Although Misuzu might seem unreliable, well she is indeed somewhat unreliable, but this unreliability is merely a facade to the outside world. Once she gets serious, she lost that unreliableness.
She now knows that Asahi is not a bad person, just by observing these few young girls around him.
Even though she also knew these girls were very pure-hearted, their judgment about people was exceptionally accurate.
So after seeing these people trust Asahi so much, she knew that this couldn't be a disguise.
And even if she took charge now, her daughter will eventually mix with Asahi again once she left Academy City.
So, she decided to go along with the flow. As long as the person's character was fine, she believed it wasn't a significant issue.
At least, that's what she thought, leading to the current scene, where she straightforwardly entrusted her daughter to someone else.
"You… What are you talking about? We... we're just friends!"
Mikoto, whose face is already redder than a tomato, couldn't hold back her frustration. How can Mikoto, who is known for her tsundere nature and thin skin, be able to bear such thing.
"I know about boy-girl relationships, alright? You've been on a date! So why pretend!"
Misuzu looked at her daughter and couldn't help but shook her head. She felt her daughter is too thin-skinned. This kind of behavior could easily lead to problems. If someone else were to interfere or snatch this person away, it could lead to lifelong regrets. Misuzu is still very satisfied with Asahi, so after she thought about it, she decided to give her daughter a little guidance. As she didn't want her to regret anything in the future.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her!"
Asahi playfully added. And in an instant, a white steam visible to the naked eye appeared directly above Mikoto's head.
"Alright, you guys go have fun. There's always a bit of a generation gap between us, so I'll go wander around on my own. No need to worry about me. I've been here a few times before, although I'm not exactly an expert, I'm not a stranger either. See ya!"
After saying this, Misuzu immediately left Asahi and the others to themselves, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Um…, Mikoto-senpai, is this really okay?"
Looking at the slightly recovered Mikoto and then at the vanishing Misuzu, Kazari wasn't sure what to do next.
"Don't worry, my mother is not an ordinary person. She can handle herself just fine on her own."
Mikoto was clearly completely used to this, so she treated her mother's behavior as if she hadn't seen a thing.
Then, the girls and also Asahi, strolled around Academy City. As for the upcoming competition, it wasn't time yet, and with their speed, they could be at the competition venue in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, there was really no need to prepare in advance, as just showing up at the event would suffice.
After wandering around for a little over an hour, Mikoto and the others parted ways as their match was about to begin.
Because Asahi is not one of the students, Mikoto couldn't make any bets or wagers with him.
Although she had thought about it, like coming up with an excuse for a date, just like the original story with Touma, but she couldn't find one now, so she decided not to dwell on it.
And Asahi said something that made her blush furiously. He mentioned that he'd be watching her performance.
This made Mikoto's fighting spirit aroused. In this regard, Kuroko could only shake her head helplessly. Mikoto was already scary enough, but now, she is full of fighting spirit, isn't this a direct tragedy for other contestants?
Of course, she couldn't be bothered to care about it, as she also has her own competition to participate in. In the original work, she was severely injured and only attend the Daihasei Festival in a wheelchair, but this time, that was not the case.
But soon, while watching one of the events, Asahi spotted some familiar figures, Oriana, and among the competitors on the field, there was Touma and others.
This girl started causing trouble everywhere, affecting both Fukiyose Seiri and Aisa, just like in the original work.
Although Oriana is a beautiful woman, Asahi isn't the type to be rendered immobile by the sight of a beautiful woman. Others are okay, but Aisa is his people, and he is now Aisa's guardian.
So, naturally, he couldn't just stand by and ignore this. Oriana's ability is the Shorthand, and to put it bluntly, she could activate spells by writing the symbols. And right now, she had already tampered with some things.
Regarding this, Asahi frowned, and directly removed the removed the tampered items and then, using spatial movement, he made Oriana disappear.
Stiyl, who had been keeping an eye on Oriana, couldn't help but froze for a while, but he soon realized that there's only one person here with such abilities.
Knowing that it was Asahi's doing, Stiyl didn't dwell on it and simply decided to sit down and watch the match.
Initially, upon receiving the news about this matter, he was quite flustered. After all, those relics, once released, could cause immense havoc.
However, with Asahi around, there was no problem. No matter how powerful that relic might be, will it be stronger than an Archangel? Even an Archangel can be squished with no chance of retaliation, let alone these trashes.
So, he decided to rest at ease. But the eyes of the people around him looked at him strangely.
After all, he's dressed as a priest, and there's striped code on his face, he is also tall and well-built, so he did stand out in an odd way.
But it was clear he was accustomed to such attention and didn't bother engaging with others. He comfortably sat there, watching the event.
On the other side, on the rooftop of a building, Asahi and Oriana appeared abruptly here.
"This… what is going on? Why am I here? And who are you?"
Suddenly being transferred, Oriana's face was full of surprise. She really didn't understand how she had suddenly teleported from the competition venue to this place.
