In practice, I can issue tasks to my master.

Sakura Airi was initially cautious, thinking that Nangong Cheng had made some kind of terrible dish to prank her.

But the moment she took the first bite, she couldn't control her expression and her hands.

Delicious!

Nangong was simply being kind by treating her to a delicious bento box, but she maliciously assumed he was trying to bully her...

She deserves to die!

"Sakura-san, eat slowly, be careful not to choke... Oh, and have something to drink too."

Nangong Cheng noticed that Sakura Airi's cheeks were visibly red, and his first thought was that the girl was shy.

However, when the two were alone together, Sakura Airi behaved much better than she had in the classroom.

Because people with this kind of personality need encouragement and a sense of validation.

Nangong Cheng naturally didn't mind providing Sakura Airi with these emotional values, since this costless investment would eventually turn into a warm return for the girl (Bao).

"Nan, Nangong, would you like to eat together?"

"Because I have a small appetite... this bento box is too big, so I can't finish it..."

Sakura Airi felt a little embarrassed seeing how much Nangong Cheng was taking care of her.

In addition, she felt ashamed of the dark and malicious speculation she had just made, and subconsciously wanted to please Nangong Cheng.

"Together? Sure."

"But Sakura-san, don't you mind things like saliva or indirect kissing?"

Seeing how sensible the girl was, Nangong Cheng naturally wouldn't pretend to refuse, and instead gave her a task despite his insincere words.

[Task issued: Feed Nangong Cheng by hand and drink the milk tea he provides by placing it on your chest]

[Task Reward: 500 points]

[Failure to complete the mission will result in a penalty: making an imported bento box for Nangong Cheng.]

Imported bento boxes?

But she doesn't even know how to make a bento box!

Wait a minute, why is it imported?

Sakura Airi's already flushed face turned even redder, because the system actually gave a detailed explanation of the punishment after hearing her thoughts.

But the girl finally raised her slightly trembling hand and placed the drink with a straw that Nangong Cheng had handed her steadily on the chest of her school uniform.

"I don't, I don't mind..."

"So, Nan, Nangong, please, please sit down a little closer."

Although she succeeded, Sakura Airi still felt ashamed, and unconsciously started stuttering again when she spoke.

"Ok."

Nangong Cheng readily sat down next to him.

From this close, face-to-face perspective, it was the first time he had ever seen a girl actually drink a beverage from her chest.

Unfortunately, this time it's a school uniform version, and they're not drinking milk tea, so it feels very different.

"Speaking of which, Sakura-san's way of drinking beverages is quite unique. It's the first time I've ever seen a girl do that..."

Nangong Cheng even made a special gesture.

Sakura Airi blushed, and to hide her embarrassment, she unusually deftly fed the first bite of rice to Nangong Cheng.

"Nangong, please don't bully me..."

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."

Nangong Cheng stopped speaking.

For the rest of the time, he quietly enjoyed the beautiful girl's feeding service and silently admired her cute blushing appearance.

But happy times are always short-lived.

Although school ends early in the afternoon in Japan, the cost is that the lunch break is significantly reduced.

Nangong Cheng stood up, still feeling unsatisfied.

"Sakura-san, thank you for your hospitality today."

"I'm really looking forward to the next time..."

The suggestive exclamation reached Sakura Airi's ears directly, making the girl secretly delighted yet unable to suppress her shyness.

[Task Completed]

[Mission Reward: Host receives 500 points]

Looking at the text on the panel in her field of vision, the girl subconsciously touched her lips, letting out a murmur that was almost only audible to herself.

"I'm... really looking forward to it too."

Volume 1: Chapter 23, I've waited so long, I won't wait any longer.

After school.

Nangong Chenggang stood up, intending to apologize to Sakura Airi, because today's schedule needed to be adjusted.

But then he heard someone calling his name.

“Nangong classmate…”

A fleeting glance.

He turned out to be a sunny and cheerful young man.

"Hirata-kun, is there something you need?"

"It's about what happened this morning... I think we need to discuss it and decide on the future course of action for the class as soon as possible."

Nangong Cheng was not surprised by this.

As the only kind-hearted person in Class D who cared about whether the class would collapse or split up, Hirata Yosuke really went to great lengths for a group of problem children.

This family would definitely fall apart without him.

"So, what are your thoughts, Hirata-san?"

Nangong Cheng doesn't dislike this kind of person.

Even if Hirata Yosuke's obsession stemmed from past psychological trauma, a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions.

Despite his respect, he still refused to be a babysitter for Class D.

"I wouldn't call it a thought, since reality is already in front of us... All we can choose is to try our best to climb up, or give up from the beginning."

Hirata Yosuke forced a smile and said.

He didn't really care whether he could graduate from Class A and receive the benefits guaranteed by the school; what he cared about was whether the atmosphere within the class was harmonious and stable.

But when the tide turns, Class D can't stay out of it, and they can easily become victims in the competition.

He was afraid that the class would collapse.

But he wasn't blind. In just two or three days, he could get a general idea of ​​the students in his class and realize that relying on them to compete with other classes was nothing short of wishful thinking.

Therefore, in this situation, a reliable leader must step forward and make a statement.

"I understand what you mean."

Nangong Cheng looked at Horikita Suzune on his left.

"If Hirata-kun wants to give it a try, I'm naturally willing to offer my moral support."

"Horikita, what do you think?"

Horikita Suzune sat and watched.

She crossed her arms and glanced at Nangong Cheng before replying coldly, "My code of conduct doesn't allow me to give up without doing anything."

"But judging from what happened this morning, I think you should go and talk to those students who might be dragging the class down."

"Because I don't want to find out that someone I consider an accomplice is stabbing me in the back when I'm doing something for the class."

Hirata Yosuke smiled awkwardly.

Just as he was about to say something polite, Kikyo Kushida, who had been secretly observing for a while, also came over.

"I believe that no one would do that!"

"If such a situation really arises, both Hirata and I will take the responsibility of communicating properly with the students, so please, Horikita, stop saying things that are detrimental to unity... okay?"

Do you also use the old-fashioned playing style?

Nangong Cheng glanced at Kushida Kikyo, who seemed a little too immersed in her role, with surprise, feeling that she was really going a bit too far.

Are you going to sing "Spring Shadows" too?

"I'm just telling the truth."

Horikita Suzune said that although she was not good with words, she could still understand the subtext of this person labeling her.

He immediately returned a hat in return.

"Moreover, the publicly available information mentions how this school divides students into classes, but Kushida, your behavior these past few days doesn't seem like that of a student in Class D."

"So I've been wondering if you're just faking it?"

Holy crap, Horikita is amazing.

Nangong Cheng raised an eyebrow.

Kikyo Kushida is probably going to be furious with Suzune Horikita, thankfully she didn't reveal her true spirit form on the spot.

"Um... if I did anything to upset Horikita-kun, I apologize. Could you please stop saying such mean things?"

"I just hope everyone can have a relaxed and happy three years at this school..."

The more pitiful Kikyo appeared on the surface, the more hysterically she cursed inside.

She only made a sarcastic remark, and you, Horikita Suzune, are you about to flip the table?!

Want to play or not?!

I'm asking you, are you going to play or not?!

"Horikita-kun, please be gentle with your words."

"Kushida-san is thinking of everyone in the class, after all, we are a whole..."

As someone with experience, Hirata Yosuke could sense the hostility in Horikita Suzune's words, and immediately stepped in to act as a peacemaker.

However, he must have felt quite guilty, after all, he was a man who had personally orchestrated a vicious bullying incident.

Nangong Cheng smacked his lips, feeling bored.

I thought I'd get to hear stories about my family of origin.

However, Horikita Suzune's aggressiveness this time has probably maxed out Kushida Kikyo's negative emotions, so it seems that it won't be long before her famous special CG scene is triggered.

I'm really looking forward to it.

He had already figured out how to design the task.

"Because it's a whole, I think Horikita-kun is right."

Just then.

Karuizawa Megumi joins the battle.

She approached with her small group, starting with almost zero frames of animation.

"Everyone knows the situation in Class D now, so let's stop fooling ourselves. If someone really causes trouble and drags the class down, are we still going to appease them?"

"It's one thing to make mistakes once or twice, since everyone makes mistakes, but what if someone keeps repeating the same mistake?"

Hirata Yosuke opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he just shook his head with a wry smile.

Horikita Suzune glanced at Karuizawa Megumi with some surprise, not expecting the other to speak up for her, and a peculiar thought suddenly arose in her mind.

"It's too early to say these things now."
