In practice, I can issue tasks to my master.

Nangong Cheng fidgeted, still looking embarrassed, and said, "Because you're a girl, Ichinose-san... and we... we're not in that kind of relationship..."

"Damn~ tape~ (It's okay)"

Honami Ichinose smiled and justified her actions in a gentle tone, as if coaxing a child: "Because caring about a child's health is a mother's duty and obligation."

"If you're still hesitant, then you can treat me as your girlfriend, just like we did in the cafeteria before~"

Nangong Cheng hesitated and nodded, but then quickly shook his head.

Of course, this was still an act.

"Fruit, it really isn't quite right..."

"How about... Ichinose-mama, you go ahead and leave. I... I'll be fine on my own..."

"Dameyo~"

With things having come to this point, Ichinose Honami could no longer back down and decided to resolve the mission in one fell swoop.

Anyway, her mother had already taught her before, and she had also learned about this online.

Although you may not be very skilled at it, there is a first time for everything. Even geniuses need time to adapt, right?

"Close your eyes and leave it to Mom."

A gentle whisper soothes the soul.

Nangong Cheng was indeed deeply healed at this moment.

As expected, the maternal girlfriend was right.

Constantly calling your girlfriend "baby" will only amplify her desire to be cared for, but constantly calling her "mom" can awaken and stimulate her maternal instincts.

Since things have come to this, let's enjoy it for now.

"Sweetie~ relax~"

"Yes~ That's it~ It's great~"

While whispering comforting words to Nangong Cheng, Ichinose Honami recalled the knowledge she had learned and prepared to apply it to the current situation.

But what to say...

In short—a chaotic mess.

The warmth and touch of her palm instantly drained all her strength, leaving her mind blank and her body frozen as if a pause button had been pressed.

Have you ever played the ring toss game?

Suddenly, Nangong Cheng's hoarse and heavy voice rang in my ears.

Honami Ichinose subconsciously hummed in agreement.

Just think of it as you're tossing rings.

"Oh……"

The stiff body suddenly moved, as if a dormant robot had received new mission instructions.

Honami Ichinose wanted to distract herself.

So she fixed her gaze on Nangong Cheng's face, but that didn't seem enough, so she wanted to talk about something.

“Nangong Jun… what you said when I was outside the bathroom just now…”

"Ok?"

"It's...you said...you like..."

Ichinose Honami suddenly became awkward.

But she felt that the current atmosphere was actually quite suitable for redefining their relationship, so she asked that question.

"Ah... this..."

Nangong Cheng didn't open his eyes, but he could imagine what Ichinose Honami's expression was like at that moment.

He snorted and said, "Since you've already found out, Ichinose-kun, I'm not going to pretend anymore."

"The reason I traded a student council spot to you and chose the condition 'I want to call you mom' was all for this kind of thing."

"How is it? Are you disappointed in me?"

Honami Ichinose pursed her lips.

Disappointed...?

Actually, it's not too bad.

Although she is gentle and tolerant, she is not the kind of naive and innocent girl at heart.

Not to mention, in Japan, a society where one is expected to be perceptive from a young age, it would be strange if she knew nothing.

A student council spot worth at least a million dollars was given to her in a deal that was practically free, which is quite intriguing.

Therefore, Nangong Cheng now admits that he made the deal with her because he liked her, or rather, because he had those kinds of feelings for her...

This purposeful approach actually made her feel more at ease.

A society based on personal relationships is essentially a transaction of interests.

Now that she has gained enough benefits through Nangong Cheng to change her life, she can also use herself to repay Nangong Cheng and achieve a so-called exchange of benefits.

As for whether they are equivalent...

It's hard to say.

Why the disappointment?

"Boys will be attracted to pretty girls, and then try to get close to them or even date them...aren't these all normal social behaviors?"

She looked at Nangong Cheng, who was still with his eyes closed, and unconsciously increased the pressure on her hands, trying to cheer herself up.

"Besides, Nangong Jun, you're so outstanding in every way. Even if you openly pursue girls, I think very few would reject you, right?"

"Does that include you, Ichinose?"

"……Um."

Honami Ichinose caught the straight shot.

"Nangong Cheng is very happy?"

"...Yeah, a little."

"This doesn't seem like just a little bit... Only honest, good children get candy, right?"

"Okay, I'm happy."

"Yoshi yoshi~"

Ichinose Honami suddenly released her grip and then laid it out in front of Nangong Cheng, who had opened his eyes.

The latter narrowed his eyes.

"There's no need to go this far."

"Isn't this a girlfriend's duty?"

Honami Ichinose tilted her head in confusion.

"Um... how did you get a girlfriend?"

"We've gone this far...aren't we already boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Seeing that Nangong Makoto was about to refuse, Ichinose Honami immediately leaned forward towards him, trying to intensify the sense of oppression she felt at that moment.

The latter adjusted his gaze.

"If you don't mind that I plan to date many girlfriends at the same time... then we can indeed be considered dating."

"what?"

Now it was Ichinose Honami's turn to lose her composure.

no?!

That's not what the tutorial says!

What does it mean to consider dating as not minding if you plan to date multiple girlfriends at the same time?

"Makoto, Makoto-kun... I don't think I quite understood what you meant..."

Nangong Cheng put on a serious face and said in a solemn tone, "It's just that I plan to find a lot of girlfriends, so if Fanbo, you mind this kind of thing, then I can only refuse you."

"..."

Honami Ichinose remained silent.

She had considered many possibilities, but this was the one she just hadn't thought of.

Don't you like me?

"Yes, but I also like other people."

Honami Ichinose took another deep breath.

Calm down, Fanbo.

Isn't Nangong Cheng always saying something outrageous? You should be used to it by now... what a load of rubbish!

"Chengjun, you mean... I cooked for you, you called your mother, and I just helped you... but now you're saying you're planning to date a lot of other women, is that right?"

"Yes."

Honami Ichinose closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, the light in them had even dimmed considerably.

"what about me?"

"Have I really become your mother? The kind of mother who cooks for you every day, sweeps, mops, and does your laundry?"

Nangong Cheng shook his head.

How can you say that?

"This is different."

"Well, how should I put it... because you're the kind of girl who gives off a motherly vibe, I actually like you a little more."

Nangong Cheng said in a serious tone, "But other girls also have things that attract me, so I can't give them up for you."

Honami Ichinose felt that she hadn't done anything wrong.

The only mistake she made was that she didn't know Nangong Cheng would have such unconventional ideas.

But who could have predicted this?

Aren't normal couples all in one-on-one pure love?!

“I don’t doubt your excellence, Cheng-kun, but I don’t think other girls would accept your idea, so…”

"I will wait for you to change your mind, Nangong Jun."

Honami Ichinose sighed. She felt that her confession today had failed, and she didn't even know what to do next.

Should I ask my mother for another life counseling session?

But if her mother knew that Nangong Cheng wanted to have a harem, she would probably stop her from continuing to have contact with him on the spot.

Forget it, let's just wait and see for now.

Once Nangong Jun realizes that other girls won't accept his idea, she, who has been by his side the longest, will still have the best chance.

With that thought in mind, Honami Ichinose got up and left.

But unexpectedly, my foot slipped at that moment—

"what!"

In the previous chapter, Wa Xueji's (Wa Xueji's) speech was rejected. It's currently being revised and is expected to be released tomorrow.
