Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

"Seriously, Sakayanagi, you really don't..."

Before Kamuro Masumi could finish speaking, Sakayanagi Arisu turned and walked towards Class A's classroom.

“There’s no need to stay any longer. Even if we want to clarify this rumor, it won’t work if I step in. Let’s go back, Masumi.”

Kamuro Masumi glanced at Ichinose Honami across from her, thinking, "She's truly remarkable for overcoming her own darkness."

Hoping that the guy they were talking about wasn't Suzuki Toru, Kamuro Masumi followed Sakayanagi Arisu.

On the other side, Honami Ichinose was somewhat stunned.

"Sakayanagi-san and the chairman are father and daughter!?" Shiraha Chihiro covered her mouth. "You must be kidding!"

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't she a nepotism hire?!" Xiaoqiao Meng was even more shocked.

Netkura Mako turned her phone screen towards them and whispered, "That's what it says. It's a post that appeared on the student forum this morning."

"Really!"

The student forum is an add-on feature of the student's personal system. Students can find the forum area in the corner whenever they open their student ID.

Normally, people don't post in there. After all, modern chat software is so advanced that people only take a look when there's a breaking news story.

For example, the night before last, Ichinose Honami was exposed as a thief, and this morning, Sakayanagi Arisu was confirmed to be the chairman's biological daughter.

Asako Amakura looked at Honami Ichinose and found that the latter was also looking at her, and subconsciously tried to avoid her gaze, her expression particularly restrained.

"Honami-chan, even if you've done bad things, I won't hate you." Under Honami's astonished gaze, Asako Amakura hugged her. "Not only that, I also want to be your best friend, and I want to graduate from here with you."

So that's what Suzuki Tetsu meant last night: if you hold her, you'll immediately notice she's trembling and she's afraid.

In response, Honami Ichinose bit her lip tightly, feeling an urge to cry.

"I also want to continue being friends with Asagi-chan. I won't... I won't let anyone down again."

Amakura Mako could sense her feelings and hugged her even tighter, and she hugged Amakura Mako back in return.

"Whoa, Mako-chan sneaking away like that, how cunning! And what about me!"

Upon seeing this, Xiaoqiao shouted and rushed over, wrapping her arms around their waists.

However, in her excitement, she didn't notice that at the same moment, both of them froze in their expressions and bodies, looking extremely unnatural.

Chapter 362 Should I share a ring with you?

In the morning, Suzuki Tetsu arrived at Class A's classroom and immediately saw Sakayanagi Arisu sitting in her seat, surrounded by strange looks.

Especially when he heard Totsuka Yahiko deliberately shouting about "connections," Suzuki Toru knew that the rumors were spreading faster than he had imagined.

Compared to Ichinose Honami's theft, Sakayanagi Arisu's actions are more serious. Once this is confirmed, Gao Yu's constant promotion of fair competition will become a joke.

It's reasonable for Sakayanagi Arisu to be in Class A, but it's intriguing that the chairman's daughter is in Class A. With a little guidance, the school might have a headache.

"Good morning, Suzuki-kun." Sakayanagi Arisu greeted him with a natural expression, seemingly unconcerned about the rumors. Beside her was Kamuro Masumi, whose eyes held a somewhat wistful look.

"Good morning." Just as Suzuki Tetsu was about to go to Sakayanagi Arisu's seat, Kamuro Masumi had already silently given up her seat and stood aside as if she were being punished.

"Stop looking, you two better hurry up and finish your conversation." Kamuro Masumi noticed his strange look, crossed her arms, and looked a little impatient.

It was Suzuki Tetsu's first time sitting in a JK (high school girl) seat. Feeling a bit curious, he couldn't help but touch the table. He then noticed her long legs standing next to him. Black mid-calf stockings tightly hugged the girl's calves, and her fair, smooth thighs looked exceptionally delicate and tender under the skirt. The skirt was so close that it seemed as if he could see even more of the scenery if he just looked up.

However, what one often sees is the girl's extremely cold gaze, undisguised, a look of disgust that surpasses even the look one has for trash.

"How long do you plan to help her, Suzuki-kun?" Sakayanagi Arisu's voice forcibly pulled his gaze back.

"Are you referring to what happened today?" Suzuki Toru asked, somewhat puzzled. "If she admits her mistake to everyone and still gains Class B's continued trust, what are you planning to do?"

“There’s nothing I can do. The fact is, you’ve helped her again.” Sakayanagi Arisu’s tone remained unchanged. “With your involvement, even if she admits her mistake, everyone’s attention will be diverted to me, and I’ll get to experience what it feels like to have rumors flying everywhere. What do you think I should do?”

Suzuki Toru was stunned for a moment. He thought Sakayanagi Arisu would at least put on a tough act, but he gave in so easily.

"I never expected it to happen so quickly." Sakayanagi Arisu seemed to be lost in thought and didn't speak for a moment.

Before she could speak, Masumi Kamuro interjected, "Someone saw you on a date with Ichinose a few days ago, is that true?"

"Are you doubting that I've won over Ichinose-san?" Suzuki Tetsu feigned surprise. When dealing with other people's questions, if you don't want to answer directly, you have to learn to ask a reasonable counter-question.

"Who knows? They seem quite intimate, and why are you so nervous?" Kamuro Masumi pursed her lips. Actually, she already knew that day that Karuizawa Megumi wasn't the only one spying on her location. "Even perverts can find girlfriends. Tsk, what terrible taste."

Suzuki Toru stared blankly at her thigh, which startled her so much that she involuntarily shrank back. Then, realizing that they were in a classroom and Suzuki Toru was unlikely to pounce on her, she forced herself to remain calm and continued standing there.

"Is she really my girlfriend?" Sakayanagi Arisu suddenly came to her senses and stared at Suzuki Toru with a puzzled look.

"Yes, I still have 7 rings left. Should I give one to you now?" Suzuki Toru frankly expressed his thoughts. If he ran out of rings, he could simply take out a few more.

These "wedding rings" don't have any extraordinary effects; their only effect is that they automatically generate the style that best suits the woman's preferences, guaranteeing her 100% satisfaction.

Therefore, although both Honami Ichinose and Megumi Karuizawa's rings were made by Toru Suzuki, they look completely different.

"Huh? Just how many people do you want to marry?" Masumi Kamuro was dumbfounded. "I told you before, bigamy is a crime!"

Sakayanagi Arisu wasn't angry. She blinked and smiled happily, "If it's alright, could I see the ring that Suzuki-kun prepared?"

As she spoke, she extended her small, white hand to Suzuki Toru, as if expecting him to put the ring on her finger.

However, Suzuki Tetsu knew she was in a bad mood. This guy was testing him, and if he took out the ring, he might trace it all the way back to where it was based on the style of the ring.

Suzuki Tetsu replied as if he had been prepared, "Not now. If Sakayanagi-san can beat me in a game of Go, then I'll give you the ring."

Sakayanagi Arisu fell silent, then smiled faintly.

"Okay, let's wait and see."

Seven rings, huh? She wanted to see what this guy was up to.

……

Two major events happened this morning.

One of them is Sakayanagi Arisu, a student in Class 1-A, who was revealed to be the chairman's daughter and suspected of having connections. People from the first to the third year have been discussing this matter.

This stance persisted until around evening, when the school was forced to publicly explain that Sakayanagi Arisu was indeed the chairman's daughter, but her information had been reviewed by the school and met all the admission standards.

At the same time, the school published Sakayanagi Arisu's entrance exam results, indicating that there was no suspicion of cheating on her part.

Because the official authorities personally refuted the rumors, the popularity of this matter gradually faded within two or three days. However, some people believe that the school blacklisted students from discussing this matter, which is why it lost its popularity so quickly.

Another major event was Ichinose Honami's self-disclosure to everyone.

The older students weren't particularly interested in what happened to the first-year students, and they just listened to the gossip. Only Nan Yunya couldn't hold back after hearing about it and almost broke the vase she had placed in the student council office.

However, the first-year students were particularly shocked.

Many students initially didn't believe that Ichinose Honami would steal anything, thinking it was just a rumor, but they never expected that Ichinose Honami would admit it herself.

To be honest, even the students in Class B were stunned by this situation.

In particular, Honami Ichinose repeated it to the class, and when everyone came to their senses, they all smiled at their leader.

What else can we do now? Of course, we should continue to believe in her. Should we deny her present self because of her past mistakes?

So, when Suzuki Toru finished his tutoring session for the day and returned to his dormitory, he saw Ichinose Honami wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen by herself as soon as he opened the door.

Noticing the door open, the girl suddenly turned around, her gaze falling on Suzuki Toru, her eyes sparkling.

"You're back, Tetsu."

Suzuki Toru remained completely silent. She was still wearing her school uniform, with only a white apron tied around her waist. As she turned around, the hem of her skirt involuntarily lifted, revealing a pair of fair thighs and a particularly noticeable curve to her pert buttocks.

Chapter 363 Mom!

Since it's possible to buy spare keys for the dormitory, it's only natural that Honami Ichinose was able to open the room's lock, and she had also obtained Toru Suzuki's consent beforehand.

After the initial surprise, Suzuki Toru quickly regained his composure, although the sight of a beautiful girl in an apron appearing in his room was somewhat dreamlike.

Especially when he saw her holding a soup spoon and smiling as she said "Welcome back," even Suzuki Toru couldn't help but have a very strange thought.

"Fan Bo."

As Ichinose Honami watched him approach step by step, his expression seemingly a little frightening, she subconsciously panicked. She also realized that it was very awkward for her to appear here in this manner, almost like a newlywed wife.

But he had put a ring on his finger before, so it's not her fault that she had this illusion!

"W-What's wrong?" Honami Ichinose knew she shouldn't panic; after all, she was his girlfriend, so it was perfectly normal for her to be here. "The food isn't ready yet. If we start now... if we do something bad..."

As she spoke, her voice gradually weakened. In the course of their time together, she gradually came to understand what bad things meant, especially when Suzuki Tetsu approached her without saying a word.

If even she could think of her new wife, Suzuki Tetsu would probably have even more wild thoughts.

For example, a welcome kiss or something...

Just as the girl was lost in thought, Suzuki Toru knelt down, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and suddenly pressed his face against her soft belly.

"Fanbo, you're perfect to be a mother."

Upon hearing this, Honami Ichinose was completely stunned. Her previously anxious mood seemed to fall into a deathly silence, and even her brain seemed to freeze for a moment.

"P-Please don't say things like that!" Honami Ichinose blushed deeply. What kind of talk was that? Shouldn't she be saying that he would be a good wife? "I just came to thank you, that kind of thing is not allowed!"

“I genuinely believe that Honami would be perfect as a mother.” Suzuki Tetsu’s tone was earnest. Nothing could be more touching than seeing a high school girl in an apron upon returning home, and now he could still smell her soft, sweet scent.

"I...I understand, get up quickly!" Ichinose Honami felt a strange sensation all over her body. Her hands could touch her buttocks if she lowered them a little, and her breath was on her lower abdomen. It was very strange, as if she had really become a mother.

How could Suzuki Tetsu possibly obey? He groped her thighs and pert buttocks a few times, making her blush. When she was about to get really angry, he finally stood up without making a sound.

"That's going too far. Even I would be angry. That's utterly vulgar."

Seeing her puffed-up face, Suzuki Toru cleared his throat and changed the subject: "By the way, are you alright today?"

Thinking about what happened today, Honami Ichinose smiled slightly, feeling a little happy. She really intended to handle this matter alone and didn't want Toru Suzuki to get involved, so she hadn't met with Toru Suzuki in the past few days.

Suzuki Toru was also well aware of her thoughts and did not forcefully intervene.

However, Suzuki Tetsu still managed to vent her anger in the end.

“I’ve said everything. I’ve let out everything that’s been bottled up inside me.” Honami Ichinose lowered her voice, then smiled with a hint of relief. “It’s so good. I thought people wouldn’t want to associate with someone like me anymore…”

Although she mustered her courage, she couldn't help but feel fear deep down, and even now, she still feels lingering dread.

Therefore, Honami Ichinose came here.
