After Honami finished speaking, she waited anxiously for her colleagues' answer.
However, they didn't disappoint her. As usual, they treated Honami warmly, signaling that everything was fine because they were all here.
Shiranami Chihiro even emotionally hugged Honami's full-figured body to give comfort, while taking the opportunity to sneak some advantage. This time Honami didn't mind; she even stroked Chihiro's head.
Seeing that she wasn't rejected, Chihiro became even happier and bolder in acting spoiled. The others were used to seeing this scene; they just smiled and joined in comforting Honami.
However, in their hearts, they were all determined to settle accounts with Nagumo!
The eyes of all Class A members (originally B) now emitted sharp flashes. Including Chihiro who was hugging Honami, her eyes also emitted bright red anger.
Daring to touch their Honami meant being ready to pay the price!
Meanwhile, Ryunosuke who was hiding behind the door while eavesdropping felt relieved seeing Honami was already okay. He prepared to leave quietly.
However, this moment was seen by Himeno. She immediately chased and followed Ryunosuke until they reached the balcony that was already familiar to them. This was their second time here. The first time here, Himeno had been made to cry.
Himeno approached the guardrail and leaned both her hands there. While sucking on a lollipop, she said to Ryunosuke full of gratitude.
"This time, really thank you. If it weren't for you... Ichinose might have been destroyed..."
Ryunosuke leaned on the railing beside her. "No problem, it was something that should be done."
"Besides, this problem is somewhat related to me..."
"Ichinose was affected by my candidacy as Student Council President. If I didn't intervene to protect her, wouldn't I become a very bad man?"
"Eh~ I didn't expect you're actually a pretty good person. I apologize for calling you a bastard before," Himeno said while offering a still-wrapped lollipop.
Ryunosuke didn't hesitate to accept it. "Thank you..."
He then opened it and put it in his mouth.
"Tastes pretty good, melon flavor."
Himeno looked up proudly. "Of course, that's my favorite flavor."
She squinted her eyes slightly, watching his reaction. Seeing the man show no special reaction, she felt both relieved and slightly disappointed.
Note: In Japan, the sweet taste of melon is sometimes used implicitly to convey feelings of affection or a desire to shorten relationship distance.
This was Himeno's little cleverness. No one would understand its meaning, but she herself understood very well, and her face was now slightly red. To prevent Ryunosuke from noticing, she lowered her head deeply to hide her flushed face.
After his candy was finished, Ryunosuke said goodbye to leave. Himeno just bowed her head while waving, not daring to look at him.
Ryunosuke left without looking back. Not long after, Hachiman came out of class and walked to the balcony with his hands in his pockets. He had been aware since earlier that Himeno was chasing Ryunosuke.
To be precise, everyone in class knew; they just pretended not to see. Seeing Himeno's unusual reaction earlier, anyone who wasn't a dull fool would definitely notice...
Hachiman said in a resigned tone to Himeno.
"That kind of implicit signal won't be understood by Akasaka. It seems you two have no hope~"
Hachiman reflexively threw out a sharp jab. He was indeed used to occasionally mocking people. Himeno immediately kicked Hachiman's leg, then left without looking back while swinging her twin ponytails.
The force of that kick was so great it made Hachiman kneel on one leg while grimacing in pain. A full-force attack from an athletic-type girl wasn't something that could be easily withstood by a future househusband.
Hachiman held his aching knee while cursing.
"Damn rough woman! Just be careful you'll only end up as a mistress later!"
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Himeno returned to class. Seeing her return, Honami immediately asked.
"Where is Akasaka-kun?"
Honami of course saw the two of them leave together, so she asked directly. Himeno answered honestly, "He already went back."
"Oh..." Honami looked a bit listless because of Ryunosuke's departure. Himeno bit her candy to pieces in her mouth.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Meanwhile, at a school hospital.
Acting Director Tsukishiro had now regained consciousness. His entire body was wrapped in casts, but he still tried to get up with difficulty. Using a cane, he wanted to immediately leave that place.
He had already heard the news about the Student Council President election. Moreover, the familiar electric shock sensation on his neck when attacked that night was exactly the same as the sensation when Ryunosuke hung him at the school gate and made him faint.
How could Tsukishiro not know who the perpetrator was? He gritted his teeth full of vengeance. He had already been trapped twice by that brat.
However, he didn't realize that a nurse behind him saw him leave and secretly took out her phone to send a message. The nurse sighed in relief after sending the message.
"Just watching this patient and sending a message when he leaves gets me 100,000 points. This money is really easy to get."
Right. Ryunosuke had prepared a backup plan. He paid a nurse to monitor so Tsukishiro wouldn't wake up early and mess up his plan. It turned out his anticipation was exactly right.
Some time later, Tsukishiro who had walked quite far kept cursing Ryunosuke.
"Cunning bastard, just wait for my revenge!"
"Once I'm back, I'll destroy your Student Council President election! I'll get you expelled from school!!!"
The hatred in Tsukishiro's eyes had reached its peak.
When had he ever been humiliated like this?
Right at that moment, he felt pain in the back of his neck. It was the electric shock sensation he knew very well. Tsukishiro immediately realized what was happening, but unfortunately he immediately lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
The perpetrator was Megumi who was sent by Ryunosuke to stand guard here.
Megumi's gaze remained calm, as if dropping someone just now wasn't a strange thing. She immediately sent a message to Ryunosuke.
Not long after, Ryunosuke came with Ayanokouji...
Seeing Tsukishiro lying on the ground, Ryunosuke complained dissatisfied to Ayanokouji.
"What kind of work did you do?"
"Didn't I tell you to make him lie down for three months?"
"Why did he wake up this fast?"
Ayanokouji put on a slightly confused face. He measured strength based on normal human physique. He didn't expect that Tsukishiro, though already middle-aged, had a physique twice as strong as ordinary adults. This was beyond his prediction. In short, he misjudged the force; his punch was too light.
Ryunosuke could only resign himself and gave instructions again.
"This time control your strength properly. Don't repeat this stupid mistake again."
Ayanokouji nodded calmly in understanding, especially now that he had experience. He then took out a wooden baseball bat, preparing to deliver a "dark" attack.
Ryunosuke raised his hand and stopped him. Ayanokouji thought the other party felt he was being too excessive; he was already preparing to lower his bat and replace it with his fists.
However, Ryunosuke's next action made the expressionless Ayanokouji fall silent.
Ryunosuke took Ayanokouji's wooden baseball bat and replaced it with a spiked iron mace. The spikes on the mace gleamed with a bone-piercing cold light.
Ryunosuke's words were heard.
"As long as he doesn't die, beat him to your satisfaction!"
"Oh~" Ayanokouji only responded briefly, but in his heart he thought: (If I use this, the person could die, right?)
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Meanwhile, on the other side, Nagumo had already found out about Honami's problem. Because... members of Class 1-A (led by Ryunosuke) had come to attack him...
