"We meet again, Mr. Kamijou."
After school in the afternoon, the two, who had gone to the supermarket with Saten Ruiko to buy ingredients and discuss matters related to abilities, saw the unlucky Mr. Kamijou on the way.
Yoshino, a little surprised, went up and greeted Mr. Kamijou.
She might need his help in the future, and becoming friends with him now wouldn't be a disadvantage.
"Uh~ Hello, Classmate Shikino."
Kamijou Touma, who was still thinking about how to solve his problems that night, heard that familiar soft voice. He turned around and saw Yoshino greeting him.
However, when he saw Saten Ruiko behind her, a drop of cold sweat ran down his forehead. The previous incident felt as if it had happened yesterday. Now, seeing Saten Ruiko, he truly felt a bit traumatized.
The events of that day were truly unbearable to recall. Wasn't that a completely unprovoked disaster for him?
But he also knew he couldn't blame Yoshino, and since he was the good-natured Kamijou Touma, he could only let it go.
Moreover, he had enjoyed a few comfortable days thanks to the ingredients Yoshino had given him.
Mr. Kamijou came to a conclusion: Yoshino was a good person, and the incident had nothing to do with her.
Saten Ruiko, narrowing her eyes, watched Kamijou Touma, whose forehead was beaded with cold sweat. She still remembered this person who had blocked the cheering squad last time. In a sense, he could be called a good person.
After collecting information about him, she also found that this person had almost no outstanding qualities. The only thing that could be said to be extraordinary was how unlucky he was.
How unlucky did one have to be to have such luck? What kind of mindset did one need to still be alive and well until now? Honestly, Saten Ruiko really admired him.
"Is Mr. Kamijou going to the supermarket now? I remember the previous ingredients should still be enough for Mr. Kamijou for a few weeks, right?" She had given him so many things, why did he still need to buy ingredients now? Could his refrigerator at home be broken?
"Ah~ Speaking of last time, thank you very much, Classmate Shikino. Because of you, Mr. Kamijou, I had a few days of happy living. I made good use of all those ingredients to cook and enjoy. However, because friends came to visit, all those ingredients were plundered by them."
Thinking of Tsuchimikado Motoharu and the blue-haired earring guy sweeping away all the ingredients at home, he felt a wave of displeasure.
They never came to help when Mr. Kamijou was in trouble.
But now that Mr. Kamijou had a lot of ingredients, they came to steal his things. It was truly abominable.
"Hehehe~ It seems the unlucky Mr. Kamijou is also very unlucky in his social interactions. I wonder if they knew Mr. Kamijou had food to eat, which is why they came to visit him? It must be, it must be! After all, looking at Mr. Kamijou's usual demeanor, you can tell they haven't visited him much, but now they're visiting. That's a very obvious meaning."
Shiina, knowing the original story, immediately figured out it was Tsuchimikado Motoharu and the blue-haired earring guy.
One was a double agent, and the other was a nameless fellow.
However, what was known was that Tsuchimikado Motoharu was someone to watch out for.
"Ah~ Although their personalities are terrible, they are also my friends, Mr. Kamijou's friends, so I must treat them well." Kamijou Touma shook his head. For his unfortunate self, he wouldn't care too much about the few friends he had in Academy City. They had been friends for so many years; he could still accept this much.
"It seems the unlucky Mr. Kamijou is too much of a good person. You'll run into a lot of trouble like this in the future."
Although those incidents were all planned by Chairperson Aleister Crowley, these incidents all exploited Kamijou Touma's good-natured personality. His "harem-forming hand" wouldn't be allowed to touch Yoshino; who knows what might happen then.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Kamijou. Let me introduce you, this is my good friend, Saten Ruiko."
Yoshino, watching the excited person and the doll, interjected. Now was not the time to talk about this.
"...Hello, my name is Saten Ruiko." She first narrowed her eyes at Kamijou Touma, watching him break out in a cold sweat before beginning her self-introduction.
Although he had no relation to Yoshino, he was somewhat of an unstable factor, so Saten Ruiko didn't give him a good look.
"? ? ? ? Ruiko, this is Mr. Kamijou Touma. You met him at this supermarket before."
Yoshino found Saten Ruiko's attitude very strange. Ruiko should be polite to everyone, so why is she acting like this now?
"Yoshino, let's buy the ingredients first. We still have something to deal with tonight."
Shiina said not to bother with them. The problem of the carnivorous Suzuya Yuriko at home needs to be solved properly.
"Yes, there is also Sister Yuriko. Really, is there no way?"
Thinking of tonight, Yoshino felt as depressed as if it was raining heavily.
Why does everyone want to bully Yoshino? Under Yoshino's depressed mood, Mr. Kamijou was also buying the ingredients he wanted under Saten Ruiko's gaze, covered in cold sweat... No, it should be the ingredients he could afford. This time, there was no reason for Yoshino to treat him.
"Ruiko, you need to take it slowly now, okay? Yoshino thinks that if Yoshino doesn't help you today because of yesterday's robbery, something might happen to Ruiko."
I don't know how Saten Ruiko found that recording in the AIM Stalker incident later, but isn't it better to find it sooner rather than later?
"...Yoshino, you know a lot. You can even know what I'm thinking."
The feeling of powerlessness when she was about to be kicked yesterday has now become a thorn in Saten Ruiko's heart.
It's just that Yoshino quickly discovered it and pulled it out.
"Now, if Ruiko's brain is strengthened, not only will it be easier to use when she gains abilities in the future, but it will also be easier to study in class usually."
Looking at Saten Ruiko's subtle expression, Yoshino changed the topic to gaining abilities. Yoshino thought that this would make Saten Ruiko feel better.
"It seems that even Yoshino thinks I'm not good at studying. She directly mentioned studying."
This isn't concern for me, Yoshino.
Being able to gain abilities makes me very happy, but Yoshino, your ability to change the subject is terrible.
"Okay, Ruiko, I know what you want to say. I also know that Ruiko is stupid and likes to think randomly."
With her hands behind her back, Saten Ruiko turned around and looked at the setting sun with a bit of emotion.
She will soon have abilities, thanks to Yoshino.
"If possible, Ruiko wants Yoshino to supervise me and prevent me from thinking randomly, okay?" It felt like a confession, making Saten Ruiko a little shy.
However, the innocent Yoshino didn't notice so many things, so she nodded directly.
"Yes! Because Ruiko is a good friend of Shiina and me, I will keep a good eye on Ruiko."
So you are still too innocent, Yoshino. But it's good not to know so much. After all, the current situation is also beneficial. Shiina doesn't want Sister Nozomi to tear her apart when she comes later.
After saying goodbye to Ruiko, Yoshino returned to the doorstep with the ingredients. Now, Yoshino had the key in her hand at the door and didn't know whether to open the door properly.
What will happen tonight..
