My deskmate is actually my yandere reader.

Kojimi choked up again.

Well, these two are really good brothers, each trying to take the blame for the other's mistakes.

"Alright, you two go back and pack your things. You'll be suspended from school for two days. Come back on Friday and remember to write me another self-criticism."

Finally, Koji waved his hand in annoyance and gave the two of them punishment.

She was too lazy to find out any more; in the end, it would only be pointless for her.

This punishment was also at the principal's request.

The principal dared not expel the two students or give them any serious punishment, since the school still needed the support of the Pyeongtaek Foundation.

If Hirasawa Masato's father, Hirasawa Ryuu, gets angry, the school won't even need to open; it could be shut down that very day.

"Oh, okay, goodbye teacher."

The two nodded, said goodbye to Komi Kei, turned and left the office, returning to the classroom to pack their bags.

Before leaving, Kurose Izumi glanced at Shiraishi Chiren and said with a smile, "Chiren, I'm taking a break from school for the next couple of days, so I'll head back now."

"Okay, go ahead." Shiraishi Chiren nodded, feeling that this was expected.

With Masatake Hirasawa around, there's no way Izumi Kurose could be fired.

And so, Izumi Kurose and Masatake Hirasawa left the school and walked down the cherry blossom slope.

Hirasawa Shinbu looked up at the azure, boundless sky and said with a touch of emotion, "Come to think of it, it seems like it's been a long time since we went home together."

"Hmm? I think so."

Thinking back, the last time Izumi Kurose and Masato Hirasawa went home together was probably the last time.

"I feel like going back now would be a bit boring."

"Where do you want to go for fun?" Kurose Izumi asked.

"Haha, forget it. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to go out and have fun while we're injured?"

Hirasawa Masato chuckled and then said, "Izumi, where are you living now? Are you still at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden? Then we have to part ways."

Before they knew it, the two had walked down the cherry blossom slope and arrived at a fork in the road.

One road leads to Shinjuku Station, and the other leads to Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden.

"I'm living in Chiyoda now, so we can go back together."

"Oh? When did you move there? You didn't even tell me."

"Just in the near future..."

The two talked as they arrived at Shinjuku Station and boarded a train bound for Chiyoda Ward.

Midway through, Hirasawa Mabu suggested visiting Kurose Izumi's new house, and Kurose Izumi readily agreed without much thought.

It wasn't until they returned to their home in Jimbocho and entered together that Izumi Kurose suddenly remembered something.

How could he forget that he was living with Shiraishi Chiren!

Hirasawa Shinbu stepped into the entrance hall, looked around the room, and exclaimed, "Izumi, your new home is quite nice."

He then bent down to take off his shoes, intending to enter the living room for a visit.

But when he turned his head and saw the women's sandals and leather shoes on the shoe rack, he was stunned.

Hirasawa Masato remembers that Kurose Izumi's hometown was Takamatsu Ogijima, and he came to Tokyo to study alone.

How come there are women's shoes here...?

Kurose Izumi looked at the stunned Hirasawa Shinbu and thought to herself, "We're doomed."

He was thinking about whether to lie to Hirasawa Shinbu, but felt it wasn't necessary.

Hirasawa Shinbu wasn't a big mouth, and he knew what he should and shouldn't say, so it wouldn't hurt to tell him.

However, you'll inevitably be bombarded with his questions and end up wailing and screaming...

"Izumi, what's this?" Hirasawa Mabu turned around and looked at Kurose Izumi, his expression puzzled and incredulous.

Judging from the style of the sandals, the owner should be a young person, not a middle-aged or elderly person.

But speaking of young people, Izumi Kurose doesn't have a younger sister, and I've never heard of him having a close enough relationship with a woman to live with.

Do not……

In fact, there are.

And it's highly likely, 99 percent, that it's that person, but Hirasawa Mabu still finds it hard to believe that Kurose Izumi is already living with her!

"As you can see, I'm living with Chizuru." Kurose Izumi shrugged, deciding to be frank and no longer hide it.

"you……"

Seeing Kurose Izumi so calm, Hirasawa Mabu remained silent, seemingly still in shock.

So the two of them stared at each other blankly for a long time.

After a long pause, Hirasawa Shinbu gave a thumbs-up and said with admiration, "You are the one."

Although I don't know how Shiraishi Chiren ended up living with Kurose Izumi, that's the fact, and I have to admit it.

It's generally not something most people can do to start dating soon after establishing a relationship and then move in together.

'Could it be that he/she has already climbed the ladder to adulthood?'

The thought of this possibility made Hirasawa Masato's gaze toward Kurose Izumi even more meaningful.

"You... your reaction is so calm?" Kurose Izumi scratched his head, puzzled. "Why? Shouldn't you be wailing and asking me why I'm living with Chizuru?"

"The fact that you can start dating the class monitor so quickly is already shocking enough, so living together is nothing special."

"Is that so? Actually, I can hardly believe it myself, that Qianlian and I can start dating so quickly."

As he said this, Kurose Izumi had already changed his shoes and sat down on the sofa in the living room with Hirasawa Shinbu.

He took two cups, then took out barley tea from the refrigerator and poured the tea into the cups.

"By the way, what was the opportunity that led you and the class monitor to start dating? I feel like things are progressing a bit too fast?"

After speaking, Hirasawa Shinbu picked up the cup, tilted his head back, and drank the extremely bitter barley tea in one gulp, his brows furrowed tightly.

Barley tea is bitter when you drink it, but has a fragrant aftertaste.

He wasn't used to drinking barley tea, but since Izumi Kurose poured it for him, he drank it anyway.

"This..." Kurose Izumi suddenly hesitated, "It might be a bit complicated, perhaps..."

"It's inconvenient to say? Then forget it, there's no need to force me to tell you."

Hirasawa Masato won't pry into things that might embarrass the other person—just like how Kurose Izumi was unwilling to tell him his address before.

Conversely, Kurose Izumi would not delve into matters that Hirasawa Masato was unwilling to discuss.

Everyone has secrets and things they don't want to talk about. Only by maintaining distance can a good relationship be maintained.

"No...it's not that hard to talk about. I think it might be better for you to know..."

Kurose Izumi shook her head and briefly explained her entanglements with Kuchiki Touko and Shiraishi Chire.

He kept his imprisonment a secret, as well as the reason why Shiraishi Chiren helped him, and Hirasawa Shinbu wisely refrained from asking.

"You kid..."

After listening quietly to the whole story, Hirasawa Shinbu's eyes went from surprise to astonishment, and then to shock and disbelief.

He never expected that the reason why Kurose Izumi took leave two weeks ago was not because of a cold, but because of this!

No wonder Kurose Izumi hesitated and wouldn't let him visit her in the hospital.

"But you're quite the ladies' man, aren't you? From what you've said, that Kuchiki Touko must be a beautiful girl, right?"

Hirasawa Shinbu pondered the matter carefully, feeling that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

What a coincidence!

This series of events was all very 'coincidental,' feeling like a pre-arranged script, full of drama.

"I can't stand a beautiful girl like this, please leave me alone." Kurose Izumi gave a wry smile. "Although I also think this is all absurd, it's the truth, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to investigate."

"Hmm, speaking of this..."

Hirasawa Shinbu nodded, then suddenly paused, his expression turning serious: "This person is really amazing. I've sent extra people to investigate these past two days, but it's all just hearsay and nothing substantial."

"She is really amazing, she seems omnipotent, she's terrifying."

Recalling her time with Fuyuko Kuchiki, Izumi Kurose still feels fear and her hands and feet tremble uncontrollably.

"Kushiki Touko" is obsessive and crazy, misunderstood, and cannot be understood or seen through by Kurose Izumi.

Everything she did stemmed from her strongest desires.

The imprisonment, the threats, all the subsequent actions... and the time spent together that night all filled Kurose Izumi with a deep sense of dread.

That was a desire to devour him completely and possess him entirely!

Izumi Kurose personally dislikes this type of person because she can't even get along with them normally, and she just feels uncomfortable all over.

"It's alright, give me another week, I'll definitely find it. I've already arranged for more people to come these past two days." Hirasawa Masatake gently patted Kurose Izumi's shoulder and smiled.

"No rush, she doesn't dare to show up now and can't threaten me and Qianlian."

"I never expected that you, a gloomy shut-in, would date the class monitor in this way. It really surprises me."

"I was surprised too, but that's the truth."

Actually, Hirasawa Shinbu had a question in his mind, but it was not easy for him to say it.

He only hoped that he was overthinking things, and that Kurose Izumi was hiding something, which made him suspicious.

'How could that be? There's a possibility that Shiraishi is rotten wood...'

Hirasawa Shinbu rejected the idea in his mind and forced himself not to think about it too much, otherwise things might get complicated.

The reason he made this guess was because Shiraishi Chiren's behavior was too abnormal and unlike her usual self.

Also, when Kuchiki Touko appears, Shiraishi Chiren is definitely not there!

vice versa.
