About Children

"Then you guys go do it outside! I need to sleep!!"

However, after she said this, Karuizawa Kei and Hoshino En did not stop as she expected. Instead, they actually walked out of the Small Wooden Cabin.

They walked to the stream near the Small Wooden Cabin.

"En-kun, this place looks pretty nice, come on, ah~ ooh!"

"Um... uh... ha~"

Heavy breathing could be heard coming through the door of the Small Wooden Cabin into the room.

"Hmm~ o(*￣▽￣*)o~~"

Then came a series of ambiguous gasps.

Kushida Kikyo: "..."

It's not you guys...

A soft rustling sound --

Just then, she heard other voices behind her.

When she turned her head, she saw that Sakayanagi Arisu and Shiina Hiyori, who had been asleep, had actually gotten up again.

"I slept for so long this afternoon, how could I possibly fall asleep again now!"

Seeing Kushida Kikyo's question, Sakayanagi Arisu voice.

Actually, she had really fallen asleep, but Kushida Kikyo's cough was so loud that it woke her up.

However, she quickly looked away from the outsider, her hands groping on the floor until she found her beloved Cane.

Qi: "Hiyori, let's go see! They actually managed to do it!"

With Shiina Hiyori's help, she slowly and quietly moved to the door, slightly opening it a crack, and looked outside.

Then they saw it—the seemingly tough and fierce Gal Leader, utterly defeated and routed in front of her lover.

"It seems Hui wasn't exaggerating at all. En-kun really is beyond our capabilities. Even if the three of us combined, we probably couldn't withstand that kind of strength."

"Yes..."

Shiina Hiyori blankly echoed.

Then, they all looked at the third person in the room.

8. "What kind of look is that?"

Kushida Kikyo crossed her arms and took a few steps back in fear.

What do you want to do?

"It's nothing." / "Don't worry about it, Kushida."

The quiet night slowly passed amidst the passionate fervor of the young men and women, the restless yearning of the girls, and the anxious anticipation of the Little Angel.

The first check-in was around noon, the second was at 8 pm, and the third was at 4 am.

In the end, Hoshino En Yuuki only rewarded Karuizawa Kei once or twice before sending her back to sleep.

He left the Small Wooden Cabin at around 3:30 a. m.

Because this was the check-in time, the "Leader" of Class B was woken up early by the night watchman to check in; Class A, on the other hand, because they occupied Cave that was difficult to enter and exit, was not in a hurry - they planned to adjust their check-in time slightly to a more "normal" time.

However, both Class A and Class B dispatched a large number of personnel to ambush other nearby strongholds, preparing to wait for the "Leader" of Class D to come to their doom.

Hoshino En also noticed their actions, so he didn't rush to occupy the strongholds near the two squad camps. Instead, he went to the furthest and deepest strongholds first and started to occupy them one by one.

When they realized that the time had come and the Leader of Class D hadn't shown up to clock in, the people from Classes A and B who were waiting there were very excited. They quickly sent people to notify their own "Leader" and confronted the people from another class who had the same idea, each trying to expel the other to prevent their own "Leader's " identity from being revealed.

Just as they were arguing, Hoshino En slipped into the crowd like a ghost, hiding in everyone's blind spot, and placed her Key Card on the Check-in Device before disappearing again.

As a result, apart from the Waterfall occupied by Class B and the Cave occupied by Class A, the other strongholds were still occupied by the "Leader" of Class D.

Moreover, those who participated in the stakeout, regardless of which class or individual they were from, all said they did not see the "Leader" of Class D. In the blink of an eye, the words "Class D is occupying" appeared on the Check-in Device.

Upon hearing this news, Ichinose Honami, Kanzaki Ryuji, and Katsuragi Kohei were all stunned.

There's something dirty in Class D! How are they supposed to play now???

As for Hoshino En, who had finished checking in, he was currently --

First Semester of First Year:

Chapters 164 and 155 are about children.

Hoshino En was resting on the bed in the Small Wooden Cabin. He had stayed up all night and needed to replenish his energy.

However, he had only been lying down for a short while when Karuizawa Kei suddenly burst in and pounced on him.

The golden-haired gal, with eyes similar to Shiina Hiyori's, pleaded with him, "En-kun, I was wrong yesterday. I only thought about my own enjoyment and didn't consider your situation. I'm so sorry!!!"

Hoshino En: "..."

What happened? Why are you suddenly being so distant?

"I don't see anything wrong with it. In fact, it was my fault last night—I should have refused you since I was still taking exams."

But his explanation did not seem to satisfy Karuizawa Kei, Karuizawa Qi-Kei still refused to "let him go".

"No, En-kun, I was the one who seduced you first yesterday, it was my fault."

"No, it's my fault--"

"It's~mine~!!!"

"Anyway, it's both of your fault!!"

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Kushida Kikyo interrupted them.

"Furthermore, Hoshino, Karuizawa doesn't just want to 'apologize,' you must have something else to say, right?"

Her next sentence was directed at Karuizawa Kei.

Hoshino Enishi's gaze followed her lead and fell on Karuizawa Megumi.

However, Karuizawa Kei did not answer immediately, but instead looked outside first.

After making sure no one else was eavesdropping, she whispered surreptitiously in Hoshino En Yui's ear, "Actually, it's about Arisu. Because I kept bothering you last night and you didn't get enough rest, that's why you want to catch up on sleep now, right?"

"Arisu was a little down when she heard that you were going to rest and sleep and couldn't play with her. Hiyori is comforting her now."

"So the reason you came to apologize is actually because you were threatened by Sakayanagi?"

"What threat? We have a great relationship!! I just can't bear to see her so depressed. Can you really bear to see her like that, En-kun?"

Hoshino En: "..."

Okay, he can't.

To persuade Hoshino En Enishi to agree, Karuizawa Kei added another layer of leverage to her position.

"En-kun, I promise that nothing like last night will ever happen again before the exams are over, and once we get back to school, you can punish me however you want." (The rest of the text is a series of seemingly unrelated phrases and sentences, likely from Arisu.)

"... Alright. But if you really feel guilty, then do your best in this exam, and don't let my hard-earned motivation dissipate because of it."

"Mission accomplished!!"

Karuizawa Kei gave a proper salute, then pulled Hoshino En out of the Small Wooden Cabin.

"Arisu and Hiyori are just over by the stream, so you can go by yourself, En-kun. I won't go and get in her way."

After pushing Hoshino En Karuizawa Kei Megumi took a step back, closed and locked the wooden door, leaving the outside space to Hoshino En and Sakayanagi Arisu.

Oh, and we also have to count Shiina Hiyori, who had absolutely no other intentions and was simply fooled by Kushida Kikyo, so she volunteered to "Shiina Hiyori" --

Only the three of them remained in this space, isolated from the outside world and completely cut off from the Small Wooden Cabin.

In such an open yet enclosed environment, even if something "not to be told to outsiders" happened, no fourth person would know, right?

However, in the end, they only played in the river together for a while, then went fishing together, engaging in wholesome activities suitable for all ages, and nothing romantic happened.

"But this scene looks like a couple taking their daughter on a picnic! Don't you think so, En-kun?"

After playing around, Shiina Hiyori looked at the fish that Hoshino En had dissected and grilled, and suddenly asked a question.

"Hiyori, are you saying I look like your and En-kun's daughter?"

Although they look very similar, and they looked similar when they were playing just now, Sakayanagi Arisu wouldn't accept it.

"Rather than me, I think you, who are always a step behind in reacting, are more like my and En-kun's daughter. After all, children always rely on their parents, especially in terms of cognition and judgment."

Hearing this, Shiina Hiyori didn't rush to refute. She looked at Hoshino En Yuuki and asked, "And what about you, En-kun -kun? What do you think?"

Hoshino En's gaze remained unmoved by their conversation and Shiina Hiyori's questions; his eyes were still fixed on the grilled fish in front of him.

However, he still answered Shiina Hiyori's question, his tone filled with exhaustion and helplessness.

"I think I'm more like a spoiled father taking his two daughters out for a trip; taking care of two kids at once is much more tiring than taking care of one."

Having experience raising love on his own before, he thought he could at least take care of Sakayanagi and Shiina at the same time. He never imagined the difficulty would be so immense, increasing exponentially. (Rin)

Moreover, although Shiina Hiyori and easy to get along with, this does not diminish the difficulty Hoshino En in taking care of her.

"It would be better to have only one child in the future. That way, one spouse can support the family, and the other can raise the child alone."

Beside the babbling brook, both Sakayanagi Arisu and Shiina Hiyori undoubtedly heard Hoshino En's soft murmur.

There's an unexpected surprise!

However, they didn't show any worry or sadness. After all, if there are only two people, having one child is indeed the easiest thing to do, but what if the woman has more than one?

For the sake of fairness, does that mean he should allow everyone to have only one child?

And what if someone wins the lottery and has twins in one pregnancy?

When the topic of having children came up, Sakayanagi Arisu and Shiina Hiyori exchanged a glance and both noticed the blush on each other's faces.

That would make the house very lively, wouldn't it?

Due to physical discomfort, Sakayanagi Arisu age. Although her father tried his best to let her grow up in a loving family atmosphere, the loneliness of being forced to stay in her room for a long time still made her crave liveliness.

As for Shiina Hiyori, due to her personal experiences, she didn't have close friends until high school, but this made her crave excitement even more.

As for how to take care of a child, Shiina Hiyori is confident in her abilities, while Sakayanagi Arisu... although she's not very good at it, and her frail health means she can't take good care of a child, doesn't she still have Kamuro?

Liu Kamuro Masumi, who was in Class A's camp but was being monitored and isolated by Sakayanagi Faction because she was a member of Katsuragi Faction: "Four..."

Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!

Rewind a little, to when Hoshino En had just left the Small Wooden Cabin—

Are you serious?

Inside the house, looking at Karuizawa Kei leaning against the door with her head down, Kushida Kikyo asked curiously.

"Although your explanation yesterday wasn't wrong, I still don't think you'd give up Hoshino so easily and even help your rival."

Actually, Sakayanagi Arisu wasn't really depressed. After all, she lost a bet with Karuizawa Kei yesterday, and "losing Hoshino En's company on the second day" was just a side effect of her loss. She accepted her defeat.

While it's ostensibly because of Kushida Kikyo's persuasion that "Shiina Hiyori will go to accompany Sakayanagi Arisu," the real reason she did it was because Karuizawa Kei asked her to.

The Little Angel, having shed her disguise, stared intently at the Gal Leader who held power in the class, her gaze fixed on her eyes hidden in the shadows.

"I only bothered Hoshino a little back then, and you glared at me like that; I don't think you'd suddenly become so magnanimous now."

"Let me guess, are you trying to set them up so that Hoshino thinks they're just a bunch of women who will only cause him trouble?"

"Compared to them, you make him feel less troubled and are more considerate, so he will develop a psychological dependence on you and a rejection of them."

"Under such subtle influence, he will naturally choose you as his girlfriend in the end." #2

"Karuizawa, are you... right about my guess?"

Karuizawa Kei: "..."

"Hmph hmph hmph~"

She suddenly laughed, but to avoid being heard by the three people outside, she covered her mouth and laughed very "subtly".

"What are you laughing at?"

Her reaction left Kushida Kikyo completely bewildered.
