The Result of the Bet, The Exam Ends! / The First Experience of Pain
Touched on her sore spot in front of everyone, Ichinose Honami's face stiffened even more, but she still looked up at Ryuen Kakeru and protested in a trembling voice, "Ryuen, we should be discussing exams right now, please don't go around discussing my personal matters."
"Ha! The school doesn't restrict topics of discussion, what's wrong with me asking a little? I'm just showing concern for my classmate, you know?"
Ryuen Kakeru ignored Ichinose Honami's questioning with an air of "a dead pig doesn't fear boiling water".
SOUSUo:♀"≌jiu№∑↑∴Although he has not yet understood the rules of this special examination, this does not prevent him from muddying the waters.
If everyone is wearing a sour face, how can he test them? How can he see through the VIP's identity?!
But his words immediately provoked Hoshino En.
"A-Sho, since you want to talk about the exam, I'll chat with you about it."
Hoshino En pulled her hands away from the warmth on either side, took out her phone, and sent a message to Ryuen Kakeru.
Buzz--
Ryuen Kakeru's expression changed slightly upon seeing the contents of the newly appeared email in his inbox.
The email contained nothing but three names—the names of three VIP from Class D.
No...
Ryuen Kakeru looked up at Hoshino En and saw that he hadn't stopped editing the email after sending it.
Ryuen Kakeru immediately guessed what he was going to do next. His temples throbbed with a pulsating sensation, a reaction he only had when facing a major crisis.
Wait! No way--
"Star--"
"The Rat Group's exam is over. Rat Group students do not need to take any more exams. Please move carefully and do not disturb other students."
"The exam for the Ox Group' is over. Students in the Ox Group' do not need to take any more exams. Please be careful and do not disturb other students."
"The Tiger Group's exam is over. Tiger Group students do not need to take any more exams. Please be careful and do not disturb other students."
His attempt to stop them was drowned out by the school's announcements.
The school's loudspeaker blared 98 times in a row, and the exams for all nine groups were ended in one go.
Not only were the VIP from Class D eliminated, but VIP from Classes Class A and Class B were also sent out.
Only the Dragon Group, Rabbit Group, and Horse Group remain.
The remaining three groups did not finish, undoubtedly because the students in Class C, arranged by Hoshino En, were unable to complete the exams for these three groups on their own.
In other words, the students in Class C are the VIP groups.
Regardless of whether or not his status VIP of Class C will be leaked, at least for Ryuen Kakeru, his status as VIP of Class D has definitely been completely exposed.
His pent-up frustration turned into anger, which he then expressed verbally.
"You're so damn Starry Eyes-- "
However, just like himself, his anger was met with a frustrating cold reception—the radio blared again, drowning out his voice once more.
"The Rabbit Group's exam is over. Rabbit Group students do not need to take any more exams. Please be careful and do not disturb other students."
"The Dragon Group's exam is over. Dragon Group students do not need to take any more exams. Please be careful and do not disturb other students."
"The Horse Group's exam is over. Horse Group students do not need to take any more exams. Please be careful and do not disturb other students."
Before even half of the first discussion had passed, all the group exams were over.
Almost everyone was completely bewildered as the exam ended so abruptly, including the four class advisors who had just finished handing over their work and were enjoying a rare break.
Are this year's students that good? They finished the exams on the first day?
Others are still confused, but only the 6th star Chihui is different. ∴⊥^-∝°
She suddenly had a bad feeling.
Could it be that Hoshino -kun pulled out some kind of power? No way!! How could he take Sae-chan with him?!

"En-kun, the exam is over, let's go play!"
Setting her phone aside, Sakayanagi Arisu stretched and lazily slumped onto the table.
She tilted her head, revealing half of her face as she looked up at Hoshino En had also put down her phone.
Without a doubt, the last three broadcasts were her doing.
Upon seeing Hoshino En edit the second email, she immediately relayed the message to the other two groups of students in Class B and Kamuro Masumi in the Dragon Group —if the announcement that the exams for the other nine groups had ended was broadcast later, they should immediately send emails to designate the remaining three groups VIP.
As the current class representative of Class B, she should at least try to salvage some of the class's losses.
"But before that, there's another question—how should our bet be settled? I won 9 sets, so I should be considered the winner, right?"
"How can you calculate it like that!"
When the topic of victory or defeat came up, Sakayanagi Arisu excited.
She slammed her hand on the table, straightened up, and her cheeks puffed out slightly with a defiant air.
"If I wanted to, I could take down nine groups—I could even bribe people from other classes to make the three groups with the Class B VIP all achieve result four!"
"I can do all of what you're saying, but the fact is—I won 9 groups, 6 more than you, so the bet is still mine."
Hoshino En reached out and pinched Sakayanagi Arisu's puffed-up cheek.
"Little Sakayanagi, you still need to practice!"
"Waaaaah--"
Overwhelmed by this undeniable fact, Sakayanagi Arisu, making a sound similar to that of an angry kitten.
Hoshino En: "..."
To be honest, Sakayanagi Arisu like this... is absolutely adorable.
Damn it, is this some kind of curse only little girls have?!
Pulling~ Pulling~
Feeling his left sleeve being tugged, Hoshino En turned his head to look— Shiina Hiyori staring at him with her signature misty, crystal-clear eyes. Her gentle, autumn-wave-like gaze seemed to linger in his field of vision, impossible to shake off.
Hoshino En: "..."
Even though he knew Shiina was just trying to curry favor, why couldn't he calm the flutter in his heart?
Damn it, it turns out it wasn't just little girls...
His left hand reached down to the literary girl's chin and gently rubbed her jaw like he was petting a cat.
"Hehe... it itches~"
She rubbed her cheek against Hoshino En's left palm.
The ten single people watching this scene were simply speechless.
"Can't you find a private place to do this kind of thing?"
Horikita Suzune condemned this behavior of not only showing affection in public but also publicly cheating on her partner.
"If you don't want to watch, you can just leave! The exam is over anyway." ≠"□%→∨‖♂∪]*
Sakayanagi Arisu's words provoked the indifferent girl.
She turned to look at the ice cube and saw it staring at its partner with a cold gaze, so she... reached out and lifted the Hoshino En that were covering Hoshino Enishi's forehead, brushing them to one side.
"Wow!"
"Grass!"
"No way..."
"What the hell?!"
"..."
Upon seeing Hoshino En's undisguised appearance for the first time, the group exclaimed in surprise.
Sakayanagi Arisu also saw a blush instantly rise on Horikita Suzune's usually icy face.
"Huh? What? Horikita, you've become obsessed with it too?"
"Look, your face is so red!"
Her words drew everyone's attention to Horikita Suzune's face, and then... her face turned even redder.
"This... this doesn't prove anything, it's just... it's all Hoshino- kun's fault for having that face!!"
She defended herself as if in despair, then slammed the door and left, disappearing without a trace.
Her departure was like opening a brand new door, and the others in the room quickly followed suit, leaving the "Dragon" room one after another.
Soon, only Shiina Hiyori, Sakayanagi Arisu, and Hoshino En remained in the room.
Reaching out to grab Hoshino En's right hand that was pinching her cheek, Sakayanagi Arisu naturally slipped her fingers between his, pressing her left hand tightly against his right.
"En-kun, if you care so much about winning or losing the bet, do you really want me to go with you to the betting event and cheer you on?"
"No, it's just that I don't want you to win because you care so much about winning and losing."
His sincere answer froze the smile on Sakayanagi Arisu's face.
"You... you're so absurd!!"
"Really? Don't worry, I'll keep things under control and won't make things difficult for you."
Hoshino En reached out and moved Sakayanagi Arisu's left hand in front of her, then gently kissed the back of her hand.
"Besides, even if you beat me, you won't be happy if I don't take it seriously, will you?"
The lively stars twinkled in Hoshino En's eyes, and Sakayanagi Arisu was mesmerized by that face that could be described as "beautiful".
"... As expected, only you can do it!"
She leaned forward and slumped into Hoshino En's arms, her cheek pressed against Hoshino En's cheek. The sound of her excited heartbeat traveled through their clothes and their bodies to Hoshino En's side.
The excitement made her slightly breathless, and because of the deep breaths, the scent of Hoshino En traveled deep into her lungs through her respiratory tract, and that feeling of becoming one with her made her even more excited.
However, although she had some difficulty breathing, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Not only was she perfectly conscious, but she also felt a kind of... mental ascension.
Search q group: Hey¤◇uncle-←ￜumbrella∷%SiI really want to maintain this posture...
Their intimacy did not make the third person in the room seem particularly out of place.
As Sakayanagi Arisu threw herself into Hoshino En's arms, Shiina Hiyori made her move as well: she reached out and grabbed Hoshino En's hand that was on her chin, their fingers intertwined, but she did not compete with Sakayanagi Arisu for Hoshino En's embrace, instead turning around to stand behind him.
She lay down behind Hoshino En, wrapped her arms around Hoshino En neck from behind so he could rest his head on her shoulder, and rested her face against Hoshino En other side.
"This... it feels like we've already become a family."
"I just don't know where I'll hold the baby after we have one..."
Child?
Oh, my child...
Hoshino En glanced at the three people's current postures, and her mind involuntarily began to think.
Indeed, the child should have been held in Sakayanagi's current spot, but Sakayanagi has already taken that spot, the child's place can only be --
"Let Kamuro hug you."
"Becoming a mother" is a physiological instinct that every woman has. By letting Kamuro hold her, she can not only avoid the pain of childbirth and directly experience the happiness of being a mother, but she also doesn't have to pay for raising the child and has no financial pressure at all... I believe she would be very happy to accept this job.
His sudden answer startled the two people in front of and behind him.
Let Kamuro hug me... that seems like a good idea!
Kamuro Masumi at the entrance. "..."
Ah... Ah... Ah... Achoo!!!
Hmm~ Why am I suddenly getting this creepy feeling? Is someone maliciously harassing me from behind? ￣@
