The First Sparks of Rebellion / Shirakawa's Sudden Visit

"I hope you can tell me what you think about Honami, who is filled with guilt."

Aoyama believes that neither Ichinose's mother nor her sister are bad people, given that they were able to raise such an outstanding daughter Ichinose Honami. He also hopes that Ichinose Honami can move on from the shadows of her past.

Since Ichinose Honami doesn't have the guts or the opportunity to ask, let him do it.

"I will convey this message to Honami safely. Also, here is three million yen, which Ichinose asked me to hand over."

"Kouiku..."

As they parted at the door, Aoyama used the same excuse to slip three million yen into Ichinose's mother's hand, hoping they could improve their lives.

"Honami's life at Kouiku is as affluent as the photos show. I think you wouldn't want Honami to feel guilty for being the only one doing well, would you, Auntie? And I'm really not lying, Honami still has a lot of money."

"Time waits for no one, I still have to deliver money to other classmates, goodbye."

He took out several envelopes from his bag, which looked like they contained money, and showed them to Aoyama. He Ichinose's Aoyama's attempts to persuade him to stay and quickly left to return to his car.

He was very satisfied with what he had just received.

As he expected, Ichinose's mother and sister did not harbor any resentment towards Ichinose because of the past theft. On the contrary, like Ichinose, they both felt that they were also at fault at the time.

I believe Ichinose after listening to the recording, Ichinose will be able to greatly overcome the trauma she experienced back then.

I've come to repay your favor, Ichinose Honami.

On the bus back to school, Aoyama's mind was filled with the image of Ichinose Honami's incredibly cute sleeping face.

Chapter 205 The Smoke of Rebellion

At Ichinose Dormitory at night.

Komako, you guys need to go back quickly. Aoyama has been back for over an hour.

Watching her best friend fooling around on her bed, Ichinose had a bad feeling for the first time.

In the afternoon, after taking the first step and inviting Amikura and Shiranami into the dormitory, she didn't wait for the two to ask the questions in their hearts, and instead told them all about her past thefts.

After she finished speaking, she expected to be scolded by the two men, but what she saw instead was the two men excitedly embracing her.

Without a word of blame, the two of them forgave her, and then said they needed to replenish the lost energy of the Xiao Fanbo over the past few days. They had been staying in her room since around 2 p. m. until now, at 8 p. m.

"It seems to have a flavor that doesn't belong to Xiao Fanbo."

Shiranami Chihiro, who was kicked onto the headboard of the bed during a playful moment, looked up from the bear's belly and instantly switched to a fighting expression after making eye contact with Amikura.

Shiranami buried his head back near the bear's body, and took a deep breath, accompanied by an unpleasant sound.

This smell seems familiar... where have I smelled it before?

"It feels so familiar," Shiranami murmured to himself, deep in thought.

In the quiet room, these words were naturally heard by Amikura and Ichinose, and Ichinose's expression immediately became unnatural.

"Xiao Fanbo, tell me the truth! Who is it?" Amikura's face was full of excitement as he stared intently at Ichinose. "I remember you used to put this doll in the closet. Why did you suddenly take it out?"

If the person who provided the flavor were a girl, she believed Ichinose wouldn't hesitate and would inform them immediately.

The presence of a male scent in Ichinose's room is a huge deal.

Amikura was certain of itself; it had caught a whiff of romance.

"Could it be that Chihiro smelled it wrong? It should be the smell of wood from the wardrobe." Ichinose's face clearly showed that I was lying.

"If you're going to lie, Xiao Fanbo, you're a hundred years too young."

Jumping off the bed, Amikura grabbed Ichinose's arm and pulled her onto the bed. Eager to know the answer, Shiranami also grabbed Ichinose's other arm the Ichinose she sat down on the edge of the bed.

More than the Amikura, Shiranami wanted to know who that familiar taste came from.

"We won't let you go unless you tell us."

"Yes." Amikura rubbed her cheek against Ichinose's. "Tell me, Xiao Fanbo, it's been so long since I've talked about love with anyone."

Despite having no dating experience, she loves talking about relationships.

A boy might appear in Xiao Fanbo 'Xiao Fanbo room.

Seeing that Ichinose was full of hesitation and did not even refute, Shiranami became more certain of his guess, and the images of the boys in his class kept filtering through his mind.

Suddenly, an idea struck her, and a look of shock immediately appeared on her face.

"It smells like that big bad guy Aoyama!"

"Aoyama is a bastard who only knows how to cheat on girls."

Shiranami understood why he was familiar with the taste and immediately spoke up. At the same time, Miyabi Nagumo was also in her room and spoke to Kanzaki had a cold expression on his face.

The gap in campaign funds forced Nagumo to turn his attention to the first-year students, trying to create as many enemies as possible for Aoyama in order to gain more votes at the lowest cost.

He felt there was no need to waste time on the other three classes in the second grade.

His status as the leader of Class A became an obstacle to his election Student Council President. The other three classes, on which Aoyama had placed his hopes for promotion, had no chance of being persuaded before he failed.

As for the third-year students, who are too far away to be of any use, it goes without saying that whether the Student Council President is a first-year or a second-year student is irrelevant to them.

They vote for whoever pays the most money.

"First it was Horikita Suzune from Class 1-D, then Shiina Hiyori from Class 1-C, and finally Ichinose Honami from your class." Nagumo said, playing a video for Kanzaki on his tablet.

The video was compiled from clips and edits taken from several days of footage captured by security cameras on a female dormitory floor's corridor.

"The students in Class B are unacceptable, but Aoyama is, and he's been staying this late for several days now."

"Do you think your class leaders have already been completely captured by Aoyama?"

Horikita Suzune, Shiina Hiyori, and Ichinose Honami share a striking commonality: they are all the most influential girls in their respective classes.

Aoyama's ability to cause trouble in the first grade was inseparable from the help of the girls around him.

"Sowing discord won't work on me." Kanzaki's thoughts were churning, but he didn't show it on his face. He cared a lot about the relationship between Aoyama and Ichinose, but he also understood that Nagumo was stirring up trouble.

"Heh, if you really didn't care, you would just laugh it off and pretend you didn't hear it."

Nagumo didn't hide his thoughts, or rather, it was impossible for him to hide them. His competition with Aoyama was already out in the open, attracting the attention of many students and even most teachers.

"I'll ask you a very simple question, Kanzaki." A smile appeared on Nagumo's face. "Now Aoyama is the leader of Class A, right? And Sakayanagi has submitted to him."

Katsuragi nominated Aoyama to take the top spot, and Sakayanagi and Aoyama played intimately in the Keyaki Mall. This means that Class A has ended its split, and the one who took the top spot is still Aoyama, who has a strong track record and has never been taken advantage of.

Even if Ichinose becomes his girlfriend, given his personality, he'll still attack your class as usual.

"But would Ichinose be willing to fight Aoyama for the sake of you students who won't even let you see them?"

"This is a souvenir from the amusement park that your sister bought for you, and this is a letter she wrote to you."

Upon inquiring with Ichinose, Aoyama learned that Amikura and Shiranami were still in her room. Thinking it best to deal with Katsuragi's matter first, Aoyama visited Katsuragi's room and presented him with a gift prepared by his sister.

Since they are twins, they naturally share the same birthday.

"Your sister is much cuter than you. She seems to be doing well, has friends at school, and doesn't have a boyfriend yet," Aoyama continued as Katsuragi read the letter.

Anyway, even if he doesn't say it, Katsuragi will definitely ask later.

"What do you mean by 'no boyfriend yet'? Did you ask yourself or did Kyoko say it herself?" Suddenly looking up, Katsuragi stared at Aoyama with a very serious expression.

He sensed his sister was in danger; Aoyama's womanizing ways were well-known in first grade.

Aoyama chuckled, somewhat annoyed. "It was Sakayanagi who asked; she went too."

Katsuragi's wariness was undisguised; it would be strange if he didn't understand Katsuragi's meaning—he was simply worried that Ge Cheng would flirt with his younger sister.

Is he that kind of person?

Although Katsuragi Anko is also very cute and has a good personality, she would definitely be a virtuous wife if married.

"Sakayanagi... I hope she didn't corrupt Kyoko." Katsuragi had a new worry.

"Next time I see your sister, I'll definitely tell her that her brother is an incurable siscon."

"You're still thinking about seeing my sister again?!"

"Of course, and happy birthday too! I've already given you a gift." Aoyama walked to the entrance and opened the door. "As for what the gift is, you'll find out on your graduation day."

Goodbye, future brother-in-law.

After speaking quickly, Aoyama closed the door.

Chapter 206 The Sudden Arrival of Shiranami

Would you like some pudding?

"Ah... no need."

"Don't mention it, we've hugged each other before, after all."

Aoyama opened the refrigerator, took out two puddings, and sat back down at the dining table. He placed one of them in front of Shiranami.

After leaving Katsuragi and returning to his room, there was a knock on his door. When he opened it, he was met with Shiranami Chihiro, who looked like she had come to confront him.

But as soon as he entered the room and sat down, for some reason, Shiranami became as timid and hesitant as a quail, not saying a word.

While enjoying the cold, sweet pudding, Aoyama stared at Shiranami's ever-changing expression, seemingly lost in thought, until he finished the pudding Shiranami finally made a move.

"Can you please let Xiao Fanbo go and stop going near her? In return, I'll do whatever you say."

Shiranami walked over to Aoyama and straddled him, proving with his actions that what he said was not false.

While taking photos on the cruise ship deck, she noticed that Ichinose had feelings for Aoyama, but because of his girlfriend Kushida, she didn't think that Ichinose would do anything out of line given his personality.

She later discovered she was wrong.

After it was discovered that the scent belonged to Aoyama, Ichinose protected Aoyama in every way, completely ignoring Amikura's complaints about his lack of ambition, and showing no intention of distancing herself from Aoyama.

Since Ichinose doesn't intend to distance himself from Aoyama, then Aoyama has no choice but to distance himself from Ichinose.

"Impossible."

Aoyama was surprised that Shiranami bombshell, but he quickly rejected Shiranami's proposal and made no attempt to hide his covetousness for Ichinose.

He was a womanizer, but he never resorted to coercion. True happiness came from both emotional and physical attraction.

Otherwise, with his looks and abilities, he could change girlfriends every week, and a whole semester wouldn't have passed without him truly taking over the Yamamura.

Shiranami's expression darkened. "If you could be a little more focused, then..."

"That's impossible." Aoyama interrupted Shiranami directly, pulling her off him and setting her aside. "I'm a greedy man; don't have unrealistic expectations of me."

"So, Aoyama, do you... like me?"

You're asking me if I like you? How did the conversation suddenly veer towards this?

Aoyama looked at Shiranami, who was standing beside him, with a very complicated expression, completely bewildered.

The weather is still quite hot, and Shiranami is dressed rather lightly today. Her light blue dress adds to her cuteness, and her fine gray over-the-knee socks accentuate the beautiful curves of her calves.

With her innocent, slightly chubby face and delicate deep blue eyes, Shiranami is an overall very cute girl.

Others might think he's a bit thin, but Aoyama doesn't mind. There are advantages to being big and advantages to being small.

"I guess I like you. I used to always compliment you on how cute you are. I like all cute things, and you're very cute, Shiranami." Aoyama voiced his thoughts.

A fleeting look of joy crossed Shiranami's face. "In that case, is it okay for me to be your girlfriend?"

"If it's just for Ichinose, I don't think I need to agree."

With a helpless smile, Aoyama stood up and went directly behind Shiranami, pushing her back as they walked towards the entrance.

The plot, which resembled coercion, left him speechless.

"You're not quite clear-headed right now. Calm down for a couple of days, think it over carefully, and then talk to me about it after summer vacation."

"I am very calm now."

"I don't care what you think, I care what I think. If you don't want to be seen by other students, go back now."

Using his all-purpose phrase, Aoyama escorted Shiranami to the door, then closed it as Shirabo pouted.

Did Chihiro come looking for you?

"I found her, and just sent her back to her dorm."
