5. Koimai Maiko

Ability name: Psychometry

Overview: Reads information about the object touched.

Explanation:

Depending on her level of proficiency, she can read information about the object she touches.

Not only the scientific components but also what path it took to get here in the past and how it was used.

If the object is a living thing, memories, personal information, thoughts and feelings can also be read.

However, when reading about painful memories and tragedies, takes a mental toll because the reader comes to know the tragedy with a deep understanding of painful emotions.

This reading is not seeing but knowing. It takes the form of knowledge and sensation flowing into their heads in a way that cannot be accurately described by a non-psychometrist.

Incidentally, she can also read the other person’s likes, affection towards her, and sexual personal information, so one must curb one’s curiosity when doing psychometry on a human being.

Also, the information she read is arbitrary.

Touching a person doesn’t mean that a huge amount of information about the subject will flow in.

In Maiko’s case, she touches Ikuo Okui every day and says with psychometry, “Did you abuse teleportation…and do you like me, no, it’s nothing.” She doesn’t know any more than that, because she does psychometry like that.

The name of the subject, at least, can be known just by sight without touching it.

Background setting:

She has a crush on Honey-kun, not that she wants to steal him or anything, but when she secretly did psychometry on how Kiriha thinks about the mistress culture when previously mentioned to Kiriha, she knows that Kiriha is the one who is OK with Honey-kun making mistresses if she’s the best.

Commercial usage:

Quality Inspection

Touching the ground to search for mineral deposits

Unbeatable in gambling (is this commercial use?)

Combat usage:

Fight while shouting out loud the secrets that her opponent doesn’t want to be exposed.

Spreading her opponent’s personal information on the Internet as fast as she can.

How to beat her:

Since she doesn’t have physical combat power, she can be defeated normally.

If you ask her about her bust size, she’ll get very upset, so attack while she’s upset.

When she hears the word “G,” she will be startled, thinking that her bust size has been revealed, so you can take her down during that time.
