"Welcome back, Goshujin-sama~"
As soon as Kaoru returned to his dorm, he saw Kushida Kikyo waiting for him at the entrance.
The girl wore a bright smile, and her eyes seemed to sparkle with heart-shaped glee upon seeing him.
What took Kaoru by surprise, however, was her outfit—she was wearing a gym suit unique to Japan.
The white short sleeves clung tightly to her chest, outlining perky peaks that seemed to hide a hint of something more.
Beneath the sleeves, her snow-white arms were exposed, giving off an inexplicably seductive vibe.The lower half was a pair of blue shorts, her perky bottom appearing particularly enticing—plump and full yet still bearing traces of youthful innocence.
Her legs were clad in white thigh-high socks, slightly squeezing the smooth flesh of her thighs, making them look even plumper and softer.
"Master, master, let me help you take off your shoes."
Kushida Kikyo, with a somewhat shy smile, knelt before Kaoru and naturally reached out her small hands to remove his shoes.
This movement, this posture, inadvertently allowed Kaoru to catch a glimpse of the girl's waist and hips, stretching into an extremely alluring curve.
At the same time, a downward glance revealed a slight swaying at the collar of her blouse.
"What are you doing?"
Kaoru took a deep breath.
This girl was getting increasingly bold!
"Huh?"
Kushida Kikyo blinked her eyes, "I'm helping Master take off his shoes."
Kaoru watched as she helped him remove his shoes and neatly arranged them together.
Kushida Kikyo glanced at Kaoru intentionally or unintentionally.
Her posture was somewhat seductive, making one unable to resist the urge to press her head down.
Kaoru reached out and tapped her head.
"Ouch!"
Kushida Kikyo puffed out her cheeks.
Wasn't she attractive enough?
"If you keep this up, I'll have no choice but to take you out on a leash."
Kaoru said, "Seeing the little angel being led around by a man would probably shatter many people's dreams."
"Okay, okay..."
Kushida Kikyo was initially delighted, but noticing his expression wasn't quite right, she quickly changed her tune.
"No, no! I'm the little angel. You can't ruin my glorious image!"
Kaoru restrained himself.
He knew this little angel had long been corrupted, and just like the others, she wasn't afraid of him at all.
In the past, Kushida Kikyo would likely have turned pale with a humiliated look in her eyes, yet she would have no choice but to lower her head and apologize.
But now, she was ecstatic, eagerly wishing Kaoru would turn her into a cream puff.
Therefore, Kaoru forcibly suppressed his thoughts and walked straight past Kushida Kikyo, immediately spotting Horikita Suzune quietly reading a book.
"You're back."
Horikita Suzune glanced up slightly but didn't pay much attention to him, seemingly ignoring Kushida Kikyo behind him.
"Weren't the exam events just announced today?"
Kaoru took the opportunity to sit beside her, "I thought you wouldn't come over until after the exams were over."
To be honest, he thought Ichinose's events were already outrageous enough, but he never expected Ryuen's events to be even more absurd.
Karate, Judo, Taekwondo, Kendo, Wrestling, etc.—it was almost as if he had written "I want to fight" outright.
Ryuen had completely abandoned normal events.
However, even if Ryuen added written exam subjects, given Class C's current level, they would still likely lose to Class D and could easily crash and burn.
"Because our Command Tower is currently filled with nothing but lewd thoughts."
Horikita Suzune's voice was calm, "Besides, we communicate via phone anyway, so location doesn't matter."
Kushida Kikyo leaned in closer.
The girl's softness and faint fragrance made Kaoru feel somewhat heated. It took him a while to remember that Class D's Command Tower was Kushida Kikyo.
"Actually, I wanted Horikita to wear it too, but she absolutely refused."
Kushida Kikyo whispered into his ear, "If you don't experience Horikita soon, she'll cut her hair before long."
Horikita Suzune heard this clearly and coldly remarked, "You don't seem to care about embarrassing yourself in front of others at all."
"Is this really considered embarrassing?"
Kushida Kikyo clung to Kaoru's arm like a warm marshmallow constantly pressing against him, "I'm not forcing you to stay here. Am I bothering you by being Master's little puppy?"
Her words made it seem as if she hadn't been the one egging Kaoru on earlier.
Horikita Suzune couldn't understand what she was doing—it was as if her entire being, including her soul, had completely fallen.
"Alright, stop arguing."
Kaoru felt a headache coming on.
He thought the two would gradually get along better, but instead, things were getting worse.
"Isn't it exam season now? Can't you two at least take it seriously? If we lose again, we'll have nothing left."
Horikita Suzune pondered for a moment: "Class C abandoning the written exam is actually an advantage for us."
She knew Class C's academic ability wasn't much higher than Class D's.
Students like Ishizaki Daichi and Ibuki Mio, who were simple-minded, generally achieved poor results.
Even Ryuen could be considered at the bottom of the class.
Based on this, Horikita had initially planned to place some bets on the written exam, even using Kushida Kikyo to gather information about Class C's usual academic performance.
The top students Ryuen could utilize were probably limited to Kaneda Kaneda, Shiina Hiyori, and a few others.
So far, having studied one week longer than Class C gave them some advantage.
"These days, Class C students have been frequently pestering us, probably trying to gather intelligence."
Kushida Kikyo seemed somewhat exasperated. "Several times, I've noticed them following our classmates, and they're getting increasingly bold. Sudo nearly got into a fight with them."
Horikita glanced at Kaoru, though she knew the Student Council couldn't intervene.
Such minor disputes were inherently difficult to adjudicate—if the followers stubbornly denied it or maintained distance while tailing, what could anyone do?
Besides, they hadn't actually done anything.
"Just following?" Kaoru asked.
"What else?" Kushida grumbled. "If they'd done anything, with you as my backup, I would've called my master over immediately."
Kaoru frowned slightly.
While this behavior aligned with Ryuen's style, it was strange that beyond following, they hadn't taken any real action.
Did they genuinely believe they could secure ultimate victory through fighting prowess?
"By the way, about the hairstyle," Horikita suddenly extended her hand, gesturing toward her long hair.
"What length do you think would be suitable?"
Kushida immediately made a strange expression, though Kaorua didn't notice.
Kaoru reached out and touched her hair strands, feeling as if running his fingers through fine sand—soft and delicate.
Was this the charm of a beautiful girl with straight black hair?
"Anything but bald would be fine."
As his words fell, both girls stared at him expressionlessly, making him feel somewhat uneasy.
Had he said something wrong?
"While she still has hair, quickly act on it," Kushida urged, wanting to help Mitoma unleash Pandora's Box.
"If you miss today, she might not agree later."
Kaoru pressed her to the ground and was about to say something to Horikita when he noticed she didn't seem angry—instead, the tips of her ears were slightly red.
'Wait, why are you avoiding eye contact?'
Seemingly aware of Kaoru's gaze, Horikita continued reading nonchalantly and said.
"Although I find it disgusting, do as you wish. Indulging your hobbies could somewhat count as the cup's task."
Below them, Kushida nudged Kaoru.
"Hehe, this is much more fun than the cup. No need for you to clean up—isn't that convenient?"
The girl's eyes were seductive.
If even the cup was this convenient, how much more so his little puppy?
