This demon is highly suspicious.

It seems like the benefits and treatment in all aspects are quite good.

Moreover, it is said that wishes made at this shrine are particularly effective, and most of them come true.

For various reasons, I decided to apply for a job at that shrine.

It doesn't matter if we fail.

Anyway, she wasn't short of money doing part-time work; she was more interested in it.

Before coming to this shrine, Nozomi Tojo had already prepared herself for the possibility of having competitors.

After all, this shrine offers good benefits, so it's normal for other girls to be interested in it.

Tojo Nozomi had anticipated this before she arrived.

As expected, there were quite a few girls there when we arrived.

But what Tojo Nozomi didn't expect was that her rival was a boy?

Looking at the handsome young man with black hair, red eyes, and a serious expression in front of him, Tojo Nozomi fell silent.

Are you sure you're not in the wrong place but are just putting on an awkward act like you came here?

"Your gaze seems rather rude, sister."

The black-haired, red-eyed boy seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around to look at Tojo Nozomi.

'Are you that perceptive?'

'Seriously, what's with that sister?!'

Nozomi Tojo felt like she had a lot to complain about, but she didn't know where to begin.

For example, what kind of mentality would a grown man like you have to apply for a part-time job as a shrine maiden?

Could it be a hobby of cross-dressing?

"I don't have that kind of special hobby."

Mind reading?

Tojo Nozomi was startled and looked at Rorschach with a look of disbelief.

"How could that be? I would never use mind reading, such a low-level... such an unscientific thing."

Luo Xia waved his hand dismissively.

I have a feeling you just used some really powerful words.

Her gaze was somewhat unfocused, and Nozomi Tojo wondered if she had been led astray.

I was wondering at first why this guy would apply to be a shrine maiden.

"Actually, I am a transgender person."

With his arms crossed, Luo Xia said confidently:

"Although I look like a devastatingly handsome guy who has captivated countless girls."

"But actually, I'm a gentle, lovely, kind, generous, understanding, and sentimental young woman inside."

"I'm actually quite troubled by this myself."

"After all, some cute girls always confess their feelings to me, which is really a headache."

You're just praising yourself, aren't you?

Are you serious about saying that?

You, you, you!!

You even said you can't read minds!

Wasn't that perfectly clear?!

Tojo Nozomi's urge to make sarcastic remarks intensified.

But I still don't know how to complain.

Is there something off about this guy?

"what happened?"

With a tilt of his head, Rorschach gave a puzzled look:

"Don't I look like one of those effeminate guys on TV?"

As he said this, Rorschach even made a delicate pinky gesture.

That's so incredibly similar to yours.

There are too many flaws; Nozomi Tojo is speechless.

Her pink little fists clenched and relaxed, relaxed and clenched again.

In the end, Nozomi Tojo didn't say anything and quietly sat down next to Rorschach.

Don't get me wrong, there are no empty seats around.

Otherwise, Nozomi Tojo wouldn't have chosen to sit next to this weirdo.

Indeed, in Tojo Nozomi's eyes, Rorschach already appeared to be a strange person.

That's not entirely wrong.

After all, Rorschach never considered himself a normal person.

When Rorschach was young, an angel with a black halo told him that Hell was full of abnormal people, and if he wanted to become their king, he had to be even more abnormal than them!

Young Rorschach memorized this sentence and took it as his motto.

By the way, the guy who used Jesus hair dye to create the angel halo was called Lucifer.

Now I'm a member of hell.

It is said that because he was too normal, he felt out of place in heaven.

In a fit of rage, he stormed into Jesus' room, stole all of Jesus' hair growth serum and hair dye, and rushed into hell.

(Jesus: ??? You stop right there!!)

Ahem, we've gotten a bit off-topic.

Returning our focus to the shrine, Tojo Nozomi is trying to strike up a conversation with Rorschach.

"This student........."

Call me sister.

"????"

Tojo Nozomi's expression depicts a subway, an elderly person, and a mobile phone.

What's wrong with your brain?

In response, Luo Xia stated that he is a person with professional ethics and integrity.

Since I'm now playing the role of a mentally challenged transgender person, I must play it well.

If Gabriel were here, she might say, 'Isn't your so-called "bad brain" just your true self?'

Probably so.

“This… sister.”

After struggling for a while, Tojo Nozomi spoke through gritted teeth.

She wouldn't want to say that if she could.

But looking at Luo Xia's serious face, she hesitated again.

Could it be that this seemingly mentally challenged person is actually a mentally challenged transgender individual?

So what exactly is a transgender person?

Why assume someone is mentally challenged?

..........

Nozomi Tojo said she didn't want to talk.

She was absolutely certain that this guy could read minds.

"I can't read minds, your thoughts are written all over your face, meow~"

Why add this strange verbal tic?

"To prove that I really am a cute girl at heart, da☆ze~"

Why was it changed again?

Is it possible to switch between these verbal tics at will?

"Don't worry about these details, MmQ. If you think too much, you'll get captured and toyed with by some old purple woman, Aru."

Nozomi Tojo, who had been silently repeating herself to herself the whole time, decided to give up thinking about it.

Should I not have come to this place?

Otherwise, I wouldn't have encountered this strange person.

Rorschach is a good example of how some people are just plain annoying to encounter.

His existence is meant to make you realize just how bizarre this world can be.

In silence, the shrine maiden interview finally began.

'Let's get started already, I really don't want to stay with this weirdo anymore.'

Letting out a long breath, Nozomi Tojo felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, it was just a chance encounter.

We won't see each other again.

Probably so.
