Father's Resignation, Son's Smile / Disciplining Morishita

"Yes, that's how much I love Asuka."

With her gentle, older sister-like demeanor and mysterious aura, the beautiful Shiraishi is popular with many boys in Class 2-A.

Aoyama, whose tastes are no different from those of any other boy, naturally wouldn't dislike Shiraishi.

Supporting the shy girl's soft waist, he helped her sit sideways on his body. Aoyama's free hands moved downwards, interlacing with her delicate white hands, while the other hand traced the smooth texture of her kimono, stroking upwards over her fair and flawless nape of the neck, and finally landing on her soft hair.

I love you, Asuka.

"... Me too."

Sensing what was about to happen, Shiraishi gripped Aoyama's hand tightly and closed her eyes shyly.

She suddenly felt that she might as well let him do as he pleased, since she was already planning to hand the person over to him anyway.

"It's a little too cute."

Softly murmuring, Aoyama grasped the two slightly parted petals, soft like jelly.

Her eyes were tightly closed, her long, neat eyelashes trembled slightly, and her rapid breathing came out almost imperceptibly. Her warm little hand pressed against his chest. All of this made Aoyama even more eager to chase after the entangled, moist little red snake.

Under the warm yellow light of the spotlight, the two gradually moved from their sitting position to the center of the bed.

"Don't keep staring like that."

"So shy..."

The little Shiraishi has transformed into a little white sheep, Shiraishi one hand across its heart and the other across its beautiful eyes.

"Just how cute do you have to be, Asuka?"

Admiringly, Aoyama bent down and once again blocked Shiraishi's ability to speak.

Then the spear shot out like a dragon.

9:00 AM the next day.

Amidst the somewhat strange looks from Mori Nene and Himeno, Aoyama led Shiraishi by the hand and boarded the bus.

Just like the pre-trip briefing, today, although they were still traveling, they were also assigned tasks.

Before 5 p. m., they need to visit six of the fifteen tourist attractions in Hokkaido, any combination is fine.

The group is only considered complete if all members take photos at the attraction; only then is the visit considered finished.

Only those who complete this task will be given another day of free time tomorrow; otherwise, they will have to stay at the hotel for full-day classes.

"I need 30,000 personal points." Ryuen looked at Aoyama seriously.

After being dropped off at the starting point, the group received a tourist guidebook made by the school, in which each attraction would earn them different points.

If you accumulate 20 points, you will receive a reward of 30,000 personal points per person.

Aoyama gently stroked the smooth, long hair of Shiraishi beside him and said, "I don't want to overwork myself today, so I'll treat myself to a meal as a reward."

He had a fierce battle with Shiraishi last night, which lasted quite a while, so Shiraishi still looked a little tired.

This time, the rules prohibit taking taxis, so if you want to visit several highly-rated attractions that are not close to each other, a long and tiring journey is inevitable.

"How about we go to the nearest Maruyama Zoo first? I checked last night and there's a direct bus there, plus they have polar bears to see."

After everyone tacitly agreed to Aoyama's suggestion, Himeno was the first to propose a place to visit.

Instead of following her close students, she was more proactive in expressing her needs when facing strangers.

"You each decide on one attraction to make a total of six, and Asuka and I can go anywhere." Aoyama tacitly agreed with Himeno's suggestion, offering a relatively fair suggestion.

He had read the tourist brochure but didn't find any particular place he wanted to visit. He asked Shiraishi and found he had the same idea.

After hearing Aoyama's description of Ryuen, he immediately spoke up, "Shiretoko Peninsula."

He would rather see wild animals and pristine landscapes at World Natural Heritage sites than animals kept in captivity.

"Noboribetsu Onsen."

"Lake Akan."

"..."

One by one, the group quickly named the attractions they wanted to visit.

Based on the location of the attractions, the order of priority was quickly determined.

Himeno wanted to see the Maruyama Zoo, a zoo that hosts polar bears, and it was chosen as her final destination because it was closest to her hotel.

Chapter 392 The father says goodbye and the son laughs

"Can you beat it, Aoyama?"

As the afternoon progressed, around four o'clock, Aoyama and his group arrived at their final destination, Maruyama Zoo.

After taking a group photo of the eight of them outside the polar bear enclosure, as required by the rules, they entered the enclosure.

Through the silver metal fence and the deep ditch, a polar bear, looking somewhat lazy, was slowly strolling in the snow.

"Wrapped up completely."

Without specifying whether the polar bear died or he himself died, Aoyama chuckled softly, holding Shiraishi's hand.

He made no attempt to hide the fact that his relationship with Shiraishi had progressed further; he held Shiraishi's warm little hand all day.

"I feel like I can jump across this ditch," Ibuki suddenly said.

The trench that prevented the polar bear from escaping didn't look very wide; given her physical abilities, she could easily jump over it with a running start.

Speechless at Ibuki's comment, Himeno rolled her eyes. "If you want to be eaten, then jump over there."

Despite their cute and cuddly appearance, polar bears are by no means gentle in their behavior.

Ibuki retorted directly, "I was just saying, I'm not really that overconfident. Aoyama, on the other hand, might be a possibility."

She's just belligerent, not stupid; with her small frame, one slap would land her in the hospital.

"Should I try it out for you?" Aoyama interrupted, stopping the two from arguing further.

I think I'd better not.

Upon noticing that Aoyama's left hand had moved, Ibuki also had a premonition that her Facebreaker.

She decisively chose to answer from the heart.

"It's about time we went."

After seeing the polar bears and penguins, Aoyama suggested ending the trip.

After walking around and having fun for six or seven hours, it's time to go back and rest, and enjoy the buffet prepared by the school.

Overall, they were quite satisfied with their trip today.

On the other side.

In the White Room, where security personnel had suddenly increased significantly, Ayanokoji Atsuomi finally obtained detailed information about what had happened at the Oba Group's hideout through a special channel.

Six people are missing, eighteen were shot dead, and the leader of the Oba Group, Oba, was also burned to death in the raging fire.

The surveillance footage was completely destroyed and there was no possibility of reconstructing it. The killer's scent, footprints, and other traces were also completely burned away, making it impossible to determine anything.

Most importantly, they found only eighteen bullet casings at the scene, meaning the murderer likely fired only eighteen shots, each hitting the throat and killing the victim instantly.

Is it Aoyama Shiki?

With a furrowed brow, Ayanokoji Atsuomi leaned back silently in his office chair, his hands resting on the armrests in deep thought.

If it weren't Oba the phone call from Oba that lured him there, he wouldn't have connected such an outrageous thing with an ordinary student.

He would assume that the Oba Group had offended some incredibly powerful figure, which was why they were wiped out and eliminated in an instant.

If it really is Aoyama Shiki, then could he have connected the Oba Group with me? Did Oba reveal this to Aoyama before Oba died, and was he the one who interfered?

Assuming that Aoyama really did this, and that Aoyama knows he was behind it, then he's in real danger now.

"Summon Kiyotaka to me."

After a long while, Ayanokoji Atsuomi picked up the internal phone on the table.

Not long after, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, who always maintained a blank expression, appeared in Ayanokoji Atsuomi's office.

"Starting tomorrow, someone will take you to the shooting range to learn marksmanship." Reluctantly, Ayanokoji Atsuomi personally fitted fangs into Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, this genius among geniuses.

With his monstrous learning speed, becoming a sharpshooter wouldn't be difficult.

You can keep him with you as a bodyguard when the time comes.

Can I ask why this is?

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was full of doubts. In the more than ten years he had grown up in the White Room, he had never been allowed to touch anything called a gun.

Meanwhile, Ayanokoji Atsuomi was constantly worried that he would lose control and retaliate against White Room, so he prevented him from learning this skill that would allow him to be unafraid of being ganged up on.

"I might have offended a sharpshooter, perhaps the one who shot Tsukishiro."

"The underworld organization I entrusted with the task was wiped out the moment I made my move yesterday; only a small fraction of its members survived because they weren't in their hideout."

Ayanokoji Atsuomi suddenly realized that the sniper who killed Tsukishiro was also a sharpshooter, as his sniping distance was not short at all.

Rather than believing that Aoyama could suddenly strike and kill everyone with a single shot, he was more inclined to believe that Aoyama might have some powerful backer, such as having an affair with the daughter of a top-tier power behind the scenes, and thus gaining their attention and protection.

He reviewed Aoyama's academic progress from elementary to junior high school many times and also asked his classmates for advice and investigation.

Undoubtedly, Aoyama was normal from elementary to junior high school, but things changed after he entered Kouiku. He went from being just a bright student to a superhuman who excelled in both academics and sports.

"It's Aoyama Shiki n't it?" Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's voice remained indifferent.

After returning from the cultural festival, one of Ayanokoji Atsuomi's bodyguards asked him about his impression of the Student Council President of the Kouiku during his free time.

Through his probing questions, he also learned that Ayanokoji Atsuomi had not only been slapped by Aoyama, but had also been chased away like a drowned rat.

When Tsukishiro was mentioned being assassinated, his first thought was that Ayanokoji Atsuomi's current panic was related to Aoyama.

Plan before you act, and know when to stop to gain something.

Based on his understanding of Aoyama's personality, the only reason he would treat Ayanokoji Atsuomi this way is because, in his eyes, Ayanokoji Atsuomi is no longer a threat to him.

Because they lack the ability to harm themselves, they can humiliate others at will.

How did you know?

Ayanokoji Atsuomi's expression turned serious. Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, who was only temporarily serving as an educator, shouldn't know what was going on outside.

It's impossible to know the name Aoyama Shiki based solely on the information in the White Room.

"God knows."

Ayanokoji Atsuomi Ayanokoji Kiyotaka he had no intention of answering Ayanokoji Atsuomi.

Although he had opposed Aoyama a few times in Kouiku, his crimes were not capital offenses, and he did not have the power of Ayanokoji Atsuomi to endanger the people around Aoyama.

It's highly likely he won't die from Aoyama's purge.

If it really Aoyama who storms into the White Room, should I strike first and offer up this man's head?

Looking at Ayanokoji Atsuomi's grim expression, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka began to think deeply.

As long as he's the one who laughs last, that's all that matters. This is the philosophy instilled in him by the man in front of him, named Ayanokoji Atsuomi, who is actually his father.

Only those who are alive can laugh.

Therefore, the most important thing is to live, and as long as he can live, the death of Ayanokoji Atsuomi is not important at all.

Chapter 393: Punishing Morishita

"You know perfectly well what good deeds you've done."

"I'm taking this person with me. You don't need to wait for her to come back to sleep."

After returning to the hotel and having a buffet together, Aoyama watched as Shiraishi and the other girls went back to their dorm to rest.

After checking Morishita's GPS location on his phone, he knocked on the door and barged into Morishita's group's room. He then grabbed Morishita, who was trying to escape, and hoisted him onto his shoulder.

True to his word, he'll make Morishita reflect on his actions tonight.

Anyway, tomorrow is free time, so there's plenty of time and we don't need to meet at 9 o'clock.

"Help me, Nishino- kun!" Morishita out for help, straining to look up at the surprised-looking gyaru.
