I just hope to live a leisurely life in the world of anime.

With a pout, the little girl stood in front of An Shu and said resentfully, blinking her dark pupils, looking like she was about to cry.

"Hey!" An Shu tapped her on the head impatiently. "Don't say weird things!"

If I were at home, it wouldn't be so bad, but the problem is that I'm still in the classroom. Although most of the students have left after school, there are still two left.

"And she went to dinner with Hoshinomiya-sensei and Chahashi-sensei, and of course, Sakagami-sensei and Majima-sensei were there too!"

An Shu's list of names startled the girl: "Oh, is it a colleagues' gathering?"

"Hmm~"

"Well, well, it's because that silly Anshu only said he was going out to dinner with someone and would be home late. Isn't that just asking for misunderstandings?"

"You're just overthinking things."

This girl...

She looked like she was about to cry, but after blinking, she returned to normal.

But...so cute!

"It's something Brother Anshu can't explain! Let's go home now."

"Okay, be careful on the road! I'm waiting for Hoshinomiya-sensei here. She said she'll come find me here later and we'll go together."

Listening quietly, the little maid suddenly spoke up, "Hmm, should we prepare a portion for Master's dinner tonight?"

"That shouldn't be necessary. Well, little Rem is the best! She's the most considerate!"

An Shu would never hesitate to praise the most reliable, obedient, and gentle maid in the house!

Then it will turn into a daily drama...

"Eee, where is Ramu? Where is Ramu?"

really……

An Shu had already guessed it; after all, it's the same every day, so it's easy to guess, isn't it?

Moreover, as the older sister, she didn't mean anything by it; she just wanted to find an excuse to "bully" her younger sister.

If you praise her for being as well-behaved as a little maid, she'll tease her sister with reasons like, "Rem is just as naughty as me, unforgivable! Rem needs to do better!"

If you don't praise her, she'll bully her by saying she's "jealous that Rem gets the master's praise."

Praising her for being more obedient than the maid makes it seem like the maid isn't trying hard enough and needs to be disciplined.

In short, An Shu felt exhausted for the little maid, being the younger sister of this silly girl.

But the little maid actually liked it that way; at least she didn't dislike it...

Well, so going back to the point, last time we were saying she was good, but this time...

"Hmm, she's probably well-behaved," An Shu nodded.

"What? Master is so perfunctory... Sister Miori! Master is biased!"

"But even Sister Weizhi can't do anything about him... Hmm, I'll have to ask Aurelia. Hey, Aurelia, how did you guys bully Brother Anshu before?"

Holding the little girl's hand, Aurelia tilted her head slightly, thought carefully for a moment, and whispered something to the girl.

"Eh"

The little girl got the answer, but it was vastly different from what she had imagined. And things are different now than they used to be; doing it that way again probably wouldn't have any effect...

But we have to give it a try!

"Alright, let's set a strategic goal for tonight: how to make Brother Anshu obedient! Hmm, Hui-chan, you don't have homework tonight, right? Let's discuss it together!"

"Mmm!" The girl nodded without hesitation, seemingly not troubled at all, but rather eager to try.

"Then let's go home first! Bye, goodbye, silly Anshu!"

"Again……"

An Shu had just raised his hand, ready to respond, but the others had already left.

I didn't intend to say goodbye to each of them individually.

It seems... well, they've raised a bunch of little devils?

Leaving aside Aurelia and Megumi for now, the other idiots... humph!

An Shu had made up her mind.

As soon as the girls left, the classroom immediately quieted down, since only three people remained.

That girl, Hoshinomiya, clearly said she would call me after school and ask me to ride with her.

Come to think of it, I've actually gotten along quite well with them these days...

At least when that guy was slacking off at work, he would occasionally treat me to snacks.

This time, she asked me to ride with her again.

A girl's car is a very private space!

Unless absolutely necessary, people of the opposite sex, excluding family members, are generally not allowed to ride on the bus, no matter how close they are!

Of course, most men wouldn't want to embarrass themselves in this regard, and they wouldn't bring it up unless invited.

Looking like a girl is definitely an advantage, right?

Well, let's leave that aside for now.

In the classroom, I always felt a bit strange being bullied...

Especially when he's alone with the two people behind him.

"Do you think so too? Do you also think it's really a good idea to make Sudo drop out of school?"

"I'm fine, but what do you think, as someone who also lent a helping hand in the past?"

Okay, then they suddenly started chatting, and An Shu felt like she was about to get into trouble...

Okay, let's get out of here!

"Could you please give us some advice, Ms. Anshu? After all, she's a member of the class too."

Before they even took a step, their intention to escape was discovered.

A male voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, called out to him.

"..."

Should I have gone out with Xiaowei and the others?

It would be very impolite to pretend you didn't hear them and walk out now.

no way……

An Shu turned around, sat down in the chair, and leaned back.

“Speaking of ideas, Ayanokouji-san, I do have one.”

###Chapter 474 Don't Blame Me###

"...I would like to hear more details!"

Ayanokouji opened his eyes wide for the first time.

Although only slightly.

He hadn't expected An Shu to give any answer at first. He just casually mentioned it since he had nothing better to do.

"For example...let them apologize to the school themselves."

An Shu tried her best to put on a nonchalant expression and said.

In fact, he had no idea how to put on a cynical expression.

Just like how he sometimes envies the protagonists in novels, he would usually give a wicked smile.

But no one knows exactly how that wicked smile came about.

According to An Shu's guess, he probably had a crooked mouth, a tense expression, and an ambiguous look in his eyes. Last time, he was idly adjusting his expression in front of the mirror, and when the girl saw him, she was so scared that she thought her face was twitching...

"The implication that you want them to admit their mistake about Teacher Anshu is that you also believe Sudo was wronged."

"Does it matter that Sudo-kun wasn't wronged? What matters is that they admit their mistake, isn't that enough?"

"...But that's impossible, isn't it?"

Why does Ayanokouji-san think it's impossible?

"That's obvious, isn't it? After all, they have no reason to admit their mistake."

“Then I can give them a reason, a reason they can’t refuse.”

“Give them a reason they can’t refuse,” Ayanokouji paused for a moment.

This seemingly ordinary statement, when considered carefully, can be incredibly impactful.

They have no reason to do it, because they don't want to. But I want them to do it, so I'm going to give them a reason, a reason they can't refuse me.

For example...

Use violence as a reason so they can't refuse.

"Is Teacher Anshu planning to use points to lure them in?"

Perhaps he was just overthinking things, Ayanokouji thought.

He didn't think An Shu would resort to violence to threaten the three people in Class C, after all, An Shu usually seemed kind and approachable.

That's why he asked that question. Of course, there was a reason for it, because An Shu was very rich.

"Oh, I didn't know you could do it like that!"

An Shu pretended to be surprised for a moment, then scratched her face with her index finger.

I always find it fun to tease kids, even though they're already high school students.

"...Did I guess wrong? What is Teacher Anshu thinking?"

"Of course... wait a minute..." An Shu reached into the inside pocket of her coat, pretended to pat it, making the outside of the coat bulge, before taking her hand out.
