Chapter 86:
My Telekinetic Office Lady Girlfriend Is Way Too Powerful!
—A certain April day. After arriving at Tokyo Station, Ryoko transferred to the Yamanote Line bound for Shinagawa.
“Phew… So I’ve finally made it this far.”
Today was the entrance ceremony for Sunrise Global Trading.
The event was being held with great fanfare. All around, nervous yet hopeful young recruits in fresh suits made their way toward the venue.
Among them, one individual stood out unmistakably.
She wore a black, collarless pantsuit and plain beige pumps. There was nothing flashy about her attire—and yet, her polished elegance made it impossible not to stare.
Her translucent skin, sharply defined brows, confident eyes—and a faint, composed smile on her lips. Her posture alone exuded the presence of someone who had already mastered the room.
》“Whoa… Is she a model?”
》“No way… An actress? Wait, she’s a new hire!? No freakin’ way!”
Her name was—Ryoko Takahashi (25).
“Hey, is she a staff member? A senior?”
“But she’s not wearing a recruit suit… Wait, no way—is she a new hire?”
“She’s way too… complete.”
“It’s like the word ‘immediate asset’ is radiating off her back…”
—Just then, an announcement rang out across the venue:
》“We’d like to introduce a special guest joining us today.
》Ms. Ryoko Takahashi, who has already achieved notable results at our overseas branch,
》and was formally recruited through a special hiring track, will now be introduced at the front.”
(A wave of murmurs rippled through the hall…)
Ryoko stood and bowed before walking to the stage with calm, steady steps.
The murmurs grew louder.
Unfazed by the attention, Ryoko made her way to the podium—just like a princess arriving at the royal ball.
》“Last year, while attending language school, she interned at our Melbourne branch.
》During that time, she contributed significantly to three major business deals
》and earned high praise from clients…”
Her fellow recruits stared, mouths agape.
“Hold up. Her resume is totally bugged.”
“Wait… she was in Melbourne last year? We were still pulling shifts at café part-time jobs!”
“That ‘Sunrise Legend’... it wasn’t just a myth?”
“She actually exists… in the flesh…”
____________________________________________________________________________________
【At the Welcome Reception】After the toast, the free mingling time began.
While Ryoko was quietly helping herself to some food, a few fellow recruits cautiously approached her.
》“Um… Miss Takahashi… Is it true you were really in Melbourne?”
“Yes, it is. While I was attending a language school, I had the chance to do a short internship there♡”
》(If that was just a “short internship,” we’re all doomed.)
》“Your English must be, like, native level, right?”
“Fufu, not at all. I’m still way better at Japanese♡”
》(…There’s no area where we can win…)
Later, when it was time for each new hire to give their self-introduction:
“I’m Ryoko Takahashi. After graduating from Touto Medical University, I worked as a business analyst at Sunrise Global Trading’s Australia branch while studying abroad. I hope to gain more global experience here. I look forward to working with you all♡”
There was applause, but everyone was still stunned into silence.

【Company Training—The Beginning of a Legend】Sunrise Global Trading’s new hire training lasted a full month and was no joke. It included theoretical knowledge, presentations, roleplay, fieldwork—the works.
“The first thing I’ll say is—don’t take this lightly. If you slack off, you’ll be crushed.”
So declared the notoriously strict training instructor, Kimura (age 54), his eyes burning with conviction.
But just a few days later, that fire had gone out.
【Day 3: Presentation Workshop】
Each team was given the vague theme:
“The Role of Trading Companies in Combating Global Warming.”
“This is impossible…” groaned several teammates.
Ryoko, on the other hand, had the entire script ready in a matter of hours.
》Ryoko: “I think we should structure it like this—
》start with emotional appeal, then logical framing,
》and finish with a concrete proposal♡”
》Teammate: “That’s basically a TED Talk…”
And when it was time to present—
》“People tend to look away from the ‘pain’ right in front of them
》in pursuit of convenience.
》But working at a trading company means taking responsibility
》for how we affect the world.
》That’s the kind of resolve I believe we should have♡”
All the other recruits, instructors, and even Kimura himself leaned forward as one.
》Instructor: “…Maybe we should just send her into the field right now.”
》Kimura (jotting notes): “This kid… she’s a better speaker than me…”
【Day 15: Sales Roleplay】
“Sheesh, this client is impossible. They were already planning to say no.”
Even as other recruits grumbled about the scenario, Ryoko said calmly:
》“The real reason people say no is usually hidden behind their first excuse.
》Let’s try to find that♡”
Her handling of the roleplay was so natural, the employee playing the client forgot it was pretend.
》“Okay, I kinda want to buy this now…”
》“Wait—I’m literally reaching for my wallet…”
》“This is training, right? Right!?”
【Day 30: Final Presentation & Award Ceremony】
The president himself gave commentary. When it was time to name the top trainee—
“Ms. Ryoko Takahashi.”
》“...It was a landslide. Honestly,
》we didn’t even consider a second or third place—
》her performance was that far ahead.”
》
》“What is this, the Chopin Competition!?”
And so, the training program closed with what everyone was calling a Ryoko sweep.

【Mission: Find My Fated Prince (aka Shota)】By her second year at Sunrise, Ryoko—now 26—had already become a favorite among the executive team, thanks to her outstanding work. The “Legend of Ryoko” at Sunrise was now company canon.
She was in the middle of a web call with her bestie YUMI from Melbourne. Yumi had gotten married to Mark last year and just returned to work after giving birth to their son, Ren.
“Ryoko—did you do it again? Who’s the newest guy you added to your ‘maybe-he’s-my-prince’ list this month?”
“Eh? Uh… well…”
Ryoko quickly glanced away from the camera.
That’s right. She was currently in the middle of a personal research project: The Search for Her Prince Within the Company.
And the reason, of course, was her mom Masako’s prophecy—
》“He’ll be younger than you. When you meet him, he’ll say the words:
》‘Being around you makes me feel at ease.’”
》 ”You’ll meet him when you’re 28”)
That means… he might already be somewhere in the company…
The problem? She didn’t know his name, department, or even his age.

[He Might Be the One?①: The Prince of the Sales Department—Oikawa (Age 27)]
Sporty, charming, and a hit with the ladies, Oikawa was often nicknamed “The Prince” around the office. Ryoko quietly approached him.
》 Ryoko: “Hey, YUMI, how old is Oikawa-san?”
》 YUMI: “Huh? According to the employee directory, he’s 27.
》 He got promoted last year, too.”
》Ryoko (…Older than me… Doesn’t match the prophecy. He’s out.)
____________________________________________________________________________________
[He Might Be the One?②: The Intellectual in General Affairs—Yamada (Age 25)]
A quiet intellectual who spent his lunch breaks reading. Glasses-wearing, bookish—right in Ryoko’s strike zone.
》 Ryoko: “Hehe♡ Yamada-san, what are you reading~? Camus, perhaps?”
》 Yamada: “Ah, yes. I really enjoy The Stranger.”
》Ryoko: “…How lovely. (Inner thoughts: Wait, was my prince always this… philosophical?)”
→ A few days later, flustered by Ryoko’s attention, Yamada invited her to his book club.
But he was the type to push his hobbies on others—no match for Ryoko’s desire to dominate her prince. Out.
____________________________________________________________________________________
[He Might Be the One?③: The Shy Developer—Mikimoto (Age 26)]
A gentle soul who picked up Ryoko’s dropped handkerchief in the hallway.
》 Mikimoto: “Um… You dropped this…”
》 Ryoko: “Fufu, thank you♡ (Wait—could this be a fateful encounter!?)”
Later, Mikimoto asked her out for coffee. During the awkward conversation, Ryoko playfully used her telekinesis to tie a spoon into a butterfly knot.
Mikimoto was understandably horrified. Out.
____________________________________________________________________________________
【YUMI’s Razor-Sharp Observation】After all these failed “test runs,” YUMI hit Ryoko with a truth bomb:
》 Yumi: “Ryoko, maybe it’s not about the guy’s looks or age…
》 Maybe you’ll just feel it when it’s the right one.”
Ryoko: “…You might be right. Maybe I’m not supposed to ‘find’ him… Maybe it’s something I’m meant to feel.”

【The Scent of Fate: A Near-Miss Encounter with Shota (Age 24)】It was a Monday afternoon, and the company cafeteria at Sunrise Global Trading was at peak lunchtime rush. Employees in suits moved in every direction with trays in hand, the air buzzing with chatter and laughter.
“…Hm?”
Ryoko (age 26) stopped in her tracks.
For the first time ever, her hormone-detecting senses picked up a gentle whiff of something unusual—a sweet scent from someone’s brain chemistry.
Natural, nostalgic, and oddly calming.
(What is this…? I’ve never smelled brain hormones this good before…)
She turned toward the source.
Among a group of young male employees stood one boy with a dazzling smile.
Jet-black hair. A slightly boyish face. Yet, behind those eyes—something steady and strong.
Surrounded by a crowd of gushing female coworkers:
》 “Shota-kun♡”
》 “He’s too cute for a newbie!”
》“Give me your WhatsApp/LINE, pleeease♡”
“Huh…”
From a distance, Ryoko watched.
“So that’s the office heartthrob, huh. Not bad, I guess.”
She gave a small smirk, but in the next moment, something flickered in her chest.
“…What the heck? Why does seeing that guy surrounded by girls piss me off? I’m getting the urge to absolutely punish him right now…”
——Just then.
》 “Takahashi-san, you’ve got a call from ○○ Corporation.”
“Ah—yes, I’ll take it right away♡”
Phone in hand, Ryoko reluctantly returned her tray and walked away from the cafeteria.
She never once looked back.
But still lingering in the air behind her…
Was the faint scent of Shota’s hormones, sweet as ever.

【Age 28—The Prophetic Year: A Woman at the Peak of Delusion】Ryoko’s fourth year at the company.
Her accomplishments were so impressive that people said she practically ran the place. She had become a living legend among OLs.
But inside her head? A storm of wild fantasies.
——Age 28. The year of prophecy.
》 “My fated one just hasn’t appeared yet.
》 I don’t know his name or his face, but he’ll truly love me and never betray me.
》A little dense, a little shy… Alright, sweetheart, time to show yourself~♪
》If you don’t, I’ll have no choice but to curse every guy in this company
》 into confessing their love to me one by one♡”
Each month, she’d run through potential encounter simulations on her calendar.
・January: What if the quiet guy from the transfer team is the one?
Before she knew it, she was scanning the office daily for any sign of fate.
Hidden deep in her desk drawer? A secret notebook titled: My Yet-to-Appear Prince Memo.
[Latest Prince Delusion Highlights]
・On the day we meet, he’s going to say: “Seeing you calms me down.” (♡)
Her delusions grew more vivid.
She now dreamed about being proposed to at least twice a week.
》“Ugh, I can’t wait any longer… I want to control every part of you! Now show yourself already, my prince~♡”
That night, before bed, she smiled into her mirror.
》“Tomorrow’s the day. I can feel it.
》But if I catch you getting cozy with another girl even for a second
》—punishment will be immediate, got it?”
____________________________________________________________________________________
【And Then… Fantasy Becomes Reality】April arrived. A new employee was assigned to the sales department.
A 26-year-old guy—friendly, approachable, instantly popular with everyone.
Ryoko: (…Huh? This scent… Where have I—)
》“Takahashi-san, I’ll be working with you on the next project.
》I’m Shota Sasaki. It’s a pleasure to meet you!”
Even on their first meeting, Shota looked Ryoko straight in the eyes and smiled with zero hesitation.
One day, while they were riding the elevator together—
Ryoko: “Hey, Shota-kun… What do you think of me?”
Shota blinked, taken aback—but then answered with sincerity:
》“You’re amazing, Takahashi-san. Really talented, and beautiful, too.
》But you also seem kind of intimidating…
》Still, for some reason… being around you makes me feel at ease.”
Ryoko (OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!)
Ryoko: “Fufufufu… Found you, my prince~♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡”
