Chapter 58 Nickname
“See you tomorrow, Shinichi-kun~”
Kazumi waved goodbye to Sato Shinichi as she said goodbye to the boy in the distance with a faint smile on her face, only to receive a foolishly doting smile from the boy.
She turned her head and walked upstairs. The moment Kazumi turned her head, the smile on her face instantly vanished, leaving only a chilling expression that was cold to the bone.
…
In the room, lying on the bed, she hugged her head with a bit of frustration, looking powerlessly at the chandelier on the ceiling.
Today’s events were completely unexpected for Kazumi. The police investigation, the encounter with Hishiyama Minako on the road and the conflict, it could be said that Kazumi had a rather frightening day.
Fortunately, most of the issues had been resolved. Kazumi was most worried about the police interrogation because in front of the powerful police force, she was completely defenseless and could only accept her fate and answer questions as they came.
But what she didn’t expect was that the lie detector didn’t detect her lies. Kazumi still couldn’t figure out what was wrong with this, and could only vaguely guess that it was related to Fukada Akihiko’s contingency plan.
The subsequent encounter was basically an unprovoked disaster. She wanted to chat with Sato Shinichi, who had just come out, to probe the association’s attitude, as the level of scrutiny that could use a lie detector was definitely not as simple as ordinary investigations.
As a result, she didn’t get the information she wanted, but instead stirred up new trouble.
In fact, speaking of which, Kazumi didn’t intentionally do that to Hishiyama Minako’s attempt to extort her.
When Hishiyama Minako spoke with that commanding tone, Kazumi’s words involuntarily sprang from the bottom of her heart.
In her past life, Kazumi detested that kind of condescending look. The scene of being ridiculed for her academic qualifications by unkind relatives was always etched in her heart. However, as someone not good with words, she could only work hard in silence and achieve something to prove herself.
And Kazumi’s true self also became angry the moment her parents were insulted. Her thoughts also couldn’t help but want to be expressed.
Fortunately, although the original owner’s personality made her not like to talk too much, Kazumi’s reality as a scholar still gave her strong expression skills. With this enhancement, Kazumi had also completed her goal of “talking back” that she had never thought of in her previous life.
Of course, Kazumi was not a child who acted impulsively. After the initial surge of passion, Kazumi immediately found the best way to deal with it. She continued to say very provocative things, hoping to provoke the other party to act first, and thus obtain the resources she had always lacked through compensation.
But unfortunately, Teacher Ishitang’s timely arrival stopped this farce.
However, this was within Kazumi’s scope of calculation. As for refusing the apology later, her subsequent low mood, and her thoughts on the entire hero society’s class structure? That was all an act for Sato Shinichi!
As an adult with her own independent consciousness, who had experienced the harsh realities of society, how could Kazumi have such chuunibyou thoughts like “It’s not me who is wrong, it’s the world!” because of such a thing?
All of this was just to establish a persona of being bullied in front of Sato Shinichi. Compared to a young girl being bullied simply because of her background, such a reflection on social class was more likely to hit the bullseye of a chuunibyou boy of this age. Although Sato Shinichi did not appear very chuunibyou, it was difficult for children of this age to avoid these things.
There must be someone behind Hishiyama Minako instigating all of this, because everything was too coincidental. Although there was protection from school rules and teachers at school, it was as easy as eating and drinking water for someone with a powerful background to trouble you. At this time, the only one who could protect her was probably Sato Shinichi and the powerful background behind him.
Kazumi had also investigated the information about [Warhammer]. Basically, old heroes who could live to retirement would definitely have connections, and he was also part of Hamano Tsukasa’s faction, so it should be no problem for him to protect her.
The only thing she was worried about was how much impact this degree of news shock would have on this naive boy who shouted “Justice will triumph!” every day. If his will was not firm enough, he might develop a knot in his heart.
Of course, all of this was Kazumi’s unnecessary worry. She recalled the boy’s final response, which was like a vow, and her originally cold cheeks inexplicably became hot again.
“What are you thinking about!! Business, business!!”
She slapped her cheeks hard, stopping the strange reaction caused by her body. Speaking of which, she was almost used to this body. The appearance might not show it, but as long as Sato Shinichi was mentioned, her heart would automatically beat a few beats faster.
“It seems I need to put the suppression of female hormones on the agenda…”
She rubbed her forehead with a headache. The body’s natural reactions had too much of an impact on her. This was really not conducive to her future plans, but Sato Shinichi was really someone she was finding it difficult to leave now.
She picked up the notebook by the bed and put a checkmark behind “Change persona” on it. Kazumi put down the notebook with satisfaction.
With so many things happening, it could be considered that she had completed a minimal goal. Now, she had also completed a transformation in front of Sato Shinichi from a withdrawn girl to someone who was slowly becoming a little more cheerful under the “guidance” of her boyfriend.
After all, constantly suppressing her personality and actions was a bit draining. The design over the past few days could at least make sense, so she wouldn’t have to pretend anymore. Her acting skills were not very deep, and if she overdid it and was seen through, it would be counterproductive.
Thinking about these things, Kazumi’s mood improved slightly. She skillfully opened her capability panel and looked helplessly at the numbers that remained unchanged except for the territory area.
Kazumi sighed helplessly. The territory size still hadn’t reached 2. If she really had to wait until the inside was developed enough to establish a graveyard hill, she would probably have children by then!
She picked up her phone irritably, wanting to check the information she wanted. The moment Kazumi picked up her phone, the phone shook itself, and a chat message appeared at the top of the screen.
However, the sender’s name displayed on the phone made Kazumi freeze on the spot, staring blankly at the phone in her hand.
Shinichi-kun❤️:
[What are you doing? /Curious /Curious]
