Kobato Finally Gets Her Wish.

There are always other people in this world who are just as lucky as them.

The two arrived at the Far East Magic Society.

Before Hasegawa Izumi could even settle into his seat on the sofa, someone pounced on him and grabbed his arm.

"Club President, this is so difficult! How exactly can we develop 'Star Platinum's' ability to stop time?!"

"Please teach me, I can do anything! Hug me, cook for me, warm my bed, even..."

The Silver-haired Witch spoke with tears in her eyes and great emotion.

"Asking for advice is fine, but don't take the opportunity to grope me!"

Nibuya Morika appeared behind her, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and pulled her aside to prevent her from embracing her any further.

The reference for Natsukawa Masuzu's awakened ability is 'Star Platinum'. Although its own attributes are very strong, its 'time stop' ability is clearly the real core.

However, even now, several months later, she is still at a loss as to how to solve this problem.

Therefore, I am genuinely seeking your advice today.

"Tell me your development strategy first."

Hasegawa Izumi asked softly.

"My idea is simple: to accelerate Star Platinum beyond the limits of time."

Natsukawa Masuzu said seriously.

When Star Platinum's speed exceeds the speed of light, it affects the flow of time, creating an effect that appears as if time has stopped.

That's her understanding.

"Your understanding is correct, but have you considered the differences in the world?"

Hasegawa Izumi countered with a question.

This world is not that world.

Natsukawa Masuzu awakened her abilities according to her own understanding, but that doesn't mean she can fully realize them without bias.

A bug-level ability like 'time stop' cannot be achieved as simply as pressing a switch in 'Stand World'.

"So that's how it is. Was I being too ambitious?"

Natsukawa Masuzu slumped her head, as if life had suddenly become meaningless.

It's so frustrating not being able to use my ultimate move!

"However, if your will is strong enough, the world might respond and connect with your abilities, obtaining the 'time stop' switch... However, you'll need to reach at least Rank Three to potentially achieve this, and even then, it won't take long."

Hasegawa Izumi didn't rule out the possibility of anything, giving the girl hope.

"That's good! As long as it can be achieved... I'll reach Rank Three soon!"

Natsukawa Masuzu raised her head, her energy restored, and her expression joyful.

"This guy is really passionate about the things he likes."

The other three girls thought to themselves with strange expressions.

Half an hour later.

"Bang bang bang..."

After several days, the Far East Magic Knot once again welcomed an unfamiliar guest.

She was a tall, beautiful woman with long orange hair, a beauty mark under her eye, and prominent eyeshadow, giving her a sexy vibe that was quite rare in Shuchiin.

"Come in."

"Help me, everyone from the Far East Magic Society!"

She called out and ran over, but because she was too hasty, she lost her balance when she stepped on the carpet mat and fell towards the small table.

At this rate, she might very well smash her head on the small table and suffer a serious head injury.

"No!"

Just then, a hand reached out from the side.

Takanashi Rikka caught her by the waist and helped her straighten up.

"Hey? We're saved!"

She opened her eyes again, realized she hadn't had time, patted her chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Usami Suzune. I've admired everyone for a long time, especially Hasegawa-kun, who is my idol. I still remember your heroic performance on the court..."

"If it's alright, shall we add each other on Line? I have a lot of things I'd like to ask you for your advice on..."

Usami Suzune took a sip of hot tea and began to speak fluently.

"Seriously!"

The girls shouted impatiently.

"Don't be in such a hurry!"

Usami Suzune muttered something, and seeing that her idol didn't react at all, she revealed the real reason she had come today.

Suddenly, her expression turned serious, and she cleared her throat.

"Just recently..."

"I have suffered an unprecedented form of cyberbullying."

"Then, I had jade."

His few words commanded everyone's respect; they exchanged glances and nodded silently.

"Therefore, I would like to ask everyone to solve this problem."

Usami Suzune said with a serious expression.

"Why are you contacting us about something like this?"

"This is not a place to make wishes."

"Go check out our club's public notice!"

"To be precise, it's a boring death."

Everyone unanimously disagreed.

"I don't know if I fit the definition of 'Supernatural event' that everyone talks about, but ever since I was cyberbullied, I've felt like I've been having a lot of bad luck, like losing my wallet, tripping and falling on flat ground, forgetting my phone, being tripped by someone, and so on..."

She spread her hands and said.

Are you sure it's not just that you're sloppy or have a bad memory?

The girls gave them skeptical looks, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

"That's because you've been 'cursed'."

You are currently experiencing a period of bad luck.

Hasegawa Izumi just said.

"Really!?"

Usami Rin looked surprised.

The girls' expressions changed.

I can't believe it's true!

It's really embarrassing that none of them noticed.

However, cursing is certainly not their area of expertise.

"I've heard that some people in our line of work try to climb the ladder by using shady methods, like raising ghosts... So, I've been targeted by those ugly monsters! Am I going to die?!"

Muttering to herself, Usami Suzune's face showed a look of terror.

The girls were almost speechless.

You got so engrossed in it way too quickly!

And you actually believed that?

45

Chapter 45. Kōko finally got what she wanted.

That's not the case.

Hasegawa Izumi directly denied this speculation.

"What's going on?!"

Usami Suzune pressed for more information.

"Because the curse upon you was not man-made."

"Not by human intervention? Then who else could it be, Lord God?"

"Let me put it in terms you can understand... It's like when you're playing a game, the system malfunctions, causing all sorts of bugs in the game, and you just happen to run into one."

"Eh~"

The girl's voice trailed off.

"But I don't play games."

She was a student in Mixed Academy Student, and her family wasn't well-off, so in addition to studying hard, she also worked part-time as a print model to earn her tuition fees.

Then, as her fame grew, it was inevitable that her part-time job would be discovered by her classmates at school.

As a student of Pure Academy Student, she already had a certain prejudice against students from Mixed Academy Student. Then, under the influence of various jinxes, all sorts of rumors emerged. Online and in chat groups, people said that she "disgraced the reputation of Shuchiin" and "was being kept by someone," and other such nasty things, wanting her to get out of Shuchiin.

She said she had been subjected to cyberbullying, and she was being quite serious, not joking.

"Then just think of it as a 'supernatural phenomenon' that's beyond human control, and you've accidentally gotten caught up in it."

Nibuya Morika interjected.

The others, however, grasped the concept quickly.

"So, this guy was cursed because he was being cursed online?"

With slender, delicate fingers lightly touching her cherry lips, Natsukawa Masuzu suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"This is how a curse can be formed? This world is truly incredible, Death."

Dekomori Sanae looked on in surprise.

"No way! What should I do? Ask everyone to delete the post?"

Usami Suzune paused for a moment.

"Obviously not. This is a product of the dark side of the human heart. To save you, we must start from the 'root'."

Takanashi Rikka covered half her face with one hand, as if she saw through everything, and said in a very cool way.

What on earth is this all about?

Usami Suzune had a question mark above her head.

"All you need to do is change everyone's opinion of you."

Nibuya Morika explained.

This is actually quite difficult.

Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain!

It was because Hasegawa Izumi achieved something unprecedented and unparalleled at Shuchiin that everyone was convinced and respected.

"I can't do that!"

Usami Suzune slumped onto the small table, looking utterly exhausted. Her rounded breasts were squeezed flat, outlining a sexy curve, as if she were seducing someone.

This attracted strange looks from the girls.
