She only remembered one thing—that intense, soul-stirring feeling of being "heart-fluttering" just now.

And the source of this feeling is right in front of us.

So, she naturally got up from the ground, like a sunflower that had found the sun, and affectionately and with a strong sense of dependence, she tugged at Gu Chuan's clothes.

She lifted her still flushed face and, in a dreamlike tone, filled with lingering reminiscence, whispered:

"Gu Chuan, that feeling just now... was amazing..."

"boom--!"

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck Yukino Yukinoshita precisely on the top of her head.

Her hand, which was about to press the alarm button, froze in mid-air.

She stiffly turned her head, looking at Fujiwara Chika's completely dependent, even somewhat infatuated, expression, and then at Gu Chuan's... in her eyes, a face full of "post-coital composure."

A terrifying, yet logically "reasonable" conclusion was firmly formed in her mind.

This man...

He not only did excessive things to Fujiwara, but also used some unknown and clever means to make her dependent on him, making her misunderstand that pain and humiliation as a feeling of power!

This wasn't just a simple act of perversion; it was a power she couldn't comprehend.

A demonic power that can manipulate others' senses at will, distort their perceptions, and even make victims addicted to it.

An unprecedented fear, far exceeding anger, gripped Yukino's heart like a cold vine.

For the first time, she realized that she might not be facing a scumbag, but an unknown monster disguised as a human!

Call the police?

The idea seemed utterly ridiculous to her.

Call the police about someone who makes others feel pleasure from humiliation? What will happen when the police arrive?

Just because he said a few words, he turned around and arrested me as a mental patient?

She slowly, almost tremblingly, put away her phone, uttering each word carefully.

Those eyes, once burning with the flames of justice, were now consumed by chilling fear.

She looked at Gu Chuan and couldn't help but give an awkward but polite smile.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now. I'll leave now."

Gu Chuan: "?"

21 Sweet Trouble

The next day, at Shuchiin Academy.

The sun shines brightly, and the cherry blossoms remain in full bloom, but for some on campus, the undercurrents of the world have already begun to stir.

The misunderstanding involving Yukino Yukinoshita is like a pebble thrown into water, stirring up ripples of "warning" in the calm lake of her heart.

She began to deliberately keep her distance from Gu Chuan, but behind that cold gaze was a constant and meticulous observation.

She was like a hunter lurking in the shadows, trying to find flaws in every movement and micro-expression of her target, piecing together the true face of the so-called "monster".

However, before she could even begin her investigation, another, more direct and chaotic problem had already found its way to Gu Chuan.

Fujiwara Chika finds the world to be boring.

After experiencing the extreme sensory stimulation "guided" by Gu Chuan that made her soul tremble, she found that the happiness she took for granted was fading rapidly.

Her favorite forbidden ramen tasted bland after tasting it, losing the impact that used to make her so happy she could dance with joy.

The board game she invented, which could throw the president and Kaguya into chaos, also became boring and could no longer bring her pure joy.

Her sensory threshold was raised once and irreversibly.

As a creature that follows instinct and forever pursues the purest joy, Fujiwara Chika naturally attributed the root of the problem and the only solution to the same person—Gu Chuan.

She attributed that wonderful feeling to Gu Chuan's dating guidance and firmly believed that as long as she took more of these courses, she would definitely be able to master the secret to making her heart race!

Thus began a full-scale manhunt and interception of Gu Chuan.

During the morning break, just as Gu Chuan was about to buy a can of black coffee from the vending machine, a pink figure "teleported" to him from around the corner of the corridor like a cannonball.

"Gu Chuan!"

Fujiwara Chika clasped her hands together and looked at him with sparkling eyes full of endless anticipation. "Is there a new 'heart-fluttering course' today? I went back and studied it yesterday, and I feel that I have mastered the 'beginner experience' from last time. Can I move on to the next stage?"

"Interesting Courses?"

Gu Chuan felt a throbbing sensation in his temples.

"There is no such course, Secretary Fujiwara."

Gu Chuan tried to make his tone sound calm and detached, "Yesterday was just an accident. You were probably just too tired and had some illusions."

"It's not just my imagination!"

Fujiwara Chika puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction. "That feeling was so real! My heart can still remember that 'thump thump thump' rhythm! Please, Gu Chuan, guide me one more time!"

As she spoke, she naturally took Gu Chuan's arm and gently shook it, completely ignoring the gossipy glances from the surrounding students that were full of "I see" expressions.

To onlookers, it was clearly a couple in the throes of new love, playfully bickering.

Student council secretary Fujiwara Chika is launching a sweet and coquettish attack on the general affairs officer Gu Chuan.

Gu Chuan was thoroughly annoyed by this sweet trouble.

He subtly withdrew his arm, quickened his pace, and practically fled.

All of this was observed by Yukino Yukinoshita, who was pretending to discuss a problem with her classmates not far away.

It has begun... Yukino's eyes narrowed slightly, and her inner analysis began automatically.

This is a typical first stage of PUA—giving the victim an unprecedented experience to make them dependent.

Now, he has begun to use the second stage technique—playing hard to get—using apparent rejection to deepen the victim's desire for that 'special experience'.

What a brilliant tactic!

Lunch break, in the cafeteria.

To avoid Fujiwara, Gu Chuan deliberately chose the most secluded corner.

However, less than three minutes after he sat down, a familiar figure carrying a tray sat down opposite him with a smile. (VI) Chess? Leading Emu Ba Si Temple.

"Gu Chuan, what a coincidence, you're eating here too."

Fujiwara Chika poked at the rice in her bowl with her spoon and sighed in frustration. "Sigh, today's lunch has no flavor at all. Whether it's the hamburger patty or the fried shrimp, it all tastes like chewing wax. Yesterday's 'excitement' is much more memorable."

As she spoke, she looked at Gu Chuan with her big, watery eyes, full of expectation, the subtext of which was self-evident.

Gu Chuan felt his head hurt even more.

He quickly finished his lunch without tasting it, and before Fujiwara Chika could react, he got up again and "escaped" the scene.

This scene was clearly seen by Yukino, who was sitting not far away, having a meal with the members of the Service Club.

No cold (six) = Four willows enterprise shrimp and peel wrong, which is consistent with my judgment.

Yukino analyzed calmly. By denying the victim's enjoyment in real life, he reinforced the uniqueness and irreplaceability of the 'false happiness' he provided, thus making the victim completely dependent on him emotionally. Fujiwara Secretary was already deeply entangled in it.

Seeing the dejected, almost abandoned look on Fujiwara Chika's face after Gu Chuan left, her wariness of Gu Chuan increased once again.

But at the same time, a new, minor point of conflict began to sprout in her mind.

strangeness……

In the afternoon, while processing documents in the student council room, Yukino took the opportunity of reporting on her work to "observe" Gu Chuan up close.

She saw that when Fujiwara Chika once again used the excuse of "discussing new rules for the board game" to stick to Gu Chuan's side and keep asking all sorts of strange questions about "how to make the game more 'bang bang bang'", a genuine, unfake expression of extreme helplessness and headache flashed across Gu Chuan's face.

There was even a hint of...pleading in his eyes.

It was as if they were praying that someone would come and take this troublesome guy away.

This... doesn't make sense. For the first time, Yukino's judgment wavered slightly.

If he truly enjoys and revels in this process of manipulating people's hearts, why would he display such a helpless expression, as if he were being pestered by a bratty kid?

A successful, high-level mind controller should not show such disgust towards their own 'work'.

Is he acting?

Is it a deliberate act of creating a flaw to mislead oneself as a potential threat?

Or is there... some hidden story that I haven't yet come to understand?

Yukino blinked.

She felt like a detective investigating a serial killer case, where all the evidence pointed to the same suspect, but some of the suspect's reactions fundamentally contradicted the psychological profile model of the criminal.

This contradiction made her increasingly uneasy and curious.

She knew that to unravel this mystery, she had to go further.

I must... personally contact this "anomaly" named Gu Chuan, a place shrouded in contradictions and mystery.

Warning about chat groups 22

After much effort, Gu Chuan finally managed to extricate himself from Fujiwara Chika's supernova-like enthusiasm by saying that he needed to prepare a project for the school festival that would definitely surprise everyone.

He found a moment of peace in a corner of the student council room, let out a long sigh, and felt more exhausted than fixing a world.

He immersed himself in the "Cross-Dimensional Film Viewing Club," and sometimes it was more relaxing to be in a chat group.

However, as soon as he entered the group chat, he noticed that the atmosphere was somewhat unusual.

[Gem Magician: Hey, anyone there? @Observer, you idiot, did you run out of energy after creating a new theory and just pass out? You haven't said a word for almost a day.]

[Butterfly Dance: @Observer, sir, are you alright? Have you encountered any trouble?]

[Sword Dao Shura: Judging from the strength Mr. Observer has displayed, he shouldn't encounter much trouble. Perhaps he's just conducting a deeper analysis.]

[Ice Queen: Tsk tsk, maybe she finds communicating with mortals too boring and is too lazy to show up.]

Gu Chuan found it somewhat amusing to read the comments from the girls in the group, which ranged from concern and speculation to arrogance.

He didn't expect that just being bothered by Secretary Fujiwara for a day in the real world would already spark so much discussion in the group.

He decided to end his diving career.

[Observer: I'm fine. Just dealing with some... routine chores.]

[Jewel Magician: Everyday trifles? Could you, a master who can effortlessly improve magic systems, disappear for an entire day? I don't believe it! Did you secretly go to another world to do something big?]

Rin Tohsaka's tone was full of doubt.

As Gu Chuan looked at the chat box, Fujiwara Chika's face, which seemed to say "Let's have another heart-fluttering lesson," and Yukino Yukinoshita's cold gaze as she looked at him as a "scumbag," came to mind, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of exhaustion.

He sighed and decided to confide his troubles, half-jokingly and half-jokingly.

[Observer: If I had to put it that way, I'd say I'm entangled with a pink-haired secretary who's developed a dependence on the feeling of 'rapid heartbeat'.]

The moment the message was sent, the chat group fell into an eerie silence that lasted for half a minute.

What followed was a volcanic eruption of posts flooding the screen.

[Gem Magician: ...Huh?!]

[Butterfly Dance: Huh?! Is it... what we're thinking?]

[Sword Dao Asura: Dependence... Heart racing... This...]

The girls in the group were all dumbfounded.

In an instant, they conjured up a thousand words of indescribable scenarios in their minds.

That aloof, mysterious observer, who looked down upon all living beings like a god, actually... encountered such a scandalous incident in the real world?

This stark contrast had an even stronger impact on their worldview than the concept editors.

[Gem Magician: I-I didn't expect...you, who seem so serious, to be so cunning in private?!]

[Butterfly Dance: Although I don't quite understand... but for a girl to feel dependent on someone, Mr. Gu Chuan must be a very gentle person...]

Shinobu Kocho's focus is always so unique.
