In practice, I can issue tasks to my master.

Even so, she could still feel her legs cramping.

The aftereffects are really strong...

Karuizawa Kei is curious about how Kushida Kikyo felt back then, and whether she felt the same way now.

No, that's not an important question.

The important question is what kind of relationship Kushida Kikyo and Nangong Makoto have, since she had experienced this kind of absolutely addictive massage before her.

Could it be that—

The sudden pain interrupted her thoughts.

"Clap!"

"Clap!"

It turned out that Nangong Cheng was patting the girl's back repeatedly, on areas where cupping could be applied, until her back was almost completely red before he stopped.

"Turn over."

"Ah... oh..."

Karuizawa Kei responded in a muffled voice, then rolled over like a pupa.

But her face was still buried in the pillow.

Even though she had deliberately sealed her vision, she could actually feel Nangong Cheng's gaze wandering over her body more clearly.

"Given your previous condition, maintaining a healthy body... it must have been very difficult for you."

"But from now on, you don't have to worry."

As Nangong Cheng spoke, he picked up the essential oil from the side again and poured it into his hand.

I thought maybe I should prepare some aromatherapy next time.

We need to work on the atmosphere.

"After what happened today, I doubt any foolish girl will dare to mess with you again."

"Now I can enjoy my rosy youth freely, easily, and happily."

"Well……"

Karuizawa Kei shifted her body slightly.

She tried to clear her mind, but also wanted to talk to Nangong Cheng more: "Nangong-jun..."

"If...the school...hadn't...called...you would you have come..."

Nangong Cheng worked diligently with his hands, his gaze focused as if he were looking at a masterpiece of art, striving to maximize the effect of this massage.

But as a master of time management, he never minded multitasking.

"meeting."

"You're not... lying to me?"

Nangong Cheng smiled, then increased the pressure on his hand slightly, and said, "Karuizawa-san, do you still remember what I asked Matsushita-san and the others to pass on?"

"Hmm... Nangong Jun... means... I understand..."

"Relax, don't be nervous."

Nangong Cheng offered a word of comfort, then continued, "Actually, whether I come or not is not important. What's important is that I believed from the beginning that you could handle this yourself."

"It's more accurate to say that what I said that night put some unnecessary psychological burden on you; otherwise, this whole farce wouldn't have happened in the first place."

"But... you are special."

Upon hearing this, Karuizawa Megumi's tense body immediately relaxed, and a light feeling and memories of the afternoon began to sweep over her mind.

"No...that's not true..."

“If it weren’t for…Nangong Jun…I definitely…wouldn’t have been able to…do it…”

"At that moment... I was really... excited... I wanted to cry... but... I couldn't cry..."

Nangong Cheng looked at the girl with pity, then leaned down and whispered gently in her ear, "Then take this opportunity to cry your heart out."

"Cry it out, and then welcome tomorrow."

"Um……"

After this sentence.

Karuizawa Kei no longer remembers what happened after that.

Just moments before her memory went blank, she remembered her cerebral cortex sending out signals of pleasure she had never experienced before.

And a notification sound when the task is completed.

Volume 1: 66. Listen to your mother

The next day.

Nangong Cheng opened the door to welcome Ichinose Honami and...

"Where's Wangcang?"

"I took it upon myself to talk to Ma Zi, and she won't be coming over again."

Ichinose Honami brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, a strange blush appearing on her face, and continued to explain, "Nangong-kun is disappointed?"

"Could it be that she's taken a liking to Ma Zi?"

Nangong Cheng shook his head.

But this is not a denial, but rather—

"Ichinose's mother, what you're doing isn't appropriate, is it?"

Why did he specifically ask Wang Cang Ma Zi to stay? Wasn't it just to give you an external sense of shame?

Wouldn't it be a mess if you kicked people out?

"This was supposed to be a punishment, but you're making me feel really embarrassed."

"I'm sorry... I will make it up to Nangong Jun."

As if Ichinose Honami had anticipated this situation, after saying this, she directly pushed Nangong Cheng into the room with both hands.

"Lower your head."

"..."

Nangong Cheng remained silent, but did as instructed.

"Close your eyes for a moment too."

"..."

Okay, okay, is this how you play it?

You'd better be... um?

"Is this... okay?"

It was just a kiss on the forehead.

If it were just a cheek or even the lips, Nangong Cheng would be greatly surprised, but now...

Relax and hold it in.

"Hmm...it was indeed a pleasant surprise, but..."

"Thud~"

It happened again.

Nangong Cheng finally chose to look directly at Ichinose Honami's face, wanting to see what she really meant.

I dare to kiss your forehead today.

I'll dare to kiss your cheek tomorrow.

The next time it will be the mouth, and then...

We need to find out the answer to this.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"Speaking of which, yesterday Chairman Horikita told me you did a good job. What exactly happened?"

"Hehehe~"

The girl's smile was even sweeter this time.

Honami Ichinose explained, "Actually, I didn't do anything. I just used my status as a student council member to scare those students in Class A."

“I said—Katsura, a student from Class A, is a member of the student council. If we do nothing about this student’s malicious blocking of the door, I will definitely report it to President Horikita later.”

"Then they became less likely to act recklessly."

The girl even imitated the expression and tone of voice at the time quite well, and it did look somewhat convincing.

Nangong Cheng nodded thoughtfully.

This approach is indeed feasible.

Although the status of student council member became somewhat commonplace later on, it still carried considerable weight at the beginning of the semester.

Class A probably didn't want to lose the spot they bought with 200 million points before they even had a chance to enjoy it, and under this psychological disadvantage, they were suppressed by Ichinose Honami.

"So why do you look so happy today? Did President Horikita promote you and give you a raise?"

"Hmm... So Nangong Jun knew after all!"

The girl puffed out her cheeks in a cute manner, then suddenly laughed: "Yeah, so what should you call me now, Nangong from Class D of the first year?"

"Ichinose-mama~"

Nangong Cheng never forgets his original aspiration.

Once a junior of Wa, always a junior of Wa.

He looked at Ichinose Honami, who was smiling happily, his doubts still unresolved: "But is it really necessary to be so happy about something like this?"

"Hmm... I'm not telling you~"

"Has no one ever told you, Nangong Jun... that you shouldn't pry into a girl's secrets?"

After playfully winking, Honami Ichinose skipped and hopped toward the kitchen with her hands behind her back.

Nangong Cheng stroked his chin and began to think.

While an average office worker would be happy to get a promotion and a raise, a position like that of a highly trained student council vice president...

Something still feels off.

What do you want for lunch today?

"It's all right."

"Name one!"

"...Then let's have fried chicken cutlets."

"Hi~"

Even her voice has become much more strained.

If it weren't for the system's confirmation that this was indeed Ichinose Honami, and if this were a purely Classroom of the Real World setting, Nangong Cheng would genuinely suspect that the girl had been possessed.

Although Ichinose Honami looks even cuter and more charming this way, if you don't understand the reason behind it, Nangong Makoto still feels a little uneasy.

As someone who's a cheater, you can't ignore your intuition.

So he asked another question at the dinner table.

"Ichinose-mama, is there anything you can't tell your beloved eldest son?"
