My deskmate is actually my yandere reader.

Ever since she ran out with Kurose Izumi in the afternoon, she had been sending text messages to Kurose Izumi's phone from time to time.

Although "Kushiki Touko" will no longer appear in front of Kurose Izumi, she cannot completely disappear from the scene yet.

At the very least, there needs to be a decent ending.

While she was sending the text message and putting her phone away to sit quietly, Kurose Izumi had already finished taking a shower.

He opened the bathroom door a crack, peeked out, and looked around.

After confirming that nothing unexpected would happen, he leaned out and picked up the basket of clothes that was placed by the door.

"I never imagined I'd be dressed as a woman one day..."

Kurose Izumi looked at the shirt and jeans in the basket, her feelings somewhat complicated and difficult to understand.

As for whether or not they are willing, there is definitely resistance.

But there's no way around it; since we've already agreed and brought it in, we have no choice but to wear it!

"Ugh……"

Kurose Izumi sighed softly, resignedly putting on a shirt that was a size too small, and then putting on her jeans.

The jeans are a little small; they're very tight and form-fitting.

If you take too big a step, you might pull your crotch...

"Shiraishi-kun, may I borrow your hair dryer?"

Kurose Izumi greeted Shiraishi Chire, who was sitting on the sofa, engrossed in her homework.

He then went to where the hairdryer was, picked it up, and dried his hair until it was half dry.

After he finished playing, Shiraishi Chiren took out a thick stack of notebooks from her schoolbag: "Kurose-kun, this is the homework the teacher asked me to give you."

This contains four days' worth of work, so it would be difficult to finish it all at once.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you." Kurose Izumi nodded and sat down on the single sofa. "Could I borrow a pen? I'll start writing now."

"Please use it."

With her head down, Shiraishi Chiren casually handed over the pencil case.

When Kurose Izumi reached out to take it, he accidentally touched her hand.

Shiraishi Chiren's hands were soft and delicate; even a fleeting moment was enough to make one linger and savor the memory.

"I'm sorry," Kurose Izumi apologized softly.

Upon hearing this, Shiraishi Chiren looked up at him with a puzzled expression, then seemed to remember something and said, "It's nothing, I just bumped into it. I wasn't paying attention."

Actually, she did it on purpose.

When Kurose Izumi reached out, she moved slightly, and then they naturally touched.

Although it may seem like a trivial matter.

But often, an unintentional action can be incredibly touching.

From unconsciously touching something, to gradually becoming aware of it and caring about it.

In Kurose Izumi's eyes, the persona that Shiraishi Chiren is currently putting on is serious, rigid, yet somewhat reckless.

This unexpected contrast is so endearing that it's irresistible to anyone!

After that, the two sat together doing their homework until 10:30 p.m.

In fact, during the latter half of the process, Shiraishi Chiren watched Kurose Izumi work, occasionally speaking to him.

The conversation was entirely about studying; there was no idle chatter.

Kurose Izumi's academic performance is good, at an above-average level, but not as good as Shiraishi Chirei.

For the past year, he has focused most of his energy on writing books to make money, so he has naturally fallen behind in his studies.

Of course, he had already studied a lot before coming to Tokyo, so even if he missed a little, he was still among the top students in the school and even in the country!

And Shiraishi Chiren...

He ranked first in the entrance exam, scoring 895 in the humanities, just five points away from a perfect score!

Not only is she academically outstanding, but she's also a top athlete!

At last year's sports meet, Izumi Kurose remembered that Chire Shiraishi won first place in all the women's track and field, relay, long jump, tennis, and basketball events!

Even the captain of the women's basketball team couldn't beat her in solo!

How could someone who embodies intelligence, beauty, virtue, and physical fitness be his own die-hard reader?!

Kurose Izumi found it hard to believe, but it was the truth, and she had no choice but to accept it.

At the same time, he was also very happy.

Because she is a "white bellflower".

As long as "White Kikyo" isn't "Kushiki Touko," then anyone is fine.

What he least wanted to do, and what he found hardest to accept, was that "Kuchiki Touko" was "Shira Kikyo," but she deliberately lied to him.

He didn't want Bai Jiegeng to be someone who outwardly supported him as a loyal reader for a year, but secretly harbored resentment towards the ending and thus kidnapped and imprisoned him!

"Kurose-san, it's getting late, shouldn't you be going to sleep?" Shiraishi Chiren put away her book and glanced at the clock.

"Yeah, it's time to sleep." Kurose Izumi nodded. "Then I'll sleep on the sofa, okay?"

"No! How can you do that!" Shiraishi Chiren's voice suddenly rose.

Kurose Izumi was startled and stared blankly at her excited expression, feeling bewildered.

Does this mean I can't even sleep on the sofa and have to sleep on the floor?

Why would they take me in then?

It would be better to let him stay in a guesthouse, or if all else fails, let him go to Hirasawa Shinbu for refuge.

"Ah... I'm sorry, I got too excited all of a sudden." As if realizing that she had lost her composure, Shiraishi Chiren quickly apologized.

Then she added, "Sleeping on the sofa isn't good. I have a spare bed for changing, so you can sleep on the floor!"

"Oh...oh, I see. Okay." Kurose Izumi could only nod blankly, subconsciously agreeing.

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was a good thing he wasn't forced to sleep on the floor, otherwise he would have definitely run away!

"Okay, come to the bedroom with me, I'll get you the bedding."

"Okay, thank you for your help..."

And so, Izumi Kurose unwittingly achieved her first feat of entering a beautiful girl's bedroom.

Chire Shiraishi's bedroom was very simple, much like his own.

They're all common household items like bookshelves, computer desks, coffee tables, cushions, and wardrobes—nothing special.

The only special thing was that computer had three screens!

Kurose Izumi had never seen such a modern computer before and didn't quite understand what all those screens were for.

"Shiraishi, may I ask what you use this computer for? It has three monitors."

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Shiraishi Chiren looked troubled and, for the first time, began to stammer.

24. The Unexpected Side of Shiraishi Chire

The way Shiraishi Chiren was trying so hard to hide something made Kurose Izumi feel uneasy.

Three screens...

"Holy crap, is he watching three movies at the same time?"

This is probably the first thing that Kurose Izumi thought of.

But the next second, he shook his head violently, rejecting the idea.

How could someone as proper and pure as Shiraishi Chire possibly be someone who watches porn?

"Actually, it's not that I can't tell you, it's just that I'm a little embarrassed, afraid that you'll look down on me if I tell you."

"……what?"

Kurose Izumi was stunned for a long time before blinking and letting out an "Ah," disbelief welling up in her heart.

Could it be... that I guessed right?!

At this moment, Shiraishi Chiren raised her head, gently biting her cherry lips, and said, "Um... if I tell you, can you promise me you won't tell anyone?"

"Of course I can!" Kurose Izumi nodded quickly in agreement. "But Shiraishi-san, you don't have to force yourself to tell me. I understand!"

To be honest, if things were really as he thought, he wouldn't know how to face Shiraishi Chiren.

They might even awkwardly dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment with their toes on the spot.

"Well... I'll tell you then."

After saying that, Shiraishi Chiren went to the computer desk, turned on the computer, and the three screens lit up.

Kurose Izumi watched the startup screen nervously, feeling her heart pounding.

Every minute and every second of this moment feels like an eternity, making it unbearable!

When the computer was turned on and the desktop icons and documents appeared on the screen, Kurose Izumi noticed the several rows of study materials on the left side of the screen!

The ones in the middle and on the right seem to be games; the icons and nicknames are normal, so he ignored them.

"...?!"

Kurose Izumi stared blankly at the rows of study materials, unsure of what to say for a moment.

So it really is just as he thought?!

"Actually, I'm not as bad as I seem..."

"Stop, stop, stop, I'm going out to sleep now, goodnight!"
