Chapter 63: Kageya Shinjitsu's Romantic Comedy of Youth
Having confirmed the situation, Kageya Shinjitsu nodded.
Taking a slight deep breath, Kushida Kikyo slowly returned to her previous self, a beautiful smile blooming on her face.
That sweet smile was enough to stir anyone's heart.
Kageya Shinjitsu, however, was speechless.
He was becoming increasingly wary of the existence known as girls.
They really were born actors.
But clearly, as long as he wanted to keep living, he would inevitably have to interact with people like her.
Therefore, he still needed to learn how to understand and comprehend them.
Kageya Shinjitsu's small goal for high school.
To learn the skill known as "love."
As they parted ways, the little Kushida classroom session came to an end.
The two leaned against each other for a few more minutes before separating.
"Are you satisfied?"
Kushida Kikyo looked at Kageya Shinjitsu with an expression of pure disgust.
"Kushida-san, do girls really look at their boyfriends with such a disgusted expression?"
"It's like you're looking at some kind of pervert; are you sure you aren't pulling my leg?"
Kageya Shinjitsu asked with simple, earnest curiosity.
Kushida Kikyo responded by rolling her eyes at him.
She left him to figure it out for himself.
After that night.
Kageya Shinjitsu's school life became increasingly strange.
So much for the idea that everyone's youth has a romantic story.
As expected, there is something very wrong with this kind of romance.
His relationship with Kushida Kikyo seemed to have genuinely improved.
The other party seemed to have forgotten how their relationship had been established in the first place.
Dating Kushida Kikyo was a completely different experience in public versus in private.
In public, she remained everyone's little angel, their little sweetheart.
But in private, when the two were alone.
This girl had started treating him like a trash can, constantly venting her negative energy.
At the same time, she would PUA him, lecturing him on how to get along with girls.
He had originally expected Kushida Kikyo to stir up some kind of trouble, but it never happened.
She seemed to have accepted this lifestyle as the new normal.
He had even come up with several ways to deal with her.
It felt like none of them were necessary.
It seemed she was using him as a trash can and enjoying it quite a bit.
Moreover, she didn't care about his thoughts at all.
I think I got the short end of the stick.
Lying on his bed in the dormitory, Kageya Shinjitsu wondered if he had made a bad deal.
Inside his room, a beautiful girl was holding Kageya Shinjitsu's pillow and beating it repeatedly.
It was as if she were treating the pillow as Horikita Suzune herself.
"That Horikita, relying on her cuteness, that bastard, that stinking woman."
"I'm telling you, you aren't allowed to interact with her, or I'll kill you."
"And that Karuizawa Kei, what is going on with you two?"
"How are you so familiar?"
"Since you're so close, tell her to stop approaching Horikita Suzune."
Today, Kushida Kikyo had clearly lost it in class again.
Originally, she had been happy to see Horikita Suzune being isolated, and she enjoyed getting close to her every day.
But now, Karuizawa Kei was approaching Horikita Suzune from time to time, and today she even brought a few people to form a study group around Horikita Suzune.
The whole group was starting to look like it was centered around Horikita Suzune as the key figure.
Karuizawa Kei and the others had improved their academic grades, and they even invited Horikita Suzune out to hang out several times, though they were rejected.
Even so, this was a sign that Horikita Suzune was becoming increasingly integrated into the class.
If Horikita Suzune was doing well, she would be very unhappy.
"Impossible, impossible. I only talk to Karuizawa occasionally; our relationship isn't even as close as yours."
"Besides, Kushida-chan is really acting more and more like a girlfriend lately. This possessiveness is ridiculously strong, too."
"It's so scary. Is it too late for me to return the goods?"
Lying on the bed, Kageya Shinjitsu was already used to it, muttering without even turning his head.
"If you try to mess around, I won't let you off."
"That line again. If you say it again, I'm going to get angry."
Looking at Kushida Kikyo's undisguised expression, Kageya Shinjitsu didn't actually feel angry.
After all, they were already 'boyfriend and girlfriend,' so he should be a bit more magnanimous.
It had to be said, Kageya Shinjitsu even felt that Kushida Kikyo's PUA tactics seemed to have succeeded.
"Hmph..."
"Still talking about being boyfriend and girlfriend. If you were really sincere, you should help me get that person expelled."
Kushida Kikyo pouted on the side.
She looked quite annoyed.
These past few days had actually allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to communicate with Kageya Shinjitsu so freely.
This guy was just as she had thought: very bad at dealing with girls, especially gentle ones.
With just a little bit of acting cute, he couldn't handle it.
"Then if you hate her so much, why not just stop interacting with her?"
He didn't pay attention to the angry Kushida Kikyo beside him.
Helping to get someone expelled was naturally something he wouldn't agree to.
That Horikita Suzune hadn't provoked him, and she was also the student council president's younger sister.
If Kushida Kikyo didn't give up on this idea, it felt like she was playing a very high-stakes game.
She wouldn't end up playing herself into a corner, would she?
He didn't warn Kushida Kikyo; now was not the time when she would listen to such advice.
If something really went wrong, he could only say she brought it upon herself.
Kageya Shinjitsu also couldn't understand this feeling of constantly wanting to interact with someone you didn't like. If he hated someone, he certainly wouldn't interact with them much; he would avoid them whenever possible.
At most, he would secretly plot when to stab them in the back.
Like Kushida Kikyo, cursing people behind their backs while smiling to their faces and inviting them to hang out or be friends—he was completely incapable of that.
A terrifying woman; your name must be Devil.
"That person, no."
"Horikita Suzune."
Kushida Kikyo had already fallen into a deep resentment toward Horikita Suzune.
When you think about it, their little grudge didn't seem to amount to much at all.
This girl's pettiness was inversely proportional to her chest size.
It made Kageya Shinjitsu wonder when she might try to sneak attack him.

Chapter 64: The Truly Worst Batch
"It's almost May 1st."
Looking at the time, Kageya Shinjitsu felt a bit of anticipation for that day.
"Are you short on points?"
"If you need them, I still have some here."
Kushida Kikyo was surprised.
This guy, showing an expression like that?
What was there to look forward to on May 1st? Isn't that just when the points are distributed?
"I'm not exactly short."
Kageya Shinjitsu said lazily.
"Then what do you mean? Are you planning to do something bad??"
Kushida Kikyo glared at him "viciously."
"It's nothing major, really. It's just that next month, everyone will find out that Class D won't be receiving any points. Just imagining that scene makes me a little happy."
"Especially those few idiots; it seems they still owe quite a lot of points. I hope they'll be alright."
Kageya Shinjitsu leaked the information directly to Kushida Kikyo.
By now, this bit of news was no longer important.
He even took out his phone, the millions of points displayed on the screen making Kushida Kikyo's eyes widen.
"What is going on with you?"
"Why do you have so many points, and how do you know the school isn't issuing any?"
"Did you steal them?"
Kushida Kikyo's mind raced.
She suddenly wondered if all the class's points had been taken by Kageya Shinjitsu—was such a ridiculous maneuver even possible?
Although it seemed incredible, given the sheer amount of points he had, that might just be the case.
"Stole them? If you want to put it that way, it's somewhat similar, but it's mostly because they squandered them away themselves."
"It seems your focus has been entirely on making friends, and you haven't paid any attention to the rules of this school at all. Besides, those friends of yours in other classes don't really take you seriously either."
"How pitiful, Teacher Kushida-chan."
He turned his head to look at Kushida Kikyo, his face wearing a mocking expression.
This caused Kushida Kikyo to flare up instantly; she could handle being told anything else.
But being told to her face that Horikita Suzune and her friends didn't care about her was where she drew the line.
Like a tiger pouncing on its prey, she lunged forward, climbed onto the bed, and straddled Kageya Shinjitsu.
