Honestly, I'm Exhausted

"Don't involve me in your flirting."

Pouting, Nishino decisively rejected Morishita's plea for help. According to Aoyama, the one who did the bad thing first was the seemingly harmless Morishita.

"Ninomiya."

"I agree with Nishino- kun's opinion."

"Wang, classmate?"

"Um... sorry..."

Without anyone stopping him, Aoyama, like a mountain king, carried Morishita out of the room.

Although the students they encountered along the way gave them some strange looks, they didn't say much about it, since it was common knowledge that Morishita was one of his girlfriends.

"I was wrong." Morishita's voice came from behind.

"Where did we go wrong?"

Through the thin yukata, Aoyama pressed down on Morishita's knees, teasingly replying to Morishita who had taken the initiative to admit her mistake.

"I shouldn't have lied to Shiraishi -kun."

"To know one's mistake and then commit it is an even greater offense."

"Huh?! Isn't it supposed to be a lenient treatment if you turn yourself in?"

"You call this turning yourself in? You were just trying to run away, weren't you?"

Seeing that no one was around, Aoyama patted Morishita's rounded breasts, which were very close to his.

With a small gasp of surprise, he quickly led Morishita to the room where he had spent the night with Shiraishi the previous night.

"Turn off the lights." Morishita's voice became uneasy after being thrown onto the bed.

"How can turning off the lights be considered punishment?"

Under the bright incandescent light, the Aoyama looked down upon the Morishita, its eyes half-closed in a blush of shyness.

Compared to Shiraishi's magnanimity, which was no less than Kamuro's, Morishita's was a bit smaller, but there are advantages to both.

He liked it even when it was small.

Soon, the suggestive sounds that filled the room continued until late at night.

Finally, after punishing the person who had lied, Aoyama carried the limp, lifeless man into the bathroom.

"Damn it, Shiki."

After emerging from the bath, Morishita's beautiful eyes were half-closed as she let Aoyama blow-dry her hair.

After her hair was dried, she pushed Aoyama down onto the bed and gradually fell asleep on top of him.

Goodnight, Blue.

"Mmm--Goodnight."

After a weak murmur, Aoyama reached out and turned off the room light.

Hearing Morishita's barely audible breathing, he slowly closed his eyes as well.

The next morning.

After having breakfast delivered to their room with Morishita, the two lay back down on the bed and snuggled together.

Suddenly, Aoyama received an invitation from Karuizawa.

On this morning when it suddenly started snowing, many students went to the hotel courtyard to see the snow. A snowball fight was organized by someone from the Class Ichinose.

"Want to have a snowball fight?"

"I hate the cold." Morishita said, pulling the blanket over his head, indicating that he didn't want to go out at all.

"Then you should stay in your room and rest."

A sneak attack through the blanket, Aoyama left the room amidst Morishita's coquettish reproach.

Upon arriving at the courtyard where Karuizawa was, he discovered that the boys' fight had just subsided, and the victors were swaggering up to the losers, taking out their phones and asking them to scan a QR code to pay.

The loser pays the winner 1,000 points, which is considered a small, fun bet.

"It's too slow, it's already over." Karuizawa said with some disappointment. She wanted to see her boyfriend's heroic performance.

"I won't go on until it's over, that's too unfair." Aoyama put his hand on Karuizawa's head and ruffled it. "The boys' competition is over, so isn't it the girls' turn now?"

"Hmm, but there seem to be quite a few girls. I wonder if we can start a game."

For a moment, Karuizawa also felt the urge to make a good impression on Aoyama.

"That's easy, just increase the reward."

Taking out his phone, Aoyama posted a notification in the OAA's chat for everyone.

[In two minutes, a snowball fight will be held in the largest courtyard of the Hokkaido hotel, with participants in groups of five from each class.]

[The class that wins the final victory will receive one million personal points, personally sponsored by me.]

Upon noticing Aoyama's actions, Karuizawa said somewhat irritably, "No need to make such a fuss."

[Senior, remember to bring back souvenirs for your dear junior! ~smiley face.]

[You'll definitely get your share.]

"What's said is said, what's done is done, you can't go back on your word." While replying to Amasawa Ichika's message, Aoyama ruffled Karuizawa's hair. "Also, you should gather the team now."

If 100,000 points are divided among five people, that's 20,000 points. The appeal is good, but it's only good.

Therefore, he offered one million personal points as bait.

Within minutes, more and more girls gathered, eventually leading to ten teams signing up.

Class 2-A produced three teams, as did Class 2-C. However, due to the high number of dropouts in Second-Year Class D and Second-Year Class B, only two teams could be formed.

"Go Arisu! Go Masumi!"

"Good luck, Hiyori. Ibuki, whatever you want."

One by one, Aoyama cheered on his girlfriends.

Except for Morishita, who still didn't come, all his other girlfriends were there, especially Horikita and Sakayanagi, who looked eager to try it out.

"Since only the first place winner receives a prize, I'll decide the competition schedule myself instead of drawing lots."

"Class 2-A will face off against Class 2-C, and Second-Year Class D will face off against Second-Year Class B. The team that eliminates the opposing team first will automatically advance to the finals."

"The first match will be between Kamuro Secretary's team and Secretary Ichinose's team."

Surrounded by girls, Aoyama quickly decided the order of the battles.

Since he personally paid for all the rewards and showed no favoritism, the girls didn't have any objections.

The first snowball fight officially began in a swift and decisive manner.

"Go easy on me, Masumi." Standing in the snow-covered, poetic courtyard, Ichinose's gaze swept over Aoyama before settling on Kamuro.

"Let's attack Ichinose."

After confirming Ichinose's team composition, Kamuro chose to eliminate the general first.

As for students like Shiranami who are slow to react, keeping them on the field might cause trouble for Ichinose and Amikura.

"Then it seems we should attack Masumi first."

Ichinose smiled and bent down slightly.

They have Shiranami holding them back, and Kamuro also has Shiraishi holding them back.

Overall, their team strength is still the advantage.

Chapter 394 Honestly, it's super tiring

"Ichinose will win this time."

As Aoyama watched the battle from behind as the referee, a soft body embraced him.

Then, he felt two small hands emerge from his coat pocket.

"How do you know, lovely Kikyo- san?" Aoyama chuckled as he felt the intense pressure on his back.

Kushida declined Horikita's invitation to team up, citing his reluctance to use snowballs to attack others.

As for the reason why Kushida doesn't team up with Horikita, it can only be because she still dislikes Horikita, a girl who is somewhat similar to her true self but stronger than her.

"Ichinose can be a bit of a troublemaker sometimes, and their class's teamwork is much better than yours."

Kushida rested his cheek against Aoyama's back, enjoying the comfortable feeling of being noticed.

Just as she finished speaking, Amikura and Ichinose suddenly launched an attack on Shiraishi, who was nervously making snowballs.

Suddenly, Kamuro lost one of its snowballing offensive engines.

This disadvantage was quickly amplified as Ichinose and his friends chased after Yamamura, who was also making snowballs.

While their attack stalled, it intensified, and soon the Kamuro team was completely wiped out.

"Class 2-C Ichinose team wins. The next match will be between Second-Year Class B Shiina team and Second-Year Class D Horikita team."

After loudly announcing the results, Aoyama decided on the teams for the next match.

Because each team has two strong players, Ibuki and Horikita, he is very optimistic that one of these two teams will win the final victory.

Under his martial arts training, the two boys improved considerably and became very agile.

"Horikita will win this time."

Somewhat unwilling to accept this, Kushida offered his own prediction.

Based on her understanding of the members of both teams, Ibuki would definitely clash with Manabe after the situation turned unfavorable, while Horikita had Hasebe and Sakura who trained regularly, plus Matsushita had good physical abilities, making their team incredibly strong.

"That's not necessarily true." Aoyama disagreed with Kushida's prediction.

"Why?"

"Because Ibuki is stronger than Horikita, and that strength is overwhelming for Haruka and the others."

Ibuki, who doesn't have to be a slave to the student Student Council, works much harder than Horikita when it comes to training, and Horikita has recently reduced his study time as well.

It's hard to say whether Ibuki, exhausted from the fight, will win in a one-on-one duel with Horikita, or Horikita will snatch Ibuki's kill.

"It would be best if Horikita could lose."

"The darkness within has been exposed."

Kushida answered Kushida softly, Aoyama voice lowered, and rubbed his warm little hand in his pocket.

"Cold."

"That's why we need to find warmth from the adorable Kikyo."

Looking at Hasebe and the others laughing and fighting together on the field, Aoyama couldn't help but smile.

If it makes them happy, then spending that million is worthwhile.

"How can Ibuki be so strong? I'm so frustrated." Karuizawa pouted.

As time passed and the matches went on, Ichinose and Ibuki's team emerged as the last remaining team.

Although somewhat exhausted, Ibuki persevered to the end, eliminating Ichinose's team and becoming the final winner.

"That's all she's good at." Aoyama pinched the cheek of the girl who was full of resentment. As for Kushida, she went to comfort her friends the moment the match ended.

"Can I be as strong as Ibuki?"

"With a few years of hard training, he should be able to catch up."

"Then let's not." Shaking her head, Karuizawa held onto Aoyama's left arm, showing no intention of letting go.

"Shall we go shopping nearby? I need to buy some souvenirs for Ichika and the others."

If you go on a trip and don't bring back some Hokkaido specialties, Amasawa Ichika will complain.
