Chapter 547 Hasebe Haruka Has Something to Say
After completing all the stock transactions, Hashiba Hikaru acquired all the goods she wanted.
[Should I purchase the Foresight Moment?]
Purchase successful!
[Purchase past item vouchers?]
Purchase successful!
[Remaining funds: 139,600.]
[You have successfully purchased a voucher for past items. What past item do you wish to redeem?]
Seeing the pop-up question box, Hashiba Hikaru replied directly, "The Ring of Vows."
[Ring of Vows successfully redeemed!]
As the last line of text slowly disappeared, a very exquisite ring appeared in the boy's palm. This ring was slightly different from the Ichinose Honami, but the general style was the same.
Gently toying with the cold ring in his palm, Hashiba Hikaru prepared to see Sakura Airi tomorrow. He hadn't been close to the girl for a while and felt he should make it up to her.
After glancing at the time, the boy decided to rest first. It was already quite late, and he shouldn't disturb her at this hour.
The next morning, at eight o'clock.
After finishing her usual morning exercise, before heading to the classroom, Hashiba Hikaru took out her phone and sent a message to Sakura Airi.
Chat interface.
Hashiba Hikaru: Is Airi free these days?
Because Sakura Airi is an active Blog Idol and print model online, she is basically always on her phone, and replies arrive very quickly, about ten seconds apart.
Sakura Airi: I'm free. Is there anything I can help you with?
Hashiba Hikaru: Can we meet at Airi's dorm this afternoon? I have a gift for Airi.
Upon seeing this reply, the red-haired girl in the classroom couldn't help but tremble. She tightly covered her mouth to stop herself from crying out.
Although she has now made changes and has friends to talk to, the girl still doesn't want to show it after this moment of great joy; she's content to remain Akito.
It had been a month since Sakura Airi last met with Hashiba Hikaru in private; she had waited far too long.
Sakura Airi: Yeah, I'll wait for Hikaru in my dorm.
Hashiba Hikaru: Okay, see you there.
Sakura Airi: See you there!
Hashiba Hikaru put down her phone and stepped into Class A's classroom. Meanwhile, in Class D of the First Year, the red-haired girl's mood gradually calmed down. She stared blankly at her phone screen, like a cat peeking out the window at the scenery.
This scene was quickly noticed by Hasebe Haruka had been silently watching her. The unique blue-haired girl had always considered herself Sakura Airi's protector, and seeing the other girl's expression, she knew in her heart that this must be related to Hashiba Hikaru again.
"Airi!"
She took the initiative and patted the red-haired girl on the shoulder.
"Oh dear... Haruka, what are you doing?"
Startled, Sakura Airi shuddered. When she saw the blue-haired girl so close by, a helpless expression appeared on her pretty face.
"I saw Airi smirking the whole time, so I'm curious what happened."
Hasebe Haruka a chair and sat down beside her, smiling as she asked, "Could you share something with me?"
"Eh..."
Sakura Airi hesitated for a moment. She had always known that Hasebe Haruka didn't like Hashiba Hikaru, but after all, she was her good friend and her intentions were for her own good, which made the girl very conflicted.
"Could it be related to that guy?"
The blue-haired girl didn't beat around the bush and asked directly in a low voice.
"..."
"It seems I guessed right. Only he could bring such a smile to Airi."
Hasebe Haruka cherishes friendship, and therefore cares deeply about Sakura Airi, always unwilling for her to become Hashiba Hikaru's lover.
"Hmm, it's related to light..."
Sakura Airi spoke in a very low voice. Her seat was in the last row of the classroom, and to avoid attracting attention, she practically whispered in the other person's ear.
What is he planning to do?
"Hmm... he just said he's coming to my dorm this afternoon."
This made Sakura Airi very happy, and a smile appeared on her lips, visible only to Hasebe Haruka.
"Hehe, I see."
The blue-haired girl chuckled twice, then immediately continued, "Airi, I have a request, and I hope you will grant it."
"What request?"
Sakura Airi looked at her friend's pretty face.
"I want to go too!"
"Hmm."
"I'm not going there to be a third wheel, Airi,"
Hasebe Haruka explained earnestly, "That guy hasn't contacted you in so long, he obviously doesn't take you seriously. I have something to say to him."
"Hey, Haruka arguing with Hikaru... I'm okay."
Sakura Airi knew what she wanted to say and quickly tried to dissuade her.
"I'll leave after I finish speaking, so I won't disturb your date. Is that alright?"
"..."
After a moment of silence, seeing her friend's resolute expression, Sakura Airi ultimately did not refuse her.
"Alright then, but no arguing, okay, Haruka?"
"Yes, I will."
The blue-haired girl smiled and took Sakura Airi's arm. They had been in the same group during their Forest Training Camp, and more than a week of living and eating together had made their relationship grow stronger.
At 5 PM, after finishing her Student Council work, Hashiba Hikaru sent Ichinose Honami a message saying she wanted to eat out. The girl replied with a cute "[Received]" emoji and said she was going shopping with Ando that day.
After finishing all these tasks, Hashiba Hikaru touched the ring in her pocket and sent a message to Sakura Airi asking if there was any food left in her dorm's refrigerator. After receiving an affirmative reply, she stepped into the elevator leading to the girls' dormitory.
Arriving at the familiar spot, the boy took a deep breath and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Knock knock knock.
The knocking lasted five or six seconds before the door was opened.
"Airi?"
Hashiba Hikaru looked into the entrance hall, but what came into view was not the familiar charming face, but a pretty face with no expression.
"... Hasebe- kun?"
"It's me, Classmate Hashiba, good afternoon."
"Uh... Good afternoon."
Come in.
Hasebe Haruka scrutinized the boy's face, which appeared even more handsome than before, though she hadn't seen him for many days, maintaining a completely expressionless demeanor.
It's true that she likes good-looking guys, but it's also true that she hates guys who date multiple people at the same time.
The blue-haired girl would not back down on this point.

Chapter 548 Sakura Airi's Gift
Following Hasebe Haruka into Sakura Airi's room, Hashiba Hikaru saw the red-haired girl she hadn't seen in a long time. She had changed into comfortable loungewear and was standing prettily in front of the refrigerator.
"Light!"
She called out the boy's name, her eyes fixed on him.
"Yes, Airi."
Hashiba Hikaru raised his arms, intending to embrace the other person, but he quickly realized there was another person in the room, so he could only quietly lower his hands again.
"I'm so happy that Guang finally had time to come see me today!"
Sakura Airi naturally noticed her man's little gesture. She glanced at the blue-haired girl standing beside her with her arms crossed, and understood that the girl would not leave until she finished speaking, so all the intimate things would have to wait until later.
"I've been too busy ever since I came back from the Forest School, I just can't help it."
Hashiba Hikaru sighed, stood next to the girl, and opened the refrigerator. "What would Airi like for dinner? I'll cook today."
"Anything is fine, I like to eat anything that's made with light."
Sakura Airi had no objection to this. She moved closer to the boy and looked at the remaining food in the refrigerator with him.
"Um, Classmate Hashiba, are you free right now?"
Seeing the man and woman's shoulders naturally touching, Hasebe Haruka coughed lightly and got down to business.
"What's wrong, Hasebe- kun?"
Hashiba Hikaru took out the ingredients for tonight's meal, put them in the sink, and turned on the tap.
"I have some very important questions to ask you, and I hope Classmate Hashiba can give me a sincere answer."
Hasebe Haruka stared intently into Hashiba Hikaru's eyes, her tone resolute.
"..."
After thinking for a while, Hashiba Hikaru noticed the unease in Sakura Airi's eyes. He knew very well that Hasebe Haruka was the red-haired girl's good friend, and that their previous conversations had all been to protect her.
The boy had figured this out long ago, so he didn't care about the barbed tone in her words at all; on the contrary, he felt a certain appreciation for her.
Because such behavior is easily criticized as meddling, Hasebe Haruka did it because she cared about friendship, and in Hashiba Hikaru's eyes, it was a very sincere act.
"Okay, Hasebe, go ahead and ask. I'll answer you honestly."
Hashiba Hikaru gently patted Sakura Airi's shoulder, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
"How about we talk outside?"
