Real teaching, but diary flow

As soon as we boarded the cruise ship, the announcements for the conference and invitations from Longyuan Park came through.

He accepted the invitation without hesitation.

However, the meeting was scheduled for noon, and he had plenty of free time before then.

Two days have passed since the special exam on the deserted island began. It's not a long time, but it's not short either. However, it's clear that these two days of exams have been surprisingly long for many people.

Before he even got back to his room, Asakusa Tetsu was dragged away by his girlfriend and his accomplice, Miss.

Effort needs to be rewarded; at this moment, the girls felt only one emotion.

Please reward me properly.

Praise me, commend me, reward me.

I'm studying really hard for the exam, and I'm trying my best to do what I'm supposed to do.

So please reward me properly.

Thanks to this, Asakusa Tetsu arrived somewhat late, without even having time to eat, to meet Sakayanagi Narimori with Ryuen.

Then, carrying the reward he received from yesterday's diary, he casually bound her dream to the little princess while teasing her.

I've been waiting for this opportunity to enter your dreams at night and properly correct Alice's rotten personality.

After giving himself a perfunctory, pretentious message on a whim, Asakusa Tetsu returned to his room.

He originally thought he would be ambushed and killed by Ms. Kushida, but unexpectedly, it was Sakura Airi who blocked the door instead.

After a little time management, the usually easy-to-deal-with Sakura Airi, exhausted, curled up, waved the white flag, and announced her defeat.

Asakusa Tetsu, who had just opened his terminal, didn't even have time for lunch. Faced with a string of unread messages from Kikyo, he rushed to the girl's room without much delay.

Then, after a fierce struggle, with the warm and soft body embracing him from behind, Asakusa Tetsu wrote down today's diary entry in high spirits.

but......

Come to think of it, she seems rather quiet lately.

Chapter 231 So it's okay, right?

Asakusa Tetsu had expected to be met with complaints when he opened the door, and he was prepared to take on the role of emotional dumping ground once again.

After all, continuing a team-based special exam with those geniuses from Class D would be considered a work-related injury.

Although they left quickly, there was definitely no shortage of negative emotions.

Even if it's not a complaint, it should at least be a stronger desire and demand.

Ms. Kushida has never hesitated to express her needs in this regard.

However, somewhat surprisingly, the first thing she did was to stand on tiptoe and bite her shoulder.

This kind of behavior, which is like leaving a mark, is often a manifestation of possessiveness. Although Kikyo Kushida has done this before, to be honest, her current behavior is still subtly strange.

Especially after she finished, she still had some energy left to hug herself from behind and wrap her legs around hers.

However, Asakusa Tetsu didn't think about it too much.

If there's a problem, just say it directly, talk more, or like before, block the door and express your grievances and needs, or like we agreed, treat him as a confidant and directly complain and seek comfort.

This feeling of seemingly having something but not saying anything at all will only make the other party think deeply and try to figure out their true intentions.

Asakusa Tetsu had no intention of wasting his time; he had done his best to respond to everything.

As for more... perhaps their entanglements haven't reached that point yet.

That is, to the point where they would open up to each other completely, revealing their innermost thoughts and having no secrets.

So, adhering to the attitude that if she didn't want to talk, wasn't willing to talk, or was too lazy to talk, then he simply took out his diary and started writing.

Kikyo Kushida became even quieter.

"..."

My breathing was steady, and my heartbeat was calm—an unexpected yet perfectly reasonable outcome.

Did he act in it?

I acted, but only for a short time.

It was my past self who was foolish, subconsciously ignoring the connections between various clues presented to me, and arbitrarily rationalizing the logic behind seemingly suspicious behavior.

At this point, Kikyo Kushida no longer intends to care too much about such matters.

She had only one thought.

Was it a coincidence that we were on the rooftop that day?

The sound of the wind howling that noon still seems to echo in my ears, and I can still recall the cool feeling of the wind brushing against my skin.

However, the twisted and shameful feeling of blood rushing to my head and my face contorting in rage is surprisingly not so easy to recall.

I tried hard to recall, but all I could remember was the warmth and scent of the first embrace when I hesitated and opened my arms to ask for it.

'I was destined to leave that handprint.'

If the girl were to try to return to her original state of mind and reconsider her choice, she would be able to realize this very clearly.

And following this line of thought, when he pressed that handprint and uttered those threatening words, he was destined to make the same choice.

...Without a doubt, whether by coincidence or not, nothing will change.

Ultimately, he knew his true nature from the very beginning.

"...So it's okay, right?"

"Hush," the girl murmured.

Even if we pretend we know nothing and greedily enjoy this time of snuggling together for warmth, it's okay, right?

......

"Ha, you guys didn't see it back then, the chairman's face was really ugly!"

"Sakagami was completely dumbfounded! He never expected me to dare say that!"

"But the funniest one was definitely Sakayanagi. He put on airs and acted all tough like he really was, but then he just stood there dumbfounded and couldn't say a word."

"The school's reaction was more interesting than I expected."

In the private dining room, the core members of Class C gathered together, and Long Yuanxiang laughed loudly as he described the scene at that time.

It is both a boast of oneself and a denigration of the enemy, and more importantly...

"So, Shiina," he said, his expression slightly hardening, "what do you think?"

This is the opinion of the class strategist.

Of the people present, Kamuro Masumi, who was a guide dog, was the least important. If it weren't for Sakayanagi's frail health and need for such a person, the number of people at the meeting would likely have been reduced to just him and Sakayanagi, rather than allowing another person to be brought along.

On the contrary, Asakusa might have benefited from Sakayanagi's influence in this regard.

Otherwise, I might not have been able to bring him along.

As for the remaining three, the homeroom teachers of the two classes each had different stances and inclinations, but in essence, they still leaned towards the school's side as 'teachers'.

Their attitude can serve as a supplementary judgment.

Most importantly, of course, is the person of Chairman Sakayanagi Shigemori, and the true meaning behind his last words.

"...Shiina?"

"Ah, um, I'm listening." Seemingly a little lost in thought, Shiina Hiyori smiled apologetically, gathered her thoughts, and said, "My opinion is generally the same as Ryuen's."

"The chairman's attitude is very clear: the school will treat 'Sakayanagi-san' with the same preferential treatment as a 'sick and weak' student to a certain extent. This is something that will be understood even if it is announced and publicized, and it will also be beneficial for public relations."

Physical discomfort is a significant advantage; even from a humanistic perspective, it can help cultivate a school that is kind and loving.

If we ignore the surname Sakayanagi.

"But he won't admit much, but he probably won't do it as openly as he did during this exam, since if he really intended to do that, this meeting wouldn't have happened."

“So I think you can choose to trust the chairman.” After a pause, Hiyori added, “Trust his part as ‘chairman’.”

Rationality, consideration, deliberation.

Sakayanagi Narimori was Sakayanagi Arisu's father, but he was definitely more than just Sakayanagi Arisu's father.

The chairmanship he inherited from his elders could easily become a constraint for him.

Educational philosophy, action guidelines, and style of doing things.

In other words.

"It might be more appropriate to offer 20 million, while keeping 10 million as a bottom line in negotiations." As if it were the most natural thing in the world, Shiina Hiyori offered a tentative figure, assuming that Ryuen Sho was just trying to get hush money.

Twenty million personal points are of considerable importance in advanced training.

Especially those points that are not collected piecemeal from each student in the class, but are obtained all at once from the school or even from the chairman of the board, are even more special.

The phrase "20 million personal points" is directly linked to the words "Class A".

However, although it is a test, it cannot really be just a test. It is normal for the price to be high, and it is reasonable to pursue profits. While testing, it is natural to try to get as high a price as possible.

You should know that this is the only opportunity to directly ask the chairman for 'hush money'.

Perhaps no one at this school has actually done it yet.

"No." In response to Hiyori's suggestion, Ryuen Sho shook his head and grinned, "I want to quote 40 million, and negotiate with 20 million as my bottom line."

He was saying things that sounded like he was asking for an exorbitant price.

But this seems to be based on evidence.

"If it were a normal exam, I could easily get at least 130 class points to survive. Staying at my base and occasionally raiding Asakusa, I could still scrape together another 20 or 30 points." Long Yuanxiang's eyes gleamed as he began to calculate: "At the minimum of 150 class points, we have 32 months left, and there are 40 people in the class..."

"Nineteen million two hundred thousand points." Hiyori Shiina, who spoke first, stated the final calculated figure.

Hearing that his calculations were the same as his own, which were a few beats slower, yielded the same number, Long Yuanxiang's smile widened even more:

"So even if I ask for 20 million, it's just taking the money I was supposed to get 'a few months' earlier. Maybe I should add some compensation for emotional distress?"

"Long live Ryuen-ge! Ryuen-ge is mighty!" Although he didn't understand at all, Ishizaki Daichi understood one thing.

Longyuan wants to ask the chairman for 40 million!

"...I wish I could actually get it." Ibuki Mio pouted.

Long Yuanxiang said with a light laugh:

"Hehe, you'll see the results soon."

The group ate the free meal provided by the cruise ship, exchanged glances, and burst into laughter.

Hearing the laughter of her classmates and feeling the familiar atmosphere spreading, Shiina Hiyori gently lowered her head.

In her hands, the familiar diary had long since been turned to its last page.

"Reading completed for today, reading points +1."

The sound echoed clearly in my ears, indicating that Shiina Hiyori had already read today's diary.

Of course, she had read yesterday's diary as well.

Yesterday's diary entry was still about the deserted island exam. It focused on the two main characters who were fighting the most fiercely. Ryuen Sho and Sakayanagi Arisu took turns giving some sharp comments and criticisms on their actions. I also introduced the senior student on the side of the road.

He did not mention his confession.

Today's diary entry is still about the exam on the deserted island, focusing mainly on Ryuen Sho and Sakayanagi Arisu. The phrase "Dragon boy is the best" almost made Shiina Hiyori burst out laughing. During this class meeting, she almost couldn't help but laugh several times when she saw Ryuen Sho's face.

'Funny characters'

Originally, Long Yuanxiang, who had a certain air of authority as a class leader, was unknowingly labeled with this tag.

Of course, there wasn't much space dedicated to Long Yuanxiang; the diary entry today was, as expected, mostly about little princess Alice.

It's clear that he really likes little Alice.

It even subtly stirred a hint of jealousy in Shiina Hiyori.

Her tone was sarcastic and her criticisms sharp, but for some reason, Shiina Hiyori could also detect a hint of disappointment in her words.

If it weren't for that, if it were just dislike, he probably wouldn't have brought up Sakayanagi Arisu so many times.

only......
