Real teaching, but diary flow

Chapter 247 Karuizawa Megumi Plans to Change Hosts

Cruise ship, cabin.

"Dudu-"

A transfer notification popped up on the screen. Hirata Yosuke clicked on it to check, then turned and opened Horikita Suzune's chat box.

'Received'

The response text appeared in the chat box, and he gently pressed send.

"Are we there yet?" The blonde bombshell asked, her eyes shining with anticipation.

"So, Yosuke, you currently have over three million points, right?"

How could one person not have their heart racing when such a huge number is in their hands?

Even though it wasn't in her own hands, Karuizawa Megumi felt that since Hirata Yosuke was her boyfriend, she should rightfully have a share of those points.

"They're all meant to be distributed to the students." Glancing at her as if he could read her mind, Hirata Yosuke said calmly, "Don't even think about taking them."

Before she could even utter a tentative question, her thoughts were exposed. Karuizawa Megumi felt a lump in her throat. She shook her hand, stomped her foot, and said with great dissatisfaction:

"What? What do you mean by 'scheming against it'? Don't put it so harshly!"

“I just feel…” She shifted her body slightly, “No, it’s not just feeling.”

"I just wanted to tell you not to rush into the allocation."

Karuizawa Kei's eyes rolled around, but only at this moment did her brain start working quite nimbly.

“Hirata-kun, think about it. There are so many people in the class. Even if you divide it equally, it will only be…” She started counting on her fingers.

Before she could calculate the result, Hirata Yosuke had already given the exact number:

"81250."

“Oh right, it’s only a little over 80,000, about the same as the amount given at the start of the school year.” Karuizawa Kei said with a grin, “Think about it, everyone spends 100,000 in no time when school starts. If this money is just given out like this, everyone will definitely spend it all without restraint.”

"I think it should be kept as class funds for those who need it!"

Karuizawa Kei spoke with great righteous indignation, her words seemingly perfectly logical.

That is, if she weren't one of those people who spends all their money at once without any restraint.

"Well, Karuizawa-kun," Hirata Yosuke's tone seemed to soften, as if he had been somewhat persuaded, "who do you think is the one who needs it?"

The bait hanging on the hook fell into the water with a splash.

And so, almost instantly, Karuizawa Kei took the bait.

"Of course it's me!" She pressed her hand to her chest. "Isn't your weak, pitiful, and helpless girlfriend the one who needs help the most?"

"I'm completely broke. Not only am I broke, but I also owe a lot of money to my classmates."

“They know that Class D got a large sum of money, and they’ll definitely be eager to come and ask me for it back.”

Although she initially appeared very assertive, Karuizawa Kei became slightly more subdued when the topic of owing money came up.

“Paying back debts is a matter of course,” Hirata Yosuke shook his head.

"—But!" Seemingly sensing Hirata Yosuke's refusal, Karuizawa Megumi quickly began to find excuses to add, "If we're going to repay the money, 80,000 yen is simply not enough!"

"Think about it, Hirata-kun. If I don't pay back the money, I'll definitely be attacked. But if I do pay back the money, I can't possibly pay back everyone. What if some people find out that I paid back some people but not others..."

"Ouch..."

With her head lowered and a weak voice uttered, Karuizawa Megumi raised her head again, revealing an expression that seemed quite endearing:

"If it's Hirata-kun, he'll definitely help me, right?"

She began to show her weakness and beg for help.

"...Tell me how much you owe first." However, instead of readily agreeing and promising to help as expected, Hirata Yosuke posed this question first.

Karuizawa Kei was clearly somewhat disappointed.

But she still whispered, "I... I'm not quite sure... It should be, maybe, approximately... around two hundred thousand?"

"Ah, it should be fine with Kushida-san. She's such a kind person, she'll definitely be lenient and give me more time."

"Then, Wang's should be fine too, Mori's, Hasebe's, Maya's, Inokashira's..." She began to carefully recall the arithmetic, slightly flustered.

Although she had come up with an excuse, only now did she seriously begin to try to think about and recall exactly how much debt she owed.

"From my classmates...and from students in Class A and Class B..."

As she was counting, Karuizawa suddenly stopped.

"Finished counting?" Hirata Yosuke raised an eyebrow.

"I can't count them all..." Tears welled up in Karuizawa Megumi's eyes: "It seems, it seems there are more than 200,000, well, it's more than 300,000!"

Why did it turn out to be this number?

Thinking back, the first month's expenses were so large, and since we had just entered the school, the 100,000 yuan was spent like water in an instant in order to maintain and consolidate our initial position.

She had already started borrowing money everywhere before the second month even arrived.

The fact that she received no money in the second month dealt her a heavy blow.

On one hand, there's the issue of class status and social needs; on the other hand, there's the harsh reality of an empty wallet.

If none of the classmates have money, it will be difficult for your own group of hot girls to get things going, and the friendship will easily fade over time.

So, without realizing it, it seems to have gradually evolved into a huge number.

"So, so only you, Hirata-kun, can save me!" Karuizawa Megumi shouted loudly.

That's right, only Yosuke Hirata can save her.

—If those points are used to pay off the debt.

"I'm sorry, I can't meet your expectations."

However, to everyone's utter despair, her boyfriend, Hirata Yosuke, gently shook his head and uttered words of rejection.

"Why?! I'm your girlfriend, aren't I?!" Karuizawa Megumi asked, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"Why?" Hirata Yosuke remained calm in the face of the agitated Karuizawa Megumi: "Because this is everyone's score."

"If Karuizawa-san says he wants to help, I will. I will try to help you mediate with your classmates. As long as you don't continue to borrow, you should be able to pay back the 300,000 yen if you work hard on a few more special exams."

If you're just hoping for 8,000 points a month, you probably won't be able to pay it back by graduation.

But if one can achieve such benefits in every special exam, then repaying the debt shouldn't be too difficult.

"It's impossible to pay it back!" Karuizawa Megumi shouted. "And I also—"

She had no intention of paying off her debts through hard work.

What do I have to work hard with? Do I work hard by eating wild vegetable meals? Do I work hard by looking at my wallet and embarrassingly saying I have no money when it's time for a party or shopping? Do I work hard by shrinking back and bowing my head when someone asks me for money, saying I'll try my best?

No, that won't work.

She absolutely cannot do anything she cannot do, and she will never do it.

You should know that in the two days after the exam ended, before she even received the money, several classmates had already approached her individually, saying they wanted to schedule the repayment of the split amount in advance.

Their attitude made it clear that they were the creditors and she was the debtor, and she could barely sense any respect for them anymore.

Her status—her announcement of her relationship with Hirata Yosuke since the start of the semester, her dependence on him, her parasitic and bloodsucking behavior—that allowed her to achieve her dominant position in the gyaru (gal) class... seems to be starting to show signs of collapse.

That's why she started to panic, and this panic intensified with Hirata Yosuke's attitude, rapidly escalating until it finally erupted.

"Anyway, if you still consider me your girlfriend, transfer the money to me." Karuizawa Megumi pursed her lips, somewhat realizing that her voice was too loud, turned her head away, and uttered a threatening statement.

But she was out of her mind to think of saying that to Hirata Yosuke.

"Then let's break up." Such a threat only elicited one response from Hirata Yosuke: "Anyway, we weren't really in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship."

Karuizawa Megumi: "—"

Karuizawa Kei's expression froze.

"Why, why did you say that? Why did it turn out like this?!" She panicked immediately. She had never thought of separating herself from Hirata Yosuke. Her current position was actually entirely based on Hirata Yosuke.

As a petite girl, she quickly sensed Hirata Yosuke's affability on the day she enrolled and clearly realized that he could easily establish a strong position on campus.

Therefore, she chose to depend on him, to pray, and to beg Hirata Yosuke for help.

The result was 'interaction'.

Once they start dating, as his 'girlfriend,' she will naturally and unconditionally elevate her status to the same level as Hirata Yosuke.

In other words, she was able to leverage Hirata Yosuke's influence.

This is the only means she can use as a 'parasite'.

but--

“I’ve said it from the beginning, we won’t be a real boyfriend and girlfriend.” Hirata Yosuke revealed the real reason: “I don’t mind helping you through dating, but I won’t just help you alone.”

“I can’t help you by harming the interests of other students. If you insist on this, then I have no choice but to break up with you.”

Hirata Yosuke remained perfectly calm.

However, it's clear that some people aren't so calm.

"Fine, let's break up!" Karuizawa Megumi snapped, defiantly declaring, "I don't need you anymore!"

Karuizawa Megumi, caught up in her emotions, left.

Hirata Yosuke, however, remained unmoved and began flipping through his list.

He should start transferring money to everyone.

......

"What? What? What?!"

Karuizawa Megumi walked alone, kicking and shoving, looking sullen.

"Let's break up, let's break up..." Karuizawa Kei muttered, but couldn't help feeling a little scared.

If they really break up, what will the other classmates think?

Will they distance themselves from me? Will they look down on me? Will they...bully me?

Kei Karuizawa has a hidden past.

It may be said to be unknown to most people, but in this country, it's really just some 'nothing special' stuff.

That's right, it's bullying.

She suffered severe bullying during her three years of junior high school.

Lacking sufficient status and power, she was chosen to be the target, the one to be bullied, bullied, bullied, bullied, bullied, bullied.

The psychological trauma goes without saying, but the most painful thing is undoubtedly the marks left on the body.

For girls, the most devastating thing is... a 'scar'.

It's just a scar on the skin, but it feels like it's etched into my heart, causing me to feel a stinging pain from time to time.

A past that makes you want to escape, an experience you absolutely never want to relive.

This is the fundamental driving force behind Karuizawa Megumi's actions.

As long as you stand in a high position, as long as you become a leader, as long as everyone stops looking down on you, as long as no one dares to bully you.

She won't be bullied.

That's why she chose the identity of 'girlfriend'.

Unfortunately, it seems that Hirata Yosuke is not truly able to protect her.

That being said, Hirata Yosuke has protected her for a long time, and if news of their breakup were to get out...

"Well--"

Karuizawa Kei shook her head vigorously.

No, the real reason for the breakup was that Hirata Yosuke was unwilling to help him; in other words, he wouldn't have changed his mind even if they hadn't broken up.

Given this, she is destined not to receive enough money, will be pursued for debts, and her status will continue to decline rapidly.

The result is the same.
