Miki also woke from her daydream, and instantly her cheeks felt hot. She covered her reddening face and intended to flee, but the door was blocked by Ryunosuke, so she couldn't get out at all.
Seeing Miki who had already turned around while covering her face and didn't dare to look at Ryunosuke, Arisu couldn't help but roll her eyes prettily.
"Are you an incarnation of an incubus? Why are you so skilled at making girls' hearts happy?"
Ryunosuke pointed at himself in confusion.
"Huh? Look at my face, at best it's only slightly better than ordinary, it can't even be called handsome. How could any girl like..."
Right after saying that sentence, his words suddenly stopped. Because he remembered, indeed there were beautiful girls who liked him, even two of them... and maybe more than that.
Seeing his reaction, Arisu also understood that young man was thinking about his girlfriend. After all, Ai was also an undeniable beautiful girl. Maybe even Miki had feelings for him, only that girl herself hadn't realized it yet.
Considering Miki's brain which indeed wasn't very sharp. She was somewhat stupid and slow, especially when it came to feelings...
Arisu cleared her throat softly to break the awkward atmosphere. Ryunosuke was also responsive and immediately found a reason to leave.
"Then, I won't disturb your rest time. Yamamura-san, I'm leaving now. Don't forget to eat the candy I gave you earlier."
Miki protected the candy in her palm and nodded slightly, while her face still felt hot. However, because she was looking down, no one noticed.
Seeing that, Ryunosuke said his goodbyes.
After that person moved away, only then did Miki shyly raise her head, gazing at Ryunosuke's disappearing back.
Arisu, sitting on the bed, saw all of that and let out a short sigh. "Yamamura-san, the person has already gone far; until when do you want to look at him?"
Miki just realized and lowered her head again without a single word. Seeing this scene, Arisu teased her slightly.
"Are you interested in him?" What was meant was of course Ryunosuke.
Miki immediately shook her head in panic, denying that reality.
"Oh~" Arisu only responded briefly without asking further, then she added something. "The candy he gave you, may I ask for one?"
Miki gripped the candy in her hand tightly, feeling somewhat reluctant, but she still took one and handed it to Arisu.
Arisu took that candy and began tasting it. "Hmm, not bad, the taste is good, fruity."
Miki then offered the remaining candy. "Sakayanagi-san, want to eat more?"
Seeing this shy girl was actually reluctant but still gave it, Arisu kindly reminded her. "Something you like, don't give it to others."
"Okay..." Miki lowered her head again shyly.
Arisu was even made speechless, but she didn't say anything more.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
On the other side, Ryunosuke checked the 2.8 million personal points he had just obtained, added to the points he currently had. His point balance now had reached more than 50 million.
Previously he had 45 million, then got 2 million from Chie, 1 million from Sae, plus this 2.8 million; the total was approaching 51 million personal points. One step closer to paying off his debt...
Ryunosuke put his hands in his pockets and prepared to return to his room to rest.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Time passed quickly; two days had passed.
Only one day remained before the next exam began.
Ryunosuke's goal was very simple, namely to achieve the legendary "Result 1": all members getting 500,000 personal points.
However, to achieve that, he had to ensure not a single person became a traitor. Because of that, Ryunosuke planned to act one day earlier.
Taking advantage of the situation where no class had yet received the exam content, he wanted to use information asymmetry to cooperate with them and sign contracts.
That way, when the exam started later, they couldn't regret even if they wanted to. However, for them to obey, the contract contents had to truly threaten everyone—that is, anyone who dared betray the other party would cause the entire class to be immediately expelled from school. Only through this method could he restrict the entire class!
But that alone wasn't enough...
Ryunosuke first visited Hiyori's room and knocked on the door.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Inside the room, Hiyori and Fumino were sitting side by side on the bed, happily reading the novel given by Ryunosuke, Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso volume two.
Clearly, Fumino was also very captivated by the story. They were both roommates as well as close friends. Because they had many similarities; both were literature girls and also... "washboards" (flat).
There were so many shared feelings between them; it was hard not to become close friends. The two of them huddled together reading that book.
When they wanted to continue reading, the door was knocked.
Hiyori with a feeling of slight guilt immediately closed her book and slipped it under the pillow.
After all, this book was obtained from an "unofficial transaction" with Ryunosuke, so outsiders mustn't see it. Hiyori hurried to open the door; she opened it only slightly with the door chain still attached.
Because this was a dormitory for two girls, especially since they were both beautiful girls, it was very natural to be cautious when a stranger knocked on the door.
Hiyori asked cautiously, "Sorry, who is it?"
"It's me, Shiina-san~" Ryunosuke, who was standing outside the door, showed a genuine smile for the first time to a girl.
Seeing it was Ryunosuke, Hiyori happily opened the door wide. Her attitude was completely opposite to her caution earlier.
Fumino, who was standing behind her, couldn't help but comment, "Boss Shiina, where did your caution from earlier go?"
Hiyori felt awkward; her face reddened slightly. She bowed in embarrassment and invited Ryunosuke in, asking him to sit.
Fumino also went to brew tea for Ryunosuke. As a young lady, the tea ceremony was the most fundamental of basics...
Fumino brought the highest quality Gyokuro tea, then gently crouched and poured the tea softly. Her elegant manner and literary aura truly deserved the status of a young lady.
A strand of her hair accidentally fell. To prevent her hair from touching the tea water, she tucked it behind her ear with her white, slender fingers, revealing her fair clean neck.
Ryunosuke accidentally swallowed.
Hiyori, on the other side, couldn't stand it and kicked his leg under the table; clearly she was jealous. Ryunosuke then noticed and immediately averted his gaze, then coughed softly to cover his awkwardness.
Fumino also felt a bit embarrassed. She noticed that young man had been looking at her neck earlier, but she didn't feel hatred. After all, this young man had once given her delicious food.
She was a little foodie, and coincidentally Ryunosuke had once given her her favorite potato chips, so she couldn't hate this person...
Fumino secretly glanced at him then immediately averted her gaze. Ryunosuke noticed her gaze and took out candy from his pocket.
"Want one?"
"Eh?" Fumino was slightly startled, because that young man again took out her favorite fruit candy.
Was it really a coincidence that every time this man took something out it always perfectly matched her preferences? But she still asked shyly.
"May I?" Although she asked, her hand was already reaching for the candy...
Seeing Fumino grab the candy first before asking, the corner of Ryunosuke's lips twitched slightly, but he still nodded.
"Sure!"
Seeing that young man give permission, Fumino's eyes sparkled. She was no longer shy, immediately put the candy in her mouth and showed a face full of happiness.
Ryunosuke looked at her who was happy with a smile full of affection, as if looking at a small child. However, in Hiyori's eyes, it looked as if the two of them were flirting with each other...
Hiyori truly couldn't stand it anymore; she kicked Ryunosuke again and said fiercely.
"Don't try to dig (steal) my friend, you bastard!"
