Let's do it again, Yukino.

early morning,

After breakfast,

Spring lazily stepped out the door.

He turned back to look at the girl who was locking the door and walking towards him.

When his gaze involuntarily drifted to the girl's chest, his old face flushed red, and he turned his face away, deliberately coughing.

"What's wrong? You look disgusted."

Yukinoshita, seemingly still not understanding, looked at Haruhi, who was standing at the door blocking her way, with a somewhat unfriendly expression.

"Although I'm very happy that Xiaoxue gave me such a good treat so early in the morning, I still have to go to school later. I'll save the temptation for next time..."

Chunri's hand pointed vaguely at Xiaoxue's bra strap inside her shirt, as if she had accidentally pulled it down just now.

"Um, Xiaoxue, could you adjust your bra strap yourself?"

Two seconds later,

Thump————

"Okay, okay, I got it. I won't tell you anymore, alright? On the contrary, I'll even help you pull the bra strap back down carefully, is that alright? Don't kick me just because you're shy."

"Idiot! Pervert!"

"Hey, hey, say whatever you want, but every time I try to kindly remind you, you always hit me."

Because summer had just arrived, all the students at Soubu High School had changed into summer uniforms, and Haruhi could almost see Yukino's fair and delicate skin under her shirt.

After wasting a lot of time stopping Shizuka Yukinoshita, who was blushing and kicking her heels, Gian went to the garage downstairs in the apartment building and pushed out his bicycle that he had left there a few days ago.

"Sit still and stop thinking about what just happened."

Springtime sat on the seat, watching Xiaoxue, who was also sitting on the back of his bicycle, still holding a grudge about what had just happened.

"Shut up, you idiot Gian!"

The latter let out a angry shout, then Chunri ignored it, sat up straight, and leaned down slightly.

"Hey, Snow Mountain, go!!!"

With a crisp bell ringing,

On that somewhat hot asphalt road, the bicycle disappeared from sight in no time.

……

…………

General Military High,

Shortly after Haruhi sat down, Hiratsuka-sensei hurriedly walked in, wearing her usual overcoat.

Looking at the somewhat noisy classroom, she wasn't angry; she simply tapped the podium with her textbook.

The once noisy classroom became quiet again.

"Everyone, please be quiet before we start the class meeting."

As she spoke, she handed the roll call list to the class monitor, Asakura.

"Asakura, let's take attendance first."

It was another fairly peaceful day.

Listening to the class monitor calling out names one by one as if coaxing kindergarten children, Haruhi sighed silently to herself.

The word came to mind.

Money, indeed, is still a very important thing.

After the romance fades, springtime will also bring these thoughts to mind.

In the past, he lived alone and his expenses were not high, so even if his mother didn't send him living expenses every month, he could still support himself.

but……

Silently, she placed the wallet, which she had stuffed inside her schoolbag, into the desk drawer. Opening the account, a somewhat timid Haruhi peeked at the details on it.

A bead of sweat silently rolled down his forehead.

Even though he tried his best to save money during this period,

However, she only had about 70,000 yen left in her wallet. Although she had been staying at Koyuki's apartment for the past few days, she still had to pay rent, gas, water, electricity, phone bills, and many other miscellaneous expenses at the end of the month, even though her own apartment was old and run-down.

Thinking about it this way,

It still feels just generally bad.

Spring sighed, feeling a headache coming on.

If it weren't for the help I received from Teacher Yukino a couple of days ago, which allowed me to find a part-time job at Fengliu'an, I might really be sleeping on the streets.

Let's give the remaining 70,000 yen to Yuki for safekeeping tonight.

After all, no matter how wealthy Xiaoxue's family is, and even though her father is a well-known politician in Chiba, Xiaoxue isn't the kind of girl who likes extravagance and waste.

He didn't want to hold her back either.

"Haruhi-kun, congratulations on being eliminated again. Please stand obediently at the back."

Hiratsuka-sensei's cheerful voice came from the podium, interrupting Haruhi's thoughts.

Although the woman maintained her smile, that smile seemed like a twisted, devilish smile from hell.

"Huh?? Did I do something to upset you again?"

Chunri picked up the Chinese book. Although he had already moved two steps back from his seat, he was still unaware of what mistake he had made while daydreaming. So he frowned and asked again.

"Because you didn't do anything, that's why you have to stand at the back as punishment. Just stand there obediently until the end of get out of class."

Nagato, who was in front, said in a low voice.

"Ryoko called you a few times just now, but you didn't answer."

"..."

"Kasuga-kun, from now on, don't get distracted in class and listen carefully."

Hiratsuka Shizuka's voice drifted over.

When you concentrate on one thing, you can't notice another.

"understood."

Holding her book, Haruhi stood just a few steps away from her seat, watching the teacher continue on the podium.

……

…………

Rumble,

Rumble,

It sounded like an engine.

The noise is disturbing my sleep.

Chunri, who was dozing off in the back corner of the classroom, was startled by a sudden noise coming from outside the window.

He had gotten up very early this morning, so he was feeling a bit groggy, and standing for so long made him even sleepier.

He slowly opened his eyes, but he didn't hear the reprimand he expected from Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Although it was supposed to be a class, the students who were sitting in their seats were all intently watching the commotion through the windows.

"What's wrong? Nagato, was there an earthquake? Or is the school on fire?"

Seeing that the teacher wasn't teaching, he took his books and walked over to the long door, where the teacher was still sitting.

"It's nothing, but it has nothing to do with us."

Unlike before, Nagato's gaze was somewhat evasive at this moment, while Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had been lecturing on the podium, now had her hands in her coat pockets and was frowning as she looked out the window.

The rumbling sound continued to ring out.

When Haruhi regained consciousness, she heard it clearly: the sound of a motorcycle starting up.

However, I remember that driving on campus is not allowed at Soubu High School...

Ignoring the strange looks he was getting from his classmates, Chunri pushed away the two boys who were leaning against the window. He shielded his eyes from the sunlight streaming in and looked toward the direction of the sound.

"Pfft—"

Once she understood what had happened, Haruhi was immediately amused.

"Get out of the classroom, you bastard Haruhi!!"

"The person who bullied me a while ago, do you really want to hide in school forever?"

"If you know fear, then obediently get out here and properly kowtow to apologize so we can teach you a lesson. Maybe then we'll all forgive you."

……

In classrooms

"Are these guys crazy? Seriously, how is the security at Soubu High School doing? How could they let them in?"

Withdrawing his gaze, Haruhi looked at the group of delinquents riding motorcycles on the playground, waving steel bats and baseball bats while cursing.

Upon seeing them again, Chunri felt a surge of longing for the past.

In his previous life, because he had so much free time, he would spar with the group of guys who often loitered around the alley and streets almost every evening to pass the time.

However, since being reborn,

Because of Xiaoxue,

Springtime was so busy trying to make her happy that she was busy all day long.

This led him to abandon his "bad boy" persona long ago.

Being a delinquent is nothing compared to being intimate with Xiaoxue. You already have Xiaoxue, why bother being a delinquent?

Thinking about all this, he glanced again at the group of thugs who were still yelling for him to leave.
