"Eh!!! Classmate Saten, did you say Yoshino already has someone she likes?"
Perhaps due to Mikoto's unique charm, she had successfully integrated with everyone. When she heard Saten Ruiko mention this, Mikoto shouted loudly.
This made Yoshino, who was still quietly eating her crepe nearby, blush instantly.
This was a public street, and shouting so loudly would be heard by many people.
And in fact, many people did hear it. Just as Yoshino was cutely eating her crepe like a small animal, she had already attracted attention. Both students and working men and women secretly took photos of Yoshino's cute appearance with their phones, planning to enjoy them at home that night and even make them their phone wallpapers, when they heard this explosive news.
After a few seconds of stunned, they all looked up with a glimmer of hope. Seeing Yoshino's shy expression, they felt their hearts shatter.
However, after a few seconds of heartbreak, an anonymous anger rose within them, believing that the other party had used some means to deceive the seemingly pure Yoshino.
Everyone felt an impulse to find the guy who had deceived Yoshino and give him a good beating.
And just then, a group of people wearing Tsuchimikado Middle School uniforms suddenly appeared before them, discussing certain matters.
After speaking, they seemed to have achieved some objective, shaking hands amicably and nodding. The matter was settled.
'Hehehe~ It seems Yoshino's fan club, after this opportunity, will no longer be limited to the scope of Tsuchimikado Middle School. They've started to expand beyond the school. How interesting. Compared to Shokuhou Misaki's method of manipulating people's minds with her ability, this unconscious formation of her own faction within Academy City... I wonder how many people would believe it if this story got out.'
Shiina, who witnessed all of this, chuckled to herself. This was good too; the power of faith formed this way, when it later entered Yoshino's body, should bring about some very interesting changes.
"I also really didn't want to believe it, but it's something Yoshino herself admitted, so I can't deny it."
Sighing helplessly, a few days ago, after their 'friendly' interrogation of the spiky-haired high school student, they realized he was merely someone who had successfully flirted, not a boyfriend.
However, everyone also felt they had been too foolish. Thinking about it, how could someone as cute as Yoshino choose such a lame person as a boyfriend? They really overthought it.
At the time, this thought was expressed without reservation in front of Mr. Kamijou, making him feel that this was even more hurtful than the 'friendly' interrogation, causing him to shed tears.
"Is that so? Then who is lucky enough to have such a good girlfriend as Yoshino?"
Shirai Kuroko frowned slightly. She had a very high regard for Yoshino, though not like Mikoto.
However, to her, if such a pure existence as Yoshino were led astray by someone, it would definitely be a loss for humanity, and she had to do something.
"I don't know. When I asked Yoshino, she didn't want to say. I also don't feel comfortable asking about her privacy; it would be impolite to Yoshino. However, I heard Shiina say that Yoshino really likes the feeling of being around that person. You can ask Shiina for the details."
The fan club had been investigating information related to Yoshino for the past few days, sometimes even having people secretly follow Yoshino to see if they could discover who the person was.
However, each time, they either found nothing or were taught a lesson by an unknown person and then released. It wasn't that they weren't trying hard, but that they were powerless.
"Is that so? Classmate Shikino." Shirai Kuroko looked at the shy Yoshino, who was uncomfortably eating her crepe, and knowing she wouldn't get an answer, she had to give up.
After all, it was a personal matter, and Shirai Kuroko, being well-educated, would not force someone to reveal their secrets.
"So, Bunny, is this true?"
"Of course, and didn't I tell you? Yoshino even gave her first kiss to that person."
Shiina said it loudly, with a look of feigned confusion but a mischievous heart.
This 'un(intentional)' remark made the people who were still talking to Tsuchimikado Middle School freeze again.
The faces of the Tsuchimikado Middle School students also darkened, and their hands clenched tightly.
They knew what the emotion in their hearts was—it was anger!
"Shiina!"
Even Yoshino, as slow as she was, now understood that Shiina had done it on purpose. She covered its mouth, not letting it speak.
However, in everyone's eyes, her action became an admission of guilt, making the situation even harder to explain.
But the fact that Yoshino had lost her first kiss was undeniable.
Thinking of Sister Nozomi's kiss that night, Yoshino lightly touched her lips. The memory of that night, a somewhat addictive feeling, made Yoshino unconsciously smile, her heart filled with sweetness.
However, everyone's expressions grew even gloomier because of this, especially those from Tsuchimikado Middle School, who were already sporting twisted smiles. Indeed, that person could not be forgiven.
They absolutely had to hang that person on a cross, make him fully understand his sins, and then let raging flames burn away his transgressions.
"Achoo!" In another world, Toujou Nozomi sneezed due to this powerful resentment. She was puzzled as to why she suddenly sneezed when her body was perfectly fine.
"Sister Nozomi, what's wrong? Are you catching a cold?" Ayase Eli, who was in the student council room, asked with a hint of worry.
After Yoshino left, her workload began to increase again.
Ah~ I really miss those easy days. Was she also starting to become decadent?
"Well~ it's probably because Yoshino is thinking of me right now. After all, Yoshino is a child who gets lonely easily."
'Wait for me a little longer, Yoshino. Sister Nozomi is also working hard now.' Toujou Nozomi, with her back to Ayase Eli, had a ball of purple light appear in her hand, but this time it was even more dazzling than before.
"It seems you really like that person, Yoshino."
Misaka Mikoto, though usually carefree, could still see Yoshino's genuine affection.
"Yes, I like him the most."
She gestured to the Muse necklace, which was filled with everyone's care and love. Everyone had always been by her side.
"Um, why were the bank doors closed this morning?"
Uiharu Kazari asked curiously, looking at the tightly shut bank doors in the distance.
'It seems it's about to begin.'
Suddenly, before everyone could react, the bank doors exploded.
