Strategy! Welcome to the Free Haremism Classroom

Kikyo asked with a slight tremor.

Qingtaka looked straight at Kikyo, and after a long time he gently embraced her in his arms.

"Thank you for your hard work during this time."

This simple sentence made Kikyo's eyes instantly red and swollen, and tears kept shaking in her eye sockets. Although Kikyo tried her best to endure it, she couldn't help crying in the end.

Kikyo knows what kind of person she is. As for her own character and personality, she can only choose to disguise herself and put on a cheerful appearance with a wide range of friends. However, she knows that it is a luxury for Kikyo to make true friends, let alone understanding.

Her union with Kiyotaka was purely due to a transaction and out of her ill will towards Kiyotaka.

Therefore, Kikyo never had any hope in her heart that Kiyotaka would be sincere to her.

But now, a simple sentence directly broke down all the defenses in Kikyo's heart. The hedgehog, which was curled up and covered with sharp thorns, finally found something that could make her relax and reveal her soft belly.

Kikyo raised her head, with traces of tears remaining on her face. She looked pitiful and delicate. She held Qinglong's head with both hands and kissed him deeply again.

In this kiss, Kikyo expressed her love without reservation, and Kiyotaka also responded wholeheartedly, until Kikyo felt suffocated and reluctantly left.

"Kiyotaka...I think."

Qinglong shook his head and rejected her.

"You are still so weak now, take a good rest."

"No, no."

Kikyo said coquettishly while shaking Kiyotaka's arm.

"The porridge is going to spill."

Qinglong said calmly.

"Smelly man."

Kikyo grumbled at Qingtaka's hands, which had turned slightly red due to the temperature as he was holding the bowl of porridge, but she stopped pestering him and helped him take the bowl and started eating obediently.

Qingtaka just sat by the bed, watching Kikyo eating obediently, with a rare look of tenderness on his face.

When there were only a few mouthfuls left, Kikyo was so full that she couldn't eat anymore. She glanced at Qinglong beside her, ate the porridge in one gulp, and then kissed him when Qinglong was not paying attention.

The warm liquid flowed through the two people's mouths into Qinglong's mouth and was swallowed by Qinglong. After finishing, Kikyo licked her lips and said.

"I can't eat anymore, I'll give it to you~"

"Yeah, it tastes good."

Kiyotaka nodded and cooperated with Kikyo in a rare moment.

"whee."

Kikyo smiled sweetly, as beautiful as a flower.

Chapter 78: The Feeling of Heartbeat

After a brief moment of tenderness, Kikyo leaned in Qingtaka's arms as if she remembered something.

"Qinglong..."

"what happened?"

"Exactly. Is this really good for Suzune? I feel like she has a lot of ill will towards me right now."

Kiyotaka knew that what Kikyo was talking about was the list of names for the sports festival and the things behind the building. This was all manipulated by Kiyotaka, and Horikita Suzune was just the person who was kept in the dark by Kiyotaka and Kikyo.

"Her personality is too withdrawn. She won't change unless she accepts some facts. She is one of the few capable people in Class D. If she wants to be promoted, she must transform."

Upon hearing this, Kikyo spread her hands helplessly.

"So I am the bad guy who showed up?"

"Don't want to?"

"Well...I am willing to do things for you..."

They lingered again, the silver threads were entangled, and finally Qinglong ended the next step of progress on the grounds that Kikyo needed to rest. He was not a ruthless devil and he really couldn't bear to let Kikyo go into battle while sick.

He covered Kikyo with a blanket and didn't leave until she fell asleep.

When Qinglong returned to his room, it was already half past nine.

“I’m so tired…”

Qinglong lay on the bed with dazed eyes, staring at the ceiling and muttering.

Just when Qinglong was about to go to sleep peacefully, his terminal rang at an unexpected time.

Qinglong picked up the phone with a look of despair and said in a flat tone.

"Hey, didn't I say that contact should be kept to a minimum?"

"Ayanokouji, I have something to ask you. Once or twice is fine."

In the microphone, Karuizawa spoke with trepidation.

"what's up?"

"Did Sato confess to you today?"

"Where did you get your information from?"

Kiyotaka asked, still calmly.

"Of course it's Sato-san herself. Since she said she was going to confess today, then there are more girls than just me who will know."

Is this the circle for girls? Information is shared so quickly.

"Is that why you were sneaking around behind our backs watching us?"

Kiyotaka's cold words instantly gave Karuizawa goosebumps.

"Well...what are you talking about? I don't know."

"Oh, so you called me because of something?"

"It's just... I just want to know how you responded to Sato."

"How I respond should have nothing to do with you, right?"

Kiyotaka's indifference made Karuizawa feel a little uncomfortable, but on the surface it really had nothing to do with her.

"You can't say that. You are blackmailing me and making me do a lot of things. If Sato knew about this..."

"I see. I know what you want to say. Are you worried that I will focus all my attention on Sato and neglect to protect you?"

Kiyotaka's words froze the expression on Karuizawa's face, and it was unclear whether Kiyotaka's reaction was slow or sharp.

"Why did things turn out like this!"

"Isn't that right?"

"That's true, but..."

"No matter what, you don't have to worry."

"So you agreed to her?"

Karuizawa immediately asked nervously.

"I didn't say that."

"But that's your attitude. I've seen through your true colors. You don't think this is a good opportunity. Sato is the kind of girl who lets you do whatever you want, right?"

"Why does the topic jump so much? Did I say that?"

Kiyotaka asked in confusion.

"Because... because you suddenly touched me and asked me to eat your..."

As Karuizawa was talking, his face suddenly turned red.

"Oh, so that's the case. Then this matter has nothing to do with you. If you think I'm this kind of person, why should you care about it?"

Qinglong had no intention of continuing the conversation and wanted to finish this call and have a good sleep.

"Let's stop here with this question. I have one last question for you."

Karuizawa buried his head in the doll on the bed and said with a dissatisfied pout.

"what?"

"After the incident, Manabe and the others didn't bother you again, right?"

Karuizawa's pupils suddenly dilated, and then his tone slowed down.

"Well... not at the moment."

"Well, if anything happens, even if it's something you're coerced into not saying, you have to tell me right away and I'll take care of it."

"I know. I would be very upset if you were of no use to me."

"Well, that's good. Bye."

Karuizawa stared blankly at the terminal that hung up the call, her face becoming increasingly red, and the pounding feeling in her heart made her feel restless.

"Asshole, what's the point of being neither hot nor cold..."

......

Time flies. As a school that values strength above all else, monthly exams are impossible.

One day, a tense atmosphere filled the classroom. Especially when the homeroom teacher, Chabashira, walked in slowly, the atmosphere was amplified infinitely. The air even became a little cold because of this atmosphere.

Chabashira couldn't help but be surprised at the tense atmosphere that might be normal among ordinary people when looking at the scene in front of him.

She rarely smiled.

"It seems like you've grown a lot. Is this still the Class D I know?"

Compared to the carelessness at the beginning of the school year, at least the students in Class D are now mentally prepared to drop out if they don’t do well in the exams, but it is only a psychological preparation after all.

"But being nervous won't affect your grades. If you fail the exam, please be prepared to do so."

Before the results were announced, Chabashira gave a malicious reminder.

“As expected, I can see all the scores.”

"Of course, because that's the rule of this school."

The school ignored the students' wishes to protect their personal information and simply posted everyone's grades on the blackboard.

"You can think of the average passing score as 40 points or more. Those who fail to reach the standard will be expelled. This score is obtained by adding the bonus and penalty points of the sports festival."

After saying this calmly, Chabashira walked to the back, leaving the blackboard to the members of Class D who were curious about their scores.

At this point, the expressions of Ike, Sudo and others who were not punished were very stiff, because the system of immediately expelling students if they failed was so cruel that for those who were not good at studying, every time they looked at their grades was a torture.

"Ahhh! I am not seeing things, right?"

Sudo, who squeezed in first, suddenly screamed excitedly like a monkey.

Sudo, who usually sits firmly on the last-place throne, habitually started checking from the end this time, but he was surprised to find that the last name was not his, but (Yamauchi Haruki), the next one was (Ike Kanji), and then Inokashira Shin, Sato Maya and Sotomura Hideo.

Among this group of people, those from other villages should usually have slightly higher scores. The reason they are at the bottom this time may be due to the punishment during the Sports Day.

"What a close call! I'm actually the last one this time. Is this true?"

Shan said with lingering fear in his heart, fortunately he just passed the low-altitude flying test in every subject, and his average score was almost 50 points.

Compared to this, what surprised Kiyotaka was Sudo. He had been firmly holding the last place since the beginning of the school year, and no one had ever surpassed him. However, in this exam, he made a big jump and came to the twelfth from the bottom.

Although there are points gained from the Sports Festival, this is still very impressive.

The surprised expressions of his classmates around him fully explained this point. His average score was actually 57 points!

This can be said to be a huge improvement for Sudo alone.

"I broke my own record in one go! See? My average score was almost 60 points!"

Horikita, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but speak up because his noise hurt her ears.

"What's the point of making a fuss about this? Your situation is just because of the huge score difference during the sports festival."

"Um...yeah, yes."

Sudo looked at Horikita who was covering his ears and saying these words sternly, and immediately ran back to his seat in shame.
