2 Time Stops asking you to do this?

"Let me think about what I should do later so I can look like a normal person."

Looking at the objects and people around him whose time had stopped, Ren thought.

There is no time limit for time to stop, because it only counts from opening to closing, as long as he doesn't let time flow back, time will continue to stop.

Hence, he now had enough time to think about the current situation.

To be honest, he had many ways to deal with this situation.

However, if Esper is restricted from violating other people's rights, then the means he can use will be greatly reduced.

Things like memory replacement cannot be used just like that, because it will see other people's memories and thus violate other people's privacy.

He respects the most basic human rights.

While trying not to influence others, he now had two choices.

One is to use [Time Rewind] to return time to when his superpower was not out of control, then do nothing and wait quietly for the superpower to go out of control.

This way, the snack aisle will not be damaged.

This method sounds perfect, but there is a fatal problem.

Ren didn't want to use [Time Rewind].

Because by using [Time Rewind], he would know what would happen later, thus destroying his expectations of an unknown life.

Even if it was only a short time to return to the past, that was something he couldn't allow.

Therefore, he would never use this reasonable-sounding method.

Unless it gets to the point where he has to use it.

Then the second way remains, namely rationalizing the fall of the snacks.

After ruling out the first method, he could only choose the second method.

Now that he had determined his next course of action, he had nothing to worry about now.

Choose the snacks he wants to buy first, and put the others aside first.

"Let me think about what she put in her shopping basket."

As Ren thought about it, he suddenly realized a problem.

He had stopped time, why was he still thinking about it?

So Ren turned to look at Mafuyu who was still grabbing snacks.

Her long pink hair naturally fell down to her waist. Her uniformed body bent over, showing off her beautiful curves. She was holding a shopping basket in her left hand and a bag of potato chips in her right hand, staring at the items in the basket, looking like she was choosing.

"What a rare opportunity."

Ren walked slowly behind her, took the shopping basket from Mafuyu's hand, then put the shopping basket into his hand.

"Why should I choose? Can't I just take it?"

After confirming that there were only snacks in the shopping basket and no other strange items, Ren couldn't help but praise himself for his intelligence.

As long as he doesn't choose, he won't fall into the situation of making the wrong choice.

It doesn't matter if some of these snacks are not the type that most people like.

Because it was Mafuyu who took the snacks, not him, Ren just exchanged shopping baskets between the two of them.

So the one at fault wasn't him, but Mafuyu.

He is still an ordinary person who supports the majority.

Ren stared at the snacks that were still floating in the air. If he lifted [Time Stop] now, if nothing happened, at least three bags of snacks would hit Mafuyu.

"Then as compensation..."

Ren reached out and moved all the snacks aside to make sure none of the snacks hit Mafuyu once time resumed.

After doing this, Ren returned to his original position, ready to carry out his plan.

First, he uses his superpowers to restore a shelf he accidentally bent, then he uses his superpowers to create a small earthquake.

Under his control, this earthquake will definitely not cause casualties or property loss, the impact is only natural if snacks suddenly fall.

Finally, use protective superpowers to delete today's surveillance video so that others will not notice the abnormality through the surveillance video.

In this way, the reason why the snack fell off the shelf can be explained.

"Okay."

Ren estimated the time to recover from what happened, confirmed everything would go according to his plan, and nodded in satisfaction.

Time starts to flow.

So Ren canceled [Time Stop].

The snacks that were originally in the air were immediately affected by gravity the moment time stopped and fell to the ground one by one.

At the same time, there was also a slight vibration coming from underground.

"What happened?"

Mafuyu looked at the snacks that fell suddenly, with a confused expression on her face.

"Why is my shopping basket empty?"

She subconsciously wanted to stay away from here, but soon discovered something strange.

The shopping basket in her hand that was almost full turned into an empty basket for some reason.

It was as if the item she had chosen earlier was just air.

Realizing that Mafuyu realized something was wrong, Ren immediately left the place and walked towards the cashier.

(It's up to you to choose again.)

Ren looked at the snacks after paying and secretly apologized in his heart.

What happened on the shelves quickly caught the attention of officers. At this time, Ren had already come out of the convenience store carrying snacks, leaving only his back.

"Food purchase completed successfully."

Breathing in the slightly cold air outside again, Ren looked very calm.

"Then I just need to go home safely and complete today's mission."

Thinking about the next thing, Ren obviously relaxed a lot.

Returning home was too simple for him.

All he needed to do was teleport and he could return home safely.

But he couldn't do that, because most people would never use teleportation to go home.

So, like most ordinary people, he had to walk home.

"Going home is easy. I just have to walk backwards when I get to the convenience store."

After encouraging himself, Ren was ready to start the great journey called home.

"Excuse me, do you know where Nishigahara Apartments is?"

At this moment, a pleasant female voice sounded in Ren's ears.

"!!!"

Ren turned around and looked at the owner of the voice.

The first thing that attracts attention is the sweet smile that seems to be able to cure everything. Beautiful facial features indicate the creator's favoritism. The white skin shines in the sun, and the whole body radiates divine light.

The gentle breeze gently blew her waist-length golden hair, which proved that she really existed in this world and was not a beautiful fantasy.

"Are you asking me?"

Ren looked a little overwhelmed.

Big crisis!

How would ordinary people react when they meet a beautiful girl and ask for directions?

He had never looked for information like this before coming here.

How could he answer like an ordinary person?
