Chapter 7

Making this declaration,

Touma Doi still had a full smile on his face, and he even deliberately pointed upwards with his index finger, completely genuine.

In reality...

In Touma Doi's heart.

"Finished, finished, I really said it. Saying such things, how can I maintain social interactions? Although I didn't really want to socialize with these brats anyway, why did I listen to that useless sister of mine..."

"Even though she's just a waste, she keeps trying to dictate my life. Why is that?"

Touma Doi thought for a moment and came to the closest answer:

"Indeed, she wants to switch roles and become the older sister, right?"

"What a wicked plan. A younger sister wanting to become the older sister is more evil than a demon descending. This is a cancer of the world. If Rumi has this condition, she will destroy the entire world, and the universe will only sway at her fingertips!"

Touma Doi sighed, lowering his head.

Then, what awaited him was...

Teacher Takahashi slamming her lesson plan on the desk.

"Touma Doi, what nonsense did you just say?" She was hoping to confuse the situation.

However...

The students in the classroom were already angry.

"Hey, what kind of S&M is this? The school doesn't even care about such perverted remarks?"

"Get out, Class 2-D doesn't need any S&M!"

"Damn it, making such remarks, are you looking for a fight?"

At this moment...

The only person in the entire classroom who seemed to have woken up from a half-dream was a woman who opened her eyes wide: "Touma Doi! That guy, is he our new transfer student?"

Shizuka Kasumigaoka covered her mouth. She hadn't expected that the person who had made her feel a bit itchy and curious all afternoon would be in the same class as her!

...

"Do you think a new transfer student would know every popular figure in the school?" That's what he said.

Now it seems, he wasn't lying.

"By the way, others say I'm a sadistic scum..." That's also what he said.

Shizuka Kasumigaoka thought, who introduces themselves like that? It's as if he wants to exclude others from his social circle, doesn't want to socialize with her? Touma Doi!

Until...

The first class in the afternoon, Teacher Takahashi was a bit late, probably went to a party again last night, she thought.

But, let's sleep first, there won't be any more daytime naps.

"In today... new... transfer student" In a daze, Shizuka Kasumigaoka seemed to hear something, but what does it have to do with her? Sleep...

Until...

"I, Touma Doi!..."

Shizuka Kasumigaoka opened her sleepy eyes...

That guy, introducing himself like that in such a situation... It's like he's completely unrestrained, looking at Touma Doi's smiling face, she thought. Does he even realize what he said?

Don't blame her for thinking this way, the small circle culture in Japan is stricter than anything.

Even she...

Despite being the No. 1 at Houshizaki, she is excluded from small circles and the atmosphere.

Whether she's a high-and-mighty flower or a sleeping beauty, beyond these beautiful descriptions, there is actually stark malice and an isolating atmosphere.

Shizuka Kasumigaoka didn't know how to describe this phenomenon, so she poured her emotions into her writing.

In the end, Shizuka Kasumigaoka, at this moment, is just a sixteen-year-old girl with no friends.

But...

Shizuka Kasumigaoka looked at the smiling face on the podium again, the same declaration, the same explosive impact. She could swear, no one would introduce themselves like this in their entire life.

This is an introduction that clearly doesn't want to fit in with the atmosphere!

...

On the podium, Touma Doi looked at the group of students whose faces were still filled with anger and smiled. This time, he smiled even more pleasantly!

Turning around.

Touma Doi said to Teacher Takahashi, "Teacher, the other students seem very indignant. I feel I'm not suitable to continue this class. Also, Teacher, you should really go out and see the world."

Like fleeing in defeat, Touma Doi left the classroom, leaving a bewildered Takahashi Ren and a classroom full of angry students.

After a while.

"Touma Doi!" Takahashi Ren finally shouted this name.

The other students: "..."

Indignant, do you think it's all because of who?

Shizuka Kasumigaoka smiled, that guy is really unique!

But...

How did someone like him get to know a big shot like Kami no Tongue? She was becoming more and more curious about him.

Looking around, she realized there were no more empty desks and chairs, except for one desk in the last row next to her. So, that guy transferring here would become her desk partner?

On the other side.

Touma Doi, who had voluntarily left the classroom, laughed: "Rumi definitely didn't expect that the self-introduction she gave me would become my reason to skip class. Hahaha... so pleasant!"

Looking at the time, it was not yet two in the afternoon. Touma Doi felt even more pleased: "Since I've already reported to the teacher, I don't really want to attend the afternoon classes. Hehe... it's time to give that useless sister a lesson."

Thinking this, he directly went to the shoe locker to change into his outdoor shoes. Under the stunned gaze of the security guard (or the principal), he leaped over the fence and left the school...

Much simpler than at Tōtsuki.

At exactly 2:30 PM, in a residential area not far from Houshizaki.

The Touma residence.

Touma Doi was about to use his key to open the door when his sister, as if sensing something, opened the door first. It was a perfect coordination.

But...

"I'm home." Touma Doi was slightly puzzled.

"Welcome back." Touma Rumi, maintaining her ladylike demeanor, handed him slippers, smiling brightly, not asking why her brother came home so early.

But...

Touma Doi was still hesitant...

After receiving the tea Rumi had prepared, Touma Doi finally spoke: "Rumi, who came today? Or did you do something? Your behavior is a bit off-putting."

Click.

The hamster Rumi, who had just taken away the teapot, was hit hard.

But, thinking about what she did today...

Touma Rumi wanted to slap herself. Why couldn't she control her hands!

Stunned for a while, the hamster Rumi finally stammered: "Y-Yes, Onii-sama, today, Doi-san came to look for you."

"Doi?" Touma Doi subconsciously rubbed his chin: "What did that guy want? Wait!" He noticed a key point, desperately needing a Blind Monk to save him!

The useless sister just said, Doi-san, right?

Doi-san, right?

Indeed, I should have added poison to the mayonnaise and killed him!

Doi is the kind of person who should be eliminated. Forcing someone's sister to call him "big brother," die, Doi, Doi, die...

With this thought, Touma Doi turned back with a benevolent smile and looked at his sister: "Rumi, didn't I tell you before? Be polite, don't call Doi 'big brother,' call him 'Mr. Doi.' Repeat after me: Doi-san (Mr. Doi)!"

His tone was also very benevolent!

Touma Rumi looked confused: "Eh...?"

"It's okay, Rumi, tell me, how did you interact with Doi today?" Touma Doi's face still had a benevolent smile, but before Rumi could speak, he muttered to himself: "Once I find out, I'll send that guy straight to the Sanzu River, hehe..."
