Calling on Kiryuin Fuuka for Help; A Threat Draws Near

A hint of disappointment flashed in Sakura Airi's eyes. She hadn't seen Hashiba Hikaru come to her dorm to spend the night for three or four days, and the girl was still feeling lonely.

"What I need to discuss with you today is very important, Sakura. How about we talk about it tonight?"

Kushida Kikyo took in the changes in the other person's expression and immediately pressed for an answer.

"Is it about that thing you mentioned last time?"

Sakura Airi thought of a suggestion that made her blush and her heart race.

"Yes."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Sakura Airi finally nodded. Although she didn't quite agree with Kushida Kikyo's suggestion, she was willing to try it if it could increase her standing in Hashiba Hikaru's heart.

"Okay, meet at your dorm at 7 p. m., I'll be there on time."

After Kushida Kikyo's invitation ended, she immediately turned around and returned to her seat.

After receiving a birthday promise from Hashiba Hikaru Hashima, the short-haired girl decided to surprise him before Christmas, thinking he would be quite taken aback.

As for Sakura Airi, who was sitting at the back of the classroom, she was clutching her phone tightly, her eyes flashing with a complex light.

She originally thought she could be second, so that although she wouldn't get as much time as Ichinose Honami, she wouldn't get too little either.

Now that she knows that Kushida Kikyo and Hashiba Hikaru also maintain such a close relationship, the girl's desires have become more complicated. Everyone hopes to be able to stay with their loved one forever, but she knows that this wish has nothing to do with her. Being able to receive even a little bit of the other person's affection is already a luxury.

[Can I really stay with the light forever?]

The red-haired girl, her thoughts in turmoil, sighed inwardly.

After the school bell rang, Sakura Airi packed her bag and left the classroom.

Although she had joined Hasebe's study group, the Final Exam were now over, and the girl had many things on her mind, so instead of going to see her friends, she returned to her dormitory alone.

She waited in the dormitory until about 6:50 when she heard a knock on the door, so she immediately got up to open it.

Good afternoon, Sakura.

"Good afternoon, Kushida."

A stylishly dressed, short-haired girl walked into the girl's bedroom with a smile. This was her first time there, and to be polite, Kushida Kikyo didn't look around but went straight to the table in the middle.

"Kushida, would you like something to drink?"

Since a guest had arrived, Sakura Airi, as was her custom, prepared some tea for them.

What is it?

"Only soda water comes in peach and orange flavors."

Sakura Airi opened the refrigerator and glanced inside. These were two drinks that were always kept in her dorm room, drinks that Hashiba Hikaru liked to drink.

"I want peach flavor."

"OK."

After pouring her a drink, Sakura Airi sat down opposite Kushida Kikyo. Even though she was the one who owned the dorm room, she seemed a little reserved.

"No need to be so nervous. Since Sakura has already guessed it, I won't keep it a secret."

After taking a sip of soda water, Kushida Kikyo smiled.

"Yes, I know what you mean."

"Sakura, didn't you say you were willing last time? You haven't changed your mind, have you?"

The short-haired girl's delicate face held an expectant look.

"If it's just desire, I'm willing to try anything."

This is Sakura Airi's starting point; she is willing to make the effort voluntarily.

"If the two of us went with him, he'd probably be laughing in his sleep."

Kushida Kikyo pouted; she knew perfectly well what her man liked.

"I... I do."

Sakura Airi thought for a moment, then nodded slightly. The mental preparation for this matter wasn't very complicated for her, and she didn't show any particular resistance.

"Good."

Upon hearing the affirmative reply, Kushida Kikyo immediately beamed with joy. She took out her phone and started texting Hashiba Hikaru to discuss the specific time, since he would definitely be spending Christmas with Ichinose Honami, and the girl planned to make arrangements with him in advance.

Chat interface.

Kushida Kikyo: Let's choose a day before Christmas.

Hashiba Hikaru:???

Kushida Kikyo: Have you forgotten what I said last time? About that matter?

"?"

Hashiba Hikaru, sitting at his desk, was still a little confused after seeing the message. He touched his forehead and began to carefully recall what Kushida Kikyo had mentioned.

At that moment, the girl sent her second message.

Kushida Kikyo: I'm with Sakura, haven't you realized yet?

"Oh oh."

Upon seeing Sakura Airi's name, Hashiba Hikaru suddenly realized what was going on. The incident that Kushida Kikyo had mentioned before flashed through his mind, and a sense of curiosity arose in his heart.

Hashiba Hikaru: I remember now, but this kind of thing really isn't very good.

Kushida Kikyo: Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? I've already spoken to Sakura, and she's agreed.

Hashiba Hikaru:...

Kushida Kikyo: That's why I need to confirm the Good Time with you; it has to meet the requirements.

Kushida Kikyo: Sakura and I will come to your place to spend the night then~

Although it was only two short lines, the information it conveyed made people's imaginations run wild. Hashiba Hikaru pursed her lips and continued typing her reply.

Hashiba Hikaru: Does Airi really agree?

Kushida Kikyo: Yes.

Hashiba Hikaru:... Then let's do it on the Saturday night before Christmas. I'll make the arrangements.

Kushida Kikyo: Alright, then please look forward to it Hikaru-kun.

Hashiba Hikaru: Hmm.

Chapter 414 Asking Kiryuuin Fuuka to Take Action: An Imminent Threat.

After confirming the arrangements before Christmas with Kushida Kikyo and Sakura Airi, Hashiba Hikaru flipped through her calendar to plan her time management. As the second semester was coming to a close, she needed to better fulfill her ideas.

The entire Christmas Day was to be spent with his girlfriend, and he needed to find a suitable excuse to avoid her on Christmas Eve. Hashiba Hikaru rubbed his hair, planning to use a reason to attract Ichinose Honami's attention so that things wouldn't go wrong that day.

This is where Kiryuuin Fuuka comes in. Although she's unsure if the other party will agree, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

The boy took out his phone and started texting the Silver-haired Senior who found school boring.

Chat interface.

Hashiba Hikaru: Kiryuin- senpai, I need your help with something.

The other party replied very quickly; a reply came in less than two minutes after he sent the message.

Kiryuuin Fuuka: What's the matter?

Kiryuuin Fuuka: You don't mean you want me to help you get rid of your girlfriend, do you?

"..."

What mind-reading ability?

Hashiba Hikaru paused slightly, then typed with a wry smile.

Hashiba Hikaru: Pretty much. I'd like to ask Kiryuin- senpai to contact Honami on Christmas Eve, the day before Christmas Eve, preferably in a way that leaves her with no time for anything else.

Kiryuuin Fuuka: Aren't you planning to spend Christmas with your girlfriend?

Hashiba Hikaru: It's Christmas! I've already made all my plans.

Kiryuuin Fuuka: But you have other plans for Christmas Eve, right?

Hashiba Hikaru:... Do you agree?

The silver-haired girl sitting in her dormitory smiled playfully. She thought for a moment that it would be easy to find an excuse to keep Ichinose Honami occupied, but Kiryuuin Fuuka thought that would be too boring and not in line with her purpose of having fun.

After a while, she seemed to have come up with an idea and began to reply to Hashiba Hikaru with a smile.

Kiryuuin Fuuka: Sure, I can help you.

Hashiba Hikaru: Really? Thank you so much Kiryuin- senpai!

Kiryuuin Fuuka: Hmm, so you owe me twice now. Remember to repay me properly next time.

Hashiba Hikaru: I'll be at your beck and call then, senior.

After sending the last message, Hashiba Hikaru saw that the silver-haired senior had replied with an "OK" emoji, and only then did she put down her phone with satisfaction.

During this time, after Ichinose Honami and Kiryuin started working together, the two of them did indeed grow much closer. If they used work-related matters as an excuse, they could easily complete the task. It all depended on Kiryuuin Fuuka's performance on the spot.

After knowing each other for so long, Hashiba Hikaru has come to understand this senior who loves watching the drama unfold better. She has helped her several times and is practically an ally. So far, she hasn't made any demands, making her a very suitable candidate.

After making the arrangements, Hashiba Hikaru opened a shopping website on her computer and continued to select different types of Christmas gifts for the girls. Looking at the dazzling array of product information, the boy carefully checked the product descriptions, wanting to make a choice as soon as possible, after all, time waits for no one.

Just as Hashiba Hikaru was racking her brains over what to choose for Christmas gifts, in the Student Council's Conference Room, a blond man was talking with his childhood friend.

"How's it going?"

Miyabi Nagumo placed her hand on the table and asked the other party about the information they had gathered.

"For now, we can only obtain the most basic information. As for more in-depth plans... you know Kiryuin, she won't give up easily."

Asahina Nazuna sat opposite the man and calmly answered his questions.

The girl's feelings for Miyabi Nagumo are actually quite complicated. The two are indeed good friends, but she doesn't have romantic feelings for him. On the contrary, because they are close, many people misunderstand him. This is the key secret that Asahina finds difficult to confide in others.

"I really don't understand why a Second Year senior from Kiryuin would listen to that guy Hashiba?"

Miyabi Nagumo recalled her previous rejection, a venomous glint flashing in her eyes.

"Ya should be on guard. They're moving very quickly, and many people have already expressed their support for them."

Asahina Nazuna also had a wealth of information-gathering channels and already knew a lot of things.

"Heh, he underestimates me. If you could get votes just by bribing and making promises, then why did Kiriyama fail?"

Miyabi Nagumo's lips curled into a cold smile. When he first entered the school, he was in Class B of the First Year, but he quickly defeated the original Class A of the First Year and completed the class ranking leap. Now, as the person in charge of the Second Year, if he can only manipulate some exchanges of benefits, then he is too weak.

"Does Ya already have a plan?"

Asahina Nazuna saw a confident smile on the man's face and couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Yes, since they're targeting me, they won't give up until they launch an impeachment proceedings."

Miyabi Nagumo took out her phone and glanced at the contact list. "Let's strike first. If the impeachment is successful, Hashiba Yujima will be completely free of threat."

"Is that so?"

Asahina Nazuna understood what the other person was thinking, but she was still somewhat worried. "Is Miyabi sure you can win? If the impeachment fails, it will damage your prestige."

"Heh, I've been in the Student Council much longer than him. If it weren't for Horikita Manabu's support, do you think Hashiba could have become the Vice President?"

This is the core reason why Miyabi Nagumo dislikes Hashiba Hikaru. Although Horikita Manabu still nominated him to be the new Student Council President before stepping down, nomination and support are two different things.

Miyabi Nagumo was very unhappy because Horikita Manabu had called on all the third-year students to vote for the boy.

He is clearly the rightful heir, but the Student Council and the third-year students prefer this first-year student.

On what grounds?

This is a problem that Miyabi Nagumo cares about quite a bit.
