Oh no! They all seem a bit off!

Chapter 50: A Head-on Showdown with an Abnormal Woman
Before we knew it, the morning classes were over, and a short lunch break was in the air.

After that, Shiraishi Rin became much more obedient and stopped attacking Akizuki Makoto, only teasing him verbally.

To this, Akizuki Makoto mostly chose to ignore it. Only when he couldn't stand it anymore would he reply with a word or two, and then routinely warn her not to talk during class.

Although it was no use, Shiraishi Rin continued to harass him with a grin.

"I didn't expect Akizuki-kun to bring his own lunch."

Shiraishi Rin watched as Akizuki Makoto pulled a bento box out of his bag, raised an eyebrow, and thought to himself that he really could do everything, a true all-rounder.

"..."

Akizuki Makoto opened his lunchbox without saying a word. Today's lunch was scrambled eggs with tomatoes and cola chicken wings.

Although the taste will be slightly worse if you reheat it in the microwave after it's cold, it's still better than eating in the cafeteria.

Shiraishi Rin pushed the wheelchair closer to Akizuki Makoto, looking at the food in his bento box with interest, and said, "It looks really good, can I have a taste?"

"Shouldn't you ask for something from someone using a requesting phrase, instead of taking it for granted?"

As Akizuki Makoto said this, he picked up a piece of cola chicken wing and started eating it.

"That……"

"Autumn, Autumn Moon Lord!"

Just as Shiraishi Rin opened her mouth, wanting to ask Akizuki Makoto for a piece of chicken wing, a shout suddenly came from behind them, interrupting her.

In an instant, her face darkened, and she turned around to look behind her, wanting to see who was so tactless.

As she turned around, Akizuki Makoto also turned his head, looking slightly surprised, and asked, "What's wrong, Shiina-kun?"

The visitor was none other than Shiina Maki.

Clutching a small lunchbox, her face slightly flushed, she pursed her lips and whispered, "Can I...can I share a table with you and have lunch together?!"

Sharing a table for lunch is common on Japanese school campuses; it's something close friends often do.

To Makoto Akizuki's surprise, Maki Shiina actually mustered the courage to ask him to share a table for lunch, whereas she usually ate alone in her own seat.

"Okay, come on."

Akizuki nodded and moved the table back a little to make room.

Fortunately, the student in front of him didn't eat in the classroom; he went to the cafeteria. Shiina Maki could sit in that spot directly, saving her the trouble of moving tables and chairs.

"Who is this classmate?"

Rin Shiraishi looked at Maki Shiina, who was sitting face to face with Makoto Akizuki, and a smile devoid of emotion or warmth appeared on his face.

Akizuki Makoto glanced at her but remained silent, wanting to see how Shiina Maki would react.

"Y-you...hello...Shiraishi-kun..."

Shiina Maki greeted Shiraishi Rin somewhat reservedly before introducing herself: "My name is Shiina Maki, and I'm Akizuki-kun's... friend."

She came here to assert her sovereignty!
She originally didn't dare to approach Akizuki Makoto and suggest sharing a table with him for dinner.

But seeing Shiraishi Rin pestering Akizuki Makoto again, she had to muster her courage, lest she become the one left behind after repeatedly backing down.

"……friend."

Shiraishi Rin was silent for a while, muttering the word "friend" to himself, a hint of disdain in his smile.

She wasn't stupid; she could naturally tell that Shiina Maki had feelings for Akizuki Makoto.

The so-called "shared table" dinner was just an attempt to forcefully intervene between them, to prevent her from continuing to seduce Akizuki Makoto.

Women seem to have an innate talent for palace intrigue. With just a glance, they can sense whether someone harbors hostility towards them.

It's obvious that Shiina Maki harbors hostility towards her.

Even though Shiina Maki was timid and appeared somewhat reserved and introverted, the hostility and vigilance in her eyes were undisguised and difficult to conceal.

Shiraishi Rin just smiled at this and didn't seem to care much.

Because in her view, Shiina Maki posed no threat whatsoever.

Although she is very good-looking and has a sexy figure, she doesn't seem to be very bright and doesn't seem to have many tricks up her sleeve.

Otherwise, she shouldn't have been in such a hurry, so abruptly intervening in her and Akizuki Makoto's relationship, and so blatantly displaying hostility towards her.

It's no exaggeration to say that Shiraishi Rin had come up with no fewer than ten ways to deal with Shiina Maki in just one minute.

The simplest way is to hypnotize Akizuki Makoto directly and make her swear allegiance to him in front of her.

"It's quite entertaining to take what others want and see them sad and upset about it..."

With this thought in mind, Shiraishi Rin had another reason to want to get Akizuki Makoto.

Just as this world took away her legs and ruined her bright future.

Taking what others cherish can indeed greatly satisfy her twisted and darkened heart.

Just like it is now.

Shiina Maki asked Akizuki Makoto for a piece of chicken wing, and Akizuki Makoto agreed.

Just as Shiina Maki was reaching out with her chopsticks to pick up a chicken wing and put it back in the lunchbox, she suddenly snatched the chicken wing away like a tiger grabbing food from the mouth.

At that moment, both Makoto Akizuki and Maki Shiina were taken aback.

They never expected Shiraishi Rin to do this so suddenly. How is this any different from directly picking a fight and provoking them?
Akizuki Makoto could no longer stand idly by and frowned as he questioned, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Shiraishi Rin didn't reply immediately. Instead, under their gazes, she slightly parted her moist cherry lips, bit off a piece of meat, and said while chewing, "Hmm... I want to eat too."

"No, it's alright, Akizuki-kun. Just let Shiraishi-san have her. The teacher said we should take good care of her since she has health issues."

Although Shiina Maki was furious inside, she dared not speak out because of her personality, and ultimately chose to swallow her anger in a cowardly manner.

"It's alright, it just makes me look magnanimous, and Akizuki-kun will definitely think I'm amazing!"

She clenched her small hands tightly, comforting herself in this way, which made her feel a little better.

Her words, which were meant to be a gesture of forbearance and concession, took on a different meaning in Shiraishi Rin's eyes.

She felt that Shiina Maki was mocking her because Shiina Maki's last sentence specifically mentioned her physical inconvenience.

She really didn't understand why her act of grabbing something with her hands was being described as "physically inconvenient."

"Hehe, yes, please bear with us."

Shiraishi Rin sneered, suddenly realizing that he had underestimated Shiina Maki.

This guy isn't stupid; he's just pretending to be dumb.

In fact, Shiina Maki is quite cunning; otherwise, she wouldn't have used this opportunity to directly and subtly poke at her sore spot.

"...If you want to eat, just say so. Don't snatch it. That's very disrespectful."

Akizuki Makoto's expression softened slightly, and he picked up another chicken wing and put it into Shiina Maki's bento box.

Immediately, Shiina Maki cheered up, and all her frustration vanished.

It's a new week, brothers, I hope you can keep reading and cast some monthly votes these next couple of days! Thank you!
