Ichika instantly pouted in annoyance. "Akasaka-senpai, Senpai has disrupted my lunch."
She seemed to strongly object to Ryunosuke's sudden appearance. Furthermore, because of this bastard of a man, her monthly allowance—including for the next three years—had become extremely tight. Even inside her own bento box, it was deeply pitiful that there was not a single piece of meat.
Ryunosuke had no time to concern himself with that and asked directly.
"Is there a wish you want to make come true?"
"Hah? What kind of nonsense is Senpai talking about? Do you actually think you're Santa Claus, Senpai?" Ichika sneered disdainfully. She raised her chopsticks again and resumed eating the pitiful vegetable salad inside her bento box.
The more she ate, the more annoyed she became.
(What kind of food am I even eating? This is all because of this guy, yet he actually has the nerve to show up in front of me.)
Even though she had been kind enough to tip him off by betraying Ayanokouji, whom she had worshiped all this time, the result she obtained was instead like this. The more Ichika thought about it, the more miserable she felt.
Ryunosuke did not want to waste any more time. He was just about to tell the truth, but seeing Ichika's face looking so frustrated, possessed by who knows what, he suddenly reached out his right hand and patted Ichika's fluffy, burgundy-colored hair.
Feeling the weight on top of her head, Ichika shook her head to brush Ryunosuke's hand away, indicating that she was unwilling to be patted. She looked as though she was sulking.
Ryunosuke initially offered a small smile, then reached out his hand again to pat her once more. However, Ichika managed to evade while protecting her twintail hair. She shifted her bottom backward. "What do you want to do, Senpai?!"
Ryunosuke continued to press forward, while Ichika kept backing up, until finally she could not back up any further because she was already at the very outer edge of the long bench.
Ichika ultimately gave up. She lowered the hands that were protecting her ponytail hair. "Geez, fine, just pat it."
Ryunosuke directly patted it without hesitation. He ruffled the hair vigorously, to the point of making Ichika's hair almost resemble a bird's nest.
The chopsticks in Ichika's hand even snapped because she squeezed them so hard. She lifted her bento box and was about to hurl it in Ryunosuke's direction.
"Does Senpai not know that hair is the life of a girl?! Every morning I have to spend half an hour styling this hair!"
Ryunosuke was somewhat puzzled. "Isn't this just an ordinary double ponytail?"
Ichika sat back down. Originally she wanted to reply while eating, but she only just realized that her chopsticks were already broken. This bento could not be eaten anymore, so she put it away with a face full of resentment.
"What does Senpai mean by just an ordinary double ponytail? What do you know? Do you not feel that this hair of mine is extremely fluffy?"
Ryunosuke stroked his chin. "It is indeed very fluffy, the sensation when touching it is also very good and soft."
Ichika glared sharply at him, not even deigning to call him Senpai anymore. "Just what exactly did you come here for?"
Ryunosuke reached his hand back out to her hair, and this time Ichika did not evade.
Ryunosuke thought while continuing to pat it. Gradually, his hand stroked the part of Ichika's double ponytails that was shaped to resemble an electric drill.
Ichika showed a dead-fish eye stare and looked straight at him.
(This hairstyle has to be restyled from scratch again,) she grumbled in her heart.
Ryunosuke had his fill of patting, then withdrew his hand and uttered a confusing sentence. "Just consider this as the reward."
Rising to his feet to leave the rooftop, he pulled out his phone without hesitation and sent a message to Megumi, stating that Yagami could be rescued out as well.
This entire process only took a brief 15 minutes, and Ryunosuke still found the time to tease a girl.
Meanwhile, Ichika, who sat on the rooftop, felt this matter was highly baffling, but she still felt her hair which had been made a mess.
"Having to waste time again to style it, how annoying."
"But, do you like this kind of hairstyle?"
Ichika did not realize the change in her heart. She seemed to be starting to like Ryunosuke a little. Even for a long time in the future, unconsciously she always dressed up with this hairstyle every single day and never changed it.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
On the other side, after receiving the instructions, Megumi successfully let Yagami out. However, she warned the man to behave submissively and not to take any unnecessary actions.
Yagami moved his punching wrist, stating that he understood. To him, the most important thing was being able to escape from the White Room. As long as he could flee from this white cage, he would be free. Then he would just have to look for a place to hide his identity so that he could spend the rest of his life in peace.
By the time Atsuomi received the news, those people had long since fled. He gritted his teeth with absolute fury.
"Are you all a bunch of useless people?!"
"Can't even guard people properly, what am I keeping you around for?!"
Everyone who was scolded did not dare to lift their heads to utter a single word. After all, those people vanished right under their noses, and even the entire surveillance camera apparatus was destroyed.
Atsuomi was also very well aware of this. While sitting in his luxury chair, he supported his forehead which felt a bit dizzy.
(But I truly cannot fathom how those people could disappear right under his nose.)
(Inside the White Room which is filled with surveillance cameras.)
(Coupled with the number of subordinates reaching into the hundreds.)
(Just how exactly could the opposing party sneak inside and rescue those people out?)
Right now there were too many things that could not be understood by Atsuomi, unless the opposing party could turn invisible.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Meanwhile, Megumi along with the two people who successfully escaped only arrived at the Advanced Nurturing High School when it was already night. Ryunosuke along with Narumori had long been awaiting their arrival.
The reason Ryunosuke asked for Narumori's help was to pick them back up, while simultaneously hiding everything about them so that it would not be known by the outside world. That was why they picked them up at night when there was no one around.
Megumi brought Ayanokouji and Yagami down from the ship onto the land, then walked over to Ryunosuke's side to report that the task was completed.
Ryunosuke stroked her bob hair. Megumi thoroughly enjoyed that stroking, acting spoiled like an obedient cat.
This sight instantly made Ayanokouji and Yagami, who saw it from the side, feel amazed yet bewildered.
Just moments ago this very woman was the one who single-handedly broke into the White Room to rescue them, yet now she instead showed such a submissive attitude. They honestly did not know what to comment from which angle.
Narumori, who was on the side, also showed an expression of a face full of confusion.
"Is this girl a student at our school?"
"Why do I have absolutely no memory of her?"
The thing that was not realized by Narumori was, if under normal conditions there was a strange girl approaching his future son-in-law, he would certainly speak up to prevent it. However, for some reason, when facing this girl, such a desire did not arise at all.
More precisely, he had ignored her presence.
Just like a person who is fundamentally considered non-existent, no one would regard her as a threat.
Therefore, Megumi took advantage of this thin presence of hers. Even if she openly flirted with Ryunosuke, no one would comment anything, because everyone instinctively ignored it.
This is a concept. Simultaneously a disease that exists in Megumi's body. Just like Puberty Syndrome.
Ryunosuke did not know whether this was the same thing, but if this matter were to disrupt Megumi's normal life, he still had to think of a way to cure it.
