Kushida Kikyo: "This Part of Me Misses You"

Although Horikita Suzune has a tendency to overthink things, she is not an ungrateful person.

"We're teammates, so it's only right that we help each other. If I run into any problems, Horikita should lend a hand too."

Hashiba Hikaru shook her head and stated her thoughts directly.

"I understand. If Classmate Hashiba encounter any difficult problems in the future, please feel free to tell me."

The black-haired girl's expression hardened, and she responded to the other person's idea quite seriously.

"Let's eat first. Since I'm a witness to this bet, we should meet frequently over the next six days. Remember to contact me anytime."

"Yes, I understand."

Horikita Suzune nodded. She looked at the other person's handsome face and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of anticipation. This was an unprecedented emotion. When the girl realized who she was, she was even a little surprised.

At this moment, Hashiba Hikaru finally saw her System Panel flashing again, with a new notification appearing at the top.

[Horikita Suzune is starting to look forward to seeing you; her dependence on you has increased significantly. Horikita Suzune Stock price has risen by 20, currently at 100.]

"That's really good."

Hashiba Hikaru felt even more satisfied as she watched the stock finally rise to 100. Although Horikita Suzune was a cold and aloof girl, it didn't mean she didn't crave companionship. After all, humans are social animals. By getting closer to her in this way, he slowly melted her heart.

The boy couldn't help but look forward to seeing how her stock price would perform after it continued to rise. What kind of expression would Horikita Suzune show then?

What an exciting future!

"What's wrong with you?"

Horikita Suzune held the bowl, seemingly somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about how to write this script."

"I will work hard."

"Um."

Chapter 367 Kushida Kikyo: I miss you here.

Another new day has begun, and Hashiba Hikaru had already sat up in bed before the alarm clock rang.

"Hmm... it feels like the temperature has dropped again today."

The boy sensed the change in temperature in the air, and at that moment, a drowsy female voice sounded beside him.

"Hikari, are you awake?"

Ichinose Honami, her long pink hair still messy from sleeping, opened her eyes and immediately spotted her boyfriend.

"Yes, it's Saturday today, Honami can sleep in a little longer."

Hashiba Hikaru touched her face, preparing to wash up and go for a run. Even though it was the end of November, he still persisted in his morning exercise.

"No need, I'll get up too."

The girl sat up in bed and immediately felt the chill in the air, which caught her off guard.

"It's gotten colder again today... Honami, you'd better be careful."

Hashiba Hikaru handed the girl her clothes. Last night, Ichinose Honami and her group members were working on compiling the test questions until quite late. By the time he opened his dormitory room door, it was almost 11 p. m.

"What are Guang's plans for today?"

Ichinose Honami rubbed her eyes and started getting dressed.

The sensational post seemed to have no impact on her, the "real person." Regardless of what others thought, the girl only knew that she was the only one who was qualified to embrace Hikari Hashima until Hashiba Hikaru, and no one could compare to her in that respect.

"I need to go to the Student Council to handle some simple matters, and I also have a meeting this morning."

Hashiba Hikaru opened the memo app on her phone. Since becoming Vice President, her tasks had only increased, and she had to work diligently to seize power.

"Alright then, I'll go find Ando and the others after I finish eating."

Ichinose Honami walked confidently into the restroom. Having gotten used to spending the night there, the girl had long since shed her initial shyness and naiveté.

"Okay, I'll go do my morning exercise now."

About an hour later, Hashiba Hikaru returned to his dorm to take a shower, but when he opened the door, he found Ichinose Honami looking at something on her phone.

"What's wrong? Is someone looking for me?"

Upon entering the room, Hashiba Hikaru remained quite cautious. He first glanced at Ichinose Honami's expression, since the girl never proactively checked his phone; she had most likely encountered a situation where someone had called her.

"Yes, someone called Guang, and I answered directly."

Ichinose Honami had already tidied herself up, a gentle smile on her pretty face, though her hand gripping the phone was a little tight.

Who is it?

Having just finished running, Hashiba Hikaru didn't approach directly. Instead, she pretended to walk up to her wardrobe and casually asked a question.

"They all have different reasons for seeking out the light. Why don't you let the light guess?"

The pink-haired girl stared at the three call records on her phone screen. It was Saturday, and all three calls had come before seven o'clock. It was hard not to be suspicious.

"They...?"

Hashiba Hikaru suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, but she still stubbornly insisted, "Who are they? How am I supposed to guess if Honami doesn't tell me their names, haha..."

"Here's a hint: these three students are all in the same class. Can you guess that?"

Ichinose Honami looked at her boyfriend, whose clothes were soaked with sweat. She had already prepared a towel and placed it beside her, but at this moment, the girl did not want to go over and hand it to him.

"In the same class?"

Hashiba Hikaru's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and calmly asked, "Oh, I guessed it. Did they say why they were looking for me?"

"No, when I answered the phone, they all said they were just giving me a simple greeting."

Although Ichinose Honami didn't care about the widely circulated gossip post, she knew very well that her boyfriend was very popular with girls, and there were indeed quite a few people eyeing him.

"Okay, it shouldn't be a big deal, right? I'm going to take a shower; I need to get to the Student Council later."

Hashiba Hikaru took out his change of clothes from the closet. At this moment, he didn't dare to meet Ichinose Honami's eyes; it was better to keep a low profile.

"I'll head out now. Call me when you're done."

The pink-haired girl stood up and gave Hashiba Hikaru a deep look. There was no point in continuing to ask questions at this point; Christmas was just around the corner, and then Ichinose Honami would find out who was eyeing her man.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

After the girl left the dormitory, Hashiba Hikaru wiped the sweat from her forehead and quickly picked up her phone. Sure enough, the three call records were all from girls in Class D of the First Year: Horikita Suzune, Kushida Kikyo, and Sakura Airi.

He could understand the first two, but the rather shy Sakura Airi usually texted him and rarely called. And it just so happened that Ichinose answered the phone, which was really troublesome.

"Never mind, I'll call back later. I'll take a shower first."

After processing all the replies, Hashiba Hikaru arrived at the Student Council office with several documents. As soon as she entered, she caught the attention of a girl she had just spoken to on the phone.

"Vice President Hashiba, you've arrived."

Upon seeing the familiar figure, Kushida Kikyo immediately sat down in his seat. Since it was Saturday, there weren't as many people on duty at the Student Council as there were from Monday to Friday, so she could be more carefree.

"What's wrong?"

Hashiba Hikaru stopped and turned to look at the short-haired girl's face.

"Um... Honami didn't say anything just now, did she?"

Kushida Kikyo looked a little nervous. After getting up early, she immediately thought of Hashiba Hikaru's daily morning run and wanted to hear his voice.

When the call connected, the voice of Ichinose Honami on the other end really startled the short-haired girl. After all, if this relationship were to be clarified, it would be as if she herself was actively trying to steal her best friend's boyfriend, which was hard not to feel nervous about.

"He didn't say anything; Honami won't take it too seriously."

Hashiba Hikaru said casually, "I'm more concerned about what you think. Why did you call me so early?"

"Because of them..."

Kushida Kikyo glanced quickly around, and after making sure no one was paying attention, she stood on tiptoe and whispered in Hashiba Hikaru's ear, "I missed you."

"..."

"Really? Where is it that misses me?"

After sensing the girl's burning passion, Hashiba Hikaru teased her lightly.

"Does Hikaru-kun want to know?"

"I want to know."

Kushida Kikyo was no shy little girl. Having experienced all the things couples do with Hashiba Hikaru, she was just as bold as anyone else. Upon hearing those somewhat ambiguous words, the girl immediately sat down next to Hashiba Hikaru and took his hand.

"Well... I can show you."

The short-haired girl stared intently at her lover, then took his hand and guided it to her body, a move that immediately startled Hashiba Hikaru.

"What you do?"

Hashiba Hikaru growled, "This is the Student Council. Although there aren't many people here, the Student Council officers are all working here not far away."

"You wanted to know, didn't you? Then I'll show it to you, Hikaru-kun. I miss you so much here..."

Kushida Kikyo had a charming smile on her pretty face. She was just about to let the other person use their hands to feel her proud figure, but the boy pulled his hand back in time.

"Let's forget about it, you can just say so."

Hashiba Hikaru glared at her, annoyed. This girl was really bold, daring to do something like this even here.

"You always love this place the most, but now you're just pretending?"

Kushida Kikyo pointed coquettishly to a certain spot on her body, pouting slightly in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, I give up. I'll spend time with you after I finish what I need to do today, okay?"

Hashiba Hikaru Kushida Kikyo appeared to be a gentle and considerate little angel on the surface, at certain times, once she got carried away, her behavior would become quite uncontrollable. Even though they were already so familiar with each other, the boy still didn't dare to gamble on her inner thoughts.

"That's more like it. You haven't come to keep me company for days."

"Okay, I understand. You can go back now."

Hashiba Hikaru planned to have her leave temporarily.

"I saw you go into Horikita's dorm last time, aren't you going to explain that to me?"

Kushida Kikyo did not leave, but instead raised a new question.

At this moment, the girl's previously gentle and charming aura suddenly changed, and even her gaze towards Hashiba Hikaru turned cold.

"You actually saw it?"

"It was just a coincidence, but whether I saw it or not, don't you think you should explain it to me?"

Kushida Kikyo's small face still wore a smile, but her gaze was sharp.

"This is a long story, and I really can't explain it clearly in a short time."

Hashiba Hikaru reflected on her time with Horikita Suzune during this period. Before writing the script, Horikita had collected a lot of information at the Library and held several discussion meetings with her.

"I can wait for your explanation."

The short-haired girl crossed her arms over her chest, as if to say, "I won't leave until you give me an answer."

"Can I explain it to you in detail tonight?"

Hashiba Hikaru smiled wryly, "I have a lot on my plate today. I'll tell you everything tonight."

"..."

Although Kushida Kikyo has a bit of a temper, she is not a person without sense of propriety. Except in bed, she never makes a scene with Hashiba Hikaru Hashima in public, and she quickly regained her composure.

"That's good. Come back to my dorm with me after you finish work today."

Kushida Kikyo glanced at Horikita Suzune's workstation in the Student Council; it seemed she had been on leave for several days.

"Okay, I understand."

Hashiba Hikaru breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed his back might hurt again tomorrow. Even though his stamina had already reached 6 points and he exercised regularly, the boy had a vague feeling in his heart.

If we choose the most perfect ending, these attributes... might not be enough.
