How to Avoid an SS-Rank Esper

“Ever since I touched you, I can’t control my feelings.”

Banteon, a teacher at the Royal Esper Center, was secretly enjoying the night when he encountered Delroz, an SS-rank Esper, collapsed on the street. He ends up guiding Delroz. The next day, Delroz starts looking for the person who guided him that night. Banteon, not wanting to get involved, tries to avoid him. However, despite his efforts, Banteon keeps running into Delroz.

What will happen to the Esper who is determined to find his guide and the guide who wants to escape him?

For some unknown reason, Delroz firmly believed that the guide who saved him was a woman. His conviction was so strong that he didn’t doubt it even with the person in question right in front of him.

Gaining confidence that he had not been discovered yet, Banteon crossed his arms and looked at Delroz. He spoke in a calm voice, as if he were a third party.

“I hope you find the rumored guide soon, but it has nothing to do with me. Now, return my belongings.”

“Hmm…”

At Banteon’s firm words, Delroz fell into silent contemplation, not moving at all. Even as time passed, he didn’t budge. Finally, a tired Banteon urged him again.

“I heard it’s a woman with long hair.”

“That’s right.”

A clean affirmation returned. Banteon was curious about why Delroz was so sure it was a woman. Knowing full well that the misunderstanding was advantageous for him, he still asked.

“I heard you were in a dangerous state, but you seem to remember quite clearly?”

“She was beautiful.”

“What?”

Banteon asked again, momentarily doubting his ears.

“She was the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen. It’s repulsive to think a man would ever look good to me.”
