Omniverse Time Loop, I Do Whatever I Want 48

You don't have them.

And you aren't allowed to have them.

Nakano Ichika pursed her lips and fell silent.

Nakano Nino continued in a relaxed tone, "I'll drop by your club when I have time. The schedule he made today actually piqued my interest."

Very well.

Nino was no longer safe.

Nakano Ichika was now completely on guard.

That evening, Fushimi Makoto paid a visit to Matsukaze Mayu's home.

He had originally intended to just chat with the beautiful teacher and watch some television together.

But as they watched, he recalled the emotions Nakano Ichika had stirred up in him earlier, and his mood began to shift.

Matsukaze Mayu had been in contact with him for a while now, and since they had even bathed together, she knew all too well how attractive her body was to Fushimi Makoto.

Thus, when their gazes met by chance, they both understood what the other was thinking.

Before Fushimi Makoto could even speak, Matsukaze Mayu blushed, her eyes filled with a mix of shyness and allure, and she slowly raised her hands to pull her hair back.

This gesture was no longer a hint.

It was a clear invitation.

So, when Yukino sent a "good night" message, Fushimi Makoto didn't even have time to reply.

Saturday arrived.

Fushimi Makoto was at home preparing for the afternoon's club activities when Kasumigaoka Utaha and Yumiko called him one after another.

Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted to meet up, claiming she had serious business to discuss.

Yumiko wanted to go take photos, saying she had found a great spot for social media check-ins.

Fushimi Makoto did not possess the Clone Technique, so he couldn't attend both meetings at once.

He decided to kill two birds with one stone!

At 9:30 in the morning, he met Kasumigaoka Utaha at a dessert shop.

The black-stockinged upperclassman was dressed in her usual attire, but as a beauty herself, she didn't need any special styling; her school uniform paired with black pantyhose was enough to accentuate her wonderful figure.

As Fushimi Makoto took his seat, he noticed quite a few male customers in the shop letting out sighs.

"Upperclassman, your charm is truly immense."

Fushimi Makoto picked up the menu and remarked with genuine feeling.

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled, "Thank you for the compliment."

She had long noticed the male customers stealing glances at her, but she was used to such gazes and didn't take them to heart at all.

"You order first, my treat today," she said.

Fushimi Makoto knew she wanted to ask for his advice again, so he didn't stand on ceremony.

After ordering drinks and snacks, he asked, "What is the purpose of you asking me out, upperclassman?"

"There are two things."

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't seem to want to drag things out. Her voluptuous body leaned forward slightly, bringing her beautiful face closer. "First, a classmate told me there are rumors about us at school recently, and I suspect these rumors will only intensify over time."

Fushimi Makoto nodded, "I've heard Hayato mention this."

"Hayato Hayama from the first year?" Kasumigaoka Utaha clearly knew who he was. She continued, "I called you out here because I wanted to discuss how to put an end to these unreliable rumors."

"Put an end to them?" Fushimi Makoto found the phrasing novel.

Kasumigaoka Utaha gave a faint smile, "I don't like this sort of thing, especially since we are friends. I still have many things I want to consult you about in the future, so I don't want these trivial matters to affect our interactions."

"Then you shouldn't call it putting an end to them, but rather letting them spread further," Fushimi Makoto suggested.

"Why?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked taken aback.

It must be said, seeing such a small expression on her face had a unique, alluring quality.

Fushimi Makoto admired her charming appearance and said, "The best way to deal with rumors is to create a new one that people care about even more. If you try to nip it in the bud, it will only cause a backlash, and people will become even more curious and eager to pry."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked thoughtful, "That makes sense. But if we do that, we need to find something worth everyone's attention."

Fushimi Makoto extended his index finger and smiled, looking exactly like a certain meme: "I have a plan."

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow, "Tell me more."

Chapter 49: He Wants to Check Her Educational Background

Fushimi Makoto didn't really care about these kinds of rumors himself; after all, he was determined to conquer beautiful girls, and there would certainly be no shortage of gossip in the future.

But since Kasumigaoka Utaha had specifically brought it up today, he could just as well provide a solution while he was at it.

Back during a time loop, he had accidentally discovered that the principal had participated in a Kanto region marathon in his youth, and his results were actually quite decent.

Because of this, Fushimi Makoto had once chatted with the principal about this topic, and he realized that the man actually wanted to show off to others, but couldn't bring himself to be the one to bring it up.

Now that so much time had passed, no one would ever mention those days that the principal was so proud of.

The new rumor Fushimi Makoto had thought of was exactly this.

After hearing this, Utaha revealed a look of surprise: "So the principal actually had such an impressive time in his life? I've never heard anyone mention it at all."

Fushimi Makoto laughed: "The principal is at such an advanced age, and he has to deal with so many students every day. Unless he can set aside his pride, he can only wait for others to bring it up."

Utaha understood immediately: "A tsundere? Interesting."

She continued: "But do you think relying on this topic to divert everyone's attention is enough?"

"That's why we need to manipulate it a bit. The principal's own results aren't truly dazzling, but we can intentionally blur that detail when spreading the news. I checked online, and among the runners who competed with the principal back then, there were indeed quite a few who went on to become champions."

Fushimi Makoto provided the answer.

Utaha was quite clever and quickly followed up: "That makes sense. As long as everyone's curiosity is piqued, we can mention those champion runners while spreading the news, which would indirectly prove the significance of the principal's race."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to think of something and mused: "By the way, do you think it's possible for us to get some self-media involved? A topic that can appear in short videos versus one that only circulates within the school—those are two completely different scales."

Fushimi Makoto gave a thumbs up: "As expected of my senior, you actually guessed my follow-up plan."

Utaha couldn't help but smile: "I just happened to think of it."

Immediately, she stared at Fushimi Makoto's face and asked, as if casually: "You should be very good at this sort of thing, right?"

"No, I just thought of it suddenly."

"Is that so?"

Thought of it suddenly?

If you hadn't had similar experiences in the past, or if you weren't frequently involved in these kinds of things, how could you possibly have "thought of it suddenly"?

Although Utaha didn't believe Fushimi Makoto's explanation, she was tactful enough not to press the issue.

From the affinity he displayed, to the sense of harmony that made it feel like they had known each other for years, to the fact that she had gained so much from him.

Utaha had to admit to herself that her interest in Fushimi Makoto was extremely high.

In some ways, she was similar to Yukino.

But the difference was that Yukino had realized early on that Fushimi Makoto was a playboy, and because so many beautiful girls gathered around him, she had said: "Only a fool would date you."

But Utaha didn't care about that right now.

She wanted to improve.

To improve significantly.

Especially since she had discovered a boy who was incredibly compatible with her, and one who could help her keep improving, she was even less willing to let go.

Possessiveness isn't always used to describe romantic relationships; friends can be possessive of each other too.

With the first matter settled, the second thing Utaha wanted to discuss was much simpler.

"I've encountered some problems recently, and if you're available, I'd like to ask for your advice."

As Utaha spoke, a charming smile bloomed on her face: "Of course, you can name your price for the reward. As long as it's something I can do, I will agree to it."

Clearly, she also understood that constant taking without giving was not sustainable.

"Let's talk about the reward later."

Fushimi Makoto said he didn't care, but in his heart, he was thinking: I'm very interested in your black-stockinged legs.

But now was not the time.

He picked up his phone and checked the time; Yumiko should be sending a message soon.

He had arranged to meet Yumiko when he left earlier, and she had mentioned she needed to shower first.

A girl who specifically showers and dresses up before seeing a boy—this is what they call: a woman adorns herself for the one she loves.

Fushimi Makoto wanted to claim Yumiko's reward, and today was the perfect opportunity.

If Yumiko's little queen-like personality went up against the sharp and powerful Utaha, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.

When that time came, Fushimi Makoto could step in and play the role of Captain Dragonfly.

"Do you have something else to do today?"

Utaha was sharp and noticed Fushimi Makoto checking the time.

"Actually, it's not just you who asked to see me today; someone else invited me to take photos," Fushimi Makoto said.

Utaha tapped her fair, delicate chin: "I see. Has another girl been captivated by your photography skills?"

"Captivated?" Fushimi Makoto feigned confusion at the right moment.

Utaha said calmly: "Although I don't have many acquaintances in school, I know that girls at this age love taking photos. Even if they don't share them on social media, they take selfies in private or check in at scenic spots."

"That is true." Fushimi Makoto nodded.

Utaha suddenly smiled playfully: "I haven't seen your photography skills, but the reaction from Ichika and the others that day was quite something. I bet your level must be very high."

Fushimi Makoto asked deliberately, "Would you like to try, senpai?"

"No thanks."

Utaha refused without hesitation, her smile remaining unchanged. "I have no interest in such things, and besides, I've long since passed the stage of being obsessed with pretty photos."

Fushimi Makoto said as if regretful, "That's a real pity."

"A pity?"

Utaha stared into his eyes, her playful smirk deepening. "Could it be that you've wanted to take photos of me for a long time?"

How could just taking photos be enough?

What I really want to do is check your academic credentials.

Fushimi Makoto gave a generic, all-purpose answer: "I should say, senpai, that your appearance is perfectly suited for taking beautiful photos."

"Thank you."

Utaha thanked him first, casually tucking a strand of hair that had fallen by her ear.

This gesture made her look somewhat alluring.

"If you want me to be your temporary model, then I am willing. After all, you've been helping me, and I haven't given anything in return," she said.

"So, senpai, you mean an exchange?"

"I'd prefer to call it compensation, but there's no problem if you want to interpret it that way."

"Then forget it."

To Utaha's surprise, Fushimi Makoto refused immediately.

She couldn't help but ask in astonishment, "Forget it?"

Fushimi Makoto said with a serious expression, "Photography has never been a joke to me. Whether I'm taking photos of Ichika and the others, or taking photos of anyone else, I always give it my best effort. You could also put it this way: this is the one thing I refuse to do half-heartedly."
