Pokémon, but cultural invasion

After getting some distance away, Quanshu suddenly sat up.

He summoned Polygon: "You, go check her phone for any strange chat logs or search history."

The round eyes of the multifaceted beast widened; it was law-abiding and had never done anything like this before.

"Don't be afraid, just crawl into the phone. Without a network cable, the cyber police can't find you."

"Did you hear me? Go now."

Urged on by Izumi, the Polygon reluctantly crawled into Sabrina's phone.

The sudden relationship problems, combined with the strange phenomenon of Nazi holding onto her phone for a long time today.

Figuring out exactly what happened is important for maintaining a good relationship between the two.

A few seconds later, the timid Polymorph sneaked back to Izumi no Kiku's side and slipped into the phone.

It copied a search record.

Is it normal to blush when in contact with humans?

Is it normal for a man and a woman to live together?

Why is living together with a man considered a romantic relationship?

What is a romantic relationship?

What do couples usually do after moving in together?

Does living together necessarily require intimate behavior?

Why does the lack of intimacy after cohabitation equate to impotence?

Is Izumi Tree impotent?

...

Quanshu's pupils dilated; what on earth was she investigating?

Chapter 167 Unwilling to End

Izumi stared at the explosive search history on the screen, lost in thought.

The naive superhuman was forced to live the life of an ordinary person for more than three months, gradually enriching his social experience and common sense.

Naz adapted to the sudden change and developed her own reflections in the process.

Her curiosity about her own position and her confusion about the unpredictable relationship between the two indicate that her way of thinking is becoming more like that of ordinary people.

It should have been a happy occasion, so why did it turn out like this?

Quanshu's feelings were extremely complicated. He watched as the clumsy and silly Naz had become human and could show normal human expressions.

Until she began to realize that "living with someone of the opposite sex" was actually a special thing in the eyes of ordinary people.

Although I was misled by the various answers from search engines.

But when Natsumi clearly showed her sensitivity to gender relations in front of him, Izumi still felt lost.

It feels like your own cabbage has grown up so fast that it's old enough to be eaten by pigs.

Tsk, the internet is a real menace.

His innocent and pure self must have been led astray by the evil search engine, which is why he's thinking such nonsense.

They should really make a teenager mode for Multi-Beast and install it on her phone.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Quanshu gathered his thoughts.

Since Naz is confused and troubled by their relationship, his answer just now seemed perfunctory and hasty.

What she probably wanted was a more serious and earnest answer to dispel her anxiety and confusion.

Quanshu walked to the back of the wooden house, where he could see the lake and the repaired wooden bridge.

A newly paved cobblestone path winds along the lake, with warm yellow streetlights illuminating the path at intervals.

The night sky after the rainstorm was cloudless, the stars were clear, and the indigo color of the starlight filled the lake, with a crescent moon reflected in the center of the lake.

The shimmering starlight and moonlight in the water illuminated those clear, dark red, yet blank, eyes.

Nazi gazed quietly at the night view of the lake, her thoughts wandering in the empty distance.

Her figure was tall and slender, just like a graceful bamboo in spring.

Ignoring her proud, full breasts that seemed to glow like moonlight, her slender waist was also incredibly graceful.

Her long, straight legs were brought together, supporting her full, peach-shaped buttocks beneath the fabric.

A warmth touched the ground near Quanshu's nose. He looked away; the night was dark and obscure.

Despite having a super-sized, mature woman's figure, she had previously been a girl with a lack of common sense.

Before Nazaki developed a sense of gender, Izumi didn't think much of it and ate and lived with her.

Now that I can no longer treat her like a child, my mindset has changed, and for a moment, I feel a touch of romance.

He stepped over damp twigs and wild grass; the summer insects had fallen silent, and the lake was still and quiet at night.

"Spring Tree?"

Nazi suddenly turned around, and when she saw who it was, her bright eyes were filled with panic.

Could it be that they've been discovered for coming to his door at this time because they lied about his superpowers working normally?

Fortunately, Izumi's first words reassured her somewhat—"I'm sorry, my answer was too perfunctory."

"I think it would be better to talk about our relationship again."

Izumi apologized as he approached her.

But Naz took a step back, her gaze shifting back and forth between his face and the lake beside him.

"What do you mean?"

"Aren't we the kind of friends you described?"

Her voice was filled with confusion and unease.

Thinking about all sorts of search results, my hard-won calmed-down mood was stirred up again.

"That's a rather perfunctory response. Let's talk some more... Can you stop backing down?"

Sabrina suddenly started keeping her distance, which honestly hurt Izumi a little.

She stopped and explained, "My current condition is strange, so I must maintain a safe distance."

They even know about safe social distancing?

Izumi's expression hardened, and he asked, "Your condition is strange... Is it possible that your superpowers are going berserk?"

"The superpowers are still the same, that's a different problem..."

Nazi stammered, unable to bring herself to say that she would blush when she saw Izumi's face.

"Okay, then let's keep our current distance."

Quanshu stopped and said in a low voice, "Actually, people have already thought about the answer to a question before they even ask it."

"So, Naza, can you tell me what you're thinking?"

What is the current relationship between the two...? The ball being kicked back made Naz's long eyelashes tremble slightly.

After the contract was signed, since Qishu and she lived under the same roof, she didn't feel there was anything wrong with men and women living together.

Prejudgment based on initial assumptions that everything is normal.

As time passed and Kiju left, Nazu gradually realized that cohabitation was something that only couples, or even married couples, would do.

But she didn't think much of it. After all, the two maintained a cooperative relationship, unlike ordinary people, and there was a reason for it.

Until the night the storm hit, the surging bitterness in her heart and the suffocating pressure made Naz realize that the situation had changed.

She went online to find out the source of her bad mood and the answer she got was that possessiveness was the culprit.

This was not the answer Naz wanted, nor was she willing to admit it.

Her goal is to regain her superpowers, not some random thing.

Once she achieves her goal, she will naturally leave Quanshu. How could she possibly develop a possessive desire?

So Naza tried to imagine Izumi living close to other women, and her heart began to clench...

She must be sick.

Then a new question arises: why is the object of his possessiveness Izumi no Kiku, and not someone else?

We've already used him to draw a map of the mysterious spirit's movements. If you want to experience new emotions and things, you don't necessarily have to use Izumi-ki, right?

Where does this possessiveness come from?

Ultimately, their relationship began with a mysterious spirit, and the completion of their agreement marked the end of their relationship.

These days, watching him make movies and play games, riding in cars, eating, taking walks, and enjoying the scenery together, time flies by.

Agreements... will eventually come to an end.

The night Izumi left behind the dean's back, Naza finally understood that she didn't actually want these days to end.

I also understood the source of my possessiveness—some things only have meaning when done together with him.

It absolutely cannot be anyone else; it can only be him.

Just as Izumi said to her in the movie theater: What matters is not what you do, but the person you do it with.

Once the agreement expires and time is gone forever, will she miss the time they spent together?

What does Quanshu think? How does he view this relationship?

Unable to read his mind or know his thoughts, Naz felt deeply uneasy about everything concerning him and the future.

If Izumi only uses this agreement as a means of exercising dojo authority without having any other intentions, she would feel it's very unfair.

In fact, all your troubles can be resolved with just a simple question.

But when Naz tried to use words to probe people's hearts, she realized how heavy the words stuck in her throat were.

Chapter 168 Embrace

The mind-reading ability had failed; what Izumi was thinking was an abyss she could never see.

Naz suddenly realized that ordinary people have been doing something quite remarkable all along—expressing their feelings with words and building close relationships.

Unable to directly perceive the other person's thoughts, sufficient trust is needed to support the weight of words.

The more this was the case, the less she dared to speak up.

The seed of sincerity hidden in those words withered before it could even sprout: "I feel...our relationship...is...friends?"

After thinking for a long time, I finally managed to utter, "Are we friends?"

This aligns perfectly with Izumi's perception of Nazi; a week ago, it was uncertain whether she even understood her partner, family, and so on.

He sighed softly, "If that were the case, you wouldn't look like you're about to cry."

The girl's eyes drooped, and her eyes, which had just been as bright as if they were filled with starlight, were now covered with a thin layer of mist, and her lips, which she unconsciously pursed, were slightly pale.

She was on the verge of tears, which was quite pitiful.

"Don't worry, listen to my thoughts."

Izumi's first words startled Naz: "First of all, we are not just friends."

"As you begin to integrate into normal society and experience the lives of ordinary people, you will surely have many new thoughts and feelings."

"For ordinary people, young men and women living together are indeed mostly couples or even spouses, and may also engage in intimate behavior."

"But you are a powerful superhuman, and I am... a genius director. We are not ordinary people."

"Therefore, our relationship should not be viewed through the lens of ordinary people."
