I Won't Allow It

Although they could have forcefully demanded that Mashima Tomoya withdraw his announcement of the outcome and choose to surrender again.

But.

Never mind.

In any case, Sakayanagi Arisu was completely distracted.

He could see it clearly; aside from a little trickery during the initial selection process, they basically played haphazardly in the later Special Exam. If it weren't for his ability to help Class D surrender, they might have actually been overturned several times.

Not to mention the Chess just played.

She wasn't paying attention at all.

Asakusa Toru felt it wasn't hard for him to guess the reason why this situation occurred.

Because something even more captivating than Chess had happened.

'Medicine'.

'Sick'.

Or rather, 'body'.

He wasn't Sakayanagi Arisu, so he couldn't constantly sense the changes happening inside Sakayanagi Arisu's own body.

But her complexion gradually became rosy, and her movements changed from her usual elegant demeanor to those of a hyperactive child.

He touched his chest with his left hand and his ankle with his right, his eyes sweeping away the previous lifelessness and the sense of indifference that had been there.

She was better than ever before, even better than before the Uninhabited Island Special Exam began.

It's not hard to guess that the medication has taken effect.

The 'miracle drug' seems to have solved more than just her heart condition; it also seems to have provided some physical enhancements while repairing her heart?

Maybe yes, maybe no.

But one thing is certain: when the heart is no longer just a burden on the body, Sakayanagi Arisu's entire mental state will be completely renewed.

As the one who personally delivered this medicine to Sakayanagi Arisu as a belated birthday gift, Asakusa Toru about Sakayanagi Arisu's change...

Actually, I'm quite happy.

He wasn't really after Sakayanagi Arisu's humiliation.

Oh, yes, that's right. Beating Sakayanagi Arisu knees and humiliating the Little Princess so severely, seeing the Little Princess's extremely ashamed and resentful expression is indeed very satisfying.

But the premise is that the Little Princess is still the Little Princess, and Alice is still Alice.

Only Sakayanagi Arisu acts arrogantly and superior to others does her 'love' seem interesting.

Raising her hands means surrendering, and pulling off her pantyhose like a shovel means you can touch her however you want. "Mmm, yes, yes, I've already given up, what more do you want? "Sakayanagi Arisu... it still feels a little off.

He had already experienced the submissive daughter.

While it's probably difficult to return to the original Sakayanagi Arisu, the current cheerful Little Alice is quite nice too.

This is especially true after the shortcomings were corrected.

Throughout the entire story Asakusa Toru's expectation for the girls is to 'become better'.

Sexual orientations that need correction will be corrected, ignorance that needs correction will be corrected, emotional release that needs to be given will be given, and love that needs to be filled will be filled.

The same applies to Sakayanagi Arisu.

Therefore, this ending is good.

"..." After a moment of stunned silence, Sakayanagi Arisu smiled again, "I'm just being wasteful. If you're unhappy, you can hit me."

The girl had intended to follow Asakusa Toru directly out of the multi-functional classroom, but before leaving, she seemed to remember something and turned back to her original spot.

She found the walking stick that had been lying to the side again.

She didn't take it with her, nor did she intend to keep it as a souvenir. Sakayanagi Arisu imitated the movements she remembered, rubbing her fists and palms together... and raised her right leg.

Although the lift was not high and the movements were clumsy, the intent was fully expressed.

"--ha!"

He kicked the little cane away!

From this day forward, I will stand on the earth!

Asakusa Toru: "..."

Baby, have you been suppressing your feelings for too long?

Posture, movements, and expression.

If any of the above points were to change, Asakusa Toru wouldn't be surprised.

But the fact that she so decisively kicked away her cane was something Asakusa Toru had never expected.

Just looking at this event itself, Asakusa Toru felt a sense of satisfaction that things were alright as they were today.

To be honest, although I talked to Ichinose before, the real reason was...

He thought that perhaps he had taken slight leniency towards Sakayanagi Arisu, which was why he chose to end with an area she should have been most skilled in and most attentive to.

... Will they really take care of me?

Never mind all that, he just feels this is what it means to take care of someone right now.

Sakayanagi Arisu interest in Chess, and he has no reason to continue being obsessed with Chess.

To give up Alice because of Chess —isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

All in all--

"--I like you."

She pressed herself close, her body exuding a youthful fragrance, and whispered a half-hearted confession in my ear.

With a few light steps, a nimble body, and a silvery laugh, the girl held her breath for a moment and made her first, her first all-out leap.

She jumped up and hugged Asakusa Toru, whispering in his ear.

He uttered words that sounded like a confession.

You like that answer, right?

She said.

"..." Asakusa Toru silent, then wrapped his arms around Sakayanagi Arisu's waist, feeling her obvious trembling. He pulled her close to his chest, embracing her tightly with both hands as if he wanted to bury her in his body. He lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers.

Even as the temperature suddenly rose, he spoke softly:

"I would have liked it even more if this confession had been a little more sincere."

Chapter 298 I won't allow it

A confession that is insincere and feigned.

The body exhibits a noticeable tremor upon first contact with a member of the opposite sex.

I could already clearly hear my heartbeat quickening.

The blood stained her neck red.

The girl's confession at this moment is false.

But the courage is real.

What she received today was enough for her to force herself to forget all the unpleasantness of the past, and what she was given today was enough for her to let go of all the worries that had arisen in her heart before.

"..." Sakayanagi Arisu softly.

Can I fall in love with him?

Yes, I can.

The feelings I have about men and women are ultimately meaningless.

If he wants it, then I can hand it over.

Give your heart, and you'll receive a heart in return.

A brilliant deal.

Even if the heart she gives comes at no cost whatsoever, and is completely disproportionate to what he gives in return.

But transactions are inherently based on mutual consent.

However, since that's the case...

... Let me include a little more as a bonus.

I wish I could really fall in love with him.

Sakayanagi Arisu made this wish, then gently stretched her arms down slightly.

"Let's go to my room and do more things."

She pressed her body even closer, wrapped her arms around his neck, and uttered some ambiguous words.

She was once a delicate porcelain doll.

Slender, fair arms; delicate, jade-like legs; the contours and curves of her body; petite, small enough to be gently held in the hand.

Little Fly ○ Cup.

Even in the dreamlike state where she had briefly experienced a healthy body, her responsibility remained to be a vessel, receiving all desires.

Strands of silvery-white hair clung haphazardly to her cheeks along with beads of sweat, leaving her delicate face tinged with a pinkish haze.

Her slightly parted red lips, her rapid breathing, and her barely able-bodied posture possessed a unique charm that belonged to Sakayanagi Arisu.

Play with it until it breaks.

That's how toys are meant to be played with.

Play her to the point where she can't take it anymore, play her until she's broken.

She was once a delicate porcelain doll.

Dolls are difficult to move on their own; they are meant to be manipulated and played with at will.

--Dolls need to be carefully cared for.

Things we cherish and treasure must be handled gently, slowly, and tenderly, without allowing them to be damaged in the slightest.

This is to empathize.

But what if a doll is no longer just a doll, and the doll no longer wants to be treated as a doll?

The release that comes from refusing to be loved and cherished, and from excessive repression, is naturally what one seeks...

They rebelled.

"... Even if I had to do it just once, it wouldn't be a problem, right?"

"I don't care, I want to be on top."

"I've already given you my ○, so you're just going to let me be on top!"

"Remember this, Asakusa Toru: It's me who's doing you, not the other way around!"

"Either you make me cry, or I'll make you cry!"

A healthy body can do many things and can be stretched in a variety of postures.

For Sakayanagi Arisu, it was something she had long wanted to experience.

This makes people even more excited.

Extremely excited, eager to try.

As for the Special Exam...

What kind of Special Exam?

That kind of thing is irrelevant!

She even considered dropping out of school to go to the beach.
