Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 646 - 644: Ayatsuki Ayaka’s Attempt to Grow Stronger

After school, the gentle sunlight spilled over the walls of the club building, and the breeze carried the scent of osmanthus flowers into the open window, resonating in the Human Observation Society's activity room.

On the rectangular table, a girl with wheat-colored skin sat cross-legged, her two white silk legs tightly together, her hands forming a pinch flower gesture on her knees, her posture straight, face showing serenity, as if in meditation.

Soon, her head slightly drooped downwards.

Thump, a rolled-up book knocked on the girl's forehead.

Ayatsuki Ayaka instantly woke up, looking at Takahashi Saeko next to her, and said somewhat dazedly, "Saeko, why did you hit me?"

Takahashi Saeko gave her a sideways glance, quite disappointed, saying, "I told you to meditate and clear your mind, not to sleep.

Do you still want to increase your superpower?"

Upon hearing her question, Ayatsuki Ayaka recalled that her meditation here was meant to test whether it could enhance her superpower.

But she felt she wasn't cut out for it, always easily falling asleep when trying to clear her mind.

"Sigh, I feel this path is completely useless."

"I think so too."

Takahashi Saeko also gave up on the meditation route, who on earth meditates and falls asleep three times in the process?

This path is obviously not feasible.

"Hehe."

Ayatsuki Ayaka smiled awkwardly, trying to stand up, but suddenly realized, "Ouch, my foot is numb."

Her movement to stand paused immediately, sitting back to relieve it, wanting to let her foot slowly adjust.

Tama Chan saw this and couldn't resist reaching out to pinch her calf.

"Ouch~"

Ayatsuki Ayaka cried out loud, that tingling sensation felt like a surge of electricity flowing to her brain, making her instinctively feel like she was about to overflow.

She glared fiercely at Tama Chan saying, "Don't touch me randomly, I almost couldn't hold it."

"Eh, is it that stimulating?"

Tama Chan's hands moved restlessly, her pure face full of a mischievous smile.

Ayatsuki Ayaka glared, raising her hands in a defensive posture, ready to swat Tama Chan's hands away to prevent her legs from being touched.

Takahashi Saeko seized the opportunity, quickly wrapped her arms around Ayaka's slim waist, dragging her off the table.

"Ah!" Ayatsuki Ayaka let out an unexpected shriek, instinctively standing her feet on the ground, the tingling current surged to her waist and hit her brain.

She crossed her legs reflexively, her petite body trembling slightly, this position, to some extent, relieved the numbness in her foot.

Once she regained composure, gritting her teeth, she said, "Saeko, Tama, you'll regret it, next time your foot is numb, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Haha."

Takahashi Saeko let out a clear laugh, releasing her grip on Ayaka's waist, lest someone's molars be crushed, "Meditation is useless, maybe try practicing Qigong to enhance your superpower.

I searched online, Eight-Devil King Kong Power, this mysterious oriental force, many people say practicing it is beneficial for the body."

"Saeko, I feel I'm more of a practical type, maybe when encountering monsters, my powers will strengthen."

Ayatsuki Ayaka shared her thoughts.

Tama Chan spread her hands saying, "Ayaka, someone with just a bit of strength running up to monsters without thinking.

You're more likely to become a parody protagonist getting beaten up than a serious anime protagonist bursting a mini-universe to save the world.

Ah, not possible, I like Mr. Aozawa.

My waist isn't under control anymore.

Hehehe, sorry, Mr. Aozawa, I've already transformed into goblin shape~"

Tama Chan stuck out her tongue, rolling her eyes, like a dog about to collapse from exhaustion.

She vividly depicted the encounter Ayatsuki Ayaka might have with her expressive gestures and tone.

Gulp, Ayatsuki Ayaka swallowed her saliva, dismissing the idea of breaking through through practical combat, turning to Saeko saying, "Saeko, let's discuss Eight-Devil King Kong Power."

Seeing her serious expression, Takahashi Saeko couldn't resist pinching Ayaka's cheeks, laughing, "You're adorably cowardly~"

"What nonsense, I'm not cowardly, I've merely considered the pros and cons rationally and think Eight-Devil King Kong Power suits me better."

Ayatsuki Ayaka argued stubbornly.

It's not that she's not brave for practical combat, it's just the Eight-Devil King Kong Power saves time, no need to seek out monsters.

"Haha."

The activity room suddenly echoed with joyful laughter, and amidst their smiles, Ayatsuki Ayaka's face turned red.

...

"Eight-Devil King Kong Power is so difficult."

On the way home, Aozawa looked at the message Ayatsuki Ayaka sent, below it was a despondent emoji.

He typed, "Why did you suddenly think of practicing that?"

"Isn't it to enhance my strength, with unusual events like Five Lakes of Mount Fuji flying into the sky, more of these might happen in the future, I must become stronger to protect you."

Just from the words, Aozawa could already imagine her clenching her fists with an "I'm fired up" expression.

So cute.

Aozawa smiled and typed, "Is that so, then I'll have to thoroughly stir-fry you later."

"Ah, why did you suddenly bring up this topic?"

"I must beat the goblins to it, turning you into my shape."

Ayatsuki Ayaka swiftly replied with an emoji of "I'm angry, going to beat you up."

Aozawa couldn't help but laugh.

A soft voice floated over from the side.

"Oh, judging by your smile, are you chatting with your girlfriend?"

Behind the door, Ishimura Shino stood there in a white dress, holding a broom, her eyebrows full of the gentle charm of a young wife.

Aozawa was slightly taken aback and nodded, "Yes."

After speaking, out of curiosity, Aozawa couldn't help but use his X-ray Ability to take a look.

As expected, beneath the white dress was the kind of scene that one might find astounding in a movie.

Filled with insulting words, and packed so full that there wasn't an extra inch of space.

He couldn't help but marvel at how she and her husband truly seemed to be a match made in heaven.

"Being young is great."

Ishimura Shino's face showed a hint of nostalgia as she said softly, "My husband and I also met in high school. Seize your youth and experience all sorts of things; if you suppress yourself too much, you'll regret it when you're older."

"Thank you for your advice."

Aozawa continued back into the house, deactivating his X-ray Ability, and began to reply to Ayatsuki Ayaka's messages.

"Iroha, let's play a bit in the school's small grove tomorrow morning~"

"I need to go home to practice; can't chat now."

Such a simple sentence made Aozawa imagine the scene of a blushing Ayaka dropping her phone and fleeing in a panic.

It wasn't the first time, yet Ayatsuki Ayaka was still so shy.

This was also the unique charm of a young girl.

Aozawa dared not continue speaking on such topics; it wouldn't do to make Ayaka explode with embarrassment, so he simply replied with an okay.

Then he switched the chat interface to the class leader to talk about international matters.

As long as he hadn't returned home, he wouldn't pause his chats with them.

...

Chiyoda District, Imperial Palace.

The Bentley entered from Hanzomon, all the way to Toyomei-den.

This place was originally used for hosting the Emperor's birthday parties and large banquets attended by many people.

From the outside, the building was not at all luxurious, but stepping inside, one could sense the grandeur of Toyomei-den.

The floor gleamed like the autumn twilight sky.

Above were pendant lights shaped like dandelions, illuminating the grand hall of Toyomei-den. A long table, covered in white cloth, was set up in the center.

A nearly thousand-square-meter hall with just one table, standing fifteen people, gave Phoenix Academy Maggie the feeling of immense emptiness.

Kochou sat at the head, exquisite dishes placed before her.

She raised her hand and waved gently.

Those stationed nearby, including Miwa Kazuki like clouds blown by the wind, retreated from the hall in unison.

Toyomei-den suddenly felt even more vast, as if a single word would echo throughout.

"Maggie, you must have heard about the Five Lakes of Mount Fuji incident, right?"

"Yes."

Phoenix Academy Maggie nodded; she had discussed this with Aozawa at noon, exploring what kind of power might be contained within that mysterious light.

Aozawa's response was that he wasn't sure, only that it contained a peculiar fluctuation.

What kind of impact would that fluctuation have on the world?

He didn't know either.

"The current theory is that it's related to Dio, the effect of the emitted strong light is unknown, but our military satellite launched into outer space suddenly lost contact. We still don't know what happened, but it's likely related to the light."

Kochou's expression turned slightly somber as she continued, "I had initially planned for you to get involved in family matters after graduating from college, but it seems necessary now for you to enter the stage earlier."

Phoenix Academy Maggie was startled; if she hadn't met Aozawa before, she would have been quite satisfied with such an arrangement from her mother, but after meeting him, she didn't want her high school life to end.

"Mother, what do you want me to do?"

"Beyond school, you're free to manage your own reading from now on."

Kochou didn't abolish her daughter's high school life but did away with the extracurricular courses, "I need you to help me manage the Imperial Court Retainers. I don't trust that old fox Kamei Bunta."

"Rest assured, Mother, I will definitely manage the Imperial Court Retainers well."

Phoenix Academy Maggie breathed a sigh of relief; as long as her mother allowed her to continue studying, the cancellation of extracurricular courses didn't matter.

Understanding people, power struggles—she had studied enough, and it was time to put it into practice.

Kochou smiled and said, "After dinner, go to the Imperial Household Agency and meet the officials there. Kamei Bunta is waiting in the reception room.

You two should talk properly.

The current task is to find someone within the Sanwa Consortium who can become one of ours.

I aim to split the Thirty-Four Families."

Phoenix Academy Maggie pulled out a chair and sat down, curiously asking, "Mother, why do you want to target the Thirty-Four Families?"

"They refuse to yield to me, so naturally, I can't let them have it easy. Otherwise, how would I make those who follow me believe?"

Kochou bore no ill will toward Sanjushi Tera and even admired his courage, but that didn't stop her from plotting against the Thirty-Four Families.

In her eyes, politics wasn't about right or wrong, only about benefits and drawbacks.
