Utaha: I Can't Keep Up!

"..."

Fushimi Makoto's response was Yukino's familiar elbow strike.

After their playful banter, Fushimi Makoto explained to Yukino, "She's probably just feeling tired again."

Yukino paused, her eyes wide with surprise. "So, what method did you use to help her relieve stress? Otherwise, given your sister's personality, she would never take the initiative to find a boy."

Of course, it was the Hand of God... no, last time it was her continuous counterattacks, even biting herself while kissing, thus regaining the initiative.

"Probably, I can go along with her and cause all sorts of trouble," Fushimi Makoto replied.

Yukino remembered something and her face lit up with realization. "The trouble you caused at the pachinko parlor was her way of releasing stress?"

"She told you?"

"I saw it on the news, you guys are really making a fool of yourselves."

"Why don't you come along this time? Oh, right, I can use Shrinking Flashlight to shrink you all, and then I'll take you to a toy supermarket, so you can turn the toy city into your own vacation castle."

"... I'm not that naive."

"You were clearly tempted just now."

"Being attracted to someone doesn't mean I'm willing."

"Using formulas is fast."

The two bickered as usual, and as soon as they arrived near the activity room, they saw that Utaha and the others were all standing outside.

"What happened?" Yukino instinctively put on a serious face.

Utaha crossed her arms, showing off her impressive figure, and gestured with a half-smile, "Too many people are coming to get Ichika's autograph. I'm sorry, Minister, our activity room has been taken over by someone else."

Yukino immediately stepped back. "Fushimi Woof, chase them away."

Makoto Fushimi Makoto has launched a Pokémon attack.

Chapter 418 Utaha: I can't keep up!

Although Nakano Ichika's popularity did affect the school's order, neither her classmates nor the school's leaders and teachers had any objections to it.

They were somewhat prepared since Fushimi Makoto had previously made the school famous. However, this time Nakano Ichika's popularity was so high that it brought even more attention to the entire school.

The students who specifically came to the activity room to take a photo with Nakano Ichika were relatively easy to talk to; Fushimi Makoto usually stepped in to explain the situation, while the shy students left quickly.

As for the students who shamelessly refused to leave, Fushimi Makoto remarked, "Do you even know what the Tokyo Sword Saint is?"

Then everyone remembered that Fushimi Makoto was not only a kind-hearted tutor at school, but also a man who frequently made the news because of his high fighting prowess.

Only after all the outsiders in the activity room had left did Yukino step inside, casually pulling back the curtains and waving her hand in front of her nose.

"Is there any strange smell?" Utaha asked curiously, standing to the side.

"The smell of sweat, perfume, and various brands of shampoo." Yukino wrinkled her little nose.

"Indeed, I smelled it too." Nakano Ichika smiled helplessly. "I'm sorry, it was my oversight this time. I should have come more discreetly."

"That's how big stars are. You'll become more and more famous in the future, so you should prepare yourself in advance." Fushimi Makoto, the Pokémon, was pouring tea for everyone.

"I'll get used to it soon." Nakano Ichika's beautiful eyes sparkled, showing her anticipation for the future.

"Excuse me, I have to interrupt you." Utaha suddenly spoke, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Yukino and Nakano Ichika.

"Is something the matter?" Yukino was really uncomfortable being stared at like that, and she couldn't help but speak up.

Utaha didn't rush to answer, but instead looked at Eriri Spencer Sawamura, who was diligently doing practice problems. "Eriri Spencer Sawamura, did you hear the conversation between Yukinoshita and Ichika just now?"

"I heard you, what's wrong?" Eriri Spencer Sawamura didn't look up.

"Did you all smell so many scents just now?" Utaha's question stunned many of the girls present.

Even Yukino and Nakano Ichika were taken aback. They exchanged a glance, seemingly understanding something.

"I smelled perfume," Nakano Nino was the first to recover, "But it was just perfume."

"Me too," others chimed in, their answers almost identical.

Finally, Utaha moved a chair over, sat down in the middle, and crossed her beautiful black-stockinged legs high. Combined with the solemn expression on her face, she truly gave off the feeling of a black-stockinged queen.

Fushimi Makoto had already guessed what Utaha was going to say, but he didn't interrupt her.

"Like Nino, I only smelled the perfume. I couldn't smell any of the other scents Yukinoshita mentioned."

Utaha spoke slowly and deliberately, and only after everyone had clearly heard her statement did she add, "You know, apart from Ichika who helped with the autographs and Yotsuba who stayed in the activity room to maintain order, everyone else was standing outside."

"Yes, I really didn't notice until you said so! Yukinoshita, you really smelled it?" Nakano Nino realized, a look of surprise appearing on her small face.

"Do you think I would lie about something like this?" Yukino retorted.

Nakano Nino became even more surprised. She turned to Yotsuba and asked, "You didn't smell anything either, right?"

"No." Nakano Yotsuba shook her head like a rattle.

Miku Nakano, standing nearby, summarized. "So, Yukinoshita and Ichika's five senses are superior to ours?"

"No, that's beyond just being excellent." Utaha Fushimi Makoto first, then met Yukino's gaze.

Eriri Spencer Sawamura, who was doing her practice problems, stopped too, her pretty face full of surprise. "Fushimi, the plan you gave us not only makes the body stronger, but also enhances the five senses?"

In an instant, all the girls looked over.

The same was true for Nakano Ichika and Yukino; their eyes shone with a clear thirst for knowledge.

"Aren't the five senses also part of bodily functions?" Fushimi Makoto asked.

"But you've never told us that." Yukino was good at grasping the key points.

"Because I thought you would have thought of that already."

"Thank you so much for thinking so highly of us," Yukino said, echoing the girls' sentiments.

"Makoto, you must have known this would happen, right?" Nakano Ichika also seemed a little excited.

"I have always known that," Fushimi Makoto did not deny it.

His own improvement was also like that, a truly comprehensive improvement.

Therefore, the enhancements that the [Fantasy Badge] brings to them must be the same as those for themselves.

However, because they lacked "effort and hard work," their progress was far surpassed by Fushimi Makoto.

Upon hearing Fushimi Makoto's admission, the girls fell silent for a moment.

However, they weren't worried or afraid; they were excited.

If you keep improving in strength, speed, and then your five senses, you could easily be called a mini-superman.

"Wait, why Yukinoshita and Ichika?" Nakano Yotsuba muttered with a puzzled look. "I've been working out really hard, and sometimes I even double my training."

Because you're only imagining the minimum, the trigger frequency is too low.

Fushimi Makoto.

"Probably because they work harder than we do." Utaha still spoke with that queenly solemn tone.

Her wine-red eyes swept over everyone, and her luscious lips parted slightly as she said, "Everyone knows that Yukinoshita likes to work hard. As for Ichika, although I don't know her well, I know that her dream is to become the best actress."

"That makes sense." Nakano Nino the first to stand up and support her teammate.

"So that's how it is." The others also suddenly understood.

Nakano Ichika was a little embarrassed. She had talked about Utaha behind her back before, but now that Utaha was praising her in front of so many people, it made her seem a bit cunning.

Yukino glanced thoughtfully at Fushimi Makoto, her expression shifting for a moment, but ultimately remained silent.

As Utaha finished her analysis, the girls' desire for improvement was reignited, and the atmosphere in the activity room became lively again.

While everyone was busy with their own things, Utaha found an excuse to call Fushimi Makoto outside. Her first words were, "I just helped you out of a tight spot, how are you going to reward me?"

"To relieve the siege?" Fushimi Makoto ignorance.

Utaha smiled and leaned closer, her chest almost touching his. "Our rapid progress can't be attributed to just the schedule, right?"

Wow, Old Fatty Xia is quite perceptive too.

Fushimi Makoto somewhat surprised.

Seeing how seriously the other person analyzed it just now, he thought that Utaha really thought that way.

"As expected, my guess was right." Yukino's voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Fushimi Makoto and Utaha turned around, Yukino, with a gentle smile on her face, slowly walked towards them. "That plan alone certainly can't improve our physical functions this much."

"Tsk, I thought I was the only one who thought of that." Utaha seemed annoyed.

Yukino wasn't sure if the other person was acting, but as usual, she raised her fair chin and said calmly and naturally, "Senior, don't forget, you're not the only outstanding girl in this school. Confidence is a good thing, but arrogance can be a disaster."

"You mean you're better than me?" Utaha asked with a smile.

That smile is beautiful, but it's also a bit dangerous.

"I didn't say that," Yukino replied calmly.

Judging from her expression, that was probably what she was thinking.

"Can I take this as you issuing a challenge to me, Yukinoshita?" Utaha revealed her sharp edge.

"If you like to think that way, then so be it, Kasumigaoka Fox." Yukino said the nickname Fushimi Makoto gave Utaha.

Brilliant! Brilliant!

Fushimi Makoto, thought to himself.

As if on the same wavelength, the two beautiful girls with long, straight black hair suddenly turned to look at him at the same time.

"Who are you planning to help this time?" Utaha asked.

Yukino calmly replied, "Fushimi Woof is a terrible person. We're lucky he didn't bite us. You expect him to help us?"

"That makes sense. Fushimi Woof indeed very good at biting." Utaha unconsciously recalled the image of someone pouring yogurt on her.

Faced with the two beautiful girls' taunts and imposing aura, Fushimi Makoto adopted a completely detached, bystander's demeanor. "When are you two going to start fighting?"

"You want us to fight?" Utaha's smile had a slightly creepy feel to it.

"I don't want that," Fushimi Makoto shook his head. "You'll get a spanking from Yukino."

Utaha's smile froze.

Yukino smiled with satisfaction, "You told the truth."

But then Fushimi Makoto said, "Don't laugh yet. What if your laugh is too beautiful and I can't resist shrinking you down with a flashlight to tease you?"

Yukino stopped smiling.

Tease?

What do you take me for?

Fushimi Makoto then smiled and got down to business, "From now on, your physical abilities will become stronger and stronger until you completely crush ordinary people. At that time, whether you want to become superheroes or go around causing trouble, I can back you up."

Upon hearing this, the two beautiful girls' expressions softened.

But Utaha deliberately sneered, "You said all this just so we would satisfy your perverted desires?"

"You're wronging me," Fushimi Makoto protested.

Utaha scoffed, "Injustice?"

She suddenly took two steps back, leaned against the wall, raised her shapely and straight black-stockinged leg, gently kicked off her shoe, and wiggled her soft black-stockinged foot. "Are you sure you don't want to touch it?"

Then, she pointed her little foot at Yukino beside her. "You definitely want to touch Yukinoshita's feet too, right?"

Fushimi Makoto could speak, Yukino said with disdain, "Senpai, please put your shoes on properly."

"But Fushimi Woof really likes it," Utaha said with a sly smile.

"Is that so?"

Yukino suddenly sped up, flashed over, picked up Utaha's shoes, and under the other's astonished gaze, she turned and left with the shoes in her hand.

Utaha was dumbfounded.

Then she heard Fushimi Makoto muttering beside her, "What a pity, Yukino beat me to it, someone picked up the lunchbox."

With a snap, Utaha threw Yukino's shoe at her.

Fushimi Makoto caught the shoes and smiled at the stunned Utaha, "You're welcome. I got your shoes back for you."
