He treated ordinary people and malicious people with completely different attitudes.
If she were a well-behaved girl.
He probably wouldn't be able to use this attitude in front of her no matter what.
But as she was now, she didn't look like a well-behaved girl at all.
Kushida Kikyo felt herself breaking into a cold sweat.
And thinking of this...

Chapter 62: Romantic Relationship, Can You Perform That Again?
"It doesn't matter if that's what you think."
"Kushida-san, I'm digging in~"
Kageya Shinjitsu didn't care about any of that.
He looked as if he were possessed by a beast.
"No, no..."
"Don't do this!!"
"I know I was wrong..."
Kushida Kikyo's expression had already changed, and tears were streaming down her face.
She no longer maintained her previous cold indifference.
"So you're not threatening me anymore?"
"Ready to put on a different face?"
"How truly cunning, Kushida-chan."
He gripped Kushida Kikyo's chin, just watching her cry like that.
The prettier the girl, the better she is at lying; they are all geniuses at acting.
Kageya Shinjitsu said with an expressionless face.
He couldn't tell what was real and what was fake.
But this woman was indeed a very clever person.
"No, no, I really know I was wrong."
"I won't threaten you anymore."
"Let me go."
Kushida Kikyo was truly panicked.
Especially since he had said that even if people came, he would perform a piece of realistic body art in front of the whole school.
That look in his eyes was too terrifying.
And this was the only solution she could think of.
"Don't worry about me acting out again, I won't dare to, I know I was wrong..."
"There's no need to go this far, right? It would be troublesome for you too when the time comes."
Kushida Kikyo said 'miserably' with teary eyes.
Seeing that Kageya Shinjitsu didn't have much of a reaction, she tried speaking again tentatively.
"As an apology, um, how about I become your girlfriend? That way you won't have to worry about me doing anything reckless."
"Didn't you want to have a romance? Aside from a few things I might not be able to satisfy, I will date you properly until you find a girlfriend."
"Compared to girls you don't dare to accept or don't want to accept, I can help you become better at dealing with girls."
"And confirming our relationship can also help us keep each other's secrets; this is beneficial for both of us..."
That was what she said, but only she knew what she was thinking inside.
"Heh."
As expected, women are troublesome. The prettier the woman, the more easily the lies roll off her tongue.
Watching Kushida Kikyo's performance, Kageya Shinjitsu gave a disdainful smile.
"You say it with such sincerity, can you perform that again?"
Kageya Shinjitsu didn't continue to act recklessly.
This let Kushida Kikyo breathe a slight sigh of relief.
However.
"That?"
Kushida Kikyo didn't react in time.
Was it about her kicking the railing earlier?
Or was it about them kissing just now?
Or perhaps the fingerprinting?
Before I could snap out of my wild thoughts.
Kageya Shinjitsu had already spoken first.
"It's that thing, let me think about what you said earlier..."
"Do you really think I could be with a disgusting guy?"
"You wouldn't still be thinking about dating me, would you? Heh, even if I jumped off from here, it would be impossible for me to be with you... mmm..."
He mimicked Kushida Kikyo's tone, vividly reenacting her words from just a moment ago.
There was a bit of malicious humor in it, too.
His original plan had been to turn her into a tool like Karuizawa Kei, or simply scare her into dropping out.
But now, let's just have the black-hearted play together; he could always discard her at any moment if necessary.
As for these conditions, they weren't exactly unacceptable.
"Kageya-kun..."
"Please don't make jokes like that, I really know I was wrong."
"It was all a misunderstanding, I was just worried about my little secret. How about I tell you all my secrets later?"
"Please forgive me."
Kushida Kikyo put on a pitiful look.
Her face was flushed, clearly agitated, though she didn't let it show.
Kageya Shinjitsu just stared at her.
Kushida Kikyo didn't flinch, watching him back.
The two of them were huddled together like a young couple, locked in a gaze.
"Kageya-kun, let me down first."
Kushida Kikyo saw that Kageya Shinjitsu wasn't giving an answer.
She spoke up first.
Kageya Shinjitsu considered it and didn't continue to be forceful.
He let Kushida Kikyo down right in front of him.
Her feet touched the ground, giving the railing a chance to catch its breath.
The railing had endured far too much today for its age.
This caused Kageya Shinjitsu to step forward...
And press against her again.
He pinned her against the railing.
Kushida Kikyo wanted to struggle for a moment, but quickly reverted to her pitiful expression.
She had already realized the method to deal with this person.
"Since you've put it that way, then so be it."
Kageya Shinjitsu looked at Kushida Kikyo.
She was different from Karuizawa Kei; even if they broke up at any time, there was no need to worry about hurting her.
In fact, she might even be happier for it.
"Then it's a deal."
Kushida Kikyo felt disgusted inside, but she still wore a gentle smile on her face.
But this result was better than the alternatives.
If she didn't do this, it seemed impossible to trust this guy in front of her.
Just you wait, as soon as I find something to hold over you.
"Kageya-kun, from now on we're boyfriend and girlfriend. Please take care of me."
Hearing Kageya Shinjitsu's words, Kushida Kikyo truly embodied the spirit of an award-winning actress.
That sickeningly sweet feeling arrived in an instant.
It made Kageya Shinjitsu realize that this woman was truly not to be trifled with.
He had inexplicably discovered Kushida Kikyo's true colors.
And inexplicably gained a girlfriend.
"Kushida-san, now we have a secret we share together."
Following Kushida Kikyo's lead, Kageya Shinjitsu also put on a smile.
It was the look of a total green tea bitch.
It even gave Kushida Kikyo goosebumps.
But she still had to respond.
"Yeah."
"However, considering that I might find a girl I like in the future, let's keep our relationship a secret for now."
"You just need to be responsible for keeping me informed about the various situations at school, and how I should get along with girls."
"Likewise, I will be responsible for helping you handle your little moods and little secrets."
Kageya Shinjitsu wore an expression of someone earnestly looking to learn.
This appearance only made Kushida Kikyo more annoyed.
Pah, pah, pah~ who has a relationship with you.
I was actually worried you'd ruin my reputation.
Bastard, are you saying I'm not good enough for you?
"Sure, no problem at all."
This situation was exactly what she had hoped for, and it made her breathe a sigh of relief.
She had originally been worried that making the relationship public would affect her popularity among the boys.
PS: It ended up like this after the final edits, I'm out of ideas.
