'Yoshida Tenya! I didn't expect you to self-detonate too!'
Hachiman seemed to have found a kindred spirit, and his eyes welled up with tears for a moment.
"Uuu uuu uuu~"
"Yoshida-kun sacrificed himself for everyone!"
Yui was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears.
"This guy, he's actually a good person, huh."
Even Yumiko, who had held prejudice against him before, looked at him in a new light at this moment.
"Yoshida-san, are you sure about going alone...?" Mafuyu frowned, her expression a bit hesitant.
Going to a strange class alone meant he wouldn't be able to enjoy the beautiful memories with his team.
"No need to worry, Kirisu-sensei."
"I'm someone who loves making new friends (Treasure Chests) the most."
Tenya's goal was clear.
"So that's it..."
"It seems Tenya-kun is planning to make a move on girls from other classes."
A cold glint flashed in Megumi's eyes.
Hey hey~ What kind of blunt truth are you spouting!
Tenya pretended not to understand.
Just like this...
Under Tenya's proactive "self-sacrifice," he was transferred alone to the bus where another class was located.
"Yo~ Class C's handsome boys and pretty girls!"
"I'm Yoshida Tenya from F Class. Due to a temporary transfer, I'll be riding with everyone for now."
"Please take good care of me!"
As soon as Tenya got on the bus, he attracted everyone's attention.
"Yoshida Tenya...!"
"That transfer student from America!"
"Damn handsome guy!"
The boys of Class C suddenly felt as if they were facing a great enemy.
"It's actually Yoshida-san, how lucky!"
In contrast, the girls of Class C were pleasantly surprised, and one by one they enthusiastically sent him invitations.
"Yoshida-san, please sit next to me!"
"Hatano, didn't you promise to sit with me?"
"Ha? Who are you? Get away from me, shrimp-head guy!"
"Yoshida-san, hurry and come~"
Facing the girls who were waving at him, Tenya merely walked past with a smile.
Among them, there were quite a few girls with high appearance scores, but Tenya had no interest in them at all.
Only because the system had no reaction.
If women don't have Treasure Chests, then what use are you?
[Ding!]
[Discovered Treasure Chest holder: Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou]
What a long name!
Which anime is she from?
Tenya couldn't recall for a moment.
He looked up.
He saw in the back row of the bus, a silver-haired, blue-eyed girl, her slender, long beautiful legs wrapped in white silk stockings, gleaming with a milky, sweet luster under the sunlight from outside the bus window.
Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou, her father is a Russian, and her mother is a Japanese.
Fair-skinned and beautiful, with a tall and slender figure, she had received countless confessions, all of which she rejected. At school, she is called "The solitary princess"!
Because her personality is cold and arrogant, and her aura is not something ordinary people can approach, no one dared to sit next to Alisa.
"Hello."
Tenya ignored the other party's "do not approach" aura and directly sat down in the seat next to her.
"...."
Alisa activated her cold stare!
"Heh~"
Tenya returned a faint smile to the other party.
This guy...
Unlike the local Japanese boys, he has a kind of domineering, tough guy aura.
A hint of surprise appeared in Alisa's eyes.
"Damn it! His target right away is our princess!"
"He is too arrogant, right?"
"Don't worry! Our princess has always been serious and hasn't smiled at boys."
"Even if a handsome guy comes, he also has to suffer a setback..."
The Class C boys on the bus, with a popcorn-eating, drama-watching attitude, waited for Tenya to make a fool of himself.
However, the next scene made them drop their glasses.
"Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou."
Alisa actively reported her name.
"I'm Yoshida Tenya, hello Alisa-san." Tenya responded.
"Huh?!"
"The princess actually actively greeted a stranger?"
"Speaking of which, how dare he just address the princess by her first name in their first encounter? This is too impolite, right?"
Everyone expressed their indignation one after another.
"...."
Alisa's slender eyebrows slightly raised.
At Sobu High School, everyone only called her "Kujou".
After all, in Japan, only people who are familiar and close call each other by their first name directly.
However, Alisa grew up in Russia from childhood and didn't really care about being called by her first name.
"смелый человек." (Russian: Bold man)
"Pretty girl, what are you saying?" (English)
"???"
Alisa had a bewildered look.
Although she simultaneously mastered Russian and Japanese, she was helpless when it came to English.
"Nothing, I'm just saying you're a little cutie." Tenya had a smile on his face.
Defeat magic with magic!
"Then... thank you?"
Alisa endured a lot of psychological pressure every day in order to maintain her perfect image at school, and she occasionally expressed her inner thoughts softly in Russian to relax a little.
The bus started.
"Depart, depart!"
"I'm looking forward to having activities together with other schools!"
"Taking this opportunity, I must get a girlfriend from another school!"
"Save it! Didn't you hear it's an activity with a primary school?"
"Isn't that even better?"
"What?"
"Savage! Pervert! Brothers, get him!!"
"Stop! Aaahhh~~"
"Holy crap, I fell for the trap! This kid is full of tricks!"
The bus was a scene of joyful noise.
"кучка идиотов!" (A bunch of idiots)
"Silly guys" (English)
Alisa and Tenya exchanged a glance. Although neither of them could understand the other party's encrypted language, they could tell what the other party was expressing from their eyes.
"Pfft!"
"Heh heh!"
The two smiled at each other.
"Alisa-san, I'm very happy to meet you." Tenya extended his hand.
Alisa first gazed steadily at Tenya's face, confirming that there wasn't a hint of perverted intent in the other party's eyes. Then, she lowered her guard.
"Tenya-kun, I am also honored to travel with you." She extended her palm and shook hands with him.
