The Underworld, Starting with Debt

"Definitely." After waving his hand, Ito Koshito watched Matsushita Masanao's figure disappear before entering the Yamada residence.

Just as he closed the door, Ito Koshito was suddenly tackled by a soft body, his nostrils filled with the aroma of milk, and his vision went dark.

When his sight returned, what caught his eye was Yamada Yumiko's dreamy eyes filled with hearts, her delicate little hands tightly wrapped around Ito Koshichi's waist, and she tilted her head back to kiss the corner of Ito Koshichi's mouth.

"Ah Zhi, I knew you would come to save me..."

Chapter 138 Dinner Invitation

Time flies, and before we know it, it's Friday, with only one day left until the weekend.

At Cheng Shen Academy, summer continues to spread, and the lush green sycamore leaves sway in the summer breeze, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

"Ring ring ring——"

A crisp bell rang out from the teaching building, breaking the hot and quiet midday.

Inside the health care room, the curtains were drawn tightly, like the wind-blown bricks of the Great Wall, keeping out any ray of sunlight. The room was pitch black, with only a faint ray of light filtering in through the crack in the doorway.

The cool breeze from the air conditioner occasionally rustled the curtains by the bed, making a soft sound that wasn't disturbing but rather made the quiet atmosphere even more drowsy.

On a bed at the very back of the infirmary, lay a young woman with a beautiful face and a shapely figure.

However, the woman looked somewhat haggard, with light dark circles under her eyes on her fair cheeks, her light-colored hair disheveled, and her white coat askew.

"Knock, knock, knock!" There was a knock on the door.

"Hmm~"

Mizuki Hazuki stretched and yawned, her sleepy eyes half-closed. She turned over, pulled the blanket up over her head, and continued to drift off to sleep.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was another knock on the door.

"Who is it..." Mizuki Hazuki called out groggily, with a hint of reproach in her voice.

"Suicheng Sensai, didn't you call me here?"

Outside, there was a familiar voice. Mizuki Hazuki remembered that it seemed that Ito Koshitoshi had been called over this morning. What was it for?

Rubbing her head, which was throbbing from staying up for several nights, Mizuki Hazuki slowly got up.

Reaching the door, they let Ito Koshitoshi in.

As the door was pushed open, a ray of light shone in from the entrance. Mizuki Hazuki squinted uncomfortably, and after a moment, Ito Koshitoshi's tall figure came into view.

The simple school uniform only accentuated her athletic physique: broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long, straight legs—a body with perfect proportions. Mizuki Hazuki swallowed hard, her heart racing inexplicably, her gaze involuntarily fixed on her.

'That brat...'

"come in."

After calming her inner turmoil, Mizuki Hazuki turned and went back to the infirmary.

Walking to the bedside, Mizuki Hazuki sat on the bed, her long, slender legs in white stockings crossed, her high heels bobbing up and down, her arches curving like crescent moons, outlining the delicate curves of her ankles.

"Ito-kun, what did I call you here for?" Hazuki Mizuki asked lazily, leaning against the headboard.

"Forehead......"

Sitting in the chair in front of the bed, Ito Koshito was slightly choked up, but still patiently explained.

"Sen-sai from Shuicheng, you said on Line that you couldn't sleep and asked me to come over and chat with you..."

"I was asleep, and you woke me up."

Before Ito Koshitoshi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mizuki Hazuki, who narrowed her eyes and stared at him intently.

"Uh...didn't you call me over?"

"I don't care, you woke me up."

Mizuki Hazuki said with a stern face, making a scene.

"Hey, Sensai, you can't be unreasonable..."

"Pfft~"

Suddenly, a soft laugh rang out, and it was seen that Mizuki Hazuki was covering her mouth and chuckling.

Ito Koshito was taken aback.

"Hahaha..." Mizuki couldn't help but burst into laughter again, her bright eyes full of cunning, completely dispelling her previous listless and dejected expression.

“Sen Sai, you…” Ito Kozue suddenly realized.

Mizuki Hazuki raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways at Ito Kozue. "Look how anxious you are. It was just a little joke."

Ito Koshito was speechless, but didn't say anything. He shoved the lunchbox into Mizuki Hazuki's arms and said irritably, "Here you go!"

Hazuki Mizuki was slightly taken aback and looked at Kotori Ito: "What's this?"

"I think you probably haven't eaten yet." After a pause, Ito Koshito continued, "It's easier to feel sleepy after eating. Get some rest, and don't stay up late all the time."

She pursed her lips, and Hazuki Mizuki's voice softened slightly.

"Are you concerned about me?"

Looking at the smiling Hazuki Mizuki in front of him, Ito Koshizuki rolled his eyes: "Yes, yes, yes. Hurry up and eat, I'm going back now."

"and many more."

Stopping Ito Koshitomo, Mizuki Hazuki asked, "Ito-kun, are you free tomorrow?"

tomorrow......

After a moment's hesitation, remembering that Mizuki Hazuki knew about his relationship with Tsukishima Kyoko, Ito Koshino raised his head and met her beautiful eyes, which held a mysterious smile:

"I have an appointment tomorrow... with Kyoko."

"Tsukishima Morisei?"

"Ah."

"What a coincidence! Tsukishima Mori invited me to dinner at Shirakawa Mori's house. Your date with Tsukishima Mori wouldn't be after dinner, would it?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you come with us?"

After thinking for a while, Ito Koshitoshi shook his head: "Never mind."

Originally, Ito Koshito planned to shamelessly join in when only Tsukishima Kyoko and Shirakawa Miwa were having dinner together. It wasn't for the purpose of throwing a party; some things can't be kept secret forever, and Ito Koshito didn't want to keep it from them either.

There always needs to be an opportunity to clarify things, and this dinner was originally intended to be a good opportunity to help the two best friends further develop into sworn sisters.

but......

Looking at Mizuki Hazuki again, Ito Kozue's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of resentment.

It seems we'll have to find another opportunity.

After smoothing her long, flowing hair, Mizuki Hazuki suddenly leaned forward, getting closer to Ito Kozue. Her red lining revealed glimpses of her ample breasts, and a fragrant aroma wafted through the air.

With a slight effort, her shapely white thighs, clad in white stockings, kicked off her high heels, and her delicate feet rested on Ito Koshito's thighs.

Ito Koshiki lowered his head, gazing at Mizuki Hazuki's delicate and charming face and her exposed, alluring white legs.

“Mizuki Morisei, you…” Ito Koshitoshi swallowed hard and spoke with difficulty.

"Ito-kun, I really like you."

After saying that, she suddenly hooked her arm around Ito Koshino's neck and pressed her lips against his cool, warm lips, stopping him from saying anything more.

"Well......"

......

After a long while, Mizuki Hazuki sat up on the bed again, straightened her messy red suspender shirt under her white coat, and her white-stockinged little feet were still in Ito Kozue's arms.

"Zhi-kun, are you really not going? Maybe I can become best friends with Tsukishima Saison~"

"So, you really aren't going?"

A smile played on Mizuki Hazuki's lips as she idly toyed with the hair that fell across her chest. Her eyes and brows exuded charm and allure, and her voice was so soft and seductive that it seemed to have a magical power to draw listeners in.

At this moment, Ito Koshichi was breathing heavily, his Adam's apple bobbing, as if a bright future was unfolding before him.

"I......"

The soft, white silk-clad feet gently trod on Ito Koshichi's abs. After a long silence, the allure of her beauty, combined with his own inner desires, finally made Ito Koshichi nod in agreement.

"Haha~"

Hazuki Mizuki chuckled, "Then it's decided."

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Mizuki Hazuki suddenly felt a strong sense of hunger sweep over her.

"Well......"

With a mournful cry, Hazuki Mizuki quickly opened the bento box and began to enjoy the delicious food.

The food in the bento box kept disappearing from Mizuki Hazuki's small mouth as she chewed.

"Sen Sai, take your time eating, I'll be going now."

Seeing Mizuki Hazuki engrossed in her food, Ito Koshichi chuckled, said goodbye, and left the room.

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Looking up at Ito Kozue's departing figure, Mizuki Hazuki's lips curled into a cunning smile.

Hazuki Mizuki took out her phone and sent a message to Kyoko Tsukishima.

Hazuki Mizuki: [Mori Tsukishima, I'll be at the dinner party tomorrow.]

Chapter 139 The Female Teachers' Gathering

The dinner party was scheduled for Saturday evening.

As evening fell, the sun began to slowly sink, like a giant orange-yellow fireball, gradually touching the edge of the horizon. The sky was no longer a clear azure, but was tinged with a faint gold, gradually transitioning to a soft orange-yellow.
