"But nobody wants this, right?"
"It looks like a hot commodity."
Upon hearing this, Nao Tomori started gesturing excitedly and continued speaking.
"Really? I got praised! That's great!"
"Yada~".
While Nao Tomori might genuinely be happy to be complimented on her beauty, there's likely an element of exaggerated performance involved.
Thinking about her past and present loneliness, Otosaka Souji guessed that this might be her way of hiding her inner loneliness.
Although it might seem exaggerated and pretentious, she was really cute like that, and Otosaka Souji felt her heart being touched again.
Yu Dong was puzzled when he saw Tomori Nao dancing around excitedly after he praised her, and he scolded her loudly.
"Hey! So, get out of here now."
At this moment, Otosaka Souji appeared.
The commander misused his time stop watch, paused time, then walked up to Yudo and snatched the photo from his hand.
Ahem, actually, Otosaka Souji wasn't curious about what was in the photo; he simply wanted to help Tomori Nao resolve this matter quickly.
After all, it's not really appropriate to leave everything to the chairman alone.
Otosaka Souji glanced at the photo, and once he started looking at it, he couldn't stop.
"This is so beautiful!"
After seeing the photo, Otosaka Souji had the idea of keeping it as a keepsake.
It would be such a waste if I gave it to Nao Tomori and she destroyed it.
If you have an idea, you should take action. Otosaka Souji is very proactive; once he has an idea, he does it.
Otosaka Souji hid the photo.
After hiding the photos, Otosaka Souji thought of something else.
"The photos are missing. If Nao Tomori suspects that I took them, it will be a real problem."
There were only four people present. If the photo were to disappear, Otosaka Souji would be the most capable of taking it away.
If Nao Tomori becomes suspicious and wary, it will be difficult for Otosaka Souji to make a move. Just thinking about it makes me feel terrible.
Fortunately, since we can't take the photo away, we can just make a copy of it.
After returning to the scene after making the copy, Otosaka Souji looked at Yuuto, who had short red hair and was holding a bow and arrow, and sighed.
"Oh, I never expected this, Shirou, that you've fallen into depravity too."
With his short red hair and handsome face, he really looks like Shirou Emiya.
It's a pity that he has the appearance of Shirou Emiya, but does the things that Shinji Matou would do.
He could easily hook up with a bunch of rich and beautiful women if he just kept practicing high jump; they probably don't lack that kind of money anyway.
Sigh, it's such a pity.
I pressed the stop button again, and time started flowing again.
When they saw Otosaka Souji suddenly appear, Tomori Nao and Yuuto were both surprised and couldn't understand how he had appeared.
However, before they could think further, Otosaka Souji tossed the photo in his hand to Tomori Nao.
"I'm so excited to receive the photos," said Nao Tomori.
"Nice, well done."
You Dong realized what was happening, saw that his hand was empty, and said in a panic.
"Damn it, the photos..."
Nao Tomori's expression changed instantly, and she said coldly.
"It's a checkmate, give up."
Having exhausted all other options, he tried to raise his bow and arrow to threaten and intimidate Nao Tomori.
However, just as he raised it and pulled the crescent moon, Otosaka Souji stopped him.
Otosaka Souji placed his hand on Yuuto's arm and said.
"No, Shirou Emiya."
He couldn't understand why he was called Emiya Shirou, but he still didn't want to give up.
"How about we pretend it never happened?"
At that moment, Nao Tomori suddenly lowered her head and said with a dark expression.
"Trying to aim an arrow at someone is really terrible."
Then, Nao Tomori became extremely angry, stomped her feet on the floor, and shouted loudly.
"Don't you have any samurai spirit at all?"
Seeing this, Nao Tomori was moved, and Otosaka Souji and Takagi Joujirou were all frightened.
"That's what Nao Tomori said after she calmed down."
“We won’t hand you over to the police. However, if you continue to use this ability, your life will become chaotic. Do you want to become experimental material and be dissected by scientists?”
"Dissect it!"
"So we're here to warn you that this power will disappear after puberty. As for money, please earn it through normal part-time jobs."
Upon hearing this, You Dong finally stopped resisting, admitted his mistake, and vowed never to use his abilities again.
Throughout the process, Otosaka Souji saw Tomori Nao first appear cute and endearing in a childlike voice, then adopt a serious and cold tone, and later even display an angry and loud reprimanding expression, but in the end, she was able to calm down and persuade him.
No wonder he was chosen as the student council president of Star Ocean Academy; he is indeed very capable.
Otosaka Souji silently pondered and recalled Tomori Nao's performance today.
First, they act cute to lower others' guard, then they film themselves with a camera and reveal the irrefutable evidence they found to further test others' bottom line and obtain some necessary intelligence.
Then, use a serious and cold tone to provoke the other person into anger and break their defenses. Just when the other person is about to do something rash, shout in a furious and enraged tone, completely breaking their defenses and intimidating them.
Finally, after calming down, I explained the pros and cons, why I did what I did, so that he realized his mistake and promised not to use his ability again.
