Summary
The chapter starts off with Saiki walking home while being accompanied by Nendou who is excited for his ‘date’. Flashback to 31 minutes before meeting with Nendou, Saiki experiences a headache due to his certain ability – Precognition. He explains that this ability allows him to see certain parts of the future but the flaw to this amazing ability is that it doesn’t pinpoint exactly where you want to see the future and that the futures you do see are completely random and ‘trash’. Whenever this ability activates, Saiki experiences different levels of headaches. The ability is further demonstrated when Saiki sees the future of an old lady and bonders on what will happen. Soon after the vision happens with another old man (mysterious man from the vision) goes to embrace the woman from behind believing it is his wife. As Saiki concludes that he’s not needed he begins to walk away only for Nendou to intercept the old man believing him to be a thief. The scene changes to Nendou thanking Saiki for saving him from being arrested for the assault on the old man who was wrong in his identification of the old woman. While Nendou continues to the silent Saiki, he gets another vision of a shrine with a man looking like Nendou in the frame. In order to protect his ‘pal’ from death, Saiki decides to accompany Nendou. While eating with Nendou, it comes to Saiki’s attention that Nendu has a date – something that would never happen. He then gets a vision of the girl, Yumi, talking with her friends about how she’s going to reject Nendou. After the vision Nendou’s phone rings to which he discovers it’s from Yumi who rudely explains that it was only because she lost a bet that she agreed to go out with him and continues to make fun of him. Luckily before that could happen Saiki uses Teleportation to replaced Yumi’s phone with Nendou’s eyeball bowling ball. Nendou then receives a text from ‘Yumi’ that she won’t be able to make it to the date because of ‘exams’ and such. The text is revealed to be from Saiki who got her phone. Seeing how down Nendou looks Saiki decides to ‘comfort’ him with Nendou showing him the text from ‘Yumi’. The scene changes with Saiki accompanying Nendou to his home where he discovers the vision of Nendou’s shrine actually turns out to be a shrine for his dad not Nendou.
