I endured the humiliation and humiliation while being besieged by the ghost story elder sister.

Her gaze was as if she wanted to devour them alive. Arisa had never seen anything like it before. Moreover, after settling them in, the teacher went to the office to do something.

Just as Arisa was nervously twisting her fingers, unsure of what to do, she heard the slow, deliberate sound of high heels clicking on the floor outside the reception room.

She had heard that familiar noise countless times and almost instantly recognized that her mother had arrived. A surge of confidence washed over her as she arrogantly glared at the group of domineering parents opposite her, causing them to pause in surprise.

Then, the door to the reception room was pushed open without any politeness, and two figures, one tall and one short, appeared in front of everyone.

Once Arisa confirmed that it was her mother, she couldn't help but whisper, "Mom~ you're finally here~"

"Sister Fanxia, ​​what's with your outfit?"

It was the first time I'd ever seen Himo dressed so formally, so I was taken aback for a moment before asking her a question out of curiosity.

"Well~ it's what I wore when I went to receive the award, Mio, you don't need to worry about it too much~"

As the parents of Nozomi and Arisa arrived, the parents of the several unreasonable, delinquent girls on the other side were still trying to overwhelm them with their imposing manner.

But they discovered that even in Ashi's unintentional movements, her every gesture exuded a unique aura, as if she completely disregarded them.

Just as the atmosphere in the cramped meeting room was about to reach freezing point, the teachers in charge of the incident entered the room.

Among them was the coach of Ximiao's basketball club. Because of the fight, some club members were also involved, but if so many parents were called over at once, it would be difficult not to keep a low profile.

Therefore, after much consideration, the school decided that it would be more prudent to have the women's basketball team's coach come over.

The two people standing next to them were the homeroom teacher of Class A in the first year and the dean of students' academic affairs.

As the teachers took their seats, the parents opposite them exchanged glances. After confirming their suspicions, they decided to play the victim and began to complain.

"Teacher, your school has to be fair to our child! They just saw a boy go into the locker room and wanted to teach him a lesson, so why is the school saying it's our fault!"

Upon hearing what this parent said, Xi Ling was taken aback. He really didn't expect that this group of unreasonable parents would start with him.

However, the female teacher who was Ximiao's homeroom teacher sneered, then put her phone on the table and played an audio file in the meeting room.

Upon closer listening, it was the same set of words spoken by these delinquent girls when they were about to attack Nozomi.

It was only because Arisa had the foresight to record the call while answering Nozomi's call that she left behind evidence.

The parent who had spoken first turned pale and then flushed, looking quite displeased. He glared fiercely at his daughter standing behind him, seemingly questioning why such evidence had been left behind.

Seeing that the parents had nothing more to say, the teacher spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Your child has committed bullying and violated school rules, not to mention bringing drugs and forcibly feeding them to the victim. The school doctor in the infirmary is a witness. The school and Ximiao will reserve the right to prosecute you."

Upon hearing the teacher's words, the parents, who had initially been confident and planned to unite to distort the truth, suddenly panicked.

One of them said, "We pay such high tuition fees and sponsorships to the school every year, is this how your school operates?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of sneer from Ashi, who had been silent all along.

"why are you laughing?!"

"No, I just suddenly thought of something happy~"

Asi quickly adjusted her expression and said very seriously.

After seeing that Ashi had spoken, the director of the disciplinary office cleared his throat, indicating that he had something to say and asked the parents of the delinquent girls who were still planning to use money to make trouble to calm down.

He slowly said, "In terms of status, although everyone here is somewhat well-known in society, in both public and private matters, your status is not as high as this lady's."

As he spoke, he looked very respectfully at Ashi, who was still sitting calmly on the sofa with her legs crossed.

"Ms. Chiya Ami is an honorary trustee of our school, and this surname should not be unfamiliar to you, right? If you intend to continue to bring up money, please consider your own position."

After saying this, the director of the teaching affairs office gestured for the teacher next to him to continue, while he leaned back on the sofa, looking completely unperturbed.

If it weren't for the fact that all the principals happened to be absent today, it wouldn't have been his turn, as a mere director, to receive this honorary school board member.

What he said was also a warning to the parents of those troubled girls: this terrible incident is different from the past, and he hoped they would behave themselves.

then.

The ensuing conversation was filled with arguments as the parents continued to try to distort the facts with fallacies.

This contrasted sharply with the composed Aunt Ami and Sister Fanxia, ​​who sat quietly, unsure of what to say.

Chapter 106 Intentional or Accidental?

This meeting between the parents of both sides was actually a farce, a display of the abuser's sophistry and the victim's indifferent indifference.

No matter how much the parents of the group of delinquent girls on the other side jumped around, Ami and Honoka both looked on as if they were watching a show. But it was precisely this attitude that made the teacher on the side sweat profusely, fearing that her handling of the situation would not satisfy the honorary school board member.

Furthermore, Xi Ling was a top student specially invited by their school to boost their college admission rate to prestigious universities, while on the other side was a delinquent girl who didn't study hard. It goes without saying which side was more important.

Soon after, the director of the disciplinary office announced the punishment for the delinquent girls: a year's suspension from school (in reality, repeating a grade) and a school-wide reprimand. He and the two teachers beside him then left the meeting room.

As for the girls' basketball club members who also participated in the fight, they will naturally be notified throughout the school, but rather their acts of bravery will be praised rather than criticized.

Upon receiving this news, the expressions on the faces of the parents on the other side were as if they had swallowed bugs.

Seeing this, Honoka and Ami didn't intend to stay in the reception room any longer. The school bell had already rung, and they had been there long enough.

then.

"Mio~ Let's go. We'll just eat out for dinner tonight~"

After sitting on the sofa for so long, she couldn't help but stretch and then spoke to Xi Ling, who was sitting on the small stool behind her.

"Eh?"

Before he could answer, Aunt Ashi followed suit and started talking to Arisa about where they were going to have fun after leaving school, completely ignoring the parents who were still there.

As for Himo and Arisa, they naturally had no reason to refuse, and after readily agreeing, they walked out of the meeting room together, leaving behind the parents who had not been able to resolve the matter, staring at each other, not knowing what to do next.

All I could see was a clean and tidy corridor outside.

Since it was club activity time, the students who were supposed to go home had already gone home, and those who participated in clubs had already started their club activities. Apart from a few of them, there was no one else in the corridor, and it looked empty.

"I never expected you to be so amazing, Ms. Ami!"

Although she didn't get a chance to speak at all and could only let Asa talk on the side while she shouted "666", Fanxia still took in what the director of the teaching affairs office said.

This seemingly kind and approachable Miss Ami, who always throws out gold coins to treat her and Mio to meals, actually has such a powerful background.

Although she knew before that Arisa's family was very wealthy, she never imagined they would be this wealthy.

While Honoka and Ami were chatting idly ahead, Nozomi and Arisa, who were following behind them, were also whispering about something.

"Hey, isn't Aunt Ashi usually quite low-key? How come today, the head of the teaching department spilled all her secrets?"

Hiyo asked Arisa with some curiosity.

After all, compared to him, an outsider, Arisa, who had spent so many years with her own mother, would certainly be able to understand Aunt Ashi's thoughts to some extent.

Upon hearing Hio's question, Arisa smiled dismissively and then ruthlessly exposed her mother's little scheme.

She said, "Mom must have spoken to the head of student affairs beforehand. After all, it only sounds sophisticated when someone else mentions your status."

"..."

To my surprise, the reason was so simple that even Hio Mio didn't know what to say.

Soon, they deliberately passed by the classroom and asked Nozomi and Arisa to pack their things. After getting their bags, the group headed down to the bottom of the teaching building.

After the group walked out of the school gate, Aunt Ashi started planning where they should go for a meal.

It's only a little past three o'clock now, so she definitely needs to kill some time before going to have dinner, which makes her a little conflicted.

"It's still early. Mio and Arisa, is there anywhere you two would like to go?"

Unable to come up with a solution, she decided to pass the question on to the inseparable young couple behind her, wanting to see what decision they would make.

Upon hearing this, the two were stunned for a moment, and after stammering for a long time, they were unable to come up with a coherent explanation.

Now, as if she had seen an opportunity, Fanxia seized the chance to speak.

"No way~ You two never go on dates? I thought you were planning to go on vacation, so you'd already decided where to go in advance~"

"..."

This time, it was Arisa's turn to be speechless. Ever since she started receiving tutoring from Himo, she spent her weekends either doing homework together or having Himo tutor her.

On the rare occasions when Mio worked part-time at a photography studio in Ginza, he was so exhausted that he would just grab a quick bite outside and go home.

Going to the mall, however, meant being surrounded by two glaringly obvious third wheels, which made her feel quite annoyed.

But she couldn't complain at this time, otherwise she would really fall into the trap that Fanxia had set for her.

then.

After racking her brains for a while, she suddenly had an answer in her mind.

……

Inside a large shopping mall in Roppongi.

They took the tram back to their apartment first, because they were already a bit tired of shopping in the malls in Ginza, so Arisa specifically chose to go here.

Inside the mall, Ximiao looked around with some curiosity. Although it lacked the luxury of Ginza, it was full of novelty.

"What~ Is this your first time here, Mio?"

I don't know when, but Fanxia walked up to Ximiao and asked this question after seeing his curious expression.

"Fanxia-jie, you've been here before?"

"I guess so... When my best friend came to visit before, she asked me what fun places there were nearby. Of course, I, being a homebody, didn't know anything about it. So she searched online herself."

As she said this, Fanxia shrugged, seemingly feeling somewhat helpless about her best friend's capricious behavior.

However, this was not their destination.

They saw Xi Ling and her friends take the escalator to the upstairs indoor arcade, which was extremely popular.

Because their parents were present, even though Arisa and Nozomi were still wearing their St. Martin's Private High School uniforms, they weren't stopped by the security guards at the entrance.

As soon as she stepped into the store, the loud background music made Ashi, who had never been to such a place before, frown and say something.

"very noisy……"

"Just bear with it a little longer, Mom~ This kind of place needs to be a bit noisy so the guests won't get too bored~"

As she spoke, Arisa went to the front desk, quickly exchanged a lot of game coins, and handed them to the group.

"Alright~ Let's kill some time here before having dinner~"
