Aozawa dared to accept Phoenix Academy Maggie's offer, naturally because he had once again unlocked a formidable superpower this week.
Temporal displacement.
This superpower allows him to splice together different time-spaces, forming a multilayered space known only to him.
For example, he could be dating Phoenix Academy Maggie in Shinjuku, without affecting his ability to extract the space of Shibuya.
Allowing him to simultaneously date Arakawa Reina in Shibuya.
He appears in two different places at the same time, accompanied by different people.
Yet the two would not discover each other.
Their spaces are displaced.
Only Aozawa can see the images of the two time-spaces, making him an uncertain factor in the world at that moment.
Drifting outside of time and space, unaffected by either.
With such a superpower, he doesn't even need to use Will-o'-the-wisp to hypnotize them into going to the same place for a date with him; he can just use temporal displacement.
There would be no flaws revealed.
Phoenix Academy Maggie was unaware of this information, but seeing Aozawa answer so decisively, she felt a rush of indescribable sweetness through her initial shock.
Aozawa still cared about her.
Otherwise, on such an important day as Christmas, Phoenix Academy Maggie couldn't believe they hadn't asked Aozawa to spend Christmas together.
But after receiving her invitation, Aozawa resolutely agreed to go out with her.
Am I really that selfish?
Phoenix Academy Maggie fell into a brief hesitation.
Yoshikawa Sayuri couldn't help but peek at the screen, and seeing that Aozawa had agreed, she asked in confusion: "Maggie, why don't you agree quickly?"
"I can't monopolize Aozawa on such an important day like Christmas."
Phoenix Academy Maggie exhaled heavily, considering what would happen to the others when Aozawa was on a date with her.
Nomura True Wave thought for a moment, spreading her hands: "Do you think maybe they think the same way, so on Christmas Day, Aozawa instead is the freest, with no one asking him out?"
Phoenix Academy Maggie was slightly taken aback, feeling this possibility wasn't nonexistent, perhaps she could send a message to Ayatsuki Ayaka to test it out.
Wait a minute, she thought, and felt it wasn't quite right.
If they really thought that way, sending a message might remind Ayatsuki Ayaka.
Wouldn't that be shooting herself in the foot?
After thinking it over, Phoenix Academy Maggie decided to ask him out!
This was an opportunity that wouldn't come again if missed.
They decided not to give her a push from the side.
Phoenix Academy Maggie quickly typed: "Alright, tomorrow at nine in the morning."
After a slight hesitation, Phoenix Academy Maggie fell into deep thought.
Her current reputation was too big, and those lively places were out of the question, nor did she want to wrap herself up like a zongzi during the date.
Wearing a mask and sunglasses, what kind of date was that? It completely dimmed her light.
As for using Will-o'-the-wisp to hypnotize the people they met and change her appearance,
she felt it was inappropriate.
After all, during a date, one should be wholehearted, and having Aozawa distracted by the surroundings clearly impacted their atmosphere.
Phoenix Academy Maggie deleted the previous message and decided to meet for dinner instead.
Besides, on Christmas Day, her mother was to inspect the Self-Defense Forces to see if the bullying within had improved.
The Imperial Palace would be vacant.
"Let's meet at five in the evening at the Imperial Palace."
Phoenix Academy Maggie sent the message.
Aozawa, seeing her message, chose the evening.
Meeting on Christmas evening was just having dinner together?
He felt a surge of excitement, realizing that this dinner wouldn't just be dinner.
"Alright, I'll be there on time."
Aozawa quickly replied, also preparing to dress nicely, remembering to clean himself up before going out.
Ensuring the scent of body wash and shampoo was pleasant.
Even the props needed to be cleaned.
Since it would be the first time, they probably wouldn't develop to the extent of exploring all routes.
The lady wasn't as bold as Arakawa Reina, opening up all lanes on the first run.
But getting in would already be considered a victory.
Aozawa clenched both fists and opened Arakawa Reina's chat interface.
He originally wanted everyone to be together, happily celebrating Christmas.
However, Phoenix Academy Maggie wanted to offer her first time on this holiday.
The original plans naturally had to be discarded, and he decided to date Arakawa Reina individually.
With his current ability, he could handle it all.
...
Winter dusk often comes early.
Around four o'clock, Phoenix Academy Maggie bid farewell to her two friends and returned to the Imperial Palace.
The sky had already turned dim.
Phoenix Academy Maggie entered Toyomei-den, where the dandelion-shaped chandelier was lit.
The hall was filled with warm air, creating a cozy atmosphere.
She removed her mask and sunglasses, taking off her thick down jacket and handing it to the maid nearby, then stepped forward.
Kochou glanced at her, speaking: "Do you have any plans for Christmas tomorrow?"
"I want to hang out with some classmates."
Phoenix Academy Maggie didn't directly mention Aozawa's name.
It wasn't out of shyness, just to avoid trouble.
She understood her mother's personality well.
Once her mother learned about the intimate relationship between Aozawa and her, she might want to exploit that relationship to get closer to Morimoto Chiyoda.
Even subtly instructing Aozawa to help with certain matters.
Phoenix Academy Maggie didn't want things to turn out that way.
Moreover, since Aozawa was juggling relationships, marriage was out of the question, so there was no need to expose their relationship, just maintaining their secret connection.
