Miko couldn't help but think that, at this rate, it wouldn't be long before more people in their class completely lost their sanity.
And by then…
Even if they wanted to stop it, it might already be too late.
Miko wasn't soone who could just stand by and watch people self-destruct. Beside her, Hana, while a little dense, was also a kind-hearted person at her core.
So when Miko voiced her concerns, Hana imdiately nodded in agreent.
"You're absolutely right. We need to do sothing about Kawakami Tomie!"
Of course, they couldn't deal with Kawakami Tomie themselves, but they knew soone who could—Ryuji.
In the eyes of both girls, Ryuji was practically omnipotent.
If it was sothing no one else could do, Ryuji could. And if it was sothing Ryuji couldn't handle, then no one else could, either.
Their only worry now was how to get Kawakami Tomie to et Ryuji.

By the ti school let out in the afternoon, Miko and Hana had already spent most of the day trying to approach Kawakami Tomie.
But during the lunch break, they couldn't even get close.
Tomie had been completely surrounded by her male admirers, with layers of classmates practically forming a human wall around her. There was no opportunity to talk to her, let alone convince her to leave with them.
Sotis, Miko thought, the persistence of these "lovesick puppies" was truly on another level.
Now, as students began heading ho, Tomie, who wasn't part of any clubs, was leaving the school alone.
This finally gave Miko and Hana a chance.
---
"Huh?"
Tomie frowned slightly when she noticed two figures blocking her path just as she was about to leave the campus.
It was Miko and Hana.
Tomie's expression didn't change, but her thoughts turned. She didn't know these two girls well. As far as she was concerned, they were just background noise in her class.
But… they were girls, weren't they?
And Tomie knew better than anyone how girls tended to feel about her.
Boys were obsessed with her, consud with the desire to possess her.
Girls, on the other hand, were overwheld with jealousy, wanting nothing more than to kill her.
"So, do the two of you want to kill too?"
Although that's what she thought, Tomie didn't let her suspicions show. Her expression remained calm, and her tone was playful, even curious.
"What do you want?"
Her question was delivered casually, but there was a flicker of amusent in her eyes.
Tomie didn't fear death. Why would she?
After all, she couldn't die.
In fact, she found it endlessly entertaining to watch others unravel after they killed her. She thrived on the chaos, on the way people's lives fell apart because of her.
For Tomie, destruction wasn't just an inevitability—it was a thrill.
---
"Do you know Ryuji?" Miko asked, cutting straight to the point.
"???"
Tomie blinked, caught off guard by the question.
The na sounded familiar, but why would they bring it up?
After a mont, she shrugged lightly and replied, "I've heard of him. He's pretty famous around here, isn't he?"
While Tomie had never t Ryuji personally, she couldn't avoid hearing about him. After all, the live broadcast of his battle had been the talk of the school.
Everyone knew about him—the "Great God" who walked among them.
The rumors about him were as exaggerated as they were fantastical.
So called him the destroyer of worlds. Others claid he transcended ti and space, ruling as the supre king of all things.
Though Ryuji himself paid no attention to these titles, he didn't bother correcting them either.
To him, how others viewed him was irrelevant. If soone ever dared to challenge him, well… he'd deal with them swiftly.
"Why do you bring him up?" Tomie asked, her voice indifferent, as though the ntion of Ryuji's na ant little to her.
---
"It's like this," Miko began, already prepared with her explanation. She and Hana had planned what to say beforehand, so her tone was calm and composed.
"We're pretty close to Ryuji, and he asked us to et you on his behalf."
"et ?"
Tomie tilted her head slightly, the faintest glimr of surprise crossing her face.
But then, as she thought about it, her surprise quickly morphed into satisfaction.
Well, isn't that just reasonable?
After all, she was Tomie—the most beautiful and extraordinary being in the world.
Who wouldn't want to et her?
To her, this was nothing surprising. It was only natural for people to be drawn to her, to be unable to resist her allure.
Tomie had never t Ryuji, but she knew of his reputation. And the thought of the school's most famous boy falling for her filled her with glee.
If soone as powerful and untouchable as Ryuji becos my dog, how amusing would that be?
A sly smile spread across Tomie's face, her mind filling with ideas.
Vanity was one of her defining traits. The idea of bringing soone like Ryuji under her control fed directly into her inflated ego.
But outwardly, Tomie maintained her usual air of superiority. Crossing her arms, she said in a proud tone, "If he wants to see , why doesn't he co to himself?"
---
"Uh…"
Miko and Hana were montarily at a loss.
How were they supposed to explain that Ryuji didn't see her as anything more than a minor inconvenience, let alone worth eting in person?
But before they could think of a response, Tomie seed to co to her own conclusion.
"Oh, I get it!" she exclaid, her expression lighting up with realization.
"???"
The two girls exchanged confused looks.
"Of course," Tomie continued, speaking more to herself than to them. "He's shy, isn't he?"
"Shy?"
"That must be it!" Tomie said with a knowing nod, her voice filled with confidence.
"After all, I'm so beautiful. If he wants to et , it's only natural that he'd feel embarrassed. He probably doesn't have the courage to co see in person, so he sent you two instead."
"Uh…"
Miko and Hana were rendered speechless.
Tomie's self-assurance was almost awe-inspiring, in the worst possible way.
Her confidence in her own beauty was so unshakable, so completely detached from reality, that they didn't even know how to respond.
Leaning close to Miko's ear, Hana whispered, "I want to kill her even more now."
"Sa here," Miko muttered back, her tone equally exasperated.
