Ichinose Honami Was Curious About Her Boyfriend's Life

"I'm here to deliver a document to the Chairman; President Nagumo sent me."

Hashiba Hikaru carefully handed the document to Sakayanagi Narimori. After the other man took it, his gaze lingered on the phone on the table for several seconds.

"So that's how it is."

The silver-haired man nodded, then looked down to examine the document that had been delivered, while Hashiba Hikaru immediately responded.

"Then I'll take my leave now, Chairman."

"Okay, take Classmate Hashiba."

After leaving the Chairman's office, Hashiba Hikaru summarized her findings. Since she didn't see a third person in the room, and the phone was right next to the other person, it was very likely that the sound she had just heard was from someone making a phone call.

But who would call the school's Chairman?

The boy had a vague guess in his mind. After all, Sakayanagi Arisu had already given a hint last time. Since the [White Room] would not give up on Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, it was expected that they would take action against this school.

"Looks like I need to have a talk with her."

Hashiba Hikaru decided to take this hypothesis to Sakayanagi Arisu.

As a member of the Student Council, Sakayanagi Arisu spends quite a long time there, usually not leaving until around six o'clock. She is currently sitting at her desk processing documents.

"Classmate Sakayanagi?"

Hashiba Hikaru spoke to him in a gentle voice.

"Hmm? Classmate Hashiba actually took the initiative to talk to me today. Did she encounter some troublesome problem?"

A smile appeared on the silver-haired girl's lips. She stopped what she was doing and looked up at the other person's face.

"There has been a discovery, but this issue should be addressed by the two of us together."

Hashiba Hikaru didn't say it directly, after all, his private collaboration with Sakayanagi was a secret.

"I see."

Sakayanagi Arisu immediately understood the other person's implication. She stared at Hashiba Hikaru's slightly serious expression and became more attentive. "Then let's find a quiet place first."

"Can."

Instead of staying in the Student Council, Sakayanagi Arisu quickly packed her things and left with Hashiba Hikaru, heading to a quiet spot— the Club Room that Sakayanagi had originally applied for.

After pouring herself and the other person a cup of black tea, Sakayanagi Arisu sat on her soft cushion, placed her ever-present cane beside her, and looked into Hashiba Hikaru's eyes.

"Please explain the specifics of what happened to me, Classmate Hashiba."

"Um."

Hashiba Hikaru quickly recounted what she had just discovered at the Chairman's Office door. After she finished explaining, the silver-haired girl opposite her seemed to fall into deep thought.

As the only daughter of Sakayanagi Narimori, Sakayanagi Arisu and her father did not communicate very frequently, but they did have some daily exchanges. Hearing Hashiba Hikaru talk about the phone call incident made her think of many things.

"So, does Classmate Hashiba suspect that the [White Room] has already started targeting this school?"

Sakayanagi Arisu took a sip of black tea, her expression serious.

"Yes, although we didn't hear the specific content of the call, we can guess from the Chairman's tone that the conversation was definitely not pleasant, and perhaps something bad happened."

Hashiba Hikaru pondered, "Didn't Classmate Sakayanagi say that the person in charge behind the [White Room] has a lot of power? If they really want to interfere in the school's management, isn't that possible?"

"... If that were really the case, I think it's possible."

Sakayanagi Arisu thought of a man, Ayanokoji's Father, Ayanokoji Atsuomi, who was also someone the girl's father had followed. As someone who valued power more than life itself, it wouldn't be surprising if he did anything.

"If the other party really wants to interfere in the school's daily affairs, what do Classmate Sakayanagi think they will do?"

Hashiba Hikaru recalled the school's slogan, "If government officials really get involved, even the Chairman probably can't do anything about it."

"Yes, that's the question I asked you last time. If they really do use the Chairman the board as a breakthrough point, they might plant people in this school."

After considering this possibility, Sakayanagi Arisu's delicate face turned quite stern.

"It seems we need to have a serious discussion about this, don't you think?"

When Hashiba Hikaru saw Sakayanagi Arisu's expression, a smile actually appeared on her lips.

"That's right. The first step is to gather intelligence, and I'll take care of that."

Sakayanagi Arisu, a smile also appearing on her face. Although she also enjoyed working alone, gazing at the boy before her, having this unique partner gave the girl a sense of security she had never felt before.

She didn't dislike the feeling.

Chapter 468 Ichinose Honami is curious about her boyfriend's life.

After reaching a preliminary consensus with Sakayanagi Arisu, Hashiba Hikaru decided to wait for the other party to obtain information before considering the plan, because he guessed that the girl was the Chairman's daughter and understood that it would be more effective for her to obtain this information.

Moreover, this matter can be shared with another person, since that person is a very important pawn. After reaching an agreement, the young man hasn't officially assigned them any tasks yet, which would be a waste.

After texting her to arrange to meet the next day, Hashiba Hikaru returned to his dorm. As soon as he walked in, he saw his girlfriend cooking at the stove, a satisfied smile on her face.

"Hikari, you're back!"

"Yes, I'm back."

Hashiba Hikaru's face showed the expression of a husband who had just returned home after a busy day. He moved closer to his girlfriend, but could no longer smell the aroma of the food.

What did you make today?

He leaned his head behind Ichinose Honami, a very pleased smile on his face.

Feeling the familiar masculine presence surrounding her, the girl also smiled gently.

She's no longer shy about physical intimacy with her boyfriend; after all, they've done it all, and she just feels warm and cozy.

"It's risotto! Don't you like this? I added some new seasonings."

Ichinose Honami stirred the food in the pan; she had bought a lot of new ingredients for Hashiba Hikaru's dorm today because the store was having a sale.

"Mmm, then we're in for a treat today."

Hashiba Hikaru didn't hold back her praise, "Honami is such a lucky guy to have such a girlfriend!"

"Hehe, just knowing is good enough, you have to cherish me!"

The girl leaned back, pressing her body tightly against Hashiba Hikaru's chest, feeling his warmth, and felt a deep sense of contentment.

"Is there only something going on tomorrow?"

"Well, besides Student Council matters, I also need to meet with two people and take care of some other arrangements."

Hashiba Hikaru embraced his girlfriend's voluptuous body and explained tomorrow's schedule.

Is it something very important?

Ichinose Honami immediately pressed for more information.

"Yes, it's something related to the future of our class, so it's quite important."

"Can I come with you?"

The pink-haired girl suddenly raised her head and stared straight into Hashiba Hikaru's eyes.

"Um..."

Hashiba Hikaru pondered for a moment. The people he planned to meet tomorrow were Sakayanagi Arisu and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. The matter to be discussed was quite important, but it wouldn't matter if Ichinose Honami knew.

There's no need to worry about confidentiality; the other party isn't a blabbermouth. But arranging for the two stock market figures to meet... that shouldn't cause any problems, right?

"Alright then, but I need to make it clear to Honami beforehand, because what we're going to discuss is very important, and you must promise that you absolutely won't leak it out."

Hashiba Hikaru gazed at his girlfriend's face and said, slowly and deliberately, "Can you do it?"

"Sure, I promise I won't leak it,"

Ichinose Honami hugged Hashiba Hikaru around the waist and replied earnestly, "How about I go with Hikari tomorrow, but I won't say anything, okay?"

"Won't this be too unfair to you?"

"No, I'm very interested in what light does. Let me be an Akito observer and take a look."

Ichinose Honami's face. She had never actively interfered in Hashiba Hikaru's daily affairs before, but now that she had a new idea, she had to hold on to it.

"Alright then, let's go together."

The next day, Saturday, is approaching. Hashiba Hikaru is preparing to meet with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka Sakayanagi Arisu.

After glancing at his girlfriend, who was still fast asleep beside him, the boy got up for a morning run. When he returned to the dormitory covered in sweat, she was already up and standing in front of the mirror, drying her hair.

Good morning, Hikari.

Ichinose Honami exuded a languid and intoxicating aura. The girl had gone to bed quite late the night before, but because she had fallen asleep in her boyfriend's arms, she had a very good quality sleep.

"Good morning, Honami. Let's have breakfast together after I take a shower."

"Uh-huh."

After breakfast, Hashiba Hikaru took his girlfriend's hand and they went to the agreed place—the same club room that Sakayanagi Arisu had applied for. It was a quiet place, perfect for discussing private matters.

"Here it is..."

As she approached the door of the Club Room, Ichinose Honami wanted to ask a question, but remembering her promise to her boyfriend from the previous day, she ultimately decided against it.

"It's a very suitable place. When we go inside, Honami, don't talk, okay?"

"I know."

Ichinose Honami gripped her boyfriend's hand tightly, pressed herself against his shoulder, and pushed open the door.

Since this is where Sakayanagi Arisu, the furnishings are quite exquisite. There are not only cabinets displaying tea leaves, but also many tea sets. Today, Kamuro Masumi did not come. The silver-haired girl sat upright in her seat, her pretty face bathed in the morning light, which looked incredibly gentle.

"Good morning, Classmate Sakayanagi."

Hashiba Hikaru greeted him with a smile.

"Yes, Classmate Hashiba, you've arrived."

Sakayanagi Arisu looked up, but when she saw the pink-haired girl clinging tightly to Hashiba Hikaru, a smile crept onto her lips. "We're supposed to be discussing something important today, so why bring someone else along?"

"Honami is the person I trust most; she won't reveal anything."

Hashiba Hikaru squeezed her girlfriend's hand to give her more courage, "Besides, she won't say a word in this conversation, so please don't worry, Classmate Sakayanagi."

"I see."

Sakayanagi Arisu delicate chin. Although she seemed to accept it on the surface, a sense of unease still welled up inside the silver-haired girl.

Please take a seat.

Hashiba Hikaru led Ichinose Honami to his original seat, then got up to make tea.

What would you like to drink today?

Knowing he still had to wait for someone, the boy asked.

"Let's drink the one on the far left. I believe this flavor is perfect for entertaining guests."

Sakayanagi Arisu speaks with practiced ease. Because of her physical limitations, when Kamuro Masumi is not around, Hashiba Hikaru would take over the task of making tea, since it wasn't a hassle.

"Hehe, Classmate Sakayanagi really likes this flavor."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled slightly. He reached out and took four cups from the tea set. Watching his man skillfully begin to brew tea, Ichinose Honami, who had remained silent, couldn't help but clench her small fists.

It's clear that the other person has been here for a long time.

This was something the girl had never known.

"The tea is ready. I reckon Ayanokoji should be here soon."

Hashiba Hikaru placed the four cups of tea on the table. Since it was a square table, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had two more options for which cups to place.

He's already here.

Sakayanagi Arisu picked up her teacup and took a sip; footsteps could already be heard outside the door.

"That's really true."

Hashiba Hikaru handed the teacup to his girlfriend and said softly, "Today's discussion is about to begin, I'm really looking forward to it."

Hopefully, there will be a satisfactory result.

Ignoring the slightly chilly gaze Ichinose cast upon her, Sakayanagi Arisu smiled even more captivatingly.
