In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

Kira Yoshikage looked away from the girl's fair hands with some regret.

It's a pity I'm in the back row; if I were in the front, I might have been able to enjoy it during class...

Tap! Tap!

The female teacher in the white coat walked into the classroom, and the classroom, which had been filled with whispers, instantly fell silent.

Although she is a beauty, this homeroom teacher is a truly strict teacher!

Seeing that she didn't need to use "quiet down" like other teachers to calm the students down, Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and wrote a few large characters on the blackboard:

"Work-study program".

A surprised gasp came from the students below the stage, but before they could begin their discussion, Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced around and slowly began to speak:

"In principle, schools do not allow students to work on their own."

"However, considering that the tuition fee of 1.5 million yen per year for the mixed college is too high, the school, together with Kaguya Shinomiya, the largest shareholder of ministop, launched a 'work-study' program to provide 50 part-time jobs for students of Shuchiin Academy."

After a pause, Hiratsuka Shizuka continued:

"The hourly wage is 1200 yen, which is one-third higher than the minimum wage. If you have this need, you can register with me. But!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka slammed her hand on the table, emphasizing her words to quiet the classroom, which had become somewhat noisy due to shock:

"You must get your parents' permission before you sign up for a part-time job, understand?"

"understand!"

Excited voices could be heard from the students below the stage.

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded in satisfaction, but when her gaze swept over Kira Yoshikage in the second-to-last row, she couldn't help but frown. Kira Yoshikage didn't seem very interested in the subject, and was idly gazing at the scenery outside the window.

Chapter 38 Iron Unrequited Love

Ring ring!

The bell rang, and Hiratsuka Shizuka put down the chalk, glancing at Kira Yoshikage in the second-to-last row:

"Yoshikage Kira, come to my office."

Kira Yoshikage remained silent, then got up and followed Hiratsuka Shizuka out of the classroom.

The moment the two left, the once quiet classroom was filled with the students' whispers.

"That delinquent got called out of the teacher's office again!"

"If you ask me, it's because he got into a fight over the weekend and someone reported him to the school!"

"In the end, why was such a scumbag admitted to Shuchiin Academy?"

"Isn't Hiratsuka-sensei being way too protective of him? Why isn't he expelled?"

"Perhaps there's something going on between them?"

"Huh? No way!"

"How could that not be? I think it must be that Hiratsuka-sensei was threatened by him!"

"Huh? Is that kind of relationship?"

"Otherwise, what kind of relationship do you think it is?"

"It's wrong to talk badly about people behind their backs..."

A friend of a fan, who was barely noticeable, said something in a low voice, but just like her own lack of presence, her words were automatically ignored.

Nakano Satsuki frowned slightly as she listened to the whispers around her.

She wasn't very familiar with Yoshikage Kira; they'd barely exchanged a few words, and her first impression of him was quite bad. But she hated this kind of behavior—judging people by their appearance and then talking behind their backs.

Moreover, judging from her own experience, although Yoshikage Kira does seem like a delinquent, he is surprisingly easy to talk to, otherwise he wouldn't have given up his seat for her in the cafeteria...

But! But! He actually criticized me for interrupting his studies by talking to him!

This one thing is absolutely unforgivable!

Nakano Satsuki puffed out her cheeks slightly; the girl still harbored resentment about this matter to this day.

This is definitely not because her grades are bad!

Absolutely not!

"Nakano-kun."

A girl with short red hair 'kindly' reminded:

"You're sitting behind that rascal, so be careful. If he harasses you, be sure to tell the teacher immediately!"

Nakano Satsuki looked up at her, and all she remembered was that the other person's name was Sagami Minami.

On the day she transferred schools, the other person took the initiative to approach her, seemingly wanting to become friends with her.

At the time, Nakano Satsuki was actually quite happy.

But now I'm somewhat disappointed, because it was she who started this whole thing involving Yoshikage Kira.

For Satsuki Nakano, a transfer student, this was actually a good opportunity to integrate into the group.

By joining others in criticizing or complaining about someone or something, she can easily gain the approval of other students, thus naturally integrating into their small circle and becoming their friend.

However, Nakano Satsuki did not respond; she also could not accept such behavior of talking behind people's backs!

That's such a gossip!

Seeing that Nakano Satsuki was not responding for a long time, Sagami Minami, feeling neglected, gradually became impatient.

What?! We were clearly trying to help you fit in!

But you dismiss her with disdain, which makes her look like a clown, doesn't it?

Sagami Minami sneered:

"Hey, Nakano-kun, why aren't you answering? You don't happen to like that delinquent, do you?"

"That's not true!" Nakano Satsuki vehemently denied.

"then you……"

"Snapped!"

Sagami Minami was about to launch another attack when a pale hand slammed heavily on her table.

The blonde girl, as aloof as a queen, stared at her coldly.

"Enough is enough."

"Nakano-san just transferred here, and you're already so eager to bully her?"

"Bullying and stuff..."

Sagami Minami's momentum immediately softened. "I... I was just joking with Nakano-kun..."

Yumiko Miura interrupted her again, without any politeness:

"If you're really so bored, you should go study instead of spreading rumors and slandering others."

Sagami Minami's face flushed bright red, and the strange looks from her classmates made her feel utterly ashamed.

If this continues, she will definitely become a complete clown.

This forced her to fight back fiercely, gritting her teeth and shouting:

"I didn't spread any rumors!"

"Oh?"

Yumiko Miura mercilessly exposed her:

"Are you close to Kira? Otherwise, how would you know he got into a fight with delinquents from another school over the weekend?"

"Or is it that you've been following Kira-kun all along, which is why you know his every move?"

"Then why were you following him? Was it because you had a crush on him?"

"No way! How could I possibly like a guy like that!"

Sagami Minami vehemently denied it, just like Nakano Satsuki had done before.

So you're admitting you spread rumors?

Yumiko Miura crossed her arms and looked down at her.

"I'm not feeling well, I'd like to go to the infirmary..."

Sagami Minami's face turned pale, and she immediately realized the trap in his words.

The strange looks from those around her were unbearable. She dared not stay any longer and left the classroom as if fleeing, leaving behind only a single sentence.

"Thank you."

Nakano Satsuki whispered.

Yumiko Miura glanced at her and said calmly:

"I'm not helping you."

The girl turned nimbly, her dazzling blonde hair drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

She didn't stand up for Nakano Satsuki, but for Kira Yoshikage, who was being slandered.

The reason she didn't step forward from the beginning was because she knew Kira-kun wouldn't like this kind of thing.

As a socially active person, her standing up for the isolated Yoshikage Kira only makes him the center of attention, completely shattering the peaceful life Yoshikage Kira longs for.

Therefore, Yumiko Miura needed a suitable opportunity, a springboard.

And Nakano Satsuki is this springboard.

Everyone will think she's standing up for Nakano Satsuki, and no one will pay attention to Kira Yoshikage anymore.

"what is this?"

Inside the office, Yoshikage Kira received a form from Shizuka Hiratsuka with some confusion.
