The True Teaching: Welcome to Paradise of Freedom

Kiyotaka shook his head, saying nothing.

"Why? I could have helped you."

Though Kiyotaka's spirits below were running high, his voice remained as calm as ever.

"That's what I should be asking you. Why would you jump into this fire when you know I have more than one girlfriend?"

Airi Sakura's hazy eyes regained a trace of clarity as she looked at Kiyotaka and smiled.

"Because you saved me. I don't care how many girlfriends you have, as long as you treat me well. And aren't I one of your targets? What are you hesitating for?"

Hearing this, Kiyotaka couldn't help but smile. He never thought the day would come when one of his own conquest targets turned the tables on him.

When someone had put it to him like that, what difference was there between backing down and acting like a coward?

Without further hesitation, Kiyotaka pulled Airi close and kissed her fiercely, drawing a startled whimper from her before she threw herself into it.

The sounds of wet kisses filled the air as they exchanged saliva. Airi felt herself growing more and more aroused, the wetness far exceeding even a hundredth of what she felt during her usual self-comfort sessions.

Chapter 15: Airi Sakura Willing to Cooperate

Airi Sakura felt her mind grow foggy from lack of oxygen. Her eyes glazed over, she pushed Kiyotaka back, looked at him, bit her silver teeth, and pulled his clothes down in one motion.

Airi Sakura glanced at Kiyotaka with a hint of panic and swallowed involuntarily.

"What is this even..."

Then she made up her mind. She let down her tied-up hair and took off her non-prescription glasses. Soon she was undressing, and before long, nothing remained on her body but a thin strip of cloth.

To Kiyotaka's surprise, the outwardly plain-looking Airi Sakura had been wearing a chest binder underneath. When that snowy white was freed, her stunning figure was fully revealed. And with her disguise shed, Airi Sakura's beauty rivaled anyone's.

"Please... let Airi become yours. I only ask that you'll always cherish me as before. If you can do that, then from now on, I am yours."

Kiyotaka looked at the shy Airi Sakura and nodded under her expectant gaze. This wasn't a lie—at the very least, Horikita had received the same treatment. If not for Kikyo's ulterior motives, she would probably be in a similar position by now.

Having received the answer she wanted, Airi Sakura shed all her burdens.

Though Airi's technique was inexperienced, she made full use of her physical advantages.

When that softness enveloped him, the slightly cool yet tender sensation was something Kiyotaka had never experienced before.

It felt so good that Kiyotaka couldn't help but squeeze hard.

"Hn..."

This was the first time Airi had been treated with such force. The mix of pain and pleasure made her murmur involuntarily, which embarrassed her greatly.

As for the culprit who made her lose face, Airi naturally wouldn't let him off. She became even more diligent. Unfortunately, inexperience was Airi's greatest weakness. She had all the talent but couldn't bring it to full effect. Kiyotaka only needed his large hands to conquer her into surrender, leaving her limp and slumped over him, letting him press against her as he pleased.

Kiyotaka merely shifted his hand slightly, and Airi immediately noticed. After a moment's hesitation, not only did she not resist, but she slightly arched her back to accommodate him.

Seeing this, Kiyotaka didn't hesitate and removed his clothes. Airi's eyes were already deep and watery.

Airi Sakura was completely obedient to Kiyotaka. She followed his movements and lay face down on the bed. Though embarrassed at being studied by him, a strange, stimulating sensation grew more and more intense.

Kiyotaka could see that Airi was still a bit nervous, so he decided to calm her emotions first.

As Kiyotaka soothed her, Airi felt her body grow hotter and hotter.

She looked at Kiyotaka with seductive eyes.

"Kiyotaka... it feels so uncomfortable..."

Hearing this, Kiyotaka hesitated no longer.

"Ah! It hurts."

Airi Sakura lay on the bed facing Kiyotaka. Seeing her pitiful expression with slightly furrowed brows, Kiyotaka softened.

Feeling Kiyotaka's gentleness, Airi adjusted a little and then said in a soft, sticky voice.

"Kiyotaka~ love me!"

Airi's docile nature had already made Kiyotaka especially fond of her. This sudden, sultry whisper was like dry kindling meeting a flame.

"I feel like I'm dying..."

Airi bit her teeth, trying to endure silently, but Kiyotaka was too mischievous. His teasing made her cry out involuntarily.

Unable to bear it, Airi wrapped her arms tightly around Kiyotaka, burying his head in her towering, cloud-like softness. The cotton-like touch had astonishing elasticity, making Kiyotaka linger there for a while.

Airi, however, was enduring a double stimulation that made her whole body tremble.

Kiyotaka knew Airi couldn't last long, so he used all his skill to finish quickly.

Even so, it was still a long time before Airi finally reached her end.

As the end came, Airi felt her whole body limp and weak, breathing rapidly.

She took small breaths, her eyes watery as she looked at Kiyotaka.

"Kiyotaka~"

Kiyotaka lay quietly on his side, idly toying with the softness in his hands.

"Mission complete. Airi Sakura conquest successful. Reward: Heart of Unwavering Loyalty. From now on, any girl you successfully bed will have a heart of unwavering loyalty toward you, with no regrets."

The voice echoed in his mind, surprising Kiyotaka. He had thought there might be some lies mixed in with Airi Sakura's words, but everything she said was genuine. This made Kiyotaka look at Airi Sakura with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

As for the reward, Kiyotaka found it rather superfluous—since he had already succeeded in winning her over, and her heart was already inclined toward him, this was merely an extra layer of assurance.

Pushing aside the stray thoughts in his mind, he looked at Airi Sakura, who was gazing at him with deep affection, and gently leaned down to place a tender kiss on her lips.

Airi smiled softly at his gentleness, then, exhausted, drifted off into a deep sleep.

Kiyotaka watched her sleep without leaving, staying until evening when Airi finally stirred awake.

She opened her eyes in a panic, but upon seeing Kiyotaka's sleeping face beside her, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Because her movements were a bit abrupt, Kiyotaka woke up as well.

"Awake?"

"Mm! I slept so comfortably."

Airi pressed her bare body directly against Kiyotaka, finding a cozy spot in his arms.

"Kiyotaka."

"Hm?"

"Didn't you ask me before if I had evidence of Sudo's fight? I do."

"Mm."

Airi looked up at his calm expression and asked curiously, "How come you're not surprised at all?"

Kiyotaka glanced at her bewildered face and gave a slight smile. "When the class was discussing it, I happened to walk in through the door. You were the only one with your head down, like you were avoiding something."

Airi suddenly understood.

"I can testify for Sudo during the student council ruling."

"Why the sudden change of heart?"

Airi smiled sweetly at Kiyotaka, her small hand quietly creeping to an unspeakable place. "Because you're here. I'm not afraid."

With that, her red lips parted, and passion surged. Once tasted, the flavor could not be forgotten—Airi, new to this, could not stop at the surface. Devoting herself entirely to Kiyotaka, she grew increasingly wild. If not for the dormitory's excellent soundproofing, the whole building would have known what was happening.

What exactly happened, no one knew—only that the next day, Airi's slime was covered in red marks, and she couldn't help but furrow her brow with every step she took.

Chapter 16: A Deal with Kikyo

A week later, the student council ruling arrived as scheduled.

Class D's representative should have been their homeroom teacher, Chabashira, but she used busyness as an excuse, leaving the attendees to be the parties involved—Sudo, Horikita, and Kiyotaka.

On the other side were Class C's homeroom teacher and the three victims.

As everyone sat down, Sudo wore an expression of irritable impatience, while the three Class C students looked terrified and covered in bruises.

Seeing this, Kiyotaka let out a quiet sigh inwardly.

"We will now begin the hearing on last Tuesday's violent incident. The meeting will be chaired by me, student council secretary Tachibana."

Standing beside the president, a girl with short purple hair spoke.

"I didn't expect something this trivial to catch the student council president's attention," Kiyotaka murmured, glancing at Manabu Horikita sitting next to Tachibana.

Manabu Horikita shot him a cool look and said, "I'm usually busy with affairs, but I handle everything personally. I happened to have time today, so I came."

Kiyotaka hadn't expected Manabu Horikita's ears to be so sharp that he could catch that, so he simply nodded faintly in acknowledgment.

...The hearing for this incident did not go smoothly. Both sides argued fiercely over who had thrown the first punch.

Even when Kiyotaka later brought out Airi Sakura's evidence, it still couldn't prove Sudo's innocence. Because Airi's evidence was just some rather revealing selfies, with the background incidentally capturing the scene of Sudo and the others brawling—it didn't actually prove which side was right or wrong.

"Now, I can give you two options. First: Ishizaki and the other two from Class C, and Sudo from Class D—all four of you will be expelled immediately. Second: one week from now, we will hold another ruling."

This was hardly a choice at all, leaving both sides silent.

"Then, let's leave it at that for today."

With that, Manabu Horikita rose from his seat and walked out.

Seeing the president leave, the others gradually dispersed, leaving only Airi Sakura and Kiyotaka behind.

"I'm sorry, Kiyotaka. I didn't help you much."

Airi Sakura hung her head, looking aggrieved as she spoke to him.

Hearing this, Kiyotaka stroked her soft hair and even gave her delicate nose a rare pinch. "This has nothing to do with you. You worked hard today—go back and rest early."

"Mm!" Airi Sakura smiled sweetly. She knew Kiyotaka still had things to attend to, so she didn't disturb him further and left on her own.

In the vast conference room, Kiyotaka sat alone, leaning back in his seat as his vacant gaze fixed on the dim ceiling.

Suddenly, his eyes caught a faint infrared beam in the corner.

"A camera?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, then rose and left.

No sooner had Kiyotaka returned to his dorm room than a knock came at the door.

He stared at the door with confusion, unsure who it was. If it were Horikita, she would have just walked in—she had a keycard to this place.

The knock came again. With no choice, Kiyotaka got up to answer it.

His cold gaze swept over and found Kikyo standing at the door.

"Something wrong?"

"Kiyotaka, are you still mad at me?"

Kikyo looked at his indifferent expression and asked with a plaintive tone.

"Mad about what? What's there to be mad about?"

"You clearly are. You've been especially cold to me these past few days. You won't talk to me, you won't come find me..."

Before Kikyo could finish, Kiyotaka cut her off.

"Ah... I think you might have misunderstood. Maybe this will make it simpler: I don't actually care about the grudges between you and Horikita. In my eyes, only the results matter. When the outcomes you bring start affecting my interests, there's no need for us to stay in contact."

"So then... everything, all of it, was just a transaction, wasn't it?"

Kikyo asked, a trace of sorrow coloring her face as she heard his emotionless explanation.

Kiyotaka nodded flatly.
