Itomori
"As expected of time travel, the consumption of magical power is no joke," Akira muttered as he appeared on the rooftop of Itomori High School. He had developed the Traveler skill into World Map with D's help, allowing him to travel through time to Itomori. Tomorrow was the day Comet Tiamat would pass over Itomori.
And so, Akira decided to come himself to solve the problem, as he needed to stop the annoying body-swapping incident between him and Mitsuha.
"As expected, my body is the best," Akira smiled lightly, feeling the immense strength in his body. He wasn't used to the unfamiliar weakness he felt when he was in Mitsuha's body. Finally, he was going to put an end to this strange body-swapping.
"Now, shall we go see Hime-miko?" Akira smirked mischievously as he walked toward Mitsuha's classroom. He was certain she would be surprised to see him, as this should be the first time they were meeting face-to-face from Mitsuha's perspective.
Akira casually descended from the rooftop, completely familiar with the place, and walked leisurely toward the familiar classroom. He had studied in this classroom for about a month, but this was the first time he had come in his real body.
Knock
Knock
Knock
Upon reaching the classroom, he could hear the voice of Yukari-sensei, the Japanese literature teacher—a kind and gentle person. He could see how everyone was listening to her attentively, including Mitsuha, who was oblivious to his arrival. Seeing this, Akira smiled and politely knocked on the door.
"Please come in..." Upon hearing the knock, Yukari-sensei paused her explanation briefly before welcoming the visitor in a soft and gentle voice.
"My apologies..." Akira said calmly as he opened the classroom door and entered quietly under the curious gazes of everyone and the shocked look from Mitsuha.
"Who are you? I don't recall having such a handsome student in our school," Yukari said, raising an eyebrow in confusion. Although Akira's appearance was extremely handsome, she didn't let it distract her for more than a moment. Akira's identity wasn't clear, and his actions could be considered an intrusion or even that of someone with malicious intentions toward her or one of the students.
"That's correct. I'm not a student at Itomori High School," Akira smiled politely as he introduced himself. "My name is Nifuji Akira, and I'm a student at Suimei University of the Arts in Tokyo."
As he introduced himself, he took out his student handbook and showed it to Yukari, while hiding the date of his enrollment as a student. It would be troublesome if she noticed something unusual.
"I see. So, what brings someone from Tokyo to such a remote village?" Upon seeing the information in the student handbook, Yukari nodded and asked with unconcealed curiosity, while the students also whispered among themselves.
"I came to visit my girlfriend. There's a festival tomorrow, and I wanted to attend it with her," Akira smiled gently, but there was a hint of mischief in his eyes as he glanced at the stunned Mitsuha out of the corner of his eye. Her face had turned as red as a tomato upon hearing his words, and she kept opening and closing her mouth repeatedly but couldn't utter a single word.
"I see. I wonder who the lucky girl is to be dating such a handsome young man," Yukari remarked lightly, noticing Akira's smile and subtle glance. She could see Mitsuha's flushed face as she stared at Akira in disbelief and embarrassment.
"It's definitely the most beautiful girl in this class," Akira smiled, pointing at Mitsuha. He wasn't lying, as her beauty stood out among all the girls in the class. Only Yukari could match her beauty, but Yukari had the aura of a mature and attractive woman, unlike Mitsuha, who exuded a youthful charm.
"I see. It seems Miyamizu-san has found herself a good boyfriend," Yukari commented lightly, with a hint of amusement in her gaze before looking at Akira with some apology. "But even though you've come all this way, school hours aren't over yet, so I can't let Miyamizu-san leave just like that."
"No need to worry. I'd like to see Mitsuha during school hours, so I hope you don't mind me intruding on your lesson," Akira said with a polite smile, though there was unmistakable amusement in his voice as he saw Mitsuha's conflicted expression. It was clear she was both happy and embarrassed by Akira calling her his girlfriend, but she was also clearly upset by his sudden appearance. She was holding herself back from yelling at him loudly, as her upbringing had instilled in her a strong sense of maintaining her image in front of others. She couldn't scream in a public place, especially at school, where she would undoubtedly become the talk of the school the next day. Though she suspected she would already be the talk of the school because of Akira's actions.
"No problem," Yukari smiled lightly before continuing with an apologetic expression. "But I can't let you sit next to each other, as it might disrupt the class. So, I hope you'll sit quietly by the window until the lesson is over. This is the last class of the day, after all."
"Of course, thank you, Yukari-sensei," Akira shrugged lightly and picked up a nearby chair, placing it by the window near the podium where Yukari was teaching.
"Oh, Nifuji-kun, I don't recall introducing myself to you," Yukari asked curiously. Since Akira had entered, no student had spoken, as everyone was stunned by his appearance and the fact that he was from a big city like Tokyo. There was no way for Akira to know her name in their first meeting.
"Akira, please call me that. I'm not used to being addressed by my family name. As for your question, Mitsuha has told me a lot about you, Yukari-sensei. She never stops praising you as a beautiful, wonderful, and kind teacher," Akira said as he sat on the wooden chair by the window, smiling charmingly at Yukari. "And I must admit, Mitsuha wasn't exaggerating. Yukari-sensei is indeed very beautiful, kind, and considerate."
"I see. I must admit, you have quite a silver tongue, Akira-kun," Yukari smiled, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks. She had to admit she was pleased to hear such a handsome young man compliment her appearance.
