"Let go quickly! It really hurts, let go!"
Suzune's anger had subsided by half. She released her hold on Ryunosuke. The young man breathed a sigh of relief while muttering softly.
"What a violent woman!"
Suzune immediately launched a kick at Ryunosuke's shin, but her strength wasn't too great, clearly she was holding back.
After that, Suzune turned to leave, and Ryunosuke also prepared to go home.
Their first serious meeting ended just like that.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
The next morning, precisely on the sixth day.
Because Ryunosuke had already obtained the details of the school's rules of play, everything became much easier. Now was the time to move to the next stage.
While walking to school, he took out his phone and sent a message to Masumi.
Akasaka: "Do you have time, Kamuro?"
Masumi: "I do. What's your business this time?"
Facing the curt question from Masumi, Ryunosuke didn't care and continued replying.
"Can you invite Sakayanagi Arisu from your class to talk with me?"
On the other end of the phone, Masumi snorted in disgust and typed a reply: "Pedophile, just die."
Ryunosuke: "😐"
"I already told you I'm not a pedophile. I have important business to discuss with her. Can you help me get her to come out? I'll give you 50,000 points."
Masumi thought for a moment then replied, "No need to give me points. I'll get her to come out for you."
After that, she turned off her phone.
Ryunosuke stared at his phone screen with a helpless feeling.
"At least tell me the time and location! If you don't say anything, where am I supposed to look for you?"
Ryunosuke sent a brief message again.
Masumi only replied "Okay, I'll let you know later" then disappeared again.
Ryunosuke could only shake his head. Whatever made that girl so rushed. He put his phone in his pocket and prepared to enter class.
Upon arriving at class, he was immediately stuck to by Kushida. The girl approached intimately and smiled sweetly.
"Good morning, Akasaka-kun! This time you won't avoid me anymore, right?"
Seeing that face so innocent, cute, and with sparkling eyes, it was hard to imagine she was the same person as the figure from last night. Ryunosuke nodded and answered briefly.
"I won't..."
Other students in class who saw that scene were stunned again. They all thought inwardly: Since when did their relationship become that close?
The bell rang and lessons began. No one had time to think about their sudden closeness anymore.
Although lessons were in progress, Class D students acted as they pleased. Some played on their phones, listened to music, and some were even worse like Yamauchi who openly played PS console without caring about the teacher.
Ryunosuke felt dizzy. These people couldn't possibly spend 100,000 points in just 6 days, right?
This was bad! He had to save the remaining class points by any means necessary. If their points were depleted to zero, even if he succeeded in bringing down other classes, Class D still wouldn't be able to rise in rank.
It seemed he had to move today. If left for another two or three days, this class's points could really be wiped out.
As soon as school ended, Ryunosuke kept waiting for news from Masumi. Finally, a message came in.
"I've arranged the meeting. She said she wants to meet in a Karaoke room. I feel uneasy, so I'll come along."
"If you dare try anything with her, I don't want to be considered an accomplice." After that, Masumi immediately went offline.
Ryunosuke smiled thinly seeing that message. Whatever people wanted to think, what mattered was that his goal was achieved. He immediately slung his bag and headed to the location.
He arrived in front of the designated room door and knocked gently. The door opened, revealing a beautiful strange girl with bluish-purple hair who looked innocent.
The girl had a sweet but stiff face, as if she suffered from facial paralysis (difficulty expressing). Ryunosuke tried to remember; it seemed he had seen this character in the original story. Her name if he wasn't mistaken was Morishita Ai.
Being stared at for quite a while, the girl looked a bit uncomfortable and stepped back two steps. Ryunosuke just realized that staring at a strange girl too long was impolite, then he averted his gaze.
At that moment, Arisu's voice was heard from inside the room.
"Since you've arrived, please come in, Akasaka-kun."
"Besides... staring openly at my assistant is very impolite, you know."
(So she's her assistant?) Ryunosuke thought.
Because of his interference, Arisu couldn't make Masumi a "tool" through the theft secret, so she looked for someone else as her assistant.
Ryunosuke entered the room and sat facing Arisu.
Masumi stood on Arisu's left side with a wary attitude as if truly guarding her from a predator.
Arisu placed her cane slowly. She sat in an elegant "diagonal" style, her small legs wrapped in white stockings closed together politely. Her appearance as pure as a white lotus flower, very beautiful and innocent with short white hair and her characteristic beret hat.
Wow...
Ryunosuke once again admired the beauty standards at this school. Why was it called Advanced Nurturing High School? It should just be renamed Beautiful Girls High School.
Arisu didn't mind Ryunosuke's gaze. She wasn't the type of narrow-minded woman who forbade men from looking at her. Moreover, she could sense that the other party's gaze was purely appreciation, not perverted thoughts.
However, Masumi beside her felt annoyed. Since the first day of meeting, this young man always stared at her with such an evaluating look. Now he was doing it again to the petite Arisu.
*SLAM!*
Masumi slammed the table hard, forcing Ryunosuke to wake from his reverie.
After feeling satisfied, Masumi returned to stand straight beside Arisu. Meanwhile, Ai who had closed the door now stood on Arisu's right side, flanking the leader like two loyal guards.
Arisu laughed lightly and gave an apologetic look to Ryunosuke.
"Forgive them, Akasaka-kun. Because of my unstable legs, they both are uneasy if I meet alone with a healthy young man like you. If something unwanted happens, it will be troublesome. Please understand."
After saying so, she sipped her coffee slowly while showing a cunning smile like a fox.
