I Am a Kind-Hearted Person!

"Th... that's just..."

Ike couldn't find the words.

"Let me put it bluntly: even people like you managed to keep enough points by the end of the month to avoid eating the free wild vegetable set meal at the cafeteria."

"So, is it really possible that everyone else is worse off than you? Think about it carefully."

After all, tomorrow would be the start of May, and Makoto felt there was no harm in telling them this now.

His gaze met Ayanokoji's in mid-air, and then, as if by mutual agreement, they both looked away.

"Let's go, Honami."

"Mm."

With a blissful expression on her face, Honami let Makoto lead her away.

Karuizawa followed behind them.

"What did you mean by what you just said?"

"Exactly what it sounded like. I don't think Karuizawa is incapable of understanding that, right?"

Seeing the worried look on Karuizawa's face, Makoto wanted to show some sympathy, but remembering that Honami was right beside him, he forced himself to hold back and pretended to admire the scenery instead.

Ah, the wind is quite noisy today, isn't it?

"To be honest, I personally don't have any points left. I wasn't worried because I thought new points would be deposited tomorrow."

"But if that's really the case... I don't want to eat the wild vegetable set meal, okay?"

Makoto didn't answer, instead casting a glance toward Honami.

He didn't dare to make decisions on his own.

"Hmm... in that case, Karuizawa, why don't you come by Room 301 in the morning and evening? I'll make an extra bento for you!"

Makoto looked at Honami with slight surprise; she really had changed.

"Has Ichinose been making bentos for Miyano this whole time?"

"That's right! Makoto has been 'kept' by me!"

"..."

Makoto didn't refute it; to a certain extent, what Honami said was the truth.

"...Then, I'll be troubling you."

"It's no trouble at all! I'd be happy to have you, Karuizawa-san. It's nice to have more people taste my cooking."

As expected of Honami, she could easily say the things he couldn't. It was truly heart-stirring and impressive!

"Thank you, Honami."

It was great that she didn't make others feel awkward!

His resistance to beautiful girls was non-existent; in that regard, Makoto didn't seem any different from Ike or the others.

"It's what I should do."

The smile Honami bloomed with was so bright and moving that Makoto was captivated by everything it contained.

Soon, the month of April, filled with lies and deception, came to an end...

May arrived.

But for Makoto, even a day like December 31st would probably be no different from any other ordinary day.

At least, if Honami weren't by his side.

The first bell of May rang, and Hoshinomiya Chie walked into the classroom with a lighter, more cheerful step than usual.

"Good morning, everyone! Has everyone received their new point deposits?"

"Hoshinomiya-sensei, aren't the points deposited this month a bit low?"

A student raised their hand to speak immediately—it was Kanzaki Ryuji. Although he phrased it as a question, his tone was quite certain.

"There is absolutely no issue with the amount of points deposited. I will explain it to everyone right now."

Hoshinomiya-sensei seemed to be in a very good mood. Humming a nameless tune, she scribbled several lines of large characters on the blackboard.

[Class A: 980]

[Class B: 870]

[Class C: 490]

[Class D: 0]

"These are the class points for each first-year class this month. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask~"

"May I ask if the personal points received on the 1st of every month are equal to the class points multiplied by 100?"

"That's right."

Hoshinomiya-sensei nodded upon hearing this.

"By the way, every class was fairly allocated 1,000 class points at the beginning of last month, and you only had 130 points deducted last month. Congratulations, congratulations."
