After watching Utsunomiya Miu enter the classroom in the relatively empty corridor, Kiritani Tetsuya skillfully removed the straw attached to the apple juice and returned to his classroom while drinking, planning to go back and get his phone first.

Go to the cafeteria to eat again.

As a result, when he stepped into the classroom, he didn't expect that Ibuki Tamao had already taken out his lunch box and was waiting for him on his seat.

"Kiritani-san, you worked hard on the exam this morning. I made rice balls for two people this morning. Let's eat them together."

Seeing Kiritani Tetsuya's figure reappear in the classroom, Ibuki Tamao blinked slightly, spoke in a normal tone, and at the same time opened the lunch box in front of him.

As the lid of the lunch box was opened by the girl, Tetsuya Kiritani could see that there were ten exquisitely shaped seaweed rice balls inside the bento box with a small pattern, neatly arranged in a nearly square space inside the box.

Each rice ball is half-wrapped with a large piece of thin seaweed sheet. The exposed part is also covered with a thin layer of caviar. It looks quite good at first glance.

"Thank you, Ibuki-san, but I don't need to bother you to make lunch for me next time. It must be tiring to make two bento boxes every day."

Hearing Ibuki Tamao's voice, Kiritani Tetsuya walked back to his seat. At the girl's greeting, he awkwardly picked up one of the large rice balls and tasted it.

When you take a bite, you can find that common ingredients such as meat floss and ham are added to the rice ball. The taste is still as delicious as the bento made by Ibuki Tamao several times before.

"Because I have recently developed the habit of making lunch for myself. It doesn't take much time to make an extra lunch, as long as Kiritani-san can eat it happily."

Ibuki Tamao said nonchalantly, and as he spoke, he stretched out his little hand to pick up a rice ball from the lunch box and started eating it.

"And I made this with my hands early in the morning. Kiritani-san must eat it carefully."

"Oh, really."

Kiritani Tetsuya chimed in and responded, but there wasn't much emotion in his heart.

It may be that he has gradually become accustomed to the girl's occasionally unusual speaking style and behavior. Even if Ibuki Tamao now says that she made these rice balls with her feet, Kiritani Tetsuya estimates that he will not have too much emotional fluctuations because of this.

Sitting directly opposite Kiritani Tetsuya, seeing that his supplementary explanation did not arouse the slightest interest in the other party, Ibuki Tamao blinked his eyes in confusion, and after finishing the first rice ball in his hand, he took the initiative to ask questions.

road.

"Are you Kiritani-san still worried about Utsunomiya-san these days?"

"It can be said that it is, but not entirely."

Kiritani Tetsuya quickly replied, still thinking about the deeper meaning of what Utsunomiya Miu said to him ten minutes ago, or what he wanted to express to him.

Judging from the girl's previous reaction, it seemed that she was not satisfied with the answer she gave for the first time.

But Kiritani Tetsuya doesn't plan to tell Ibuki Tamao about this matter yet, and plans to think about it on his own first. It would be a bit unreasonable to rely on the girl in front of him for everything.

"It's okay. If you have any questions, Kiritani-san, you can tell me. As long as I know anything, I will tell Kiritani-san."

Seeing Kiritani Tetsuya's face still lost in thought, Ibuki Tamao said softly, and after finishing speaking, he deliberately selected a smaller rice ball and put it to his mouth.

"But I haven't really had any problems lately, but if it were before, I did have a question I wanted to ask Ibuki-san."

Kiritani Tetsuya was just about to refuse, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered the question that had been bothering him since a few weeks ago, and he immediately gave up the idea of ​​refusing.

"What do you want to ask Kiritani-san?"

Under the influence of Kiritani Tetsuya's words, Ibuki Tamao's face became a little curious and she spoke.

"Ibuki-kun, actually I've wanted to ask you this question from the very beginning. I want to know if the so-called special abilities of yours can also work on the gods' bodies?"

After organizing what he wanted to ask in his mind, Kiritani Tetsuya immediately spoke.

"For example, can Ibuki-san use his special abilities to divert Utsunomiya-san's attention at will, or can Utsunomiya-san use his own abilities to lightly brainwash Ibuki-san?"

Kiritani Tetsuya tried his best to express the confusion in his heart clearly.

If Ibuki Tamao hadn't reminded him at this moment, he would have really forgotten that he had always wanted to ask the other party such a question.

However, because of various things that happened in the past, Kiritani Tetsuya gradually forgot about this question, and it was not until today that he accidentally thought of it.

"So this is what Kiritani-san wants to know. Regarding this matter, in fact, the special abilities of gods also work on gods."

Seeing Kiritani Tetsuya's expression eager to know the answer, Ibuki Tamao answered lightly.

"But when we first started living here, we made a verbal agreement that we would not take the initiative to use special abilities on each other. At least in the few years since I came here, I have never used my special abilities on Utsunomiya-san or Aiji-san.

special abilities."

"That means your abilities are still effective against gods, right? If that's the case, I have a bold guess. I wonder if Ibuki-san would like to hear it?"

After listening to Ibuki Tamao's answer, Kiritani Tetsu couldn't help but lower his head in thought, and his own brain cells began to become active again.

"Kiritani-san, you might as well say whatever you want to say?"

"Is there a possibility that Utsunomiya-san actually fell in love with me from the very beginning, but due to his status as a god or fear of being scolded by Hoshino Aihime and other gods, he did not dare to approach me, so he

He secretly brainwashed Ibuki-san, and wanted to use Ibuki-san’s help to achieve the purpose of being with me.”

Kiritani Tetsuya spoke out exactly what he had just suspected in his heart.

"Kiritani-san wants to express that all the thoughts I have about Kiritani-san now are actually caused by Utsunomiya-san's brainwashing of me. In fact, Utsunomiya-san has always known that I was secretly helping you, but he just deliberately didn't say it.

Come out, wait until Sister Aiji or Sister Rin find out, then dump the responsibility on me, and just pretend that you don't know anything."

Ibuki Tamao listened carefully to Kiritani Tetsuya's speculations in his heart, and soon added his own understanding.

"Ibuki-san, actually I only thought of the first half of your sentence, and the second part was completely made up by your own imagination."

Kiritani Tetsuya saw that this godly girl was even more exaggerated than him, and couldn't help but defend himself. The next second, he received negative words from Ibuki Tamao.

"I know that it is common sense for Kiritani-san to speculate like this, but regarding this matter, I can safely tell Kiritani-san that all the emotions and thoughts I have in my heart are completely sincere and are not caused by any influence.

It came about because of Utsunomiya-san’s brainwashing.”
