Chapter 22

As Ryūji and Doremi walked towards the school building, they were captivated by the sight of students flying around and using magic. It was a truly amazing spectacle. While looking up at the towering building, Ryūji couldn't contain his excitement and exclaimed, "It's so big!"

Doremi smiled in response and said, "Well, follow me, Ryūji-kun." Ryūji nodded and followed Doremi towards the school. As they walked, Ryūji noticed that the other students were looking at him, which made him curious. He leaned towards Doremi and whispered, "Why are they looking at me?"

Blushing slightly, Doremi replied, "Hmm, maybe it's because you're pretty tall, Ryūji-kun." Ryūji felt relieved, thinking that the students were simply curious about his height, assuming he was just an ordinary high school student.

In his own thoughts, Ryūji remembered his motivation for attending a high school: "The only reason why I chose to go to a high school is because there should be a ton of hot girls there. I mean, I read a harem manga... I want the same experience."

However, realizing the inappropriate nature of his thoughts, he quickly shook them off and turned to Doremi, asking for her help. "Wait, what if someone recognizes me? Could you give me a different name? I don't want the students or teachers to suspect anything."

Doremi paused and put her finger on her chin, deep in thought, as she tried to come up with a suitable name for Ryūji. After humming for a moment, she suggested, "Maybe Ryūji Kai..." Her suggestion struck Ryūji profoundly, and he was taken aback by the impact of the new name.

Observing his reaction, Doremi felt a twinge of guilt and asked, "Oh, do you want me to change it?" However, Ryūji smiled and placed his hand over his chest, declaring, "No, it's fine. My name is now Ryūji Kai!"

In his thoughts, Ryūji contemplated the strange turn of events, thinking, "When did this fate come to be at this point in time?" Despite his musings, he maintained a smile and said to Doremi, "Oh, alright. Let's keep going."

As Doremi made her way to her classroom, labeled "1 - D," she looked for a seat to settle into. However, she couldn't help but notice one of the boys in the class glancing at her and whispering inappropriate comments to his friends. They were saying things like, "Dude, she looks kinda cute and busty," "I really want to ride on her," and "Damn, I wish her seat was my face." Their remarks bothered Doremi, but she tried to maintain her composure and keep her mind calm.

Taking a deep breath, Doremi focused her attention on her friend, Kasumi, who happened to be in the same class. Doremi couldn't contain her excitement and called out loudly, "Hey, Kasumi-chan!" Her outburst caught the attention of the classmates, and Doremi quickly covered her mouth with her hands, hoping to avoid drawing further attention to herself.

Kasumi walked up to Doremi and scolded her, saying, "Hey, that was embarrassing, you know? Don't ever do that when you're near me, okay?" Doremi nodded, still covering her mouth, and Kasumi continued, "Come on, you can speak." Doremi slowly uncovered her mouth and expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you very much," while giving a thumbs-up.

Kasumi wasn't bothered by Doremi's initial outburst and took a seat next to her, signaling that everything was alright.

As the teacher, Mrs. Tamae, entered the classroom, her presence commanded attention. She was a lovely and beautiful woman, despite being in her late twenties. With her experience as a teacher, she had a great understanding of her students. However, little did the students know, she also had a husband.

Mrs. Tamae addressed the class, instructing everyone to take their seats and informing them of a new classmate. Whispers filled the room as the students speculated, hoping for a new female student or a tall, attractive boy. Doremi, however, already knew who the new classmate would be – Ryūji Kai.

As Ryūji walked up to the teacher, he turned around and gave the students a serious expression. Mrs. Tamae greeted him with a smile and asked him to introduce himself. Ryūji smiled back and said, "Okay," before continuing, "Uh, my name is Ryūji Kai. I'm a guy who would love to work with all of you and be friends."

The students were somewhat disappointed, as they had hoped for a beautiful, tall boy or a hot, busty girl. They regarded Ryūji as just a random addition to the class. However, Ryūji noticed their disappointment and bowed down, expressing his gratitude. "Thank you for having me here," he said sincerely.

Doremi, on the other hand, was content with Ryūji's presence in the class. Meanwhile, Mrs. Tamae pointed out the desk where Ryūji would be sitting. He nodded in acknowledgment and made his way to his seat at the back, where the other boys were located.

As Doremi turned around and whispered her concerns about Ryūji, Kasumi looked at her and advised her not to pay attention to that pervert. Doremi started to turn around slightly, questioning Kasumi's statement about Ryūji being a pervert. Kasumi explained that she had read Ryūji's thoughts and that he was here to pursue numerous romantic relationships.

Kasumi possessed the ability to read minds, although there were limitations to her power. Despite having an IQ of 145, she couldn't read Doremi's mind effortlessly. Doremi revealed that she and Ryūji lived in the same apartment, surprising Kasumi. Concerned, Kasumi suggested that Doremi kick Ryūji out, but Doremi defended him, stating that he was a good person.

Kasumi wore a bored expression and said, "Well, that's weird, but please call if you need help with this pervert Kai." Doremi noticed that Kasumi persisted in calling Ryūji a pervert but nodded in response.

Meanwhile, Ryūji turned around and noticed four boys giving him hostile looks, questioning what he was staring at. Apologizing, Ryūji turned away and mused, "Oh well, this place is going to be a disaster, isn't it?" He observed his surroundings and saw that Doremi was fine, engaged in conversation with a cute girl who had short brown hair, brown eyes, and a short skirt. Ryūji couldn't help but think to himself, "Damn, that girl next to Miss Doremi looks pretty hot."

As Kasumi overheard Ryūji's thoughts, she blushed and wondered, "What did that pervert Kai say?" However, Ryūji redirected his attention to the teacher as she began the class, leaving the thoughts and interactions behind for the moment.

[Ryūji Kai's personality seemed to have undergone a slight change.]

As Ryūji lay defeated on the ground, he lamented, "Oh, I suppose I wasn't strong enough to become your husband..." However, the Sexy Demon Queen, standing over him, asked, "Any last words?" Ryūji foolishly responded, "Can you show me your... well, you know." In response to his inappropriate comment, the Sexy Demon Queen swiftly kicked him in the face.
