Want to Take a Day Off? Sure~ / Spill the Details-I Love This Kind of Gossip

The male dorm manager spoke as he pulled her into his arms, then began licking her with his tongue.

Like a dog, he licked her from top to bottom.

He was proving through his actions that he was her faithful lapdog. But...

Are you sure you're not planning to go again?

"Shoko."

"Hmm?"

"What should I do? I'm getting worked up again."

"Get lost!"

"I'm serious. Let me take care of it one more time."

"Get lost!"

"How about here, then?"

"Get lost, you pervert! Is that even clean? You can't just pick... For fuck's sake, stop! Are you asking for a beating, you bastard? You disgusting pervert!"

She hammered the male dorm manager's back with her fists, finally making him stop his sinful hands from reaching over there.

"Go to sleep. I'm tired."

"Then I'll..."

"Take care of it yourself."

"Oh."

Watching the male dorm manager walk off dejectedly to the bathroom to take care of things himself, Ryuen Shoko snorted.

Men were all pigs. They only cared about getting off.

She knew it. This guy wasn't a dog at all; he was an ungrateful wretch. He kept calling himself her dog just to trick a meek little lamb.

Training a dog wasn't just about feeding it; you had to beat it, too. She needed to use a stick to make sure he understood what she wanted.

So the next day...

"Arf! Boss, stop twisting it! It hurts, it really hurts! Arf!"

"That's what you get for being disloyal and sneaking around behind my back. If your loyalty isn't absolute, then you're absolutely disloyal. Now die!"

The two of them were at it again in the classroom, engaging in their usual daily brawl.

Ryuen Shoko pinned the male dorm manager firmly against a desk and continued tormenting his arm.

"Um... Ryuen..."

"Be quiet. This time, you have no business interrupting."

Shiina had wanted to try to talk her down, but she wasn't sure what to do with Ryuen Shoko looking so angry. If she was really angry, it didn't seem like it; she wasn't just beating him up outright, which didn't seem like something she'd do if she were truly mad.

But if she was only pretending to be angry, then the way she was pinning him down didn't look like playacting either.

She couldn't make heads or tails of it. She felt like she just couldn't keep up with the two of them anymore.

"Shiina, speaking of this list... Huh?! Your Class C likes this sort of thing?"

Ichinose was talking as she walked in through the door. When she saw Ryuen roughing up the male dorm manager in the classroom, she gaped, at a loss for words.

"Chukai-kun, you're into this sort of thing?"

"No, I'm not! Help me, please... Ow, ow! Boss, I know I was wrong! I really do! Arf!"

Chapter 85: Want to Take a Day Off? Sure~

"Behave yourself."

In the end, Ryuen Shoko sat on the male dorm manager. As she looked down at him, seeming on the verge of death beneath her, Ichinose blinked rapidly.

Hmm... It looked kind of fun?

An outside observer could see clearly. Rather than one person punishing the other, it looked more like a couple playfully bickering.

Anyway, when Ichinose saw the male dorm manager occasionally crack open an eye to check whether Ryuen was about to let him off, she could tell the two of them were close.

It seemed like the male dorm manager sometimes liked to... clown around?

For one thing, he was always yelping. Honestly, it couldn't hurt that much; he could grit his teeth and bear it.

But he didn't. Not only did he make a fuss, he screamed bloody murder. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was about to have a limb amputated.

"You two are really close. Have you started dating?"

"Dating? Hah, no."

Ryuen Shoko folded her arms and bounced a little, making the male dorm manager beneath her feel like he was about to cough up blood.

Ryuen wasn't some delicate little girl. With her weight pressing down on him, she was pretty heavy.

Ryuen Shoko didn't admit to dating the male dorm manager. What did dating mean? Two people on equal footing, looking after, caring for, and loving each other—that was dating.

Her? She was the boss, the leader. The male dorm manager was her underling, her lapdog.

As for why she was the one yelping at night... Well, it was an uprising from below~ A taste of the East you just couldn't miss.

"Then the two of you are..."

Close? Ichinose had wanted to say that, but she couldn't decide whether the two of them seemed close or not.

"We're just close, that's all. He is my strategist, after all... You little brat, where are you touching?"

Feeling the person beneath her getting handsy, she suddenly jabbed him with an elbow.

You dare touch a tiger's behind, huh?

"Okay, Shiina, take Ichinose and go sort out whatever you need to. I'll have a good talk with my esteemed strategist about how things are going."

Ryuen Shoko's meaning was clear: from this point on, there couldn't be any outsiders around.

Shiina wasn't involved in this matter anyway, so all she had to do was take the others away.

As Shiina left, some of the students in the class had already begun to feel sorry for her.

Why did she seem like a tool to them...?

After Shiina left with Ichinose, Ryuen wiggled her hips, making the male dorm manager beneath her move. "Hey, esteemed strategist, how's Plan A coming along?"

"Almost there, almost there. We just have to wait until tomorrow."

The male dorm manager held up one finger to show that there was just one last step. "I'll go take care of the final step in a bit. After that, we just wait for tomorrow's show."

"I hope so. Don't disappoint me, strategist, or else..."

Ryuen leaned down and whispered in the male dorm manager's ear. "We'll settle the score for the past few days, nice and slow. Aren't you full of pent-up energy? I'll make sure you get to let it all out."

Holy crap, Ryuen, did you awaken some kind of rich-lady pleasure playstyle?

The male dorm manager shuddered at her words and repeatedly assured her everything would be fine.

If he had the element of surprise, he couldn't believe he wouldn't be able to trip up Katsuragi.

As long as Sakayanagi didn't interfere, the odds of success were 99.9 percent. The remaining 0.1 percent was fate.

And if Sakayanagi got involved... Maybe 70 percent. The other 30 percent depended on whether things got better or worse.

Anyway, no matter what, if this happened, it would absolutely, absolutely cause a huge stir throughout the school, win or lose.

Well, maybe they'd manage to hush it up. Who knew?

The male dorm manager gave a low chuckle, a sly smile spreading across his face again.

His expression made everyone shudder. He looked so sinister when he seemed to be plotting against someone.

They observed a moment of silence for his target and hoped they'd be all right.

The male dorm manager and Ryuen Shoko hadn't told anyone else what Plans A and B were. That was to prevent someone with a loose tongue from spilling the beans, so the students in the class only knew there was some big plan. They had no idea what it actually was.

"Do you think it'll work?"

"You're the one who came up with the plan. Why are you the first to doubt it? Didn't I help you polish it up?"

"That's true, but I'm worried the more we do, the more mistakes we'll make."

"The less confident you are, the easier it'll be for people to see through you. So... smile."

"You son of a bitch, all you know how to do is sweet-talk."

He got hit again, but the male dorm manager smiled anyway.

His confident manner also helped Ryuen Shoko believe in him.

Perhaps, with his help, this operation really could work.

Once classes ended, the male dorm manager went to find Hoshinomiya-sensei, the homeroom teacher for Class B.

Why had he gone out of his way to get close to Hoshinomiya earlier? Because Hoshinomiya also worked as one of the school nurses.

There were only 500 students at the school, so she and another teacher usually took turns in the infirmary. And, according to the male dorm manager's calculations, Hoshinomiya would be on duty tomorrow morning.

"Hoshinomiya-sensei?"

"Oh, Dorm Manager, what brings you here again?"

Hoshinomiya greeted the male dorm manager warmly when she saw him.

She seemed like a cheerful, lively person, just like Ichinose.

But she wasn't simple. She was like an upgraded Kushida. Her innermost thoughts aside, as long as she was an ally and not an enemy, she was quite dependable.

"Sensei, points can buy anything at this school, right?"

"Right. Wait, Dorm Manager, if you're trying to buy my chastity, that's a no-no~"

Hoshinomiya seemed to have heard some unsavory rumors about the male dorm manager. She crossed her arms in front of her chest to form an X, making it clear she wouldn't allow it.

"Ahem. Sensei, what are you thinking? Student-teacher relationships aren't allowed~"

"Mm, true. Even cats aren't allowed to have student-teacher relationships."

"?"

Though he couldn't understand what Hoshinomiya meant by that, the male dorm manager still steered the conversation back on track. "So, Sensei, could I ask you to forge a certificate for me?"

"Forge a certificate... What kind?"

"It's... this certificate."

The male dorm manager whispered in Hoshinomiya's ear, and she nodded along. Finally, she took out a little notebook and flipped through it. "I thought it would be a more troublesome certificate. It's just this? Sure~ Lots of people have asked me to forge these before. I charge a fixed rate: 2,000 points for the certificate alone. If you need to rest in the infirmary, it's another 1,000. If I recommend you go back to your dorm to rest, that's an extra 3,000~"

"I only need the certificate. I don't need anything else. Sorry for the trouble, Sensei."

The male dorm manager held his phone, a smile spreading across his face.

"Why'd you call me up here in the middle of the day?"

Standing on the rooftop, the male dorm manager enjoyed the cool breeze. Behind him, Kushida walked over.

She didn't understand what he wanted from her at this time.

"Oh, it's nothing much. I just need you to do a job with Ayanokoji."

"A job? How many points?"

"This isn't a tough job, and we might not even need it, so I'm afraid I can't pay you."

"No pay, huh... Don't look at me like that. I'm just worried I won't have enough points later, that's all. After you told me about S-Points last time, I started worrying that the points we get next month might be pitifully low."

"You don't have to worry about that."

"?"

"It won't be pitifully low. There won't be any at all. There's an 80 percent chance your class will get zero points next month."

"That low?"

Kushida's eyes widened. The male dorm manager shrugged. "What else did you expect? You've had a week of classes now, so you should have a good idea of how your classmates are doing. Whenever I glance at your class, I see a bunch of students sleeping or playing on their phones. And that's not even counting the teachers keeping track from outside."

"Tch, we're getting no points... This is bad."

The rooftop was empty except for her and the male dorm manager, so she didn't bother pretending anymore.
