[Storm Girl Hina Amano and Cyclops Yuzaki Hoshizora walked to a place where many cars were parked. Suddenly, Storm Girl Hina Amano looked at Cyclops Yuzaki Hoshizora, who had stopped, and asked her curiously.]
"What's wrong? Why did you stop?"
"My motorcycle is gone."
[Cyclops Yuzaki pointed to an empty space and said, "My motorcycle is gone, but I don't remember anyone borrowing it."]
On the other side, Wolverine, Ryujiro, was speeding westward towards the train station on a motorcycle he had 'borrowed' from Cyclops, Hoshizora.
"It's highly likely that someone used the excuse of going out for a walk to sneak out and go find that little rascal, Tsurumi Rumi."
Natsuki Subaru looked at the laser-eyed Yuzaki Hoshizora on the screen, who looked puzzled and didn't know where his motorcycle was going, and said.
He'd seen this kind of plot countless times; there were many similar scenes in novels, anime, and movies.
The protagonist said he was just going out for a walk to clear his head, but then he turned around and went outside.
--------
"He's quite responsible."
Hachiman Hikigaya looked at the screen and saw the Wolverine, Juryujiro, who was "borrowing" Cyclops's motorcycle to find the mischievous Rumi Tsurumi.
Hachiman Hikigaya still has a deep impression of the mischievous Rumi Tsurumi, which may be related to his past experiences.
--------
"They 'borrowed' my motorcycle like this? They should at least have said something."
Cyclops Yuzaki Hoshizora herself looked at the screen and saw her motorcycle being "borrowed" by Wolverine Juryujiro, and said helplessly.
If it were him, and his wife, Yuzaki Tsukasa, were kidnapped by the enemy, he would go even if it was an open conspiracy.
[While riding his motorcycle, Wolverine, Ryujiro, suddenly noticed a strange button on the handlebars. He'd never seen such a design on a motorcycle handlebars before, despite riding for so long.]
Looking at the button on the motorcycle handlebars—an arrow pointing upwards—Wolverine guessed it was like the nitro boost button in a racing game.
Thinking this, Wolverine, Ryujiro, pressed the button without hesitation. Instantly, the motorcycle broke through the speed limit of ordinary motorcycles, "flying" forward at a terrifying speed.
[Wolverine, Ryujiro, also felt his face twitching from the wind.]
The terrifying speed left Wolverine, Ryujiro, a black afterimage on the highway; only the deafening engine roar and the whirring of the motorcycle told others that what had just "flew" past was a motorcycle.
Takumi Fujiwara watched as Wolverine, Ryujiro, pressed a button on the screen, causing his motorcycle to break the normal speed limit.
Looking at the way it was accelerating, Takumi Fujiwara couldn't help but imagine how exhilarating and exciting it would be to put this thing on a race car and make it "fly" like this.
Meanwhile, the mischievous Tsurumi Rumi had already boarded the train, sitting alone by the window, watching a mother and a little boy in the seat next to her.
A hint of envy flashed in Tsurumi Rumi's eyes, then she turned away from the scene that she envied.
"Hey, you little rascal."
Just as the mischievous Tsurumi Rumi was leaning against the window, looking a little emo, a deep male voice sounded behind her. Tsurumi Rumi turned around and saw it was Wolverine, Juryujiro.
[Wolverine, Ryujiro, sat down in an empty seat next to the mischievous Rumi Tsurumi.]
[Little Tsurumi Rumi had no idea why Wolverine, Juryujiro, had come looking for her, nor how he had found her, since she had walked away quietly all by herself and no one should have noticed.]
After a moment of silence, Wolverine's Ryujiro broke the silence by speaking first.
"I'm very sorry about what happened last night."
【"Me too."】
[The mischievous Tsurumi Rumi looked at Wolverine, Juryujiro, and said.]
"Are you planning to become a homeless person again?"
[Wolverine, Ryujiro, said, "After all, when he first met Rumi Tsurumi, she was already a wanderer."]
"Hmm... I heard Professor X is very angry because of what happened last night."
[The mischievous Tsurumi Rumi remembered what (the fake) Ice Man Amano Nagi had said and said...]
"Who said that?"
[Wolverine, Shujiro, said in a somewhat unfriendly tone. He disliked people who spread rumors so easily; after all, spreading rumors is easy, but doing so afterwards is incredibly difficult.]
Those who spread rumors face no consequences, while those who are falsely accused must expend considerable effort to prove their innocence. Even after being proven innocent, the lingering impression of the rumor can still remain.
Therefore, Wolverine (Shu Ryujiro) really dislikes people who spread rumors based on nothing.
"A male classmate."
[The mischievous Tsurumi Rumi naturally knew the name of (fake) Ice Man Amano Nagi, but she didn't say it aloud, simply referring to him as a male classmate.]
Meanwhile, the (true) ice queen, Amano Nagi, was still wondering where the mischievous Tsurumi Rumi had gone.
"Where's the little rascal?"
[A male classmate standing nearby asked the ice-cold Amano Nagi a question.]
"I don't know, it must be some sudden emergency. After all, not being able to get any information means it must be very urgent."
[After thinking for a moment, Amano Nagi said.]
This considerate demeanor is completely different from the (fake) ice-man's when he was sowing discord.
Just after the (real) Ice Man Amano Nagi and several classmates walked past, the (fake) Ice Man Amano Nagi emerged from another room, and the real and fake Ice Man Amano Nagi passed each other by.
"Phew, I knew it, that wasn't the real me."
Looking at the content on the screen from outside the screen, Amano Nagi said that he was initially shocked to see himself saying those things to the mischievous Tsurumi Rumi.
Seeing this, Amano Nagi was relieved, realizing it wasn't her after all.
"Look around and see, I'll go ask the ticket seller."
[After Storm Girl Hina Amano and Cyclops Yuzaki Hoshizora arrived at the train station, Storm Girl Hina Amano said to Cyclops Yuzaki Hoshizora.]
[After confirming that no one was around, (fake) Ice Man Amano Nagi slipped to the front of the search room, and then Mystic Girlfriend Rina slowly bent down so that the examination equipment could be pointed at her eyes.]
[During the scanning process, Mystique's Girlfriend Rina transformed her eyes to resemble Professor X's Hayato Otosaka, making it impossible for the scanning equipment to recognize her.]
"Welcome, Professor X."
The search room door slowly opened, and Mystic Girlfriend Rina stood up and walked into the room. She then expertly went to the equipment, fiddled with it for a few moments, and flipped a switch.
[Then, Mystic Girlfriend Rina took out a vial of dark green liquid, connected it to the white tube inside the switch, and quickly left the search room.]
"Do you think that Iron Man Zhuge Cong's artificial intelligence is, in some way, also the artificial intelligence of Mystique's girlfriend Rina?"
"After all, artificial intelligence is also based on voice, fingerprint and other recognition methods."
L looked at the Mystic Girlfriend Rina in the light screen and said that she passed the retinal examination without any difficulty through transformation.
"Mr. L means..."
Gordon had also thought of this, and looked at L with some shock as he spoke.
"That's right, Mystique's Rina may have used Zhuge Cong's artificial intelligence quite a bit."
"Do you want me to go back?"
[The mischievous Tsurumi Rumi looked at Wolverine, Juryujiro, and said.]
"It's up to you; I won't force you."
[The mischievous Tsurumi, upon hearing Wolverine's answer, didn't say whether she would go back or not, but instead spoke up.]
"My family members were accidentally injured by the mutant ability I awakened, and were seriously injured and hospitalized. That scene is still vivid in my mind."
"And now it's happening to you."
[The mischievous Tsurumi Rumi choked up as she spoke, deeply saddened by the hurt she had caused her loved ones, and now, thinking about it again, she couldn't hold back her tears.]
[Wolverine, Juryujiro, seeing the choked-up Tsurumi Rumi, reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, then leaned her against his shoulder and spoke.]
"Few people can truly understand how you feel, but Professor X is different. He genuinely wants to help you, which is rare. He cares about people like us."
"Don't easily believe what someone says; it will indirectly hurt the person who truly cares about you."
[Hearing Wolverine's words, the mischievous Tsurumi Rumi slowly sat up, then suddenly jolted, realizing the train had started moving.]
"So what do you think? Should we give them another chance? I'll take good care of you."
[Wolverine, Juryujiro, looked at the mischievous Tsurumi Rumi and said.]
"Do you promise?"
"Yes, I promise."
"Now I know why some people like older men; who wouldn't like an older man like that!"
"Indeed, this is a good way to comfort people. He'll come directly to you when you're feeling down. Who wouldn't like a powerful older man like that?"
"Wake up, such uncles are a minority. Most of them have beer bellies and are overweight. You won't encounter an uncle like Wolverine's Ryujiro in the light screen."
"Everyone is fine, except for those upstairs."
--------
"Is this the subtle way to woo a girl, striking when she's feeling down?"
