【My Fated One ♡ and Shota’s Red-Eyed One】

When Shota-kun said, “being around you makes me feel at ease,” I was nearly convinced that he was the fated one from Mama Masako’s prophecy. But even at work, I never jump to conclusions without verifying the facts.

So, I brought Shota-kun into a private meeting room, just the two of us. Once he stepped in, I quietly locked the door behind me.

“Ufufu, Shota-kun♡ This is something very important to advance ‘our project♡’ together. I might ask you some strange things, but is that okay?”

—Shota was all fired up, thinking he’d get to work alongside the legend of Sunrise Global Trading, Ryoko Takahashi.

“Yes, Takahashi-san! Please ask me anything!”

—But the ‘our project♡’ she meant had nothing to do with business project.

“Fufu, good boy, Shota-kun. Then let me ask—do you happen to have three moles above your right shoulder blade?”

“Eh!? Hmm… I’ve never seen them myself, but my family did say I have some there… But, Takahashi-san, how do you know that?”

—Of course, the reason was Mama Masako’s prophecy—

》 To identify your fated one,
》 check for three moles arranged in a triangle above his right shoulder blade.
》 And he will accept everything about you—even your powers.

“I’m sorry, but could you show me?”

“Eh?! That’s… embarrassing…”

“I’m very sorry for doing this to you, Shota-kun, but this is really important…”

Looking at him apologetically, I activated my telekinesis to restrain his movement.

“Huh? What’s happening…? My body won’t move…”

I took off his jacket, lifted his shirt, and checked his back. And there they were—three moles arranged in a perfect triangle. The moment I saw them, I could no longer hold back my overflowing emotions.

“Shota-kun, I’m your Ryoko♡ Nice to meet you—now come here for a big hug♡”

—I launched a powerful cuddle attack infused with relaxation hormones on my fated one, Shota. He melted in my arms.

“What… what is this…? It feels… amazing…”

—While lost in bliss, Shota stared into my hormone-manipulating eyes.

“Ah, the red-eyed one… Ryoko… my guide…?” (See Episode 78)

With that, Shota-kun drifted into peaceful sleep.

【I held Shota-kun close until he woke up】

—About an hour later, he stirred.

“Ugh… Oh no, I’m sorry, Takahashi-san. I think I dozed off.”

My fated one jumped up and backed away apologetically. But I didn’t want to let go. No, I wished that moment would last forever.

“It’s okay, Shota-kun. You can lean on me. From now on, always♡ Here, let me hold you more—come here～♡”

Before I could even think it, my telekinesis activated, floating Shota-kun gently back into my open arms.

“Whoa!? What the—am I… floating…?!”

“Ufufu♡ This is telekinesis. I can move things—or people—just by thinking it.”

“Really!? That sounds super useful…”

While gently stroking his soft hair, I reflected:

(Even from his hormone levels, I can tell—Shota-kun isn’t freaked out at all by my powers. Just like YUMI♡)

“And why does being held like this feel so good…?”

“That’s my other ability—hormonal manipulation♪ Right now, I’m tweaking your brain’s chemistry to help you relax♡”

“This… this might get addictive…”

“Then I’ll give you hugs as much as you like♡ Because you’re just the type I can’t leave alone♪”

Leaning in close, I softly blew on his ear and released a wave of dopamine into his brain—hoping that my presence would become like a drug that consumed his heart.

“So, Shota-kun, don’t you want to know more about me now?♡”

A blush spread across his cheeks…

“Y-Yes, Ryoko-senpai… But it’s a bit embarrassing, being held like this the whole time…”

“Shota-kun, you’re seriously adorable♡ Huuuuug~!”

—Unable to hold back, I gave him another big squeeze.

【That evening, I invited Shota-kun out for drinks】

》 “Shota-kun, wanna grab a drink after work?♡”

After sending him that message, I closed my eyes and tapped into his hormones and emotions remotely. (Fufu, he’s flustered. He’s dying to see me. So cute♡ Oh, here comes his reply—yep, it’s a yes.)

My phone buzzed with his reply:

》 “I’d love to!”

During work, I’d already scouted out a cozy little bar near the office. I got there early and used my hormone powers to subtly influence the mood, ensuring empty seats around us for some private time.

(Shota-kun, hurry up and get here♡ Oh—there he is!)

“Shota-kun, great work today♡ Are you nervous or something?”

“Eh? N-No, not really…”

(Aww, so cute♡ Time to make him fall for me even more.)

I began fine-tuning his hormones again, letting my feelings gently echo directly into his heart. Gazing deep into his eyes, I caught the faint reflection of my crimson pupils in his.

Shota: (Ryoko-senpai’s red eyes… Where is she guiding me…?)

From his dazed expression, I could tell he was drifting… Now’s the time.

Ryoko: “Hey, Shota-kun, it’s okay to fall for me even more, you know~♡”

His face turned crimson. My feelings echoed again and again in his mind. Like a chant—“Like me. More. Even more…”

Ryoko: “Shota-kun♪ From now on, think about me more and more, okay?♡”

Because long before I even met you… you were all I ever thought about~♡

【That Night, I Couldn’t Sleep】

After parting ways with Shota-kun and returning home, I crawled into bed and pulled the covers up tight around me.

“Hehe… ♡ No use… I can’t… I can’t sleep…!”

My head was spinning—filled with thoughts of Shota-kun. Our conversation at the bar, his blushing cheeks, the way he met my eyes so shyly but directly.

(Aahhh, what am I gonna do… Shota-kun’s just too kawaii…♡)

I could still clearly see the silhouette of the seat he’d been sitting in. The distance across the table. The way he laughed. How he held his chopsticks. The subtle movement of his Adam’s apple.

(I wonder if Shota-kun is sleeping soundly right now…?)

I closed my eyes and reached out with my senses—searching for the movement of his brain’s hormones.

(…Yup, he’s asleep. And yet… what is this feeling… Is he thinking about me? Hehe, you’re meeting me in your dreams too, aren’t you♡)

I yanked the blanket over my head and rolled around on the bed, kicking my feet.

(Shota-kun… I’ve been looking for you for so, so long… and now I’ve finally found you…!)

I secretly turned on the light and stood in front of the mirror. My cheeks were tinged pink, and my eyes shimmered with moisture.

(I even confirmed the mole… Yup, Shota-kun really is the one… my destiny…!)

The girl in the mirror had the happiest expression I’d ever seen on my face.

“Tomorrow’s gonna be amazing… hehe ♡ I can’t wait…”

—That night, I tossed and turned in bed, whispering Shota-kun’s name over and over, barely sleeping a wink.

But it wasn’t a painful night.

After my dad died, I was called a “monster” by my uncle and aunt. My classmates avoided me like I was cursed. Through those years—middle school, high school… I was 18 when I first heard about him from Mama Masako. And from that day until today… I waited. Eleven long years of dreaming and hoping that someday, someone would accept all of me—waiting for the day I would meet Shota-kun.

And now, at last… that night is finally over.

Because starting tomorrow, my future with Shota-kun begins—♡

【My Psychic Morning Routine (Special Edition♡)】

That morning—I woke up at 4:30 AM.

An hour earlier than usual. But I wasn’t sleepy at all. If anything, I was wide awake.

(I get to see Shota-kun again today…♡)

I curled up under my covers for a bit, grinning and hugging my blanket… but I knew lying around any longer was pointless, so I hopped out of bed.

—Step one: the now-obligatory “Shota Hormone Check.”

I closed my eyes and traced the waves of Shota-kun’s hormones and emotions.

(…Yup, still asleep… He’s all groggy… How cute… Hehe♡)

Check complete. No abnormalities. Love level: slightly rising♡

Next up: skincare and makeup.

(Today, I have to make him say, “Senpai, you’re kind of… glowing today, aren’t you?”)

With steam blasting full force into my face, I floated toner, moisturizer, and serum into the air using telekinesis and patted them onto my skin all at once. Brushes danced through the air, completing my makeup in seconds.

(Yup. Perfect. I’m absolutely perfect today♡)

—Just before leaving for work, I checked in on Shota-kun’s emotions one more time.

(Ah… he’s stirring awake now…♡ Even in his dreams, he was with me… Good boy♡)

Still smiling, I stepped out onto the balcony with a piece of toast in my mouth and floated upward in my heels. Once again, I was off to see Shota-kun♡ Tugging myself closer to him with the red string of fate—!

【Reunion—And Just One Look】

I arrived at the Sunrise Global Trading office and took a deep breath in front of the employee entrance.

(Calm down, Ryoko. You’re just here to see Shota-kun… no, to reaffirm your destiny with him…♡)

The automatic doors opened, and I breezed through reception, gliding through the halls like the wind.

—And there he was.

At the edge of the office space. Sitting stiffly at his desk, working on his computer. The way he rolled up his sleeves, how he kept his back straight without leaning on the chair—exactly as I’d imagined. Hehe, I know everything about him already.

(Yup. Definitely my destined one♡)

And then—

Our eyes met.

“…!”

His eyes widened for a moment, then darted away. A blush crept across his cheeks.

(Kyaaaaaaaaaa!!♡♡♡ He totally looked at me just now!)

I smiled and gave him a light wink as a greeting.

Shota-kun froze, then gave a quick, awkward bow like a nod.

(Hehe, no need to be so shy, Shota-kun♡ Or maybe… is the image of my eyes from last night still haunting you?)

Just to make sure, I sent him a little message:

》 “Good morning, Shota-kun ♡ Did you wake up on time?”

Immediately, his brain lit up with images of me from last night’s bar.

(Yup yup, he’s totally thinking about me. He’s been thinking about me this whole time. I’m so happy♡)

My fantasies started running wild on their own.

—【Mental Simulation: Initiated】—
》 Ryoko: “Shota-kun… You don’t have to go to work today. I’ll pamper you all day long♡”
》 Shota: “S-Senpai… Really? I love being spoiled by you… dominated sweetly…”
》 Ryoko: “Of course I know that… I’m your wife, after all… Now come here♪ I’ll take complete control of every part of you♡”
—【Simulation: Complete】—

I snapped back to reality and looked at Shota again. He was still blushing, making his way back to his seat.

(…So cute… unbearably kawaii…! Aahhh, I’m totally gonna ask him to lunch like 10 minutes before the break♡)

Even after sitting down at my own desk, I kept sneaking glances in his direction—watching him absentmindedly stapling papers, doing absolutely nothing productive.

I could feel his emotional waves clearly now.

(He’s probably thinking, “Why do I feel so at peace…?” Right? It’s because your instincts, Shota-kun… they’re telling you to choose me♡)

—Back when I didn’t even know his name, I was always searching for “him.” And now… he’s right there.

My world has finally started turning again.
