In fact, I can add unlimited points

Knowing the whole story, Shiraha Chihiro looked at her boyfriend with a strange expression, then glanced at her best friend Kofun, and a strange premonition suddenly arose in her heart.

"...Why, why do you do this?"

With trembling hands, Ichinose accepted the hair clip from the gift box. Her lips twitched, and tears seemed to be welling up in her eyes as she looked at Shun Aragaki.

"Besides this hair clip, Hoshinomiya-sensei also bought some daily necessities at that department store, including grains, oils, rice, noodles, clothing, and stationery, spending a total of 40 yen."

Shun Aragaki did not answer the girl's question directly, but calmly recounted his actions after leaving school.

"Of course, this money is in your name. The explanation to your mother is that her daughter saved her living expenses at school and asked Ms. Hoshinomiya to send it home for her when she leaves school."

"You should still have enough personal points. Remember to go to the Star Palace later and return this money to her."

"I understand, I will pay it back, I definitely will..."

Looking at the hair clip in her hand, somewhat lost and dejected, Ichinose finally took out her phone after several seconds and immediately transferred 40 personal points to Hoshinomiya's account.

Class A's class evaluation score has never been less than one thousand from the beginning, and it has now exceeded two thousand.

In other words, since the beginning of last semester, the girl has been able to earn more than 10 personal points every month. Even if she has to hand over half of them as class funds, as a member of the class's management team, she still receives a monthly salary of 5.

Adding in the rewards that teachers sometimes give, the student council's activity funds, and even the personal points earned in the preferential treatment exams... all these things add up, and now, in the sixth month, Ichinose's savings have already exceeded 80 yen.

For her, 40 personal points were only half of her savings, and it would be perfect if she could use them at home.

If she had known this opportunity would come, she would have transferred all her accumulated personal points to Ms. Hoshinomiya and asked her to exchange them for cash and deliver them to her mother and sister.

"Stop looking so frustrated."

Seeing through the girl's thoughts at a glance, Aragaki Shun sighed and reminded her, "I heard from Hoshinomiya that your mother almost refused to accept this 40 yen, fearing that you would be too frugal at school and accidentally go hungry or cold."

Ichinose's mother understood that the Advanced Education Association provided living expenses for its students.

After all, this high school advertises that tuition and living expenses are free, and students don't need to bring a penny. They will also live in a closed teaching environment for three years, so it's normal for the school to provide living expenses to the students.

However, according to this parent's thinking, since she is unaware of the highly competitive model of the school, she would definitely assume that the living expenses provided by the school are fixed each month and maintained at a level that is just enough for the students.

My daughter has to save so much money to send home, and I don't know how much hardship she has to endure in the process.

If it weren't for Hoshinomiya Chie's guarantee as her homeroom teacher, Ichinose, as an excellent student who had received numerous scholarships, wouldn't have had any trouble with her daily life even if this money were sent out... Ichinose's mother would definitely not have accepted this money from her daughter.

"Besides, it's best to use personal points when you're highly developed. Keep more savings on hand now so that you won't blame yourself when the class runs out of funds later."

Of course, Shun Aragaki himself did not think that Class A would develop into such a predicament.

But we have to give Ichinose some reason to make her understand her importance to the class.

In fact, he had said similar things to everyone in the class.

Tell them not to spend money recklessly. If one day the class funds are not enough, they may have to rely on everyone's savings to make ends meet.

In a way, this can be considered as wealth being distributed among the people.

“Phew, I understand,” Ichinose said with a guilty look. “I’m sorry, I think I was a little too hasty and didn’t consider the future of the class.”

In the eyes of the pink-haired girl, Shun Aragaki often used his own funds to subsidize the class's strategy, since the class funds raised by the whole class were not as much as his personal account.

As a member of the class management team, if the class encounters a financial crisis in the future, Kanzaki and I will definitely take the lead in contributing money. We can't use up all our savings.

Otherwise, what if there's a dropout exam and some classmates are expelled because they don't have enough points?

"Well, it's nothing. As long as you can get along normally with everyone in the class from now on, and stop having this guilty conscience and saying you're a sinner every day, that's fine."

Releasing Ichinose's small hand, Shun Aragaki rested his chin on his hand and remarked:

"It's just a hair clip, right? It's only worth 10,000 yen. Now you've used your savings to make 40 times the sales at that department store. Shouldn't you put this trivial matter behind you now?"

"Actually, after I confessed to Aragaki that night, I stopped worrying about it."

Ichinose wiped her eyes and a bright smile appeared on her face. "Besides, I've already apologized to my classmates, and everyone has forgiven me."

After being persuaded by Shun Aragaki, Ichinose knew that she had to move on from that incident after she had confessed her embarrassing past from middle school to her classmates.

This is not only to set aside the guilt mentality and be able to interact with the students in Class A in a more pure manner, but also to face up to the sacrifices my mother made on that day.

Aragaki-kun is right. Such a strong-willed mother would rather endure the pain and abandon her dignity to kneel in front of the public in order to resolve this matter satisfactorily, hoping that this theft incident would not affect her future and that she could move towards a better tomorrow.

If I continue to wallow in it, I will only disappoint my family's expectations and cause them anxiety and regret.

Feeling the throbbing pain from the bottom of her heart, compared to stealing the hair clip and then kneeling down to apologize, what Ichinose regrets most now is actually the six months of self-imposed imprisonment that followed.

My mother was already hospitalized from overworking, and my sister also became much more haggard after this incident. At that time, she locked herself in her room for half a year, did not go out, did not go to school, and did not want to do anything... Now that I think about it, how much burden did I add to my mother's and sister's lives and mental well-being?

Setting the hair clip aside, Ichinose picked up the letter from home with trembling hands.

For a moment, she didn't dare to open it, fearing that something unfortunate was written on it.

Upon seeing this, Aragaki Shun said softly, "Hoshinomiya-sensei has personally met your mother and sister. They are both very strong, so you don't need to worry about life's problems."

As for the psychological risks, Shun Aragaki has not personally witnessed them, so it's hard to say.

"It's better to face some things as early as possible, rather than letting them accumulate and eventually wear you down."

"If you feel embarrassed, take the letter back to your dorm and read it by yourself. In that private space, no one will laugh at you even if you cry."

"Aragaki-kun..."

Upon hearing this, Ichinose took a deep breath, first bowed to him to express her gratitude, then said goodbye to the others before slowly leaving the club activity room.

"Then I'll head back now. I'll invite Aragaki-kun to dinner again tomorrow. You absolutely have to come!"

Chihiro Shiraha watched her best friend's disappearing figure with a subtle look in her eyes. Speechless, she sat down next to the man, put her arm around Shun Aragaki's arm, and looked a little jealous: "My boyfriend still cares about Honoka. It seems like I'll soon be able to hold my beauty in my arms and sleep with Honoka's wonderful figure."

She wasn't unprepared for a closer relationship with Xiao Fanbo, even to the point of becoming bedmates.

But thinking back on the two of them, it was always her, the girl, who was the one taking the initiative.

Now her boyfriend, in order to take care of another woman, is actually trying to win over her parents—something she doesn't even get.

"I thought you only liked small ones."

Ibuki Mio crossed her arms, appearing somewhat bored, but in reality, she was extremely restless.

What is this pervert planning to do by leaving his girlfriend here? Is he planning to throw some kind of chaotic party?

"Aragaki-kun..."

Wang Meiyu sensed the increasingly strange atmosphere around her, so she simply sat down on the other side of Aragaki Shun, hugged his other arm, and rested her head on the man's shoulder, feeling very at ease.

Miki Yamamura: "..."

What's going on? Are we going to be in the activity room?

Come to think of it, it's been a week since I've been intimate with Aragaki-kun.

With such a strong libido, and no one around for so long, wouldn't he have been unable to hold back for a while?

Hmm... what am I even thinking?!

"Ichinose's problem is quite serious, which is why I'm thinking of resolving it as soon as possible."

Shun Aragaki, with two women on either side, leaned back lazily on the sofa. "But to talk about being truly attentive, this isn't much, since the actual actions are all handled by Hoshinomiya-sensei. Telling you some good news about the future, that's real concern..."

So Shun Aragaki told the group that the marriage law was about to be changed, and that things had been settled with the Aragaki family and their respective families.

So, what are your thoughts?

After kissing Chihiro and Mimi on the lips, Shun Aragaki said with a half-smile, "Now that I've caught you, you can't escape even if you want to."

"Hehehe~ I've always known that, and wasn't it me who caught Aragaki-kun in the first place?"

Chihiro Shiraha smiled mischievously, not at all surprised.

But I'm still very happy that Aragaki Shun was able to do this.

The girl knew from the beginning that her boyfriend had a younger sister who was his fiancée. She didn't hesitate at all back then, so naturally she wouldn't waver now, since she was already mentally prepared to live a life without any official status.

"It seems that Aragaki-kun has really worked hard. He's been busy all week, so let me reward you properly!"

With a flip, she sat directly on her boyfriend's lap, the girl with short, white hair wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed herself against him.

"Ugh... Chihiro really is..."

Seeing this, tears began to well up in Wang Meiyu's eyes.

With the marriage law being amended, Aragaki-kun said that he no longer needs to worry about issues between both families, so it's definitely something to celebrate.

Seeing that the two sisters were starting to act more brazenly, Miki Yamamura blushed slightly and walked gracefully to the spot where Chihiro Shiranami had been.

She and Aragaki met on a cruise ship, and it's only been three weeks since then. They hadn't seen each other for a whole week before, and for the girl who had already tasted the sweetness of romance, there was still a bit of longing.

As for the future, I can't escape it... It's so good that I won't be abandoned!

She had originally thought that if Aragaki got married, she could secretly contact him by keeping a low profile, and no one would find out.

Ibuki Mio: "......"

Is this perverted guy serious about changing laws just to build a harem?

Furthermore, what does it mean to say "our family has already been taken care of"?

Ugh! So annoying!

Is it really going to be bullied by this person for the rest of my life?

Also, can you three love-obsessed people be a little more reserved?

I thought it was Aragaki Shun who was having a lecherous urge, but I didn't expect that you girls, who all looked so dignified, would be so proactive.

Sensing the ambiguous atmosphere that was about to affect her, the strong-willed girl shrank back and tried to sneak out of the activity room.

Even though her previous experience told her that she had no chance of winning in a one-on-one fight, she didn't want to team up with others to fight the enemy. Just thinking about that scenario made her scalp tingle.

Unfortunately, the only relatively rational girl didn't even take two steps before being pulled into the battle by the quick-witted Aragaki Shun.

"Haven't you missed me, Mio, after all these days?"

"Waaaah~ You pervert, just how absurd are you going to be...?"

In an instant, the forceful voice was replaced by a sweet struggle. Amidst the girl's coy resistance, all reason was overwhelmed by the familiar scent.

With each ripple, despite it being the sweltering heat of September, the activity room felt unusually warm, as if it were springtime.

.........

In Ichinose Honami's single dormitory room, the pink-haired girl lay flat on her bed with red and swollen eyes, looking like she had been crying for quite some time.

In her right hand she held an opened letter, while in her left hand were several exquisite photographs of two women, one large and one small, who looked remarkably like Ichinose.

After lying quietly for another ten minutes to clear his mind, the archangel in everyone's eyes slowly got up.

The girl seemed to have shed a heavy burden, giving off a completely transformed feeling, and her aura became gentler and lighter.

Taking the hair clip from the gift box on the bedside table, Ichinose walked to the mirror and carefully fixed it onto her smooth hair.

From her personal aesthetic perspective, this expensive ornament is no better than other ordinary hair accessories.

But this was the style her sister liked, and it was a gift that person had specially given her to help her resolve her inner conflicts. The meaning behind it was more important than anything else.

She had already read the letter that Aragaki-kun had handed over several times.

It was clearly all her fault, yet in the letters, both her sister and her mother repeatedly apologized to her.

"I heard from your teacher that you've made new friends at school and become someone everyone in the class trusts. That's wonderful."

"Let bygones be bygones. I only hope that my two daughters can grow up happily. Don't send them their school fees anymore. While you're still growing, take good care of yourselves. My work is starting to improve..."

"Sister, I heard from Hoshinomiya-sensei that you seem to have a male classmate at school with whom you get along well. If you think it's a good idea, you could try dating him..."

"You must be happy, sister. Think more about yourself. If you're not happy, Mom and I will be unhappy too..."

Recalling every word of the letter, Ichinose looked at herself in the mirror and a smile that seemed to indicate a new beginning appeared on her face.

Her mother and younger sister encouraged her, Aragaki-kun did so much for her, and everyone in her class trusted her.

In that case, wouldn't she have no choice but to start moving forward again?

Of course, she has always worked hard with everyone in the class when it comes to class competition.

With Aragaki-kun's care, things at home seem to be slowly getting better.

In that case, if she were to start over while still in school, wouldn't the one thing she most want to do be—

I'm sorry, Chihiro, I really couldn't hold back anymore...

237. Rejecting Class D's request; a casual strike against Ryuen.

After the party and tidying up the activity room, there wasn't much time left before the first class of the afternoon.
