21. Future Vision 5
“Okay, okay, I get it. Don’t get so worked up.”
She finally switched away from the still image of the kiss scene. I really don’t know what Dr. Gentian is thinking.
“But now you see, don’t you? You can have a perfectly normal, happy relationship with someone who’s not problematic.”
Compared to the visions of Uguisu and Himawari, that future was certainly unremarkable. If anything, it was the kind of ideal situation that most men would be jealous of.
“Don’t get me wrong. Depending on your choices, it’s possible that you could have a peaceful future even if you date Uguisu or Himawari.”
Huh? Is that so?
“I thought it was an instant bad end if I chose them.”
“That’s generally the case, but the future is infinite. Your thoughts and actions can change the future. You can’t possibly think that every single one of those futures would be unhappy, can you? Future vision can only show the single most likely future. There’s also something called the butterfly effect, and we can’t calculate how even the smallest changes you make along the way will affect the outcome.”
Even so, it would probably be impossible for me, with my lack of understanding of women and yandere, to make that happen. Maybe I should have played more dating sims.
“Well, even I, a genius, can’t say for sure. Science is too insignificant to measure the infinite potential of youth.”
She’s trying to cover it up with fancy words, but in the end, it means that she doesn’t know whether or not I’ll have a happy newlywed life with Uguisu and the others. And from what I can tell so far, it seems like there are all sorts of bad futures in store for me.
“But I want you to refrain from dating anyone while you’re working as a member of the Philance Blue—or rather, while you’re taking care of the heroes’ mental health.”
Suddenly, she’s imposing idol-like restrictions on me. I don’t have any plans to date anyone, and I don’t have the courage to do so at the moment.
“I know it must be hard, considering how warmly those beautiful girls treat you, but if you choose one of them, the other heroes will become weaker. And the heroes who are favored by you tend to go berserk. Until their powers stabilize, please refrain from choosing one of them or finding a girlfriend elsewhere. Of course, it’s not good to reject them too harshly either. I’m not saying you have to agree with everything they say, but being openly dismissive or negative. Possible to go berserk.”
“Whatever.”
Sadly, I don’t have any plans to find a girlfriend elsewhere.
“And of course, it’s forbidden to take advantage of their feelings and have a physical relationship with them. Especially with the younger ones.”
“I w-won’t do that!!”
How can she say such things so casually? I don’t know if she has no shame or if she doesn’t think of me as a man, but I feel like she’s teasing me with s*xual harassment just to see me flustered.
“Really? You don’t have to pretend to be a gentleman just because you’re in front of me. It may be hard for young people to understand these days, but for yandere, s*xual behavior weighs heavily on Marriage’s consent and respect. You better believe it. Don’t lay a hand on a yandere who doesn’t plan to share a grave with you, unless you want to lose your life.”
“I won’t lay a hand on them…”
For some reason, I hesitated slightly. Dr. Gentian’s lips curled into a grin as she watched me.
“Sora-kun, do you like big breasts? By the way, Uguisu has the biggest breasts among us.”
“Wh-What?! You can’t just go around telling people that! Uguisu will be so embarrassed!”
Despite my anger, my simple mind kept thinking about the image of Uguisu-san in her underwear, which I had seen earlier. When I was watching the video, I was depressed and didn’t look at her with lustful eyes, but now that I think about it, I think I did… quite a bit. Come to think of it, Uguisu-san always wears thick clothes, and I’ve never seen her in her hero suit. I remember that Philantropist Green was said to have a great figure in the active hero popularity poll.
“Are you blushing because you’re angry? Or because you’re thinking about something dirty?”
“N-no, I’m not thinking about anything! I’m angry! It’s not okay to talk to a man about someone’s breast size without their consent!”
I must have been blushing even more, because the doctor looked very satisfied.
“I had a hunch, but Sora-kun, you’re quite the novice. But don’t worry, it’s not just Uguisu; the others wouldn’t mind being looked at in a s*xual way by you either. Of course, I don’t want you to do anything blatant, but I think they’d actually be happy if you were a little bit aware of them.”
He had a smirk on his face, and I couldn’t tell if he was serious or joking.
“By the way, next in line would be me, Akane, and Momo. But even though Mirai-chan was only a high schooler, she was bigger than Momo… Ah, but that’s just talking about size. If you’re talking about cup size, Akane is definitely the biggest.”
“Definitely…”
I couldn’t help but let out a sound.
“No! How long are we going to talk about breasts, Doctor?!”
The doctor’s mood has been strange ever since that newlywed video earlier. I’m getting a little carried away too, but now is my chance to learn about the dangers of the heroes with the future predictions.
“Stop messing around and show me the next prediction. You have Akane-san’s and Momo’s too, right?”
If I let the doctor keep talking, he might even say something specific. I’m honestly interested, but this isn’t the time to be getting excited about something like a high school boy.
“Alright, alright, don’t be in such a hurry.”
He exaggerated a sigh as if I was being unreasonable and started operating his laptop.
“I’m sure you’ve already made up your mind to watch them all, right? Does the order matter to you?”
“No, it doesn’t.”
It’s scary, but if I use the future predictions, I can learn about the dangers of the future without any risk. There’s no harm in watching.
“Well then, let’s start with Akane…”
Akane-san and my future. I still don’t understand it well, but Akane-san seems to like me. If that’s the case, then it’s possible that we could get married in the future. And if it’s Akane-san, she already has the strongest power among the heroes, so she wouldn’t be as affected by my yandere maker.
“…Hmm? That’s strange.”
The doctor, who was trying to show me my future with Akane-san, tilted his head.
“For some reason, there’s an error and the future with Akane won’t play… This is strange. She likes you, so the future of the two of you getting married should be playable. I made it so that it would basically play as long as it’s not a future that currently has no possibility of existing, like the marriage of someone who has no intention of leaving Japan with someone who has no intention of leaving America, or the future of a man who is only interested in men and a woman. Hmm, it’s still not working.”

That’s strange. Even the doctor and I, who don’t have any romantic feelings for each other, were able to play it.
“Why do you think that is?”
I’m a little disappointed, because I was expecting it.
“Well, there’s nothing we can do if it doesn’t play. I’ll look into the cause later. For today, let’s just watch Momo’s.”
“Alright.”
Momo… I’m curious about what happened with the Philantropist Red plush, but she seems to have the most ordinary girl-like personality of the four. She’s like a high school girl who likes trendy things and seems a little bit of a fangirl. At first glance, she might seem like the furthest thing from a yandere.
Still, I’ve learned my lesson, so I’ll be somewhat prepared. I don’t think it will be as bad as Mirai’s future, but I should be prepared to have my heart broken a little.
“This one seems to be playing fine.”
I wonder why I couldn’t see my future with Akane-san. If the other futures are playing, then it wasn’t a problem with the equipment.
“Oh, Sora-kun.”
“What is it?”
“That… Try not to be too shocked.”
“?”
I wondered why he was giving me such a belated warning, but I focused on the screen that was projected.
