He tried to save the fallen girls, but they came after him instead.

Maki walked in the middle, while Sakura and Akiyama walked on either side.

Shirakawa secretly followed behind, observing their every move.

It feels like some kind of stalker or apathy.

Midori Maki suddenly stopped, as if remembering something, and looked back.

They happened to meet Shirakawa's gaze.

Then, as if relieved, she clutched her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued walking towards the school.

Yayoi Akiyama noticed Maki's actions and began to look back as well.

Shirakawa was spotted.

Isn't this the man I met in the hallway earlier?

He actually followed her. Could it be that he also likes Mito Maki?

Hahaha. Akiyama Yayoi couldn't keep her composure any longer and let out a slight laugh.

He then quickly restrained himself, trying not to let others find out, and wanted to maintain his image as a confident, sunny, and warm man.

The reason for the laughter is simple.

The man wasn't particularly handsome; he was thin and weak, and looked like a total shut-in.

He should take a good look in the mirror and know his own worth before he dares to have feelings for Mito Maki, a disciplinary committee member.

He still acts like a pervert, secretly following behind.

Akiyama felt no sense of crisis whatsoever; in fact, he was happy.

Once he gets tired of them, these stalker men become his ATMs. They'll do anything to spend the night with their goddesses, not just with money, they'll even do anything for Akiyama.

One potential customer added.

That's what Akiyama thought.

Midori Sakura and Midori Maki were chatting and laughing about sisterly topics.

Akiyama, with too much internal monologue, was starting to struggle to keep up with the conversation.

He got a little too carried away.

If this continues, I won't be able to get a word in edgewise.

In order to implement the plan as soon as possible, we must maintain the improvement of Mito Maki's favorability every minute and every second.

We need to think of some solutions...

Then let's sacrifice some potential customers.

Akiyama Yayoi instantly turned her back and ran towards Shirakawa.

what?

Shirakawa was startled.

Why did he come at me?

18.Maki’s thoughts

Yayoi Akiyama had already walked up to Shirakawa.

Mido Maki and Mido Sakura followed closely behind.

"Maki-san, do you know this person? He's been sneaking around behind me the whole time." Akiyama Yayoi pointed at Shirakawa.

"I know her, she's my...my...um...classmate." Mito Maki stammered, then suddenly became hesitant and lowered her head slightly.

Yayoi Akiyama was stunned by Maki's reaction.

His righteous speech about a sunny boy arresting a miniature man remained unspoken.

Midori Sakura stepped forward with a smile, not seeing Maki's reaction. She nudged Shirakawa's chest with her elbow and said in a low voice, "Haha, you otaku, you're so scared of the handsome and sunny Akiyama that you can only sneak around like a sewer rat."

"No, I'm just a little shy around strangers," Shirakawa quickly made up an excuse.

"Haha, stop making excuses. Even the all-knowing and all-powerful Lady Sakura has a heart of tolerance for maggots. Come with me, let's not bother Akiyama-nii and my sister." Midori Sakura said, pulling Shirakawa's wrist and walking forward.

Midori Sakura plans to have Akiyama get along well with her older sister so that her sister can understand who is more important, Shirakawa or Akiyama! (Of course, it's Akiyama!)

Maki noticed their physical contact and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Mitsu Sakura forcefully pulled Shirakawa away into the distance.

Yayoi Akiyama was still stunned and stood there motionless.

"Akiyama-kun, we're going to be late for school. If you're not leaving, I'm going now." Mito Maki's tone was slightly displeased.

"Ah, right, let's go, let's go."

Yayoi Akiyama is a seasoned pro.

He knew that Maki's expression meant she liked Shirakawa's reaction, and that she liked him quite deeply.

But no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. How could a transfer student who had only been here for a day have a connection with Maki?

And how could I have been NTR'd in just one day?

Just who exactly is this Shirakawa?

Wait, I heard there was a fight at the sports warehouse yesterday afternoon. Could it be related to him?

No, no, no, I'm probably overthinking it.

Yayoi Akiyama began to escape reality.

After all, the carefully cultivated image of a good man is no match for a transfer student who suddenly appears out of nowhere, which seems impossible to anyone.

"Maki-san, um..."

"Let's call her Mito-san, Sakura isn't here."

Pshaw, what are you pretending for?

Yayoi Akiyama was secretly displeased.

"Mitu-kun, how's your relationship with Shirakawa?"

"We just know each other..."

Midori Maki then realized that she and Shirakawa had hardly ever had any serious conversations.

But this is not important.

There will be plenty of time to get to know each other in the future.

Mito Maki blushed, lost in her fantasies.

Yayoi Akiyama, standing nearby, keenly sensed that things seemed to be getting worse.

She quickly opened her phone and asked the girls in Mito Maki's class.

Most of them were also suitors of Yayoi Akiyama.

Those annoying, ugly women finally have a chance to shine today.

With that in mind, Akiyama Yayoi sent a group message to them, asking what Shirakawa-kun had been up to.

The suitors didn't ask many questions and simply told him what they knew.

He sat in front of and behind Misaki Nikaido, and seemed to be her younger brother. He got into a fight with delinquents from another school and Okada in the gym storage room, which resulted in an arm injury.

That's right. Akiyama also noticed that Shirakawa's right hand was bandaged, but at the time he thought it was because Shirakawa was having a chuunibyou episode and did it to be different.

Based on all this information, all we need to do is find a way to lower Shirakawa's standing in Mito Maki's heart.

"Really... Mido-kun, Shirakawa has a lot of rumors about him, and his reputation isn't very good. You should be careful."

"What kind of reputation?" Mito Maki got excited as soon as she heard Akiyama talking about Shirakawa.

"I heard that he has close ties with that delinquent leader at our school named Misaki Nikaido, and they even sit at the same desk in front of and behind each other in class."

Mito Maki thought about it carefully, and it was indeed so.

"Misaki Nikaido from our class?" Mito Maki showed great interest.

"He only transferred here for one day and he's already become Misaki Nikaido's underling. He was also involved in the fight that broke out in the sports warehouse... I guess he had some kind of relationship with Nikaido before he transferred here."

Yayoi Akiyama said no more, believing that Maki Midori's mind should be able to understand.

"Nikaido Misaki...Nikaido Misaki..." Midori Maki muttered.

If Shirakawa is a delinquent, Maki can totally accept it.

After all, if you like someone, you should like everything about them.

But what I can't accept is Nikaido.

Midori Maki used her clever mind to think.

Perhaps my feelings for Shirakawa are just wishful thinking, and that Shirakawa only likes someone else?
