Tokyo Soft Rice King.

"Then Saionji-kun will find you?"

"Well, Makoto really wants to do something for Mirai-chan, but since she goes to a different school, it's a bit out of her reach... so she thought of me and wanted to see if I could help."

"I see."

After listening, Kuroba Akira roughly understood the whole story.

Saionji Machi, should we say she's a busybody, or that she cares about her friends...?

Generally speaking, if the relationship is distant, even if people know that the other party is facing difficulties, few people will take the initiative to ask, or even be willing to intervene... After all, most people hate trouble.

From this perspective, Saionji Machi is indeed a kind person, the type who will definitely lend a helping hand to his friends.

"Furthermore, Zhencheng also told me that after she met with Weilai and the others, she soon heard the news that Weilai was no longer going to school. She thought something had happened again, so she wanted to find out what was going on from me. But as I just said, there shouldn't have been any further conflicts after that."

"Oh……"

Kuroba Akira suddenly thought of a possibility that made him break out in a sweat.

That day at the family restaurant, Saionji asked Murasaki if she would continue going to school. Murasaki replied that she would not go to school anymore because she wanted to become a voice actress, and that going to school would not help her in any way.

And then it was mentioned that Takanashi's mother was apparently a professional voice actress...

If her mother is a voice actress, then Takanashi herself is likely influenced by her and has a high probability of wanting to become a voice actress as well.

Then, after hearing Murasaki no Miyako say that being a voice actress doesn't require going to school, did she get inspired by that and stop wanting to go to school?

Oh no, this matter seems to be related to me.

"So, class monitor, you came to me wanting me to investigate this incident?"

"No, I think instead of dwelling on what has already happened, we should help Mirai-chan get out of her predicament. So I hope you, Myo-kun, can use your excellent eloquence to persuade her to go back to school."

"So, class monitor, you've come to ask me to be your intermediary."

"Yeah, and Mirai-chan really likes playing games, and she also loves anime and manga. I don't know much about these things, but you, Akira, know a lot about them, right?"

"Understood."

"Although Mengmeng is also an expert in this field, her personality doesn't make her suitable for being a lobbyist."

"Indeed, so to summarize, the task of this mission is to persuade Takanashi Mirai, who has been skipping school, to return to school, right?"

"Yes."

"So, what about the reward?"

"Of course, everything is already prepared."

With a smile, Anri Hitomi leaned close to Kuroba Akira's ear and seduced him with a sweet voice.

"The reward is... my one-day usage right~"

Chapter 156 You're Playing with Fire

Although the class monitor's words were ambiguous, Kuroba Akira had already gotten used to the monitor's teasing and automatically interpreted them as something like a 'running ticket' or a 'date ticket'.

"A one-day usage right... it sounds good, but thinking about it carefully, I don't think I have anything in particular I want to ask you to do, class monitor."

Seeing Kuroba Akiyuki's lack of interest, Anri Hitomi might have been a little angry in the past, but she has now gotten used to Kuroba Akiyuki's indifferent reaction.

The main reason is that she now understands why Kuroba Akira can remain completely unmoved, as if she has 'no worldly desires'.

Because Kuroba Akira is very realistic and never fantasizes about impossible scenarios, he would treat overly blatant temptations as jokes, and he would never actually make any particularly excessive demands, thus preventing him from being seduced.

Another reason that Hitomi Anri was very reluctant to admit was that... her appearance and figure were not good enough for Akira Kuroba to covet.

Akira Kuroba is really strict when it comes to beautiful women.

Anri Hitomi, who was always watching Kuroba Akira, also noticed where his gaze was focused: Shirai Shiori's face and hands, Aizono Moe's chest, and her own legs.

Kuroba Akira usually looks at their body parts openly, and Shiori and Momo should have noticed it too, but neither of them has ever reminded Kuroba Akira.

Moe Moe was probably too shy to mention it, while Shiori seemed unconcerned about being seen, even appearing somewhat smug. This must be a side effect of Zenka's dogeza (a traditional Japanese kneeling ritual).

As for Anri Hitomi herself, she wanted to test Kuroba Akira's preferences, so she deliberately showed it to him.

She noticed a while ago that when wearing knee-high socks, Kuroba Akira would look down at her legs much more often, so now Anri Hitomi only wears knee-high socks.

She then wanted to further test Kuroba Akira's preferences regarding the color and material of socks.

Rather than asking him directly, it would be more interesting to probe into Kuroba Akira's preferences little by little.

It's actually similar to silently noting down Kuroba Akira's favorite dishes while making bento boxes and feeding him; it's like playing a puzzle game, which Anri Hitomi enjoys.

However, during this process, Hitomi Anri also noticed that Akira Kuroba had not yet shown any signs of being 'particularly satisfied' or 'super fond' of him.

Most of the time it's just 'not bad', which shows that he has very high standards.

Sometimes Hitomi Anri really wonders if there really exists a woman in this world who can make Akira Kuroba show a foolish expression.

Or perhaps... this little bit of benefit isn't exciting enough for him.

"Wow! Sometimes I even start to doubt whether you, Akira, are a normal high school boy."

"hehe."

"Sorry, I'm really not," Kuroba Akira thought to himself.

Hitomi Anri also knew that such temptations, limited to mere sweet talk, were still too naive.

If you want to win over Kuroba Akira, you can't just talk about it; you have to take action. So she emphasized again.

"I already said it's just a one-day usage right, okay? During this day, Myo-jun, you can make me do whatever you want, okay? Heh, that's nice!"

Having come this far, Kuroba Akira was no fool, so he asked directly.

"So, H's request can also be made?"

Anri Hitomi said, hands on her hips.

"It depends on the situation; anything too extreme is definitely not acceptable."

"Isn't the standard for judging whether something is excessive or not still in your hands, class monitor? That's no fun at all."

If, when it comes time to actually do something, the class monitor says this won't work and that won't work, Kuroba Akira will feel like he's been taken advantage of.

This conversation reminded Anri Hitomi of their first meeting when they argued about how long to look up a skirt, how far apart they should stand, and even what kind of underwear they should wear. She smiled knowingly at the conversation.

Actually, Anri Hitomi had just shown him what was under her skirt a while ago, but the method was special, so whether he saw it clearly or not depended on Kuroba Akira's dynamic vision.

Kuroba Akira glimpsed a pinkish-white color at the time, but she was actually wearing a white, completely transparent silk panty that day.

This was also the first time that Hitomi Anri had worn such daring underwear to school on a school day. In order to prevent accidents, she also made sure that her skirt was the same length as the other two members of the Literature Club, pulled down to below her knees, so that she could use it as a sack to wrap around Akira Kuroba's head.

In short, there was no pink element on those underwear, so the pink that Kuroba Akira saw was actually...

"That's true, so I will clearly tell you the 'scope of what is permissible', um... First of all, as for viewing, it can be completely open to you."

"Oh? All of them?"

"That's right, all of them, like the bet between you and Shiori... I can have that too."

It means, all of them are fine!

"Then, Your Majesty, you can decide how I should dress."

"What about the clothing?"

"As long as you, wise ruler, let me know in advance, I will prepare the clothes accordingly."

That instantly increases the value of the right to use the device for one day.

Kuroba Akira's mind conjured up images of his class monitor dressed in various cosplay outfits, and he immediately became interested.

However, Hitomi Anri had not yet exhausted her bargaining chips.

"Then, in addition to looking, touching is also allowed in some areas. Specifically, you can touch any other places besides these two."

The three parts mentioned in her words were clearly pointed out by Hitomi Anri, which were naturally the three points that the bikini swimsuit would cover.

However, Akira Kuroba continued to ask about the details of the geometry.

Is it a specific point that's not working? Or the whole thing?

The difference here is whether you can't traverse the entire sphere, or you can travel to the southeast, northwest, and northeast hemispheres, but you can't reach the top.

And the same goes for the following: whether or not peaches can be touched—these are all points of contention.

Anri Hitomi was incredibly intelligent and naturally understood Kuroba Akira's meaning. After pondering for a few seconds while rubbing her chin, she decided to offer more benefits.

"Okay, let's order."

Hei Yuming felt excited at first, but then he immediately realized something was wrong.

"Wait... Class monitor, have you thought about this? If you really open up to me to this extent, you might not be able to stop yourself and impulsively floor the gas pedal."

The class monitor agreed with his statement and nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, but I have considered this possibility, so after comprehensive consideration, I feel that it is possible to open up to you, my wise ruler, to this extent."

What does it mean?

Does she mean it's okay to continue until the very end?

Are they still friends?

Are we going to become friends with benefits?

Although they both start with P, the meaning has completely changed, hasn't it?

Can pure friendship still exist?

Although it seems that the friendship between me and the class monitor has already become a little ambiguous...

Or is it that the squad leader simply has great faith in his own character, believing that if it were him, he could stop the car even if it got to that point?

But I'm neither a saint nor a hero, class monitor...

Don't overestimate my patience, Hitomi Anri.

This is no longer just a simple reward.

You're playing with fire.
