Episode 117: Like listening to gossip about famous Asura scenes?
『 In the screen...
"Kusuo..." Aiura Mikoto stared blankly at Saiki. At this moment, she felt that he was exceptionally handsome.
"Can I kiss you?"
For some reason, Aiura Mikoto actually made such an impolite request to Saiki!
" "No!" "
Saiki refused firmly without even thinking.
"Wuwuwu!! At least let me hug you!!!"
Before she finished speaking, Aiura Mikoto hugged Saiki tightly without explanation.
After the hug, Aiura Mikoto suddenly burst into tears.
"That's great!! I thought you were really going to die!!"
Saiki helplessly looked at Aiura Mikoto, who was hugging him tightly, but in the next moment, his expression suddenly changed.
" "How could this happen!?" "
Saiki's eyes widened!
He suddenly turned around, looking incredulously at the presence behind him!
Because...
Behind him, it was actually!!!
" "Why!? What on earth is going on!?" "
Saiki was full of questions. He turned around, completely unaware that they would be behind him.
That's right!
Behind Saiki, Teruhashi Kokomi, and the others, who were supposed to be playing in Oshimai, actually appeared here!!
"What's going on? What are you guys doing... Saiki..."
Kaidou Shun was completely stunned, staring blankly at Saiki, who was being hugged by Aiura Mikoto.
And on the side, Teruhashi Kokomi watched the two embracing, a strange sourness welling up in her heart, her eyes full of complex emotions.
Saiki was silent. 』

『 Just at this moment, the screen image suddenly changed.
On the screen, it was still that group of people, Saiki, Kaidou Shun, and the others.
Only, the scene changed to Saiki's house.
Then, a line of text appeared on the screen.
⟦ Last time traveled to the future time ⟧
"Psychic!? What do you mean by that, Saiki..."
Kaidou Shun stared wide-eyed at the twisted spoon in his hand, looking bewildered, and stammered:
"This... this can't be magic, can it..."
Aren was also bewildered on the side, waving his hands repeatedly,
"Wait, wait! My mind can't process this..."
Yumehara Chiyo said with a flushed face,
"You can see through things!? So you can see us when we're not wearing clothes!?"
Teruhashi Kokomi shyly added,
"Compared to that, having your thoughts heard is even more terrifying, right..."
"Unacceptable! What on earth is going on!?"
"Club president! No... Saiki! You've been hiding this!?"
"Is there a switch to turn off this ability!?"
Saiki calmly looked at the people in front of him, as if he had already anticipated this moment.
After all, psychics and them don't live in the same dimension.
" "As expected... But it's understandable, alright, let's go back." "
Saiki stood up and walked towards the room door.
But just then...
"Saiki, wait!"
Kaidou Shun suddenly called out to Saiki.
Then...
The screen actually suddenly jumped back to Mt. Owari. 』

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Huh? What was that scene just now?" ]
[ Mona (Genshin Impact): "It's another scene. Did he use his psychic ability to jump to another timeline?" ]
[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "Traveling to another timeline, is such a thing really possible?" ]
[ Saitama (One Punch Man): "He's a psychic, so it's normal for him to do something like that, right?" ]
[ Tatsumaki (One Punch Man): "..." ]
[ Zhongli (Genshin Impact): "The ability to travel through time, that's truly wonderful." ]
[ Hu Tao (Genshin Impact): "Zhongli, what's wrong?" ]
[ .....]
『 However, Saiki in the video looked at Kaidou Shun and the others with surprise.
"Why!?"
Saiki was truly bewildered. He was too tired just now to use his psychic abilities to sense his surroundings.
And Kaidou Shun looked at Saiki in front of him with a bewildered expression.
"Saiki..."
" "How are they here!?""
Saiki asked.
"What on earth is going on!!" Kaidou Shun was dizzy and asked loudly.
"Why... why are there two Saikis!?" Aren, however, looked at Toritsuka Reita. To him, Toritsuka Reita was also Saiki.
Saiki's eyes widened.
" Oh right, because they were hypnotized, they mistook Toritsuka for me, but even if it was Toritsuka, he should know not to bring them here!! "
" What on earth is going on!!! "
Saiki was inexplicably flustered; his plan had been disrupted. 』

[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "Isn't that person the one who pretended to be Saiki before?" ]
[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "Now it's good, suddenly there are two identical people." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "It should be simple for Saiki, just hypnotize them or something." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Damn it, this ability is too convenient." ]
[ Oyama Mihari (Onimai): "Onee-chan, you don't have that ability now~" ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "....." ]
[ Sawamura Eriri (Saekano): "I always feel like you two are saying something very incredible." ]
[ .....]
『 In the video, Toritsuka Reita also looked flustered and explained,
"It's not my fault, it's a long story!"
Then, Toritsuka Reita explained why they came here.
Saiki's face was ashen; he hadn't anticipated this either.
In the end, it was because of the Saiko young master, Saiko Metori, who sent them up by helicopter!!!
He calculated everything, but he missed this guy!!
" "It seems you understand.""
Toritsuka Reita sighed after speaking, saying helplessly.
This really wasn't his business...
" "Hmm... This is really troublesome now.""
Saiki sighed,
"I was fully focused on stopping the volcanic eruption and didn't notice at all."
At this moment, Kaidou Shun and Aren questioned,
"Hey!!! Saiki, explain it! How can there be two Saikis!!!"
"And that earthquake just now, what were you doing lying on the ground!!!"
Yumehara Chiyo pointed out, strangely,
"You were even hugging Mikoto."
Teruhashi Kokomi's heart was already in a mess. She asked dizzyingly,
"What... what's your relationship!?"
"What on earth is going on!?"
"Are you two dating?"
"HEY, HEY, HEY!! CONFESS HONESTLY! SAIKI!!"
Saiki glanced at Toritsuka Reita next to him. Toritsuka Reita scratched his head and quickly took over,
"Leave the rest to me."
Then, he suddenly said shyly,
"Oh dear!! I guess I'll have to tell the truth!"
Suddenly, he put his arm around Saiki's shoulder and announced,
"We're twins! Right~"
Saiki was completely bewildered. 』

[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "HAHAHA! TWINS? THAT EXCUSE IS JUST TOO FUNNY!" ]
[ Yukinoshita Yukino (Oregairu): "Sensei, could you please lower your voice?" ]
[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "Ah, my bad, my bad." ]

『 But there was nothing he could do about the current situation. Faced with everyone's questions, Saiki could only brace himself and continue with the topic.
However...
"Um, we're leaving now."
Suddenly, the other clones, who had returned here at some point, felt like they might have caused trouble as soon as they appeared...
At this moment...
The whole place was silent.
Everyone stared blankly at the gradually disappearing Saiki clones, their eyes wide.
Saiki: "..."
Then...
"We're sextuplets~"
This excuse was even more outrageous!!!
No one with a clear mind would believe this reason. 』

[ Oyama Mihari (Onimai): "God damn sextuplets." ]
[ Sheele (Akame Ga Kill): "Sextuplets, how incredible." ]
[ Najenda (Akame Ga Kill): "No, no, there's no way that's possible." ]

『 In the video, Toritsuka Reita was still desperately explaining!
"It's really like that!! The one on the far right is Jyuushio, and the one in the middle is Choroo—."
Suddenly!
"Alright, alright, stop talking!!!"
Kaidou Shun suddenly shouted, his eyes full of sadness.
"Don't hide it anymore!! Tell us the truth!! Aren't we partners!!! At least I consider you my buddy!! I've always trusted you!! And I hope you can trust me too!!!"
"So..."
"Don't hide it anymore!!"
As soon as Kaidou Shun said this, the others followed suit.
"That's right! Say whatever you want to say!" by Mera Chisato.
"No matter what it is, I won't change my mind about Saiki!!" by Teruhashi Kokomi.
Yumehara Chiyo wanted to say something, but her attention was suddenly drawn by Teruhashi Kokomi!
She looked surprised!
What Teruhashi Kokomi said, how was it any different from a confession!!
Aiura Mikoto looked at the scene, also a little exasperated, and turned to Saiki, saying,
"Now, I'm afraid you'll have to come clean..."
Saiki said nothing...
Then...
" "No, I'm sorry, I can't say, at least not yet." "
Saiki gave up the idea of confessing.
Looking at Saiki's appearance, Kaidou Shun kept pressing him.
"Saiki!!! Tell me..."
"It's nothing big, really."
Just as Kaidou Shun was about to press further, Nendou Riki suddenly spoke up.
"If someone doesn't want to say something, don't force them."
The others turned to Nendou Riki in surprise.
Nendou Riki continued,
"Even if I'm not very smart, it won't change anything if I hear it, so why do I have to hear it?"
"Who doesn't have a little secret? Good friends are still good friends! Is it called a best friend if you have to make them say something they don't want to talk about?"
Nendou Riki's words stunned everyone.
Even those watching the video were surprised by Nendou Riki.
After all, who would have thought that such profound words would come from the mouth of Nendou Riki, that big idiot?
Nendou Riki in the video, at this moment, seemed to be radiating a divine glow from head to toe!
"When he wants to say it himself, that's what a best friend is!"
Kaidou Shun and the others fell silent.
It was impossible not to be moved at all.
Because...
Nendou was actually talking sense!
"I fully agree!"
At this moment, the class president, Hairo, also walked over and suddenly interjected.
"Sometimes keeping a secret isn't because you don't trust the other person, but for their own good. You consider them and hide it for now, waiting until they're willing to speak!"
But Kaidou Shun was still a bit confused.
In his opinion, complete trust between each other was the way to go.
But then,
"Kaidou-kun!"
Yumehara Chiyo suddenly called out to Kaidou Shun.
"Kaidou-kun, I like you. I've always liked Kaidou-kun, but saying it might cause you trouble."
"Even with trust, sometimes it's hard to say 'I like you,' right, Kokomi?"
Yumehara Chiyo said, looking at Teruhashi Kokomi next to her, revealing a sly smile.
"Eh!?... Ah... um... maybe... maybe..."
Teruhashi Kokomi's face instantly turned crimson, just like Kaidou Shun's, which was already flushed.
"I'll also wait until he's willing to speak. I also have a past I don't want to mention, and that's okay."
"Me too, I'll wait!"
"Hehe, I'm not interested in you peasant, but if you really want me to listen, it's not impossible."
Aiura Mikoto looked at the scene in front of her, then turned to Saiki and said,
"Kusuo, even if you tell them everything, they'll definitely accept you."
Saiki was silent for a moment.
He slowly spoke:
" "Hmm... I understand." "
The scene shifted,
The screen actually returned to Saiki's room.
Saiki was standing by the door, about to leave, when Kaidou Shun and the others called out to him from behind.
"Saiki, wait a minute!!"
Kaidou Shun shouted loudly,
"Even though I'm still a little dizzy right now, we will always be buddies!!"
Nendou Riki showed a shy expression,
"That's right~~ We're forever best friends (said bashfully)"
Aren said with a smile,
"Thank you for being willing to tell me, boss!"
Teruhashi Kokomi blushed, but still showed an angelic smile,
"Me too, I'm so happy you can accept the real me and are willing to be with me."
Hairo was incredibly excited,
"So this is the secret of the club president's strength!!"
Yumehara Chiyo's cheeks were flushed, but she said seriously,
"Since it's natural, there's no point in being shy about it now~"
Then, everyone started chattering.
"That's truly amazing! I never thought there were real psychics in the world!"
"You must have had a very difficult time all these years. You've worked hard, Saiki!"
"I'm truly sorry, we've never understood your difficulties!"
As these words were spoken, the camera returned to the present reality.
Saiki had a smile on his lips.
" "Although the relationship isn't exactly the same as it was then, I know in my heart that they will accept me sooner or later." "
Saiki sighed lightly, looking at the group of people in front of him.
"Oh dear... they really are a troublesome bunch."
Although Saiki said this, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
This time,
He didn't use telepathy. 』

『 Just after that...
The scene in the video suddenly began to rewind!!
Finally, the place shown on the screen was Saiki's house!
"So, you went back a day ago again, and destroyed that helicopter early? This time, you stopped the volcanic eruption without being discovered, and then went home, right?"
A blond man walked up to Saiki and spoke.
At this moment, a line of text appeared at the bottom of the screen.
⟦ Saiki Kusuke, Saiki's older brother, a genius scientist ⟧
"That's right."
Saiki looked at his older brother with unusually calm eyes.
"So, everything that could have been exposed has been canceled?"
Saiki Kusuke's voice carried a hint of excitement,
"Even that girl's brave confession never happened?"...
After hearing his brother's words, Saiki nodded slightly.
"For that, I truly feel sorry for her from the bottom of my heart."
Saiki Kusuke sighed, asking in confusion,
"Are you still planning to hide your psychic abilities?"
Saiki listened to Kusuke's question, remained silent for a moment, then shook his head,
"No, I will tell them."
As he spoke, he took out something from a drawer that resembled the controller on his head, but this one was smaller and more exquisite.
"A psychic ability sealing device... Are you still planning to wear it?" 』
