Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 16 Horikita's Compromise (Happy Valentine's Day, fellow readers)
Horikita didn't believe Ryuen's lies.

Unable to finish a single sip of cappuccino, Horikita picked up the hot coffee and put it down again.

Horikita couldn't figure out what Ryuuen was trying to do by planning for so long and setting such a big trap for him.

Do they want to defeat Class D? Class D is not a threat to Class C in its current state. Ryuen's competition should be Class B.

Horikita, who couldn't figure it out, responded to all changes with the same attitude. Since Ryuuen took the initiative to find her, she must have something he wanted, or something she needed to do for him.

"Don't smile at me, it's disgusting." Horikita sat opposite Ryuuen and stared at the coffee in his hand.

"Sneaking at me?"

"Your words are more disgusting than you are. Shut up."

"Are you sure you want me to shut up? If I don't talk you won't get any points to help those losers in Class D."

"Then stop saying things that disgust me and just state your demands."

"This is not the attitude of begging, but I was born a forgiving person, so I forgive you."

"Narcissistic." Horikita stirred the coffee with a spoon, eliminating the latte art.

Long Yuan didn't care. The more unruly a kitten was, the more people wanted to tame it.

"Horikita, be mine." Ryuuen no longer concealed his feelings.

"What do you mean?" Horikita Suzune felt that this sentence had many meanings. She didn't know which one Ryuen was talking about, but she was not in a hurry to refuse. She wanted to see what Ryuen would say next.

"literal meaning."

"I don't believe you like me, and this pursuit method is despicable and makes people sneer." Horikita took a sip of coffee. The temperature was just right, but it was not to Horikita's taste.

"I admire you and hope you can be of use to me in the future."

"Impossible." Horikita refused decisively.

"No need to talk?"

"No need to negotiate. If the points require me to sacrifice myself in exchange, then the price is too high and I won't do it."

"Even if because of this, your D class will never be promoted to A class?"

Horikita was a little shaken, but still shook her head: "If I agree to you, then Class D will really have no hope."

"You said I was narcissistic. Horikita, you are narcissistic too. You think you are so important." Ryuuen naturally knew that Horikita would not sacrifice herself for the class.

Ichinose would do that, but Horikita wouldn't.

"Remember the previous contract? If I don't lend you points and those idiots drop out, then the points your class will receive next month will be 0. According to the terms of the contract, if you don't repay on time, you will have to do the housework for me." Ryuen looked like he had Horikita in his hands.

"Humph, just cleaning. You may not know that I always got full marks in home economics in junior high school."

Although it didn't taste good, Horikita, who was a little thirsty, still drank half a cup of coffee.

Ryuen smiled, but he kindly reminded Horikita: "It's more than just cleaning. Housework is also called housekeeping. It includes the seven necessities of life: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea, as well as sewing and mending. Washing and changing, raising livestock and poultry, building houses, purchasing and storing furniture, having sons and daughters, concluding marriages, educating children, socializing with the elderly, relatives and friends, entertaining at weddings and funerals, arranging daily life during festivals, handling conflicts between family members, and so on."

Seeing Horikita's shocked expression, Ryuen added: "This is what is said in the dictionary, word for word. If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself." Horikita's face turned ugly. She didn't want to give birth to children for Ryuen because of a piece of paper: "I will borrow points and return it to you on time."

"Who should I borrow from? Your brother? You may not know this, but it was your brother who proposed the reform of the examination paper."

Horikita was a little bit unbelievable that even her brother was on Ryuuen's side.

Being too aggressive would only backfire, just like the saying "Don't chase a desperate enemy". Ryuuen didn't want to push Horikita too hard, it would be bad if she became desperate and fought to the death.

"I don't actually have that many requirements for you. I can lend you one million points. As a condition, you have to clean my meals and dormitory until you pay off these debts." Long Yuan said slowly.

"That's all?" Horikita couldn't believe it was that simple. After all, he had just suffered a loss and was not easy to trust others now.
"Of course not. I have an additional request. You have to dress according to my preferences in my dormitory. If you want to see the maid today, you can change into a maid outfit." Ryuuen seemed certain that Horikita would accept his conditions.

“I don’t have the money to buy those clothes.”

"I'll prepare it for you."

Horikita stopped talking, feeling helpless as if she was being manipulated in every way.

Ryuen took out a new contract. Horikita checked the contents of the contract three times before signing it, fearing that Ryuen would play word games with him again.

One million points were directly transferred to Horikita's account, and Horikita transferred them directly to Ayanokouji. Then she followed Ryuen back to the dormitory and helped Ryuen prepare dinner.

On the way here, Horikita felt something was wrong, and thought that if Ryuuen liked the nude apron style, then she would have to satisfy him according to the contract. Horikita realized it belatedly and became a little scared.

As expected, the outfit that Ryuuen prepared for Horikita was not an ordinary maid outfit, but compared to the nude apron, Horikita could still accept the cat-ear maid outfit.

Horikita wore a black maid outfit. The dress was simple yet gorgeous, with a slim fit and contrasting white neckline, cuffs and belt, highlighting her slender figure. The hem of the skirt was wavy, showing off her agile figure.

A pair of black cat ears are worn on the top of the head, which complements the overall outfit. The inside of the cat ears is made of white fur, which further highlights their soft and cute characteristics. A black bow is tied behind the cat ears, adding a sense of playfulness.

She wears a pair of white gloves with open fingertips for household chores. The edges of the gloves are decorated with lace, adding a touch of elegance.

On her feet, she wore a pair of black high-heeled leather shoes, which made her look slender and dignified. The details of the shoes were inlaid with sequins or beads, adding a sense of luxury to the whole look.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Long Yuan clapped his hands and praised: "It's so beautiful."

Not wanting to pay any attention to Ryuuen, Horikita just wanted to quickly prepare dinner and leave. The clothes she wore were extremely embarrassing.

As for why Ryuuen knew Horikita's measurements, height and weight, Horikita was not surprised at all. This information could be purchased from the teacher as long as he was willing to spend points.

Horikita, who was cooking dinner in the kitchen, took off her gloves and put on an apron. This white apron was bought by Kikyo before, but now it has become Horikita's equipment. Sometimes fate likes to play tricks on people.

What Horikita said about her perfect housekeeping skills was not exaggerated. Her cooking skills really satisfied Ryuen. She even added some embellishments to the exquisite dishes, which made people very appetizing.

"Tell me, is there any way to make you continue to be my maid?" Ryuuen teased Horikita while eating the salad Horikita made.

"dream!"

Horikita also stayed for dinner. This was not Ryuen's request, but Horikita's own decision. In Horikita's opinion, since she made the dinner herself, it would be okay to make an extra portion. She happened to not have many points, so eating with Ryuen could also save points. However, she felt a little unhappy.

Of course, Ryuen knew what Horikita was thinking. It was good for the two of them to eat together. Ryuen would be happy to have the beautiful girl accompany him, and Horikita would be more attentive when cooking, after all, she also had to eat. Ryuen couldn't help but admire Horikita in his heart. It was rare that he could adapt so quickly and find a way to benefit himself in this situation, and he would not make wrong judgments because of his emotions.
