(Ummm, sorry I'm only able to give an update now. If you're wondering why I'm updating this late… well, it's because I forgot, hehehehe.)
Once Tabata Hidenori spoke, all the students looked curiously at Shiraishi Shin and Shiina Mahiru, whispering among themselves.
The boys looked at Shiraishi Shin with envy and jealousy, while the girls looked at Shiina Mahiru the same way.
Seeing his good buddy bring this up, Shiraishi Shin didn't intend to hide it. It was a perfect chance to give Shiina Mahiru status and mark her as his, preventing others from trying to hit on her or confess.
Furthermore, even if he had a girlfriend, it wouldn't greatly affect his ability to flirt with girls later. With his looks, wealth, and capability, having a few more wings behind him wasn't a big deal.
Shiraishi Shin patted Tabata Hidenori's shoulder and laughed, "You're right. Mahiru is my girlfriend now. Isn't that right, Mahiru?"
"Mhm."
Shiina Mahiru hadn't expected Shiraishi Shin to admit it publicly. She nodded, blushing, her heart filled with sweetness.
"Ah!"
"Oh my god, they became a couple?"
"Damn, I really envy the Class Monitor for getting such a beautiful and gentle girlfriend like Shiina-san. Did he trade ten years of his best friend Tabata Hidenori's lifespan for her?"
"Congratulations, Class Monitor! Congratulations, Shiina-san!"
Remarks like these continued, and Shiraishi Shin's area suddenly became very lively.
"What? She really became his first wing?"
The most shocked was Alya. Shiraishi Shin had previously asked her to be his first wing. Although she was happy and wanted to agree at the time, she had politely declined for the sake of reserve.
Only a few days had passed, and Shiina Mahiru had become Shiraishi Shin's first wing, leaving Alya with mixed feelings.
It should have been me first... And then Chitoge Kirisaki. As she looked at Shiraishi Shin and Shiina Mahiru, she felt a strange bitterness and disappointment in her heart.
"Hmm?"
At the same time, the Class Teacher, Okada Yuriko, who was standing nearby, raised an eyebrow upon hearing the news. She looked at the conspicuous Shiraishi Shin and Shiina Mahiru in her class, and a wave of heartache arose in her own mind.
"Wait, he and Shiina-san are already boyfriend and girlfriend, so it's not a brand new relationship. Then why has he been acting... that way towards me these past few days?"
Okada Yuriko recalled Shiraishi Shin's audacity toward her recently. Thinking about it now, this guy probably wasn't satisfied with just one girlfriend and wanted to date multiple people.
She also knew that some men could marry multiple wives. Although such individuals were rare, they did exist. Given Shiraishi Shin's ability and looks, he was naturally no worse than those people, so starting a harem was understandable.
Forget it. She decided she only needed to follow her own desires, regardless of how many partners he had.
Okada Yuriko had already convinced herself internally to accept Shiraishi Shin dating multiple people. After all, the concept of strict monogamy wasn't a fixed idea in this world, so accepting it wasn't difficult.
At nine o'clock, seeing that everyone had arrived, the Class Teachers of each class led their students to board their respective vehicles.
After putting the luggage away, they entered the bus. The Wingman, Tabata Hidenori, hadn't forgotten Shiraishi Shin's desire to install six wings, and he began to exert himself: "Ahem, Shin, the view at the back of the bus is nice. You and Shiina-san should sit in the back. Kujou-san, who is Seirei Academy's Beauty Pageant Champion, Her Majesty the Queen, please also sit in the back. And Kirisaki-san, since you're a transfer student, the back seats are more spacious."
"Fine."
Alya glanced at Tabata Hidenori, said nothing more, and walked toward the back of the bus.
Chitoge Kirisaki also had no objection. She wasn't very familiar with the other students in the class, having only just memorized a few names. The people she knew best were Shiraishi Shin and Shiina Mahiru, so sitting with them was perfect.
Shiraishi Shin gave Tabata Hidenori a look of relief and secretly gave him a thumbs-up. This guy was truly a good buddy and a great organizer. He then took Shiina Mahiru's hand and sat down in the back.
Thus, four people sat in the back of the bus—all representatives of their class's attractive students. Shiina Mahiru naturally sat next to Shiraishi Shin, Chitoge Kirisaki sat next to Shiina Mahiru, and Alya sat on the other side of Shiraishi Shin.
Soon, the vehicle started moving. Twelve buses carried the students away from the school, heading toward the Summer Camp destination.
Alya secretly glanced at Shiraishi Shin and Shiina Mahiru's clasped hands, and, feeling a bit jealous, she muttered softly in russian, "If only he could hold my hand. If he asked me to be his wing right now, I definitely wouldn't refuse."
Shiraishi Shin looked at her, noticing she was murmuring in russian again. He asked, "Alya, what's wrong?"
Alya crossed her legs, showing off her white stockings, rested her arm on her thigh, and supported her chin with her left palm as she looked outside. She replied rather tsundere-like, "Nothing, I'm just curious about where our Summer Camp is going."
"This girl is definitely jealous inside."
Shiraishi Shin hadn't known Alya for just a day; she clearly had a tsundere personality and was a Trash-talking girl. Her current appearance was clearly a reaction of jealousy.
So, he glanced at the students in front. Seeing that no one was paying attention to his side, he slowly placed the fingers of his left hand, which had been resting on the chair, onto Alya's right hand.
"!!"
Alya was startled, even giving a slight shiver. She quickly looked down at her hand, seeing a large hand, slightly bigger than hers, completely covering the back of her own hand.
"You?"
Alya looked at Shiraishi Shin, her mouth slightly agape. He couldn't have understood the russian I just spoke, right?
Although Alya was alarmed, her heart raced, giving her an incredibly thrilling sensation. She didn't make a fuss, instead glancing around like a thief. Seeing that no one was watching, she nervously pulled her hand back slightly, but instead of breaking free of Shiraishi Shin's grasp, she turned her palm upward, interlocking their fingers.
Shiraishi Shin, having experienced much in life, was now holding his official girlfriend Shiina Mahiru's hand with his right hand, and Alya's hand with his left. This "stealthy feeling" also caused his heart to speed up slightly, and the hands they were holding had even started sweating.
"Shin, are you feeling warm?"
Since the sweat was on both hands, not just one, Shiina Mahiru noticed the slight sweat on his right hand, prompting her question.
The moment she spoke, Alya quickly broke free from Shiraishi Shin's hand and pretended to look outside as if nothing had happened.
Shiraishi Shin nodded and said, "A little. I'll just pull down the zipper on my school uniform."
An hour and a half quickly passed. The buses had already left the city and arrived at a temporary camp in a scenic rural area, with each class separated into independent sections.
Okada Yuriko stood in front of Shiraishi Shin and the other students of Class 1 and said, "Students, later we will be making curry rice for lunch by starting our own fires. After we eat, we will check into an inn in town. In the afternoon, we'll go shopping in town, and in the evening, we can enjoy the hot springs. Let's all work hard!"
"Oh!"
Everyone raised their arms and clenched their fists, responding energetically. They were all looking forward to this outdoor Summer Camp activity.
