"Itsuka Shido's life feels very different from the original story. In the original, he had to deal with various Spirits every day, running all over the place. This time, he's running around to escape the pursuit of the FFF group. He really seems pitiful." On a holiday, Yoshino went shopping alone on the street. Thinking of Itsuka Shido's miserable life these past few days, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"It's because he was too arrogant in the original story, always showing off his affection at school. Even during these past few days when he's been targeted, Yatogami Tohka and Tobiichi Origami are still fighting over him. Don't you think he's just asking for trouble, Yoshino? Such a person isn't worth your pity." Under Toujou Nozomi's deliberate arrangements, Itsuka Shido has now subtly become a key focus of attention for all the male students in the school. However, he really didn't want this attention, after all, he couldn't handle the resentment of single guys.
"And if you think about it positively, Itsuka Shido is chased by the FFF group every day now. He's running around constantly, which can improve his physical fitness. In a way, this is helping him. There might still be danger now, but after he gets married, he can proudly tell his children how many people chased him during his school days, but he could easily escape them." Imagine an elderly Itsuka Shido sitting in a rocking chair, telling his cute grandchildren about his youthful memories. We can be considered to be helping him create unforgettable memories! This is capital for showing off later!
"No, I don't think there's anything to show off about that. Rather, it's his dark history, which Itsuka Shido would probably seal away permanently." Yoshino said, breaking into a cold sweat. She didn't think this was something worth showing off. It was like her chuunibyou phase in middle school; after that period, she would throw away her dark history notebooks and clothes. Or if she really couldn't bear to, she would hide them well in a secret place in her room, but she felt that they would still be found eventually and used as dangerous leverage.
"Also, let's talk about something else now. Honjou Nia seems to have been a bit excessive lately, Yoshino. Why do I always get taken off your hand when you're alone with her recently? Don't think I don't know what you two are doing. Isn't that what that guy Toujou Nozomi often does? Didn't that guy say she was only interested in 2D? Why is she always bothering you now?" Talking about this made Shiina angry. Ever since that night, Honjou Nia had always called Yoshino to her room, saying she needed help cleaning. After entering the room, Yoshino did help her clean, but her consciousness would suddenly disappear, and by the time she woke up again, a long time had passed.
"Uh, uh, nothing happened. Yoshino, you're thinking too much, Sister Niya didn't do anything to me. Really, nothing at all..." Yoshino explained with a slight blush, but her voice grew softer and softer, eventually becoming so faint that Shiina almost couldn't hear it. One could feel how guilty Yoshino was when she said this. You know, this child isn't someone who lies; lying would be immediately obvious.
"You can't go on like this, Yoshino! You know, if you keep this up, Honjou Nia will bully you to death! She's not like Toujou Nozomi; she's a forty-five-year-old otaku! She has over ten years of experience in ACG, she's a seasoned veteran! Her methods for dealing with you are much more numerous than those of Toujou Nozomi and Minami Kotori combined. You might not even know when you've fallen into her trap!"
"Achoo! Seriously, who's talking bad about me? Could it be my readers? Well, it's true, I've been on hiatus for a few years, so it's understandable they'd have complaints." Honjou Nia sneezed loudly, rubbed her nose, and said helplessly. "Hehe~ Yesterday's Yoshino was really cute, truly delicious, my lovely little sister. But Toujou Nozomi seems to have noticed what I do every time I call Yoshino into my room, so I guess I should calm down for a bit recently."
Thinking of Yoshino, who was like a small animal last night, Honjou Nia showed a gentle gaze. This child is truly captivating; she feels a bit addicted to her. And every time, she considers that Toujou Nozomi might deal with her, so she doesn't tell Toujou Nozomi what happens every time Yoshino comes to her room. Otherwise, how could she have achieved this much?
"So, next time if Honjou Nia calls you to clean her room again, just call Minami Kotori to go with you. That guy will definitely not do anything out of line when others are around. That way, you'll be much safer." Knowing that Yoshino isn't very good at refusing requests from others, she could only settle for a compromise and have someone else go with her.
"Eh! So there's this trick! I didn't even think of it." Yoshino stared at Shiina with wide eyes, not having thought of this method herself.
"Yoshino, how come you didn't even think of this method now? Has my cute and clever Yoshino of the past already become a moe object? You've been corrupted by those guys." It was mainly Sister Nozomi, who took advantage of Yoshino crazily every time under the guise of replenishing Yoshino elements. Minami Kotori and Hoshizora Rin also learned from her to replenish some Yoshino elements. Yoshino now spends a large part of her time at school being hugged by the three of them. Now she's a little confused.
"At first, I didn't think that Sister Niya called me to the room to clean for other purposes. I was so flustered by her. I was so dazed that I didn't think of a way to solve this matter."
"So, you're admitting that Honjou Nia has a purpose every time she calls you to her room, right?"
"Yes... Ah! Shiina, you're trying to trick me!" After unconsciously answering Shiina's question, she realized that she had just been tricked by Shiina. But it was too late. Shiina had already heard what she said just now.
"Hmph! Only this way can I get Yoshino to honestly tell me the truth. As expected, dead otaku are no match. That's right, that guy is already forty-five years old, so it's understandable that he's a little horny. If Yoshino doesn't want to tell Toujou Nozomi and the others about this, I'll help you tell them." This guy, has she become so thirsty after only trying it once? As expected, otaku are disgusting.
"No, you can't make things difficult... Ugh!" Yoshino, who wasn't paying attention to the front, suddenly bumped into something soft, and stopped talking.
"Oh dear, it's not good if you don't look at the road when you're walking. Now something has happened." A slow voice came, and it sounded like a girl's voice. It's just that her voice feels like it has some kind of power added to it, could it be spiritual power?
"I, I'm sorry. Yoshino didn't pay attention to the road. I accidentally bumped into Big Sister." After jumping away in a panic, Yoshino looked up and was stunned when she saw the other person's face. If there's no problem with her memory, then the girl with the big breasts in front of her is... Itsuka Miku!!!
