationship with Yoshino."
Yoshino, with her shoulders gripped, lowered her head and spoke somewhat weakly. Although she had a good relationship with everyone in the class, no boys dared to speak much with Yoshino.
And every time, she noticed that when a boy couldn't help but approach, a few other boys would come and drag that boy away.
After that, she never saw that boy come to find Yoshino again. It happened every time, and Yoshino didn't know why.
"Is that really all? Yoshino, are you not lying to me? Are there any other boys?" Toujou Nozomi released Yoshino's shoulders, crossed her arms in front of her, and squinted at Yoshino.
She wouldn't believe that no other boys had approached Yoshino during this time. There must be boys outside of school as well.
Yoshino was so cute, those boys in their mating season surely couldn't resist.
"Uh... uh, also, also Mr. Kamijou." Although there wasn't much of a relationship, Yoshino felt in her heart that if she said it, Kamijou Touma would have bad luck.
But the desire not to hide it from Toujou Nozomi outweighed her concern for Kamijou Touma, so Yoshino finally decided to reveal Kamijou Touma. Anyway, Mr. Kamijou was already unlucky enough, a little more bad luck wouldn't matter, right? This is what Yoshino thought. If Mr. Kamijou knew, would he be moved to tears by Yoshino's trust?
"Mr. Kamijou?" Toujou Nozomi turned her head slightly, looking at Shiina in confusion.
To get more information about this Mr. Kamijou, she had to ask that hand puppet rabbit. That guy would definitely tell her everything without making a fuss.
And the facts proved that Toujou Nozomi was right; that guy indeed told Toujou Nozomi everything without making a fuss, even exaggerating the story.
"He's a super unlucky guy named Kamijou Touma~ Yoshino met him when she went to the supermarket to buy ingredients. He's a very, very bad person~ He took advantage of Yoshino's kindness to buy himself a lot of ingredients because he was unlucky. Now it seems he's even eyeing Yoshino, wanting to take her back as his wife~"
So, while the matter of buying ingredients for Kamijou Touma was true, it was because Yoshino felt sorry for Mr. Kamijou and voluntarily bought them for him.
As for the part about wanting to take her back as his wife? Are you sure that really happened?
Yoshino looked at Shiina, who was spouting nonsense. What are you even saying? It's completely unrelated to the facts! Besides his name, what else did you get right?
"Is that so, this boy named Kamijou Touma?" However, Toujou Nozomi believed Shiina's words. After all, she believed that Kamijou Touma approached Yoshino with an ulterior motive. So, in Toujou Nozomi's heart, Kamijou Touma was thus branded as a 'bad guy.'
"N-no, don't say that about Mr. Kamijou. Sister Nozomi, believe me, Mr. Kamijou is a good person. He wouldn't be like Shiina says. Yoshino only wants to have a good relationship with Mr. Kamijou so he can help Yoshino in the future. You have to believe me, Sister Nozomi."
Although she had no interest in Mr. Kamijou, Yoshino still felt a bit guilty seeing a good person like Mr. Kamijou suffer.
However, how much use this would be, you can tell by looking at Toujou Nozomi's increasingly dark face.
The more Yoshino explained for Kamijou Touma, the more Toujou Nozomi disliked this person named Kamijou Touma.
Because in Toujou Nozomi's heart, Yoshino's behavior confirmed the saying: explanation is concealment, and concealment is the truth.
If there were data, Toujou Nozomi's favorability towards Kamijou Touma would definitely be plummeting like water right now.
However, Toujou Nozomi's face still maintained its usual smile, as if she believed Yoshino's explanation.
"All right. I understand. I can believe your explanation, Yoshino. You know you can't have too much intimate contact with those boys, understand?"
Seeing Yoshino's frantic explanations and tearful expression, Toujou Nozomi hugged Yoshino and gently stroked her back.
Yoshino felt Toujou Nozomi's gentleness and slowly began to calm down. She buried her head in Toujou Nozomi's chest, quietly savoring the long-missed tenderness.
"You must be very tired from that guy named Suzuya Yuriko at home, Yoshino."
Toujou Nozomi looked at Yoshino's spoiled behavior and knew that Yoshino might have been bullied over there. But it was by Suzuya Yuriko, with whom she lived.
"Because she has now become a carnivorous person, Yoshino is always on edge every time she goes home. And because Yoshino signed a contract with her, she now knows about your existence, Toujou Nozomi. She is the Number One of the science side in that world, you are now hated, Toujou Nozomi."
Being targeted by someone with such high combat power, who knows if there will be some kind of love triangle when they meet in the future?
"Number One? What does that matter? I'm not someone who would be afraid just because the other party is some Number One esper. I'm different now, I've been reborn."
A purple aura emanated from her, making Shiina, who was originally smiling playfully, suddenly become serious. This was truly unexpected, wasn't it?
"You've already reached this point? Only a few days should have passed there, right? Why do you have this power now? Even if you are the protagonist of that world, it shouldn't be like this."
In just a few days, she had already progressed from a mortal to this level? What a monster, Toujou Nozomi.
"I also have to thank alaya for her help. Because of her, I've learned many training methods, and now I'm very confident that I can help Yoshino a lot."
After Toujou Nozomi smiled triumphantly, she leaned towards Yoshino's small lips under everyone's astonished gaze.
Immediately, the two had zero-distance intimate contact. Those who were shy covered their eyes, but still peeked at the two through large gaps in their fingers.
Just as Yoshino began to feel hazy, Toujou Nozomi released her and looked at the gloomy Shiina.
"Though I guessed you'd already taken Yoshino's first time, have you reached the point where you no longer hide it from me, Toujou Nozomi?" This is a bit much. Do you think I don't exist?
"You wouldn't be unaware of it, I know." Shiina must have felt the energy that secretly slipped into Yoshino.
"You… really are full of surprises." Could she really think of such a method? As expected of Toujou Nozomi!
'Now I'm not really separated from Yoshino anymore,' Toujou Nozomi thought triumphantly.
