Akito, You Have a...! (Continued)
Because he has other plans afterwards.
Around 7 p. m., Shuichi Kanda's room was visited by his friend Akito Miyake, who was accompanied by his girlfriend, Qiao Huan, a third-year student.
The reason why these two visited together dates back to after school.
Before heading to the coffee shop, Shuichi Kanda went to see Miyake.
"Akito, I hope you can talk to Senior Qiao Huan. I hope she can give up the exam this time and be guaranteed last place. Of course, I will pay her 6 million Private Points to avoid expulsion."
Shuichi Kanda originally thought that Miyake would readily agree, after all, Qiao Huan had already promised to help Shuichi Kanda.
Unexpectedly, Miyake hesitated and did not answer.
"Actually, Shuichi, I also have something I want to tell you about this. Do you have time tonight?"
This Shuichi Kanda had ever seen Miyake so hesitant and evasive. Could it be that he broke up with Qiao Huan -senpai?
No, because he always looks very happy, and although he has been a little worried lately, the happiness in his eyes has not diminished at all, and may even be increasing.
"Yes, I should be free after 6 PM."
"Let's meet at seven o'clock then. I'll come find you with Xun."
Shuichi Kanda naturally had no problem and immediately agreed.
"Come in, would you like something to drink?"
Miyake initially intended to say anything, but then, remembering she wasn't alone, she immediately changed her mind. "How about black tea then? Smoked."
"Okay, sure."
Looking at the two people opposite, especially Senior Qiao Huan.
I feel like she's changed a lot since I last saw her. Her carefree personality seems to have changed, and she's gradually become more feminine.
Is this also the nourishment of love? How amazing!
After brewing some black tea and taking a small sip, Shuichi Kanda finally got down to business.
"Speaking of which, Akito, you said you wanted to discuss something with me. What exactly is it?"
Setting down his teacup, Miyake looked at Shuichi Kanda with a serious expression.
"Regarding this exam, Kaoru and I have already discussed it. Kaoru will use this exam as an opportunity to drop out of school, and incidentally, she can also help you, Shuichi, give Class 3-A another blow."
"What's the meaning?"
"That means refusing assistance and therefore not taking the exam."
Shuichi Kanda frowned. "I know you want to help me, but there's no need to go this far."
"Senior Qiao Huan, are you really planning to drop out of school because of this?"
"Yes, because I now have a reason to drop out of school."
What are the reasons for having to drop out of school?
Shuichi Kanda looked at Qiao Huan across from him with some confusion, but the other man just held his black tea, his face slightly flushed, and remained silent.
So, what exactly happened?
Shuichi Kanda glanced at Miyake standing to the side.
Miyake's gaze was also somewhat evasive, avoiding Shuichi Kanda's eyes.
"If you two keep talking like this, we can't get the conversation going." Shuichi Kanda sighed as he watched the two of them try to change the subject.
Finally, Miyake gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He then moved next to Shuichi Kanda and whispered something in Shuichi Kanda's ear.
"Actually..."
However, Shuichi Kanda froze upon hearing this, then wondered if he had misheard.
"What!? You're not joking, are you?" Shuichi Kanda looked at Miyake and then at Qiao Huan, whose face seemed to turn even redder.
It's true.
After confirming the information, Shuichi Kanda finally burst out with the shock he had been holding in.
"Heh, Akito, you're really something! You actually got Senior Qiao Huan pregnant?"
At first, Shuichi Kanda was able to control his emotions, but by the end, the unbelievable shock caused his voice to rise sharply.
"Shh! Don't say it out loud, and keep your voice down, the soundproofing in the dorm isn't very good."
Seeing Shuichi Kanda's surprised expression, Akito also became very nervous.
Moreover, he could understand Shuichi Kanda's shock; he himself was also very shocked when he first learned of the news.
But he quickly calmed down and immediately made a decision: he hoped Qiao Huan would give birth to the child and that he would take responsibility for it.
However, given Qiao Huan's current physical condition, while attending school is not a problem, taking the Uninhabited Island Exam is definitely out of the question.
After a brief moment of confusion, Shuichi Kanda calmed down.
"How many months?"
"It's only been four weeks. I went for a checkup because my period was late. I only found out about this in the last few days."
The surrounding area was quite dangerous during this period, but according to Miyake's plan, he was determined to keep this child.
It's mid-June now, and the exams start in late July, which means there are still five weeks left. Qiao Huan's physical burden will definitely be heavier then.
Therefore, Qiao Huan absolutely cannot be allowed to participate in the Uninhabited Island Exam. Fourteen consecutive days of wilderness survival is something a pregnant woman absolutely cannot withstand; an accident could lead to a miscarriage.
This kind of thing can cause enormous harm to a woman's body, Shuichi Kanda would never joke about something like this.
"I understand, Senior Qiao Huan. You should just give up on the exam. Akito, are you going to stay with her?"
Speaking of this, Miyake hesitated, because Shuichi Kanda was also not good at the Uninhabited Island Exam, so he wanted to give Shuichi Kanda some extra help.
Furthermore, if he also gives up directly, Class A will likely have 300 points deducted, and Shuichi Kanda will have to pay 6 million Private Points for him.
As for forming a team, he can't be considered a combatant at all, and he might even be a burden to others. He's torn between his wife and his brothers, so he's very conflicted and doesn't know what to do for the time being.
"Go then, Akito."
At the crucial moment, Qiao Huan put down his teacup and helped Miyake make up his mind.
"I'll be fine being alone at school. It's only for a short time, and I'm in good physical condition, so I won't..."
Before Qiao Huan could finish speaking, Miyake immediately covered her mouth.
"You can't just say things like that."
Shuichi Kanda opposite him, nodded in deep agreement. "What you're saying is no different from 'I'll retire after this job,' it's all the same—a death trap!"
"In that case, Senior Qiao Huan, you should rest well at school. I'll borrow Akito for now." Shuichi Kanda to hesitate, and this matter was quite serious, so someone with Akito's good stamina would be very useful.
"Hmm, feel free to take it with you." Compared to Miyake, Qiao Huan was quite magnanimous.
"By the way, what are you planning to do after dropping out, Senior Qiao Huan? Do you want me to send Akito away to be with you?" Shuichi Kanda asked, shaking his head.
"Haha, there's no rush. I'll go home first, and then visit the Akito's hometown."
"My hometown."
Shuichi Kanda looked at Miyake with a meaningful expression.
"Don't let my appearance fool you, my family is actually very kind. I have a letter of proof that my mother will take good care of Kaoru, and I will ask Chabashira-sensei for help with this matter."
Shuichi Kanda nodded; there were some questions he planned to ask later.
"By the way, Senior Qiao Huan, do you have enough points?"
"That's enough. Akito gives me points every month, and I still have plenty left."
"That's good."
Shuichi Kanda nodded.
Since that's the case, I understand the situation. Senior Qiao Huan, enjoy your last month or so of campus life.
"Yes, I will."
After seeing the Miyake couple off, Shuichi Kanda lay on the bed and began to think about what he would do if any of the Kamuro and the others got pregnant.
There's still over a year and a half until graduation, while pregnancy only takes ten months. Should we send the other person out of school now?
Shuichi Kanda shook his head, which is why he opposed Miyake's approach. How could a father not be by his child's side when the child was born?
However, this was something that needed to be discussed privately with Miyake, so Shuichi Kanda changed the subject and told the two of them to go back first.
Miyake could tell he had something to say to him, so he would probably be back in a little while.
Sure enough, Miyake returned in less than twenty minutes.
"Was the person sent back?"
"Yeah, I came right back after dropping Xun off at her dorm."
After brewing another cup of tea and placing it in front of Miyake, Shuichi Kanda looked at him.
"Tell me your thoughts. You're not really going to leave Qiao Huan unattended when she gives birth, are you?"
Shuichi Kanda's expression was very serious. If Miyake answered incorrectly, Shuichi Kanda would definitely beat him awake today.
"Of course not! It's just that I..."
"You think your unauthorized departure will cause me trouble, right?" Shuichi Kanda smiled. "Akito, you underestimate me too much. So what if you caused Class A to lose 300 Class Points?"
"But I still feel bad for you guys, after all, it's 300 Class Points."
Shuichi Kanda shook his head. This Japan tendency to avoid causing trouble for others is really...
"Don't worry, I'll find a reasonable way to make sure you shine for the class. For example, if you're fourth or fifth from the bottom in this exam, it won't be a loss for the class." As he spoke, Shuichi Kanda patted Miyake on the shoulder.
Hearing this, Miyake breathed a sigh of relief.
"In that case, you can make the arrangements. Ideally, you should be able to let both Xun and me leave school at the same time."
Miyake was finally relieved; this way, he could satisfy both sides.
After seeing Miyake off, Shuichi Kanda, his feelings quite complicated. No wonder he felt Qiao Huan was more womanly when he saw her today; perhaps it wasn't womanly charm, but rather a maternal glow?
In short, Shuichi Kanda found it utterly absurd. In his mind, people usually got married and had children in their twenties, didn't they?
As a result, Miyake was 17 years old, Qiao Huan was 18 years old.
Just as Shuichi Kanda was lying on the floor, lost in thought, the door to the room was pushed open.
As soon as Kamuro entered the room, she was startled to see Shuichi Kanda lying on the floor.
"Excuse me... Shuichi?"
"Yes, Masumi, welcome..."
Hearing someone call his name, Shuichi Kanda raised his head, saw Kamuro, responded, and then immediately lay back down.
"What's wrong?"
Kamuro spoke gently as she slowly walked over. Shuichi Kanda had a clear view of what was under her skirt, but she didn't care. She knelt down on the ground, picked up Shuichi Kanda's head, and placed it on her lap to make him more comfortable.
"Akito; he might drop out of school soon."
"Dropped out? Miyake -Miyake? Why?"
Kamuro was a little confused. Miyake had good grades, excellent athletic ability, and was also a good friend of Shuichi Kanda. Even if someone in Class A was going to drop out, it wouldn't be him.
"You two broke up? That's impossible."
Shuichi Kanda's tone was filled with regret.
"It's complicated. He was with his girlfriend, Qiao Huan, just now. No, maybe it won't be long before she's Miyake."
Are they getting ready to register their marriage?
Kamuro's eyes lit up, seemingly very interested in the topic.
"Akito is not old enough yet, but..." Shuichi Kanda's face showed a strange expression, "Qiao Huan -senpai is pregnant, and Miyake has decided to let Qiao Huan -senpai give birth to the child."
"Pregnant...?"
Kamuro was also stunned.
"Yes, that's exactly why. That's why Senior Qiao Huan won't be taking the Uninhabited Island Exam. She'll be expelled with the lowest score, and she's also refused to use her Private Points for help."
Shuichi Kanda explained.
