Chapter 45 - Chapter 45: Kamijou Touma

"So, what should we eat tonight?"

On the way to the supermarket after school, Yoshino was thinking about what to eat for dinner.

Because of Mr. Kamijou's prolonged reflection of unfavorable rays and his long-term irregular eating habits, he didn't look like a girl at all. Now, his diet needed to be managed properly.

A spiky-haired young man was walking around the corner ahead, humming a song happily, seemingly in a very good mood. He was practically skipping, as if he had won millions in the lottery.

"For a balanced diet, not only do I need to buy meat, but I also need to buy some vegetables. I remember Mr. Kamijou's favorite meat seems to be spicy fried chicken. I wonder if there are any vegetables he doesn't like. Every vegetable is quite good, so why do so many people dislike eating vegetables?"

Don't ask them; in fact, they also want to know why they hate eating these vegetables.

If you had to say why, it's just hatred; there's no reason.

"You can't spoil him too much, Yoshino. It's not good to always make what he likes. It's better to arrange a schedule and follow it for daily cooking. That way, you won't have to worry every day about what to cook, right?"

Looking at Yoshino, who was deep in thought, Shiina offered a helpless suggestion.

In the previous world, you never thought about cooking this seriously. Why are you so attentive now?

"No, that won't do. With Mr. Kamijou's personality, if our relationship isn't very good, he definitely won't eat it. Things have only just started to change, so I can't let all my previous efforts go to waste because of this. I need to prepare carefully."

She rejected Shiina's suggestion without even thinking. This was no laughing matter; she had to think carefully.

"My luck is good today. I actually managed to snatch the special discounted eggs today, Mr. Kamijou. This month's nutritional goal is already met. It seems this month is Mr. Kamijou's lucky month."

The so-called Mr. Kamijou looked at the eggs in the bag, a satisfied smile on his face.

Compared to his usual misfortunes—his card getting eaten every time he went to the bank, buying expired food, and frequently breaking his phone and bank card—being able to get these discounted eggs now was truly too lucky.

(Fuhai: What should I do? I'm starting to feel sorry for him. What kind of life is this?)

"I'll just try making it first and see how Mr. Kamijou feels. If he likes it, I'll make it again next time. If not, I just won't make it."

She could only use this clumsy method. If she asked him directly, she would definitely be pushed aside. It was really troublesome.

"That's why I keep saying you spoil him too much; it's really not good."

Shiina didn't know how many times it had said that, but Yoshino never listened to it. (Crying)

"Then... Oh!"

Yoshino, who was hit by something while turning a corner, fell backwards onto the ground, her little bottom aching.

"Yoshino, are you okay?" Because they couldn't use their spiritual power, neither of them noticed that someone would appear at the corner. Shiina looked nervously at Yoshino, who had fallen to the ground, and asked anxiously.

"N-no, I'm fine, it just hurt a bit from the fall."

Patting the dust off her clothes and skirt, Yoshino felt a stinging pain coming from her buttocks.

"Hey! I'm talking to you!"

Seeing that the person who bumped into Yoshino still hadn't apologized, Shiina turned around, a little annoyed, intending to unleash her sharp tongue on the rude person... "Ah ah ah!!!!"

A sound that made listeners grieve and onlookers shed tears pierced their eardrums. Covering their ears, they waited for a moment before curiously looking at the high school student in an orz pose.

It felt as if his mother had just died; what could have happened to make him so sad?

"Ah ah!!! My nutrition for this month is gone, all gone. What misfortune!!!!"

With trembling hands, he picked up one of the relatively intact eggs and looked at it. The result was that the perfectly good egg suddenly broke in the middle, and the yolk flowed out.

Seeing this, Mr. Kamijou couldn't help but sigh dramatically, his miserable appearance making Yoshino and Shiina's faces darken with black lines.

"Um, are you okay?"

Yoshino, who already knew who it was, hesitated for a moment before going up to greet him.

Although Mr. Kamijou was known as the 'Harem King,' Yoshino stated that she didn't feel anything for Mr. Kamijou.

The kind-hearted Yoshino chose to go up and show some concern.

"Ah? Uh, I'm sorry. Mr. Kamijou accidentally bumped into you just now. Mr. Kamijou didn't see you because he was too excited." Mr. Kamijou quickly apologized upon seeing that he had bumped into such a cute girl.

However, the kind-hearted Mr. Kamijou would apologize no matter what.

And Mr. Kamijou was also a loli con. (Mr. Kamijou: No, I'm not!)

"Um, I accidentally bumped into you, and your eggs all fell. I was just about to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients for dinner; I'll compensate you."

How much does a carton of eggs cost? Anyway, with the money Accelerator gave her, she wasn't worried about that small expense.

"Um, that's not necessary, right? It's just eggs, after all."

Although the decision was very tempting, she couldn't just take advantage of him like that.

"No, you just said it's just eggs, right? Then it's fine for Yoshino to compensate you."

"...Then I'll respectfully accept. My name is Kamijou Touma, please take care of me."

Looking at Yoshino's pure eyes, Mr. Kamijou, unable to refuse, could only agree.

"Kami-jō Tōma? That's quite a unique name." It felt so mighty.

"No, no, it's Kamijou Touma, not Kami-jō Tōma. Mr. Kamijou would get a headache if he were misunderstood."

Although it sounded cool, it wasn't a good comparison, was it?

"I see, then should I call you 'Unlucky Mr. Kamijou'?"

Seeing the somewhat embarrassed Kamijou Touma, Shiina also came over to join in the fun.

"So I'm asking you not to call me that." Why would such a kind child's puppet say something so rude?

And just as the group was about to head to the supermarket, a bespectacled man peeked out from another corner.

Watching them leave, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number. It connected shortly after.

"I saw Yoshino walking with a high school student. Emergency, emergency. I'm following them now, please send support quickly." After saying that, he hung up and followed the two ahead.

Unbeknownst to Mr. Kamijou, disaster was about to strike him.
