Kamuro Masumi's Surprise / The Final Exam of First Year

After taking the medicine, the silver-haired girl took a sip of water and met Hashiba Hikaru's very concerned gaze.

"How are you feeling, Classmate Sakayanagi?"

The boy was genuinely nervous, after all, this wasn't a prop meant for himself, but rather it affected others, and he had to make sure everything went smoothly.

"Hehe, I'm fine. I just took the medicine, it's impossible for it to have a reaction so quickly."

Seeing how much the other person cared, a warm feeling washed over Sakayanagi Arisu. This was the person she had chosen at first sight.

"Well then, I'll wait with Classmate Sakayanagi for a while, and we'll talk again in an hour. You should lie down and rest for a bit."

Hashiba Hikaru remembered the "rest for one hour" instruction in the medication instructions. To be absolutely sure, he needed to confirm that everything was alright before leaving.

"Then I'll do as you say."

Sakayanagi Arisu nodded slightly; it was certainly a good thing that Hashiba Hikaru was able to stay and keep her company.

"Mmm, now it's..."

Glancing at the time, it was still a while until six o'clock. Neither of them had eaten dinner yet, and since they couldn't leave anytime soon, Hashiba Hikaru thought they might as well make something to eat.

However, after seeing the spotless stove and kitchen space in Sakayanagi Arisu's dormitory, he could only shake his head with a wry smile.

This is a genuine heiress, and she's also not in good health, so it's understandable that she doesn't usually cook.

"What are you looking at Classmate Hashiba?"

Sakayanagi Arisu saw Hashiba Hikaru standing in front of the stove with a wry smile, a thought struck her, and she quickly asked.

"I'm thinking about what to have for dinner, but it looks like there aren't any ingredients in Classmate Sakayanagi's room, not even any seasonings."

Hashiba Hikaru sighed helplessly. As the saying goes, even a clever cook can't cook without rice. Apart from the new cooking utensils, there was nothing else here.

"Because I can't cook, I usually eat out before going back to the dorm."

Sakayanagi Arisu's tone was very natural; there are many students like her who don't cook in their rooms, which is a more common choice.

"It's okay, we can go out to eat in an hour."

Hashiba Hikaru walked back to Sakayanagi Arisu's bedroom, a relaxed smile returning to her face.

"No, although we can't go out, we can have someone bring dinner over."

The silver-haired girl wore a mischievous, amused expression as she held her phone, seemingly preparing to send a message to someone.

"Wait... you're not planning to have Kamuro bring us food, are you?"

Hashiba Hikaru immediately realized that the purple-haired girl usually took care of Sakayanagi's life, but wasn't delivering meals to her door a bit too much? This wasn't a classmate at all, but rather a servant-like figure!

"Yes, what does Classmate Hashiba like to eat?"

Sakayanagi Arisu nodded gently, seemingly understanding what Hashiba Hikaru was thinking, and slowly explained, "You don't need to worry about Masumi's thoughts. I didn't force her to do these things."

"I'm not picky about food; I can eat anything."

Hashiba Hikaru waved her hand. Although her taste had become picky thanks to Ichinose Honami's cooking, she still ate at the school cafeteria without hesitation, as long as it filled her stomach.

"Then let's order one meal. I don't eat much, so we can share."

"This..."

"Classmate Hashiba doesn't want to?"

"Okay, one is fine."

Chapter 626 Kamuro Masumi's Surprise

When Kamuro Masumi received the text message from Sakayanagi Arisu, she was resting in her room. During this time, Arisu had been getting very close to Hashiba Hikaru, which made her feel much more relaxed, as she no longer had to worry about Arisu's every whim.

Send me dinner to my dorm room. It will consist of three dishes and a soup, and I only need one serving of rice.

"Really."

Kamuro Masumi got up from the sofa, feeling a bit annoyed. She rubbed her head. If Sakayanagi Arisu discovered her secret back then, she wouldn't have to do anything for the other party now.

Life in Class B was pretty good for the girl; the pressure wasn't too great, and the Private Points she received each month had actually increased compared to the 100,000 she received at the beginning of the semester. If it weren't for Sakayanagi Arisu constantly weighing on her, her school life would have been even more comfortable.

But since they've already sent a text message, I guess I'll just have to go buy some food.

After spending so much time together, Kamuro Masumi felt she understood Sakayanagi Arisu well enough. She was a very competitive and ruthless girl who seemed to treat everyone as just a tool, and no one could truly make her care.

No... there should be an exception.

On her way to the cafeteria, Kamuro Masumi couldn't help but recall the image of Hashiba Hikaru.

He was indeed an exception, because he was the first boy to arouse Sakayanagi Arisu's curiosity.

Moreover, the silver-haired girl made no attempt to hide this fact, contacting him multiple times despite him already having a girlfriend, and providing considerable support in various aspects, which surprised Kamuro Masumi.

After buying the food, the purple-haired girl arrived at the entrance of Sakayanagi Arisu's dormitory. She had been here many times before and was quite familiar with the place.

Knock knock.

After knocking, Kamuro Masumi waited at the door with food in hand. Strangely, she didn't hear the familiar sound of a cane tapping on the floor, but instead heard steady footsteps coming from inside the door.

"Strange, has someone visited Sakayanagi?"

Kamuro Masumi was a little puzzled, but when the door opened, a person who surprised her appeared before her.

"Kamuro, good afternoon. You're here to bring lunch to Classmate Sakayanagi, right? Thank you for your hard work."

The tall, handsome young man, with a gentle smile on his face, took the lunchbox from Kamuro Masumi's hand and then welcomed the girl in.

"Classmate Hashiba... what are you doing here?"

Kamuro Masumi was genuinely shocked. After all, this was quite different from eating out with Sakayanagi Arisu. A man and a woman alone together in a dormitory seemed far too ambiguous, didn't they?

"It's just some minor stuff I need to discuss with Classmate Sakayanagi, Kamuro, don't worry about it too much."

After entering the room, what happened next surprised Kamuro Masumi even more, because Hashiba Hikaru actually went straight into Sakayanagi's bedroom, and when she followed her, she found that the silver-haired girl was actually lying on the bed.

What's going on?

Just as she was filled with immense surprise, Hashiba Hikaru had already opened the lunchbox. As requested by Sakayanagi Arisu, there were four dishes and a bowl of rice.

"Classmate Hashiba, is it time?"

Sakayanagi Arisu ignored Kamuro Masumi standing there and instead inquired about the matter. After all, she had already taken the medicine and naturally had to follow the instructions for taking it.

"It feels about right..."

Hashiba Hikaru thought for a moment and realized that less than forty minutes had passed between sending the message to Kamuro Masumi and her bringing the food to her door.

"However, just to be on the safe side, let's eat at seven o'clock. There are still six minutes left."

Since it was before 6 o'clock when I took the medicine, it's definitely okay to eat after 7 o'clock.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Sakayanagi Arisu had just closed her eyes to rest for a while while waiting, and the moment she opened them, she could see Hashiba Hikaru's face. This feeling made the girl feel good, and if she could, she wished it could be like this every day.

"Kamuro, thank you so much for today. Next time, let Classmate Sakayanagi treat you to a meal."

Looking at the purple-haired girl standing to the side, Hashiba Hikaru said with a smile.

"No need, it's just a small matter."

Kamuro Masumi quickly waved her hand. She had actually been observing Sakayanagi Arisu lying on the bed. Her pretty face had an unusual blush, whether from just waking up or for some other reason, she didn't know.

A person of the opposite sex was standing in the bedroom and he was still asleep. What... what is the relationship between these two?

Could it be that they're secretly dating Ichinose?

Many different thoughts arose in the purple-haired girl's mind at the same time. Because she was close to Sakayanagi Arisu, she knew more than the other students in Class B, so she was able to understand some of her thoughts.

"Now that the matter is settled, Masumi, you can go back."

Sakayanagi Arisu leaned against the pillows, issuing commands.

Just as the purple-haired girl turned to leave, the boy suddenly called out behind her.

"Wait a minute, how many points is this meal? Let me transfer it to you, Kamuro."

Before telling the other party the price, Kamuro Masumi quickly glanced at Sakayanagi Arisu's face. Although the other party's expression was gentle, the more gentle she was, the more it proved that the girl was in a bad mood.

"Just have Sakayanagi pass it on to me later, I won't bother you anymore, bye-bye."

Kamuro Masumi reacted quickly, roughly guessing what she should do at this moment: leaving as soon as possible was the best option.

"Huh?"

Hashiba Hikaru could only watch as Kamuro Masumi quickly left. After closing the door, he looked helplessly at the silver-haired girl sitting on the bed.

Why rush her to leave?

"Now is a time for lovers to be alone, so of course I have to get rid of this annoying third wheel."

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled gently, her pretty face revealing a tender expression completely different from her words.

"... Alright, it's about time, let's eat together."

"Um."

With Hashiba Hikaru's help, Sakayanagi Arisu sat down at the dining table. The boy set out the food, which was still steaming because the insulated container was of good quality.

"Shall we divide this meal among ourselves?"

"No need, just put it in the middle of the plate so we can all eat it together."

Sakayanagi Arisu revealed her other plan, and the girl placed a large plate in front of her and poured the rice directly onto it.

"..."

Although she didn't quite understand what the difference was, Hashiba Hikaru didn't object.

"Let's eat like this then. How are you feeling now, Sakayanagi Arisu?"

After setting out the food, Hashiba Hikaru asked the most crucial question, since it had been an hour since she took the medication, which should be in accordance with the instructions.

"Feel..."

After pondering for a moment, Sakayanagi Arisu, not noticing anything unusual about her body, simply shook her head, "Nothing's different."

"Alright, let's eat first. It might take a few days of taking the medicine before we see any changes."

"Will Classmate Hashiba be able to come every day for the next seven days?"

Sakayanagi Arisu raised her head and stared intently at the other person's face.

"Of course, I have to take responsibility for you, after all, I'm the one who gave you this medicine."

"You're really serious, huh? Well then, I won't be polite. Remember to come every day, Classmate Hashiba."

"Um."

Chapter 627 The Last Exam of First Year.

Over the next few days, in order to ensure that Sakayanagi Arisu could recover smoothly after taking her medicine, Hashiba Hikaru would go to the girl's dormitory every day after finishing her Student Council work to accompany her to take her medicine, and she would usually return to the dormitory around seven or eight o'clock.

Although Ichinose Honami didn't quite understand why her boyfriend was coming home later these days, as the perfect girlfriend, she was used to his busy schedule and wouldn't unreasonably demand an explanation from Hashiba Hikaru.

She believed in a very simple principle: the best way to fight is not to fight. Only by not fighting will Hashiba Hikaru care about her more. Ichinose Honami always kept this in mind.

No matter how busy she was outside or what else she was doing, the love the boy gave her never diminished; on the contrary, it became even more abundant. In bed, the girl could sometimes make some capricious little requests, Hashiba Hikaru would unconditionally fulfill.

Ichinose Honami current situation. She looks forward to her future married life with him, and that hopeful picture is becoming clearer and clearer, almost within her reach.

As Sakayanagi Arisu medication, time quickly passed to the day before the final Special Exam.

On March 7th, the students in Class A received a notice from their teacher that the exam would be announced the next day, and everyone needed to prepare and take the final battle of their first year seriously.

"Today is the last day to take your medication, Classmate Sakayanagi. How is your heart feeling now?"

Today, Hashiba Hikaru specially prepared a bento box. After heating it up in the girl's dormitory, the boy served it to her.

"Something seems to have changed, but it's also like nothing has happened."

Sakayanagi Arisu leaned against the headboard. She had finished all seven days' worth of pills. Apart from feeling a slight increase in energy, the girl did not notice any significant changes in her body.

"It should wait until after today's end."
