The Delinquent Student is the Savior of the World

Miku turned away and unconsciously touched the headphones on her chest with her right hand. Feeling a bit nervous, she said, "You've got the wrong person."

"That can't be right, can it? Are you really not Itsuki?"

Haruto was surprised and looked at the girl from the side. She had the same voice, the same appearance, and even the same height and figure.

There was also that unpleasant aura.

No matter how he looked at it, this was Itsuki.

Wait!

Haruto's gaze suddenly shifted to the girl's legs.

Itsuki wore knee-high socks, and sometimes a bit of skin could be seen between her skirt and stockings. But this cold and gloomy girl wore black stockings.

Besides that...

This girl's legs were proportional and slender, with perfect proportions. Upon closer inspection, the black stockings had a shiny sheen, with attractive curves, and they were relatively slim.

Hairstyles could be changed, and expressions could be disguised, but the thickness of one's legs couldn't change in a short amount of time.

Itsuki's legs were clearly rounder.

With his photographic memory, Haruto was very confident that he remembered correctly.

He confirmed, "Right, you're not Itsuki!"

Girls are particularly sensitive in certain aspects. A blush appeared on Miku's face, and she unconsciously covered her skirt.

"Inappropriate!"

Haruto snapped back to reality: "Sorry, my apologies."

'Did he really just apologize? And he doesn't seem that hard to get along with?'

Miku hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm not Itsuki."

"Sorry about that."

Haruto turned to her and asked, "You must be Itsuki's sister, right? If possible, could you tell me your name?"

Liar!

Miku didn't believe that he truly recognized her. He must have said that to save face, right?

Miku said nothing and quickened her pace.

If it were an ordinary student, Miku wouldn't mind exchanging a few more words.

"Nakano-san?"

Haruto caught up to her. "Let's walk together!"

'Why does this girl also have such a dark and unpleasant aura?'

However, Miku simply sped up, but after a few meters, she inevitably slowed down.

Her breathing became quicker.

She was obviously tired.

The corners of Haruto's mouth twitched slightly as he couldn't help but complain, "Nakano-san, your stamina is too poor. You can't even run for three minutes!"

'If you face danger, with this level of stamina, I'm afraid you won't even be able to delay it! This is quite worrying!'

Miku took several deep breaths and gave up on the idea of escaping Haruto.

Her physical strength was terrible!

But after hearing what Haruto said, Miku slightly puffed out her cheeks, feeling displeased.

'If I try harder, I'm sure I can...'

Miku's eyes shifted slightly, her right hand pressed against the headphones on her chest, and she calmly said, "I'm Itsuki."

"?"

She had just said she wasn't Itsuki, and now she was saying she was... This is so strange!

Haruto said seriously, "No, you can't be Itsuki. Itsuki sits right next to me. I can still tell the difference."

Seeing how confident he was, Miku's heart wavered a bit, then she continued speaking in a calm tone: "I'm Itsuki."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"No."

"..."

The corners of Haruto's mouth twitched as he said speechlessly, "You clearly just said no earlier."

He even began to doubt whether he remembered correctly.

But he was certain that he wouldn't mistake her!

As an Esper with photographic memory, it was impossible for him to misremember anything.

Miku held her headphones on her chest and said nothing.

This was the first time since transferring schools that she had spoken to someone for so long... even if it was out of annoyance.

The other person was clearly a delinquent, but surprisingly, he wasn't scaring her.

Miku found it strange. Upon reflection, she understood.

Just like Ichika, no matter who Haruto interacted with, even strangers he had never met before, he could handle them with ease and make people feel comfortable.

Maybe this guy was that kind of person?

Thick-skinned!

Inappropriate!

Guilty!

Moreover, this was also the first time someone was so sure she wasn't Itsuki.

To be honest, Miku felt a little happy.

But Miku still felt the other person didn't truly recognize her.

Except for her mother and grandfather, no one could tell who they were. Even with different hairstyles, it was hard for strangers to distinguish between them.

And Haruto was undoubtedly a stranger.

Seeing the girl say nothing, Haruto thought for a moment and then said seriously, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for mistaking you. I'm Kuromori Haruto from the next class. This is our first meeting. Please give me some guidance."

'Again and again. He starts the conversation?'

Miku's face warmed slightly, and she clutched her headphones tightly. Her lips moved, and she couldn't help but say, "Inappropriate."

The corners of Haruto's mouth twitched: "I object, Nakano-san, you're slandering me!"

Okay, sure, earlier it was rude of him to keep staring at another girl's legs, but now he was just introducing himself and apologizing. How was that inappropriate?

"Objection overruled!"

Miku pursed her lips and quickened her pace. A gentle breeze blew, lifting the edge of her skirt. As she passed, she left behind a light and pleasant scent.

"I... Nakano Miku."

The girl's cold voice was soft, landing gently in Haruto's ears.

"Miku?"

Haruto sighed. For some reason, as she walked past him, his heartbeat suddenly sped up.

No, no, no!

It was definitely an illusion.

Who would be attracted to a girl just because she had a pair of headphones?

It's just that people are drawn to beautiful things, leading to a minimal level of physical attraction!

Mafuyu-chan is the best in the world!

A cold and proud teacher, yet soft and cute, she was truly amazing!

Haruto entered the cafeteria, ordered an eel set, two fried chicken legs, a cup of Coke, and then found a quiet corner.

Miku glanced at him and then turned, walking in the opposite direction.

"Miku, over here."

"Miku, hurry up, you're the last one."

"Why are you so late today..."

Itsuki puffed out her cheeks. While everyone else's plates were still full, most of hers was empty.

No time to chat.

Miku sat down, and the quintuplets gathered together. They looked exactly the same, and their pretty and cute appearance drew the attention of many people.

It was unfortunate that Haruto often skipped class, so even though it had been nearly a week since the school term started, he still didn't know about the Nakano quintuplets.

Miku took a sip of matcha soda, looked at Itsuki, and said, "Itsuki, someone was able to tell us apart."

"Ehhhh?"

The girl wearing green bunny-ear accessories, Yotsuba, covered her mouth, her eyes widening in shock: "Miku, are you serious?"

"Hmm?"

Itsuki, puffing her cheeks, also looked wide-eyed and full of curiosity.
