The sound of water flowing one after another came from the bathroom, mixed with the sound of retching, which was particularly clear in the room.
"Ahem... Bah!"
After about five minutes, the sound of running water finally stopped.
Karuizawa Kei opened the bathroom door and walked out. The ends of her hair were stained with a few drops of water, and the corners of her mouth were a little red. Her face was filled with undisguised embarrassment at the moment.
She held a towel in her hand and wiped the corners of her mouth vigorously.
While glaring fiercely at Kazehara Tetsu, who was sitting by the bed with a calm expression.
"... It's so disgusting."
She threw the towel on the chair aside, crossed her arms, and said with disgust on her face, "You guys are absolutely a complete scum! There must be a limit to bad taste, right? You actually make people..."
Even now, when she can only rely on the other party, the bravado engraved in her bones has not completely faded away.
Kazehara Tetsu was leaning on the bedside, playing with his mobile phone in his hand. Hearing the words, he just raised his head slightly, with a smile on his lips.
"Bad taste?"
He repeated these three words, as if he had heard some funny joke, "Hui, you can't say that. Did I force you just now?"
"If I remember correctly, you did it yourself?"
"You!"
Karuizawa Kei was choked by his words and his face turned red.
Indeed, although it was in an atmosphere of half push and half give, in the end it was her choice to cooperate in order to end it as quickly as possible.
Her eyes dodge guiltily, avoiding Kazehara Tetsu's gaze that seemed to see through everything, and her voice became a little weaker unconsciously.
"That, that's not because..."
She gritted her teeth and forced herself to find an excuse, "You said... you would give me Points. I couldn't accept it because of Points! Otherwise, who would... do that kind of thing!"
"Really?"
Kazehara Tetsu was not angry, but his smile became deeper.
"But Hui, you actually know it very well, right?"
"If it's just for that little bit Points, even if you don't do it this far, as long as you act coquettishly or ask me a few more words... I will give it to you, right?"
Karuizawa Kei's body stiffened.
"After all, for me now, you are the 'Parasite' that I must raise. Starving the host's Parasite to death will not do me any good."
"So... you know that you can get something just by asking, but you still exchange it like this... Could it be that you subconsciously want to do this? Do you want to confirm that you belong to me in this way?"
"N-Nonsense!"
Karuizawa Kei was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and its fur suddenly exploded.
"Stop being so sentimental! I just... I just don't want to owe you too many favors. Since it's a transaction, it's better to clear things up in the most direct way! Yes, that's it!"
She retorted loudly, trying to increase the credibility of her words, but her red ears had already betrayed her inner panic.
She didn't want to admit it.
I absolutely cannot admit that I subconsciously want to flatter myself in this way because I am afraid of being abandoned again.
Looking at her sullen expression, a hint of understanding flashed in Kazehara Tetsu's eyes.
"Really? That's because I'm overthinking it."
He shrugged and leaned back on the bed, "But Hui, I need to ask."
"Although I know that Class D's situation is not optimistic, do you really need to want Points so eagerly? You don't even have to go to this extent."
In This School, as long as you don't spend money arbitrarily, your basic monthly living expenses can still be guaranteed.
Even if Class D does not make money from Points, the school will provide free food and water.
"Huh?"
Karuizawa Kei Hearing this, he suddenly became very angry.
She rolled her eyes angrily, and the emotion she felt just now was instantly replaced by resentment against reality.
"Of course you, a rich man sitting in the clouds, don't have to worry about such tacky issues!"
She sat down on the chair next to her and scratched her long golden hair with some annoyance, "Do you know what the situation of our Class D is now!"
"Since the first month of school, neither the idiot class teacher nor the school clearly stated the Points rule, leading everyone to think that there would be one hundred thousand every month, and everyone was squandering it like crazy..."
Thinking of that short and illusory "rich life", Karuizawa Kei's face showed a painful expression.
"What's the result? Since then, I've never gotten even a little bit of Personal Points! For several months, it's all zero!"
The more she spoke, the more she felt aggrieved, and her voice rose a few degrees.
"Not to mention these two special exams. I managed to get some class points in the midterm exam, but ended up being expelled because of that idiot Sudou, and now we are paupers again!"
"Do you know how difficult it is for a girl to have no money to buy clothes, no money to buy skin care products, and even have to plan carefully to go to a cafe for a drink?"
She complained angrily, as if she wanted to pour out all the grievances she had suffered over the past few months.
For Karuizawa Kei, who attaches great importance to appearance and needs to rely on a glamorous appearance to maintain his status as the "central figure of the girls' group", poverty is simply more terrifying than imagined.
She crossed her arms and muttered, "If I don't find a way to get some Points, how can I continue to be the 'central figure'..."
Kazehara Tetsu listened to her complaints quietly, tapping the screen of her phone rhythmically with her fingers.
This is indeed in line with the logic of Karuizawa Kei.
For her, Points is not just currency, but also a shell to maintain her false status and self-esteem.
"That's it."
Kazehara Tetsu nodded and did a few operations on his phone.
"In that case, let me give you some 'pocket money'."
The words just fell.
Karuizawa Kei The phone placed on the table suddenly vibrated.
She was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously picked up her phone and took a look.
The next second, her eyes widened suddenly and she took a breath.
A transfer notification is displayed on the screen.
[Personal Points:500,000 points]
"Five... five hundred thousand?"
Karuizawa Kei's voice changed the tone. She raised her head and looked at Kazehara Tetsu in disbelief, then looked down at her phone, as if to confirm whether she was dazzled or there was a system error.
Five hundred thousand Points, which is an unimaginable huge amount of money for current Class D students!
"This... is this for me?" she asked stammering.
"Otherwise? Is it for ghosts?"
Kazehara Tetsu said nonchalantly, "This can be regarded as a reward for your good performance just now, and... a 'maintenance fee' for the future."
Hearing the words "maintenance fee", Karuizawa Kei's face turned slightly red.
In the face of huge material temptations, that little sense of shame seems to become insignificant.
Kazehara Tetsu looked at her, "After all, as someone who wants to continue to play the role of 'Queen' in Class D, if she is too shabby, her secret will be exposed."
"Of course!"
Karuizawa Kei took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but the curve of the corner of his mouth could not be suppressed no matter what.
"Humph, I guess you know the truth."
She Tsundere snorted, trying to regain some initiative, "Now that I have taken the money, what I just did... I won't care about you anymore."
"That's natural."
Kazehara Tetsu stood up and walked to her.
Karuizawa Kei subconsciously wanted to retreat, but thinking of the huge sum of money she had just received, which was a sweetener given by the other party, she stopped abruptly and just looked at him nervously.
"Since you got the benefit, Hui."
"Be a little more honest..."
