You call this a love game?

Mami Tomoe sighed and pushed aside the two large figures blocking her way. "Let's make this clear first, you can only eat one piece of Anzu."

"Eh—" Sakura Kyoko protested in a drawn-out tone, her cheeks puffed out high.

She stole a glance at Bai Yu's plate, her eyes gleaming as if she were ready to rob it at any moment.

Shiraha deliberately cut the cake slowly, the strawberries on his fork waving in front of Sakura Kyoko's eyes.

Didn't some people say they wanted to lose weight last month?

"Mind your own business!" Sakura Kyoko slammed her hand on the table, instinctively baring her fangs at Shiraha. "I fight so many witches every day, what's wrong with eating more! Exercise burns a lot of calories too!"

"But you've gained ten pounds in six months. If you keep eating like this, you'll turn into a little pig, Sakura Ino-kun."

"You're the pig!" Sakura Kyoko, having reached her limit, pounced on him and bit Bai Yu's hand, causing him to howl in pain.

"Woof! Let go! Are you a dog?!"

Bai Yu swung his arms, revealing two neat rows of teeth marks.

Sakura Kyoko licked her canine teeth triumphantly and took the opportunity to snatch the cake from his plate.

Seeing the two bickering, Mami Tomoe couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead. Suddenly remembering something, she pulled out a letter from the cabinet next to her.

"Speaking of which, Bai Yu-jun, the enrollment procedures you asked me to help with last time have been completed."

She presented her beliefs to Sakura Kyoko, saying, "Starting tomorrow, Kyoko will be a second-year student at Mitakihara Municipal Junior High School."

Sakura Kyoko's strawberry fell 'plop' onto the table. She stared at the gold-embossed school badge on the envelope as if she'd seen a ghost. "Wait! When did I agree to go to school?!"

"When you lost the bet to me last week," Bai Yu pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from somewhere, still warm from his touch, "a 'bet contract' signed by someone, with their fingerprint on it~ Don't even think about going back on your word."

Sakura Kyoko snatched the note and stuffed it into her mouth. After a few chews, she swallowed it with her black tea. "There aren't any more now!"

"Don't worry, I have a backup," Bai Yu said with a smile.

Sakura Kyoko's face immediately turned from red to green, then to black, so angry that her hair almost stood on end.

How could someone do this!

"That doesn't count!"

"Is Kyoko trying to go back on her word? Kyoko, you're so untrustworthy!"

Sakura Kyoko froze on the spot, her face flushed red, and she shouted with her neck stiff, "Who broke their promise! I'll go!"

It's just a school, what are you going to do with her?

At worst, she can just play and sleep at school all day. Anyway, I didn't expect her to have any good grades. She had already dropped out of school for a year, and with the recent high-intensity work, she had forgotten everything she had learned before. Her current level of education is only slightly better than Zhang Yu's. She can write a few characters, but she doesn't even know the four ways to write the character "茴".

She has no interest in reading or anything like that.

As for future jobs, where will the money come from...?

At worst, I can just do what Bai Yu did, pretend to be a charlatan, show my power to those believers, and get them to donate money to me. Then I'll have tons of money, right?

She's already showing good manners by not smashing the ATM to withdraw money.

"Very good!" Bai Yu pulled out a blank test paper and spread it in front of Sakura Kyoko. "Since you agreed, then do this test paper. The entrance exam is a necessary procedure, and there will be punishment if you don't do well."

"Exam paper..."

Sakura Kyoko looked at the words "Elementary School to Junior High School Graduation Exam Paper" at the top of the homepage and felt a surge of displeasure.

She dropped out of junior high school in her first year, so what's the point of making her do elementary school problems!

"Don't look down on me! I'm sure I'll do well on the test. Just think about how you're going to reward me later!" Sakura Kyoko grabbed the pen next to her, pushed away Shiraha's hand, and focused her gaze on the test paper, starting to read the questions carefully.

This test was in math, and the questions weren't too difficult, but they quickly revealed Sakura Kyoko's current level.

After all, if you don't know math, you just don't know it. Compared to Chinese or other subjects, you can't make up anything about math if you don't have the knowledge.

Sakura Kyoko was naturally full of confidence. Before dropping out of school, her grades were at least among the top in her class, so this kind of simple question was a piece of cake for her.

However, she soon stopped laughing.

Sakura Kyoko stared wide-eyed at the snow-white exam paper in front of her, as if she had seen something incredible.

Is this... is this really a question from the entrance exam for junior high school? How come she can't answer a single one?

And those symbols, why did she feel like she had never seen them before?

The first math problem shocked her. Her scratch paper was covered with meaningless circles. When she glanced at Bai Yu, she saw him grinning at her with his chin on his hand. She quickly covered her test paper with her arm and grinned back.

"Choose C, you can't go wrong!" she muttered to herself, glancing at the exam paper and writing C directly in the parentheses.

"The answer to this question is actually B," Bai Yu suddenly said.

"Really?" Sakura Kyoko blacked out the C and wrote B next to it.

"I was just kidding, it's actually D."

"Damn it!" The pen tip poked several ink spots on the test paper, and Sakura Kyoko kicked the coffee table, making the tea set clatter.

Mami Tomoe sighed and pushed the cut cake towards Kyoko Sakura, "Eat something first..."

"No!" Sakura Kyoko retorted, "This level of difficulty... I could do it with my eyes closed!"

After saying that, she turned her head away, no longer looking at the tempting cake next to her, and ignoring Bai Yu's teasing, and began to seriously analyze the problem.

However, she soon lost her fighting spirit again.

The saying "leave the questions you don't know for later and do the ones you do know first" makes a lot of sense, but it was completely useless to her because she discovered something terrifying: she couldn't answer a single question!

Simply incredible!

The strong-willed Sakura Kyoko was brought down by a math problem; an insurmountable obstacle hindered her progress, causing her to fade into obscurity.

Just this one question:

If a × b = 0, then ( )

A. a must be 0

B. b must be 0

C. a and b must both be 0

D. At least one of a and b must be 0.

She studied it for a long time and used various formulas but still couldn't figure out which one to choose, even though she didn't know any of the formulas or theorems.

With time running out, she simply filled in a few options on the multiple-choice section and left the analytical questions blank. If she didn't know the answer, she didn't know it; she had no clue what to do except write down the solution.

Bai Yu collected the test papers, and the scores were released quickly.

The pristine white paper was covered with red crosses, the bright red zeros standing out starkly against the paper.

Sakura Kyoko, however, casually crossed her legs, a Pocky stick dangling from her mouth.

"Kyoko-kun!" Bai Yu drawled, then suddenly grabbed her ankle. The snack in Sakura Kyoko's mouth fell to the ground with a thud, and her body instantly activated Spinosaurus mode, arching her back high.

"What are you doing! Let go!" She struggled desperately, her dark red skirt fluttering, vaguely revealing a glimpse of white skin underneath.

Bai Yu had already deftly pulled off her slippers and tossed them aside.

“A genius who scores zero should be rewarded.” Bai Yu’s fingertips lightly brushed across the soles of her feet, and Sakura Kyoko burst into a pig-like laugh, twisting into a pretzel on the tatami mat.

"Hahaha...Stop! I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"I think you don't know you're wrong, you know you're doomed!" Bai Yu's hands continued to move, gently scratching while pressing several acupoints, and the stinging sensation instantly entered the girl's brain.

Sakura Kyoko laughed until tears streamed down her face. She kicked her legs wildly and almost overturned the coffee table. Half of her over-the-knee socks were rubbed off, and her listless trousers hung on her feet, revealing a section of her slender and smooth calves.

She tried to jump up and run away, but Bai Yu pressed her skirt down with his knee.

"Help! Mami, help me!"

She stretched out her trembling hand toward Mami Tomoe, her fingernails leaving white marks on the tatami mat.

The blonde girl elegantly sipped her black tea. "Kyoko, a bet is a bet, and even you can't go back on your word."

Then she pulled out a feather duster from somewhere, "Need any help?"

"You're ganging up on me!" Sakura Kyoko wailed, writhing in pain.

She was like a turtle that had been flipped over, her limbs flailing wildly in the air. Bai Yu's fingers moved across the soles of her feet like he was playing the piano, not caring about the smell. Each stroke of his fingers caused the girl to convulse violently.

"Hahaha... Stop, stop! I... I'll definitely pass next time!"

Her voice was hoarse from laughing, her red hair was stuck to her sweaty forehead, her toes were desperately curling and spreading, and her socks almost flew into Bai Yu's mouth.

Mami Tomoe gently brushed the instep of Sakura Kyoko's foot with a feather duster, and Sakura Kyoko jumped up as if she had been electrocuted, only to bump her forehead on the coffee table with a 'thud'. She curled up in a ball, clutching her forehead, with tears of laughter still glistening in the corners of her eyes.

"You guys...you've gone too far..."

Taking advantage of the moment, Bai Yu grabbed her other foot and pressed his thumb heavily into the center of her arch.

"You don't even know the answer to this question is D? At least one of A and B is zero!"

"Who, who remembers this kind of thing?!" Sakura Kyoko tried to kick him with her free foot, but Tomoe Mami blocked it precisely with a pillow. She despairingly discovered that the sole of her foot was facing Shiraha's nose, an angle that was absolutely humiliating.

She could clearly feel the warmth of his breath on the soles of her feet, and the itch made the veins on the tops of her feet bulge.

"Looks like we need to intensify our training."

Mami Tomoe pulled out several math problem sets from somewhere, and the rustling sound of the pages turning filled Kyoko Sakura with despair.

She had never felt this way, not even when she first fought the witch alone.

"No! I'd rather go fight ten more witches!"

But actually having her fight ten witches is another matter entirely; right now, all she wants is to escape this abyss called mathematics.

She took the opportunity to break free of her restraints, using her hands and feet to scoot backward, but her back bumped into the sofa.

"Don't struggle, Anzu. You're already in my hands, there's no escaping you."

Shiraha let out a sinister laugh, slowly grabbed Sakura Kyoko's calf, and gently rubbed it in his hands. His smug expression made Tomoe Mami, who was standing next to him, want to punch him.

However, to Sakura Kyoko, that smile was nothing but terror.

Feeling the itchy, tingling sensation on her calves, she revealed a look of despair.

At that moment, she finally realized that compared to math problems, witches were simply as cute as angels.

"No! Don't come any closer!"

Sakura Kyoko let out a dying moan, as if she had stared at something indescribable. Suddenly, her eyes closed, her head lolled to the side, and she fainted, no longer moving and lifeless.

Chapter 102

Despite her strong resistance, Sakura Kyoko eventually went to school obediently under Shiraha's watchful gaze.

Today is the first day of the new semester, and she made sure to get up early and go to school with Mami Tomoe so as not to give her teachers and classmates a bad impression.

Although she probably wouldn't have many friends at school given her somewhat rebellious personality, she still had to be polite.

But as soon as she entered the classroom and the class started, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

The teacher above was speaking in a language she couldn't understand at all, and the sound of her mouth was like a lullaby. The students below also made her feel very bored. They were all staring intently at the podium and listening attentively, which made her, who didn't want to listen to the class at all, feel a little irritated. This was nothing like the exciting battle with the witch. She was bored to death!

Kyoko Sakura rested her chin on one hand, while listlessly twirling a ballpoint pen in the other, her bright red eyes darting around playfully.

She's already thinking about skipping class.

This place was completely different from what she had imagined. Sitting in this classroom felt as uncomfortable as being in prison, even though she had never been to prison.

The whole person is bound to this small chair and cannot move, stand, or sway freely, otherwise they will be warned by the teacher above and will be considered a 'disobedient student'.

School was so boring; the unanimous answers to questions in the classroom made her uncomfortable.

Moreover, it had only been less than half a day since they parted, and she already missed Bai Yu and her priest.

I really want to hug the priest...

Kyoko Sakura sat there lost in thought, her mind drifting back to her home a few kilometers away, where her priest was waiting for her to return.

"Hey, is this Sakura-san?" Just as she was imagining herself being kissed and embraced by Shiraha until her face turned red, a somewhat suppressed and unfamiliar voice suddenly came from beside her.

"what?"

Sakura Kyoko was a little taken aback at first, and stopped spinning her pen. Having just snapped out of her daydream, she now felt a little guilty.

"Hey, your name is Sakura Kyoko, right? Is it okay to call you Sakura-kun?"

Sakura Kyoko then looked at the person next to her who was secretly calling her during class.
