At this moment, Kisaragi Anna was going through a very special torment. The whole body of this beautiful gyaru—with her twin silver braids and ponytail—was pressed against Mu Xiaoxiao, sitting on his lap with an imposing manner.
In fact, an ambiguous atmosphere surrounded them.
And it was in public, under the eyes of all those students. Kisaragi Anna, who'd returned to normal, quickly had an embarrassing bluish-black tinge on her cheeks.
'What's going on? My body doesn't seem to belong to me anymore. It's inexplicable...' After meeting the terrified eyes of the young man before her, Kisaragi Anna's veins of embarrassment emerged.
"You—come out with me!"
Noticing many people staring at her, her mind in chaos, she didn't even bother jumping off him properly. She grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao's arm and ran outside.
It wasn't until their backs disappeared through the classroom door that the class regained its usual calm. But naturally, whispers and discussions arose. Chisato, sitting in the front seat, wore a complicated expression.
No one knew what she was thinking.
And her abnormal expression was also noticed by Himemiya Makoto. 'This friend of mine has been out of sorts these past two days. It really seems connected to that Mu Xiaoxiao. Whenever he's mentioned, Chisato's expression changes...'
'I asked her, but she wouldn't admit it.'
'I'll just find a chance to ask Mu-kun myself.'
Himemiya Makoto, unaware of Mu Xiaoxiao's danger, thought this way. If Chisato knew her good friend had such terrifying thoughts, she would definitely stop her.
But unfortunately, Chisato was still preoccupied with Mu Xiaoxiao and Kisaragi Anna, and hadn't noticed her friend's plan. Himemiya Makoto had no intention of telling her.

In the corridor outside the classroom, behind the stairs, only Mu Xiaoxiao and Kisaragi Anna remained.
"Kisaragi, what are you trying to do by dragging me here?" Seeing her fierce, terrifying expression, Mu Xiaoxiao shrank back, pretending to be scared. He retreated step by step, hugging his arms. "Even if you're a gyaru, we're barely acquainted. Don't try to force me."
'Who's forcing you?! This guy's pretending to be the victim. Does he think I'll—do that to him? I'm the one suffering here!'
Kisaragi Anna was half-dead from his attitude. She fiercely cornered him. "Don't talk nonsense, Mu Xiaoxiao. Let me ask you—are my abnormalities related to you?"
'Yesterday and today, I was fine normally. But as soon as I get involved with him, my body goes wrong.' Kisaragi Anna had to make connections.
'This girl's a bit smart. Seems even hentai heroines have brains.' Mu Xiaoxiao thought this while asking confusedly, "Abnormalities? What are you talking about?"
"I mean—that... when I saw you yesterday, my body got hot. That kind of—"
Listening to her falter, a smile on his face, Mu Xiaoxiao almost laughed out loud. He couldn't help winking. "Is that so? When you saw me yesterday, you felt hot? Could it be you like me?"
'Who likes you!'
"I didn't mean that! I meant—"
After thinking a long time without knowing how to explain, seeing Mu Xiaoxiao's hateful smile again, the flustered girl scratched her head and grabbed his collar. "Anyway! My body's gone weird. Did you do something?"
"No, looking at you like this, you must have done something, right?!"
Mu Xiaoxiao didn't speak. The smile on his face continued. The corners of his mouth rose slightly. His deep eyes met the white-haired girl before him. She couldn't help swallowing as he suddenly calmed down.
"What should I say about you, Kisaragi? Since you know I might have done something, you still dare to seek me out? In a place like this, with no one around?" Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to transform. He grabbed the girl's hand on his collar and moved it away.
"Smart people would pretend not to know. They'd protect themselves wisely and stay away from dangerous people like me. But you've walked right into the trap." Mu Xiaoxiao patted his wrinkled clothes, smoothing his collar.
Kisaragi Anna's pupils shrank.
Her body—her body couldn't move.
'This feeling—it's back! It really is him! Mu Xiaoxiao did it!'
'But wait—what is he trying to do?'
"Even if something happens here, no one will know." Mu Xiaoxiao pressed her against the wall, reaching out to stroke her cheek back and forth. Feeling the softness under his fingers, he pinched it. "Kisaragi Anna, this is the bitter fruit of your own stupidity. Or rather, your misplaced cleverness."
'Something happens? Could it be—no, don't.'
The hand on her cheek traveled downward, landing on her neck. Kisaragi Anna was shocked. Her smooth arms trembled. Her delicate body shook uncontrollably.
Panic. Tension. Fear—
"But, Kisaragi, you're not my type." Just as Kisaragi closed her eyes nervously, expecting him to do something harsh, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly withdrew his hand, catching her off guard.
Mu Xiaoxiao released her, took two steps back, and clasped his hands behind his back. "I have no feelings for you. Even if you lay defenseless before me, it would be difficult for me to desire you. So forget it."
In truth, he'd been completely drained. He had no energy left.
Otherwise, Mu Xiaoxiao wouldn't have minded teaching her a lesson... But he didn't expect these words to hit Kisaragi Anna even harder. They broke through the white-haired gyaru's defenses.
Her eyes widened. She stared at him in disbelief.
"Be careful next time. Don't be so stubborn. If you're smart, don't ask for trouble."
Having delivered his aggressive speech, Mu Xiaoxiao turned to leave. But before he could step onto the stairs, Kisaragi Anna shouted angrily, "Mu Xiaoxiao! Stop right there!!"
Mu Xiaoxiao: "???"
The girl, whose body had returned to normal, rushed over furiously. "You bastard! What do you mean 'it would be difficult to desire me'?! You're making me sound like some ugly girl with no charm!"
Mu Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded. This was her point?
As the top gyaru in class, being ignored like this was unbearable!
She'd always despised others. Today, she'd been despised herself.
Just moments ago, because Mu Xiaoxiao could control her body, she'd been afraid and flustered. But hearing his words, all that vanished. Only anger and unhappiness remained in her heart.
"Take back what you said!"
"Even if you say that, I'm just telling the truth." Mu Xiaoxiao spread his hands. "I really have no interest in you."
"You!"
'It must be reverse psychology. He's definitely lustful.' Kisaragi Anna thought this, but watched him turn and leave without hesitation. Her chest suddenly rose and fell, gasping for breath. Full of unwillingness.
'I don't think I'm an ugly girl. I think I'm quite beautiful. Yet he's dismissed me to this extent? Unforgivable!'
'Come to think of it, this guy can control other people's bodies. It's practically a superpower. With such terrifying ability, he let me go... Could my charm really be that low?'
'Shameful! This is truly shameful.'
Kisaragi Anna, who should have been afraid of Mu Xiaoxiao, was now full of shame and unwillingness.
Back in the classroom, she still hadn't recovered. During class, she frequently glanced sideways, peeking at Mu Xiaoxiao, gritting her teeth.
'No. I have to find a way to make him recognize my charm...'
