Information Ibuki Mio Lets Slip Unintentionally

He rubbed his sore arms; next month was the girl's birthday, and he should prepare properly.

What is Hikaru-kun thinking?

Seeing the thoughtful expression on the boy beneath her, Kushida Kikyo continued to ask him questions with great interest.

"Thinking about next month,"

Hashiba Hikaru reached out and put her arm around Kikyo's slender waist, speaking softly, "Next month is Kikyo's birthday. Is there anything you'd like as a gift?"

"... Is it your birthday?"

Upon hearing this familiar word, Kushida Kikyo was slightly taken aback. In fact, judging from her cheerful and angelic image that she presented to the outside world, she should have received many birthday gifts and blessings.

But now she cares more about the boy in front of her, and even on her birthday she only wants to spend time alone with him.

"However, given Kikyo's popularity, you'll probably receive many gifts that day. We need to think carefully about how to arrange the meeting."

"I don't know about other things, but you must set aside a whole day to spend with me, even if it means taking a day off."

Kushida Kikyo stared intently into his eyes; this was a condition she would never back down from.

"Of course, I won't go back on my word."

After all, it's a once-a-year occasion, Hashiba Hikaru wouldn't be evasive under such circumstances, so she made her promise decisively.

"That's more like it..."

The other person answered without the slightest hesitation, which filled the short-haired girl's heart with sweetness. She knew that the other person liked her very much, and she could feel it during their time together. That was why her response was even more enthusiastic.

"What's wrong?"

Sensing the changes in the girl's body, Hashiba Hikaru looked somewhat puzzled.

"... One more time."

"..."

"Hurry up~"

"Good."

At midnight, a beautiful melody once again filled the warm bedroom, lingering for a long time.

One afternoon, the pink-haired girl received a text message from Kiryuuin Fuuka after school. She glanced at the empty seat next to her; Hashiba Hikaru had already gone to the Student Council, and now she was going to do her part for the class.

After leaving the classroom, Ichinose Honami arrived at the place she had arranged to meet Kiryuin. For the past few days, their focus had been on various clubs, and they had been in contact with the club leaders and managers.

"Kiryuin, I'm here."

As the girl entered the lobby of the Club Building, she immediately spotted the tall, silver-haired figure.

After spending a lot of time with this senior, Ichinose Honami actually envied Kiryuuin Fuuka's personality, because she was someone who didn't care about other people's opinions and evaluations at all. Moreover, her attitude was different from Horikita Suzune's arrogant and conceited attitude; she truly looked down on everyone.

After all, she was capable enough to do so.

"Oh, you've arrived."

Turning her head and seeing the pink-haired girl, Kiryuuin Fuuka greeted her with a smile. The time they had spent together had brought them closer, since Ichinose Honami was a very easy person to get along with and wouldn't make the silver-haired girl feel uncomfortable.

Where are we going today?

Ichinose Honami gazed intently at the other's beautiful features.

"Let's continue trying to gain the support of the executives today, let's go with the Music Club."

Kiryuuin Fuuka smiled slightly. The Music Club is actually a fairly large club, with many different departments under its jurisdiction, each governed according to the different instruments played.

The president of the Music Club is a Second Year student who is a staunch supporter of Nagumo. She is the person that Ichinose Honami and Kiryuuin Fuuka have been trying hard to win over recently. However, after several attempts, they realized that they had to change their strategy. After all, voting from the bottom up is also an option, and they can also win over more department heads.

Are you confident?

After entering the Music Club floor, Kiryuuin Fuuka paused for a moment and then asked.

"Certainly."

"That's fine then. Remember, you should speak first, and after we've had our round of conversation, I'll give my opinion."

"Um."

Unbeknownst to Hashiba Hikaru, the girls were all striving forward until they met the acceptance criteria—a signal that the harvest was imminent.

Chapter 409 The information that Ibuki Mio unintentionally revealed.

One afternoon, after finishing his Student Council duties, Hashiba Hikaru glanced at his phone and saw a text message from Shiina Hiyori, a member of Class C who had just won the Final Exam.

Chat interface.

Shiina Hiyori: Is Classmate Hashiba free today?

Hashiba Hikaru: What's wrong?

Shiina Hiyori: If you're free, Classmate Hashiba, I'd like to invite you to our Reading Club. I've recently bought a lot of mystery novels; I wonder if you'd be interested?

After seeing the reply, the boy thought about his plans for the day and realized he should have time to go.

He typed immediately.

Hashiba Hikaru: Sure, where is the location?

Shiina Hiyori: Let's go to the usual place. I'll wait here for Classmate Hashiba to arrive.

Hashiba Hikaru: OK.

The usual spot was actually that corner of the Library, which Hashiba Hikaru was very familiar with. After tidying up his desk, he looked up at Sakayanagi Arisu, who was sitting opposite him.

It is said that after the testimony that day, the Katsuragi Faction suffered another blow in Class B. Four of the nine people who were originally supporting Katsuragi Kohei left, leaving only five people in the man's faction, which was completely unable to make any waves.

"Is there something you need Classmate Hashiba?"

Sakayanagi Arisu naturally sensed the other person's gaze and looked up to ask.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to see you."

"Yeah?"

A smile suddenly appeared on the silver-haired girl's lips. "I have a few questions I'd like to ask you, Classmate Hashiba. Could you answer them for me?"

"Can."

After glancing at his phone, Hashiba Hikaru decided to play a trick on her.

Is the person you're going to meet later a girl?

"Yes."

"Is she a girl from your class or another class?"

"From another class."

Are Classmate Hashiba and her close?

"Good."

After the three simple questions and answers, Hashiba Hikaru's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Sakayanagi, who was now deep in thought, and asked, "It seems that Classmate Sakayanagi has a lot of questions every day."

"That's true. I always have a lot of questions for you, Classmate Hashiba."

"Then let's come again next time, the three spots for today are all taken."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled slightly. He thought of his promise to Sakayanagi Arisu. After all, she still hadn't mentioned the last request he had promised her, which the boy had kept in mind.

"Okay, then let's ask again tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll be going now."

Hashiba Hikaru didn't linger. After his tall figure left the Student Council, Sakayanagi Arisu began communicating with Kamuro Masumi via her mobile phone.

After this loyal dog's investigation, the silver-haired girl learned that there were many girls surrounding Hashiba Hikaru, at least six or seven.

Although her upbringing in a wealthy family made Sakayanagi Arisu quite accepting of this situation, the sheer number of people was indeed beyond her expectations.

After all, with more people around, Hashiba Hikaru's attention on her will inevitably decrease.

Sakayanagi Arisu, who has already developed a strong interest in Hashiba Hikaru, certainly doesn't want this to happen. Once she has completely taken control of Class B, her next step will be to officially launch an attack on Class A.

In a corner of the Library, Hashiba Hikaru arrived at a familiar spot, her gaze fixed on the gray-haired girl sitting at the table reading a book. Unfortunately, however, there was a short-haired protector beside her— Ibuki Mio.

"Shiina, I'm here."

After approaching, Hashiba Hikaru greeted him, and then felt two pairs of eyes fall on her at the same time.

Good afternoon, Classmate Hashiba.

Shiina Hiyori was naturally overjoyed, but the short-haired girl next to her was not so friendly. She just gave Hashiba Hikaru a cold look and didn't even bother to greet her.

"Looks like someone doesn't quite trust me, actually following me to the Library. Do you really know how to read? Ibuki."

After Hashiba Hikaru sat down, she asked Ibuki Mio, who was sitting diagonally opposite her, with a smile.

"Since you know the reason, why do you still need to ask me?"

If you count the time, Ibuki Mio has known Hashiba Hikaru for a long time, but she still has a strong sense of wariness towards this handsome and popular first-year student. It's not that she really dislikes him, but rather that her competitive nature is at play.

"But I really didn't come here to pry into your class information; I was just reading with Shiina."

Hashiba Hikaru shrugged, then picked up a novel that the girl opposite her had pushed towards her.

"Whatever the reason, I need to be wary of you. After all, you're too dangerous, so I can't let Shiina have any contact with you alone."

Ibuki Mio didn't seem angry; it had become a habit of hers.

"Ibuki, don't say that. Classmate Hashiba and I are not only book lovers, but also good friends."

Shiina Hiyori gently comforted her friend, after all, their relationship had become even better since Ryuen took office, and they were supportive companions.

"But this guy already has a girlfriend, so I think you'd better not have too high hopes for him."

Ibuki Mio knew exactly what her friend was thinking; she would never allow Shiina Hiyori to become Hashiba Hikaru's mistress.

"What did you say...?"

A blush appeared on the gray-haired girl's face. Although she had already expressed her feelings to Hashiba Hikaru, she was still unwilling to directly express these secret thoughts.

"Alright, let's read some books then."

Hashiba Hikaru withdrew her gaze from Shiina Hiyori and Ibuki Mio.

"Mmm, let's read."

Shiina Hiyori picked up the book beside her, secretly glanced at Hashiba Hikaru's face, and then shifted her gaze to the newly opened book.

After a while, Hashiba Hikaru noticed that Ibuki Mio, who was sitting opposite her, started playing on her phone listlessly, and it seemed that she was chatting with someone.

The boy, who was multitasking, noticed all of this and decided to test the other party.

"Oh right, I almost forgot, I haven't congratulated you on your victory yet."

Hashiba Hikaru looked into Ibuki Mio's eyes, a smile playing on her lips, "Beating Class B is no easy feat."

"No need for congratulations. Our goal has always been to achieve final victory, so your class is also an opponent we need to defeat."

Although Ibuki Mio is no longer the class representative, her goal has never changed.

"Really? Are you planning to challenge us next time?"

"Hmph, do you think I'd tell you something like that?"

"How boring. But I'm really curious, how were your Private Points distributed after Ryuen became the class representative?"

Hashiba Hikaru was genuinely interested, after all, Class C had previously won points from the Cruise Ship, and that amount wasn't small.

"This is none of your business."

"All right."

Although his verbal attitude was harsh, Hashiba Hikaru Ibuki Mio. He had already locked onto her hand when he asked the question, and the girl would subconsciously pick at her fingers whenever she was nervous.

This explains a lot.

It seems that Ryuen Kakeru's ambitions are indeed quite large.
