Chapter 58 Limitations of Abilities
"Uh... you can see now?"
Feeling a little guilty, Natsuo withdrew his hand when Yukino Yukino looked at him coldly.
"Huh—! Natsuo, when did you get here? I didn't notice you at all!" Yui Yuigahama also noticed Natsuo at this moment, her eyes wide open, and she exclaimed in surprise.
"It seems that the ability to conceal one's presence is indeed useful." Shiina Mahiru understood the situation and smiled slightly.
"Hehe, you guys really didn't notice?" Natsumi returned to his seat and sat down, not daring to look at Yukino Yukinoshita, whose expression was slightly cold.
"No! We didn't notice at all! We haven't seen you since you went down, Natsuo," Yui Yuigahama replied excitedly.
"It seems that this ability can achieve the same effect as invisibility as long as I don't do anything to attract your attention."
Xia Sheng was satisfied; this way, he wouldn't have to worry about anyone coming to find him.
The only problem with this ability is that it's useless if you use it in front of the other person; you have to use it when they're not paying attention.
That is, to get out of the other person's sight first.
Ultimately, it's not true invisibility; it only conceals one's presence. If the other party keeps watching, it won't work.
"Wow, that's amazing! Now we don't have to worry anymore, right?" Yui Yuigahama seemed very excited; she was happy for Natsuo.
"Perhaps it's our turn to worry," Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly said.
"Eh? Yukinoshita, you mean...?"
"This ability is too overpowered in this world. If he uses it to do bad things..." Yukino Yukinoshita didn't finish her sentence, but everyone present understood what she meant.
"No way, Natsuo isn't that kind of person." Yui Yuigahama believed in Natsuo and spoke up for him with a smile.
"I think so too," Shiina Mahiru chimed in.
"You two, do you know that you can know a person's face but not their heart?" Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head, glancing at Natsuo out of the corner of her eye.
"Ahem, it's my fault, I apologize, I'm sorry!" Xia Sheng clasped his hands together and immediately bowed his head in apology.
That joke just now seems to have gone a bit too far.
"Huh—Natsuo, why are you apologizing to Yukinoshita?" Yui Yuigahama asked, puzzled, as she hadn't seen Natsuo's actions.
"Well, I just made a joke by accident, so..."
"A joke? What joke?"
"It's nothing... Never mind, it's not a big deal, I'll let it go." Yukino Yukinoshita sighed, not wanting to say more.
"What exactly happened?"
"I was just teasing her, but Yukino doesn't seem to like being teased," Natsuo explained.
"I see, that's true. Yukinoshita gives off a very serious vibe," Yuigahama Yui agreed.
"Do you have a problem with that?" Yukino Yukinoshita glared at Natsuo.
"No, no," Xia Sheng waved his hands repeatedly.
"Being serious is great, I like being serious the most. What kind of person is someone who laughs and jokes around?"
"Huh? Hehehehe?"
Now it was Yuigahama Yui's turn to be unhappy; she's usually all smiles and laughter.
"Ahem, just kidding. I like laughing and joking too. Being serious is no good; it makes the atmosphere so tense."
"Oh, really?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked coldly.
"...Can you pretend I didn't say anything? It's all my fault!" Xia Sheng gave up.
"Hmph." Yukino Yukinoshita let out a soft hum, her tone revealing a hint of satisfaction.
"Natsuo, you really don't dislike girls who are all smiles and laughter, do you?" Yui Yuigahama asked cautiously, still unsure.
"I don't dislike it! Not at all!"
"Phew—that's good..." Yui Yuigahama breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.
There seemed to be some fluctuation.
Natsuo noticed that Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze was momentarily drawn to him.
He decided to pretend he hadn't seen anything and changed the subject: "Can you guys do another experiment for me?"
"experiment?"
"Um."
The experiment Xia Sheng was going to conduct was to see if the camera could capture him.
He left again and went downstairs, while Yukino and the others turned on their phone cameras and pointed them at the stairwell.
They didn't look at the camera themselves, but instead kept their eyes glued to the stairwell, just like before.
After using his ability, Xia Sheng went upstairs.
This time was no different; Yukino and the others didn't see him either.
Natsumi came to their side and tapped the table as a reminder; this time, he dared not tease Yukino Yukinoshita.
Just now, on a whim, looking at Yukino Yukinoshita's serious and delicate face, I couldn't help but have some thoughts.
Their relationship isn't that good yet.
"Huh?! Natsuo, what are you doing here all of a sudden?" Yui Yuigahama exclaimed in surprise.
"This ability is really overpowered," Shiina Mahiru couldn't help but exclaim.
"It all depends on this guy's self-discipline now," Yukino Yukinoshita said, still urging him on.
"I'm not that kind of person... and this ability can't be used to touch people, so I can't do anything with it," Xia Sheng said helplessly.
This time, he suffered a great loss for a small gain, and Yukino Yukinoshita's attitude towards him worsened.
"You can't touch anyone, but that doesn't mean you can't peek."
"Peeping!" Yui Yuigahama exclaimed nervously.
"Why are you so agitated? I'm not going to peek at you," Xia Sheng said irritably.
"Ugh—that's so mean! My figure isn't bad either, you know." Yui Yuigahama pouted, retorting with dissatisfaction, and even puffed out her chest as if to prove it.
Xia Sheng's gaze involuntarily fell over; it was indeed quite good, especially compared to the people next to it.
"..." Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze was drawn to her again, and her brows seemed to twitch slightly.
"Ahem, let's get back to business. Quickly check how the camera is doing." Xia Sheng coughed twice and immediately changed the subject.
If this continues, Yukino Yukinoshita's attitude towards Yui Yuigahama will also worsen.
The three of them also turned off the camera, saved the file, and then played it back to view it.
"Huh—! Natsumi's here!"
"I have some too."
"Looks like you can't do bad things anymore." Yukino Yukinoshita glanced up at him and smiled.
"I never intended to do anything bad... I was just joking, it's normal between friends," Xia Sheng couldn't help but explain.
"Friend... alright, then this won't happen again." Yukino Yukinoshita's tone was relaxed; she had indeed forgiven it this time.
"Okay, okay, I promise!" Xia Sheng quickly assured him.
"I'm a little curious about what Natsuo did to Yukinoshita just now," Yui Yuigahama said, her curiosity piqued.
"Never mind that, just continue with my other experiments. I want to see if you can see me while you're watching the camera." Xia Sheng didn't want to continue this topic.
He finally got Yukino Yukinoshita's forgiveness.
After leaving and going downstairs again, Xia Sheng prepared to use his ability, but he found that he couldn't use it this time.
He used his ability as easily as wielding an arm just now, but now it feels like his arm is gone and he can't use it anymore.
Why is this happening?
Is there a limit to the number of uses?
Natsumi frowned in thought, then went back upstairs and walked toward Yukino and the others.
"Natsuo, we can see you through the camera," Yui Yuigahama said, oblivious to Natsuo's expression.
"What's wrong with you?" Yukino Yukinoshita noticed.
"There's a problem." Natsumi sat down next to Shiina Mahiru.
"I can't use my abilities anymore."
"What?" Yukino Yukinoshita was taken aback.
"I can't use my abilities anymore; it's like I'm being restricted."
"How could this be..." Yui Yuigahama panicked.
"Is it restricted? Is there a limit to the number of uses?" Shiina Mahiru asked.
"Maybe... I haven't used it that many times before." Xia Sheng shook his head, indicating uncertainty.
"Don't worry, it's possible there are daily usage limits," Shiina Mahiru comforted her.
"Yes, yes, that's how it's always like that in novels, isn't it?" Yui Yuigahama quickly chimed in.
"Number of uses per day..."
He only used it twice today. If there's a limit to how many times you can use it each day, does that mean you can only use it twice a day?
"Is it really unusable?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked calmly.
"I would never lie to you about something like this."
"In that case... then try that special ability."
"special......"
Xia Sheng tried using the special attribute, but it still wouldn't work.
