Kiryuin Fuka: Wipe My Feet / Kiryuin Fuka: Actually, I'm Really Happy

Someone asked a question next to Miyabi Nagumo.

However, at this moment, the blond man suddenly seemed to realize something, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips. "If it really is Mitsuki, they might not be able to handle him."

"After all, that guy has completely different ideas; Private Points alone aren't enough."

"Why?"

His henchmen were completely bewildered.

"I'm quite certain he won't join that guy Hashiba's camp."

Miyabi Nagumo made her judgment on this.

"So what should we do now?"

Miyabi Nagumo recalled what Kozuki Kaede had once told him, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. His gaze swept over the followers in the room, and his tone turned serious. "Since they've all made their move, then we should also take action. Anyone can poach talent."

"Did everyone understand?"

Let's start tonight!

"Clear."

Chapter 497 Kiryuuin Fuuka: Wipe my feet.

Inside Kozuki Kaede's dormitory, Hashiba Hikaru and Horikita Manabu sat opposite each other, gazing at each other's calm faces.

"After hearing my conditions, what are your thoughts now, Senior Mitsuki?"

Hashiba Hikaru smiled gently. Although the other person tried his best to maintain a calm demeanor, the occasional small gesture of stroking his neck had already revealed his true emotions.

"Why me? Is Vice President Hashiba so certain that I'll join your side?"

Kozuki Kaede, a fairly good-looking Second Year boy, glanced at Horikita Manabu, who was sitting silently next to Hashiba Hikaru. "Could he be planning to bribe me?"

"Mitsuki understanding is acceptable, Senior. You are an Akito and should be able to guess my purpose. As long as you can help me in this process, you will definitely reap an equal reward, or even more, in the end."

"I don't lack Private Points."

Kozuki Kaede shook his head, scrutinizing Hashiba Hikaru's handsome face, his tone carrying a strange hostility, "Could it be that Vice President Hashiba is planning to buy people's hearts with money? Such a method is far too simplistic."

Of course not.

Hashiba Hikaru keenly sensed the other party's displeasure, but logically speaking, his expression shouldn't have offended the other party at all. After all, he had interacted with Kozuki Kaede several times back in school, so it was unlikely that he couldn't say something like that.

"Private Points are just my way of expressing my sincerity. If Mitsuki have your own conditions, please feel free to name them. If I can do it, I will definitely agree."

Hashiba Hikaru gave a serious reply, "After all, I already said it last time at school: Nagumo is not a qualified Student Council President. Why can't we look forward?"

"No need."

As Hashiba Hikaru patiently offered her advice, a surge of anger seemed to rise between Kozuki Kaede's brows, leaving the boy even more bewildered.

"Senior Mitsuki, would you like to reconsider? This is a win-win situation for both of us, and I hope you understand my good intentions."

"I think I've made myself clear. I'm going to wash the teacups. Please go back. I will not agree to defect."

Kozuki Kaede stood up, seemingly not intending to continue the conversation, and Horikita Manabu followed suit.

The former Student Council President remained silent throughout, having already delegated the authority to handle the matter to the boy, wanting to see how the other side would resolve it.

"Alright then, we'll be going now. If Mitsuki change your mind, you can always contact me."

Hashiba Hikaru knew the other person didn't want to talk anymore. He glanced at the time on the wall and felt that the time was about right, so he readily walked out of the dormitory with Horikita Manabu.

"It seems that Hashiba- kun is going to use a backup plan. Mitsuki- san's attitude is already very clear."

Horikita Manabu recalled the change in Kozuki Kaede's expression just now. His observation skills were equally strong, and he understood that there were other Matoba factors behind the other party's refusal.

"I guess so, but I already thought of that, and besides, Senior Mitsuki isn't the real target."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled slightly. Since Kozuki Kaede was quite famous among the Second Year students, he had only come here to attract Miyabi Nagumo's attention.

"So, who is your backup plan for?"

"Of course it's Miyabi Nagumo. Winning people over is ultimately an external force; the best way to dismantle a group is to break through from within."

"Then I'll wait and see."

Horikita Manabu realized that Hashiba Hikaru's real plan was his contingency plan, and everything before was just a smokescreen.

"That's good. I'll go take care of something else now. Goodbye, Horikita-senpai."

"Um."

Horikita Manabu stood there for a while, and after the boy's figure disappeared from sight, Miyabi Nagumo emerged from the stairwell next to him.

"Horikita Manabu, what a coincidence, you're here too?"

"Yes, I'm here to take care of something."

The blond man looked at Horikita Manabu's calm face. He had just spoken with Kozuki Kaede and learned that the two of them had run into trouble, so he was quite pleased with himself.

"Did things go smoothly? If you need any help, please don't hesitate to let me know, Horikita Manabu, I'll be happy to assist."

"No need, I have things to take care of, I'll be going now."

Horikita Manabu had no interest in continuing his chat with Miyabi Nagumo, and calmly took his leave. Miyabi Nagumo, realizing she had been rebuffed, immediately darkened her expression.

"Hmph, let me see who the final victor is!"

On the other side, after parting ways with Horikita Manabu, Hashiba Hikaru went to the woods next to the girls' school building. This time, the person he was going to meet was naturally the Silver-haired Senior from the Second Year.

This morning, he happened to run into her during his morning run. At that time, Kiryuuin Fuuka handed the boy a note. Although he didn't quite understand why she appeared at that time, Hashiba Hikaru didn't refuse.

Now it comes in handy.

After walking for a few minutes, beside the stone path flowing over the stream, Hashiba Hikaru saw the tall, Silver-haired Senior.

"Good afternoon, senior."

He took the initiative to go up and greet them.

"Hey, Hashiba- kun, looks like I was right, Mitsuki really did reject you?"

Even though it's winter, Kiryuuin Fuuka took off her shoes and stood barefoot in the stream, seemingly not cold at all.

"Yes, senior is truly insightful. It seems there are things about this Mitsuki- senpai that I don't know."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled slightly, "Can you answer my question, senior?"

"Sure, but you have to do something for me first."

A smile appeared on Kiryuin's face. She kicked her smooth, fair little feet in the stream, splashing water to both sides.

"What's up?"

"Come and help me wipe my feet."

Kiryuuin Fuuka suddenly sat down on the grass next to her, naturally raising her two beautifully curved legs and pointing her small feet at Hashiba Hikaru beside her.

"?"

Hashiba Hikaru was taken aback. He didn't quite understand what this senior was planning to do, but then he thought that he wouldn't be at a disadvantage in this matter. If she could help, this was a small problem.

"... good."

"The towel is over there, come over quickly."

Kiryuin still had her legs raised. Because of years of exercise, her legs weren't the slender type; instead, they had a strong, muscular beauty, and her fair skin and curves exuded a unique charm.

"Um."

Hashiba Hikaru nodded, picked up the towel beside him, and sat down next to Kiryuuin Fuuka to wipe her water-dampened feet.

The boy remained expressionless throughout the entire process.

"Honestly, Junior Hashiba is so heartless. I've helped you so many times, why do you still have that kind of expression?"

Kiryuuin Fuuka suddenly leaned closer, staring at the boy's handsome profile, and said with a grin, "Can you smile?"

"..."

"Unwilling?"

She raised an eyebrow.

"... All right."

Hashiba Hikaru could only force a smile, and seeing him compromise, Kiryuuin Fuuka's smile became even brighter.

"Only obedient children get candy, understand?"

"Um."

Chapter 498 Kiryuuin Fuuka: Actually, I'm very happy.

After the not-at-all-ambiguous foot-wiping session, Hashiba Hikaru watched as Kiryuuin Fuuka straightened her gym clothes and then stood up straight.

"Alright, I've finished my business. Now, please keep your promise, senior."

Hashiba Hikaru looked gently at the silver-haired Second Year student; her actions were truly unpredictable.

"Alright, I'll tell you then."

Kiryuuin Fuuka stroked her beautiful long silver hair, a rather amused smile playing on her lips. "Do you know why Mitsuki would absolutely never agree to join your side?"

"Why?"

Hashiba Hikaru looked at him, her expression revealing a strong desire to know the truth.

"Because he once confessed his feelings to me."

"???"

Upon hearing this, the boy's expression froze instantly, and it took him a while to recover.

"Wait, what was the final result? Did Kiryuin reject him?"

"Yes, of course I refused. That guy is incredibly boring, nowhere near as interesting as you, Hashiba."

Kiryuin smiled alluringly, gazing at Hashiba Hikaru with her complex expression, and asked in return, "Now do you know why he rejected you?"

"But... this shouldn't have anything to do with me, right? My senior and I..."

Hashiba Hikaru thought about it. He hadn't bought any shares of Kiryuuin Fuuka at all; the stock price was still 20. Besides, he didn't see her often, so it was highly unlikely that she would be mistaken for a "love rival."

"Well, actually, the reason he dislikes you isn't because of me right now, because our phones have all been taken away."

Kiryuuin Fuuka chuckled, clearly in a good mood.

"A cell phone? Is there something on your senior's cell phone?"

Hashiba Hikaru was quite concerned, as this was beyond his expectations, and the boy was eager to know why.

"Because my phone wallpaper is of you, Hashiba- senpai, it was taken during the Sports Festival."

Kiryuuin Fuuka's answer stunned Hashiba Hikaru once again. He rubbed his temples, completely bewildered as to why such a thing could happen.

"You don't believe me?"

The silver-haired girl looked directly into his eyes.

"Of course not, I just... I just..."

Hashiba Hikaru met Kiryuuin Fuuka's gaze and asked hesitantly, "Why did you use my picture as your wallpaper, Senpai?"

"Because I'm very interested in you. Didn't I say that a long time ago?"

"It's that simple?"

"Yeah, does Hashiba think I have some other ideas?"

The delicate-featured silver-haired girl brought her face close to Hashiba Hikaru's, "I'm just interested now, but maybe I'll change my mind later."

"Hmm... alright then, it's your prerogative to think whatever you want, senior. Let's get down to business."

Facing the beautiful face of Kiryuuin Fuuka so close to him, Hashiba Hikaru didn't show any nervousness. After all, he was used to being so close to pretty girls.
