"Soyo, Soyo, did you see that woman just now?"
In the coffee shop, Anon, with her pink hair, excitedly grabbed the slender arm of the girl beside her and shouted.
Soyo came back to her senses. She pouted and said unhappily, "Anon, you're pinching me."
"Sorry, sorry!"
Anon put her hands together and apologized to Soyo. Then she looked excited again. "...Soyo, that woman just now was so beautiful. I don't know why, but the moment I saw her, I really liked her."
Soyo gave a vague "mm-hmm."
Soyo had indeed seen Tomie, who had just walked past.
She also admitted that the woman had astonishing beauty, so beautiful that even she, as a girl, felt a little moved.
This might also be one of the flaws in Tomie's ability.
That is, when facing men, Tomie's ability could exert tremendous power, making men instantly infatuated.
But when facing women, the effect of this ability was much weaker. It required time to build before a woman could completely fall in love with her or resent her.
At this moment, Soyo's mind was not on Tomie, but full of Mutsumi and Sakiko.
Although, after a series of events, she had come to terms with Sakiko's matter. Sakiko had even personally sought her out to explain some of the reasons, and their relationship had returned to being good.
Soyo knew that their friendship could no longer return to the way it had been in the past.
But for Soyo, just maintaining their friendship like this was enough to satisfy her.
She just did not know what had happened recently, but her other friend, Mutsumi, seemed to be in a somewhat strange mental state, which made Soyo a little worried.
It was just that with Mutsumi's quiet personality, Soyo knew that no matter what she said, Mutsumi probably would not listen.
Besides these two girls, what made Soyo overthink even more was Toru.
At that time, because of Sakiko's rejection, she had been confused and gone to a hotel, then had relations with Toru.
On the surface, Soyo seemed not to care, giving herself reasons such as it being normal for women in Japan to lose their virginity, and that it was something every woman had to experience.
But Soyo still could not convince herself. Regarding Toru, she was still anxious, wavering between hope and fear, and really wanted to attract his attention.
Otherwise, she would not always come to this coffee shop on weekends, hoping to have a chance to meet Toru and talk with him.
Anon was still chattering away, while Soyo responded with "mm-hmm" and "ah-ah."
This pink-haired girl's personality was really too unpredictable. Sometimes, Soyo got a terrible headache from her.
But being beside this pink-haired girl always made people feel good.
A girl's heart was always full of poetry. While Soyo was worrying about her feelings, Rei had already brought Tomie to the front of Toru's office.
Rei had just recovered some of his senses. Before he could react, Tomie, acting as if she knew the place well, directly pushed open the door to Toru's office.
"Wait..."
Rei, who wanted to stop her, saw that Tomie had already walked into the office. He covered his head with a headache, his brows tightly furrowed.
At this moment, Rei was flustered. He found that he was actually somewhat reluctant to stop Tomie!
"Who is this woman? What is going on? Is it some kind of hypnosis or psychological suggestion?"
Rei's face was gloomy.
He did not leave, but stood at the door of Toru's office.
If something went wrong with Toru inside, he had to rush in immediately and try to prevent it from happening.
Although Rei did not know exactly what would happen inside, or what he needed to prevent.
"I don't like impolite people who walk in without knocking."
Toru, who was resting in his office, heard someone push open the door. He opened his eyes and said unhappily.
He did not know who had come in, but he thought it must be an acquaintance.
But a sweet, charming voice that Toru had never heard before made him realize that a stranger had entered, and he immediately became vigilant.
"I'm sorry, Fujiwara-kun. I didn't know you disliked people not knocking. I'll be careful next time~"
The flirtatious voice was tingling, and her tone also carried just the right amount of grievance.
Any man who saw her like this would definitely forgive her!
Tomie was that confident.
Especially when she first saw Toru, Tomie was overjoyed.
It was not because Toru was so handsome that she was particularly excited.
It was mainly because Tomie could tell at a glance that Toru was a man full of desire, someone who would absolutely be unable to refuse her.
In the past six months, she had met many different kinds of people and had developed an instinctive understanding of men.
This great hero of Japan in front of her was somewhat similar to her, also a person full of desire, consumed by desire.
Such a man would be completely tamed by her, even easier than training a dog!
I've definitely won!
Toru looked up, and Tomie's extremely beautiful, charming, and sweet face, like a poppy flower, entered his sight.
When he saw the beauty mark at the corner of the girl's eye, Toru immediately confirmed that this woman was Tomie!
Although Tomie had the ability to charm others, in the manga from Toru's memory, because of the art style, Tomie's beauty could not truly be depicted.
But when Toru truly saw Tomie in person, he was immediately attracted by her extraordinary beauty.
It was like a fallen abyss, drawing Toru to step into it.
And the most terrifying thing was that Toru found that he seemed unable to refuse. His heart had been completely captured by Tomie.
Seeing Toru's gradually infatuated gaze, Tomie smiled smugly.
Heh, as expected, even the great hero of Japan is no different from ordinary men.
As long as he sees me, he will fall in love, with no possibility of escape.
Hmm, this man is really handsome. According to what is written in books, he is simply as perfect as a statue carved from ancient Greek marble.
If it were him, he could also be my boyfriend. By then, I wonder how many women would be green with envy.
As this thought arose, Tomie's eyes turned slightly red, as if she were about to cry, and she said sweetly, "I saw Fujiwara-kun's story online and was attracted by Fujiwara-kun's sense of justice, which is why I gathered the courage to come find Fujiwara-kun and wanted to get acquainted with Fujiwara-kun."
"But Fujiwara-kun glared at me like this the moment he saw me. I'm really so sad~"
Tomie's expression was artificial, completely lacking any acting skill.
But it did not matter. Tomie did not need acting skill. As long as she expressed the emotion, men would immediately kneel down and beg for forgiveness.
Mm, this Fujiwara Toru will definitely panic and beg me to forgive him.
Just as Tomie was feeling smug, Toru looked at her with a strange expression and a look of pity. "Ms., do I know you? What are you doing, putting on this one-woman act?"
"Are you perhaps mentally ill? If you are, I don't mind taking you to the hospital right now to have your brain checked."
At this moment, Toru suddenly felt a strange cool sensation rush into his mind, and Tomie's seductive power, like a memetic infection, weakened significantly.
This also allowed him to regain his senses.
Tomie, who was deep in her fantasy, stiffened and looked at Toru in disbelief.
What's going on? Why isn't this man following the script?
Where's the part where he kneels and begs for forgiveness?
