Classroom of the Elite, Kusuo Saiki

Meanwhile, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka seems to have run into Ibuki Mio again, which is quite a strange coincidence. However, this time they seem to have successfully teamed up.

[I'd already heard that fortune-telling here requires two people to do it together, and Qi Mu and I are doing it together... it's like we're a couple.]

'Ugh. '

Kusuo Saiki sighed inwardly. Of course, he didn't want to participate in such an operation, but since he had no reason to refuse, he had no choice but to come here.

But at that moment, Kusuo Saiki's phone vibrated slightly twice.

He took out his phone and glanced at it; two messages had been sent to his phone almost simultaneously.

Airi Sakura: Kusuo-kun, are you free? I'd like to attend a school fortune-telling session... but it seems like it requires two people... I don't know who to invite, so I can only invite you. It's okay if you're not free...

Hiyori Shiina: Saiki-kun, I wonder if you're interested in things like fortune telling?

'Wow, is there really such a coincidence in this world? But as long as those two don't happen to be here.'

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka thought to himself.

Chapter 88: That's right, I'm a superpowered person.

Let's just make up an excuse for now.

As Saiki Kusuo thought to himself, he prepared to send a message to the two of them.

But at that moment, Kusuo Saiki caught a familiar voice.

[Kusuo-kun...will he come...?]

"Really?"

Kusuo Saiki froze for a moment, his eyes widening suddenly.

There were so many people here that even telepathy couldn't distinguish between different people's voices—but Kusuo Saiki heard Airi Sakura's thoughts with perfect clarity.

This means that Airi Sakura herself is very close.

Kusuo Saiki turned his head slightly and saw Airi Sakura standing to the side, looking timid and hesitant, as if waiting for the others to arrive.

'Oh no, I hope she didn't see me...'

Saiki Kusuo thought to himself, then turned away as if he hadn't seen anything.

But at that very moment, as if by telepathy, Sakura Airi also turned around and saw Saiki Kusuo preparing to turn around.

"Kusuo-kun?"

Sakura Airi was somewhat surprised, and a hint of delight appeared in her eyes. She hadn't expected to see Saiki Kusuo here.

"Sakura..."

Having no other choice, Kusuo Saiki could only bite the bullet and greet the other party.

But at that moment, Sakura Airi's gaze shifted to the side and landed on Karuizawa Megumi's face. She had no idea that Karuizawa Megumi would be here.

Why is Karuizawa here...? Could it be that Kusuo-kun... came here for a fortune telling with Karuizawa?

[On Kusuo-kun's birthday... Karuizawa-kun also came alone.......]

Could it be that... Karuizawa-kun and Kusuo-kun are already... in that kind of relationship?

Sakura Airi felt uneasy and desperately wanted to ask, but she didn't have the courage to say it and could only manage a forced greeting.

"Karuizawa-san...you're here too..."

Good afternoon, Sakura.

In terms of personality, the two can be described as two extremes, but compared to before, Sakura Airi has improved a lot, at least she has the courage to take the initiative to greet others.

"Karuizawa wanted to try fortune telling here, but since it was in pairs, she asked me to come along."

Before Sakura Airi could start overthinking, Saiki Kusuo spoke up to explain, preventing her from imagining even stranger things.

"oh oh!"

Sakura Airi nodded. After confirming that Karuizawa Megumi and Saiki Kusuo were not a couple, she felt a little happier for some reason.

'Well, let's leave it at that for now. Thank goodness it was just Sakura. If Shiina had been here too…'

"Qi Mu!"

Before Kusuo Saiki could finish speaking in his mind, Hiyori Shiina's voice rang out from the side.

'? ? ? '

Kusuo Saiki was filled with questions; this was the first time he had ever felt that gods might exist in this world.

'Looks like I really should go see a fortune teller.'

"I just saw Sakura and was about to go over and say hello... I didn't expect to see you here, Saiki-kun."

Shiina Hiyori's eyes showed a hint of surprise; she hadn't expected to see such a strange combination here.

Are Karuizawa and Sakura both here? Judging from their expressions... they both seem a bit bothered by Shinobu's presence.

Shiina Hiyori thought to herself.

'Shiina's observational skills are truly terrifying. But ultimately, Shiina should be a very rational person, so why would she be interested in things like divination?'

Kusuo Saiki thought to himself.

"It's supposed to be in pairs, but there doesn't seem to be a rule that it has to be a male-female pair—"

Shiina Hiyori looked at Karuizawa Megumi, her eyes slightly narrowed.

"If the four of us go together, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"Isn't four people a bit inappropriate?"

Karuizawa Kei raised her eyebrows slightly, seemingly somewhat displeased by the sudden appearance of Sakura Airi and Shiina Hiyori.

"I think...it's okay..."

Sakura Airi, who is usually not very talkative, unusually expressed her opinion.

"Then let's have all four of us together, that should be fine."

Kusuo Saiki said directly that it would be particularly awkward to be alone with one of them for a fortune telling, but it would be a little easier if there were other people present.

So the four of them stood together and joined the line.

Kusuo Saiki quickly began to regret his decision.

[This guy, with three women by himself?]

These three girls are so cute! I'm so envious.

[I've seen this person before, it's Saiki Kusuo from Class B!]

The previously chaotic thoughts suddenly became somewhat unified, and their attention almost simultaneously shifted to Kusuo Saiki.

'Yare yare.....'

Kusuo Saiki's urge to leave grew stronger.

After a long wait in line, it was finally Saiki Kusuo and the others' turn.

'Oh dear, oh dear, have we finally arrived?'

Kusuo Saiki shook his head helplessly.

"Hello, we work in pairs here."

The staff member in charge of providing assistance said so.

"The four of us are together, and we're in adjacent positions in the queue, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"Hmm...okay, please come in."

Saiki Kusuo and his three companions finally entered the shop, only to be greeted by a stunningly beautiful young woman.

Divination and fortune telling.

'Oh my, oh my, looks about our age, right?'

Kusuo Saiki thought to himself that the other party was just using ambiguous statements to scam money, but high school students were very easy to fall for. Kusuo Saiki just wanted to end this matter as soon as possible.

"Um... could you please calculate this for me..."

Leading the way was Sakura Airi, who wanted to ask Aibo no Mikoto about matters of love.

But before Sakura Airi could finish speaking, Aiboku suddenly revealed a meaningful smile:

"It must be related to romance!"

Upon hearing Aisuke's words, Sakura Airi's face turned bright red instantly.

[So accurate!]

Sakura Airi sighed inwardly.

'Others probably haven't even started their fortune telling yet. Most high school girls who come here ask similar questions, right?'

Kusuo Saiki thought to himself.

But at that moment, Xiang Buming suddenly moved. She picked up a bucket that was placed in the shop, spun it at high speed with terrifying arm strength, and then put it down. She then took a pencil lead from the table and threw it into the water.

【? ? ? 】

A huge question mark couldn't help but appear in the minds of everyone present.

What is this guy doing?

Kusuo Saiki's expression gradually became serious because he saw and heard something unexpected.

"You have a guy you really care about!"

"I can't believe it!" said Ai-chan immediately, and upon hearing this, Sakura Airi's heart began to race.

"You and that guy aren't exactly a good match, but what the future holds depends on you... Wait, you seem to have a hidden side that no one else knows about, perhaps that's what you truly desire. If you..."

Aibo no Mikoto then uttered a long string of words, and the word "surprise" was unmistakably written on Sakura Airi's face.

'Yare yare.....'

Kusuo Saiki narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on Aiboku no Mikoto.
