The all-powerful middle schooler

"I've never been this focused before."

The girls were completely immersed in the joy of learning.

Soon, an hour had passed.

Next up is a test of exercises.

During this period, Izumi Hasegawa had assigned topics based on each person's strengths, all of which were within the scope of the girls' studies.

Even so, it's not that simple. Improving concentration can indeed greatly enhance a person's learning ability, but the five sisters have very poor basic skills, and it will take them some time to figure things out and think before they can complete it.

Normally, they wouldn't have this patience, but under hypnosis, they experience a constant sense of accomplishment and pleasure.

A major reason why many people can't stick to something is that they don't feel they are making progress, which leads to boredom. But if you have a dashboard that allows you to monitor your learning progress at any time, that's a completely different story.

It was getting closer to noon.

Hasegawa Izumi glanced at the time and said, "Alright, that's all my help for now. The rest of the journey is up to you."

The girls gradually snapped out of their study mode.

"This hypnosis is quite effective, Hasegawa-kun, you've really been a great help."

Nakano Ichika first expressed her gratitude, then teased, "But, if Hasegawa-kun were to do something naughty to us, would we fall for it too?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, Ichika! Hasegawa-san is not that kind of person! Besides, with Hasegawa-san's charm, she doesn't need to at all."

Nakano Nino put one hand on her hip and pointed at someone with the other.

"Just kidding, just kidding! Don't get so worked up."

Nakano Ichika smiled and immediately waved her hands.

"Although I don't understand the underlying principles, this hypnosis probably just increased our interest in learning, right?"

"It's Satsuki Nakano," he suddenly said.

"It feels so fun! It's like participating in a track and field competition."

Yotsuba Nakano looked excited.

"If we can maintain this level of performance, I feel like we should have no problem passing. All of this is thanks to Hasegawa-kun's changes."

Miku Nakano's eyes were filled with emotion, a tender and affectionate look.

"At least stay for lunch, Hasegawa-san. If you just leave like this, it will make the Nakano family seem like they have no hospitality at all."

Nakano Ichika continued.

"this."

He hesitated.

After all, he wasn't planning to stay today, so he didn't prepare a lunchbox for his sister.

If Little Dove starts making a fuss, it'll be troublesome.

"Please! Hasegawa-san! At least let us repay this debt of gratitude."

As a result, when the girls were so enthusiastic that they tried to persuade him to stay, he chose to stay, accepted their kindness, and took a moment to call his sister.

"Kukuku, my other half, go forth! Even without your offerings, I have backup provisions..."

Kobato's answer was unexpected.

He originally thought that Xiao Jiu would cry and call him "brother," but he didn't expect her to be so understanding.

Is my sister showing him how much she's grown up?

After putting her phone away, Izumi Hasegawa went to check on the kitchen.

A girl wearing sportswear and an apron is diligently finishing her lunch.

Judging from the hair ornaments on the back, it is Nino.

She looks like she's the head chef in the family.

Half an hour later, the table was laden with a sumptuous feast. It was truly abundant.

"Ninja has used up all his life's skills."

One of the sisters made a couple of comments.

"Hasegawa-kun, try it and see if it suits your taste. If not, I'll make it again."

Ignoring everything else, Nakano Nino looked at him eagerly.

Hasegawa Izumi took a small sip of the miso soup, then ate a bite of the fried pork cutlet, and thought for a moment before saying, "The taste is not bad."

In terms of culinary skills, it's about the same level as some ordinary restaurants, but the heart and soul put into it are much more precious, which is why he gave it such a high evaluation.

"If you like it, then I'm satisfied."

Nino Nakano was overjoyed.

"All I could smell was a sour, stinky odor emanating from someone."

"Hmph, this is what love feels like."

"Is Nino already obsessed?!"

"Could you please tone it down a bit? There are still people here."

The women also offered their sharp comments.

After that, Izumi Hasegawa left.

"Hey, you guys just don't understand! It's such a rare thing to meet someone who makes your heart flutter! I've had a crush on Hasegawa-kun for so long, and it's only recently that I've had the chance to get close to him, so don't get in my way!"

Turning around, Nino Nakano's expression hardened, her eyes turning slightly cold as she shook her head at them.

The Nakano Four Sisters: ......

Such a strong possessiveness!

But Nakano Miku didn't give her that face, instead saying, "Nino, you're overestimating yourself."

October 10th.

Far East Magic Society.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, and the people inside were each reading a novel.

If you didn't know better, you'd think this was some kind of literature club or light novel club.

After reading all three volumes so far, even Natsukawa Masuzu had to admit that this romance novel had its unique aspects, and its descriptions of love were captivating.

Even if she didn't want to admit it, some of her emotions did indeed fluctuate greatly while reading.

"Ms. Xia Shizi has definitely never been in a relationship."

Dansheng Valley Mori Natsu slowly closed the book.

"why?"

How do you know it's death?!

Rikka Kotori and Sanae Dekomori expressed their doubts.

"Isn't it obvious? This is too sweet. It's just a fantasy to satisfy one's own desires. If you've ever been in a relationship, you would never feel this way."

"Indeed, only a virgin could write a novel like this."

Dansheng Valley's lament drew a sneer from the silver-haired witch.

"You imposter, talking like it's the truth. Have you ever died in a relationship?"

Sanae Tokomori's eyes were narrowed to the size of bullets.

"none of your business."

Dansheng Gusenxia sneered.

Swish.

In a flash, Sanae Tokomori appeared behind her with lightning speed, preparing to unleash her restraining martial arts.

However, Nibutani Morinaka had anticipated this, and with a flick of her finger, she unleashed the fourth binding technique without incantation—

"This rope"

The spiritual energy transformed into a rope-like light cord, quickly passing behind him and coiling around Tu Shou's hands like a snake.

"Zi..."

Confined by her physical limitations, Sanae Tokomori was about to burst forth and break free, and a flash of lightning was about to appear.

"stop."

A voice, as clear as a decree, rang out.

The two girls immediately realized something, and their spiritual energy dissipated instantly.

"I'm sorry, Sage! This guy is the one who angered me to death!"

"If this idiot hadn't attacked first, I wouldn't have even thought of retaliating."

They pointed at each other.

"If you like combat training, that's fine too. However, this is our base. If it gets damaged, it will be very troublesome to repair."

Hasegawa Izumi said with a stern face.

"Yes."

The two girls bowed their heads and promised that they would not use their powerful offensive abilities in such places in the future.

"Two idiots."

Natsukawa Masuzu smiled brightly, then, remembering something, turned and asked, "Captain, isn't it Kobato's birthday in a few days? What kind of gift does Kobato like?"

"How did you know Kobato's birthday? I don't remember mentioning it."

Hanase Izumi let out a soft "Eh".

"Hmph, of course it was Kobato who told me."

The silver-haired witch said with no small amount of pride.

With her abilities, she might not be able to fool the minister, but she could easily seduce his sister and get her done in no time.

She managed to extract quite a bit of information from Kojima!

She knew exactly what the minister liked, in particular.

"I see."

He nodded.

He remained calm, but the other girls started making a ruckus.

"What? Kobato's birthday is coming up?"

"Natsukawa, you're doing this kind of thing secretly?"

"After all, she is the Sage's sister, so Dekomori feels it is necessary to take her seriously."

Celebrating Kojima's birthday suddenly turned into a team-building activity.

This is also a little secret of Natsukawa Masuzu's desire not to be rejected.

"Well, it'll be more lively with more people."

After considering it, Hasegawa Izumi, who wasn't particularly interested in birthdays, agreed and discussed with them how to celebrate Kobato's birthday.

10 month 18 day.

As dusk fell, a full moon gradually rose.

"Gasang, I'm going to the spring."

"Go ahead, go ahead, and it's best if you don't come back tonight."

"What do you take your daughter for?!"

Eriri bids farewell to her mother and heads down Detective Slope, holding in her hand the doll she had drawn that most closely resembled the character Kobato was cosplaying.

"Ding dong."
