Hiratsuka Shizuka, however, was persistent and continued speaking on her own, "Recently, we're going to have a mixer event with Seaside Comprehensive High School. You know our Student Council president is just a first-year student and can't handle this kind of thing at all, so they asked the Service Club for help."
Seaside Comprehensive High School?
When he entered the Inner World before, Tsukikawa Shu had killed four students from Seaside Comprehensive High School, one of whom was a member of the Student Council.
It's unlikely those four were the only ones from this school who entered the Inner World.
Tsukikawa Shu didn't have a good impression of this Student Council; they were basically a bunch of stubborn, brainless individuals who liked to shift blame and didn't do any real work.
It was quite interesting to see if these people would abandon their humanity in the Inner World like that Koda Ken.
"In short, you've probably heard about Yukino Yukinoshita's personality. If she's the one representing them at the mixer, you can imagine the situation," Hiratsuka Shizuka said helplessly.
"So, I can only ask you, the most handsome guy in the whole school, to save the day."
"Even though your last sentence was the honest truth, you expect me to do it just because you asked?" Tsukikawa Shu snapped his notebook shut.
"In short, you have to go."
Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't give Tsukikawa Shu a chance to refuse and left directly, leaving behind a beautiful figure and the faint fragrance of her hair.
Should he accept Hiratsuka Shizuka's mission? Tsukikawa Shu hesitated.
Although he didn't dislike Yukino Yukinoshita, he didn't have much interaction with her either and was too lazy to help her.
[Direct Quest Triggered: Help Yukino Yukinoshita out of a difficult situation]
[System Reward: Rare Class Card *1, Custom Blue Weapon *1]
Looking at the system prompt that suddenly appeared before him, Tsukikawa Shu was a little speechless.
Although the text was cold, it was... quite considerate!
Tsukikawa Shu didn't think someone like Yukino Yukinoshita could be easily won over. Even if she was, she probably wouldn't accept the setting where she had to have a bunch of wings on her back.
But – the system reward was right in front of him, so why not give it a try?
Goto Hitori spent the rest of the day in a daze until class ended, completely absent-minded.
No matter the subject, it was like listening to a foreign language for Goto Hitori.
Social Anxiety might not be smart, but she wasn't good at studying either.
Especially after falling in love, she was completely lost in fantasies about dates and marriage, giggling foolishly.
It couldn't be helped; that's how unloved children are.
Otaku culture is all about giving for free.
Tsukikawa Shu could afford to date because he was excellent at studying and had no worries about getting into a good university. But for Goto Hitori, any future dating time would likely be spent with Tsukikawa Shu forcing her to catch up on her studies.
But that's a matter for future Mrs. Pochi, what does it have to do with the current Goto Hitori?
Just enjoy the date!
Tsukikawa Shu, naturally unaware of his wife's daydreaming, was currently scouting for his next wife candidate.
"System, what do you think of Hiratsuka Shizuka?" Tsukikawa Shu asked.
[System scoring...]
[After comprehensive evaluation, Hiratsuka Shizuka's score is: A]
"What about Yukino Yukinoshita?"
[System scoring...]
[After comprehensive evaluation, Yukino Yukinoshita's score is: S]
"What about Yui Hama?"
[System scoring...]
[After comprehensive evaluation, Yui Hama's score is: S]
"What are the scoring criteria?"
[Anime character popularity]
"...You call this a comprehensive evaluation?"
[This system is very fair and strictly scores based on the comprehensive evaluation and popularity of readers and viewers. There is absolutely no vote manipulation or spamming of scores.]
This system was really quite straightforward.
"Fine..."
Tsukikawa Shu shrugged.
He originally wanted to find a side character with a high score to pursue, as they were much easier to fool than the main heroines, but he didn't expect the system to be so strict.
Besides Bocchi, the otaku, Tsukikawa Shu couldn't think of any character who had a high score and was easy to conquer.
During the break, Tsukikawa Shu walked towards the clubroom named "Service Club."
Because I promised Hiratsuka Shizuka that I would participate in the joint event between the two schools, if my guess is correct, it should be Yukino Yukinoshita and I who were chosen to keep the peace.
And just as Hiratsuka Shizuka said, Yukino Yukinoshita's mouth is like a Dragon Spring sword. With that icy, venomous tone, as soon as she speaks, she can definitely destroy bond after bond.
What kind of lame joint event? I'll slaughter them all, take down two useless Student Council members by myself, and a bunch of trash better stay out of my way!
They say a sharp sword comes from grinding, and I don't know where Yukino Yukinoshita's venomous tongue was honed, but it truly draws blood the moment it's unsheathed. When she opens her mouth, she'll take down one, and if two come, they'll make a pair.
She's beautiful, but she has no friends. Many admire her, but no one dares to approach.
If Yukino Yukinoshita could truly take charge and command the event, Tsukikawa Shu wouldn't worry about it. Although there would definitely be a lot of people unhappy with Yukino Yukinoshita as a leader, this sharp-tongued girl would absolutely complete the mission.
Of course, the premise is still to control absolute leadership.
And for this joint event, Yukino Yukinoshita doesn't have that authority; she's only participating as a part of it.
This is a huge problem.
This woman definitely won't be happy being bossed around by those imbeciles.
Tsukikawa Shu rubbed his temples.
Should I consider how to restrain this woman later and have her draw her exclusive Dragon Spring sword for a rampage?
Thinking this, Tsukikawa Shu arrived at the door of a certain classroom.
The doorplate was covered with colorful, cute little cards, clearly the masterpiece of some dango-loving girl.
Tsukikawa Shu lazily pushed the door open. Someone was already waiting inside.
"Ah, you're here, you're here!"
The pink-haired girl exclaimed.
Judging by her voice alone, Tsukikawa Shu knew it was Yui Hama, a cute, sunny, and cheerful young lady.
Besides her, there was also Hiratsuka Shizuka, the Japanese language teacher he had just met, and a black-haired girl sitting at the end of the long table. She was currently crossing her long legs, quietly reading a book placed on her black-stockinged thighs. The soft sunlight filtered through the treetops, casting a poetic and beautiful glow on her.
"You're late. Didn't I tell you to come right after class?" Hiratsuka Shizuka said with some dissatisfaction.
"Sorry, sorry. Third-year students wasted some time on review," Tsukikawa Shu said with a light smile, then closed the door.
"Haha, I didn't review at all. I was almost falling asleep in class, but I perked up as soon as it ended. I don't know why..."
Yui Hama sheepishly scratched her hair, which was tied into a dango on the side.
During this, she secretly glanced at Tsukikawa Shu.
So handsome...
A young girl in the throes of adolescence felt a flutter of romance upon seeing a handsome guy.
However, at this moment, the icy beauty sitting at the end of the long table spoke:
"If you really wanted to review, you wouldn't have come empty-handed."
Then, the girl turned her head to look at Hiratsuka Shizuka, the supervising teacher: "I don't like people who don't follow the rules. They'll only hold me back."
"Yukino-chan, don't be like that. At least... give him a chance. Look, he's at least easy on the eyes, right?"
"Easy on the eyes?"
Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Tsukikawa Shu, then let out a scoff. She switched her crossed legs, placed one hand on her chest, and said with a smile:
"I am the cutest and easiest on the eyes."
"Look at me, you don't need any inferior substitutes."
Truly, her face didn't even flush. It was all so natural.
Retracting my previous statement, Yukino Yukinoshita at this moment was truly a work of art, provided she didn't open her mouth.
If she opened her mouth, you'd get a silky smooth, beautiful, youthful piece of shit.
Tsukikawa Shu thought that this shamelessness was probably comparable to his own desire to have a harem in the 21st century.
"But you're flat."
Tsukikawa Shu casually pulled out a chair and sat down, glancing at Yukino Yukinoshita's hand resting on her chest.
"..."
As soon as Tsukikawa Shu spoke, the other three in the room didn't know how to respond.
"Tsukikawa-kun, since your focus is on your private parts, does that mean you're confident about your own in that regard?" Yukino Yukinoshita smoothed her hair and closed her book.
"That's right, I am very confident that I can conquer and satisfy any woman."
"I am the most outstanding man in the world!"
When it came to shamelessness, Tsukikawa Shu never feared anyone.
After all, you couldn't just drop your pants and verify it, could you?
"Tsukikawa-kun."
Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes widened slightly. "I never understood what people meant when they called me narcissistic, until you appeared."
She pinched her throat and imitated Tsukikawa Shu's voice: "I am the cutest woman in the world!"
And then he nodded again.
"Yeah, it's a bit disgusting."
"Only those who lack the strength would feel fear and a sense of undeserved position," Tsukikawa Shu casually pulled up a chair and sat down.
Yukino Yukinoshita had studied drama, and her foundation was good, so imitating was indeed easy for her. However, she skillfully applied this same ability to her sharp tongue, and was even better at being sarcastic.
Truly an essential interpersonal skill for home and travel.
"Alright."
Hiratsuka Shizuka covered her forehead helplessly. She had long expected something like this to happen when these two met.
Especially Yukino Yukinoshita, who had a strong leadership ability and easily clashed with others.
This time, someone needed to be able to restrain Yukino Yukinoshita to appear at the matchmaking event together. Tsukikawa Shu, who had always been unrestrained and loved freedom, and possessed good intellect and ability, became the top choice.
Moreover, this guy's skin might be thicker than Yukino Yukinoshita's.
The reason Yukino Yukinoshita harbored such great hostility towards the recently met Tsukikawa Shu was precisely because of Hiratsuka Shizuka's decision. She didn't want anyone to restrain her, nor did she want to be suppressed by someone else.
