Shuichi Kanda Could Make Mistakes

The visitors were Horikita Manabu, the Student Council President, and Akane Tachibana, the Student Council secretary, whom Shuichi Kanda few days earlier.

Upon hearing the sound, Shuichi Kanda, who was slumped on the bench, struggled to his feet and looked at the two of them.

"Good morning, President Horikita, and my Sekishiko. We're just waiting for someone here."

"Who's the Sekishiko? You're so rude!"

Akane Tachibana pouted, her dissatisfaction evident in her expression.

Damn it, I'm trying to help you, can't you see? Idiot, didn't you see the president is happy?

What? You're saying I can't tell he has facial paralysis?

That's because you didn't look carefully enough!

"The procedures for what we discussed last time have been completed."

"So fast?"

Kanda Shuichi Kanda was quite surprised by Horikita Manabu's news. In less than a week, and during summer vacation, a vice president appointment had already been completed?

As expected of the Student Council President hailed as the strongest in history, she is truly impressive.

"The Student Council Room is almost finished being renovated. Would you like me to take you to see it?"

"Never mind, I'm not wearing my school uniform today, so I can't get into the school."

Shuichi Kanda immediately refused. "Is it almost finished? That means it's not finished yet. What if I have to help with the work when I go there? That would be a huge loss."

I'm lazy, so don't expect me to do any work, thank you!

Horikita Manabu nodded, then looked at Shuichi Kanda and then at Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

"While having bodyguards when going out is a good idea, it's still best to exercise regularly if you have the time."

Shuichi Kanda:?

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji:??

What does "bodyguard" mean?

Shuichi Kanda: You don't think Ayanokoji is my bodyguard, do you?

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji: When did I become Kanda's bodyguard?

However, Horikita Manabu had already led Akane Tachibana away.

"Your relationship seems to have become quite close."

After the other person walked away, Ayanokoji looked at Shuichi Kanda.

"Um, oh, I joined the Student Council."

This isn't some kind of secret that particularly needs to be kept confidential; the temporary secrecy is simply because we want to gather information from the second-year students, so we don't want Nagumo to know.

Ayanokoji is definitely not Nagumo's subordinate, so Shuichi Kanda doesn't care.

"You, I remember you seemed to have refused to join the Student Council before."

Times have changed; once you're in the game, you're not always in control of your own destiny.

"The Third Master's Sword?"

"Huh? You actually read foreign martial arts novels?"

This is a line from the novel "The Third Master's Sword" by Hong Kong martial arts writer Gu Long. I never expected that Ayanokoji would know it.

"I sometimes look at them because they're in the library."

"Oh, I see. You have excellent taste."

Having unexpectedly found something they shared, the two chatted and passed the time without feeling too hot.

So, after about half an hour, the two finally saw their target appear.

Katsuragi Kohei was wearing a school uniform, even though it was the middle of summer. And it wasn't a summer uniform, but a long-sleeved one that looked really hot, plus a red suit.

For some reason, seeing Katsuragi's attire Shuichi Kanda feel a surge of heat rising from within him.

Doesn't this guy get hot?

Looking at Katsuragi in his red suit, Ayanokoji and Shuichi Kanda fell silent.

Both of them were wearing casual summer T-shirts, which is clearly the more suitable outfit for summer, but for some reason, they both felt like they had lost.

"Is that shopping bag from yesterday's store? Wasn't it supposed to be the 29th? Usually, people keep gifts in their dorms until the day of the event, right? Are you planning to deliver it early?"

Shuichi Kanda changed the subject, no longer arguing about clothing.

"Who knows? Besides, would an average person wear a uniform that looks so hot to deliver a gift in the summer? It's a bit hard to imagine."

The two of them ducked slightly behind a tree to avoid Katsuragi's line of sight, and then followed him after he had passed by.

The two then looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Because he didn't go towards the senior dormitories or the shopping street, but instead went to the place where Horikita Manabu and Akane Tachibana had just gone.

That's a destination that most students would never go to during summer vacation—school.

"So you're going to school? That's why you're wearing a uniform."

Ayanokoji nodded, looking like he understood.

"Could it be that he has a crush on a teacher? That's why he won't date in high school!?" Shuichi Kanda's words left Ayanokoji momentarily stunned.

So, there's such a way to do it?

Indeed, if it's a teacher-student relationship, it certainly shouldn't be shown in high school.

In Japan, teacher-student relationships are absolutely forbidden if one of the students is a minor.

In such cases, teachers often face dismissal or even being barred from future teaching positions, and may even face legal action. Students are also frequently disciplined and reprimanded.

This feels like a serious problem...

Shuichi Kanda glanced at Ayanokoji, then hooked his arm around the other's neck. "Listen carefully, Ayanokoji, you absolutely cannot tell Ike and those guys from Yamauchi about this... no, you're not allowed to tell anyone. If word gets out, it won't be a small matter."

"I, I understand. Please let go of me, it's very hot." Ayanokoji immediately agreed to Shuichi Kanda's request. "Besides, we can't be sure that Katsuragi's gift is definitely for the teacher, can we?"

"Of course I know that, but it would be very troublesome if word got out."

Rumors stop with the wise, but unfortunately, most people are just gossipy fools. Who knows what version it will become once it gets out of control?

However, since Katsuragi had already entered the school building through the main entrance, there was no point in following him. Since the two men in civilian clothes couldn't enter the school, today's surveillance activity ended there.

However, Ayanokoji still had a question in his mind...

That is, why doesn't Katsuragi give gifts to men?

Although the possibility is very low, it is not impossible. Kiyotaka Ayanokoji felt that Shuichi Kanda had not considered things comprehensively enough.

Chapter 149 Even Shuichi Kanda Makes Mistakes

After seeing Katsuragi enter the school, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji was about to leave when Shuichi Kanda immediately put his arm around Kiyotaka's shoulder and stopped him.

"Etc."

"What else do you want? We can't get into the school in civilian clothes, can we?"

Ayanokoji, with a blank expression, looked at Shuichi Kanda.

"Hmph! You call this a question?"

Shuichi Kanda snorted coldly, then clenched his right fist and pointed his thumb behind him.

That was the closest shop to the school gate, and what it sold was naturally an item relevant to every student—school uniforms.

The school actually has several types of uniforms, such as the long-sleeved shirt and red suit that Katsuragi wears, and the short-sleeved summer uniform that Horikita Manabu wear.

However, the summer uniforms were quite expensive, and given the previous financial situation of Class D, most ordinary students would hardly choose to buy them.

Shuichi Kanda, but he didn't wear it when he went out today.

Now, in order to get into the school, Shuichi Kanda plans to buy another set on the spot, since it's just a small amount of money.

"You're not planning to buy a uniform now and go to school, are you?"

"Isn't it obvious? For girls, maybe the clothes will need to be custom-made, but for boys, uniforms should be available in every size, so we might be able to find one that fits us."

Generally, students submit their body measurements and wait for their uniforms to be made.

However, there are also emergencies, such as when clothes are damaged due to unforeseen circumstances.

Without a uniform, one cannot go to school; otherwise, Class Points. To avoid this situation, ready-made uniforms are sold.

Ayanokoji, who had originally planned to go shopping in the Shopping Street, ended up following Shuichi Kanda to the school uniform specialty store.

Fortunately, the two were lucky and quickly found the right size for themselves.

Then, as the two were about to pick out pants, they saw Katsuragi walking out of the store, carrying the shopping bag he had been holding earlier.

Alright, now we don't need to buy uniforms anymore; Katsuragi didn't send them out.

Although the two did not choose pants, they did pay for the short-sleeved shirts.

Because Ayanokoji participated in the base capture operation while on the Uninhabited Island, he received a reward of 50,000 points, so he had quite a few points.

Judging from Tokyo's weather, it won't get very cool even in September, so having a summer uniform would be quite convenient.

He didn't want to become a warrior like Katsuragi.

Speaking of Katsuragi, as a student in Class A, he shouldn't be short of money to buy a summer uniform, so why is he always so frugal?

The two, each carrying a shopping bag containing summer uniforms, caught up with Katsuragi again.

Katsuragi's destination was the place the two of them had visited the day before: the shop where Shuichi Kanda had bought the panda plush toy.

After Katsuragi entered the store, Shuichi Kanda also went in and saw Katsuragi again in a similar spot to yesterday.

"Hey, Katsuragi, we meet again. Didn't you return your gift?"

Shuichi Kanda went straight to the point and asked Katsuragi about the gift.

However, these words immediately alerted Katsuragi: "How do you know my gift wasn't given out?"

"Ayanokoji and I went to buy summer uniforms, and then we saw you carrying shopping bags into the school, and then coming out of the school again."

As he spoke, he deliberately raised his hand, gesturing to the paper shopping bag containing the uniform.

"I see," Katsuragi nodded without suspicion, because he didn't think anyone would buy an expensive summer uniform just to follow him; even if you had money, you wouldn't spend it like that.

Looking at Katsuragi, Shuichi Kanda moment before speaking, "Actually, Katsuragi, I support you."

Um?

Katsuragi was confused. What support? What are you talking about?

"Even if you like a woman older than yourself, it's understandable." Seeing that Katsuragi didn't answer, Shuichi Kanda continued talking to himself, "But teacher-student relationships are too taboo no matter what. If the school finds out, not only will you be expelled, but the teacher you like will probably be fired as well..."

"Please wait a moment!"

Shuichi Kanda about to continue persuading him, Katsuragi immediately stopped him with a serious expression.

"What are you talking about? A teacher-student relationship? Who are you?"

This is a crime that Katsuragi absolutely cannot bear.

So, I let my guard down just because it's summer vacation and there are no exams?

Is Shuichi Kanda planning to expel me from school using this fabricated charge?

Katsuragi's stern tone surprised Shuichi Kanda. "Huh? Isn't that right?"

Then Shuichi Kanda subconsciously looked at Ayanokoji.

Ayanokoji quickly shook his head, not understanding what it meant.

"Um, sorry, it seems I was wrong. Because when I saw you go to school, the only people still at school at this time should be the teachers on duty, right?"

Even if it was unintentional, falsely accusing someone of a teacher-student relationship is still a bad thing, so Shuichi Kanda decisively chose to apologize and gave his explanation.

Seeing Shuichi Kanda's sincere expression, Katsuragi sighed and didn't pursue the matter further.

Because Shuichi Kanda deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke, he clearly didn't want others to hear about it.

"I only went to school because I had some personal matters to attend to."
