Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki

“To launch an attack on me right away, especially when I can't even be sure if you've manipulated my memories.”

She knew.

The most powerful aspect of 'Mental Out' is that it can ensure that those whose memories and thoughts she manipulates don't feel even the slightest sense of incongruity.

Everything will seem like a genuine experience for the manipulated person.

“I think you can rest assured about that.”

“You were sent here by that person to work for me. No matter what, I wouldn't tamper with your memories, would I?”

Haramura Seiichi said, taking out his phone and pointing the screen towards Kihara Yuiitsu.

Kihara Yuiitsu glanced at Misaki Shokuhou.

After confirming that the content on Haramura Seiichi's phone was indeed the same as on her phone, she hesitantly returned to the sofa and sat down slowly.

“So, you're my superior?”

“That's right.”

“From now on, you'll be under the jurisdiction of Artificial Workshop, but you don't need to do anything else usually. You should go to school and live your life.”

“But when I receive a mission, you'll have to carry it out.”

In fact, she already believed it to be true by seventy or eighty percent.

After all, she was Haramura Seiichi's guide yesterday, confirming that Haramura Seiichi knew that person.

In that case, it would be reasonable to say that Haramura Seiichi is her new superior.

“I understand.”

“How will my salary and benefits be calculated?”

She could disregard the attack just now, but if she wanted to pursue it, this place contained people she simply couldn't afford to offend.

However, she was more concerned about the salary issue and needed to know.

“The mission rewards will be divided among yourselves; I won't participate. Additionally, if you're willing to participate in the operation of Artificial Workshop during normal times, I have additional bonuses here.”

Misaki Shokuhou directly interjected.

Even though she didn't know what Haramura Seiichi was doing, she was responsible for the salary issues.

“That's not bad. I hope we can cooperate well in the future.”

Seeing the numbers that Misaki Shokuhou gestured with her fingers, Kihara Yuiitsu nodded without hesitation.

“Well, now that that's clear, I also have something I need to understand from you.”

“I hope you can tell me.”

“Why do I see a pause in time when you perform spatial movement?”

“Also, I see that you don't seem very comfortable when you move.”

It would be a while before Mugino Shizuri returned.

He didn't mind chatting with Kihara Yuiitsu during this time, after all, he was a little interested in the problems on this woman yesterday.

You know, yesterday he traveled all the way from the 'Scorpio' headquarters in the Eighth District to the building where Aleister resided, thanks to Kihara Yuiitsu's spatial movement.

During this period, Kihara Yuiitsu moved about twelve or thirteen times.

The distance of each movement was about seven hundred meters, but each time she moved, Kihara Yuiitsu had to pause for two or three seconds.

This is not how a normal space ability user should behave.

Or rather, this is not how a Level 4 should behave.

He had never seen a Level 4 ability user experience calculation obstacles when activating their ability.

“There's nothing to hide about that.”

Seemingly assured that she was no longer in danger, Kihara Yuiitsu's state became more natural.

She crossed her arms over her chest and crossed her legs.

“If you go to my school to inquire, you'll also know that during an ability test two years ago, I suffered serious injuries when my ability control failed, causing one of my feet to get stuck in the wall.”

“Since then, I've felt a strong sense of tension and fear whenever I move my body.”

“If I move more than four times in a row, I'll lose control of my ability due to tension, causing the ability to fail.”

“That's why, when moving my body, I always double-check the calculations to avoid miscalculations, so there's a two- or three-second delay when my ability is activated.”

“I see.”

Misaki Shokuhou looked enlightened.

In that case, she could understand why Kihara Yuiitsu didn't run away just now.

It wasn't that she didn't want to run away, it was that she didn't dare to run away at all.

“It's an acute stress reaction.”

Haramura Seiichi stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

“Let me ask, how many people know about your problem?”

“Well, I'm not too sure about that.”

“But the researchers who tested me at the time and the teachers and students in my grade should know.”

Kihara Yuiitsu said nonchalantly.

“After all, they all felt sorry for me. If it weren't for this problem, my ability could have been rated as a Level 5.”

For any research institute or school, it's a great achievement to cultivate a Level 5.

So Kihara Yuiitsu's situation was really a pity for Kirigaoka Girls' Academy.

The so-called acute stress reaction, or post-traumatic stress disorder, refers to mental disorders that occur after a patient suffers severe psychological trauma. Patients may exhibit symptoms such as elevated mood, excessive affection, and increased activity. Some patients may also experience self-blame, self-accusation, and self-denial.

Thinking of this, Haramura Seiichi's eyes flickered slightly.

“Have you ever thought about curing this problem?”

“Frankly speaking, your ability is good, but this problem of yours is likely to become a fatal weakness in the eyes of those who are malicious.”

“Like me, even without using my ability, I can think of at least three ways to kill you.”

“And your job from now on is to face this kind of thing every day.”

“Your situation is very dangerous.”

“If it can be cured, then of course it would be good.”

Kihara Yuiitsu replied as a matter of course.

Of course, she also wanted to be able to use her ability without any obstacles. Fearing her own ability every day is not a good thing for any ability user.

But when she glanced at Misaki Shokuhou, she shivered all over and made an 'X' with her hands in front of her chest.

“You wouldn't be thinking of using memory deletion as a solution, would you?”

“If it's that kind of method, I'll have to decline. I don't need it.”

She really wanted her illness to be cured, but messing with her brain was still out of the question.

“You're overthinking it. How could I use that kind of method?”

Haramura Seiichi glared at Kihara Yuiitsu with annoyance.

If he wanted to modify memories, he would have to understand the memories first. If he asked Misaki Shokuhou to do it, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

“Don't worry, it's another method.”

“And this method is very effective for acute stress reactions.”

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Haramura Seiichi's mouth.

But for some reason, Kihara Yuiitsu felt a chill as if she had fallen into an ice cave from this smile.

“Is, is that so.”

“If that's the case, I'll give it a try.”

Kihara Yuiitsu twitched her lips.

“What's going on with Mugino? Why did she call us back so urgently? Originally, due to the reduction in the amount of tasks, the commission we can get each month is already very small.”

Just then, a slightly childish female voice suddenly rang out outside the door.

“Yeah, Mugino, we've already been waiting for over two hours.”

“Giving up halfway like this makes me feel very uncomfortable.”

This was also a female voice, but she spoke with a rather strange verbal tic.

“Stop complaining so much, you just need to obey the master's orders.”

Kihara Yuiitsu's eyes widened instantly.

Not to mention the first two, she was very familiar with the last voice.

Because she had just heard this voice.

“Well, they're back at just the right time.”

“Kihara, you can take this opportunity to get to know your future teammates.”

The door slowly slid open to both sides.

Looking at the people standing behind the door, especially Mugino Shizuri, who was leading the way in a maid outfit.

For a moment, Kihara Yuiitsu didn't know what to say, she just felt that her future work life was a complete darkness.

“Please spare me.”

Chapter 163: Level 5 Ranking

“It's you?”

A girl with fluffy golden hair and azure eyes, a petite and graceful figure, wearing a cute British-style beret, and black stockings looked at Haramura Seiichi and exclaimed directly.

“Why, is it strange that I'm here?”

Haramura Seiichi looked at the girl who looked quite young with a smile that was not a smile.

“Frenda.”

“Ah, no, no, no.”

“How could I have that meaning? It's perfectly normal for you to be here.”

Frenda immediately put on a flattering smile, and the speed of her changing face can be called a master of face-changing in Peking opera.

She rushed to Haramura Seiichi like a gust of wind.

She put her hands together and rubbed them non-stop.

If you want to talk about who Frenda is most afraid of?

It belongs to Misaki Shokuhou, but Misaki Shokuhou has made subtle modifications to her thinking, and what she fears most is Haramura Seiichi who defeated her and brought her here.

Originally, she hadn't seen Haramura Seiichi for nearly half a year, and she was about to forget about Haramura Seiichi.

As a result, Haramura Seiichi's sudden appearance reminded her of the fear of being dominated half a year ago.

“Hello, Mr. Haramura.”

A girl with shoulder-length brown bob hair and her hands in her pockets gave Haramura Seiichi a cool greeting.

“Hello, Kinuhata.”

“Also, nice to meet you, Takitsubo Rikou.”

Haramura Seiichi's gaze left Kinuhata Saiai and turned to the expressionless healing-type girl beside her.

She has neatly trimmed shoulder-length short hair and wears a plain pink sportswear, but even wearing such clothes, you can still see the bulge in her figure.

Takitsubo Rikou!
