A Date with Sakayanagi / The Prettier the Woman, the Better She Lies

She didn't want to be bossed around by Aoyama without considering her feelings anymore.

Anyway, Aoyama is a very handsome guy, and his academic and physical abilities are top-notch. Calling him a prince charming wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Soft and fragrant.

Even through two layers of clothing, Aoyama could clearly feel the two well-developed peaks of Kushida.

With a gentle sniff, he could detect the faint, pleasant fragrance that filled his nostrils.

There was no barrier between them; the fair, beautiful arm that had just been in his sight was pressed firmly against the skin of his neck, its touch warm and delicate.

"Are you sure? Let me tell you beforehand, I'm a notorious womanizer."

Aoyama placed his hand on the back of Kushida's outstretched hand Aoyama gently stroked it.

Having tasted the sweetness of women, he felt his willpower to resist them was becoming increasingly weak after breaking his vow of celibacy in the Yamamura.

Especially for girls they already like.

She's cute, has a great figure, and an unusual personality. Aoyama quite likes Kushida, both her angelic side and her hidden side.

Kushida's cute cheeks flushed red. "You think you need to tell me that, you womanizing bastard?"

The sensations are mutual; while Aoyama's mind was preoccupied with her body, she was just as captivated.

The strong masculine aura emanating from his robust body constantly challenged her thinking. If she weren't so self-disciplined, she would have already rubbed her cheek against Aoyama's very handsome profile.

"What a bastard."

Is it possible that I didn't simply want Aoyama to take care of me and cherish me, which is why I said I wanted to be Aoyama's real girlfriend?

Do I, like any other boy or girl, harbor some kind of longing for being in a relationship?

Driven by physical impulses, Kushida began to doubt herself and scolded him in a spoiled manner.

Holding Kushida's soft, white hand, Aoyama gave it a light kiss. "To have such a lovely girlfriend as Kikyo, I'm a complete jerk."

"Don't kiss me randomly."

As if electrocuted, Kushida sprang away from Aoyama's back, staring fixedly at the back of his hand that Aoyama had kissed.

This was the first time in her life she had been treated like this by a boy.

When her female friend said she didn't feel shy, she didn't expect it to affect her so much when it was her turn; her heart was pounding like she was running a marathon.

"This is a sign that you like it."

Turning to look at Kushida's adorable blushing cheeks, and finding no disgust in those beautiful eyes, Aoyama's face lit up with a pleased smile.

He would never consider someone who dislikes him as his girlfriend.

"What, can you feel my affection for you? If not, we can take it a step further."

"Let's talk about that kind of thing after we've been dating for a few months! Isn't it usually about holding hands first?"

Upon noticing that Aoyama's gaze had fallen on his lips, Kushida quickly covered his mouth and said...

She was already struggling to bear being carried on someone's back; any more and she felt like her heart was going to explode. She felt that what she heard from others was completely different from her own experience.

"Alright, alright, let's hold hands first." With a faint smile, Aoyama raised his right hand.

"Holding hands is allowed, but no other actions are permitted."

After hesitating for a moment, Kushida placed his hand in Aoyama's palm and then sat down next to him again.

"The plan is set and can't be changed, so can you please make this one last compromise?" Aoyama asked gently, holding Kushida's hand.

Since Kushida doesn't object to being his girlfriend, he will give Kushida enough respect.

The saying "love grows over time" is not just an empty phrase.

Even if Kushida became his girlfriend, she could still be threatened with her past misdeeds and not told him, and then betrayed.

He can only conclude that it's his own problem.

Chapter 181 A Date with Sakayanagi

The following day marked the second day that first-grade students returned to school.

Early in the morning, many first-grade students arrived at the Keyaki Mall in groups, indulging in unrestrained spending on what could be considered the first day of summer vacation.

After being ousted from her leadership position, Sakayanagi Arisu, now alone due to the change in class atmosphere, also makes a rare appearance in the Keyaki Mall.

However, she was not alone today; in fact, she was surrounded by students from Class A.

"Where are you going on your next date? You've fallen for your classmate."

Amidst the astonished gazes of many nearby students, Sakayanagi Arisu, the elegant little princess, placed her hand in the hand of the boy beside her, and the boy naturally took her hand in return.

Aoyama matched Sakayanagi's pace, saying, "I'm fine with anything, you just need to go wherever you want to go."

Yesterday, Kushida agreed to continue with the original plan, but the girl she was to steal from her boyfriend absolutely could not be Horikita Suzune.

Thus, Sakayanagi Arisu, a girl who didn't care about being slandered and who didn't care about him either, became the first candidate and was quickly promoted to the position.

Sakayanagi smiled smugly. "Is this considered compensation?"

She was originally thinking about how to improve Aoyama's favorability, but unexpectedly, someone delivered a helpful opportunity when she was just dozing off.

Bearing the infamy of stealing Kushida's boyfriend is, in a way, a small favor. If she can accumulate enough favors, she can earn the opportunity to face off against Ayanokoji.

"No, if you don't have anywhere you want to go, we can find a crowded place and sit there all day."

The purpose of accompanying Sakayanagi to the Keyaki Mall as a conspicuous package was simply to get the news to Nagumo's ears as quickly as possible, so Aoyama made no arrangements for the trip.

He had already explored the interesting places in the Keyaki Mall with the Yamamura and the Kamuro.

"Sit alone all day? What an unromantic man." Sakayanagi pondered for a moment. "How about an arcade? I've never been there before. Nishikawa and the others never took me."

"It was the right thing to not take you."

Aoyama glanced at Sakayanagi's right hand holding the cane; it looked small and weak, and he wondered if it could even lift the shooting gun in the arcade.

Basketball shooting machines don't work, rhythm games don't work, and VR shooting games don't work either.

If I go with Sakayanagi, I guess I can only try my hand at claw machines or go-kart games.

I want to go.

"Then let's go."

Holding her soft, boneless hand, amidst the envious gazes of many boys, Aoyama led Sakayanagi to the arcade. Upon entering, they were greeted by the familiar light pollution and noisy sounds.

At a glance, he saw several first-year students.

There were seven or eight people in total, including Ishizaki's group from Class C and Yamauchi's group Yamauchi Class D.

Sakayanagi frowned slightly. "It's noisier than I expected."

"It's much noisier outside, and the air is much more polluted." Aoyama led Sakayanagi to the front desk and bought some game tokens. "Is there anything you want to play, or should we look around first?"

Since it was Sakayanagi who wanted to come and play, he wouldn't take the initiative and would leave the decision-making power to Sakayanagi.

Sakayanagi's gaze fell on the various machines. "Let's take a look around first. I don't really know what's fun about them."

Since she had never been here before, she naturally didn't know what there was to do.

"Good."

Walking slowly through the hall, Sakayanagi would occasionally stop behind the students who were playing, and the boys, sensing that they were being watched, would become as serious as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

But Sakayanagi's steps never stopped because of their earnestness.

Are guys who play video games seriously handsome? No way!

Aoyama chuckled to himself as he gradually pulled away from the dejected boy, who was holding Sakayanagi's hand.

"It's even more boring than I imagined." Sakayanagi was a little disappointed. She felt that these games were too easy and had no challenge at all.

Aoyama casually suggested, "How about we go ride the kiddie rides at the mall entrance? I think those would suit you."

He thought that Sakayanagi might look pretty good riding in a rocking horse.

"If you hold me while I sit, I'll sit." Sakayanagi adopted a self-destructive fighting style.

Aoyama shook his head decisively, "Then forget it, I'll be seen as a pervert."

If he were to sit with Sakayanagi, he might hesitate, but sitting with Sakayanagi in his arms would be different; he would be seen as a pervert who forced Sakayanagi into sitting with him.

It inflicts 800 casualties on the enemy, but also 1800 casualties on itself.

"Aoyama Shiki, you cheated on me with Kushida! It's both enviable and infuriating!"

Just as Aoyama and Sakayanagi were exchanging barbs, Haruki Yamauchi, who had just been reminded by his teammates that GAMEOVER had spotted Aoyama and Yamauchi Haruki, immediately jumped out to accuse them.

Two of the Three Idiots who came with him, plus the nerdy guy from Sotomura, also stood behind him as if to show their support, looking at Aoyama with righteous indignation.

Not only did Aoyama steal away the most popular girl in their class, but he also cheated on them! They absolutely cannot stand for this!

They were all very unhappy, and there were many of them.

Although Aoyama looks very strong, even if it were a fight, the four of them against one would definitely not lose.

Aoyama probably thought the same thing, and didn't dare to speak loudly to them.

Faced with the four's annoyance and their desire to play a trick on them, Aoyama solemnly spouted nonsense, "Kikyo agreed."

"What! Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Yes, yes, it's all fake."

Yamauchi immediately wore an expression as if he had eaten shit, and Kanji Ike also suddenly felt utterly hopeless.

The fact that the adorable and kind Kushida and the elegant and beautiful princess-like Sakayanagi are both Aoyama's girlfriends is more painful for them than killing them.

The differences between people couldn't possibly be that great!

With a slight smile, Sakayanagi leaned against Aoyama. "It's true, I agree too."

"Impossible, impossible, this can't be true!" Yamauchi shouted, clutching his head. "Aoyama Shiki, we challenge you, right now!"

"Let's see who scores higher."

With a flick of his right arm, Yamauchi pointed to the machine he had just been playing with—a device resembling four sniper rifles, indicating that it was a shooting game for up to four players.

Aoyama had also played there when he came with Kamuro and the others.

Through his beret, Aoyama ruffled Sakayanagi's hair. "Mind if I waste a few minutes of your time, Arisu?"

He'd been walking around with Sakayanagi for so long without doing anything, and he was getting itchy to try it himself.

Moreover, it would be a fun thing to ravage a god-like person like Yamauchi.

"Of course, Shiki- kun," Sakayanagi replied with a smile, releasing Aoyama's hand, just like a couple deeply in love.

"I don't want to waste time, you can all come at me together."

After inserting the coin, Aoyama held a sniper rifle in each hand, holding them steadily without any apparent effort.

"Don't be so arrogant, Professor, let's crush him together." With a mix of smugness and anger, Yamauchi raised his guns with both hands and immediately called for top-level support.

With Sotomura being a gaming expert, how could Aoyama, a bookworm, possibly win?

Chapter 182 The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.

"Keep it up, Professor!"

"Haruki, give it your all! Don't lose!"

Standing behind his friend, Sudo wished he had a gun in his hand so he could help Yamauchi and his friend catch up.

At the start of the game, seemingly because he was unfamiliar with controlling a gun with one hand, his accuracy on the Aoyama was not high, and his score was not as good as the Yamauchi and Sotomura that he had played many times before.

Just a dozen seconds later, Aoyama seemed to have activated a cheat code, getting headshot after headshot with every single shot, without needing to fire a second shot at any of them.

"I've already done my best!!! If you're so good, then you do it, Key."

The game wasn't over yet. He glanced at Yamauchi Aoyama, who had scored a point, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Since we can't win anyway, rather than sitting idly by and letting Aoyama laugh at us, we might as well make a quick and decisive move.

"I suddenly need to pee, Kanji, you hold on for a bit."

Suddenly shouting, Yamauchi threw the gun at Kanji Ike before Kanji Ike answer, and ran towards the entrance in a flash.

The arcade's restrooms weren't in that direction at all.

Kanji Ike glanced at the scores displayed on the screen, then at the disappearing figure of Yamauchi, and decisively pressed his gun against the still-unresponsive Sudo Ken.
