Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

What truly impressed her, and even caused her great pain, was that her mother made her confess the theft to everyone, subjecting her to everyone's judgment.

The reason this incident became a dark chapter in Ichinose Honami's history is because she was terrified by the judgment she received from others, which made her subconsciously resist letting her classmates in Class B know about her past.

For her, confessing again would be tantamount to going back to the past and facing a second trial.

Sakayanagi Arisu raised an eyebrow and said with a half-smile, "Suzuki-kun, you seem to be too gentle with Ichinose-san. What will she gain in the end by protecting her like this?"

"I want to know how you're going to end this?" Suzuki Toru ignored her question.

"I don't know. Maybe Ichinose will become discouraged, or maybe she's stronger than you think," Sakayanagi Arisu said calmly. "Instead of letting Nagumo-kun continue to hold this handle, it's better to resolve this once and for all."

Suzuki Toru remained silent for a moment.

"Hehe, Suzuki-kun, how about we go eat together now?"

"Sakayanagi-san."

Does this mean I agree?

"Let's play chess in the room next week."

Sakayanagi Arisu paused, a strange sensation seeming to flash across her little feet again, her face slightly flushed, but she couldn't possibly feel fear.

"Hehe, why not?"

However, the outcome of the failure may have been slightly beyond her expectations.

……

In the afternoon, Toru Suzuki went to the coffee shop.

"Wow, there are so many people here. I thought everyone would be crammed into the library."

Haruka Hasebe was dumbfounded to see the café packed with people more than ever before.

"I guess everyone thinks similarly to us," Miki Yamamura sighed deeply. She really didn't like crowded places.

Because there were so many people, Suzuki Toru simply pulled the bewildered Sakura Airi through the queue and quickly found an empty seat.

Immediately afterwards, Haruka Hasebe and Miki Yamamura squeezed in as well.

"Xiao Che is a bad guy; he forgets his friends for the sake of women."

Sakura Airi blushed. She knew Suzuki Tetsu was just taking care of her, but Hasebe Haruka's complaints sounded somewhat comforting.

"No, no...it's not like that..."

"Look closely, Airi is actually quite cute. If she could lift her bangs and wear contact lenses, I think she would look great."

"Eh!?"

"Oh, was I being presumptuous?"

Haruka Hasebe smiled sheepishly, thinking that Airi Sakura was puzzled by her way of addressing her, and explained, "Aren't we fixed teammates now? So, I was thinking it would be better if we addressed each other by our names, otherwise it would be weird if only I was calling her Tetsu-chan!"

"You're only finding this strange now?" Suzuki Toru looked at his phone; Ichinose Honami hadn't replied yet.

“It’s not surprising, since we’re friends, right?” Haruka Hasebe thought for a moment. “Sakura is Airi, and Yamamura is… Miki? If it’s Miki, she’ll clash with another classmate, so I’m sorry, Miki.”

Miki Yamamura was completely stunned; she really wasn't good at dealing with this type of person.

"Wait, it's so weird to suddenly call me by my name!" Sakura Airi glanced furtively at Suzuki Toru. "But... but I haven't even..."

"Is Airi annoying?" Haruka Hasebe wondered. "Isn't it normal for people who are close to call each other by their first names?"

"Do you mean I should call you Haruka now?" Suzuki Toru suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Hasebe Haruka seemed to be taken aback for a moment, a flicker of emotion flashing in her eyes, before she quickly smiled. "It's okay to be even closer, that's how friends should be."

It seemed there was no escaping it. Suzuki Toru looked at Sakura Airi, who immediately looked away.

"Airi."

"Gulp..." Sakura Airi covered her reddened face with her hands. Why was she so decisive?

Toru Suzuki looked at Miki Yamamura, whose body stiffened, as if she had realized something.

"Miki."

"ah!"

As if she had made a terrible sound, Miki Yamamura quickly covered her mouth, her face flushed.

The results were surprisingly good, and Suzuki Toru felt quite pleased.

Since we had already given them questions yesterday, today's tutoring was targeted at them, using methods similar to those used to coax Karuizawa Megumi, since positive feedback is very important for learning.

As long as they remember a point of knowledge or solve a problem correctly, Toru Suzuki will praise them. If they encounter a difficult problem, he will buy them snacks as a reward.

After an hour or two, the person who had the most fun was actually Haruka Hasebe.

Chapter 358 Please

After finishing his tutoring session for the day, Toru Suzuki checked his phone again. The other party had replied, saying that he was perfectly fine.

As for whether something was wrong, Suzuki Toru didn't intend to listen to her side of the story and decided to go over there tonight.

However, he doesn't seem to be the only one with this idea.

As soon as Suzuki Tetsu returned to his dormitory, he saw someone squatting at his door, hugging her knees with her arms around them, her face completely buried in her knees. He couldn't see her face, only her high ponytail swaying in the wind.

"If I remember correctly, the girls' floors should be above the 9th floor, right?"

Upon hearing his voice, Amakura Asako raised her head, her beautiful eyes refocusing on his face, and she bit her lip slightly: "Fanami-chan is in trouble."

"Are you referring to today's rumors?" Suzuki Toru also wanted to know how Class B would react, but no matter how he asked Ichinose Honami, she wouldn't tell him. "Should we go inside and talk about it?"

Asako Amakura instinctively tried to stand up, but her legs were numb from squatting for so long, and she felt dizzy and almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Toru Suzuki caught her in time.

"How long have you been waiting for me here?" Suzuki Toru asked, somewhat annoyed.

Netkura Mako didn't answer, her face slightly flushed. She couldn't very well say that she had been squatting there for half an hour, could she?

"You can message me next time; it's not like I won't reply."

"But your messages are so weird, it's always something like 'Let me see your legs'..."

"..."

Suzuki Toru remained silent for a moment, while Amakura Asako blushed and pushed him away. She finally understood why he looked at legs every day; he was a genuine perverted foot fetishist.

Upon opening the dormitory door, Toru Suzuki went in first, while Asako Amakura hesitated at the door for a long time before finally following him in.

"Excuse me." The girl bent down in the entryway, gently hooking her finger on the shoe, and her jade-like foot, encased in white stockings, emerged from the small leather shoe. Her ankle was slightly pink, and she slowly stepped onto the clean floor. Her five toes, like a row of small pearls, were tinged with a delicious pinkish-red, attracting attention.

Asako placed the shoes aside, then noticed Toru Suzuki staring at her. Her face flushed slightly. Was she walking into a trap?

However, the only person she can trust now is Toru Suzuki.

As Ayakura Mako walked into the room, she unconsciously noticed her surroundings. It was her first time in a boy's room, and it was cleaner and tidier than she had imagined. There was nothing strange about it; it seemed quite ordinary.

"The rumors started today, right? What's the situation in your class?"

"Yes, everyone is concerned about Honami-chan. Kanzaki-kun and the others are planning to find out who made the rumors."

"So, you don't believe Ichinose-san would steal anything at all?"

Amakura Asako looked at Suzuki Toru strangely and asked doubtfully, "Isn't this normal? How could Honami-chan do something like that?"

Suzuki Toru recalled the incident involving Ayakura Asako. It was normal for Class B to not believe these things now, and even to think that some people were using the same old tricks again.

However, he didn't continue the conversation. Instead, he turned to ask, "Make yourself at home. Would you like something to drink?"

“No need.” Asako looked around hesitantly before finally sitting down at the table. “Although everyone is comforting Honami-chan, I can sense that she is very depressed. On the way back, she was almost completely silent.”

Suzuki Tetsuya was silent for a moment: "If, I mean if, Ichinose-san really did such a thing, what would you think?"

Amakura Asako paused for a moment, thought about it seriously, and then said, "Even so, I will not hate Honami-chan, because the Honami-chan I know is definitely not a criminal who would make people feel disgusted and hateful."

"Why?" Suzuki Tetsu asked.

"Because we're good friends. I think even if Honami-chan stole something, she would feel guilty and remorseful. As her good friend, what else can I do besides help her correct her mistakes?" Asako Amakura said matter-of-factly.

Suzuki Tetsu smiled and said softly, "You should have said that in front of Ichinose-san. I guarantee she'll be fine right away."

After a long silence, Asako Amakura seemed to have mustered up her courage and stared straight at Toru Suzuki: "I want to ask you for a favor."

"You want my help?" Suzuki Toru asked, puzzled.

"Could you help me find the person who made the rumors?" Amakura Asako bit her lip. "Also, could you please help Honami-chan a little?"

Was it her past experiences that made her feel a strong protective instinct towards Honami Ichinose?

Just as Suzuki Tetsu was about to reply, he heard her continue, "If possible, I hope you can break up with Honami-chan."

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room became quiet, and Suzuki Tetsu could hear his own heartbeat and the light in the girl's eyes.

"Why do you say that?"

Considering their date a few days ago, it's not surprising that he and Ichinose Honami were assumed to be a couple, especially since Amakura Asako knew he had a girlfriend.

“Because you cheated on Honami-chan, you can’t harass other girls while you have a girlfriend.” Asako Amakura said seriously, “Even if it’s a lewd thought, you absolutely cannot have it with other girls.”

When she heard that Suzuki Toru and Ichinose Honami had gone on a date alone, her mind went completely blank, and it took her a long time to recover.

In the instant she came to her senses, Amakura Asako immediately sent a message to Ichinose Honami, tentatively inquiring about information and also to see if Ichinose Honami knew about the bad things Suzuki Toru had done to Kiryuin Fuuka.

As a result, Honami Ichinose was extremely vague and did not respond to the latter at all.

Clearly, she had been fooled and was completely unaware of Suzuki Toru's other side.

For a moment, Wang Cang Ma Zi felt somewhat disheartened.

She's really serious now and doesn't want Suzuki Toru to continue toying with Ichinose Honami's feelings.

"Are you talking about me and Kiryuin-senpai?" Suzuki Toru wasn't angry; he couldn't help but laugh.

"I don't know why Honami-chan wants to date you, but this kind of thing... this kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable." Asako Amakura was a little angry, not only because of his smile, but also because she regretted her actions.

Suzuki Tetsu thought for a moment, then said, "No, Honami is very important to me."

"Why?" Asako Amakura frowned. "You wouldn't happen to be lusting after Honami-chan's body, would you?"

Has his image in the eyes of Amakura Mako become so bad?
