"It seems like everything has been perfectly resolved, thanks to Amane-san's help. If there's nothing else, I'll just..."
Ichinose, with a smile on her face, intended to leave, but was stopped by Amane-san.
"I didn't realize Honami, you liked me."
Amane-san's ambiguous gaze scrutinized Ichinose.
It had to be said that Ichinose's figure was quite impressive, and most importantly, her face was very cute. Amane-san had always wanted to find an opportunity to pinch her cheeks, but unfortunately, she never had the chance.
Now that Ichinose had conveniently come over, she felt it would be a huge loss not to tease her a bit.
"This was just to reject Classmate Shiraha, you know. How about I treat Classmate Amane to bubble tea? As an apology."
Ichinose awkwardly offered to treat Amane-san to bubble tea as compensation.
"You think one cup of bubble tea can bribe me? Honami, you underestimate me too much."
Amane-san rubbed her hands, eyeing Ichinose's body with mischievous intent.
"Then, then what kind of compensation do you want, Amane?"
Ichinose covered her chest, somewhat warily putting some distance between herself and Amane-san.
"Of course, I want Honami, you..."
"No, we can't do such a thing, and besides, with Classmate Amane, you..."
"...selfie."
Ichinose took a full three minutes to recover.
"Selfie? Amane, do you mean you want my picture?"
Ichinose repeatedly confirmed with Amane-san.
She was afraid that Amane-san's intention wasn't just to get a photo.
"That's right, I just want Honami, your selfie. Honami, your reaction is very strange, you know."
Amane-san's teasing gaze made Ichinose's face flush crimson.
"I thought Amane, you wanted to... Oh, how about I send you the selfie tonight, Amane?"
Right now, Ichinose just wanted to escape this place quickly.
Unlike Shiraha-san, who liked to be direct.
Amane-san was extremely skilled at playing cat and mouse, and after a few rounds, Ichinose was already red-faced and eager to leave.
"I want it now, preferably in a gym uniform or swimsuit."
Seeing that Amane-san was still making demands.
Ichinose originally wanted to haggle, but then she remembered that she had just used Amane-san as a shield, so it didn't seem too much for the other party to make a few demands.
"Alright, but I need to go to the changing room to change first."
"I'll go with you~"
The reason Ichinose agreed to Amane-san was that she also realized that her casual remark, while making Amane-san take the blame, also put her in Amane-san's debt.
If it were a classmate, it would be fine, but if she rashly incurred a favor from someone in another class, Ichinose judged that if there was a way to repay it, it would be better to do so as soon as possible.
After all, as a member of the Student Council, if Amane were to use that favor in the future to ask her to help with something that violated school rules and principles, it might be difficult for her.
If she refused to help, it would affect their relationship, so considering both fairness and friendship, it was necessary to repay such a favor as soon as possible.
That's why Ichinose agreed to this request, which was slightly intrusive.
"First, let me say, if possible, I hope Amane you won't spread these photos of me casually… At least don't let people recognize me, or I'll die of embarrassment."
Ichinose reminded her, a little uneasy. Even though they were normal photos of her in sports clothes, if they were to spread… she could imagine some people looking at her strangely.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't share such a beautiful Honami with anyone else."
Amane's words made Ichinose shyly turn her head away.
"I'm not that pretty."
Being praised so directly by Amane for her looks made Ichinose, who was originally a little confident in her appearance, blush crimson.
"You look good even when you're shy."
Amane gave Ichinose a thumbs up.
"You're annoying, Amane. If you keep this up, I won't let you take pictures."
Ichinose feigned anger, which finally made Amane stop teasing her.
But Ichinose quickly discovered a new problem.
Amane was actually staring at her from behind.
"Um… Amane, I'm going to change."
"I know."
??!
This isn't a matter of knowing or not knowing.
"Um… Amane, could you wait for me outside the door for a moment? I'm still a bit shy."
Ichinose even used the excuse of being shy.
Even Amane could only scratch her cheek.
"Alright, what a shame."
What are you regretting?!
Ichinose felt a little tired.
She always felt like she kept encountering strange people at this school. Just as Ichinose was changing, she suddenly looked back alertly.
The wardrobe next to her seemed normal.
But a white cowlick was stuck outside the door.
Amane was peeking!
Ichinose originally wanted to angrily pull Amane out.
But on second thought, if she exposed her like this, Amane might lose face. Anyway, they were both girls, so there was nothing to hide.
Ichinose continued to change her clothes.
Amane, who had originally thought Ichinose's figure was quite good, had her eyes blinded by a pair of creamy white snow-like breasts the next second.
This size seemed to be quite a bit larger than hers.
It must feel very comfortable to touch… I mean, it must be very strenuous to run with, it's really hard for her, so I should definitely have a good chat with her when I have time.
However, the shape was a bit too erotic. Amane looked for a few minutes before hastily averting her gaze.
She was afraid that if she looked any longer, she wouldn't be able to control herself.
Ichinose put on a white tracksuit and blue form-fitting sports pants, a perfect standard outfit for physical education.
Then she deliberately left the room first, giving Amane a chance to come out.
"I feel a bit ashamed like this."
"It's fine, you'll get used to it."
"Get used to it???"
Ichinose blinked, seemingly not understanding Amane's meaning.
"Put your hands behind your head, hmm… I'll tie your hands, don't worry, I won't use force, okay, move your leg this way a bit, lift your hips up, yes, just like that."
Click, click, click, click.
Ichinose stared blankly at Amane's incredibly fast hand speed, as if she was pressing the shutter button so hard it would spark.
"Wait, Amane, didn't we agree on just one picture?"
Ichinose asked in a panic.
"I didn't say it was just one, how about a hundred to start?"
"No! Absolutely not!!!"
"I heard the mille-feuille mousse cake at the bakery is delicious lately, I can treat you."
Ichinose's resistance paused.
If she remembered correctly, that seemed quite expensive, one costing nearly ten thousand points.
It wasn't that Ichinose couldn't afford the cake.
But such an expensive item seemed quite uneconomical to Ichinose, as it would be gone after eating. So, when she occasionally passed by, she would just crave it and then move on.
"I… I don't really like cake… and I need to lose weight lately, so…"
"Two."
"Then strawberry it is."
"Hehe, then let's change poses."
However, what Ichinose didn't know was that these photos of her would spread in the school in another strange way, even causing a very enthusiastic craze.
