Classroom of the Elite, I Can Post My Master's Missions

But this was also what he wanted to see.

He had to secure the iconic handprint scene, because it was simply perfect for posting a mission.

As for Wang Meiyu, all he could do for now was apologize.

He would definitely make it up to her later for the suffering she endured at Kikyo Kushida's hands.

Volume One: 18, Beware of Kikyo Kushida

"Um... Nangong, could I ask you to help me with something?"

Kikyo Kushida chose to skip over this awkward topic, but she thought that she should see whether she could exchange for a skill that granted fluency in the language of the Celestial Empire in the system shop.

Otherwise, if Nangong Cheng badmouthed her behind her back and she not only failed to understand him but also smiled along with him, she would look like a complete clown.

"Go ahead, Kushida. If it's within my abilities, I'll definitely help you."

He had guessed what she wanted to say in zero seconds.

Still, Nangong Cheng played along.

"It's just... Before the class meeting on the first day of school, weren't we asked to introduce ourselves?"

"I said at the time that I hoped to become friends with everyone, but I've never been able to communicate properly with Horikita..."

Kikyo Kushida blinked cutely on purpose, then revealed a hint of hurt.

"So I noticed that you and Horikita are deskmates, and I just saw you two chatting a little. I was wondering if I could ask you to invite her to meet me... That's all."

Nangong Cheng nodded.

Seeing this, Kikyo Kushida was just about to put on a smile when Nangong Cheng suddenly shook his head.

He said--

"Being able to talk to someone ≠ having a good relationship. I think you should understand that, right, Kushida?"

"Besides, with your social circle, Kushida, have you really still not heard about the conflict between Horikita and me at the school gate on the first day?"

"So I'm afraid I can't help you with this."

Nangong Cheng spread his hands helplessly, putting on an expression that suggested he wanted to help but was powerless.

"Oh... I see..."

Kikyo Kushida forced a smile.

She had not merely heard about it. She had even witnessed it as a bystander at the scene.

After all, she had gotten out of the same car as them.

But for some reason, she felt that Nangong Cheng's nod just now had been deliberately meant to toy with her.

Unfortunately, she had no proof.

"Sorry, I jumped to conclusions."

"It's fine. I understand how you feel."

Nangong Cheng waved his hand, then turned his gaze once more toward Wang Meiyu, who had been listening nearby.

"When I heard Wang say during her introduction that she was from the Celestial Empire, I felt much the same way you did, Kushida. I wanted to become friends with her and talk about anything and everything."

"But you can't force these things. Besides, Wang seems a little introverted, and I was afraid I might scare her."

Wang Meiyu's face flushed bright red, and she hurriedly shook her head.

"If you had said you were also from the Celestial Empire back then, Nangong, we probably would have become friends much sooner."

"In that case, shall we add each other as friends first?"

"Mm!"

Kikyo Kushida watched like an outsider as the two of them suddenly exchanged contact information, one line after another.

Wait... you two?

What happened to not leaving me out?

"Sorry, Kushida. Something urgent came up, so I have to leave for a bit. Let's get together again next time."

"...Okay."

What else could Kikyo Kushida say? She could only watch Nangong Cheng hurry away until he disappeared from her sight.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Wang Meiyu's expression looked rather strange.

"Meiyu-chan?"

"Ah! Sorry, Kushida. I spaced out for a moment."

Wang Meiyu hurriedly put away her phone.

But beneath the screen that had already gone dark, a message from Nangong Cheng was displayed, written in Romanized letters--

[Beware of Kikyo Kushida.]

Elsewhere.

Nangong Cheng had no idea what outrageous scheme Kikyo Kushida had come up with. He only knew that something fair and beautiful had appeared on his phone.

[Sakura, what is this...?]

That was right. A selfie from Sakura Airi was displayed on Nangong Cheng's phone screen.

It was not Sakura Airi's usual appearance, but Shizuku's.

Those twin tails made his DNA stir.

Although she was clearly covered up from head to toe, looking at her still made him feel hungry.

[S-sorry... I want to buy some new clothes, but I'm having trouble choosing, so... I wanted to ask you to help me see which one suits me better, Nangong...]

[Am I... bothering you?]

[If so... I can ask you another time?]

Through the messages, Nangong Cheng could almost see Sakura Airi's nervous face.

Look what he had done to the poor girl.

He really was beyond saving!

Things had already come to this. All he could do was make it up to her more in the future.

[You're not bothering me. I'm just a little surprised.]

[Actually, I don't know much about girls' clothes either... But judging by my personal taste, I think all these clothes suit you quite well, Sakura.]

[After all, I never expected that Sakura would be so beautiful and cute after taking off her glasses and changing her hairstyle. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would have been hard to believe, right?]

The message was marked as read the instant he sent it.

But her reply never came.

Nangong Cheng was not surprised by this reaction.

Sakura Airi could not exactly be called timid as a mouse, but she could certainly be said to possess an innate constitution for being bullied.

As for Hitori Gotoh, saying she had this condition in Classroom of the Elite would be an understatement.

It was perfectly normal for her brain to overload in response to someone else's praise.

So Nangong Cheng was in no hurry. He simply walked toward the cafeteria while patiently waiting for Sakura Airi's reply.

[Sorry for making you wait, Nangong...]

[This is the first time... someone my age has called me beautiful and cute like this, so I'm a little excited...]

[Since you said they all suit me, I was wondering whether I should buy them all, but I also want to buy a digital camera, so my budget only allows for one...]

[Could you help me choose one, Nangong?]

If she put it that way, he was wide awake now.

Nangong Cheng instinctively wanted to choose the open-back sweater that best accentuated the girl's proud figure, but fortunately, his head managed to keep his lower head in check.

If she bought it only to wear for him, that would be fine. But if she planned to wear it outside, he was not willing to accept that.

[You want me to choose? But I don't know your situation, Sakura... Do you want to wear it in the dormitory, or when you go out on your days off?]

This time, her reply came very quickly.

[...In the dormitory.]

[I don't really like going outside... So if I really have to go out for something... I'll probably still wear my uniform.]

Nangong Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

With a hint that obvious, he stopped pretending.

[Then choose the white open-back sweater.]

[But summer isn't far away either. You may have to buy another set of seasonal clothes by then.]

After the message was marked as read, the conversation fell silent again.

Nangong Cheng was not in a hurry. He ordered a deluxe set meal at the counter, then found a quiet corner and sat down.

[[Image]][[Image]][[Image]]

[Thanks for helping me choose, Nangong. These are a few photos I asked the store clerk to take for me when I was checking out just now.]

[As for the seasonal clothes you mentioned, I'd also like to ask you to help me choose when the time comes... Is that okay?]

Of course it was okay. Absolutely.

Please send him more. He loved looking at them.

Nangong Cheng had just been about to reply when Sakura Airi sent another message.

[So compared to the me in the classroom, you prefer the current me, right, Nangong?]

Perhaps because they were separated by a screen, Sakura Airi was becoming bolder and bolder.

But Nangong Cheng did not dislike this.

Because he would make this side of the girl become something exclusive to him alone from now on.

So he decisively typed his reply.

[Actually, I want to say that I like both versions of you, Sakura... But I can't deny that the current you is indeed more charming.]

At that moment, inside the changing room of the clothing store.

[Mission complete]

[Mission reward: Host obtained 500 points]

After seeing Nangong Cheng's reply, Sakura Airi, in her Shizuku form, lowered her head and pressed her phone against her full chest.

Her voice sounded muffled.

"Thank you..."

There have been updates during both the day and night these past few days. The schedule will gradually be adjusted to evening updates from now on.

Volume One: 19, It's Time to Put Anti-Gravity Technology on the Agenda

Nangong Cheng knew exactly what he was doing.

Wasn't he simply acting like a scumbag?
