Kageya Shinjitsu's Youthful Love Story / The Worst Class Ever

Chapter 63: Kageya Shinjitsu's Youthful Love Story

After they had settled everything, Kageya Shinjitsu nodded too.

Kushida Kikyo took a slow, deep breath and gradually returned to how she'd been before, a lovely smile appearing on her face.

Her sweet smile tugged at the heartstrings.

Kageya Shinjitsu could only stare at her, speechless.

He was becoming more and more wary of girls.

They really were born actresses.

But it was obvious that if he wanted to keep living his life, he'd have to interact with people like her.

So he still had to learn to understand them.

Kageya Shinjitsu's little goal for high school:

Learn the skill called "romance."

As they were about to part, Little Kikyo's lesson began.

The two leaned against each other for a few more minutes before finally separating.

"Are you satisfied?"

Kushida Kikyo looked at Kageya Shinjitsu with disdain.

"Kushida, do girls really look at their boyfriends with that kind of disgust?"

"It's like you're looking at some kind of pervert. Are you sure you're not messing with me?"

Kageya Shinjitsu asked with innocent sincerity.

Kushida Kikyo responded with an eye roll.

She left him to figure it out for himself.

After that night,

Kageya Shinjitsu's school life grew stranger and stranger.

Weren't everyone's teenage years supposed to include a love story?

As expected, there's something seriously wrong with this kind of romance.

His relationship with Kushida Kikyo seemed to have genuinely improved.

She seemed to have forgotten how their relationship had started.

Her relationship with Kushida Kikyo was one thing in public and another in private.

In public, she was still everyone's little angel, their sweet girl.

But when the two of them were alone,

she treated him like a trash can, constantly venting all her negativity.

At the same time, she was manipulating him, teaching him how to interact with girls.

He'd originally expected Kushida Kikyo to cause some kind of trouble, but nothing happened.

She seemed to have accepted this way of life.

He'd even thought of a few ways to deal with her.

It seemed none of them would be necessary.

She seemed to enjoy treating him like a trash can.

And she didn't care at all what he thought.

I think I'm the one getting the short end of the stick.

Lying on his dorm bed, Kageya Shinjitsu wondered if he'd made a bad deal.

In his room, a beautiful girl was pounding away at Kageya Shinjitsu's pillow.

She seemed to be imagining that the pillow was Horikita Suzune herself.

"That Horikita, thinking she can get away with everything just because she's cute. What a jerk. What a nasty woman."

"I'm warning you, don't go near him again. Or I'll kill you."

"And what's going on with Karuizawa Kei?"

"You're so close?"

"If you're that close, tell her to stop going near Horikita Suzune."

Today, Kushida Kikyo had clearly lost it again in class.

She'd been happy to see Horikita Suzune ostracized, and every day she'd eagerly sought her out.

But now, Karuizawa Kei kept approaching Horikita Suzune, and today she'd even gathered a few people to form a study group around her.

The group almost seemed to revolve around Horikita Suzune.

Karuizawa Kei and the others had improved their grades and invited Horikita Suzune out several times, but she'd refused.

Even so, it was a sign that Horikita Suzune was becoming more accepted in class.

Horikita Suzune doing well made Kushida Kikyo very unhappy.

"I can't do that. I only talk to Karuizawa once in a while. We're not even as close as you and I are."

"Besides, Kushida-chan's really starting to act like a girlfriend. That possessiveness of yours is ridiculous."

"How scary. Can I still return you?"

Kageya Shinjitsu was already used to this. Lying on the bed, he muttered without even turning around.

"If you try anything funny, I won't let you get away with it."

"If you say that again, I'll get mad, you know."

Seeing how openly Kushida Kikyo was glaring at him, Kageya Shinjitsu didn't get angry.

After all, they were "boyfriend and girlfriend" now. He had to be the bigger person.

He had to admit, he felt like Kushida Kikyo's manipulation tactics were working.

"Hmph..."

"And you call yourself my boyfriend. If you really cared, you'd help me get that girl expelled."

Kushida Kikyo pouted beside him.

She looked furious.

These past few days had actually helped put her at ease.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have felt so comfortable talking to Kageya Shinjitsu like this.

Just as she'd expected, he was terrible at dealing with girls, especially gentle ones.

All it took was a little cuteness, and he couldn't handle it.

"If you hate her so much, why not just stop talking to her?"

Kageya Shinjitsu paid no mind to Kushida Kikyo's anger beside him.

There was no way he'd agree to help get someone expelled.

Horikita Suzune hadn't done anything to him, and she was the Student Council President's younger sister.

If Kushida Kikyo didn't give up on this idea, it seemed she was playing a very high-level game.

Wouldn't she end up ruining herself?

He didn't warn Kushida Kikyo, either. She wasn't in a state of mind to listen to advice.

If something happened, she'd have only herself to blame.

Kageya Shinjitsu couldn't understand why someone who disliked another person would keep approaching them. If he hated someone, he wouldn't go out of his way to talk to them. He'd avoid them if he could.

At most, he'd secretly wonder when he could trip them up.

But acting like Kushida Kikyo—insulting someone behind their back, then smiling and inviting them out to make friends—was completely beyond him.

What a scary woman. Were you named Devil?

"That girl. No."

"Horikita Suzune."

Kushida Kikyo was drowning in resentment toward Horikita Suzune.

When you thought about it, their little grudge didn't amount to much at all.

Her pettiness was inversely proportional to her generosity.

Kageya Shinjitsu even wondered when she might sneak up on him.

Chapter 64: The Worst Class Ever

"May first is coming up soon."

Looking at the date, Kageya Shinjitsu was looking forward to that day.

"Are you short on points?"

"If you need some, I still have a few."

Kushida Kikyo seemed surprised.

Was this guy actually looking forward to something?

What was so exciting about May first? It was just the day points were handed out.

"I'm not short."

Kageya Shinjitsu answered lazily.

"Then what do you mean? Are you planning something bad?"

Kushida Kikyo gave him a "menacing" look.

"It's nothing major. It's just that next month, everyone will find out our Class D won't get any points. Thinking about that scene makes me a little happy."

"Especially those idiots. They seem to owe quite a lot of points. I hope they'll be all right."

Kageya Shinjitsu told Kushida Kikyo the news outright.

At this point, it wasn't important anymore.

He even took out his phone. Seeing the several million points on it, Kushida Kikyo's eyes widened.

"What's going on with you?"

"Why do you have so many points? And how do you know the school's stopped giving them out?"

"Did you steal them?"

Kushida Kikyo kept thinking it over.

She suddenly wondered whether Kageya Shinjitsu had taken all the points from their class. Was that some kind of trick he'd pulled?

It seemed unbelievable, but given how many points he had, maybe that was what had happened.

"Steal them? You could say that, but it's more that they brought this on themselves."

"Looks like you've been so focused on making friends that you haven't paid any attention to the school's rules. And your friends from the other classes don't seem to care about you, either."

"Poor Kushida-sensei."

He turned to look at Kushida Kikyo, teasing written all over his face.

That instantly enraged Kushida Kikyo. She could tolerate him saying anything about her.

But she couldn't stand him saying that Horikita Suzune and her friends didn't care about her.

Like a tiger pouncing on its prey, she leaped onto the bed and straddled Kageya Shinjitsu.
