Walking back to the dorm, Kaoru Mitoma still couldn't forget what had just happened. He didn't expect it to be so easy to get a girl to give in. As expected, how much leverage matters really depends on how much the person involved cares about it.
Ichinose Honami was clearly deeply regretful about her act of stealing, feeling a strong sense of self-loathing, which was why she was so afraid of him exposing her. But putting Ichinose Honami aside, the bigger problem was Nagumo Miyabi. As the vice president of the student council, he actually wanted to use a first-year student—what was he planning?
If it was just the four classes competing with each other, Nagumo Miyabi wouldn't need to bother with the first-years at all. So, does that an there'll be inter-grade competition in the future?
Kaoru Mitoma let out a sigh. Whether it was his own horoom teacher Tomonari Mashima, or the upperclassn, none of them were people he could really feel at ease around.
If Sakayanagi Arisu still doesn't make a move, he'll have to start thinking about consolidating the class. Yeah, he's not interested in any kind of competition. What matters most is still achieving his goal, and this way he can save more energy.
He doesn't want to get dragged down by a bunch of people while he's working toward his wish. Just then, soone called out to him.
"Um, excuse , are you Mitoma-kun from Year 1 Class A?"
Kaoru Mitoma looked over and saw a few girls who seed to have just co back from the shopping district, their hands full of stuff. Judging by the amount, they must have spent quite a few points.
One of the girls really stood out. Her short, tea-colored hair shimred in the sunlight, and she wore a cute headband, with a bit of fringe peeking out. She wasn't very tall, but her legs were pale and soft-looking, bare thighs showing under her skirt, with a hint of plumpness. Her calves were wrapped in black stockings, just barely revealing a bit of skin underneath. What really caught the eye, though, was that despite her petite and slender fra, her oppai were incredibly well-developed. Even though her clothes didn't really show them off, you couldn't help but have your gaze drawn there.
"I want to see little angel Kushida-chan lose her composure,"
"Kushida-chan should be pinned to the bed and thoroughly taught a lesson,"
"Lead the charge to ostracize Kushida Kikyo,"
"Viciously lick Kushida Kikyo's beautiful feet,"
"Want to see Kushida-chan do a peace sign,"
"Fondle Kushida Kikyo Pillow"
...
Kaoru Mitoma was a little surprised—not because these wishes were getting more and more bizarre, but because he couldn't understand why this school had so many popular characters. In the previous world, only idols ever had wishes attached to them, regular people never did. He didn't expect to find them everywhere here. Was he sent over as so kind of wish-granting pioneer?
"You know ?"
Kaoru Mitoma asked her. Kushida Kikyo gave a relieved smile, then looked a bit embarrassed.
"Sorry, this should be our first ti eting. I'm Kushida Kikyo from Class 1-D. I heard about you from so of your classmates. Mitoma-kun, you're pretty famous among the girls."
As she spoke, a few girls next to her also looked at Kaoru Mitoma with curiosity.
"I don't rember doing anything that would make famous,"
Kaoru Mitoma said, a little confused. Seeing his reaction, Kushida Kikyo blinked.
"It's because you look like a celebrity. So people even thought you were an idol, but they couldn't find anything about you online."
There was really no way to respond to that.
"And soone saw you walking with a really cute girl, so they were wondering if you two were the first couple of the new school year or sothing,"
another girl with twin tails suddenly added, a little nervously. Kaoru Mitoma fell even more silent. She must have been talking about Sakayanagi Arisu. Do other people really think I'm tied to a middle schooler?
"Sorry, did we say too much?"
Kushida Kikyo glanced at his expression, looking a little apologetic.
"No, I just didn't expect anyone to co talk to ," Kaoru Mitoma replied.
"Sorry if this is a bit forward, but does that an you don't have any friends, Mitoma-kun?"
"I've just been a bit busy lately, haven't had ti to make friends,"
Kaoru Mitoma said, pretending to sound regretful.
"By the ti I realized it, everyone already had their own groups."
Kushida Kikyo looked a bit surprised, with a hint of sympathy.
"It's not too late, you know. I think if you just took the initiative a little, there'd definitely be people willing to welco you, Mitoma-kun."
Actually, the girls had secretly made a ranking of the most handso first-years. Based on Kaoru Mitoma looks, he should've easily taken first place. But since Kaoru Mitoma never tried to join any circles and seed hard to approach, he ended up in second place.
"I see, so it's my fault,"
"Can I be friends with you guys, Kushida-san?"
Kushida Kikyo was slightly taken aback. She should have been the one to bring this up first—why did he take the initiative?
How strange. This guy was unexpectedly bold.
"Of course! Actually, I wanted to get along better with you too, Mitoma-kun!"
As she spoke, Kushida Kikyo eagerly took out her phone. When she walked up to Kaoru Mitoma, a pleasant, girlish fragrance drifted over. Because of their height difference, Kaoru Mitoma could catch a glimpse of her collarbone, a faint snowy white hidden beneath her clothes. He couldn't see much, but it was strangely captivating.
"Alright, we've exchanged contacts now."
Kushida Kikyo face lit up with a happy smile, her neck fair and smooth. After that, Kaoru Mitoma exchanged contact info with her friends as well. No one really objected—after all, in this world, no one dislikes good-looking people. But maybe because of that, it felt like they were holding back a bit. Only Kushida Kikyo could talk to him normally.
"Is there a girl nad Horikita Suzune in your class?"
In that instant, Kushida Kikyo expression stiffened for a mont. Although she quickly recovered, that subtle change didn't escape Kaoru Mitoma notice.
"Ahaha, are you talking about Horikita?"
Kushida Kikyo said nonchalantly. "She's always by herself, doesn't seem to have any friends. So Suzuki-kun, you know her"
"No way, is there really no one who wants to be friends with Suzune?"
Kaoru Mitoma asked, feigning surprise. He actually used such a familiar nickna for Horikita Suzune, and Kushida Kikyo micro-expression beca even more interesting.
"No, actually, everyone wants to get along with Horikita, but she keeps turning us down." Kushida Kikyo sighed as if she had a headache.
"There's only one guy who can talk to her, and it seems like they've known each other from the start."
Kaoru Mitoma rembered the club orientation, where he'd seen a boy next to Horikita Suzune.
"Is his na Ayanokoji Kiyotaka?"
"Eh, Mitoma-kun, you know Ayanokoji too?"
Kushida Kikyo looked genuinely surprised. "You doesn't seem like soone without friends. Are you sure you're not lying to ?"
"I have a few friends, but I'm missing a Kushida." Kaoru Mitoma smiled. The handso guy smile, paired with those sly words, could probably win over a lot of girls. Kushida Kikyo narrowed her eyes, alarm bells ringing in her head. It seed like she'd finally t her match today.
"I've never had a friend like Mitoma-kun before. You're not as cold as the rumors say."
"Wanna hang out together next ti?"
"Ahaha, I think everyone would be happy to have you join us, Mitoma-kun."
