"Kawamata Kayako..."
Tomie murmured the name, firmly remembering it in her heart.
It was not that the name was particularly strange and made her vigilant. It was merely Toru's tone, filled with deep affection, that ignited a strong sense of jealousy in Tomie's heart.
How excellent was this woman, for this man, who was unaffected by her charm and disregarded her beauty, to be so unable to forget her?
Tomie wished she could see the woman named Kawamata Kayako right now and compare herself to her, to see where she was inferior.
At this moment, an impulse arose in Tomie's heart.
Even if her charm had failed, she still wanted to possess the man in front of her and prove to him that she was no worse than the woman named Kawamata Kayako.
Using her ability for half a year had given Tomie extremely strong confidence.
Even if her ability failed, she still believed in herself, believed in her beauty and excellence.
It could be said that the formerly timid Tomie was long gone. The current Tomie was a confident and spirited high school girl, like a queen.
However, these were just Tomie's thoughts. At this moment, facing Toru, she felt more fear.
It was the feeling of helplessness that came with the failure of her ability, leaving Tomie temporarily unsure how to face Toru.
She hesitated for a long time, put her hands together, looked at Toru with pitiful eyes, and said in a gentle and sorrowful tone, "Fujiwara-kun, I know you have a girl you like."
"But can you give me a chance, please? I beg you, just give me one chance. I, I don't want to give up like this."
It had been a long time since Tomie had spoken in such a humble manner, especially to a man. She did not need to speak humbly to men at all, which made her feel a little unaccustomed for a moment.
Toru seemed to hesitate for a moment as well. He looked at Tomie's eyes, which seemed about to cry, and sighed. "Okay, although we can't be boyfriend and girlfriend, we can be good friends."
"Ms. Tomie, this is my LINE. Why don't you add it so we can chat when we're free and understand each other?"
Toru took out his phone, opened the QR code, and let Tomie scan it.
Tomie skillfully scanned the QR code and added Toru as a friend.
After doing this, Tomie felt awkward for a moment and did not know what to say.
In her plan, she should have entered the room, and Toru would have doted on her obsessively, showing her care and concern.
Then Tomie would naturally propose becoming boyfriend and girlfriend, and she thought Toru would definitely agree without hesitation.
And after this initial contact, Tomie could start extracting Toru's wealth.
But things did not go as planned. She did not even complete the first step and instead made Toru think she was mentally ill. With no other plan, Tomie could only bite the bullet and say goodbye.
"I'm sorry, Fujiwara-kun. I was impolite this time and intruded into your office."
"Fortunately, Fujiwara-kun, you are magnanimous and forgave my rudeness. Next time, next time I will definitely make an appointment with Fujiwara-kun in advance and won't be so rash."
You're still thinking about next time?
Toru muttered in his heart.
If your name wasn't Tomie, I wouldn't even give you a good look.
But since her name was Tomie, Toru could only nod gently. "If it's just something like eating out as friends, as long as I have time, it's no problem."
However, in reality, even as a friend, not everyone could easily ask Toru out.
His affairs were simply too busy.
But if the person asking him out was named Tomie, for the safety of the world and his own safety, Toru could only bite the bullet and accept the invitation.
Tomie was overjoyed. She bowed repeatedly to Toru. "Fujiwara-kun, I'll take my leave now and won't disturb you."
With that, Tomie fled as if escaping.
Being in front of Toru made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles. Having always relied solely on her ability in the past, she actually had no idea how to interact with a boy.
Therefore, she could only choose to escape first and think about what to do next after she returned.
Toru watched with a smile as Tomie left his office. Tomie even politely closed the door for him.
As Tomie's back disappeared, the smile on Toru's lips also vanished.
"This Tomie seems a bit different from the Tomie in my impression."
Toru frowned tightly.
In his impression, Tomie was an extremely vain woman who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals and had no moral bottom line.
But the Tomie just now gave Toru a feeling of... purity!
Yes, purity, even innocence.
She had no social experience, did not understand many things, and she did not even notice that things were developing strangely.
Under normal circumstances, if a stranger broke into someone else's office, even if the other party was not angry, how could the two of them just start chatting inexplicably and even add each other as friends?
Especially since Toru was not an ordinary person.
Anyone with a little social experience would probably suspect this was Toru's trap.
But Tomie believed him for no reason, and she did not even realize that the conversation and the development of events had no logic at all.
It was as if Toru himself had been waiting for her to come.
"The Tomie in my impression is more like someone who has experienced countless people and events. Although not too smart, her life experience has taught her many things."
"The Tomie just now, on the other hand, is a complete and utter student, even more innocent than an average student."
"If I had to describe this Tomie, she's more like the fledgling Tomie, not yet transformed into that promiscuous monster who lives only for desire."
"Perhaps this is an opportunity for me? However, Tomie's ability is truly terrifying."
Toru's expression was heavy. The moment he first saw Tomie, he truly felt like he was finished.
That insane infatuation with her, that possessiveness that made him want to kill her and stuff her into a freezer to admire alone, almost drowned Toru's rationality.
This made Toru even more certain that people like himself, with strong desires, were completely powerless in front of Tomie.
However, what was that cool sensation in his mind? If it were not for that coolness restoring his rationality, he would probably have been infected by Tomie, and a seed of obedience would have been planted in his heart.
"The difference between me and ordinary people is having the system. Could this be the system's ability?"
"I also possess a mysterious ability, but I haven't been able to use it. Perhaps this ability isn't for offense, but for defense?"
Toru did not know the reason, but after thinking about it, this was the most reasonable explanation.
The first meeting with Tomie was easier than Toru had expected. This pure and principled Tomie was relatively easy to fool.
But Toru knew that this was probably just the beginning. Given Tomie's persistent personality, she would likely continue to bother him afterward.
...
Tomie looked at the man with a fawning smile in front of her with a gloomy expression.
No problem. My ability is fine, it hasn't disappeared.
However, my ability is ineffective against Fujiwara Toru!
In the past six months or so, Tomie had also encountered men who were unaffected by her ability.
But that man had lost his parents, lost his beloved girlfriend, and was completely numb and despairing, almost like a living corpse.
He had no desires left, so he would not feel any possessiveness toward Tomie.
But Toru was different. That man was not a living corpse. His desires were even stronger than anyone else's, yet my ability was useless against him.
Tomie revealed a seductive and charming smile.
Interesting. Fujiwara Toru, you have completely caught my attention!
After realizing her ability was still effective, Tomie gave up on finding other ways to deal with Toru.
She wanted her ability to work on Toru and make him completely fall at her feet!
Perhaps I should be more aggressive and use some special methods?
For example, if I take off all my clothes to tempt him, or engage in more intimate acts with him, will it cause his desires to completely erupt, thus making him mine?
(To be continued.)
Working on a book that I feel is quite unique? It's not fanfiction, but it has elements of fanfiction. I've posted it and would appreciate it if you could check it out and see if it's something you'd like to follow.
