Chapter 256

"Um... Hayabusa, my class is running a maid and butler café... and all the girls have to wear them..."

"Whoa..."

Ishikawa Hayato responded strangely and slowed his pace.

Beside him, his two girlfriends looked at him warily. Having just clearly felt his possessiveness, the two were somewhat uneasy.

Of course, this stemmed from concerns that Ishikawa Hayato might do something to Hitori's classmates.

Sensing that Ishikawa Hayato was in a slightly bad mood, Ikuyo quickly said.

"Hayato-kun, if you have any objections, I can help discuss it!"

But Ishikawa Hayato quickly regained his composure, sighed, and asked Hitori.

"Would you like to participate in that Hitori?"

Whether due to Ishikawa Hayato's attitude or his own considerations, Hitori had no interest in this event.

She might be somewhat interested in dressing up as a ghost in a haunted house.

She shook her head.

"Is that so?" Ishikawa Hayato smiled and reached out to pat her head.

"If you don't want to, you can talk to your classmates about it. If you want me to help you speak up, you can also ask me."

"Um."

When Hitori responded, her gaze towards Ishikawa Hayato carried a hint of worry.

Upon arriving at Fanxing, the three met up with Nijika and Liang, and the five of them chatted and laughed as they entered the rehearsal room.

They were naturally talking about the latest news from the school festival.

Listening to Ishikawa Hayato and Ikuyo talk Hitori the various preparations they were making for the school festival.

Nijika sat behind the drum set and sighed enviously.

"That's great. Ryo and I go to very strict schools, and the school festival is full of research clubs."

"It's been so tiring. By the way, how about Ijichi-senpai and Ryo-senpai come to our school for the school festival?"

Ikuyo immediately extended an invitation to the two of them, as she believed the more people there were, the more fun it would be.

"Really? I've been interested in your school for a while now."

Nijika also responded expectantly, glancing at Ishikawa Hayato as if she hoped he would extend the invitation.

"Hmph, bring it on! I'll show you what it means to sweep through all the entertainment at the school festival."

Ishikawa Hayato said arrogantly to Nijika and Ryo.

Liang had no doubt about his bold words, and she thought about it seriously before speaking.

"If you win the grand prize, you can convert the reward into cash... as long as you play enough..."

"Hey, hey, hey! Hayato-kun never said he was going to give it to you!"

Unlike Ryo, who is obsessed with money and has no interest in small rewards, there are still people who expect Ishikawa Hayato to give her gifts.

Meanwhile, seeing Nijika complaining about Liang, and because of Liang's words just now, Ikuyo's feelings for Liang had probably become as fine as a grain of sand.

As Ishikawa Hayato watched the girls chattering with a light laugh, Ichiri, who had been quiet for a long time, Hitori spoke up.

"That!"

She seemed to have spent a lot of time gritting her teeth and preparing herself mentally, and her voice was particularly loud when she spoke.

All four of them immediately focused their attention on her.

"Bocchi-chan, what's wrong?"

Nijika encouraged her to ask questions out of curiosity.

But Hitori didn't hesitate for long and quickly said firmly.

"Would you all like to attend the school festival performance on the second day?!"

At night, the four of them came out of the rehearsal room at home.

The only one not there was Nijika; she wasn't mentally prepared to come to the Ishikawa house that evening.

As for the invitation to perform in Hitori evening, everyone naturally agreed, whether it was for the school festival or because Hitori had mustered up the courage to ask.

They all felt the performance was very meaningful.

After discussing it, they unanimously decided that Hitori would submit the performance application tomorrow.

Of course, this was not a punishment, but rather a glorious action that represented her growth.

Ishikawa Hayato could sense that her sudden decision was related to her previously hidden thoughts, but seeing how hard she was trying, he didn't delve into her ideas.

Although Hitori is sometimes outrageous and has some whimsical ideas, he is actually a fairly upright and earnest person.

Although he was possessive, he did not want to completely control their personal will or be fully aware of their actions.

As the question goes, if you've schemed and plotted meticulously, but haven't invested genuine feelings, is it true love?

"It's almost bedtime."

Liang walked out of the rehearsal room and, unusually, took the initiative to speak to the group.

Ishikawa Hayato glanced at her seemingly calm demeanor and knew that this slut was already burning with desire.

"Um..."

Their eyes met, and they hit it off immediately. Ishikawa Hayato said to Ikuyo, a little embarrassed.

"Ikuyo..."

"What's wrong with Hayato-kun?" Ikuyo asked curiously, unaware of the situation.

Seeing that Ishikawa Hayato had started, Ryo didn't hesitate and spoke up.

"I have something I want to say to Hayabusa tonight. Ikuyo, why don't you sleep in my room tonight?"

"Eh..." Ikuyo paused for a moment, then turned to Ishikawa Hayato to confirm.

That's it.

Ishikawa Hayato smiled and nodded, saying that since the girls were already being so proactive, he had to be even more proactive so as not to make them feel uncomfortable.

Ikuyo looked at the Hitori and, seeing that she had no objections, breathed a sigh of relief.

"I understand, but please don't go through my things, Hayato-kun."

"I definitely won't rummage through things when Ikuyo isn't around."

Ishikawa Hayato assured him with a smile.

Now, he and Liang also know that in this family, it's not so easy to hide some of the things they do, so they've semi-publicly revealed their little secret.

As night deepened, Ikuyo tossed and turned on the cool bed, unable to fall asleep.

Unfamiliar sheets, unfamiliar bed, unfamiliar room and curtains; tonight, she is missing someone she likes to keep her company, even less than yesterday.

If it were at the beginning of last semester, lying on the cool bed, she probably would have been too excited to sleep.

But now, all she could think about was what those two might be doing in the place where she had slept last night.

Because her mind was preoccupied with strange thoughts, she didn't even notice the odd decorations in the cool room.

"Abnormal..."

Ikuyo suddenly felt frustrated with her own restraint. If she hadn't been so concerned about anything last night, she might have just done it directly.

Lost in these thoughts, she got out of bed, needing to urinate because she couldn't sleep, and prepared to go to the bathroom.

Ikuyo didn't realize what the two were still doing, after all, more than an hour had passed since they parted ways.

She deliberately waited until this moment before going to the restroom.

Open the door, walk out of the room and down the corridor.

The rehearsal room, Hitori's room, and Ishikawa Hayato's room.

We walked past each room one by one.

The sounds gradually became more noticeable in the quiet house.

"Ah... I can't take it anymore, I really can't..."

Ikuyo stopped in front of Ishikawa Hayato's door.

"Liang should have enough stamina for two more times, right?"

She waited so long to come out precisely to prevent this situation, but it still happened anyway.

How long did they work on that?!

Thinking it over, Ikuyo couldn't control herself from moving in that direction, influenced by Ishikawa Hayato's forceful words.

She knew this behavior was inappropriate, but she couldn't resist her curiosity.

Her heart pounded as she pressed her ear to the doorway to listen to what was happening inside. The sounds from inside the room continued, and the conversation between the two made her blush; the interspersed sounds were even more powerful and frightening.

The most terrifying thing was that as time ticked by, she listened for a long time, until her legs felt weak from squatting, but the sounds inside continued.

After waiting for quite a while, feeling like she was about to urinate, Ikuyo, her heart pounding, finally prepared to get up.

Feeling guilty, she subconsciously looked around, but what she saw almost made her lose control and leak urine.

"Gotou...!"

"Shh!"

He squatted down in Hitori of his room, eagerly holding his hand up to his mouth.

"Hmm..."

Ikuyo squeezed her legs together and covered her mouth.

After using the restroom, she went to Hitori room.

The two women, who were in the same boat, met here.

Hitori saw Ikuyo come in, he hesitated for a moment, then quietly brought her the bedding.

"Kita- chan... please rest here."

Ikuyo was a little surprised by Hitori's calm demeanor; she began to wonder how many times Hitori had experienced this situation before.

"Thanks..."

She felt she wouldn't be able to sleep if she went back like that; she thought that if she could chat with someone or complain a bit, she might be able to sleep better.

She also stepped forward to help prepare her bedding for the night.

After making all the preparations and lying down quietly on the bed, Ikuyo listened carefully and could still faintly hear the two people's unrestrained voices.

Ikuyo turned to Hitori, seeking his approval.

"Those two were really going too far."

But when she saw Hitori gently shake his head, Hitori's voice lingered in the dimly lit room.

"Hayabusa isn't being unreasonable at all; he's been making a lot of concessions for us lately."

Ikuyo was dumbfounded; she hadn't expected that Hitori's poisoning had progressed to this extent.

If this isn't excessive, then nothing is excessive.

Hitori noticed that her "sister" made no attempt to hide her feelings.

"The falcon nowadays is busy maintaining this family, keeping everyone's relationships and moods in check. It's not as relaxed and free as it used to be..."

The falcons of the past were more carefree and unburdened...

The sound from Hitori masked the slight noise.
