Mikado Ryoko hadn't expected Shiro to ask her this particular question: why had she chosen to become a school doctor?
She thought for a few moments before slowly giving her answer.
"The salary is good, the working conditions are excellent, and there isn't much work."
Mikado Ryoko stated her truth with complete honesty.
At first, Shiro wanted to laugh and agree with her, but the moment he looked at the person sitting across from him, he immediately gave up on the idea. Agree with her? Why did he have the feeling she was trying to fool him?
Looking at her sincere expression, Shiro was left speechless. This was like trying to deceive a three-year-old child.
"Ryoko-sensei, you might be able to fool ordinary people or ordinary students with a story like that, but what's the point of trying to fool me? It's not like I don't know who you are. With your medical abilities, you could succeed at anything you set your mind to."
Shiro openly said that with the title of "the best doctor in the universe," it would be unbelievably easy to become wealthy simply by treating rich people.
Mikado Ryoko knew he didn't believe her. After all, her medical skills truly were exceptional, and she could live a far more luxurious life because of them. However, those kinds of things simply didn't interest her, and even if she ever needed money, she could obtain it whenever she wanted. She genuinely lacked for nothing. It was just difficult to explain that to someone who already knew her true identity.
"Shiro, you have to understand that many things can't be judged only by appearances, and you shouldn't jump to conclusions too quickly."
"For example, even though I have excellent medical skills and a certain reputation, that doesn't mean there has to be some hidden motive or plan behind my being an ordinary school doctor. It's simply what I want to do."
"Besides, I've never liked grand titles or things like that. Even the title I have now was given to me by other people."
"And personally, I prefer a peaceful life."
"That's why I think being a school doctor is perfectly good, especially since the conditions here are excellent. I just never expected to come across so many interesting things here. I can only say that everything turned out to be an incredible coincidence."
As she spoke, Mikado Ryoko let out a quiet sigh. She truly hadn't expected this place to be so lively or for everything to surpass her expectations.
Shiro also sighed helplessly when he heard that. After all, why had everything turned out this way? The main culprit was probably himself.
"On the other hand, there's something I want to ask Shiro. Who exactly are you? Your teacher is truly curious."
"At first, based on everything you showed, I thought I had understood many things."
"But in just a day or two, you completely changed my impression of you. Even your abilities and strength keep changing constantly. I simply can't see through you."
Mikado Ryoko looked at him with eyes full of interest, but there was also a faint trace of longing hidden within them.
Shiro immediately noticed that hint of longing, and remembering her identity, suddenly realized what it was about.
He thought to himself, "I'm after her body, and it turns out she's after mine too."
"Ryoko-sensei, I have to make something clear. I'm a performer, not a prostitute."
Shiro said it with an utterly serious expression.
Mikado Ryoko almost choked on the water she had just taken a sip of. After coughing a few times, she wiped her mouth and looked at him.
For a brief moment, a trace of surprise flashed through her eyes. Did he actually know, or was he just joking?
"I saw that longing in your eyes just now. Combined with the fact that you're a doctor, it's obvious that you're interested in the structure of my body or something similar. I can understand that."
"But I'm a performer, not a prostitute. Unless you offer an equal exchange."
Mikado Ryoko could no longer hold it in and burst into loud laughter, her whole body shaking as she laughed.
"Ahaha, I thought you'd rather die than agree to something like that, but I never expected an answer like this."
"I'm sorry, but I've never thought about buying someone else's body, so I refuse that condition."
Shiro spent almost the entire day bickering with her. After all, teasing Mikado Ryoko was much more entertaining than sitting around doing nothing.
At the same time, he knew that two more assassins had appeared and quietly infiltrated the area while hiding themselves perfectly. They possessed certain abilities, but he simply couldn't be bothered dealing with them.
So he stayed hidden here and let them search everywhere in vain.
Over the next few days, Shiro simply lazed around because he was feeling somewhat bored. Originally, he had planned to wait until the Chat Group assigned him a mission to go and have fun in the Super God world.
However, one day, while he was teasing the school doctor, someone tagged him in the group chat.
Shiro was a little surprised. Who was looking for him?
Big Bone Soup: "Destroyer of Heavens."
Big Bone Soup: "Mr. Shiro, are you there?"
Please Call Me Savior: "Daigo is looking for Shiro. It seems something serious has happened, otherwise he would have come to me first."
Kuro Usagi: "Yes, Kuro Usagi also thinks this isn't an ordinary matter. After all, whenever there's a question, it's usually enough to ask the group leader. Whatever Shiro knows, the leader probably knows as well."
World Diva: "Why do I have the feeling that Shiro has become some kind of forbidden weapon that isn't used unless it's an absolute emergency?"
Raiden Shogun: "No, no, it's not that he shouldn't be mentioned. It's that only for very serious matters do people bypass the group leader and go directly to him."
Accelerator: "The name alone says enough. If you're looking for the Destroyer of Heavens, then something has definitely happened that no one else can solve."
Ninja World Big Fat Sheep: "Excellent analysis. I like it."
Rimuru: "Daigo-san, what happened? Tell us, maybe we can help."
Please Call Me Savior: "Why don't you just ask Yukino?"
Yukino Meow: "There's no point asking me. He's hardly ever in the classroom anyway, especially these past few days. I have no idea where he disappears to every day."
Yukino looked toward the empty seat in the classroom. Honestly, even she was confused. At least before, he used to sleep in class, but now he simply wasn't anywhere to be found, and no one knew where he went. Even an alien princess had been looking for him the whole time. She just didn't know whether she had already found him.
Please Call Me President: "Hm, hm, hm, this guy rarely shows up at school. What's wrong with him? Doesn't he appreciate the opportunity he has?"
Destroyer of Heavens: "Hm… what exactly is there to appreciate about this everyday life? But you still can't skip classes, can you? After all, you still have to endure standing in the horse stance."
