As the weather grew hotter, July slowly arrived.
Many students thought the class points wouldn't change, but unexpectedly, they did.
Class A: 1004
Class B: 796
Class C: 572
Class D: 87
According to Tomonari Mashima explanation, this was a reward for each class based on last month's midterm exam results and their overall performance.
While Class A saw a significant increase, Class D finally wasn't at zero points anymore.
They must have improved many of their bad habits, which prevented their class points from being reset to zero.
For Suzune Horikita, this should be a confidence booster.
However, with only about two months left until sumr vacation, the shorter the ti, the greater her pressure. No matter how unwilling she was, she would eventually have to face reality.
Kaoru Mitoma looked at his classmates.
Although so were worried that Class B and Class C might catch up, nearly half a sester had passed, and the point gap remained unshaken, so those worries gradually diminished.
If nothing unexpected happened, Class A would maintain its absolute lead and eventually graduate as seniors. This was the optimistic view of many.
From the current perspective, the conflict within Class A wasn't too severe. Occasionally, mbers of the Katsuragi faction and the Sakayanagi faction could be seen chatting, though there was no clear common leader.
Well, there was a shared treasurer.
"Your personal points have decreased compared to last month" Ai Morishita stood beside Kaoru Mitoma, her twin braids naturally hanging down her neck, her chest slightly raised, as she stared intently at the screen of his phone.
"I don't know where I spent them. The amount is too large, and I didn't pay attention to it" Kaoru Mitoma transferred his personal points to her account.
Her account held half of the class personal points, and over three months, it had accumulated nearly six million personal points.
"As a personal suggestion, you should keep track of your expenses regularly" Morishita Ai frowned slightly. Ever since Kaoru Mitoma handed over the class finances to her, she had started learning how to manage accounts.
Otherwise, her personal points could easily get mixed up with the class. Moreover, reliable expense records could earn the trust of the entire class, preventing certain troubleso situations from arising. Over ti, Morishita Ai inexplicably beca very concerned about these ssy financial matters.
"I'm not good with numbers. Could you help out?" Kaoru Mitoma said with a serious tone.
"Professional tasks should be left to professionals. That's my life motto."
She thought he was joking, but to her surprise, he replied honestly.
"I'm not your personal accountant, nor your personal assistant. I'm very busy."
Kaoru Mitoma blinked and tentatively asked. "Can I hire you?"
"There's a student in Class D nad KoenjiRokusuke. I heard he spent nearly a million in a month. Outside school, he seems to be the heir of a wealthy family" Morishita Ai said.
"I can't imagine why you would spend more than a wealthy heir unless these personal points aren't just for your own expenses."
As she spoke, she reached out to Kaoru Mitoma.
"Let see the bill."
Morishita Ai didn't seem to be very sensitive to personal boundaries. Asking for his phone directly like this was a serious invasion of privacy.
"I'll recomnd you to the student council president to be the next treasurer" Kaoru Mitoma casually changed the subject.
Morishita Ai withdrew her hand and shook her head. "That sounds troubleso. I don't want to."
With that, she walked over to the next classmate, confirming their personal points and then accepting their transfer. Although she had said it was troubleso, Morishita Ai seed to have recently beco fascinated with this feeling of collecting "taxes."
Kaoru Mitoma turned around and happened to catch Kamuro Masumi silently averting her gaze. She was resting her chin on her hand, staring straight out the window, seemingly lost in thought.
"Are you mad?"
Kamuro Masumi glanced at him sideways, saying nothing.
"I didn't think things through last ti. I'll find a place later, and we can do it again" Kaoru Mitoma said sincerely.
Kamuro Masumi tried to keep a straight face but couldn't help giving him a sidelong glance, annoyed.
"Who wants to do it with you? Go do it with whoever you want!"
"I'd like to, but you're different" Kaoru Mitoma thought for a mont.
"You're the one I think about the most. Sitting next to all the ti, you always make feel restless."
For so reason, seeing him so unabashed, Kamuro Masumi anger subsided.
Why should she be mad at such a pervert?
"I really want to ask the teacher to change seats."
"Where are you going to leave ?"
"Haha, how about sitting you next to Sakayanagi?"
"..."
Kaoru Mitoma suddenly fell silent, and this subtle feeling montarily stunned Kamuro Masumi, who then beca even more annoyed. So, you really thought about it?
"I regret it. I shouldn't have talked to soone like you," Kamuro Masumi said as she pulled a gift box from her bag and threw it at Kaoru Mitoma.
"I hope you leave soon!"
Seeing the girl like this, Kaoru Mitoma was montarily stunned.
He then looked at the gift box in his hand. Did she know it was his birthday? Wait, if Sakayanagi Arisu knew his birthday, it wasn't hard to imagine that she would tell her pet. In fact, it made perfect sense.
"When exactly did you find out?"
"Sakayanagi looked into you a long ti ago."
So, both of them knew his birthday from the start?
Kaoru Mitoma expression turned strange. It wasn't surprising that the Wish Machine had helped him replicate his identity details, but what was strange was them. No wonder Kamuro Masumi agreed to the bet and willingly followed him to the rooftop.
Could it have been intended as a birthday gift reward? Of course, he couldn't guess the girl exact thoughts, but Kamuro Masumi usually didn't hide her emotions, which made it easier to speculate.
Kaoru Mitoma played with the rectangular gift box in his hands. It was sowhat heavy, and he wondered what was inside.
"Wait, don't open it now!"
"Why?"
"Because I'd be embarrassed!"
"..."
....
The first day of July, the 92nd day since he arrived in this world, should be a day worth commorating.
Kaoru Mitoma received two birthday gifts in total, one was a set of casual clothes bought for him by Sakayanagi Arisu, and the other was Kamuro Masumi gift.
Later, when he returned to his dorm and opened it, he found a pen and a notebook inside. There was also a birthday card with "Happy Birthday" written on it.
Judging from the handwriting, it was likely written by Kamuro Masumi herself.
This girl, who hardly had any friends, might have considered him a friend?
It's said that sharing a secret can enhance the closeness of a relationship.
