Yuki Himeno

As for that, Ye Yunchuan could only say the illustrations had misled him.

"I'm Ye Yunchuan from Class 1-D. I'm here to claim your territory."

Facing the beauty's question, Ye Yunchuan kept his hands in his pockets and struck a very cocky pose.

"Are you here to rob us? Hm?"

To Ye Yunchuan's surprise, when Ichinose heard he was there to rob them, she didn't get nervous. Instead, she rushed over excitedly, grabbed his shoulders, and said:

"If you're here to rob us, I surrender!

"You can have all our supplies, too.

"But before that, could you save my classmate?

"Please! Himeno's in danger. Hurry and save her!"

"Hmph. It's not like I'm short on food. What would I want your little bit of fish for?"

Ye Yunchuan looked disdainful.

In truth, Ichinose Honami's fish could still come in handy. At the very least, he hadn't had seafood in a while.

He was only putting on this act because he wanted more.

"Then what do you want? I'll give you anything, as long as you help save Himeno."

"I want you, and that girl named Himeno Yuki."

"Eh?!" Ichinose Honami froze at his condition, a faint blush involuntarily crossing her face.

Although Ichinose was modest, she knew perfectly well how attractive she was.

She wasn't surprised that Ye Yunchuan coveted her beauty.

But wanting Himeno Yuki, too, seemed far too greedy.

"Um... You can have everything I have. As for Himeno, I'll try to persuade her afterward. Could you please go save her first?"

"No way, Honami! How can you agree to the demands of such a despicable person?"

Seeing Ichinose Honami about to fall into Ye Yunchuan's clutches, Shiranami Chihiro couldn't stand by any longer.

"Please, Yunchuan. Hurry and save Himeno."

But Ichinose continued pleading with Ye Yunchuan as if she hadn't heard her.

"Before I do anything, shouldn't I get a reward?"

Ye Yunchuan wore a playful grin.

If they waited any longer, Himeno Yuki would surely die. But he'd already sent Xiao Hei to rescue her, so he didn't mind teasing Ichinose a little longer.

"A reward? What kind of reward?"

The innocent Ichinose was completely baffled.

"Here." Ye Yunchuan pointed to his lips.

"Th-this..."

Ichinose Honami's face turned scarlet. She wasn't a child. With such an obvious hint, how could she not understand what Ye Yunchuan wanted?

But to save Himeno Yuki, she finally gritted her teeth and leaned in to kiss him.

Himeno Yuki

"How could this happen? Oh, no! Ichinose, my Ichinose..."

Shiranami Chihiro stood rooted to the spot, as if struck by lightning.

"Please, hurry and save Himeno!"

After kissing Ye Yunchuan, Ichinose Honami fought down her embarrassment and urged him to go.

"Don't worry. I'll save her."

Having collected his interest, Ye Yunchuan patted Ichinose's shoulder with satisfaction.

"Don't you ever get tired of using the same trick?"

After watching him a few times, Sakayanagi Arisu had figured out Ye Yunchuan's method of picking up girls.

It all came down to one thing.

Threats and bribes.

He'd used the same trick on her, Ibuki Mio, and Ichinose Honami.

"If it works, that's all that matters. I can't be bothered to try anything else."

Ye Yunchuan pursed his lips.

In truth, he could have had both their hearts and bodies, but that would have taken too much time.

He'd rather spend that time sowing more seeds and strengthening himself.

"What a despicable man."

Horikita Suzune nodded in agreement.

As a straightforward girl, she obviously couldn't stand Ye Yunchuan's tactics.

"Exactly. I've never seen a man so shameless!"

Having suffered at his hands, Ibuki Mio could relate more than anyone.

The three exchanged glances without thinking.

"..."

Then came a long silence.

Even though he used the same trick on all of them, they still couldn't do much about Ye Yunchuan.

Some people were simply shameless beyond compare.

The scene shifted to Himeno Yuki.

Even after reaching the second floor, she was still being relentlessly chased by the Sprinter. Just as it was about to catch up with her, she hurriedly ducked into a room.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

But the Sprinter didn't seem willing to let her go. It repeatedly clawed at the door with its sharp talons.

The horrifying thing was that the wooden door was like paper in the face of its claws; it tore through it with ease.

With each slam from the Sprinter, the holes grew wider.

Just as the Sprinter was about to break in—

Bang!

An unknown force suddenly pierced its head.

Then the door opened, and a handsome boy walked up to her.

"Um, was it you who saved me?"

Himeno Yuki stared blankly at the boy in front of her.

She was sure she'd never seen him before. At the very least, there was no one this handsome in her class.

After seeing the notification, Ye Yunchuan nodded, then looked at Himeno Yuki with a playful expression and said:

"Yeah, I saved you. Are you going to repay me with yourself?"

"Eh?! You're joking, right? That monster was so strong. How could you have killed it?"

Himeno Yuki questioned him without the slightest hesitation.

"You don't believe me? How about this?"

Ye Yunchuan had Xiao Hei lift Himeno Yuki by the neck.

"Ugh! What is this? Let me go!"

Himeno Yuki was terrified and quickly begged Ye Yunchuan to release her.

"It's a little complicated to explain. Just think of it as a superpower."

With that, Ye Yunchuan had Xiao Hei put Himeno Yuki down.

"Ah..."

To Ye Yunchuan's surprise, the moment he set Himeno Yuki down, she let out a pained cry.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Yunchuan couldn't help fixing his gaze on Himeno Yuki's lower leg.

"Um, I was running too fast and accidentally hit the door..."

Himeno Yuki explained softly.

In her haste, she'd run into the door, leaving her lower leg badly swollen and red.

She probably couldn't walk now.

"Looks like you can't walk."

Ye Yunchuan sighed, then walked over and, under Himeno Yuki's stunned gaze, swept her into his arms.

"Eh?! Y-you, put me down! I can walk by myself..."

Himeno Yuki panicked. Her pretty face turned bright red, and heat seemed to rise from her head like steam from a boiling kettle. She felt dizzy all over.

She'd always been reclusive and preferred to be alone.

She only acted friendly in Class B to fit in.

This was the first time she'd ever been so close to a boy.

"What do you mean, 'you'? I saved you. Asking you to repay me with yourself isn't too much, so what's wrong with carrying you?"

Ye Yunchuan rolled his eyes. He hadn't expected Himeno Yuki to react so strongly.

But he had to admit, the way the twin-tailed girl blushed was pretty cute.

"You're a pervert!"

Himeno Yuki glared at Ye Yunchuan.

But when she saw his incredibly handsome face, she couldn't help lowering her head shyly.

One second, he'd seemed ready to kill her; the next, he'd suddenly swept her into his arms.

He really was a strange guy!

"Who are you? Why did you come to our Class B base?"

"Me? I'm Ye Yunchuan from Class 1-D.

"I'm currently the ruler of Classes A, D, and C. I came here to rob you and bring the first-years under my control, so I can prepare to rule the whole school next.

"I'd only just arrived when I saw you all getting slaughtered by monsters.

"After you left, Ichinose Honami begged me to save you. I agreed, but on the condition that you and Ichinose both become my women."

Ye Yunchuan hadn't intended to explain, but without an explanation, he wouldn't accomplish what he'd set out to do.

After thinking it over, he decided to tell her what was going on.

"I can understand Ichinose, but why do I have to become your woman, too? And using your help as leverage against a girl—you're far too despicable."

Himeno Yuki couldn't help ranting at him.

Since she'd always been alone, she had no clear idea of how attractive she was.

So she genuinely couldn't understand why Ye Yunchuan was interested in her.
