Three days have passed since the tragedy that befell Nino and Miku. During that time, the restaurant has not been operational.
As a result, many women were disappointed that they could not see Eiji at work.
Nino and Miku kept their promise not to disclose that Eiji was the one who saved them, despite being pressed by their father, Nakano Maruo.
The police also failed to trace Eiji's identity. Because the victims refused to say anything, they could do nothing. Besides, Maruo is a doctor with a good reputation in the medical world; he has many connections with high-ranking officials in the government.
Eventually, Nino and Miku moved to an apartment with a strict security system.
❀❀❀
In the bedroom.
"I never expected there to be a hidden blessing behind this disaster."
"Who am I really...?"
Lost in thought, Eiji lay floating in the air as if he were in outer space without gravity.
It was not just a metaphor but literally!
He was truly floating without any aids!
After saving Nino and Miku from near-rape, Eiji discovered new memories once his anger subsided.
These memories were not related to his past but were experiences using a Cursed Technique called Limitless Technique!
"Blue is the force of attraction…"
"Red is the force of repulsion…"
"Cyan is the force of ice…"
"Scarlet is the force of fire…"
"Purple is the combination of Red and Blue to create imaginary mass that causes destructive damage."
"Olive is the combination of Cyan and Scarlet; its effects are no less destructive than Purple."
"Azure... The power to open gateways to other worlds."
"..."
As he listed what could be done with the Limitless Technique, Eiji fell silent.
"In a world without superpowers or spiritual abilities, it shouldn't be hard for me to conquer the world, right? After all, humanity's proud weapon, the nuclear bomb, while its destructive power is greater than Purple and Cyan, is useless if it doesn't hit a target."
"Conquering the world? That sounds troublesome; it's more fun to just go for a walk."
Eiji shook his head, dismissing his silly idea.
"Previously, I speculated that I might be an alien from another planet who fell to Earth due to an accident, which caused my amnesia. It seems my assumption of being from another world makes more sense."
"Should I use Azure to find clues about myself?"
His heart was filled with doubt. The recovery of the Limitless Technique made him increasingly curious about his true self.
"No, that's too risky. Without coordinates of my home world, randomly activating Azure would just connect me to another world at random."
After pondering for a long time, Eiji decided against it.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
"Eiji, are you in there?"
The sound of knocking brought him back from his contemplation. He had been so focused that he didn't realize someone was approaching.
"Come in, Nino-san. The door isn't locked."
Even though the Nakano quintuplets had the same face, body shape, and voice, Eiji could distinguish them.
"Excuse me—"
Nino's voice caught in her throat upon seeing Eiji freed from the bonds of Earth's gravity.
"Feeling better, Nino-san?"
Since the situation had reached this point, Eiji felt there was no need to hide his superpower from Miku and Nino.
"Y-You... You..." Nino was too shocked to articulate.
"Calm down, Nino-san. I know what you mean; you can ask anything, and I will answer without lying."
His body slowly descended and sat on the bed, and Eiji could understand the other party's exaggerated reaction.
"Huffttt... Eiji, who are you really?"
Taking a deep breath, Nino had calmed down. Then she asked the most critical question.
"Kamiki Eiji, an Esper, maybe...?"
"You yourself seem uncertain. Didn't you say you wouldn't lie!"
"Nino-san knows I suffer from amnesia."
Facing Nino, Eiji shrugged, showing a helpless expression.
"Are you really an Esper?"
Humans fear the unknown. Nevertheless, love conquers fear. Nino sat beside Eiji without fear.
"I'm not sure. On that day, I awakened memories related to spatial manipulation power. As for my past, it remains a mystery."
"It's hard to believe that superpowers or something like that exist. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it."
Nino's curiosity about Eiji grew. Seeing him depressed, she wanted to comfort him. However, when she tried to pat his head, she discovered a shocking fact.
As if there were an invisible barrier separating them, Nino could not touch him.
"What's going on?"
"Ah, sorry, Nino-san. Infinity is still active; I forgot to deactivate it."
After Eiji said that, Nino was finally able to touch him.
"That was a strange sensation... I could feel my hand moving forward, but it never reached you. Can you explain what just happened?"
Nino had a better mental state compared to Miku. In just three days, her mental condition had improved significantly compared to the previous days. Of course, the tragedy had caused her to develop androphobia syndrome.
Except for her father and Eiji, Nino could hardly interact with men. Even Fuutarou was no exception.
As for Miku... Let's not mention her; she was still holed up in her room, too afraid to go out alone.
Right now, Nino could divert her trauma by discussing superpowers with Eiji.
"The reason Nino-san couldn't touch me is due to a defensive technique called Infinity, which is part of the Limitless Technique."
"Infinity? Limitless? That name sounds cool. Tell me more details."
"Limitless is a technique based on Zeno's paradox. Zeno's paradox is a series of paradoxes stating that motion cannot occur. This paradox is based on the assumption that space and time are a continuum divided into infinite small parts. The concept of this technique is based on Zeno's paradox, which states that if an object must cross distance X, it must first cross X, then from X, and so on. In other words, the object must pass through infinitely many steps to reach its goal."
"..."
Seeing Nino's confused expression, Eiji decided to simplify his explanation.
"In short, I use this technique by manipulating the space around my body to be infinite. This means that an opponent attacking me must go through infinitely many steps to reach me. Thus, the opponent's attacks become very slow and may even stop entirely."
"I see. Um, I understand."
Nino nodded, though she only understood part of it.
"Enough with this confusing talk. Eiji, today I want to repay you."
With a blush on her face, Nino pushed Eiji down onto the bed.
"Nino-san, what are you—"
Before Eiji could finish his words, Nino kissed his lips.
"Sorry, this isn't my first kiss." Nino said sadly.
"It's fine; I feel like it's not my first kiss either." Eiji didn't care about such trivial matters.
"Ugh... That was more annoying than I imagined. Then, I will make you remember only my kiss."
Without further ado, Nino kissed him again with uncontrolled enthusiasm. Her kiss was very deep, passionate, and soft yet strong. The warmth of her breath seemed to seep inside, while their tongues touched in an intense rhythm.
"Slurp..."
The kiss became deeper and more intense, with almost no pauses. Eiji could feel a tingling sensation, the intensity melting him further.
Unconsciously, Eiji let himself follow his impulses, his hands moving to caress and squeeze Nino's breasts.
"Ah~"
Hearing her moan, Eiji pulled his hands away.
"It's okay. If it's you, Eiji, you can touch me as much as you want." Nino said shyly.
After that, she kissed him again passionately.
After receiving the green light, Eiji no longer held back. Both of his hands roamed over Nino's entire body.
Their actions escalated as they shed the clothes they were wearing. Then, the soft bed underwent its greatest test since leaving the factory, enduring trials amid storm-like vibrations.
