Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

The question became even more unreasonable. Suzuki Tetsu thought for a moment and then asked, "How does Asahina-senpai want to eat?"

Asahina Nazuna's face darkened. She was asking the question, not answering it!

"You're the one who's distributing the funds now. You need to ask yourself what to do, not me."

“I know what you mean, senior. It’s unfair to give it to just one person, but it’s also unfair to cut the apple and share it with you without considering your feelings,” Suzuki Toru said. “Even though there’s only one apple, I think we can discuss it.”

Asahina Nazuna fell silent. If you can discuss how to eat an apple, can you also discuss love?

"The problem isn't the distribution, it's why I only gave you one apple instead of two or three. Why can't everyone get one?"

"..."

Asahina Nagisa's thoughts were in disarray. She couldn't think of any reason to refute Suzuki Tetsu, even though his ideas were just as despicable as Nagumo Masaru's.

Since she couldn't think of anything, she simply gave up on the topic.

How did you know we'd have PE class today?

The timetables for the two grades were different, and Asahina Nazuna was quite curious as to how he knew her class's schedule.

"I checked the location and found that you and Senior Nagumo were both at the gymnasium, so I came to check on you." Suzuki Tetsu said without batting an eye.

"Whoa, isn't this a perverted stalker?" Asahina Nazuna was dumbfounded.

"I don't check it every day," Suzuki Tetsu defended himself, saying that there were people who were even worse than him, watching his location every day.

“Suzuki-kun, I think first-year students should focus on their studies.” Asahina Nazuna said sternly, “You can skip class today, but you might do something even worse tomorrow. Even if you don’t care about the class, you should at least restrain yourself a little.”

"Okay, okay, I'll go back right away." Suzuki Tetsu was about to leave when he suddenly turned back. "Don't tell Nagumo-senpai, thank you for your trouble, senpai."

Asahina Nazuna watched him leave, and after a while, she returned to the venue with an indifferent expression.

"Qi, let's practice it again later."

Nan Yunya patted the girls next to her, telling them to go back and practice.

"Haha, I'm a little tired." Asahina Nazuna sat down to the side. "I don't think I can keep up with Aya's speed. How about we find someone else to be your partner?"

"What are you talking about? My partner can only be you." Nan Yunya said dismissively. "Three-legged race isn't a particularly difficult game, and didn't we work well together before?"

Asahina Nagisa remained silent for a while, then did not object further.

However, years of tacit understanding allowed Nan Yunya to quickly notice her unusual behavior and she couldn't help but ask, "Is it because of what I just did?"

Seeing that Asahina Nazuna remained silent, he said somewhat impatiently, "I've told you many times, you don't need to care about these trivial matters at all. The only person I truly care about is you, and they know that too."

So, can you feel at ease just by having this idea?

Asahina Nagisa couldn't help but think of Suzuki Tetsu from earlier. The other man's sophistry left a deep impression on her, and more importantly, his last words were not a joke at all, but rather a serious consideration.

If there is only one apple, it will certainly be unfair, because some people will want to eat more meat and will feel wronged if they get less. As the number of people increases, the amount of meat that can be allocated will also decrease.

You know, they could have enjoyed an apple to their heart's content.

After hesitating for a moment, Asahina Nagisa told Nagumo Masayuki about the problem.

To this, Nan Yunya replied nonchalantly, "Of course it's for you. You'll always be my top priority."

The answer was decisive, and most girls would expect this answer. Asahina Nazuna was no exception. Whether rationally or emotionally, she did not want to share the apple.

However, Nan Yunya's actions made her feel uneasy.

Asahina Nazuna suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly. Why did she have to think so much?

Suzuki Toru led me astray. He and Nagumo Masaru were childhood friends, so of course his apple was his.

So, Asahina Nagisa decided to forget about these things for the time being and intentionally or unintentionally ignored the girls around Nagumo Masaru. No, she was already used to having girls around Nagumo Masaru.

After all, they were childhood sweethearts, and Asahina Nazuna was willing to give him more trust.

Chapter 294 Companions Who Suffered Humiliation Together

Even two days later, Suzuki Tetsu still occasionally thinks about Asahina Nazuna's question. The reason he talked to her about it was probably because it touched on some sensitive memories.

Of course, more importantly, he wanted to know Asahina Nazuna's opinion of Nagumo Masaru.

It's obvious that the other party had considered Nan Yunya's behavior, but found it hard to accept; otherwise, the two might have been together.

However, other reasons cannot be ruled out.

"That's so unfair. He said he would have a cup of coffee with me, but he just stared blankly the whole time."

Suzuki Toru suddenly felt a sharp pain in his calf. When he came to his senses, he saw that Kushida Kikyo, who was sitting opposite him, was staring at him with great displeasure. She must have kicked him under the table when no one was looking.

"I'm thinking about how to answer you."

"Hehe, have you thought it through?" Kikyo Kushida counted them off on her fingers one by one, "Horikita, Sakayanagi, Kamuro, Sakura, Ichinose, Hasebe, Karuizawa... Tell me, you don't want them all, do you?"

"We can add another kiwifruit sauce," Suzuki Tetsu suggested.

Kikyo Kushida glanced at him and said irritably, "I never said I wanted to be with you. Our relationship has always been a cold master-servant one."

Suzuki Toru looked strange. How could there be a cold master-servant relationship in this world?

"However, I'm very curious, how exactly did you do that?" Kikyo Kushida was completely puzzled. "I can understand Horikita, but surely you can't threaten everyone else in the same way?"

Suzuki Toru took a sip of coffee. It was that kind of question again. How was he supposed to answer it?

Is this all you're asking for?

"What do you mean, 'my request'?" Kikyo Kushida glared at him angrily. "A master should tell his servant everything. A servant has the right to know everything about his master."

“I’m a womanizer,” Suzuki Toru replied succinctly.

Kikyo Kushida kicked him again from below, completely unlike the demeanor of a little angel.

Seeing Suzuki Toru grimacing, her mood seemed to improve considerably. She beamed and whispered, "You and Horikita did something naughty again, didn't you?"

“I do it every week.” Suzuki Tetsu said calmly. He knew that Kushida Kikyo’s invitation to meet him at the coffee shop was not just for a simple chat.

"That's so lewd." Kikyo Kushida blushed, but her eyes were also filled with excitement. "The sports festival is about to start, and I still haven't seen her in her leotard. Can you take me with you?"

"Are you really not a lesbian?" Suzuki Toru asked doubtfully.

“Say that again and I’ll bite you to death!” Kikyo Kushida retorted without any politeness. “The point isn’t that she’s wearing a gymnastics uniform, but that I want to enjoy watching her in a gymnastics uniform being played with and messed up by men.”

"Vulgar." Suzuki Tetsu rarely retorted with such a comment. To say something like that in such a public setting meant this little angel was beyond saving.

"You're the one who's being vulgar, not me." Kikyo Kushida's face was flushed, but she realized she was getting a little excited, so she softened her voice. "I've thought of a great idea. Didn't you say she couldn't accept being embarrassed in front of others?"

"I did say that, so what?" Suzuki Toru felt a little curious. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to be brewing some amazing plan.

"Ahem, what do you think would happen if she had a companion?" Kikyo Kushida knew her cheeks were burning, but she had to continue. "It's embarrassing in front of outsiders, but if you think about having a companion who has also been humiliated, doesn't it make it much easier to accept?"

Suzuki Toru fully understood what she meant, and then remained silent for a long time.

"No, but I don't want you to actually mix me. I just want to watch from the sidelines... or let me mix Horikita a bit too, I'd be happy to."

Is this all you asked for?

"Is it weird?"

"It's not surprising. I'm just a little curious about your past conflict with Lingyin."

“I have no past with her, unlike you. You can call her Rinne now.” Kikyo Kushida took a sip of coffee, her tongue feeling a little bitter. “It’s just that I’m annoyed.”

Suzuki Tetsu looked at her for a while and then said, "I can agree to that, but in return, you should tell me about your past."

"What? Does my attitude towards Horikita bother you that much?" Kikyo Kushida said curtly.

“I want to know about Kikyo-chan’s past, that’s all.” Suzuki Tetsuya paused. “Consider this taking back what I said earlier, I’m very interested in your friend’s game.”

Kikyo Kushida pursed her lips, but she knew very well that the opportunity between the two of them came about because of this. On the rooftop at that time, Toru Suzuki keenly noticed that she cared a lot about her image, so he simply blackmailed her.

Unlike before, to be honest, she now feels it's okay to tell Suzuki Toru. After spending a semester together, she has a good understanding of Suzuki Toru.

Without a doubt, this man was indeed a lecher, but he had a good sense of propriety, making people feel ashamed but not humiliated or disgusted.

In other words, Kikyo Kushida sometimes seemed to be flirting.

What she found even more unbelievable was that Suzuki Tetsu could have easily taken advantage of her, yet he hadn't gone any further.

Whenever she thought about this, Kikyo Kushida felt a mix of emotions. To be honest, even her boyfriend wouldn't be this calm, which made her start to doubt her own charm.

Fortunately, Toru Suzuki has recently proven himself.

Just as Kikyo Kushida was about to speak, she suddenly saw a figure, immediately changed her expression, and showed a surprised and happy smile, greeting the person.

"Hey, what a coincidence, Hasebe-kun, it's you again!"

As she spoke, Suzuki Toru subconsciously turned around and saw Hasebe Haruka standing not far behind him.

"What a coincidence, are Kogoro and Suzuki-kun on a date?" Clearly, Hasebe Haruka was also quite surprised.

"Hahaha, there are too many people now. Hasebe-kun, would you like to sit over here?" Although Kushida Kikyo didn't want to steal any men, she wouldn't deny her relationship with Suzuki Toru, after all, they were master and servant.

"Eh, is this alright?" Hasebe Haruka tilted her head. "Won't it disturb you two?"

"No, no, it's fine if it's just Hasebe-kun alone." Kikyo Kushida smiled, as she was trying to test Haruka Hasebe.

So Suzuki Toru couldn't even get a word in edgewise, and the two girls made their own decision.

Although they were sharing a table, Hasebe Haruka would never sit next to him, so she naturally sat down next to Kushida Kikyo, placing the coffee she had been holding on the table, which was steaming slightly.

Chapter 295 A good friend is yourself (Bonus Chapter 12/12)

This was the first time Suzuki Tetsu had seen the two of them on screen together. One of them was all smiles, radiating youthful energy that belonged to their age, while the other was listening to the other with great interest, occasionally chiming in with a comment.

Although both are exceptionally beautiful girls, their images are completely different. Kikyo Kushida is like a friendly classmate sitting next to you, always sharing her experiences. Her innocent and lovely smile makes people want to get closer to her.

Moreover, this little angel has a delicate and pretty face, and her porcelain-like skin shines with a smooth and white luster, seemingly so tender that it could be broken with a breath. Her small nose makes you want to pinch it, and her tender lips are always babbling away, occasionally giggling. When she hears certain topics, she will reveal an extremely gentle expression at just the right time, and whisper to comfort the other person.

She has exceptional emotional intelligence, ensuring that the atmosphere remains lively and that the other person doesn't feel awkward.

Suzuki Toru thought silently that a woman like this could probably manipulate men like a dog.

Haruka Hasebe doesn't have an exaggeratedly friendly demeanor; her first impression is that of a somewhat unapproachable girl.

However, after a brief conversation, it becomes clear that her emotional intelligence is likely no less than that of Kikyo Kushida.

If it were Horikita Suzune, there would probably be an awkward silence, and Sakura Airi would be even less likely to keep up with the conversation. Only she is able to sit here nonchalantly and chat enthusiastically with Kushida Kikyo.
