Ibuki, You'd Look Pretty Good in a Maid Outfit (Revised)

Horikita and the other two walked over to Kiyotaka and spoke to him.

Kiyotaka nodded, then left.

Back in Kiyotaka's room, Kikyo threw herself into his arms as if she could finally let loose. She took a deep breath and said,

"Mmm~ I've missed your scent, Kiyotaka. It's been three whole hours."

Horikita watched her and said, exasperated,

"Kikyo, quit fooling around. We should look at the exam details first."

Kikyo didn't care in the slightest. She pushed Kiyotaka down and expertly got things ready, then grabbed some snacks and began munching away. Between bites, she mumbled,

"Why don't you look first? The exam details are the same for everyone, right? I'll just listen."

Horikita watched Kikyo's antics and rubbed her forehead helplessly, while Airi's pretty face flushed bright red.

Kiyotaka wasn't surprised by Kikyo's behavior. He simply settled in and enjoyed himself.

He took out his terminal, opened the text message, and read it.

"Regarding the Special Exam... All examinees must arrive at the designated room at the specified time. Those who are more than ten minutes late will be penalized... Mine says to meet at six tonight. What about you?"

"Mine says eight forty tonight."

Horikita held up her terminal and shook her head.

"Mine's at seven."

Airi watched Kikyo enjoying her snacks with wide, eager eyes, her face flushed as she spoke.

"What about you?"

Kiyotaka grabbed a handful of Kikyo's trembling, snow-white flesh and asked.

"Mmm~ You're so naughty. Mine's at six forty."

Kikyo took a moment to pull out her terminal and hurriedly check it.

"Looks like everyone has a different time. More trouble's on the way, I bet. Sigh."

Kiyotaka truly couldn't stand trouble, and having it pile up one thing after another was giving him a headache.

"Kiyotaka~ Don't worry about it yet. I'm about to lose control..."

Kikyo pressed against him like a snake, her eyes glistening with desire.

"Kikyo, you really have amazing stamina."

Even Horikita, with all her self-control, couldn't help commenting as she watched Kikyo.

At that, Kikyo let go of Kiyotaka, walked over to Horikita, and reached out to touch her.

"Tsk. Come on, Suzune, let's be honest with each other. You're practically about to flood the place, so why pretend to be so high and mighty?"

"You! You really are a woman who needs to be taught a lesson!"

Kikyo's words easily got under Horikita's skin. Relying on her slight strength advantage, Horikita pinned her down on the bed and said to Kiyotaka,

"Kiyotaka, teach her a lesson! I've got her pinned!"

Kiyotaka was dumbfounded by the two of them, but he couldn't resist as he watched Kikyo's body sway.

After all, this was a rare opportunity for him.

Kikyo let out a wanton cry that made Horikita's pretty face turn red, too.

Out of the corner of his eye, Kiyotaka saw Airi standing awkwardly to the side, staring at the floor. He pulled her over, then reached his wicked hand toward her snow-white chest.

"Ah! Why are you bullying me too, Kiyotaka?"

Airi cried out as she endured Kiyotaka's teasing.

"Suzune, come over here. You don't need to hold her down."

Kiyotaka beckoned Horikita over, indicating the free space on his right.

"Exactly, Suzune. You don't need to hold me down. Even if you told me to leave, I probably wouldn't..."

At that, Horikita gave up and walked over to Kiyotaka's right side, where she began enjoying his attention.

"I can't take it anymore! I can't!"

Before long, Kikyo was defeated and collapsed limply on the bed. Kiyotaka lifted Horikita onto it.

He let the exhausted Kikyo off for the moment, but Horikita and Airi were the ones who suffered.

Horikita barely endured Kiyotaka's assault.

Kiyotaka had left Airi's body covered in love bites, and his repeated sucking made her tremble all over.

"Mmm... I can't take it!"

Horikita was the most sensitive of the group to begin with. There was no helping it.

With Horikita's valiant surrender, the last victim, Airi, naturally couldn't escape Kiyotaka's grasp either.

As the waves crashed over her again and again, Airi reached a state of bliss.

Just then, Kikyo pushed the limp Airi aside, stuffed a snack into her mouth, and began chewing quickly.

The intense sensation made Kiyotaka lose control and erupt.

"Glug."

After cleaning herself up thoroughly, Kikyo licked her lips, still wanting more.

"Eating it all myself feels the best."

"Kiyotaka... Next time, it's my turn."

For some reason, Airi said this with a pitiful pout.

"Then I'm after her!"

Even Horikita, usually so reserved and cool, said the same.

Hearing the two of them fighting to go next, Kikyo secretly covered her mouth and giggled, then playfully winked at Kiyotaka.

Well, damn, Kikyo. You've really got a way with people. I've got to hand it to you.

Kiyotaka looked at the three of them, exhausted and limp, and said with a smile,

"I'll let you off this time. It's almost time, so rest up and get ready for the exam."

"Mmm~"

They answered in sultry voices, then somehow leaned against one another and fell fast asleep.

Kiyotaka stared at them in astonishment. Then he took a spare blanket from the closet, covered the three of them, and lay down beside them to sleep.

"Kiyotaka, wake up. Don't you have to meet at six? There are only twenty minutes left. Hey, stop groping me!"

Airi gently shook Kiyotaka awake.

He was groping her unconsciously, and only when he heard Airi's voice did he realize why the feel of what he was holding was so nice. It was Airi.

Kiyotaka sat up, tapped Airi on the nose, then got dressed and said,

"Thanks for the effort, Airi. Wake the others up later, okay? I'll head over first."

"Okay, don't worry."

Airi gave Kiyotaka a sweet smile, kissed him on the lips with a quick smack, and said,

"Mmm, good girl."

With that, Kiyotaka left the room and headed for Room 504 mentioned in the message.

It was already five fifty-eight when Kiyotaka arrived at the room. He pressed the doorbell in front of him.

"Ding-dong."

"Come in."

A stern male voice came from inside.

Kiyotaka opened the door and saw that the room was rather dim. Only a few lights above a large table illuminated the space.

As he drew closer, he saw that three people were already seated there.

"Class A's homeroom teacher, Doctor, and Yukimura, huh..."

"So one of the two remaining chairs was for you." A boy pushed up his glasses and looked at Kiyotaka. This bespectacled bookworm was the Doctor Kiyotaka had mentioned: Hideo Sotomura.

"This is getting kind of weird."

Another boy, with thin-rimmed glasses and grayish-black hair, spoke up. This was Teruhiko Yukimura.

"Yeah, it is." Kiyotaka casually found a seat and sat down, his tone flat.

"Ahem. We still have to wait for the last person to arrive, so sit tight."

Class A's homeroom teacher cleared his throat, folded his arms, and spoke with his eyes closed as he rested.

The time reached six-oh-one.

The door opened once again.

"Sorry to intrude~"

A girl's voice rang out. When she came in and saw the people around the table, she exclaimed in surprise,

"Uh, what's going on? Why are you all here?"

The person who had arrived was none other than Hirata's girlfriend, Kei Karuizawa.

"You're late. Hurry up and take your seat."

Class A's homeroom teacher opened his eyes and looked at Karuizawa.

"Okay~"

As Karuizawa sat down and noticed Kiyotaka beside her, she even moved her chair a little farther away.

Ah, that's kind of depressing. Am I really so unpleasant that she can't help distancing herself from me?

Kiyotaka silently thought to himself when he saw Karuizawa's reaction.

Chapter 49: Ibuki, You'd Look Pretty Good in a Maid Outfit

"Now that everyone's here, I'll explain this Special Exam."

The teacher looked at the four of them, cleared his throat, and began explaining the exam.

"This exam is divided into eight groups based on the planets of the solar system. The exam will take place within those groups. Students from each class will be selected to make up the groups, with fourteen people in each one."

"There are students from Class C! Class A has three, too, and there are students from Class B as well!"

Karuizawa looked at the group list and spoke up in surprise.

"How can that be? Aren't we supposed to be enemies?"

The Doctor asked, sounding somewhat confused.

"We're no longer taking the exam as Class D. We'll be acting as the group called Mars, and whether we pass will depend on each group's results.

"The exam will last three days, with one completely free day in between. At eight tomorrow morning, the school will send a message selecting one person from each group to be the VIP. Each group will then meet twice a day to discuss and identify the VIP. Thirty minutes after the sixth discussion ends, we'll send our answer to the school by text message. Each person may answer only once, but the VIP isn't allowed to answer."

Kiyotaka glanced over the rules and gave a concise summary.

"Let's see. Under Result One, everyone except the VIP and the VIP's classmates must answer correctly. If everyone does, each person in the group gets 500,000 private points, and the VIP gets an additional 500,000."

"F-Five hundred thousand?!"

Karuizawa yelled in shock.

"So the VIP gets double—one million points...?"

Sweat appeared on Yukimura's forehead as he spoke, his voice trembling slightly.

"Under Result Two, if even one person other than the VIP and the VIP's classmates fails to answer or answers incorrectly, the VIP gets 500,000 private points."
