Chapter 174 174
"In that case, I will choose you as my guide!" Kirika smiled broadly and pointed at someone. That person was Tenku, and the students became noisy upon seeing that.
Kirika had checked the information from the students at Suisei High School and found that Tenku was a freshman in Class C. Therefore, she quickly discovered him among the hundreds of people on the school grounds.
Of course, the principal didn\'t provide detailed information about the students to Kirika for fear that it would be misused. Benjiro only gave the student\'s photo, name, and class, but that was enough for Kirika.
After reading the information, Kirika discovered an astonishing fact about Tenku. He awakens an F-rank Phantasmal Object and is called the weakest student at Suisei High School, but Kirika doesn\'t believe that.
People who could stop the ability of the Marionette Glove without using a Phantasmal Object couldn\'t be weak. This made Kirika even more curious about Tenku because she thought the boy had a secret that made him hide his strength.
When Kirika waits for an answer from Tenku, the students and visitors who idolize her get angry and don\'t accept it.
"You better not choose him as your guide, miss Kirika! It can damage your image as an idol!" A second-year student said in a loud voice.
"Yes, he\'s right. that student is the weakest in Suisei High School! You better find someone else! I nominate myself to be your guide!" Another student added. After that, everyone on the school grounds voiced their objections to Kirika.
"I\'m sorry, but I\'ve already made up my mind. I chose him as my guide." Kirika smiled and subtly rejected their objections. Even though she didn\'t care about them, she had to respond correctly. After all, those people were her fans.
"Please think again, miss Kirika!"
"That person will be a bad influence on you!"
The male students kept shouting and still couldn\'t accept Kirika\'s decision. Most of them were customers who had come to the maid cafe in Setsuka\'s class. They were jealous because Tenku\'s luck was so good. He was served directly by Setsuka and is now chosen by Kirika as a guide. This made them very furious; two were Akio and Satoru.
On the other hand, Setsuka\'s face sank when she saw Kirika suddenly designate Tenku as her guide. Her intuition as a woman told her that the girl didn\'t choose Tenku randomly but on purpose as if she had targeted him.
"Ooh, there seems to be a girl acting more aggressively than you. I don\'t know how Tenku got to know Kirika, but I feel that girl is dangerous." Kaede smiled and teased Setsuka.
She knows about the idol who came to Suisei High School to perform at their cultural festival. Kaede also heard that she was willing to be paid half the price on one condition. Even though Kirika\'s choice seemed random, Kaede wasn\'t stupid and could feel that the girl had made Tenku her choice from the start. In other words, Kirika\'s goal for coming to Suisei High school was Tenku.
Setsuka was silent, but her eyes couldn\'t hide her anger. She felt the same way when she saw Tenku being hugged by Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue in a video on the Holy Union forum. Setsuka clenched her fists tightly, and a chill overflowed from her body.
"Calm down, Sesuka. The entire school grounds will become a frozen plain if you keep releasing your power." Kaede patted Setsuka on the shoulder and reminded her.
"Ah, I\'m sorry. I feel that girl has bad intentions towards him. Thus, I felt angry and lost control of my powers." Setsuka said in a low voice and quickly retracted her power.
Luckily, only Kaede noticed that. If the other students found out, Setsuka would be questioned for suddenly using her powers for no reason.
"I also feel the same as you. I don\'t know what that girl wants from him, but we can only watch over the situation now. We can immediately act and help Tenku if she shows her evil intention toward him." Kaede said.
"I understand." Setsuka nodded and replied curtly. She knew that what she and Kaede thought was different.
Setsuka wasn\'t worried about Tenku, but she didn\'t like seeing other girls with him, let alone deliberately approaching him. But she had no intention of clearing up the misunderstanding because Kaede didn\'t know Tenku\'s true power, so it was natural for her to think that way.
Setsuka aside, Akina also felt the same way but didn\'t think Kirika had come to Suisei High School for Tenku because there was no way that boy would know a famous idol.
Meanwhile, Tenku\'s face darkened when he heard Kirika\'s words. The girl had come for him, and his omens were true. Tenku felt that there was nothing good about seeing her again. As she spoke, Kirika provoked hatred and jealousy from the students towards him. So Tenku had to stay away from her at the cultural festival.
"I\'m sorry, but I have to decline that honor, miss Kirika." Tenku politely refused. The answer satisfies the students because they think they still have a chance to become Kirika\'s guide at school.
"Why?" Kirika smiled in response like she knew that Tenku would not refuse to be her guide.
"First, I\'m just a freshman here and still don\'t know much about Suisei High School. You better have a second or third-year student if you want a guide. Second, I have to accompany my little sister. So I don\'t have time to be your guide." Tenku explained.
"Yes, big brother will accompany me for a whole day to explore all the events at Suisei High School! So you better find someone else and don\'t bother us! He is my older sister\'s boyfriend!" Kohana added in a loud voice.
Tenku was happy that the little girl was helping him talk to Kirika, but her last sentence worried him. He was concerned that Setsuka would get angry after hearing those words.
On the other hand, Setsuka\'s face blushed after hearing her little sister\'s statement. She had not expected Kohana to dare to say such things in public.
"Oho... Your little sister already considers Tenku as your boyfriend. Not only did he capture your heart, but he also made Kohana cling to him. Amazing." Kaede whispered.
Setsuka\'s face turned even redder when she heard Kaede\'s words, but she quickly calmed her heart down. Now wasn\'t the time to think about that. Setsuka had to stop Kirika, regardless of her goal, to have Tenku as her guide.
"I apologize for suddenly interrupting your conversation. But what he said was true. He is just a freshman. If you need someone to guide you, you can choose from second and third-year students. It was better because they understood more about the school than first-year students. So they can answer all your questions about Suisei High School." Setsuka said, and the students agreed with her words.
They didn\'t know Setsuka\'s true intentions. If those students knew it, they would be even angrier as they burned with jealousy.
"Who are you?" Kirika frowned when she saw Setsuka speak for Tenku. The girl was no less beautiful than her and excelled in several areas. That made Kirika unhappy.
"I apologize for not introducing myself first. I am the student council president at Suisei High School. My name is Setsuka Fuyushima." Setsuka replied.
Kirika\'s face clouded when she heard Setsuka\'s name. She could overlook the student council president of Suisei High School, but she couldn\'t do the same for the daughter of Fuyushima Temple.
At first, Kirika intended to ask the principal directly so that Tenku could be her guide while performing at the cultural festival at Suisei High School. But she quickly dismissed that thought as it looked very suspicious. Kirika didn\'t want it to be known that she had come specifically to meet Tenku.
Therefore, she changed her plan and wanted to have Tenku as a guide in front of the other students. He might have refused at first, but Kirika had a way of making him agree.
Setsuka\'s appearance could ruin her plan. Kirika didn\'t expect the daughter of the head of the Fuyushima Temple would speak up for Tenku. Kirika didn\'t know why Setsuka would disagree with her, but she couldn\'t lose to her.
"What you\'re saying makes sense, Miss Fuyushima. But I already chose him. As an idol, I don\'t want to seem indecisive. Besides, it would be troublesome and a waste of time if I had to find another guide among hundreds of students." Kirika said calmly.
She had to make Tenku her guide no matter what. That way, Kirika can spend a lot of time with him and discover his secrets. After all, someone like Tenku couldn\'t be left alone. Kirika had thought that he was an illegal Realizer. Because of that, she had to confirm Tenku\'s true identity.
"You don\'t have to bother looking for it from hundreds of students. I can recommend you a member of the student council or disciplinary committee. What do you think?" Setsuka suggested Kirika.
Most of the students were disappointed after hearing her words. But they couldn\'t do anything about it since the people from the student council knew the school better than them.
"You..." Kirika gritted her teeth because she couldn\'t refute Setsuka\'s words. She had been wrong from the start for telling the principal that she wanted to know more about Suisei High School.
If Kirika knew something like this would happen, she would ask Benjiro to make Tenku her guide. She didn\'t care if the principal would be suspicious of her. The most important thing was for Kirika to get the information she wanted. But she couldn\'t cry over spilled milk. What Kirika could do now was overcome the situation.
"I think Setsuka\'s words make sense, miss Kirika. The student council or disciplinary committee members must know this school better than the first-year students." Benjiro agrees with Setsuka, making it hard for Kirika to refuse him.
"Alright, I will agree with Miss Fuyushima\'s suggestion. Then, could you help me select a student council member to be my guide?" Kirika squeezed the words out and reluctantly accepted the proposal after Benjiro spoke. She had to forget about her plan and try to find another way to discover Tenku\'s identity.
"Of course, I\'d be happy to do that." Setsuka nodded. After that, the principal dismissed the students and allowed them to continue their activities.
Tenku quickly left the school grounds with Kohana and intended to continue their visit at events in the other classes. He wanted to escape Kirika quickly, but the situation wouldn\'t allow it.
As Tenku and Kohana walked down the corridor to another second-year class, they bumped into Kirika. Satoru accompanied the girl as her guide on the recommendation of Setsuka. Besides him, Tenku also saw a middle-aged woman with glasses and a handsome young man he had met before.
"She seems more troublesome than I thought." Tenku sighed when he saw Kirika stare at him and smile.
