"How did you all find out about me and Mayumi Saegusa?"
"It's like everyone knows."
Chiba Yeyou sounded puzzled.
Holy shit!
So the rumors were true!
He was even calling her by name!
He wasn't even calling her the student council president anymore!
The boys exchanged glances, then looked back at Chiba Yeyou with even greater admiration.
"Um, don't you use the school network?"
One of the boys asked.
"Oh?"
"There's something like that?"
Chiba Yeyou had forgotten that high schools had school networks.
"Well, thanks. Go on with whatever you were doing!"
Chiba Yeyou thanked them, then indicated that he was done asking questions and they could leave.
He raised his arm, and the bracelet on his wrist flashed. A screen of light appeared before him. He glanced at it, then froze.
Good lord!
Chiba Yeyou could only exclaim inwardly.
The entire front page was filled with little stories about him and Mayumi Saegusa.
The very first was: Shocking! He was the one who conquered Madam President!
Chiba Yeyou had only one thing to say: Fucking impressive!
The fucking clickbait department transmigrated too, huh?!
And this one!
What the fuck do you mean, "The untold stories of Madam President and me"?!
Oh, here's another!
He took Madam President's first time!
What the fuck!
Fuck!
He glanced at the comments below. Good lord, over four thousand. There weren't even that many students and teachers in the entire school, were there?
"Phew..."
Deep breath!
I'm not angry!
Which fucking bastard did this?!
Endure it for a moment and I can't breathe; take a step back and-fuck that!
No, the best thing to do now is distract myself. Think of something happy!
As they say, my happiness is built on other people's suffering!
If I can't have any fucking peace, neither can you!
"Hello, Madam President!"
Chiba Yeyou sent her a message directly.
"???"
"Chiba Yeyou?"
"How did you get my contact information?"
Elsewhere, Mayumi Saegusa was sitting in the student council office, handling the various matters related to the new students' enrollment, when she suddenly saw Chiba Yeyou's message. She was somewhat puzzled about how he had contacted her.
"Are you stoopid?"
"It's on the school network!"
Chiba Yeyou was speechless. Just how busy was she, for her IQ to have dropped?
"Oh, right!"
Only then did Mayumi Saegusa remember. To make it convenient to contact her, she had posted a public contact address there, but that was for contacting the student council about official business. Wasn't it a little inappropriate to use it to chat with her?
"I forgot we haven't exchanged contact information yet."
Mayumi Saegusa really had forgotten. Given the circumstances at the time, though, she had been too embarrassed to stay any longer, so they hadn't exchanged contact information.
Chiba Yeyou received her private contact information and promptly added her.
Leaning against the hallway window, he began finding amusement at Mayumi Saegusa's expense.
"My dear Madam President, have you checked the school network?"
A screen of light appeared before Mayumi Saegusa, displaying Chiba Yeyou.
"I'm not your Madam President!"
"Anyway, what exactly do you want?"
"If you have so much free time, shouldn't you come help me with a 'little something' as my secretary?"
Mayumi Saegusa spoke as she leafed through the documents.
Beside her, Azusa Nakajo and Suzune Ichihara both pricked up their ears.
This was the first and only man to have been romantically linked with the student council president!
The two handled their documents while enjoying the gossip, and even found the work less tiring.
"Aren't I just checking in on you?"
Chiba Yeyou sounded aggrieved.
You know, Mayumi Saegusa really does look beautiful when she's working!
Little temptress!
"Oh?"
"Junior, do you really care about me?"
Mayumi Saegusa suddenly stopped what she was doing and looked at the screen. Her serious expression left Chiba Yeyou at a loss.
I was just being fucking polite. Polite, understand?
Unfortunately, Madam President never played pretend. Seeing that Chiba Yeyou wasn't speaking, she leaned forward and stared at him.
Damn!
She definitely wants me to go work for her.
I'm not falling for that!
Hmm?
She's pretty well-endowed!
That's a little unexpected.
A baby face and huge breasts!
This is what you're using to test a cadre?
Who are you looking down on?
"Of course I care about you. That's why I came to show you something good!"
"Look at these people on the school network. They have such a way with words!"
As Chiba Yeyou spoke, he brought up the school network page. He hadn't forgotten to say what he had come for.
Bang!
Mayumi Saegusa's little hand suddenly clenched into a fist and slammed down on the documents. The blush on her face simply refused to leave.
"Look, these people speak so nicely, and their headlines are so original. Isn't it wonderful?"
Chiba Yeyou sounded as though he were marveling, or perhaps offering praise, looking for all the world as though everyone in the school understood him. Mayumi Saegusa was furious!
She had anticipated a brief stir, but it should have passed soon enough. After all, anyone who wasn't an idiot would know it was impossible. Who got together on the very first day they met?
Did they think this was a porno?
She truly hadn't expected these students to be this ridiculous. There were shocking claims that she and Chiba Yeyou might be engaged, claims that they were childhood sweethearts-they had even invented a night she had spent with him!
So this was a fucking surprise!
As Chiba Yeyou scrolled, all the comments and "headlines" on the page made Mayumi Saegusa's scalp prickle. That faint blush began inviting its friends along.
"So you two have so many stories together!"
Suzune Ichihara and Azusa Nakajo stood on either side of Mayumi Saegusa, murmuring incessantly.
"These are disasters!"
Mayumi Saegusa finally lost her composure and corrected Suzune Ichihara and Azusa Nakajo, her little face red.
"Oh, is that so?"
The two looked at Mayumi Saegusa and spoke in unison.
"My dear Madam President, see which one you like, and we can try it out tomorrow!"
Chiba Yeyou looked at Mayumi Saegusa with a grin.
"Chi-"
Snap!
The screen vanished.
"Hahaha!"
"How delightful!"
Chiba Yeyou's mood instantly soared.
Whistling, he walked toward the classroom ahead, whose sign read Year 1, Class A.
Upon entering the classroom, he was greeted by rows of large desks resembling workstations. Indeed, they could be called workstations, equipped with a full array of information facilities.
The students in the classroom were gathered in twos and threes, whispering or loudly discussing the future and showing themselves off. With Chiba Yeyou's arrival, the somewhat noisy scene abruptly fell silent. Everyone turned to look at him, as though the main character had arrived.
*???*
So I'm a conversation killer, huh?!
Or a silencer?
Do you all really have to react like that?
Chiba Yeyou silently snarked.
Then he stopped paying attention to them and went to his seat with his ID card.
Sit down, head down, sleep!
Sleep until school's out!
In his drowsy haze, he seemed to feel someone poking him with a hand.
And so, the sleeping Chiba Yeyou made a move that shocked every teacher and student present.
He caught that restless hand and pulled it toward himself.
What's this?
Pretty soft. Just right for a pillow.
There's even a faint fragrance.
First High School really is wonderful! The people are nice too!
So considerate!
They even brought me a pillow because they knew I wasn't sleeping comfortably.
What Chiba Yeyou didn't know, however, was that he had pulled a person over!
And that person was none other than Miyuki Shiba, who happened to be sitting beside him.
Miyuki Shiba lay sprawled across the desk, utterly stunned.
The entire class and a teacher stared at the fellow sleeping with his head pillowed on Miyuki Shiba, their scalps prickling!
Having the president wasn't enough for this guy-he wanted another one!
Anger!
Then came jealousy!
Stark, naked jealousy!
Why couldn't they be him?!
It was so unfair!
Hmm?
Why was it getting colder and colder?
Chiba Yeyou raised his head groggily, slowly opened his bleary eyes, and yawned.
"Comfortable?"
A cool, clear voice sounded beside his ear.
"Pretty good, just a little cold!"
Still not fully awake, Chiba Yeyou nodded blankly.
"You look half-asleep and still a little muddled. Let me wake you up!"
As Miyuki Shiba spoke, she threw a punch.
Attack detected. First protocol: prevent injury to the magician, activated! "Defense Countermeasure" forcibly activated! Defending... Defense complete!
An invisible defensive layer appeared over Chiba Yeyou's body.
Commencing devastating strike against the target...
"Stop the strike!"
Chiba Yeyou instantly snapped out of it and hurried to put a stop to it.
'Stopping strikes...' 'Stopped!'
Then the students saw a figure fly out of the window.
'Detected magician in free fall. Bone fractures predicted. First protocol activated. Formulating plan. Magic: "Gravity Imbalance" activated!'
Chiba Yeyou slowly floated down to the ground, stunning the students clustered at the windowsills.
No wonder that voice sounded so familiar. It was that little girl, Miyuki Shiba!
Only then did Chiba Yeyou realize.
"Mmm~"
Chiba Yeyou stretched luxuriously.
Still, that little girl smelled pretty nice!
And she was really soft, too!
Come to think of it, Tatsuya Shiba wouldn't come after me to kill me, would he?
Chiba Yeyou pictured Tatsuya Shiba's furious expression as he thought with a mischievous sense of amusement.
Chiba Yeyou also knew that this was only a misunderstanding, and Miyuki Shiba had vented her anger. After all, Tatsuya Shiba had received military-style training and came from a major family. He wouldn't have some brain-dead thought like You've already courted death over such a trivial matter.
"Ah!"
"I should still apologize to her!"
