As soon as I sat down, class started. The funny thing was that much of the lesson content was inaccurate compared to the facts, but since the technology was less advanced than in Nano's time and the historical perspective was centered on that country, it couldn't be helped. But during class, why was Sonoko next to me keep glancing at me?
"Sonoko, was it? Do you have something to say?"
Sonoko flusteredly shook her head.
"Ah, no, nothing..."
Perhaps because Sonoko spoke loudly in her fluster, the teacher pointed at her and said.
"There! Pay attention!"
"Yes, yes!"
As if embarrassed, Sonoko blushed and buried her face in her book, staying like that for the rest of the class. Taking classes like this reminded me of my real school days, which was interesting. Back then, I only waited for class to end, but now I somewhat enjoyed it.
Then lunchtime came. I was about to secretly take out a random lunchbox from my inventory and eat. But girls flocked over, pushed desks together, and asked to eat together, so I had no choice but to take out one more random lunchbox to make it plentiful for everyone to eat.
"Wow~ It's delicious. Did you make it yourself?"
"Yeah, I made it myself."
"Amazing! You're good at cooking too!"
Hohoho~ Hahaha~
At that sight, the surrounding male students' gazes weren't very good, but I just ignored them. After finishing the meal and cleaning up the lunchbox, Sonoko, Ran, and Shinichi came over to talk.
"Hey, I was watching that broadcast too. Can you really summon ghosts?"
Sonoko said, looking at me with sparkling eyes.
"Of course~ I'm somewhat of an onmyoji, you know."
Then Shinichi said to Sonoko.
"Aye~ that's a scam. It must be a setup with the broadcasting station to gain topic."
As expected of the protagonist, Shinichi didn't believe in superstitions. I looked at Shinichi and said.
"There are people in the world who only believe what they can believe."
Then Sonoko said to me.
"Then, can you read our fortunes too?"
"Hmm... I usually charge money for this, but alright! As a纪念 of transferring today, I'll do it for free."
"Oh~ then read mine first. I want to know when I'll get a boyfriend!"
"Okay, but you should know. The past can't be changed, but the future can always change, so if you hear 'it will be like that' and relax without doing anything, that thing won't come true."
"Oh~ I see."
Shinichi interjected again.
"What's that, it's just saying to make an effort."
Then Ran next to him strongly poked Shinichi's side.
Poke!
"Oof!"
"Just listen, originally for things like this, you listen without doubt."
I said to Sonoko again.
"Then, I need to read your soul, so don't be surprised."
"Got it."
I placed my hand on Sonoko's head and read her memories.
"But aren't you going to chant a spell?"
"Ah~ that was just for show. Except for high-level spells, incantations aren't necessary."
"No wonder... should I say it was too childish? My friends also said, your face is totally handsome, but the spell was a bit... ruined..."
Damn... I really have no talent for making or naming spells like this. 'Sunguri Dangdang' seemed rustic and good to me.
"Now now, it's distracting for concentration. Be quiet for a bit."
"Okay."
I pretended to concentrate for a moment and then said.
"Hmm... your father is Suzuki Shiro, your mother is Suzuki Tomoko, and you're the second daughter of the Suzuki family, and best friends with Ran Mouri."
"Oh~ that's right!"
Shinichi interjected again.
"That's information you can find anywhere since the Suzuki family is so famous."
Then Ran poked Shinichi's side again.
"Listen quietly."
Poke!
"Oof!"
I slowly grabbed Sonoko's headband, took it off, and threw it into the trash.
"Ah! That headband is my favorite..."
"That headband is keeping men away. You were born with a face that drives men away if you wear something on your head."
"What? Really??"
"Yeah, wait a bit."
I took out a comb from my inventory as if from my bag and arranged Sonoko's hair.
"There! How is it?"
Ran and Shinichi looked at Sonoko's changed appearance and were amazed.
"Wow~ you've become prettier!"
"Oh~ really."
Even Shinichi had to admit it. In reality, if Sonoko let her hair down, it would make news in that country, so that says it all. I took out a mirror and handed it to Sonoko. Sonoko looked at her face in the mirror for a while and said.
"So, was it because of the headband that I had no boyfriend until now?"
"Yeah, and if you feel like you must put something on your head, use small hairpins or a hat with a large brim."
"Ah, got it."
Seeing that, Ran also asked me to read her fortune.
"Can I ask too?"
"Sure."
I placed my hand on Ran's head, and as expected, the spiky hair was just hair. I thought it was horns, so disappointing.
"Hmm... oh... wait a moment..."
I took my hand off and pretended to ponder. Then Ran looked at me with a worried face and said.
"Huh? Is something serious?"
"First, your name is Ran Mouri. Your father is Mori Kogoro, your mother is Mori Eri, and your father and mother are separated."
"Uh... that's right. Amazing."
"But you see... wait a moment."
I took out a little rice from my bag, sprinkled it on the desk, and slowly looked at it with a serious face.
"Hmm... you will marry me in five years."
"What!!!??? What did you say!!!???"
Shinichi, Ran, and Sonoko were very surprised and asked again.
"I couldn't believe it either, so I read my own fortune. It's certain."
Then Shinichi hit the desk and said angrily.
Bang!
"That's a lie!"
"It can't be helped. This is a缘分 given by heaven. Destiny, you could say?"
Ran's face turned red as she flustered. Seeing that, Shinichi sat in front of me and said.
"I can't believe it. Then, read mine too! I'll prove it's a lie!"
"Okay."
I placed my hand on Shinichi's head too.
"Hmm... to conclude, you will die within a year. No, within a month?"
"What!!!! You scammer!!!!"
As if he couldn't take it anymore, Shinichi made a face, got angry, and stood up from his seat. Then, as if a fight was about to break out, Ran and Sonoko hurriedly stopped him.
"Endure it, Shinichi."
"You're speaking too harshly."
I denied that and said.
"No, I just said what came out. And listen to the end, it might be preventable."
At those words, Shinichi tried to leave his seat as if there was no need to listen further. But looking at Shinichi, I told him.
"What I see is black and drugs. I don't know what this is, but if you're careful, you might be able to prevent it."
Ran patted Shinichi and went out of the classroom with him. Sonoko sat in front of me again.
"No matter how Shinichi acted twisted, that was a bit too much."
Sonoko seemed to think that I said those words to mess with Shinichi.
"No, it's true. Within a month, we won't be able to see Shinichi anymore."
"What? It's true?"
At those words, Sonoko was surprised and asked again.
"Yeah. That's what came out."
"Is there no way?"
"I just told you everything."
"That black and drugs?"
"Now it's up to him."
Honestly, whether Shinichi listens to my words and doesn't become Conan, or doesn't listen and becomes Conan, it doesn't matter to me.
Then lunchtime ended, and after uneventfully finishing classes, I returned home.
The next day, I arrived at school on a 50cc cuff bike, opened the 'shoe locker' that contained indoor shoes, and letters fell out in a pile.
'Ah! Is this the famous 'shoe locker love letters'? Schools in this country have surprisingly romantic aspects.'
I carried the many letters and arrived at the classroom. As I was reading them one by one, students started coming to the classroom. Sonoko with her hair down also came, and male students whispered upon seeing her.
"Isn't Sonoko super pretty today?"
"Right, with her hair like that, she's totally beautiful?"
Sonoko sat in the next seat and greeted me.
"Hello! Good morning."
"Good morning."
"But what's that?"
"Ah~ when I opened my shoe locker. Some letters..."
"Wow~ I knew you were popular, but to this extent..."
"So, about this, do I need to reply?"
"Hmm... I guess you should? But with this many, it might be tough. Still, it would be good to write short replies."
"Got it."
Then class started. Today was a day with PE class, so the boys played soccer, and Shinichi was glaring at me with scary eyes. Naturally, the girls in class cheered for me. I also waved my hand once.
"Kyaak~ Cassian-sama fighting~!"
"Cassian-sama~~!! Kyaak~!"
Unluckily for Shinichi, he was on the opposing team. I had no intention of going easy and started the match. The result was naturally 10-0. I completely crushed them. With [(SS)Sports] ability and [(SSS)Control], I could easily perform soccer techniques seen on TV, and moreover, shots went in accurately even with no spin.
"Huff huff huff... such a monster-like guy!"
Looking down at Shinichi sitting and panting, I said.
"Huhuhu~ wind is not to be calculated but overcome."
"What nonsense!"
"I felt like I had to say this. Anyway, good work."
I extended my hand to offer a handshake to Shinichi. Shinichi looked at it, hesitated for a moment, then extended his hand and accepted the handshake.
'I thought he'd be stubborn, but seems not.'
I helped Shinichi up. Then girls competitively approached and offered towels.
"Cassian, here~ you worked hard."
"Cassian~ here's water."
"Thank you all~"
Hohoho~ Hahaha~
Shinichi looked with an absurd expression for a while, then sighed and went back. Thus, PE class ended and lunchtime started. This time too, I had a delicious meal with the girls, when I heard Ran's voice.
"Really! If I win the prefectural tournament, I promised to go to Tropical Land."
"Yeah, just win. I'll take you."
"Okay! I'll do my best."
Finally, that incident is about to happen and he'll shrink, I suppose. Thus, several days passed. In between, I filmed commercials, occasionally rich people came for fortune-telling, solved minor problems, and lived like that. As a result, my fame rose even more, and I never lacked money. The manager also made a face as if he was overjoyed.
'Really... an interesting manager. When I said I wouldn't appear on broadcasts, he had a long face.'
And fitting for an onmyoji, I made many talismans. They were all fake. With Nano's help, I produced them plausibly like the talismans from movies. Shinichi tried every way to expose me as a scammer but failed repeatedly. Thus, I naturally became friends with Ran and Sonoko.
Finally, Ran started the prefectural karate tournament. It was overwhelming skill. Dodging bullets and breaking walls with bare fists, the result was natural. We cheered hard.
"Wow~ Ran is good. Strong. Could dodge bullets. Pierce with your horn!"
Sonoko heard my cheer and looked at me for a moment as if something was strange.
"Huh? Why?"
"No, that... the cheer..."
"It's all words to cheer her up."
"Th, that's right."
Sonoko cheered for Ran enthusiastically again.
