"So, earlier..."
So, was all that earlier commotion just for me?
But in the end, Ryuto didn't say it out loud.
"Not entirely. In the end, it's about controlling the airflow in the brain and the whole body through contact, almost like inhaling pure oxygen. Of course, it's not actually inhaling pure oxygen, but achieving a similar effect through other means."
I actually had a momentary naive thought that she had some kind of good intentions...
Isn't this still just for fun? Maybe I'm still too young after all?
Hmm? Wait, was there something strange just now?
Ryuto tried to confirm.
"Did Arashikaze-senpai just say something about controlling through contact?"
Arashikaze Manami seemed a bit puzzled.
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"Yeah, if there's no problem, then it's strange, right? If it's about contact, there's no reason it has to be with the forehead."
In response, Arashikaze Manami started to act nonchalant.
"Oh well, did I say that just now? Did Amagi-kun misremember?"
"...Didn't you admit it just now?"
"Really? Well then, maybe I didn't say it completely. Ahem, let me correct that."
With a serious look, Arashikaze Manami said.
"The effect can only be achieved by contacting with the forehead."
"..."
This is clearly something that was added later, isn't it tampering with the original work?
But let's just ignore it, after all, the explanation is in their hands, dammit...
Isn't this what they call "I am the law"?
Well, let's turn a blind eye to it and get back to the topic.
"So, basically, I'm carrying an invisible oxygen tank now."
"Yes, you can think of it that way, but just like how the oxygen in a tank runs out, this effect won't last long."
"But there must be more to it than that."
After all, Ryuto couldn't have such a miraculous effect just by something so simple, and Arashikaze Manami's answer confirmed Ryuto's thoughts.
"That's right, if it was just that, the effect wouldn't be so good."
"What else is there?"
"Just like I said earlier, the main reason people get dizzy on transportation is due to the movement, bumps, and stimulation of the vestibular receptors during ascents and descents, which leads to adverse reactions."
Faced with this absurd professional terminology, Ryuto made a rather distressed expression.
"So?"
Though he couldn't understand, he gestured for the other person to continue.
"So, all we have to do is dull the reaction of the vestibular receptors to those stimuli, just like using anesthesia. Specifically, by controlling..."
"Forget it, don't say anymore. It's scary. Are there any side effects? And... is there a time limit for this?"
"Of course, anesthesia has side effects too, right?"
"Is that so? Well, that's enough. It's already amazing enough."
"That's true. If the effect wears off, you just have to do it again, no big deal."
Arashikaze Manami just replied with a plain expression.
"Well, about that..."
The reason for saying so was that Ryuto felt a strong killing intent coming from beside him, and if they messed up again, they might end up being killed.
"What do you think? Bringing me along is very helpful, isn't it? As long as you have me with you, Amagi-kun will never have to worry about getting dizzy on transportation again. Plus, Amagi-kun can find me anytime, anywhere, I'm always available."
Why does this sound like an advertisement? And aren't you the student council president?
Why does it sound like you have so much free time? This doesn't make sense.
Well, forget about sense and all that scientific stuff, are you trying to tease me by talking about science with this person?
"...Let's talk about that later."
"Then it's settled! I'm really looking forward to the 'next time'."
Arashikaze Manami said with a smile.
"..."
It seems like I didn't agree to this...
At that moment,
The killing intent around them became even stronger, and there were other gazes as well...
Damn it...
Are you doing this on purpose?
Ryuto realized that he couldn't just wait around, so he decided.
"Ah, I'll go to the restroom."
Escape first, no, it's just a tactical withdrawal.
And so, before getting caught, Ryuto quickly made his escape from the battlefield.
