Officially Acquiring Kiryuin Fuka's Stock / Ichinose Honami Doesn't Want Her Boyfriend to Worry

"Really, fine then."

Seeing Hashiba Hikaru's expression remain unchanged, a certain emotion welled up in Kiryuuin Fuuka's heart once again.

After initially developing an interest in Hashiba Hikaru, the silver-haired girl always thought that these feelings would soon disappear. However, as she spent more time with the boy, she was surprised to find that these thoughts lingered in her mind.

Not only did she gradually become fuller, but she was also prompted to make many new decisions.

Everyone at this school is so boring, but Hashiba Hikaru is an exception.

I remember during the third-year Relay Race at the Sports Festival, when I watched the boy sprinting on the track overtake his opponents and win the championship, I found my heart was beating very fast.

This was the first time Kiryuuin Fuuka had experienced such emotions. After that, she would deliberately make some intimate gestures to get closer to him. Although it was the first time she had done these things, the girl found them very interesting.

It was a wonderful relationship, and the silver-haired girl found it very pleasant.

However, having maintained such a close distance and finding that Hashiba Hikaru hadn't acted inappropriately, Kiryuin even began to doubt his own charm.

Am I not attractive to him at all?

No, it should be said that it's almost done.

"What's wrong? Senior, are you even listening to me?"

Hashiba Hikaru looked at Kiryuuin Fuuka, whose expression was somewhat solemn, and asked gently.

"I'm listening."

Her voice suddenly rose several octaves in response.

"Oh, okay then. After my senior told me the truth about this, I finally understand. But anyway, he wasn't the initial target, so it's fine as a smokescreen."

Hashiba Hikaru thought for a moment. Anyway, Kanzaki Ryuji would probably take action today. He was going to meet Second Year was genuinely interested, and that person happened to be one of Nagumo's group members.

"I think we can still make use of Mitsuki's side."

At this point Kiryuuin Fuuka offered a new suggestion.

"Huh, why?"

Hashiba Hikaru was somewhat surprised. If Mitsuki really considered her a "love rival," then no amount of persuasion would be of any use.

"Since that guy is so loyal to Miyabi Nagumo, why not try to break up their relationship? After all, men are simple creatures."

The silver-haired girl came up with a very simple plan that, if successful, would definitely make Mitsuki angry at Nagumo.

"Wait, is the senior planning to use her beauty to seduce someone?"

Hashiba Hikaru immediately understood his thoughts.

"When dealing with enemies, any method is fine, as long as the objective is achieved."

Kiryuuin Fuuka noticed that Hashiba Hikaru's expression had suddenly turned serious. She seemed to understand something, and her heart skipped a beat.

"No, I don't agree with this approach. After all, this is my plan, and involving my senior in this is unreasonable!"

The boy's tone was righteous and resolute. "Please understand, senior, I will absolutely not agree to this plan!"

Seeing the other person's expression, Kiryuuin Fuuka chuckled, a captivating look spreading across her face.

"Uh... what's wrong?"

Hashiba Hikaru scratched her head, not realizing what was so funny about what she had said.

"Could it be that Hashiba is developing a possessive desire for me?"

She leaned closer again, and the pleasant fragrance instantly filled Hashiba Hikaru's nostrils.

"Of course not, I just..."

After being exposed, Hashiba Hikaru felt extremely embarrassed and quickly explained, "I just felt that I shouldn't involve my senior, which is the most normal thought, right?"

"Haha, actually I don't dislike this kind of situation."

Kiryuuin Fuuka wore a perfect smile. "Seeing Hashiba- senpai make that face actually makes me very happy."

"Whatever makes you happy..."

"Then let's discuss a new plan. After all, if Classmate Hashiba doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do."

"Good."

Chapter 499 Officially Acquires the Kiryuuin Fuuka Stock.

Beside a stream swept by a cool breeze, Hashiba Hikaru stood beside Kiryuuin Fuuka. The two were discussing a new plan. After all, Miyabi Nagumo's operation had already begun, and in order to achieve their goal, they had to prepare a countermeasure.

"Who is Hashiba's real target?"

The silver-haired girl raised an eyebrow slightly and inquired about Hashiba Hikaru's original backup plan.

"It's another Second Year student in Nagumo's group; his name is Yamada Toru."

Hashiba Hikaru recalled her previous interactions with him back in school. He was also a Student Council member and held an important position in a large club.

"Oh, I remember now, you're from Class 2-A, right?"

Although Kiryuuin Fuuka is somewhat detached from the student body, it doesn't mean she doesn't know people; she remembers quite a few famous students.

"Yes, I've been in contact with him before. He's someone Miyabi Nagumo recruited through promises. This is the real area where we can make a breakthrough."

When Hashiba Hikaru said these words, she was actually thinking about something else: the stock situation of Kiryuuin Fuuka.

Logically speaking, he and the other person were already quite familiar with each other, and considering the girl's attitude just now... a new thought began to form in the boy's mind.

If you're looking to invest in stocks, she might be a good option.

However, before making a formal purchase, the boy first bought a [Stock Detector] in the [Trading Shop] to see what the other party's stock situation was like.

[Should I use the Stock Detector on Kiryuuin Fuuka?]

[Successfully installed. Stock information is as follows.]

[Kiryuuin Fuuka]

[Stock Information: A tall, white-haired girl possesses terrifying strength in both academics and Physical Ability. She has no friends or enemies, doesn't participate in class competitions, and seems uninterested in many things. She longs to find someone interesting.]

[Stock price increase suggestion: Build a relationship of trust, arouse her interest and curiosity, and motivate her to be more proactive in school life.]

[Lowering stock price risk: Making rash decisions, displaying an attitude of blending into the crowd, and forcing her to do things she doesn't want to do.]

"Just as I thought."

After memorizing all this information, Hashiba Hikaru made her decision.

Anyway, Kiryuuin Fuuka is only Second Year, so there's plenty of time for them to spend together. She's quite outstanding among Second Year students, so it's a great choice no matter how you look at it.

After thinking it through, Hashiba Hikaru quickly navigated the Stock Page.

Should I buy Kiryuuin Fuuka Stock?

[Current Price: 20]

[Available quantity: 4000]

[Purchase successful. Kiryuuin Fuuka Stock sold out, costing 80,000.]

[Remaining Funds: 18600]

After completing the operation, Hashiba Hikaru immediately saw several prompts pop up in the upper right corner of the System Bar. However, just as he was about to click on them, the silver-haired girl next to him spoke up.

"What do you think I should do, Hashiba Yujima?"

Kiryuuin Fuuka smiled as she looked at Hashiba Hikaru, "Since you already have an idea, it's never a bad thing to find more breakthroughs."

"Yes, if you have time, you can actually do something else."

Hashiba Hikaru recalled Asahina Nazuna, with whom she had previously collaborated. Nagisa seemed to be Miyabi Nagumo's childhood friend. After the betrayal incident, she heard that Nagisa still maintained a good relationship with that blond guy.

"Kiryuin should know Asahina, right?"

"Of course I know him."

"Don't you think she's a great direction for a breakthrough?"

Hashiba Hikaru smiled. "Although I'm not entirely sure what her relationship with Nagumo is, I feel she holds a unique significance for Miyabi Nagumo."

"Indeed, and she happened to be in the same group as me in this exam."

Looking at the serious-looking boy, Kiryuuin Fuuka said with a hint of amusement, "What do you plan to do?"

"It's simple. I can only make breakthroughs with boys, while you can make breakthroughs with girls that Miyabi Nagumo can control."

Hashiba Hikaru snapped her fingers. "I heard he's quite popular with girls in his Second Year. If we could cause him some trouble, that would be even better."

"Understood."

The silver-haired girl nodded, looking at Hashiba Hikaru's face as if she understood something. "You didn't expect this all along, did you?"

"If I had a cell phone, I might have talked to Asahina beforehand, because I haven't finished what I promised her, and I need to keep working harder."

"What you promised her?"

Kiryuin raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze somewhat unfriendly.

"What I promised her was to win over Miyabi Nagumo, please don't misunderstand, senior."

"Hehehe, if that's the case, it's quite interesting. As the girl who's closest to Miyabi Nagumo, is this what she thinks?"

Kiryuuin Fuuka thought about her previous conversation with Asahina and suddenly felt that many things could be connected.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, senior. Let's split up and contact each other if anything comes up."

"I see."

After finishing their conversation with Kiryuuin Fuuka, the two parted ways by the stream and headed towards their respective school buildings.

Walking along the forest path, Hashiba Hikaru finally had some time. He clicked on the system notifications that popped up after he bought Kiryuuin Fuuka Stock; there were three in total.

[Kiryuuin Fuuka finds you interesting; she feels you're someone she can continue to get to know. Kiryuin stock price rose 20, current price 40.]

[Kiryuuin Fuuka saw you racing on the track, and an unprecedented emotion welled up inside her. Kiryuuin Fuuka Stock price rose 30, currently standing at 70.]

[Kiryuin feels very comfortable working with you and wants to continue being close to you. Kiryuuin Fuuka Stock price has risen by 30, currently at 100.]

"..."

Does that mean the previous ones can be included too?

I feel like there are still many new features in this system that I haven't experienced yet.

That's incredible.

Seeing the stock price suddenly jump to 100, Hashiba Hikaru stroked her chin.

Including the Kiryuuin Fuuka Stock he just bought today, he currently holds a total of seven stocks, each priced at 100 or more. If he were to sell them, it would amount to a terrifying sum of money.

He glanced at the [Trading Shop] again.

Aside from the [Ring of Vows] and [Investment and Wealth Management Master] purchased in early January, there are no other special items, so there's no need for the young man to sell stocks to obtain funds for the time being.

"In short, everything is getting better and better!"

After stretching, Hashiba Hikaru walked to the bottom of the boys' dormitory. A girl was already waiting for her not far away.

It was his official girlfriend, Ichinose Honami.

Chapter 500: Ichinose Honami didn't want her boyfriend to worry.

As she approached, Ichinose Honami instantly spotted her boyfriend, and a bright smile immediately appeared on her delicate face.

"Light!"

"Hmm, good afternoon, Honami."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled and responded to his girlfriend's greeting. He glanced around, knowing that since this afternoon and tomorrow were both rest days, teachers wouldn't be monitoring student movement during this time.

"What did Guang just go about?"

Ichinose Honami took her boyfriend's arm and asked with a smile.
