When it all began, Alex had actually targeted Natsuha Shinomiya.
At that time, he was desperately short on power and resources. While hunting for prey, he considered approaching the man-chaser... But first, while the beautiful girl was indeed a man-chaser, she hid it extremely well and wasn't the type of woman anyone could easily manipulate.
At least, before she was fully awakened or corrupted, Natsuha Shinomiya wasn't that woman.
Besides, Alex wasn't interested in that type of woman anyway; otherwise, why wouldn't he just go straight to the compensated dating girls?
Secondly, this woman was physically very strong. At the time, he was just an ordinary high school student with no power whatsoever. Facing Natsuha Shinomiya, who was proficient in Aikido, he wouldn't have gained any advantage by forcing anything.
So he gave up and chose Chisa instead.
He never expected that after all this time, he would get tangled up with Natsuha Shinomiya again. And by the look of it... she was actually coveting his masculine appeal. It was obvious—Natsuha Shinomiya had clearly returned to normal.
Yet she still did those things to me... It was undoubtedly a manifestation of lusting after his body.
To top it off, she took advantage of him and ran off. Alex admitted that among all the women he had encountered, Natsuha Shinomiya was the first to make him feel slighted.
Woman, you have successfully piqued my interest...
Alright, it wasn't that dramatic. Alex was just a little speechless, and he quickly turned to soothe Yukie Serizawa next to him, as Yukie had watched the entire thing unfold.
"I'm not angry, really. I'm just a little bummed that lunch break is almost over," the girl said quietly. "It felt like we wasted it."
"Don't worry, I'll make it up to you properly tonight when we get home," Alex cupped her face and squeezed it gently. Her smooth, delicate skin made him reluctant to let go. "We'll have plenty of time then. I promise Yukie will be satisfied~"
"You said it," Yukie finally smiled, giving her beloved boy a light kiss on the corner of his mouth. She snuggled into his arms. "Did Natsuha Shinomiya just... fall for you?"
"Huh?"
"Why else would she do that to you, even after she returned to normal?"
The behavior was too strange.
"She hasn't fallen for me. She's simply craving my body!"
Yukie Serizawa: (¯_(ツ)_/¯)
Alex was right. Natsuha Shinomiya was indeed craving his body, especially after she had touched that part of him with her hands...
"Alex's cock was huge," Natsuha Shinomiya walked through the hallway in a panic, her mind far less calm than her appearance suggested. She looked at her palms, remembering the huge, hot thing she had just held in her hands—it had pulsed in her grip.
It completely unsettled the girl's heart.
Not only was Alex physically strong, but his other part was frighteningly large... This just makes me more conflicted, she thought. Now sober, Natsuha Shinomiya's mind was filled with the conflicting images of Alex and her childhood friend.
The whole concept of hypnosis or guidance was completely forgotten.
Natsuha Shinomiya felt guilty toward Eita, especially after regaining her sanity. But... Alex's body made her unable to resist. Otherwise, she wouldn't have impulsively tried to aggressively turn the tables on him in that room.
It all stemmed from Alex's sheer temptation.
"Natsuha!"
A man with striking blonde hair approached her. He was wearing his newly changed sportswear for the upcoming outdoor P.E. class, and his exposed arms and legs showed off quite a bit of muscle.
His face wasn't exactly handsome, but he wore a highly confident smirk—four parts confidence, four parts smugness, and two parts strange anticipation. Katsu Ooshika swaggered up to Natsuha Shinomiya.
"Can I help you?"
Natsuha Shinomiya asked coldly, looking at the male student who had stopped her. She was always like this in front of outsiders. Despite her inner man-chaser tendencies, she hid them perfectly.
Perhaps no one would ever imagine that such a pure, icy beauty was a man-chaser.
However, this blonde man was the exception.
"Natsuha, don't bother putting on an act in front of me. Other people might be fooled, but I can see your true nature deep down," Katsu grinned, a peculiar smile spreading across his face.
"Why won't you admit it? Is playing house with your childhood friend really that interesting?" As he spoke, he greedily scanned Natsuha Shinomiya's alluring figure, treating her like a delicious feast waiting to be devoured.
Katsu desperately wanted to be the one to devour her, but he didn't dare. He had learned the hard way that even with his well-built physique, he was no match for this woman.
The more unattainable she was, the more he wanted her.
"Natsuha, in this school, only I can satisfy your needs. Only I am worthy of being your man. No one else is, let alone that useless childhood friend of yours."
"Heh, that's certainly a narcissistic statement," Natsuha gazed at him calmly. This blonde man had been harassing her for a long time. He had tried to put his hands on her before, but had behaved much better after she taught him a lesson.
But he still hadn't given up.
What an annoying guy.
Although annoying, he was also quite terrifying, because this man could see through her inner self, perhaps understanding her even better than she understood herself...
If I let this continue, maybe I won't be able to escape him?
But...
The face that appeared in Natsuha Shinomiya's mind wasn't her childhood friend, Eita Yamano, but Alex's. The beautiful, purple-haired girl found herself feeling calm, even relaxed and at ease.
"Narcissists always like to flatter themselves. I don't know many people at school, but even in our own class, Alex is far superior to you."
"Huh?"
Katsu's smile froze, and he frowned. "Alex?"
It took him nearly half a minute to remember who Natsuha Shinomiya's "Alex" was. Katsu narrowed his eyes. "Alex, Alex? You mean that guy who has virtually no presence in class? Hah."
"I don't know about presence, but he certainly has a lot of girls around him," Before Katsu could scoff, Natsuha Shinomiya crossed her arms calmly and looked up. "Both Chisa and Makoto are just the tip of the iceberg, not to mention the girls from other classes..."
Thinking of the black-haired girl who had been hostile toward her moments ago, Natsuha Shinomiya curved her lips upward. "Can a popular man like Alex even be compared to you?"
Katsu frowned. "I have been hearing rumors about that guy recently... but so what if he's a player? What does that prove?"
"While it may be a superficial judgment, the quality of the women around him highlights his uniqueness. However, I can understand those girls. Alex is truly different. He is strong enough to satisfy so many women, so it's no wonder they all cling to him..."
Katsu finally stopped smiling. His blonde face was filled with frustration and rage. He stared intensely at Natsuha Shinomiya licking her lips and clenched his fists. "Natsuha! What the hell are you talking about?!"
"Don't tell me you've got a thing for that guy—?"
