I, the only superpower on earth

Six pm.

After school at Jingtai Academy, the girls headed towards the legendary bookstore with a clear goal.

But next to another girl who was chattering excitedly, Manami Mizuhara, who had been browsing the mobile phone forum, seemed a little depressed.

"Oh, Xiao Ma, how handsome do you think the store manager will be?"

The girl dressed in the style of a hot girl pulled Manami Mizuhara and expressed her longing. Her name is Yoshiko Okuyama, and she is Mizuhara Manami's childhood sweetheart, and the two have been neighbors since childhood.

Although as they got older, the two parties gradually showed different sides of their interests, but because of their friendship when they were young, Manami Mizuhara still maintained a friendship with Ryoko Okuyama.

Of course, most of this is because Mizuhara Mana, who loves ghosts, ghosts, aliens, urban legends, and reads all kinds of strange records and mystery novels, is always alone in school, so there is no one other than Yoshiko Okuyama. How many people will be friends with her.

Yoshiko Okuyama is different. She is an extrovert and is keen on various social activities. She is very popular because of her good looks. She has dated three boyfriends in elementary school alone. Not to mention high school now.

Recalling the memories of the past in her heart, Mizuhara Manami replied with dead fish eyes after hearing Okuyama Yoshiko's question:

"It doesn't matter if you're handsome or not...it's all the same to me anyway. You just need to be happy, Yoshiko."

"——how can you say that, today is just to see the face. But Xiao Ma, why did you call me by my real name again? Didn't I say that, you want to call me Lucia!"

Yoshiko Okuyama pouted unhappily.

Maybe because she thinks the name "Ryoko" is too vulgar, she has not allowed her peers to call herself that since the second grade of junior high school. Instead, let her companions and friends call her "Lucia", probably because she thinks the foreign name in katakana is very stylish.

However, in the view of Mizuhara Manami, the two names "Lucia" and "Ryoko" are equally bad.

"Yes, yes, Lucia..."

Mana replied helplessly.

"However, why do you need to look at his face? Since the rumors in the academy have spread to such an extent, there should be a photo of him on the Internet. Isn't it good to just look at the photo?"

Yoshiko Okuyama immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"Little Mochi is too simple. The current Internet photoshoot technology can completely turn the comedian uncle into a Johnny idol. Not to mention the recent advances in AI technology, even videos can be synthesized. And I heard that the store manager doesn't like other people. I took pictures of him, so the photos that can be seen on the Internet are only profiles, or backs, which are completely unclear."

"That's it..."

Mizuhara Manami nodded as if she understood.

In fact, she wasn't interested at all.

However, this was Ryoko's invitation after all—no, Lucia's invitation, so she could only accompany her there while scrolling through her favorite paranormal forums.

"Look, Xiao Ma, the bookstore is here!"

Yoshiko Okuyama shook her arm excitedly, and Manami followed the direction her finger was pointing at——

"Suyu Bookstore"

The store name written in Chinese characters is impressively displayed on the signboard.

...

"hiss……"

Walking into the bookstore together with Yoshiko Okuyama, the moment she stepped in, Manami could clearly hear the sound of breathing in her mouth, which she was trying to suppress.

Looking back, I saw Yoshiko Okuyama's eyes seemed to be heart-shaped.

"How about it...Xiao Ma, this shop owner is really handsome! He is more attractive than the people in Genesis—"

"Well……"

Following Yoshiko Okuyama's eyes, there is a young man sitting behind the counter of the bookstore who seems to be resting with his eyes closed.

That young man should be the manager of this "Suyu Bookstore".

how to say……

Although she thought she didn't care about the appearance of men, when Mizuhara Manami saw the young man's face, she was still slightly taken aback.

——From the outline of the face and the proportions of the facial features, the youth is not that kind of indistinguishable softness.

However, after combining the facial features, the young man's appearance has an indescribable sense of naturalness. In addition, his skin texture looks very delicate. It seems that there is a kind of innocent and handsome temperament...

"This kind of temperament is like the 'Yumu Tuoliu God' in "Ancient Matters"..."

Manami Mizuhara, who memorized all kinds of myths, legends, and fantasy stories, subconsciously compared the gods in the myths with the young man in front of her.

But while she was still thinking, Yoshiko Okuyama who was beside her had already taken her hand and rushed to the young man:

"Shop Manager Sang..."

A soft smile appeared on Yoshiko Okuyama's face, and as soon as she saw this smile, Manami knew that this childhood sweetheart must have been severely moved this time.

However, after looking around the interior of the bookstore for a week, she found that a series of eyes had already looked over.

From the rows of bookshelves in the bookstore, from the chairs next to the tables, more than a dozen girls with different appearances are standing or sitting. His eyes were fixed on Manami and Ryoko.

"These girls...couldn't all be attracted by this store manager?"

Manami shivered, and pulled Ryoko's hand, trying to remind her to pay attention, but Ryoko flattered the young man and chatted:

"Shop manager Sang, store manager Sang—"

"Are you two here to buy books?"

The young man turned around from the posture of closing his eyes and meditating, and asked calmly.

"No! We came here specially to meet the store manager Sang... because I heard that he is super-handsome! I didn't expect that he is even more handsome than I imagined-it really made me dokidoki!"

Manami wanted to cover her face, but Ryoko's shameless words made her feel her face turn red.

Moreover, the murderous stares cast by the other girls in the store made her want to immediately find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

However, should it be said to be bold or shameless? Ryoko completely ignored the gazes of those girls, and continued to approach the young man with a calm attitude.

"This store only provides services for borrowing and purchasing books. Do you want to read or buy books?"

The young man had a cold attitude.

But Liangzi was not discouraged.

"Hey, shop manager Sang, I'll buy some crepes for you to eat, okay? I know there's a shop that's especially delicious—we can sing K together after we're done eating."

"This store only provides services for borrowing and purchasing books. Please do not enter if you have other irrelevant matters."

Ryoko seemed to turn a deaf ear to it, and leaned closer, staring carefully at the nameplate on the young man's chest.

"Hey...the name is 'Lucia', what's the name of the store manager Sang? Let me see, it turns out that the store manager Sang's name is 'xigu'... Xi, Gu... is this the pronunciation? So the store Long is from the Dragon Kingdom, that’s great, I like the Dragon Kingdom people the most!”

Ryoko happily covered her mouth, but Mana knew that this was a lie.

——Only a month ago, the guy next to him posted on ins that "there are too many Ryugu people in Shibuya, so it always stinks there in summer". However, within a month, she actually said something like a goodwill ambassador of the Dragon Kingdom.

So fickle, even if she was just a bystander, Manami felt ashamed for her, but Yoshiko was able to say it brazenly and without blushing, and Manami felt that the air she breathed in her nasal cavity was a little sticky.

The vision projected from the surrounding area is getting denser and denser, like a laser beam being shot.

The store manager named "Xigu" was expressionless and just repeated:

"This store only provides services for borrowing and purchasing books. Please do not enter if you have other irrelevant matters."

"Hey, no, I want to be with you..."

Liangzi is still not discouraged, and wants to make a final effort.

But at this moment, those girls finally broke out——

"Hey, hey, where did the trash girl come from! Don't make such a noise in His Majesty Xigu's bookstore!"

"That's right, don't defile this quiet holy place!"

"Sow, how dare you use your dirty body to get close to His Highness Xigu!"

Facing the angry girls, Manako felt overwhelmed, but Yoshiko beside him showed no fear, and retorted:

"Hmph, a bunch of ugly monsters. They obviously dare not approach the store manager Sang because of low self-esteem and can only peep with a book, but they mock beautiful women like me who dare to express themselves positively. You are a bunch of cowardly sows!"

"What did you say?!!"

The girls got angry, and rushed over one by one, gathered around, and the quarrel with Ryoko became more and more urgent. Mana really wanted to smooth things over, but she didn't know what to do.

The smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger, and no one on both sides wants to take a step back. Just when the emotion reaches its peak, the anger burns the mind, and the physical collision between the women is about to occur——

"The store only provides services for borrowing and purchasing books. Please solve irrelevant matters outside the store."

Accompanied by the indifferent voice of the young man, Manami Mizuhara suddenly found that her body had left the ground.

Eh?

Ehhhhh?

No, it's not just her—even Ryoko and the other girls left their feet off the ground one by one, and then came outside the store.

——That young man actually threw them all out of the bookstore one by one!

Then, with a "ding", "Suyu Bookstore" closed the glass door and locked it. And put a "Our store is closed" sign behind the door.

On the street outside the store, Manami looked at Ryoko, and the two of them looked at each other with the other girls. The latter's anger had disappeared, probably because he became sober after the cold wind blowing, with a frustrated expression on his face.

"Hmph, it's because of this kind of sow girl... that she showed such an unbearable side in front of His Majesty Xigu."

"That's right... woo, I can only leave today."

The girls got up one by one, and tremblingly left the street where the bookstore was located like a dying willow. Ryoko curled her lips in disdain, but after glancing back at the bookstore, her expression became a little downcast:

"Hey, even though he's a handsome guy, he's also too ungentle. He actually threw him outside the bookstore. There's nothing we can do. Let's leave first, Xiao Ma...Hmm? Xiao Ma?"

After Yoshiko Okuyama yelled a few times, Manami Mizuhara came back to her senses.

"Ah-ahh? Okay, let's leave first... Lucia."

"Hey, did you call it right this time?!"

Faced with Yoshiko Okuyama's surprised smile, Manami Mizuhara smiled reluctantly, took her hand, and stood up together.

But in the process of leaving, when Yoshiko Okuyama was not paying attention, she turned her head and looked at the bookstore, remembering the things she saw just outside the bookstore that caught her attention.

"That... really makes people care..."
