Chapter 429

Yukino had no rebuttal.

It was rare for Utaha to manage to leave Yukino speechless, but instead of pressing her advantage, she asked curiously, "Do you know what he's doing right now?"

"If you want to know, you can go to his house and use the Anywhere Door; you have a key to his house anyway."

"As if you didn't do it? I know you're the first girl to get a key to his house," Utaha said with a smile, her displeasure undisguised.

Yukino, too lazy to pay attention to the other person, casually said, "My mother and Aunt Sayuri recently started an agency, and if nothing unexpected happens, they want to sign Ichika."

"No wonder Fushimi was called over at the last minute," Utaha realized.

The two sat in the shop for a while, Utaha suggested, "How about we go for a walk? Or check out the bookstores nearby. It's making me feel weird to be stared at like this."

"Okay." Yukino readily accepted.

She also didn't like being stared at by people trying to flirt with her here.

On the way to the bookstore, Utaha suddenly chuckled, looking somewhat smug. "I've already learned the technique you used to cut tree branches with stones last time."

"Really? Senior has improved quite quickly, but unfortunately, you're still not as good as me." Yukino smiled casually.

Utaha's smile remained unchanged as she stared at that perfect face, "I'll surpass you sooner or later."

"Only someone like you, senior, would enjoy doing pointless work."

"Heh, it's still uncertain who will win and who will lose."

The two were exchanging blows as usual when a commotion suddenly erupted ahead. A young man with dyed blond hair was seen running frantically, followed by a uniformed policeman who was shouting, "Don't run, you thief!"

Upon seeing this, Utaha immediately pulled a glass bead from her skirt pocket.

Yukino raised an eyebrow slightly. "You actually carry this with you all the time. It seems you really want to prove your progress to me."

"You're overthinking it. My progress doesn't need to prove anything to anyone."

As Utaha finished speaking, her slender fingers subtly flicked the glass bead, which slicing through the air like a sharp sword before striking the blond man's knee with pinpoint accuracy.

"Ah!"

The blond man screamed and, caught off guard, fell to the ground, rolling twice before coming to a stop.

Seeing that he was about to be caught by the police, he struggled to get up, only to find that his right leg seemed to be broken.

He simply endured the pain and pulled a folding knife from his pocket, seemingly having completely lost his mind.

"Foolish," Yukino commented.

Utaha nodded, and just as she was about to say something, she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and then laughed, "That guy's in trouble."

"Don't come any closer! I'm warning you, don't come any closer, or I'll... uh? Where's my knife?"

The blond man was wildly waving his folding knife, trying to scare the police away, but as he swung it, he suddenly felt his vision Ichika and the knife was gone.

When he looked up in surprise, he saw a tall figure appear beside him, holding his knife in his hand.

There was also a girl wearing a baseball cap and a mask next to her. Although only her eyes were visible, you could still tell that she must be very pretty.

"Knives are too dangerous, let's put them away for now," Fushimi Makoto said, handing the knife to the equally stunned policeman.

"Damn it, do you want to die?" The blond man snapped out of his daze and tried to get up with a ferocious expression.

But he had only gotten halfway up when Fushimi Makoto pressed his forehead down and pushed him back down.

"If your leg is broken, just sit still and don't stand up." Fushimi Makoto's seemingly effortless reach pressed the other person firmly to the ground, rendering them unable to move.

Immediately, Fushimi Makoto turned to Yukino and Utaha, waving and saying, "Sorry, I'm late."

"It's not you, it's all of you." Utaha looked at the graceful figure beside him.

Even without showing her face, she and Yukino could recognize that the person was Nakano Ichika.

Having easily dealt with the thief, Fushimi Makoto and Nakano Ichika also went over, and the four of them left together.

"Senior, have you thought about the ending of your script?" Nakano Ichika tugged at her mask, feeling a little stuffy.

"Not yet." Utaha said, a troubled look appearing on her somewhat alluring face.

She only realized how tricky this was after writing her first script.

No wonder news reports often mention directors spending years developing a complete script, with revisions alone taking a considerable amount of time.

"Every story has to have an ending; you need to work harder," Yukino reminded her.

Just as Utaha was about to retort as usual, she suddenly remembered something and said with a subtle smile, "I can handle the ending of the script, but what about our future, Yukinoshita? Do you know?"

Yukino paused, glancing at the person carrying the bags. "I don't know either, but this kind of question should be left to Fushimi Woof to answer."

Nakano Ichika, always eager for drama, chimed in with a grin, "That's right, Makoto, have you thought it through?"

Fushimi Makoto looked at the passenger plane flying overhead and smiled, "You guys in the future should also be able to fly."

"Huh?" The three girls were stunned.

Fushimi Makoto lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, while you were still frantically competing, I was already able to fly on air."

"Really?" Yukino the first to express disbelief.

Utaha and Nakano Ichika also looked doubtful.

Fushimi Makoto didn't say anything, but put his arm around one of the girls and squatted down in front of Nakano Ichika: "Hurry up and get on, before Yukino reacts."

Yukino gave him a familiar elbow strike, clearly annoyed.

Nakano Ichika laughed and climbed onto Fushimi Makoto's back, he was carrying three girls, step by step, as if stepping on invisible stairs, until he finally stopped completely in mid-air.

The girls were completely dumbfounded.

This was a power they had never seen before.

At this moment, Utaha's expression changed; there were quite a few people watching!

She wasn't worried about being exposed; she and Yukino were tightly Fushimi Makoto's arms, their skirts were completely covered, so there was no way they could be exposed.

Needless to say, Nakano Ichika is a big celebrity now. She always wraps herself up like a dumpling when she goes out, so that she can hardly breathe, let alone expose herself.

Utaha quickly glanced around and saw many passersby looking like they'd seen a ghost. She hurriedly warned, "Fushimi, you're going to cause trouble!"

Unexpectedly, Yukino, on the other side, hugged Fushimi Makoto's neck tightly, suppressing a laugh, and said, "Today is the Time Loop, Senpai."

"Um?"

Utaha was taken aback, then turned to look at Nakano Ichika, who was also laughing, and said angrily, "Damn it, you guys didn't even tell me!"

"Sorry, I forgot. Now you need to hold on tight to me, I need to speed up!" Fushimi Makoto said, and quickly ran away in the sky.

"Wait, don't run so fast!"

"Yukinoshita, you're panicking? Oh, so you're afraid of heights? Fushimi Woof, I order you to run faster!"

"This is the first time I've heard about this either. Yukinoshita, look this way, I'll take a nice picture of you."

"Nakano Ichika!"

Yukino clung to Fushimi Makoto's neck, feeling the sharp wind whistling past her ears; she didn't dare look down at all.

She didn't have a fear of heights; it was just that it was the first time she had stood in the sky without Bamboo-copter, and Fushimi Makoto was running so fast, like a wild Fushimi Woof, which made her heart race even faster.

Hearing Nakano Ichika's laughter and Utaha's mocking words, Yukino gritted her teeth and made up her mind to take them down with a grappling technique tonight.

The birds around them were Fushimi Makoto and his group and scattered in all directions. Passersby below excitedly or in shock took out their phones, but they could only capture some afterimages.

Regardless, this incident will definitely trend on social media tonight.

However, none of the four, Fushimi Makoto, cared about it.

The glow of the setting sun fell on their faces, as if guiding them forward, or perhaps following the four figures moving at high speed.

This concludes the main text; several bonus chapters will follow.

Extra 1 Big Star Nakano Ichika

"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Ichika."

In a bustling advertising film set, Nakano Ichika had just finished her day's shooting when the surrounding staff immediately approached her respectfully, bowing and smiling.

Her rise to prominence is not solely due to that one film, but also because the box office of her starring role in "The Last Mile" has remained consistently high this year, coupled with her consistently high level of public exposure. As a result, she now seems poised to challenge for the title of the leading actress of the new generation.

Besides this movie, she also had cameo roles in several TV dramas and was constantly getting advertising endorsements due to her immense popularity. Among her cameo appearances was Kamen Rider, a show that Fushimi Makoto really likes.

Therefore, she had a reason to add Kamen Rider to her home play activities...

Since the start of the new semester, she could have reduced the frequency of her visits to school, but she declined the agency's suggestion.

Because school is her favorite place, where she has her friends, her family, and the "golden touch" that helped her become a super popular new generation.

In that man's words, "If you want to make movies or TV series, I'll write the script for you. If you want to rest, just use the Anywhere Door to travel; that way, even if someone takes a picture of you, the reporters won't be able to swarm you immediately."

Thinking of that guy's various abilities and the sense of security he gave her, Nakano Ichika couldn't help but smile sweetly.

But this sweetness quickly turned into shyness, because yesterday she had gathered her sisters for a "team battle".

As a result, all five sisters, who had been making progress, were defeated.

On her way back to the lounge, Nakano Ichika overheard several young staff members huddled together, excitedly discussing a recent trending headline.

"That Superman from last time seems to have disappeared. The whole world is searching for him, but nobody knows where he went."

"He must have gone to a Western country, because he was speaking English to everyone from the sky that day, and his voice sounded so mature. He looked really handsome in that outfit."

"That's right, he spoke English the whole time, and some people online have analyzed that his accent suggests he's from somewhere else. I bet he's definitely left."

"..."

Listening to the staff's excited gossip, Nakano Ichika's expression remained unchanged, but she was secretly laughing to herself.

The "superman" these people were talking about was the boy she liked— Fushimi Makoto.

The cause of the matter was quite simple: Yukinoshita Family rose too quickly; she made many friends but also offended some people.

Nakano Ichika had heard Yukino talk about it; about half a month ago, Yukinoshita Family was being maliciously harassed and secretly sabotaged.

Originally, the strong-willed Mrs. Yukinoshita wanted to handle the matter herself, but after Fushimi Makoto found out about it, the girls were all puzzled as to how he managed to get the entire Sumiyoshi-kai, a well-known yakuza organization Sumiyoshi-kai Tokyo, to take the initiative.

Even though many members of the Sumiyoshi-kai, a yakuza organization, are old men, they were able to hunt down the group of enemies openly targeting the Yukinoshita Family for three days and three nights, wielding baseball bats and other weapons.

In the end, the incident became known throughout the country, and a large number of police officers were dispatched, which saved those people's lives.

Even so, those people were still seriously injured and all of them had to go to the hospital.

In a later interview, the Sumiyoshi-kai members said, "I don't know why I did it, but it's amazing to be able to experience the youthful passion and fighting again at over fifty years old!"

This largest violent incident was never properly investigated. No matter how the police interrogated the yakuza members, their answers were almost always the same, "I had a lot of fun fighting, that's all I know."

Some suspect that their memories are either confused or lost.

In short, this whole affair is shrouded in mystery.

The matter with the Yukinoshita Family should have ended there, but those seriously injured and hospitalized couldn't swallow their anger. They didn't dare to openly fight the crazed yakuza members, so they transferred their hatred to the Yukinoshita Family.

It was on this occasion that Fushimi Makoto, dressed in a black battle robe, completely covered up, asked the girls before setting off, "What do you think of this look as 'Black Robe'?"

The girls didn't understand what he meant at all.

That very night, the remaining members of the Sumiyoshi-kai set out again, Fushimi Makoto, under the watchful eyes of countless passersby and reporters, stood on thin air, overlooking the hospital.

Once all the Yukinoshita Family's enemies had been dragged out by the yakuza members, Fushimi Makoto, in front of everyone, flicked one 100-yen coin after another, severely injuring and rendering them unconscious, their brains severely damaged, turning them into complete vegetable states.

The entire Tokyo was in an uproar. Everyone was frantically taking pictures, filling up their phone's memory.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Fushimi Makoto descended from the sky. As he passed a noodle shop, the trembling owner asked ingratiatingly, "Sir, would you like some noodles? They're free, all free."

Then Fushimi Makoto glanced at the sign outside the shop advertising beef noodles as the specialty, shook his head, and said in a low voice in English, "I don't eat beef."

Then, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

It vanished in an instant; none of the cameras captured any trace of its disappearance.

Only Nakano Ichika and the others knew that Fushimi Makoto's ability had long since evolved from [Godspeed] to [Teleportation].

That's why it's impossible to find him using either surveillance cameras or cell phone cameras.

As for his ability to flick coins, girls, including Nakano Ichika, can actually do it, just not as exaggeratedly as he can.

Because the girls needed to aim, while Fushimi Makoto had a 100% accuracy rate.

Back in her private dressing room, Nakano Ichika sat in front of the mirror, letting the makeup artist remove her makeup.
