Episode 59 - Ryoko and Shota’s High School Days (Part 4)

【Shota in Trouble!】

Ever since they started dating, Ryoko and Shota had been inseparable.

They ate lunch together, walked home together, and spent as much of their breaks together as possible.

(Aahh… High school Shota-kun is just too cute!)

Ryoko was thoroughly enjoying her high school life.

But their lovey-dovey time was stirring up the jealousy of one particular guy.

One day after school, Shota was summoned behind the gym.

Waiting for him was Sugimoto, a third-year student on the rugby team.

“…Senpai, what do you want from me?”

Shota asked cautiously. Sugimoto crossed his arms and smirked.

“I heard you're dating Ryoko-san.”

“Yes, that’s right!”

“…Hah.”

Sugimoto snorted—and the next instant—

Thud!

He grabbed Shota by the collar.

“There's no way someone like you is actually dating Ryoko-san!”

“…!”

“You’re probably just some annoying stalker, right?”

“That’s not true! Ryoko-senpai chose me—she really means it!”

Shota pushed back with all his might.

“That’s why—I’m not giving Ryoko-senpai to anyone!”

Those words made Sugimoto’s expression change.

“…Oh?”

And the next moment—

“Then show me with strength!”

Sugimoto’s fist came crashing down toward Shota—!!

【Ryoko Doesn't Even Need Superpowers to Be Strong】

Thud!

The difference in physique was too great.

Despite trying to resist, Shota was knocked to the ground.

“That’s enough ♡”

A beautiful voice, clear as a bell, rang out.

Sugimoto turned around—standing there in a sailor uniform was Takahashi Ryoko.

“…Ryoko-san!?”

Shock washed over Sugimoto’s face.

Ryoko slowly walked up to him and gently touched his arm with a soft smile.

“Hey, Sugimoto-kun… do you like me that much?”

“Uh—huh?”

She trailed a finger down his chest and whispered sweetly.

“Because you're going through all this trouble for me, right?”

Sugimoto’s face turned bright red.

“W-Well… yeah… I mean, I do like you…”

(Yup, just like that♡)

Ryoko stepped closer, lowering her lips toward his ear on purpose.

“You know, I like it when men treat me gently ♡”

“…Huh?”

And in the very next instant—

WHAM!!!

A perfectly aimed kick straight to the groin.

“GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!”

Sugimoto crumpled to the ground in agony.

“Phew…”

Ryoko calmly adjusted the hem of her skirt, then looked down at the writhing Sugimoto with a serene smile.

“Gentlemen should treat a lady right, don’t you think? ♡”

Then she ran over to Shota and offered her hand.

“You okay, Shota-kun? ♡”

“…Ryoko-senpai, you’re so cool…”

Despite the pain, Shota murmured from the bottom of his heart.

Even without her powers, Ryoko was unstoppable.
