Kapitel 205: 205. She Came To His World
The Exams are held for four days from Monday to Thursday, and Friday is the handing over of exam scores to students. After that, the teacher will show the ranking of the exam results which will be divided by grade, first year, second year, and third year next Tuesday. Besides, that day is also the closing ceremony before the summer holidays.
After school on the third day of the exam, Izumi happened to get a call. It was Mihari from Gongon Publishing company. Mihari called him to come tomorrow as she had something to talk about. Izumi also happened to want to go there. But because there was an exam tomorrow, he asked to postpone it until Friday. Izumi also asked why Mihari was looking for him, but Mihari didn't say so and just told Izumi to come.

The next day, when the final day of the exam was over, all the students cheered up as if they were free from disaster. Tōru, Hiroyuki, and Shou approached Izumi and thanked him for helping them. Due to Izumi's teaching, those three could handle the questions better than expected. The three of them wanted to take Izumi out and treat him to a meal after school as a token of gratitude. Of course, Izumi agreed. How could he possibly miss a treat from his friends even though they knew that Izumi could finish a few servings of food when he ate?
The four of them walked out through the school gate. While they were having fun joking around with each other, they saw the crowd in front of the gate as if they were surrounding something.
"Ufufufu, I finally found you!"
Izumi stiffened when he heard that voice. He saw a little girl dressed in a gothic lolita dress while walking out from the surrounding students. Who else if not Rori? Izumi didn't activate his Kenbunshoku Haki in his world, so he didn't notice Rori's presence. In any case, since his instinct was already sharpened, he would immediately know if there was danger accompanied by malicious intent. Naturally, Izumi didn't feel it in Rori.
When Rori approached him, he pointed in a random direction with his index finger while shouting.
"Go back to your nest!"
"How cruel! I'm having a hard time looking for you, you know! Fortunately, Tabane helped me."
"Tabane-chan?"
Izumi immediately understood, if it was Tabane who helped her, it would not be surprising if Rori could find him. Tabane could create a device that could detect a person's location, such as a device to detect her younger sister's location.
Izumi asked.
"Then, why are you here?"
"Did you forget what you promised? And of course, I want to see Japan."
As the two were conversing, Izumi felt everyone's eyes on the two of them. He remembered that he was still at school. He also saw Kyouko with her friend, Yuki. When Izumi's eyes fell on Kyouko, Rori turned her head and immediately knew that what Izumi was looking at was his ex.
Rori approached Kyouko by walking slowly. Izumi who realized what Rori wanted to do tried to stop her, but his body suddenly froze. He couldn't move at all.
Rori looked at Izumi with a smirk.
"You should stay here for a while, brat!"
Izumi immediately thought. "Don't tell me she used the Soul Manipulation ability? The fuck! Isn't this ability too broken?"
Rori used her ability to trap Izumi's soul and prevent him from moving his body. Izumi had a skill that could nourish the soul and allowed him to launch soul attacks. But it had been 2 months, counted when he was still in Hiiro's world, and that ability's level had not increased as if it was stuck in Echelon level 4. And because of that, he had weaker soul force and no soul defense to defend against Rori's soul manipulation.
Rori could manipulate souls if her opponent's strength or soul was on par or weaker than hers. Other than that, her soul manipulation could be defended by soul defense. There was no doubt that Rori's strength was much stronger than Izumi's. What's more, it had been 800 years since Rori dealt with anything regarding souls, let alone her curse that could affect a person's soul. It was undeniable, both her strength and soul were stronger than Izumi's. That was why Izumi couldn't do anything against her.
"This loli!! What the hell she's gonna do!" He said inwardly.
Tōru, Hiroyuki, and Shou were shocked after Rori said "want to see Japan" which meant the little girl came from overseas. At first, they thought that Rori was a descendant of a Japanese and a foreigner who had lived in Japan for a long time since she spoke Japanese fluently. But they didn't know that Rori was a genius who could learn a foreign language in a month. They tried to ask Izumi, but strangely, Izumi didn't respond at all as if he had been paralyzed.

Rori's approach to Kyouko made the atmosphere heat up like a confrontation between an ex and a crush. Rori looked at Yuki and said,
"Could you get away for a minute, I want to talk to her!"
Yuki didn't want to leave Kyouko alone, but Kyouko hinted at Yuki because this was a personal matter. Seeing Rori who recognized Izumi with an unusual-looking appearance, Kyouko could tell that Rori was someone from another world.
After those two went somewhere, they talked face to face.
"So you're his ex huh? I've heard many things about you from him. It's a good thing you didn't tell anyone about his secret."
Even if Kyouko said about Izumi's secret, people wouldn't believe her. That's why she didn't say anything.
"What do you want from me? We already broke up, so what happened to him is none of my business anymore."
Kyouko looked wary of Rori, however, Rori casually said while chuckling.
"Ufufufu, none of your business? Well, at least I can still forgive you for not revealing his secret. I thought you were the girl he deserved. Apparently, just knowing one of his characters, you already broke up with him. It's a pity. A lot of girls were interested in him, and they were definitely better than you, but he chose you instead. Do you know what it means?"
Izumi once said after breaking up with Kyouko, he said it was better not to be in a relationship with an ordinary girl. He also didn't want to be in a relationship with someone who couldn't accept who he was. That was why Rori said that to Kyouko.
After saying that, Rori didn't wait for Kyouko's response and walked away.

Rori snapped her fingers to let go of Izumi's restriction. But it was too late for him to stop Rori, so he said with a sigh.
"Can you not make trouble?"
"Trouble? Why did you think I would make trouble?"
Rori just answered with a sweet smile.
"So, what did you just say to her?"
"Want to know?"
"Tsk, forget it."
And at that time, Tōru asked Izumi.
"I-Izumi, don't tell me you broke up with Hori because of this little girl? I didn't expect you to be a lolicon."
Hiroyuki and Shou nodded, after they saw how Rori's looked, they also agreed with what Tōru said.
"Wait-wait-wait... Don't misunderstand me!!!"
Izumi dragged his friends away from Rori. Then, he continued.
"I broke up for a different reason, not because of this loli girl."
Even though Izumi tried to convince his friends, they still didn't seem to believe him. They even looked at him weirdly.
"Hey, even though she looks young, she's old..."
Izumi's words were cut short and he instantly stiffened. He already felt Rori who suddenly stood behind him.
"Hooo, I didn't think you dared to talk behind my back like that."
"Ummm, I didn't talk about you though." Izumi just replied to her with his fake smile.
"Ufufufu, you can't fool me, you think I'm a kid?" Then, Rori's gaze turned to Izumi's three friends. "You want to know why this kid broke up with his girlfriend?" Rori said while pointing with her index finger at Izumi.
"Hey Rori! What the hell are you..." Izumi wanted to protest, but again Rori cut him off by whispering to him.
"Why don't you just accept it and let them think that you're a casanova."
"No fuckin way!"
"Alright, alright! I won't let them think of you that way."
