Chapter 70:
My Telekinetic Office Lady Girlfriend Is Way Too Powerful!
“Welcome back, Shota-kun! Let’s go to the hot springs this weekend, okay? ♡”
Ryoko greeted Shota with a big hug as he walked in the door after work.
“Yay, a hot spring trip sounds awesome! Where are we going?”
“Kofu. I already booked the place♡”
“Wow… that's some serious initiative. 😅”
The two of them moved to the living room sofa.
As Ryoko pampered him, Shota kept chatting.
“But you know, this trip isn’t just about the hot springs.”
“Huh? It’s not?”
“I want to introduce you to my best friend.
She lives in Kofu now—she got married♡”
“Oh, a friend of yours? What kind of person is she?”
“I met her back when I was studying abroad in Melbourne, Australia.
Her name’s Yumi. She’s the same age as me.”
Shota remembered that Ryoko had studied abroad after graduating from med school.
“When was that exactly?”
“Well, I graduated from med school when I was 24,
so I went abroad before joining this company—about a year.”
“Did Yumi study abroad too?”
“No, she was on a working holiday visa. At first, I was staying with a host family,
but I had trouble getting along with my host mom.
I met Yumi while I was feeling down,
and she invited me to live with her in a share house in the city.”
“It’s rare for you to rely on someone like that, Senpai, lol.”
“Ufufu♡ Maybe so. But Yumi’s special.
She accepted me completely when I was lonely in a foreign country
—and we became best friends.”
“So since you lived together, she knows about your powers too…”
“Of course. Just like you, Shota-kun,
Yumi didn’t freak out when she saw my abilities.
She’s one of the few who didn’t.”
“Sounds like I’ll learn a lot about you from her.
I’m looking forward to meeting her!”
“Ufufu♡ She said she’s really looking forward to meeting you too♡”

【Off to Kofu】Under Kofu’s crisp autumn sky, Ryoko and Shota transferred trains and arrived at a small family-owned winery. Their goal: to meet Yumi, Ryoko’s old share house roommate from Melbourne.
“I wonder how many years it’s been since I last saw Yumi… I’m kinda nervous.”
“What kind of person is she?”
“Hm… if I had to sum her up: she’s got nerves of steel and she’s totally nuts.
One of the few people who knows my secret.”
Yumi now runs a small winery with her husband Mark and their 3-year-old son, Ren.
Ryoko wore a breezy early-summer outfit: a thin white blouse, a mint-green long skirt, and a beige linen shirt to block the sun.
Shota wore a light blue open-collar shirt, off-white chinos, and clean white sneakers—casual but tidy.
As they reached the vineyard, a cheerful woman waved at them from across the field—that was Yumi.
“RYOKOooo!! OMG, you really came!!”
Yumi appeared wearing denim overalls and a white T-shirt, sunglasses perched on her head, rocking a carefree, casual look.
The two hugged energetically. The vibe was so intense, all Shota could do was hang back and watch.
“Wait, who’s this handsome fella? Your new pet?—Oops, I mean, boyfriend?”
“Hey! Quit it, Yumi!”
“...Nice to meet you. I’m Shota Sasaki.”
At that moment, Yumi’s smile froze.
“...What did you just say? Sa…saki… Shota…? What!?”
While Ryoko and Shota stared blankly, Yumi pulled out her phone and scrolled through her emails—
“Whaaaat… Shota, as in… my brother Shota!?”
And then burst into laughter.
“No freaking way!! I was cheering for my best friend’s boyfriend and didn’t even realize he was my little brother!? BAHAHAHA!!”
Shota: “Wha… what…? Sis…?”
Yumi grinned ear to ear and declared:
“Sorry for the late intro—name’s Mayumi Sasaki, Shota’s big sister!”
____________________________________________________________________________________
Ryoko: “Wait, WHAT!? Yumi is Mayumi-san!?”
Mayumi: “Yeah, I was kinda doing my own thing. I figured I didn’t need the ‘Ma’ which means the ‘serious’ kanji my parents gave me, so I just went by ‘Yumi’ in Australia.”
Ryoko: “Aahaha! What are the odds!? Yumi’s Shota-kun’s big sister!?”
Shota: “I never imagined my sister and Senpai would know each other…”
Ryoko: “Not just know each other, Shota-kun. Yumi is my best friend♡ And now I realize—the sister you mentioned who announced her wedding and her kid at your dad’s 60th birthday party was…”
Shota: “Yeah… That was this Mayumi-neechan. 😅”
Mayumi: “That’s how Shota introduced me!? That’s freakin’ hilarious, omg! LOL!”

【The Truly Dangerous Side of Ryoko】Mayumi brought them over to a BBQ table set up in a corner of the property.
“So, you two already registered your marriage and live together, right? Meaning, Shota, you already know just how nuts she is, and married her anyway?”
Ryoko casually flicked her finger, making an empty wine bottle float with telekinesis. “Like this? ♡”
Mayumi: “No, I know about the powers and hormones and all that—but I’m talking about her personality. That’s what’s really dangerous!”
Ryoko: “Wait, what? ”
Shota averted his gaze. (Yeah… I know…)
Mayumi: “Ryoko’s got a crazy strong possessive streak, and she’s got this sneaky, two-faced selfishness.
If you don’t keep it together, she’ll totally dominate and toy with you every day!”
Shota lowered his head. (Yup, dead-on, sis. That’s already happening…)
Ryoko: “Ufufu♡ Shota-kun… I can totally feel your intense ‘100% agreement’ vibes♡”
Shota: “Hiiiii!!”
