Chapter 17: “Is This Finally the Reunion!?” ①

Shinonome Abe had already left, dragging his sisters Kirara and Onsa along with him—

But the rest of the ladies, starting with Amaterasu, still hadn’t snapped out of it.

The only ones acting normal were the Minazuki sisters.

So Natsuki and the others were left standing around, awkwardly wondering, “Uh… what now?”

And that’s when it happened.

“Heyyyyy! Kazuto-samaaaa~!”

Someone came flying in out of nowhere and tackled Kazuto into a full-on hug.

She moved so fast—and with zero hostility or presence—

Natsuki and the others didn’t even have time to react.

“Eh? Eh? Eh? W-Who are you!?”

“I missed you sooo much! It’s been forever!”

Kazuto looked completely flustered as this grown woman clung to him out of nowhere.

And well—who could blame him?

She had long, wavy blonde hair. Her figure? Fit and toned, but with all the right curves.

Basically, a total knockout of a foreign beauty.

And now she was hugging him tight, rubbing her cheek against his.

No middle school boy on Earth could keep his cool in a situation like that.

Especially when she was dressed like a gym coach—

Snug workout tights, a cropped tight T-shirt, and a light hoodie thrown over the top.

Any kid his age would’ve turned beet red just from that alone.

But this was a foreign beauty doing it?

Yeah. Game over.

“…Whoa, she’s like one of those foreign fitness influencers you see on social media.”

“Yeah. Totally looks like the kind who post way too many squat videos from behind.”

“Yup. Always angling the camera just right to show off their butt.”

“…Thicc. Slim. Thicc. That kinda deal.”

Natsuki, Senju, and Yusuke all had the exact same thought—

And little Yoshimasa summed it up with a good old-fashioned phrase.

Honestly, he wasn’t wrong.

“Boys are the worst…”

“Hey! You boys! What kind of trash are you watching on social media every day!? Perverts!”

Mio turned red, while Miyako snapped.

“Wait, hear me out! We’ve never looked at social media with impure thoughts! I swear on Amaterasu-sama herself!”

“Ah, nope. That makes it even more suspicious. Swearing on a goddess just makes it worse!”

“T-Then how about Susanoo-no-Mikoto?”

“That’s even worse!!”

“…Yeah, fair. I’m sorry. I was kind of in a pervy mood while scrolling. But hey—we’re boys! Plus, I’m more of a legs guy anyway!”

“…Gross.”

“Right!? I don’t even know why I just shouted out my preferences like that!!”

Natsuki buried his face in his hands and shouted—

And for some reason, that very moment jolted Amaterasu and the others back to their senses.

And then—

They screamed.

“—Wha, Jessie-san!? I was busy fantasizing about Kazuto-kyun being my personal Yamata-no-Orochi, and you just swoop in like that!?”

“…Oi, Amaterasu-sama.”

While Shinonome Abe had been off having a totally serious conversation, the sun goddess herself had apparently been off in fantasy land.

And now, Miyako called her out in a low, menacing tone.

“What’s up with this bombshell babe with the thicc-thicc-gym-squat-vibes who totally looks like she films her butt from behind and posts it online!?”

“…Koume-chan, you’re literally just saying what every guy here was already thinking.”

Honestly, the boys had already been bad enough, but Koume’s first reaction wasn’t doing them any favors either.

“Wait, hold on. Amaterasu-sama—did you just say… Jessie?”

“That’s right! She’s the gym instructor grandma Unkai scouted in town—one of those foreign types!”

“Dang, Lady Unkai’s got some serious charisma! Total social beast! But wait, that name—Jessie? As in…”

“Oh! I remember! The pirate thing! The day Natsuki-kun and Jack-san beat up those pirates!”

When Natsuki brought it up, Kazuto finally made the connection too.

The woman who’d just bear-hugged him…

“That’s meee~! I’m Jessie Randock Jasper Williamson Hanamaki, Jack-nii’s little sister! I missed you so much, Kazuto-sama, I chased you all the way to Earth~!”



〜〜Afterword〜〜

Jessie-san finally joins the chaos!

Senju: “—She’s the sister of a god!? So… she’s basically a goddess!?”

Yusuke: “Earth? That means she’s an alien!!” Shing!!

Seishiro: “Kazuto really does attract a crowd, huh.”

Yoshimasa: “Looks like more rivals just entered the ring.” tug tug!!

Mio: “Wait… Jessie-san had a crush on Kazuto-kun?” Shock!!

Miyako: “Hold on—did she seriously just say Earth?”
