Shizuku Kitayama glanced at her watch, a sudden realization hitting her: Oh no! Time seems to be running out. She quickly turned to the other two and said, "Yes, let's hurry up and eat."
Baifeng Uesugi nodded in agreement. Then, they said in unison, "I'm starting." This short sentence sounded like a perfectly synchronized ritual.
Despite the suffocatingly tight schedule, this little ritual remains indispensable before the meal begins. Everyone grips their chopsticks tightly with their palms and solemnly utters that familiar line.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them quickly finished their breakfast. Looking at the time, they knew they were running out of time! Without lingering, they hurriedly rushed towards the school.
Fortunately, they made it to the classroom in the end, just in time to step onto the line. Looking at each other's disheveled yet relieved expressions, the three of them couldn't help but smile at each other.
The morning flew by, and after the classes ended, Baifeng Uesugi and his classmates went to the cafeteria for lunch. They sat around a table, enjoying their meal and chatting.
Just then, Erika Chiba suddenly spoke up, " Bai Feng- kun, did you know? Tatsuya has been invited to collaborate with Rei-chan -senpai on a thesis!"
Baifeng Uesugi was slightly surprised and replied, "Oh, I see. No wonder I didn't see Tatsuya today. He must have been busy with something." He had been wondering why he hadn't seen Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba today, but after hearing what Erika Chiba said, he suddenly understood why the two hadn't appeared in the cafeteria.
However, at this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Baifeng Uesugi's mind: it seems that just when Tatsuya Shiba and Rei-chan were working together on their thesis, First High School suffered a sudden attack!
The attack was so large that it spread throughout the entire city. It was said to stem from a conflict with another country, but the specific reason remained a mystery. It seemed that a crucial item had triggered the incident, but what exactly was it?
Baifeng Uesugi tried hard to recall, but only vague impressions remained. After all, it was information he had read a long time ago, and now all he could clearly remember were the major events that had left a deep impression on him.
However, he remembered that in the end everyone survived the attack unharmed, and Tatsuya Shiba even managed to put on a good show.
It's just unknown how much his arrival will change the course of this attack.
After so much time, Baifeng Uesugi has confirmed that because of his arrival, the plot here has begun to change slightly, and it is no longer exactly the same as the original story.
Seven days later.
After seven carefree and blissful days spent with Baifeng Uesugi and Shizuku Kitayama Honoka Mitsui, a crisp and pleasant notification sound suddenly rang out from his terminal device one night. However, Baifeng Uesugi, immersed in happiness, did not realize that this ringtone also foreshadowed the end of his wonderful life.
" Sister Maya, what made you think of looking for me?"
Upon seeing that the caller ID showed Maya Yotsuba, Baifeng Uesugi pressed the answer button without hesitation. Instantly, Maya Yotsuba's stunning beauty appeared on the television screen via video call. Her face was like a meticulously crafted masterpiece, every detail exuding captivating charm.
Her fair, snow-white skin seemed to radiate a faint glow, inspiring longing. And the vibrant red on her lips, like a blooming flower, added a touch of allure and charm.
Her eyes were like deep, mysterious lakes, drawing one to explore their secrets. Her high, straight nose accentuated the definition of her face. A slight upturn at the corners of her mouth carried a subtle smile, as if displaying her confidence and elegance to the world.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to still recognize me. I thought you'd forgotten your old flame after finding a new one!" Maya Yotsuba said with a light laugh, her words tinged with sarcasm and mockery. The slight upturn of her lips revealed an indescribable cunning, which made Baifeng Uesugi's heart tighten. His intuition told him that things might not be going well.
" Sister Maya, look at what you're saying! You are a unique and crucial person in my heart, how could I possibly forget you?" Baifeng Uesugi quickly explained with a fawning smile.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Maya Yotsuba Baifeng Uesugi, as if trying to see through his eyes to his true thoughts.
"I was so worried about your injury that I couldn't eat or sleep, fearing something might have happened to you. If it weren't for the trouble it would cause if your identity were exposed, I would have rushed back to find you long ago. I never imagined you would be so carefree, not only winning over two young girlfriends but also living such a carefree and pleasure-seeking life."
At this point, Maya Yotsuba paused deliberately, a hint of reproach in her eyes. Baifeng Uesugi, meanwhile, blushed furiously, feeling incredibly embarrassed and inwardly groaning.
"Oh no, what should I do now...?"
" Sister Maya, how... how did you find out about this?" Baifeng Uesugi stammered, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
Baifeng Uesugi suddenly realized why Maya Yotsuba so strangely today. It turned out that the two had made a prior agreement—no matter how many women appeared by his side in the future, she must always be first in line.
However, Nine Schools Competition, the atmosphere with Shizuku Kitayama Shizuku Kitayama had reached a certain point, and in a moment of passion, he completely forgot about it, and thus, he couldn't help but...
"What do you think? Hmph!" Maya Yotsuba's face showed displeasure, and she let out a soft, angry sigh.
"Okay, Sister Maya, I admit I was wrong, but in that situation, if I did nothing, would I even be a man?"
Baifeng Uesugi explained with an innocent expression.
"You're such a lecherous little devil! You just can't shake this bad habit! Listen up, I'm definitely seeing you at the Yotsuba Family tomorrow night, or else don't blame me for coming to your door myself!"
