A Smooth Operator in Love!!

This is his classmate and childhood friend. She knows him very well, but she's also the person he likes.

Now, he dialed Asahina's number, but it was Sakayanagi's phone that rang, meaning that Sakayanagi had borrowed Asahina's phone.

No wonder he felt the phone case looked so familiar.

So, does that mean Sakayanagi is going to introduce a first-year boy to Asahina?

So, what kind of strange knowledge have you been transmitting to Asahina these days? Have you been introducing Asahina to some first-year juniors?

No? No.

Sakayanagi- senpai, you didn't do that, did you?

Nagumo knew that his childhood sweetheart was beautiful, cheerful, and even somewhat naive, and that she was excellent in both academics and physical abilities.

They are also intelligent, making them an exceptionally outstanding childhood sweetheart.

Miyabi Nagumo also felt that Asahina was a perfect match for him, but after arriving at this school, he discovered that it prioritized strength above all else, and those with strength should be given more privileges.

And he, who was already outstanding, also attracted female fans.

Fueled by the adoration of his female fans, he developed even greater ambitions: to interact with even more beautiful women. So, what will Asahina do?

Knowing he's a womanizer, you should definitely stay away from him.

But it's okay.

He considered himself indispensable, and Asahina was certainly inseparable from him.

After all, he was the representative of the class, the person in charge of the entire grade, and the future Student Council President, so he began to show some of his ambitions, even suppressing some people who might like Asahina or want to pursue Asahina.

This is his assertiveness.

But none of this matters; reality will gradually allow Asahina to understand and accept him as he is.

And now.

Sakayanagi borrowed Asahina's phone, possibly intending to introduce Asahina to a first-year student. But is Asahina that kind of person? Would she be so easily introduced?

Although he felt that Sakayanagi had ill intentions, he now genuinely felt... a little panicked.

Because there might be a 20% chance that Asahina will waver.

Because if she had a choice, she might not need to stay where she is, but would leave his circle.

Especially among first-year students, there are indeed some very dangerous junior students.

Then.

After Sakayanagi returned the phone, Asahina was then pestered by Miyabi Nagumo, who demanded that she format the phone and forbade her from meeting the first-year students.

Especially a junior named Nakano Yuu —he absolutely must not meet her. And if she refuses, he will make her best friend in Class C drop out of school for the next exam.

"..."

Asahina.

This request was strange, even making Asahina feel that Miyabi Nagumo was too domineering, and that using her good friend to threaten her was simply excessive.

This made her increasingly convinced that Miyabi Nagumo could not possibly be her true love.

But that's a story for another time.

And at 2 PM.

The students were told to pack their personal belongings, meaning they would be disembarking.

Nakano Yuu didn't have many personal belongings, as some things were kept with Horikita. He had come directly to the deck.

"That, that--"

Then a sound came from the other side.

Profound.

It was Sakura Airi. Come to think of it, he hadn't spent much time with her since leaving school. And when he discovered that Sakura had started to subtly follow him, he often managed to shake her off.

After all, he mostly meets girls, so it's quite risky to always have a little tagalong, who might also be a backup option.

"It feels like these past two weeks have gone by so fast."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"Um."

Airi nodded.

I almost cried because it seemed like there had been absolutely no progress with Nakano-kun in the past two weeks.

Nakano Yuu is looking ahead with a relaxed expression, and this scene makes her, who loves taking pictures, really want to take a picture right now, but she knows that would be very impolite.

She followed Nakano Yuu's gaze and looked towards the coastline ahead; she figured she could probably get back to school by evening.

Both of them stood on the Banjo, gazing at the beautiful view of the sea.

Kamuro Masumi from Class B simply came out onto the Banjo as usual, but she spotted Nakano Yuu and Airi at a glance.

Then I noticed Ichinose was holding onto the railing and taking photos with her companions.

So, does that mean Nakano Yuu is still following Ichinose?

So, Sakayanagi. Your ex-boyfriend clearly already has someone he likes. How could he possibly go back to you?

But behind those two, she noticed a blonde stunner talking to her companions, who kept glancing in Nakano Yuu and Airi's direction. Kushida also taking pictures with her friends. But it was clear that Kushida was subtly looking at Nakano Yuu.

This scene was quite surprising to Kamuro.

Because.

Um?

Kamuro thinks that Sakayanagi is jealous and doesn't value Kushida, so she tells her to pay attention to Ichinose.

However, Ichinose and Nakano Yuu haven't had much contact lately, while the number of girls around Nakano Yuu has increased.

Is this really okay?

In this way.

At 5 p. m., all the first-year students returned to school, Island Exam and VIP Exam came to an end.

During dinner that evening, Nakano Yuu also saw the empty-nest Liu.

P. S.: 13,000 words today, 9,000 words to pay off debts, still 177,000 words owed.

Chapter 99 A Master of Romance!!

In the evening, after the Uninhabited Island Exam and the VIP Exam were over, the first-year students all disembarked from the ship in a relieved atmosphere and took the school's special bus back to the campus they had been away from for more than ten days.

Advanced Nurturing High School. Back in this place again.

The huge cherry blossom tree at the school gate still exudes the fragrance of cherry blossom petals, and everything seems unchanged. However, what is different is the restlessness of the students.

Because returning to school means the end of the blissful vacation life paid for by the school.

However, the students in Class D seem to have forgotten the pain once the wound has healed.

Everyone earned 70,000 points from the Island Exam, and for the next two months, they would earn approximately 70,000 points each month.

Meanwhile, in the VIP Exam, nearly half of the students earned 100,000 points, while three VIP earned 250,000 points.

In other words, the students in Class D are no longer in dire need of funds for the time being.

Each person can earn a total income of around 20.8-30.8, which, if saved, can last for more than a year.

As soon as they had the money, a student suggested having a celebration, and the rest of the class agreed, but Nakano refused.

The reason is simple: he had an appointment.

My phone received a message from an unexpected person.

[I Want to See You] - Kamuro Masumi

In other words...

Oh, a text message from Kamuro Masumi?

She actually took the initiative to contact him? Nakano Yuu hesitated for half a second with his fingers hovering over the keyboard, but still clicked on the chat box that was filled with pink bubbles.

I want to see you

You didn't misread it.

Nakano stared at the line of text for a full thirty seconds, his mind racing. Normally, to avoid the news of recruiting Kamuro as a mole being exposed early on, he wouldn't deliberately exchange contact information with Kamuro.

However, during this time away from school, he mentioned several times in his phone calls with Sakayanagi that he wanted to take Sakayanagi's Puppy. So, by passing the VIP treatment exam, he could increase his contact with Kamuro again, and naturally, he and Kamuro became friends.

It looks like a perfectly normal situation.

But.

Nakano Yuu didn't think Kamuro was the type to suddenly become infatuated.

So, that's what happened, right? As soon as Kamuro returned to school, Classmate Sakayanagi confiscated his phone. Or perhaps, Sakayanagi deliberately had Kamuro send a phishing text message?

You've only just returned to school, and you're already this active, Lao Liu!

"They're really slow."

Sure enough, as soon as I stepped into the agreed location, I was met with a look from someone that seemed to be looking at my panties with disgust. Meanwhile, Kamuro, who had sent the ambiguous message, was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, impatiently tapping her phone case with her fingertips.

Clearly, she must have been waiting for a while.

"Hehe."

Nakano remained polite.

It's obvious.

The seemingly affectionate text messages she sent were just a facade.

It must have been her boss Classmate Sakayanagi, who taught her to send the message this way. Once she sent it, he would come running over no matter what.

Ah.

We've been tricked.

"Because Class D is having a victory celebration."

Nakano Yuu's favorability rating dropped by 50 points, probably because he felt stood up, so he made a sarcastic remark, "And you guys probably can't understand this kind of celebratory feeling."

"Or rather, if you go back to school, then you'll truly be students in Class B."

"..."

A fleeting look of displeasure crossed Kamuro's face.

Having been assigned to Class A, she seemed to have a strong desire to remain in Class A.

I don't want to end up in Class B.

Or even lower.

This is probably the ambition of all the students in Class A.

After all, the students in Class A all want to maintain their status as much as possible. Not only can they receive school awards by graduating from Class A, but also because falling out of class means being ridiculed or even called trash. They entered the school with an elite evaluation and don't want to lose.

However, it's too late to reverse things now, at least since there's no exam yet. According to the ranking rules, their class is now Class B. It's not just the class name that changes during the VIP treatment exam; the class sign will also be changed after they return to school.

And it is precisely because of this replacement that the feeling of emptiness is amplified.

"That's not something I can decide..."

Kamuro was helpless about the exam results. "The person who truly has the power to decide has absolutely no interest in whether or not we can maintain our Class A, or even get more points. It's quite incomprehensible!"

She didn't reveal who the guy was in her words, but it was obvious.

It is Sakayanagi Arisu.

It seems that Kamuro still has some complaints about the VIP exam, and even feels that Sakayanagi is somewhat dissatisfied that he only attacked Ichinose and her group for a VIP spot. If he had eliminated Ichinose and her group's other two VIP spots, then Ichinose Class could have lost another 100 points.

The Kamuro can complain like this means that Sakayanagi shouldn't be here, which explains why he can still bark.
