Thanks to Su Yu's timely handling, there wasn't any small news like 'Thrilling Giant Python Monster in Roadside Park' the next day.
Kazuo Saiki came to school as usual and saw another figure in the hallway. He couldn't help but look at the girl walking towards him.
[Speaking of which, the stalker who usually appears in unexpected places didn't notice him today. It was very peaceful on the way to school. Although it doesn't seem likely, did you do something?]
Su Yu walked towards him and put on her glasses again. The people around her didn't look surprised at all, but in Saiki's eyes, it was very unbelievable.
The girl's temperament was very demure, and the corner of her mouth seemed to have a faint smile, faintly attracting his gaze. The transparent lens couldn't hide the eyebrows and eyes that seemed to have been carefully carved by the creator, and the small mole at the corner of her eye added a charm that couldn't be found on people of the same age.
[It's strange. Why didn't anyone say 'oh wow' when facing Su Yu like this? Are they blind?]
[That pair of glasses is a key item.]
His eyes stayed on her for a short two seconds before moving away from her body. Su Yu just pursed her lips and smiled faintly.
After yesterday's conversation, compared to Ai Amanuma who didn't know the details, Saiki was definitely more inclined to talk to her, who had confessed to him, about this matter. What she needed to do now was to wait for the boy to come to her door.
But it wasn't bad to cause trouble for Amanuma.
She came to class as usual. Tobiru Lingta, who mysteriously disappeared yesterday, was sitting in his seat. When he saw the girl open the door, his eyes lit up, and then his face became troubled.
He didn't remember anything after yesterday's possession. He remembered that when he was in the toilet, another 'him' appeared in front of him, and then he was kicked away by 'himself'.
When he woke up, he was already lying at home. So asking Su Yu to watch a movie, was it really not a dream?
The girl with black-rimmed glasses seemed to have noticed his gaze and turned to look at him. She seemed to be in a good mood and smiled at him.
This smile seemed to give Niaoshu unlimited courage. He stood up and walked in that direction, saying, "Good, good morning, Su Yu. How, how was yesterday?"
Thinking about his dream-like experience, Niao Shu even stuttered when he spoke.
Su Yu blinked, tilted her head and said to him, "Are you talking about the movie yesterday? It was very good. Thank you, Toriko-kun, for helping me move things yesterday."
"Ah?" Hearing Su Yu's words, Niaoshu Lingtai opened his mouth wide in shock and only reacted after a while, "Ah … is, is that so? It's not a big deal, haha, hahahaha …"
Niaoshu laughed dryly and quickly found an excuse to leave. He didn't have any recollection of what happened yesterday. He was afraid that if he continued to talk, he would be exposed.
Now that he thought about it, the person who looked exactly like him yesterday was probably the esper who cheated. Although he didn't know why he did this, it didn't seem like anything bad happened. Su Yu's impression of him yesterday was also good. He might as well beat her at her own game and pretend that the person yesterday was him.
After thinking this through, Niaoshu Lingta sat back in his seat. He planned to go to the cinema after school and ask if any ghosts saw what happened yesterday.

During lunch break, the girl avoided everyone and came to the rooftop of the school building. From here, she could see half of the PK school. It was lunchtime and many students were walking towards the small store. From here, she could see the people on the school path clearly.
Students usually didn't come to this rooftop because the door was already rusted shut by the rain. Su Yu found this place on the second day she came here. She easily opened the rusted door, but usually, she still closed the iron door and pretended that it couldn't be opened.
Su Yu sat cross legged outside the barbed wire without hesitation. She opened the lunch box that Kyōko carefully prepared. As usual, the dishes that were full of girly feeling entered her eyes. The small sausage was carved into the shape of an octopus, the carrot was cut into a heart, and even the rice balls seemed to be pinched into the shape of a rabbit.
Su Yu picked up a small sausage and threw it into her mouth. She narrowed her eyes slightly.
It wasn't that the food tasted good, it was just that someone prepared food for her. This made her feel very happy. It was because she had gone through so many lonely years that she understood the value of companionship.
While she was happily eating, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind her: "Sitting in such a conspicuous place, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
[It's very troublesome to be misunderstood as a female student who wants to jump off a building.]
"So it's Jun Saiki. What a surprise," Su Yu turned her head to look at him, "I thought you would come to me later."
[Troublesome things should be solved as soon as possible.]
The youth jumped up in place, easily flew over the barbed wire, and sat down next to her.
"Did Jun Saiki eat lunch?" Su Yu asked in a muffled voice as she stuffed a piece of tamagoyaki into her mouth.
Of course, this could be said to be a bit rude, but when it was done by her, it would only make people feel the contrast of cuteness.
The youth looked away and no longer looked at her. He nodded silently. He only felt that after encountering Su Yu, he seemed to have become a bit strange.
Seeing this, Su Yu reached into her pocket and took out a few candies. She threw them into Saiki's arms and said, "Then eat some candies first. We'll talk after I finish eating."
Saiki used his Telekinesis to catch the candies that fell out of his hand. He looked at her helplessly.
[Do you think you're coaxing a kindergarten child? Don't mess with the candies.]
But he still reached out and peeled off the candy wrapper.
The wind on the rooftop was a bit strong. From time to time, the long black hair of the girl next to him would be blown to his side, bringing a faint fragrance. Saiki silently fixed the hair with his Telekinesis and added a protective layer around the girl.
[If you fall down here, it will cause big news. I'll have to find someone else to ask about the things I want to ask.]
She didn't seem to notice his little movements. After quickly finishing the lunch, Su Yu put it back into the dimension. Then she turned her head and looked at the youth who had been waiting for a moment.
"Okay, now let's talk about our business." She took the initiative to speak with a smile.
[When I see such a smile, I feel like the credibility drops by several percentage points.]
Swallowing the candy in his mouth, Saiki asked faintly, "How much do you know about Sazuki Iori?"
"Huh?" She thought he would ask about Ai Amanuma, but she didn't expect him to suddenly mention a name she had never heard before. Su Yu blinked and asked hesitantly, "It's … a black-haired girl with a giant python?"
[Girl? Do you have any misunderstanding about your age?]
Saiki looked at her and said with certainty, "She's a stalker who always appears around my house."
[And she's a serious chuunibyou. Although it's not difficult to catch her, when telepathy doesn't work, it makes me deeply aware of the fact that different species can't communicate with each other.]
[This pair of bihato is so normal that it's touching.]
Su Yu nodded. It seemed that the name of the girl yesterday was Sazuki Iori, and it wasn't a coincidence that she was following her that day. But at that time, Saiki's attention was probably on her, so he didn't notice her existence.
"We should be talking about the same person …" Su Yu reached out and touched her chin. "Yesterday, I took care of her giant python. She shouldn't appear again in a short period of time."
When she said this, the girl's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing an indifferent and languid expression.
"So, what is your purpose?" Quietly observing her reaction, the young man suddenly shot a straight ball.
[You know how to use the word 'take care'? Are you a scavenger?]
"My purpose?" Su Yu couldn't help but repeat again. She had a casual smirk and joked. "Of course it's to maintain the love and peace of the world."
The esper looked at her indifferently, and lightning flashed in his hand.
"Okay okay, I'll be serious." Su Yu immediately raised her hand and surrendered. Seeing the dangerous lightning in the youth's hand extinguish, she couldn't help but complain. "Espers are so fierce …"
[I can let you feel something even fiercer.]
Saiki put down his hand expressionlessly.
Su Yu cleared her throat and said in a serious tone, "Here's the thing. Didn't I tell you yesterday? I'm the owner of a grocery store, and Amanuma and the others are souls from another dimension. They are also my customers."
"I sell my ability, and they pay for it. It's a simple relationship. But because of the mismanagement in the early years, well … for example, the ability I sold was too dangerous and not suitable for this world, so it caused a lot of trouble."
"Now my goal is to find a way to make them return the goods willingly." The girl blinked and smiled. "It's also a way to solve the problem."
After hearing her words, Saiki nodded silently.
[Indeed, if things are really as you said, our goal is the same for now.]
Although he guessed that Su Yu might leave, Saiki still asked just in case, "Then after the matter is settled, what will you do?"
"Of course I will go to another world," Su Yu, who faced Saiki, didn't hold back in front of Atobe. She said indifferently.
[Are there other worlds? But if you're going to leave, does that mean that after helping you get rid of these people, everyone related to them will disappear? There won't be any more worries.]
Saiki lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. After a while, as if he had made up his mind, the expression on his face gradually became clear. He nodded and said in a flat tone, "Then, happy working with you."
