That Despicable Flirt / Everyone Takes Action

Yamamura smiled at Hasebe to welcome him and sat down on the side of the table where no one was sitting.

"This is Airi's friend, Hasebe Haruka from Class 1-D," Aoyama began the introductions.

"This is the dashing and adorable Student Council Secretary, Kamuro Masumi. I'm sure you recognize her."

Kamuro nudged Aoyama's shoulder irritably. "Don't use so many adjectives."

"Yes, yes, this is Yamamura Miki from Class 1-A. Her academic ability is among the top in the first year. You can ask her if you don't understand something."

After Aoyama finished his introduction with a smile, he didn't expect the few people who weren't good at communicating to immediately start chatting happily, so he continued to lead the study session.

During the break after 10 o'clock, he took out cakes from the refrigerator and distributed them to Kamuro and the others according to their tastes, and then gave them to Hasebe to choose from.

"Hasebe, where are you from again?" Aoyama started a conversation while eating cake.

Although Kouiku is a school in the Tokyo metropolitan area, it also has some students from outside Tokyo, just like Katsuragi.

With an outsider present, and none of the four being particularly adept at conversation, he had no choice but to initiate the conversation. After all, the atmosphere would only become increasingly tense if the five of them ate cake in silence.

What's Honami, with her exceptional social skills, up to now?

Aoyama felt it was time to bring Ichinose into the study group, but designing small rooms for individual students would be too cramped for six people.

Buy the right to use a student dormitory room from the school, then move the bed out?

If you remove the bed, which is in the way, and place a large study desk in the center of the room, you can easily accommodate two or three more students.

You don't need to go to an open place like a library, and privacy is guaranteed.

[Mr. Mashima, what is the price for renting or purchasing the right to use a dormitory room from the school?]

Aoyama, who acts on impulse and is full of energy, immediately increased the workload for the class teacher.

Chapter 227 That Despicable Heartbreaker

It's finally time! I wonder if Aoyama has finished reading the book I recommended last week?

After combing her hair in front of the full-length mirror in her dorm room, and finding nothing amiss, Shiina walked out of the room with anticipation.

Walking down the familiar school corridor, she felt her steps were much lighter than usual.

Although she could see Aoyama at the Student Council regularly, the atmosphere Student Council was far from relaxed due to Horikita Manabu's strict control. The recent clashes between Nagumo and Aoyama only exacerbated the situation.

But did Kamuro become Aoyama's girlfriend?

Thinking about how the two of them had recently started calling each other by their first names, Shiina felt a little downcast, and her eyelids drooped slightly.

She knew Aoyama was popular, but she didn't expect that Kushida, number one, would announce their breakup. On the same day, Kamuro and Aoyama addressed each other by their first names, and their eye contact was much closer than before.

"Bite--"

With a ding, the elevator descended to the lobby on the first floor.

Composing herself and smiling, Shiina stepped out of the elevator. Soon she saw Aoyama and Aoyama waiting in the lobby. Aoyama was holding Yamamura's hand, making the shy Yamamura blush.

"Shiina has arrived, Shiki."

Upon seeing Shiina appear on the elevator clock, Yamamura immediately offered a pitiful reminder.

After being reminded, Aoyama looked up at Shiina and smiled, but he did not let go of Yamamura's hand.

"Since you're here, let's set off together, Shiina."

"Ah... okay."

After a moment of hesitation, Shiina nodded and started walking, bypassing Aoyama and following beside Yamamura.

In the past, she would always accompany the Yamamura, one on the left and one on the right, following the Aoyama. But now, that seems a bit inappropriate.

She knew that Yamamura and Sakayanagi were different. When Aoyama walked with Yamamura in public, it could only mean that Aoyama had chosen Yamamura.

"Congratulations." Walking towards the library, Shiina congratulated them after composing herself.

While Kamuro was only suspected to be highly probable, here it's a direct confirmation.

"Well, it's just a matter of letting things take their course." Aoyama raised the hand he was holding that of Yamamura. "As Shiina thought, Miki is already mine, but not only Miki, Masumi is too."

After Hasebe confronted Sakura on her behalf, he no longer intended to hide his relationships with the girls from everyone.

Anyway, since there's more than one girl publicly involved, the other students won't blame Yamamura and the others. Kushida, the little angel who stole his love, is a bad woman, and all the blame will be directed at this scumbag.

However, it's impossible to have a harem without being criticized.

"Kamuro too?!" Upon hearing that another friend of hers was also in the same boat, Shiina was momentarily at a loss for words.

Speculation is speculation, and certainty is certainty; they are completely different things.

Although she had guessed that Aoyama wouldn't choose one alone, she still found it hard to believe when the facts were actually presented to her.

Moreover, judging from Aoyama's usual behavior towards her, she estimated that if she nodded, Aoyama would most likely accept her.

"Yeah, so Shiina doesn't need to avoid me like last time. They won't take it to heart." Right in front of Shiina, Aoyama kissed Yamamura's soft, white hand. "Right, Miki?"

Yamamura shyly turned her head away and said bashfully, "... Yes, we've all accepted Aoyama like this."

Being treated intimately by Aoyama in front of her friends was incredibly embarrassing for her, but she also felt a surge of happiness.

"I don't even know what to say," Shiina murmured.

Aoyama spoke gently, "Then just do it the same as usual."

"That's the only way."

After pondering for a while, Shiina realized she couldn't bring herself to blame Aoyama for being such a scumbag. She sighed and decided to put the matter aside for now, focusing on her reading commitment for the day before thinking about it further.

They walked in silence for a short while before arriving at the library, where, as usual, Shiina recommended new books.

"I'll be sad if Shiina decides to break off our friendship."

After spending several hours reading together, when they parted at the library entrance, Aoyama spoke to Shiina, who had seemed Shiina since they met.

Although he felt that given Shiina's personality, there was a very small chance he would do such a thing, he couldn't help but say it anyway.

"I'm the same way, you wretched womanizer."

With a faint smile, Shiina waved goodbye to Aoyama and Yamamura, then slowly disappeared from their sight.

"Shiki really likes Shiina, doesn't she?" Yamamura joked with a smile.

"I'll like her as much as I like Miki."

Seeing that Yamamura was much more confident and even dared to joke about him now, Aoyama smiled and put his arm around Yamamura's shoulder. Amidst the surprised looks of students they encountered on the road, they went to the supermarket to buy groceries like a couple.

That night, he stayed overnight in the Yamamura dormitory again.

Sunday.

"Aoyama said he likes me, but I haven't replied and I don't know what to do."

In the third-year dormitory, Horikita Manabu, hiding his surprise, welcomed his younger sister, who had suddenly appeared outside the door, into his room early in the morning.

Since he came to disturb our meeting without prior notice, he figured something serious must have happened.

In fact, it was a huge deal for him, because his lovely younger sister had been targeted by that bastard Aoyama, and according to his sister, she hadn't immediately refused.

What should we do? How can we best support Suzune's growth?

Horikita Manabu began to feel anxious and insecure. In accordance with his usual approach to Horikita Suzune, when his younger sister came to him for help and asked what to do, he would simply refuse and dismiss her, and before doing so, he would make a sarcastic remark.

What a fool! You can't even handle something this simple. How can you be worthy of being his sister? You need to work harder and grow up.

"Wait a minute, I have something to take care of." Horikita Manabu felt he needed to think things through before giving an answer.

"Ah... okay."

Hearing her brother say that he should go ahead with his work, Horikita Suzune, who had been feeling uneasy, breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly.

It wasn't until she entered the room that she felt regretful, realizing that it would be unreasonable for her brother not to scold her for disturbing him with such a 'trivial' matter as romance.

Fortunately, seeing his brother's expression, he wasn't angry.

Should we intervene? If we do, should we support or oppose it? Would dating someone like Aoyama be good or bad for Suzune's development?

Sitting at his desk, Horikita Manabu was multitasking, pretending to work while thinking about how to reply to his younger sister.

Having never been in a relationship, he really didn't understand what dating was all about.

Although some of his classmates were in relationships, he knew that people were different from one another.

"I'll reject him and call Aoyama to tell him it's my decision." After a while, Horikita Manabu made his decision and spoke.

Based on his life experience, he couldn't judge whether this was good or bad, but he could use it to his advantage if Horikita Suzune went against his wishes and chose to date Aoyama.

This will turn out to be a good thing.

"This..."

"Are you not going to listen to me, Suzune?"

Horikita Manabu pushed up his glasses and looked coldly at his younger sister.

Chapter 228 Their Own Actions

"I'll give you all the votes from Third-Year Class A. You can do me this favor, right?" Horikita Manabu's voice came through the phone.

"No problem, of course no problem."

In the empty student dormitory, Aoyama directed the staff to arrange and install tables and chairs while making a deal with Horikita Manabu on the other end of the phone.

He hadn't expected Horikita Suzune to be so adorable that she went straight to ask her brother what to do.

Hearing the deal proposed by Horikita Manabu, he understood that Horikita Manabu wanted to use him so that his worrying younger sister, Horikita Suzune, would no longer blindly follow his shadow and completely obey him without having her own opinions.

"Even if the chairman hadn't proposed the deal, I would have done it anyway," Aoyama added.

How could he possibly allow Horikita Suzune to become his person and still completely obey her older brother?

"That's for the best. I heard you rented another room in the first-year dormitory building?"

"The president's information network is really impressive. I'm planning to organize a study session with more people; the bed in the room is getting in the way."

Opening the balcony door, Aoyama stepped outside and took a breath of fresh air.

He rented a dormitory room on the girls' floor. The room, which was more than ten floors high, had a view of the sea and the air was better than on the lower floors.

"Suzune is both strong and weak, so please keep an eye on her."

"Understood, I will keep a close eye on Suzune."

He replied peacefully. After ending his call with Horikita Manabu, Aoyama went back to his room after enjoying the cool breeze for a while. A two-meter by one-and-a-half-meter wooden rectangular table was already placed in the center of the room.

??????????????????????

In addition to the matching stools, there is also a comfortable-looking soft sofa in the corner of the room.

"Thanks for your hard work."

After thanking the staff who had finished their work, and once everyone had left, Aoyama took out his phone and recorded a 360-degree video of the room before sending it to the others, including Kamuro.

[Are you free this afternoon to go shopping for new room decorations for my study?]

The room, furnished only, didn't look empty, but it lacked a sense of human presence. He planned to decorate it to make it more cozy, so that it would be more comfortable to study.

[Available.]

[Available.]

I don't want to go out.

Before long, Aoyama received replies from several girls, with Kamuro remaining as indifferent as ever.

I wonder what the Kamuro room is like.

Aoyama realized he hadn't entered the Kamuro room yet and planned to raid it another time he had the chance.

The following day marked the second week of school.

As soon as Aoyama entered the classroom, he was met with envious glances from many boys.

He knew what was going on. Yesterday afternoon, the group that accompanied him to the Keyaki Mall consisted of four girls, making it a group of five, which was not small and naturally attracted the attention of many students.
