Real teaching, but diary flow

"No, no, I am now, Mom." The pitiful little girl hugged Asakusa Tetsu tightly in her arms.

An unexpected reaction occurred.

A hint of surprise flashed in Kikyo Kushida's eyes. She wasn't too angry. Compared to Toru Asakusa, whom she could enjoy at any time, it was Airi Sakura, who actually mustered up the courage to resist at this moment, who was more surprising.

"Hmm, it's Sakura-mama's time now, okay?" Turning over and resting her head on the fat again, Asakusa Tetsu said with a smile, "If Kikyo-mama needs anything, please line up obediently."

The fist... wasn't hard.

Kikyo Kushida was no longer so easily angered, especially since Toru Asakusa wasn't being sarcastic at all.

More than mockery, it evoked a subtle sense of familiarity.

It's not the familiar feeling of breathing each other's scent on a daily basis, nor the familiar feeling one can feel when they are intertwined, nor the familiar feeling that gradually evolves from being together for a long time.

Fundamentally, this sense of familiarity doesn't seem to stem from Toru Asakusa himself at all.

But... because of himself?

Smile, micro-expressions, manner of speaking.

Recently, Asakusa Tetsu gave her a subtly familiar feeling.

She hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now, Kikyo Kushida suddenly realized the difference in this sense of familiarity.

This guy, I don't know when he started copying himself!

A kind expression, an approachable attitude, and a friendly atmosphere that everyone loves.

The perfect smile she painstakingly crafted and refined was easily copied by this guy!

She was a little puzzled as to why Sakura was so courageous today.

Given Sakura Airi's usual cowardice, even if she snatched someone away from her right in front of her, she wouldn't utter a sound. She would just bury her head under the covers and secretly watch with a nervous and excited expression, like someone hiding in a closet, her pretty face turning red.

It seems that this guy used such a trick to make Sakura Airi transfer and steal his trust and dependence on him.

Very good, your fist has hardened.

"It's alright." Then, Kikyo Kushida gave an incredibly kind smile: "Airi, you can continue to hold onto your naughty baby who likes to steal other people's skills and trust."

"I only want the lower half."

......

The time for punishment passed in the blink of an eye.

With Kikyo's mother explaining things, who was panting heavily, Asakusa Tetsu finally understood the reason for her anger.

So that's how it is! He was wondering how the "friendly aura" increased other people's favorability; is this how it's achieved?!

Indeed, if it's a direct and forceful way to increase favorability, frankly, it does feel like a manipulation of perception.

In comparison, improving others' initial positive impression of you by subtly correcting your facial expressions and demeanor is more likely to be accepted.

However... if that's the case, can the level of affection for someone you already know also be further increased?

Asakusa Tetsu was unaware of the details, but another piece of news from Kushida Kikyo was more concerning to him.

"Did you go and provoke that little princess?" Kikyo Kushida said casually, drying her wet hair with a towel. "Recently, a lot of people in Class A have been asking me about you."

"Recently?" Asakusa Tetsu raised an eyebrow.

Recently or not recently... hasn't he been provoking Sakayanagi Arisu all along?

However, the other party definitely doesn't know it's theirs.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have only started investigating themselves now.

But speaking of recent times... he hasn't done anything, has he?

Aside from subtly confirming the greatest masterpiece, he was also playing around with Sakura Airi and Kushida Kikyo.

Oh, and I also need to give Chihiro Shiranami a birthday present when we go out to pick out Ichinose.

Surely they couldn't have identified me based on the nickname "little mascot," could they?

He has maintained a friendly relationship with Chihiro Shiraha since the start of the semester. How could he possibly lock onto him without having a third eye?

Besides, if they really confirmed their identity, they wouldn't just ask around, they would just storm into Class A, right?

Wasn't Wang Meiyu like that before?

So... from whom did the little princess find out my name?

“Yes, recently, to be precise, starting from Friday.” Kikyo Kushida nodded slightly and said casually, “Actually, it’s only been these last couple of days.”

"It seems that Class C sent someone to set a trap for the devil in Class B this week."

Leaning against Asakusa Tetsu, listening to the sound of Sakura Airi's running water in the bathroom, she continued:

"I don't know the specific details, but it seems to be some kind of 'violent incident'."

"Although in the end, it all fizzled out because of that little princess's intervention."

It can only be said that those with connections truly live up to their reputation, easily suppressing such matters.

I'm so envious.

"If it weren't for the fact that you haven't left the house much these past few days, I would really suspect that you went to Class C to team up with that guy Ryuen." Kikyo Kushida said casually, giving Toru Asakusa's thigh a hard pat.

After all, it was mentioned in the diary a long time ago that Asakusa Tetsu had already gone to trade information about the special exam with Class C just a few days after the start of the semester.

Therefore, it is not incomprehensible that Asakusa Tetsu and Ryuen Sho still maintain some contact.

Although to this day she has never seen this guy run to Class C.

Oh, except for the days I spend at the library reading novels with that woman, Hiyori Shiina from Class C.

...To be honest, aside from the fact that Asakusa Tetsu seems to have a slight problem with his brain, he's really impeccable in every other way.

Their observational skills and their ability to act are beyond imagination.

No matter how you look at it, his qualities should be top-notch.

"Hey." Lost in thought, the girl suddenly asked, "Why do you think you were assigned to Class B?"

Kikyo Kushida was a little curious.

For no apparent reason, she began to want to understand the guy next to her more deeply.

...She had actually been unable to be satisfied with a relationship that was simply about mutual taking from each other for a long time.

Whether it was her behavior of squatting outside his door that day, or her veiled words during the recent money transfer, she had long been expressing her inclinations, both openly and subtly.

For someone like her who cannot easily reveal her true self, Asakusa Tetsu's existence is quite special.

Kikyo Kushida dared to say that she definitely couldn't find another person in this school who could satisfy the conditions of "not disliking her true self", "significantly relieving her stress", and "not being particularly averse to her".

Therefore, she wanted to understand the true nature of the guy named Asakusa Tetsu better.

I heard that he knew Ichinose Honami before he enrolled in the university.

Perhaps it was for the same reason that the perfect Honami Ichinose was assigned to Class 1-B with him.

"Me?" An unexpected question arose.

If it were a question-and-answer session in a diary, Toru Asakusa could quite freely use various off-site information for analysis.

But now, he can only think from the perspective of 'Asakusa Toru'.

So, after a moment's thought, Asakusa Tetsu gave a very casual answer.

"Probably because I'm too lazy to move, but not incapable of moving, the school just randomly assigned me to Class B, right?" As he spoke, he grabbed Kikyo Kushida's small hand, which was resting on his lap.

"As for the reason you were put in Class D... I can guess without you even having to tell me."

“I didn’t ask you to guess that kind of thing.” Kikyo Kushida rolled her eyes.

Hmph, it's the same as saying nothing at all.

...It seems I won't get an answer from this guy.

Or, how about asking the diary?

If she remembers correctly, she should have one more chance to leave a message.

Horikita Suzune even had two more chances.

Anyway, Horikita Suzune doesn't seem to need this message, so I might as well trick her into coming and satisfying her curiosity.

The sound of running water stopped a short while ago, and the bathroom door clicked open. Steam wafted out from the crack in the door, and then Sakura Airi, whose figure was barely concealed by a towel draped over her shoulders, tiptoed out through the mist.

"I...I'm done washing..." she whispered, glancing evasively at Asakusa Tetsu: "Stay...stay and sleep together?"

For once, the girl extended an invitation to sleep in the same bed.

If it were just for today, she wanted to hold him as she fell asleep.

“Okay.” With a radiant smile, Kikyo Kushida responded first.

She didn't want to leave Sakura Airi and Asakusa Tetsu to sleep together.

Although they spend a lot of time alone together on weekdays, she just doesn't want to.

Even if Sakura Airi, that little wimp, dragged herself into this mess.

"Eh eh—"

......

The single bed in the dormitory isn't small, but it's clear that accommodating three people while still having enough room to move around is far too difficult.

Two pillows can easily fit together, but it would be a bit crowded for three people.

Unless, of course, limbs can overlap.

Obviously, it is possible.

They were entwined, embracing tightly, inhaling the scent emanating from their close proximity, and feeling the steady heartbeat of Asakusa Toru beside them.

Sakura Airi found an unprecedented peaceful sleep.

Chapter 175 Elevator Killer Ibuki Mio

Sakayanagi Arisu is investigating herself.

Clearly, this is not something that can be easily forgotten.

Even though Asakusa Tetsu knew perfectly well that the other party had no chance of detecting his identity, he still needed to consider the possibility of his identity being exposed.

Therefore, he needs to slightly synchronize the recordings from the voice recorders he has scattered around.

For more than two months, Asakusa Tetsu continued his business of selling voice recorders with unwavering perseverance.

However, he stopped running the advertisements a long time ago.

The advertisements used during club recruitment at the beginning of the semester are enough. Continuing to shout and advertise everywhere will only be considered a disturbance and will result in the school stopping or even punishing the club.

Besides, Asakusa Tetsu doesn't have the time to go around having clearance sales.

Being overly persistent in begging others to buy your voice recorder will only make people think you have ulterior motives.

Just as Maya Sato from Class D became his client out of curiosity by striking up a conversation, he had already planted many scouts and guards in other classes.

Although Hiyori and Ibuki from Class C were the first to receive the gift, they were also the first to leave his voice recorder aside to gather dust.

Long Yuan went even further, accepting more than one of his voice recorders but never once considering using them to make a fortune.

Fortunately, there are still other good people in Class C.

Shortly after Asakusa Tetsuya launched his voice recorder advertisement, he was supposed to be out of the loop at that time, but then Tokito Yuya, who appeared out of nowhere, contacted him.

The reason for choosing to do business with someone from another department like him was certainly not because I was attracted to his looks or wanted to befriend him.

Simply because Asakusa Toru is an 'individual merchant'.

In other words, it is possible to hide transaction traces by trading without using personal points.

...Although Asakusa Tetsu's voice recorder is priced at only 3000 points.

By simply moving a few odds and ends, or even just treating someone to a meal, one can easily and silently convert the points on their account into a recording pen that isn't actually recorded anywhere else.

Therefore, Yuya Tokito works very hard every day to help Toru Asakusa record the life of Class C.

However, despite being an opponent of Ryuen Sho, and despite having gone to great lengths to hide such a recording pen, it is unclear whether he intends to remain in hiding or has decided to observe Ryuen Sho's actions for the time being. To this day, Tokito Yuya is still diligently continuing his AFK life.
