Real teaching, but diary flow

"How does it feel?" A woman named Ichinose Honami asked from behind Asakusa Tetsu, with a half-smile, "Do you feel like you've ever possessed it?"

"How was the taste? Did you like it? Or not?"

The series of questions pulled Shiina Hiyori back to reality, as if a hand from Ichinose Honami had reached out from a sweet paradise above the clouds, firmly grasped her ankle, and pulled her downwards with a vengeance.

Do you like it? Or not?

Of course I like it!

If you don't like it, why would you want to do it again?

But she said it, she asked it, she reminded her.

A warning voice, far more deafening than the restriction of the handrail, echoed in Hiyori Shiina's ears following Honami Ichinose's soft question.

'Remember this: this is just an attempt, a trial I'm granting you only out of kindness, so you won't have any regrets.'

It was as if those words were being spoken coldly.

Honami Ichinose would never say such a thing.

Therefore, this interpretation can only be a wicked one made by Hiyori Shiina without her consent.

She had long regarded Ichinose Honami as an enemy.

"I, I, I..." For a moment, she seemed to have trouble organizing her thoughts and was unsure how to respond.

If we were to so easily nod and admit it, wouldn't that mean... that we would never...

—I don't want to.

Amazingly, it dispelled all distractions and resonated in my heart—that was the voice.

I don't want to, ...!

Just like a child who sees a toy they love but is ruthlessly pulled away by their parents, Shiina Hiyori sat down on the ground in her mind and loudly and unreasonably shouted words of refusal at her perfectly rational inner self.

I absolutely do not.

Then, a seductive voice whispered in my ear.

"If you haven't had it yet, can you 'delay' this process?"

Seize the loopholes in the language.

What I've been saying before is not just trying to kiss, but trying to 'have a moment'.

But possession is a rather abstract concept, something that cannot be proven or disproven, and can only remain a feeling in the hearts of others.

If that's the case, if that's the case...

As long as you say that you don't have it yet, or that it's not enough, that's not considered unreasonable talk like "I have it."

...that can delay this period of time.

And then...

Then you become addicted to it and find it hard to let go.

Ah, she knew it; she was already addicted.

When her thoughts began to waver, when the idea of ​​giving it a try arose in her mind.

She will no longer have a future where she is alone.

"...I don't own it yet, so it can't be considered ownership." She finally spoke.

As she spoke, Hiyori Shiina began to question herself in her heart.

Should we use such an excuse?

You need to deceive yourself first, take some time to cool down, calm down, and think things through.

Should we make the decision that is least likely to cause regret, with utmost care and seriousness?

...That was the biggest mistake.

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled, and the words that had been stuck in my throat echoed back to me.

"So, please stay with me from now on, and for all eternity." Ignoring Honami Ichinose, Hiyori Shiina looked at the face of the person she should be looking at most at this moment, and the person she most wanted to look at.

The girl reached out her hand to Asakusa Toru.

Hiyori Shiina felt relieved.

"Is this a confession?" Asakusa Toru gently took the small hand in his and smiled.

Soft and boneless, white as snow.

So light, so light that you can hardly feel its weight, yet it leaves a deep impression.

In that instant, Asakusa Tetsu clearly realized that he would never lose her again.

"I've confessed my feelings to you so many times already."

With a slight upturn at the corners of her lips, Hiyori Shiina revealed a radiant smile, her eyebrows curving slightly, making her exceptionally beautiful.

“But you haven’t confessed to me enough, which makes me very unhappy.” Releasing her outstretched hand, she instead raised her arms to hug his waist, lowered her head to his chest, and muttered, “Please say you like me a few more times.”

"I want to hear it."

"I like you."

Without hesitation, he gave her the words she wanted to hear.

Say it again.

But the greedy girl couldn't stop herself from taking more.

"I like you."

"Again."

"I like you."

"I like you."

"I like you."

Repeated, cyclical, sweet-smelling voices echoed throughout the audience.

The curtain of the play had long since fallen, but Honami Ichinose seemed to still be sitting in the audience.

She watched quietly as the woman named Shiina Hiyori nestled in his arms, as the man she loved repeatedly, word after word, tirelessly uttered the words 'I like you'.

are you happy?

She should be happy.

She succeeded in her goal; she achieved the result she wanted.

Hiyori Shiina followed her heart, accepted her feelings, and acknowledged her emotions.

Then, it transformed into a new chain and wrapped around his body.

She should be happy.

Are you unhappy?

She must be unhappy.

The person she liked was taken away, and the person she liked is now saying things she likes to other people.

More love will be taken away, and more time will be stolen.

Hiyori Shiina's name has been added to the timetable, and Hiyori Shiina's existence will further intervene in his life.

Unlike the time with Chihiro Shiranami, this time it was the first time she had personally pushed Hiyori Shiina's back.

She should be unhappy.

But Ichinose Honami simply watched with a smile on her face.

He closed his mouth, shut his lips, and bit his teeth.

So calm.

After the curtain fell on stage, the theater lights flickered on one after another.

The dimly lit stands will be illuminated, and the exit doors will be opened.

The beams of light projected from above acted like spotlights, illuminating and focusing on them.

Honami Ichinose wasn't happy, but neither was she unhappy.

But very calmly, very calmly, I whispered in my heart:

"Not enough."

Far from enough.

Chapter 244 Diary

On August 1st, the students, who had been trained by the cruise ship, arrived at the deserted island and began their special exam.

On the same day, Class D of Grade 1 withdrew from the exam.

On August 2nd, the little princess, having received a tip, made a late-night report, becoming the mastermind behind the scenes and manipulating the situation, leading to a spectacular battle with Class C.

On the same day, the little princess was reported for going too far and was disqualified.

On the same day, Class C of Year 1 withdrew from the exam after having a great time.

On August 3, the special test on the uninhabited island ended early, and everyone boarded the ship for a meeting to discuss how to handle the "major violations" by Class B and Class C.

On August 4, the meeting results were finalized, the exam results were announced, and 8 yuan was deducted from each candidate, with the full amount settled.

Good evening, everyone.

I've compiled a brief summary of what's been happening over the past few days for everyone.

Looking back and carefully reviewing the past four days, I was surprised to find that... only four days have actually passed.

I can't even imagine how serious the chaos would be if the exam on the deserted island were held over seven days and people didn't leave early to finish the exam.

I wasn't planning to spend too much time talking about anything today, since I've already written everything I needed to say, scold, laugh at, and let bygones be bygones in my diary a few days ago.

but--

The situation has changed.

I have some good news to share with everyone today.

Starting today, my life's script will have a new name.

"My 100 Girlfriends Who I Love So Much"

just kidding.

However, although it was a joke, I am genuinely in a good mood.

My family members, does anyone understand? She's just so adorable!

I really want to kiss, hug, and lift you up high. I really should give you a good kiss.

Those who don't understand what makes her so lovable are in for a world of trouble!

It's okay if you don't understand, it doesn't matter if you don't get it.

Overall, I'm in a good mood.

While we're at it, let me give you a quick recap.

...It's called a review, but there's really nothing to review. I've already said most of what needed to be said in my diary from the past few days.

There's nothing more to say, except...

Let me think about it. The final score wasn't announced, but it was just released today, so it was basically as expected.

The matter of "major violations" was not discussed in detail and was somewhat glossed over.

If there's anything else... it's Class A.

We've talked a lot about the other classes, so let's just say a few words about Class A to be on the same page.

At this point, some people might ask, "Brother, didn't Class A win? Didn't Class A achieve a great victory? Aren't Class A yours?"
