Ichinose Honami's Secret Operation.

January is drawing to a close, and the shortest Third Semester is almost halfway over. In addition to studying hard, students are looking forward to the next month.

Next month is February, and February has a holiday that everyone cares about a lot - Valentine's Day.

Schools do not prohibit interactions between opposite sexes, and many couples want to take this opportunity to celebrate. Although teenage love is hazy, it is full of a sweetness that is no longer present in adulthood.

On the day the clarification meeting ended, Hashiba Hikaru still hadn't decided when to go to Horikita Suzune's dorm. Although she had been there once before, she felt that if she went again this time, given the changed relationship, something might happen.

Regardless, time management still needs to be maintained. More and more girls are now getting involved with teenagers, and in order to be considerate of everyone's feelings, we must take into account their feelings.

What is Guang thinking about?

It's the weekend, Hashiba Hikaru is communicating with students in the Student Council officer group on his phone while thinking about how to manage his time, as many girls need his company.

"Thinking about Student Council matters, Honami, are you going out to play today?"

Hashiba Hikaru opened a private chat window with a Student Council member, her movements practiced and practiced. "I'll probably go to the Student Council after lunch."

"Hmm, it seems like we're almost out of food in the fridge. I'll go shopping with Ando and the others then."

The pink-haired girl, wearing an apron, prepared to cook. She glanced at the refrigerator's contents and spoke in a playful tone.

"Okay, Honami, you can arrange it yourself. There's been a lot of things piling up these past few days, so I might be back late."

Since the Clarification Assembly that day, his girlfriend has been staying here every night for the past week. While this is understandable, it has made it impossible for Hashiba Hikaru to interact with other girls. He has already sent several text messages to complain about it.

"Hmm, if Hikaru doesn't come back, I'll go and hold Girls' Gathering."

Ichinose Honami probably connected the dots; she understood the deeper meaning behind her boyfriend's words—he was probably going to see other girls.

Certain thoughts resurfaced uncontrollably in the pink-haired girl's mind. She gazed at her boyfriend's serious profile, longing to do something.

"Can."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled slightly and continued communicating with the Student Council members. Miyabi Nagumo's plan to impeach him had already been leaked, and it would likely be a tough battle.

"Is Hikaru's school uniform not ironed properly? Let me see."

As if talking to herself, Ichinose Honami quickly found her boyfriend's most frequently worn winter school uniform in the closet. She was the one who usually packed it up every day, and Hashiba Hikaru didn't even glance at her.

"..."

Ichinose Honami pressed the collar and sleeves of the garment with an iron, keeping an eye on Hashiba Hikaru out of the corner of her eye. She then took a tiny black device from her pocket and placed it in the inner pocket of the garment. The pink-haired girl knew very well that her boyfriend never used this pocket, so there was no problem.

"Hikaru, I've ironed your clothes. You can wear them to the Student Council later."

"Okay, Honami."

Without even looking up, Hashiba Hikaru continued organizing the intelligence he had gathered, knowing that this information would prove invaluable when he faced Miyabi Nagumo in battle.

On the floor where the Student Council was located, just as Hashiba Hikaru was walking up the stairs, he was immediately pulled into the stairwell by a small hand. The warm breath of the person on his face made the boy know who it was without even looking.

The short-haired girl squeezed Hashiba Hikaru into the gap in the stairwell, and seeing the helpless look on her face, a sweet smile appeared on her lips.

"Kikyo?"

"You think you can guess it's me without even looking at me?"

Kushida Kikyo leaned her face closer, her beautiful eyes gleaming with joy.

"The flavor of Kikyo is very distinctive; I recognized it as soon as you reached out your hand."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled gently, gazing at the girl before her. Her delicate and pretty face looked rosy and she seemed to be in good health.

"Hmph, you claim you're not a pervert? You think you can tell a girl's gender just by her scent?"

Kushida Kikyo nestled her delicate body into the other's arms, wrapping her arms around the boy's waist.

"Yes, the Kikyo seems to be maturing more and more lately, and it smells wonderful."

Hashiba Hikaru reached out and stroked her small face, her tone very gentle.

Really?

The short-haired girl felt her man's touch, and a faint blush rose on her face.

"Of course, this should be my credit, right?"

"But Guang hasn't come to see me all week, it's really lonely."

Kushida Kikyo couldn't help but start complaining. She thought the other party would come to find her soon after the Clarification Assembly ended, but she didn't expect that Hashiba Hikaru would spend a whole week with Ichinose Honami.

"Because I have to take Honami's feelings into consideration during this period. The aftermath of the rumors has only just ended, so that's why I came."

Hashiba Hikaru explained gently, "Since I promised to compensate Kikyo, I naturally won't go back on my word."

"That's more like it. I really envy Honami. She can enjoy the gentle light without having to work hard, while we Stealthy Cat have to wait in line."

Kushida Kikyo buried her head in Hashiba Hikaru's chest, not wanting the other to see her expression.

"?"

Hashiba Hikaru lowered her voice considerably and asked with some concern, "I don't quite understand what you just said."

"Hmph! Besides me and Airi, you must have other girlfriends, right?"

Although Kushida Kikyo only knew about Sakura Airi and her girlfriend Ichinose Honami, her woman's intuition told her that Hashiba Hikaru must still be entangled with other girls.

"Who else? I don't know anyone."

"If I'm not mistaken, that woman Horikita is one too, right?"

Kushida Kikyo recalled her recent discoveries, "There's one more person..."

"Who else?"

"Sakayanagi, you and she must have a close relationship, right?"

"Classmate Sakayanagi and I are just business partners; you're making baseless accusations."

Hashiba Hikaru shook her head.

"Even if Sakayanagi isn't, I feel it won't be long before she is."

The short-haired girl had great confidence in her man. As the only person in the school who caught her eye, Hashiba Hikaru was just how attractive she was to girls, Kushida Kikyo knew very well.

"Perhaps. Let's go to the Student Council first, and then we can talk about what happened before."

Hashiba Hikaru patted her back, signaling Kushida to let go of her first.

"Well, anyway, my compensation has to be paid by February, otherwise it doesn't count!"

Yes, yes, yes.

Chapter 536 Ichinose Honami's Secret Operation.

The Student Council activities proceeded as usual that day, but many people knew that the power struggle between Hashiba Hikaru Miyabi Nagumo had reached a fever pitch.

Whether it's Student Council officers or leaders of many clubs, they are all well aware of this: once impeachment is initiated, there is no turning back, and a final winner will inevitably be determined.

"Classmate Sakayanagi, can we end this handshake session now?"

Before leaving the Student Council office, Hashiba Hikaru and Sakayanagi Arisu held hands in the corridor, and after more than ten seconds, he said those words.

"Miyabi Nagumo has been frantically trying to win over other members of the Student Council lately, making many promises and using a lot of her Private Points. Aren't you worried, Classmate Hashiba?"

Sakayanagi Arisu her small hand. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Kushida Kikyo standing behind Hashiba Hikaru, but the short-haired girl said nothing and didn't look over.

"There's nothing to worry about. We'll deal with whatever comes our way; there's always a solution."

Hashiba Hikaru shook her head slightly, seemingly unconcerned.

"That's good. I'll be going now. Goodbye, Classmate Hashiba."

"Goodbye Classmate Sakayanagi."

After the silver-haired girl left with her cane, Kushida Kikyo slowly walked to Hashiba Hikaru's side. She glanced at Sakayanagi Arisu back and said with some displeasure.

"Sakayanagi really just a business partner to you?"

"Yes, didn't I just explain it to you?"

Hashiba Hikaru shrugged, indicating that you guessed correctly.

"Then why do you hold hands every day?"

Having witnessed the entire scene, Kushida Kikyo recalled what she had seen yesterday and asked quietly, "Partnerships are usually based on the exchange of interests, so why is there this other option?"

"Hmm... the reason for this is indeed quite complicated."

"Stop trying to dodge the question, explain yourself clearly!"

Kushida Kikyo persisted, seemingly determined to know the truth before giving up, but Hashiba Hikaru didn't answer and walked straight outside, with the short-haired girl naturally following immediately.

"I'll tell you next time. Don't you have something else to say? Let's go back now."

"You!"

The two of them pushed and shoved each other as they walked out of the teaching building. It was not yet six o'clock. Hashiba Hikaru Kushida Kikyo how to make amends to her. Tomorrow was Sunday, and she could easily spend the whole day with her, but Ichinose Honami had been keeping a close eye on her lately, which made things difficult.

"Have you thought of a reason, Light?"

In Kushida Kikyo's dormitory room, the short-haired girl nestled in Hashiba Hikaru's arms, resting her head on her shoulder as she watched the boy browsing the forum.

"Still thinking about it."

"Then hurry up and think of something. Tomorrow would be a perfect time. It would be great if you could just come and spend time with me."

Kushida Kikyo squirmed softly in Hashiba Hikaru's arms, and even slipped her little hands inside his collar.

"Tomorrow?"

Hashiba Hikaru was taken aback at first, but a mischievous smile quickly spread across his face. Looking at the girl's face, his tone became playful, "Because tomorrow is a [Good Time], right?"

"Yes, if you come to keep me company tomorrow, I'll do whatever you want."

Kushida Kikyo naturally understood the teasing meaning on her man's face, but she wasn't shy at all, after all, this was what every girl longed for most.

"Really, let me think about it some more."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled slightly and continued to think about how to explain to Ichinose Honami that she couldn't go back to the dormitory all day tomorrow.

"Or just say you have something to do and won't be home until late."

Kushida Kikyo offered a suggestion, "Don't the girls in Class A like to have Girls' Gathering? Let them find Honami."

"This is already a very common excuse, and Ando and the others have been spending a lot of time with Honami lately, so we can't trouble them any further."

Hashiba Hikaru thought for a moment and realized she needed to find a more suitable reason. Since the rumor incident, Ichinose Honami's ideas had changed a lot, and to avoid problems, she had to be more considerate of the other party's feelings.

Have you thought it through?

Kushida Kikyo just wants the boy to come up with this idea quickly so that she and Hashiba Hikaru can enjoy their romantic day together tomorrow.

"More or less..."

Hashiba Hikaru paused for a moment. If possible, he could directly use Miyabi Nagumo as a reason. After all, the impeachment case was really urgent, and it would be understandable for Ichinose Honami to stay outside to handle matters.

"Then let's do it this way. I'll go prepare my clothes for tomorrow."

After receiving confirmation, Kushida Kikyo excitedly got up from Hashiba Hikaru and flew like a butterfly to her wardrobe, which was filled with many "interesting" clothes.

"Tomorrow's clothes?"

Hashiba Hikaru couldn't help but feel curious, but when she walked up to the other person's wardrobe, the boy was immediately startled.

While it's normal for girls to have a lot of clothes, Kushida Kikyo's wardrobe has a slightly unusual style.

Besides the ordinary school uniforms and casual clothes, what's even more intriguing is the vertical cabinet below, which is filled with daring garments that evoke vivid images just by their appearance. The use of elements such as lace and cutouts makes the boy subconsciously think of Kushida Kikyo's snow-white skin.

"This..."

The boy's throat bobbed, a sight that naturally did not escape Kushida's notice.

"Hehehe, I've prepared all of this. If you come early tomorrow, you can enjoy it sooner."

"You win."

"Good to know. Remember to talk to Honami about it tonight."

"Um."
