In practice, I can issue tasks to my master.

However, she didn't know that ever since the night she confessed her feelings, she had no privacy left with Nangong Cheng and had always thought she was keeping things very private.

"Actually, it's not bad~ I can study on my own in the dorm too~ Don't underestimate me!"

Karuizawa Kei didn't want to delve deeper into this topic, fearing she might inadvertently reveal the strange traits that had been gradually awakening within her these past few days.

I'm a good girl!

It's just a little hobby I have in private!

"However, Class D's final class points were still...if I hadn't—"

"Don't worry about such things."

Nangong Cheng waved his hand.

Just as Karuizawa Kei didn't want to talk much about the secrets of mining, he also didn't want to talk much about the current status of the class points in the four classes.

It's meaningless.

Even with 0 points, you can turn things around, let alone 250 points.

Let's talk about something more adult.

"Karuizawa-kun, you were not only protecting your classmates, but also protecting yourself. You did nothing wrong."

Nangong Cheng naturally placed his hands on Karuizawa Megumi's shoulders, looked into her eyes, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that Karuizawa-san, you still haven't completely gotten over that incident."

"How about this, I'll give you another massage to help you adjust your physical and mental state."

"Will...do we want to come again...?"

Karuizawa Kei turned her head slightly, but the temperature on her face and her subconscious little movements didn't lie.

She hadn't expected Nangong Cheng to bring this up so readily. Sure enough, he still had feelings for her!

But even though I'm happy, I can't agree too quickly; I have to be a little reserved.

"But wouldn't that be too much trouble for Nangong Jun?"

“After all, you said before that this kind of thing is actually very physically demanding... so I wanted to do something for you.”

Nangong Cheng stroked his chin.

Unable to refuse the girl's earnest request, then...

"Since it's Karuizawa-kun who wants it, then I'd like to trouble you to mop the floor and do the laundry."

Fortunately, I still have tasks left today.

That's all for you today.

[Task Assignment: Help Nangong Cheng with his housework]

[Task Reward: 100 points]

[Punishment for mission failure: Tell Nangong Cheng everything you did in the dormitory during your seven-day suspension from classes]

"what?"

Karuizawa Kei was stunned.

No...that's not what she meant...

But since things had come to this point, she had no choice but to do it.

Fortunately, her physical condition improved a lot after taking the [gene enhancement drug], and this level of housework didn't tire her out.

Not to mention that you can enjoy yourself right after you finish your work.

Just thinking about the exhilarating feeling of floating on the clouds that night gave Karuizawa Kei a surge of energy.

but.

However, she saw something in the bathroom that shouldn't theoretically be there—the set of underwear left behind by Honami Ichinose.

The smile on the girl's face disappeared.

"This is……"

"Other girls came by, and one even took a shower in Nangong Jun's room?!"

This conclusion is too easy to draw.

But this is not a good conclusion.

Karuizawa Kei stared at the set of pink lace-trimmed underwear in her hands with a gloomy and dark expression, while her mind raced, trying to figure out who had left it there.

Airi Sakura?

But during this time she was basically inseparable from Haruka Hasebe, even when going to the toilet, they were like conjoined twins.

This one can be skipped.

Horikita Suzune?

This color doesn't seem like something she would choose... but we can't completely rule out that possibility.

However, at this time, Horikita Suzune is still tutoring students in the library, so we can skip her.

Kikyo Kushida?

The possibility is also very high for her.

After all, it was Nangong Cheng who told her that he knew how to give massages, so it's hard to say that he hadn't experienced massages himself.

Thinking about it that way, there's a real possibility that this set of underwear was left behind by Kikyo Kushida.

But still the problem.

Like her, Kikyo Kushida was assigned by Makoto Nanami to assist Suzune Horikita, and she had to go to the library every day to tutor others.

She took a day off and came back today because Nangong Cheng sent her a message.

But Kikyo Kushida is still in the library.

The timing doesn't match up either.

The other girls in Class D were also receiving tutoring at the library at this time, so they basically had no opportunity to do anything.

So it was a girl from another class who ran away?

"Ichinose Honami..."

The moment the thought crossed her mind, a name and its corresponding smiling face immediately came to mind.

It's probably her.

Although Class B also organized extra classes for students, Honami Ichinose, as a member of the student council, did not have time to participate.

Furthermore, since Honami Ichinose has been promoted and given a raise to become the vice president of the student council, it's quite possible that she might occasionally leave work early.

In addition, this outfit is not the size that most girls can wear.

The case is now solved.

"Have they gotten that close already?"

"Or are you already a couple?"

Karuizawa Kei had a burning anger inside her.

If she hadn't already emerged from the shadow of bullying and undergone a mental transformation, she probably would have torn that set of underwear to shreds by now.

That damn cat that steals fish!

Oh no, it seems she's the one who came later.

We still have to criticize them!

The thought that Nangong Cheng might have been doing this or that with Ichinose Honami before she arrived made her heart ache.

Thinking back to how her original suggestion to improve their relationship had turned into helping them clean up the "battle scene," Karuizawa Kei suddenly wished she could just faint and go black, so that she might have a legitimate reason to stay overnight in Nangong Cheng's bed.

But then she thought about it again.

"Hmph, so what if you actually did it?"

"You can do it, but I can't?"

Karuizawa Megumi's eyes also began to blaze with anger.

Isn't it just about stealing a man?

She's already established a "hot girl" persona for herself, so isn't it perfectly reasonable for her to steal someone else's boyfriend?

As for the possibility of not being able to compete?

Karuizawa Kei couldn't help but think of the beauty and body shaping products sold in the system's shop.

The [Flawless Skin Cream] she used before was one of them, and its effectiveness has been confirmed.

"Don't blame me, Ichinose."

"Love is also a kind of war, and excellent men are only meant for the strong."

Despite saying that, Karuizawa Kei's body obediently began washing clothes.

Volume 1: 72. Karuizawa Megumi: Using my

After Karuizawa Kei figured all this out, her mind instantly became clear.

I'll let Ichinose Honami sneak a few steps ahead.

Anyway, she can easily win him back.

But when she thought about how she would still have to wash Ichinose Honami's underwear in the end, Karuizawa Megumi stopped laughing.

The whole process is highly mechanized.

She walked back to Nangong Cheng, indicating that the floor was mopped and the clothes were washed, and that the massage should begin.

"Thank you for your hard work, Karuizawa-kun."

"Let's go to the bedroom without delay."

Nangong Cheng was also looking forward to the massage.

Honami Ichinose's playful banter with him left him somewhat in a difficult position. Although he did offer some guidance, the boundless energy of teenage boys is no joke.

However, after he saw Karuizawa Megumi come out of the bathroom, he belatedly realized that Ichinose Honami's underwear was still lying in the bathroom.

So now they've been caught red-handed.

But it's not impossible to just make up a lie and say that you stole it when you went to Sakura Airi's room before.

Anyway, since Feibo and Airi are of similar strength, Nangong Cheng is not afraid that Karuizawa Kei will discover the problem.

However, he was a little hesitant to let Karuizawa Megumi stay tonight, since it wouldn't be Ichinose Honami coming tomorrow morning, but Horikita Suzune.

It would be very awkward if we crashed.

He definitely wants to avoid this kind of chaotic situation that can be completely avoided.

Therefore, Karuizawa Kei was very upset.

After receiving this terrible news, her already bad mood worsened, and her anger flared up even more.

So, after entering Nangong Cheng's bedroom, she immediately returned her mind and body to nature without saying a word, and then lay on the bed to pretend to be a corpse.

But what good corpse would hum softly?

Nangong Cheng was certain that Karuizawa Kei would soon be unable to hold back her words, and if she could, he would simply add a massage service as a bonus.

“Nangong Jun…”

"Bathroom...clothes..."

Karuizawa Kei closed her eyes and pulled at the bed sheet.

If she could, she would like to bite something else.

"What does Karuizawa-san want to say?"

"For example, whose clothes are in the bathroom?"

Nangong Cheng slowed down the pace a bit.
