Kushida Kikyo's Thoughts and Conditions

Hashiba Hikaru looked at the short-haired girl beside her.

"What's up?"

Kushida Kikyo shifted her gaze from Horikita Suzune and looked up at Hashiba Hikaru's face.

"It's about the Student Council officer election from last time. Horikita also wants to be Student Council officer, and she asked me why I would vote for you."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled slightly, "You can explain the specific reasons to her."

At this point, the boy gave the short-haired girl a meaningful look, since Horikita Suzune's stock price was currently rising slowly, and directly saying that Kushida was the pre-selected candidate might have other implications.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Upon hearing Hashiba Hikaru's explanation, Kushida Kikyo's eyes narrowed immediately, and an even sweeter smile spread across her face. This was the point she always believed she had over other girls, and now was the perfect opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Since Horikita- kun is so eager to know the reason, then I'll tell you."

"Answer properly."

Fearing she might say something inappropriate, Hashiba Hikaru added another sentence.

"I understand."

After nodding, Kushida Kikyo pretended to think for a moment before asking, "You want to be a Student Council member?"

"I believe I am capable enough for this task, so I'd like to ask why Classmate Hashiba chose you."

Horikita Suzune's tone was decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

"So that's how it is."

Kushida Kikyo nodded again, a cold smile playing on her lips. Her voice was icy. "But the answer you want to know might be a bit complicated. Horikita- san, are you really willing to listen?"

"If I knew the reason, maybe it would be my turn next time."

"Snort."

The short-haired girl felt Hashiba Hikaru pat her on the back, meaning not to directly point out the pre-arranged arrangement. Although Kushida Kikyo was obedient, she thought of a more interesting answer at this moment.

Actually, there are two conditions.

Facing Kushida Kikyo Horikita Suzune's gaze, Kikyo Kushida held up two fingers. "The first requirement is to be popular. Horikita- san, do you think you can do that?"

"..."

Being popular might have been a lifelong curse for Horikita Suzune; she simply didn't have any friends. Even if someone was willing to spend time with her, they would quickly leave, which is just her personality.

"And the second condition?"

Horikita Suzune continued to ask questions.

"I think Horikita is even less likely to meet the second condition,"

Kushida Kikyo leaned her shoulder against Hashiba Hikaru, her voice suddenly taking on a seductive quality.

What is it?

For some reason, Horikita Suzune felt a little nervous. She glanced at Hashiba Hikaru, whose expression had become somewhat off, and a sense of anticipation quietly rose in her heart.

"That's how I became Hashiba Yuu-san..."

Kushida Kikyo glanced around, and after confirming that no one was paying attention, she said again, "My lover."

"Ah?"

Hashiba Hikaru's expression changed instantly. Seeing Horikita Suzune's face slowly turning red, she immediately explained, "Actually, that's not how it is. Kushida was just joking."

No.

Kushida Kikyo explained earnestly, "Because I became Classmate Hashiba's lover, the other Student Council members gave me face and voted for me."

"... Shut up!"

Hashiba Hikaru originally intended for Kushida Kikyo to make up some excuse to get by, but she didn't expect her to be so direct. Now, he's still unsure about Horikita Suzune's intentions. If things go wrong, the other party's stock price will be hard to control.

However, to the boy's surprise, when Kushida Kikyo stated this condition, the black-haired girl opposite him blushed, but a strange light flashed in her eyes.

No.

What do you want to do?

Chapter 453 Kushida Kikyo's Thoughts and Conditions

After finishing her dinner with Horikita Suzune, Hashiba Hikaru took Kushida Kikyo back to their dormitory. On the way, the boy remained silent for a long time.

"What's wrong? Are Hikaru-kun still upset about what we just talked about?"

As a sensitive young woman, Kushida Kikyo naturally understood her man's thoughts.

"It's just a little strange."

Hashiba Hikaru rubbed her temples. "What you just said might have made Horikita think strangely. I appointed you as Student Council officer because I trust your abilities, not because of our personal relationship."

"I know, I said that on purpose."

The short-haired girl grabbed the boy's arm, a triumphant smile on her lips. "Given Horikita's personality, do you think she'll still contact you after knowing the answer?"

"Is this considered eliminating a love rival in advance?"

Hashiba Hikaru raised an eyebrow slightly. He wasn't angry, because Horikita Suzune's stock price hadn't dropped.

"Yes."

Kushida Kikyo nodded emphatically, her melodious voice suddenly turning low. "I know that Hikaru-kun can never belong to me alone. Perhaps many people will share you with me in the future, but Horikita Suzune must not be among them!"

"Why?"

"Because I've already lost to her several times, I absolutely cannot lose in this area!"

This is the most important principle in Kushida Kikyo's heart, and the reason why she is unwilling to back down.

She could accept being with Hashiba Hikaru along with Sakura Airi, but she couldn't accept Horikita Suzune becoming Hashiba Hikaru's lover as well.

"But if you put it that way, have you considered another issue?"

Hashiba Hikaru held Kushida Kikyo's small hand, her voice soft.

"What's the problem?"

As they approached Hashiba Hikaru's dormitory, Kushida Kikyo seemed to sense something, paused slightly, and looked up into the boy's eyes.

"The ideas you just proposed are all from your own perspective,"

Hashiba Hikaru gently stroked the girl's face. "What if, by chance, I want to take the initiative to approach her?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Kushida Kikyo's eyes first flashed with a strange light, then she showed a hint of panic, clenching her small fists as she began to think about how to respond.

Are you surprised?

Hashiba Hikaru's voice was gentle. He opened his door and led the short-haired girl inside, holding her small hand.

Click.

After the door was closed, Kushida Kikyo finally spoke.

"Hikaru-kun... do you like that woman?"

The tone of her voice was somewhat cold. Although she was mostly in a sweet and gentle state when she was with Kushida Kikyo, that didn't mean it was her true nature.

The girl's aggressiveness had already been hidden when she decided that Hashiba Hikaru her man, but that didn't mean it had completely disappeared.

"When faced with a question that cannot be answered, people like to answer the question with another question."

Hashiba Hikaru sat down on the sofa with Kushida Kikyo. He put his arm around her thin shoulder and said gently, "I can only tell you that I don't dislike Horikita, and I even want to continue to associate with her."

"As for whether a closer relationship will develop later, I'm not quite sure myself."

After hearing the answer, Kushida Kikyo took a deep breath, looked up at her man, and felt a mix of emotions.

"... Is it really her who's the only one for me?"

"These are things we'll only know in the future. I won't force Kikyo to maintain a good relationship with her, but you need to understand one thing."

"Relationships are always matters only for the people involved; outsiders have no right to make demands or conditions."

Hashiba Hikaru turned his gaze away from the girl. He knew it was strange to say that, but for Kushida Kikyo, speaking frankly was the most appropriate way to communicate. However, this was not the case for Ichinose, because she would care more about other people's inner thoughts.

"I see."

The heavy look on the short-haired girl's pretty face gradually faded. She had actually been thinking about a solution to this problem, but when she heard what Hashiba Hikaru said, Kushida Kikyo immediately realized what was going on.

Someone had already taken the initiative between Hashiba Hikaru and Horikita Suzune, and now they were just one step away from completing the change in their relationship.

Perhaps what I just said will be a catalyst for their relationship, producing unexpected results.

"What do you understand?"

Hashiba Hikaru also put away her previous imposing aura, and her tone became even gentler.

"I know what kind of man I've fallen in love with, but there's nothing I can do; I'm already poisoned by you."

Kushida Kikyo cleared her mind of all the random thoughts, then straddled Hashiba Hikaru's legs, wrapped her arms around the boy's neck, and stared into his eyes.

"Since Hikaru-kun has already said so, then I'm not going to bother with you anymore."

"Uh-huh,"

Hashiba Hikaru hugged her slender waist tightly, a smile playing on her lips. "That good?"

"But you must promise me that no matter what, I will always hold a higher place in your heart than she does."

"Isn't this something that's hard to measure?"

The boy hesitated.

"It's very simple, just quantify it directly."

"How so?"

"If you really get together with that woman Horikita, for every time you sleep with her, you have to sleep with me twice, and so on. That way, you can prove that I'm more important to you."

"..."

Yes, that's a very fitting answer for Kushida Kikyo.

But for some reason, Hashiba Hikaru suddenly felt a slight pain in his lower back. Despite his consistent training and physical strengthening, his Exercise Level had reached Lv.3, but he still felt it wasn't enough.

"How about it?"

Kushida Kikyo tightened her arms, wrapping them tightly around Hashiba Hikaru's neck.

"I understand, I get your thoughts."

"Remember to do it, or I won't let this go!"

Kushida Kikyo snorted, conveying a sense of threat.

"Okay, sure."

The two sat together on the sofa, embracing each other and enjoying the warmth of not being able to see each other for seven days. After a few minutes, Kushida Kikyo began to rub against the boy, and her face became increasingly red.

"What's wrong?"

Hashiba Hikaru joked with a smile.

"Since Honami isn't coming today, I'll take today's portion."

Kushida Kikyo squeezed her thighs together and breathed into Hashiba Hikaru's ear.

"Kikyo really is a crazy woman."

"What? You don't want to be with me anymore? Are you tired of me?"

Although Kushida Kikyo's face was very red, her three consecutive questions were still very effective.

"How could that be? Let's go then."

Hashiba Hikaru picked up the short-haired girl and carried her step by step toward the bedroom.

"You have to make up for the seven days we haven't seen each other!"

"... Yeah?"
