Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

Chapter 101 The Date

Not to mention Horikita Suzune and the others' celebration party, the day after the exam happened to be a rest day.

Suzuki Toru arrived at the Beechwood Shopping Center early. At the entrance closest to the dormitory, a pretty young girl was standing. She was using a cane and looked unusually eye-catching.

"It's very impolite to keep a girl waiting for so long, Suzuki-kun." Sakayanagi Arisu frowned slightly, seemingly a little displeased with his lateness.

"If you don't want to wait this long, then don't arrive half an hour earlier than the scheduled time." Suzuki Toru was somewhat speechless. He had already set off early, but he didn't expect this guy to arrive even earlier than him.

"Heh, does Suzuki-kun want to deny that you were late?" Sakayanagi Arisu said quietly. "I have a leg problem, yet I was able to leave earlier than you. Aren't you ashamed of that?"

Suzuki Toru had plenty of experience dealing with unreasonable girls, and he replied simply, "It's my fault. Whatever you want to do today, I'll play along."

Sakayanagi Arisu blinked and said with a smile, "Does Suzuki-kun know what I want to do today?"

"I don't know." Suzuki Tetsu told the truth. Yesterday, Sakayanagi Arisu took the initiative to message him and suggested that they meet today. At that time, he was still thinking about Kamuro Masumi's reward.

Sakayanagi Arisu observed his expression and, finding that he genuinely seemed oblivious to anything, tilted her head in confusion.

"In that case, I'd appreciate it if you could come with me today."

After saying that, the girl turned and headed towards the Beechwood Shopping Center. Suzuki Toru couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so he had no choice but to follow her.

Beech Tree Shopping Center is the school's main commercial street, which is home to a large number of commercial facilities. You can find all kinds of specialty stores for daily necessities, and even entertainment venues, such as the gym from last time.

During breaks, this place always gathers a lot of students, especially when you see the young girls in high school walking towards you, it makes you feel like you are walking around Shibuya or Ginza.

For some reason, Sakayanagi Arisu led him all the way to the department store.

“I originally wanted to come with Hashimoto-kun, but he seems to be participating in club activities, and I don’t really understand what you guys like.” Sakayanagi Arisu’s gaze swept over the products on the shelves. “So I wanted to ask you for your opinion, and also chat with you for a while.”

"What do you need advice on?" Suzuki Toru looked at her, puzzled.

Sakayanagi Arisu looked him over for a while, then sighed deeply, "It seems Suzuki-kun is not what I expected."

Under Suzuki Toru's gaze, she pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Since things have come to this, I can only do what I like. I'll tell you the details later."

Suzuki Tetsu pondered her words, but he couldn't make heads or tails of it at all.

Perhaps it was premeditated, but Sakayanagi Arisu led him directly to the clothing section.

Immediately afterwards, Sakayanagi Arisu scrutinized him while selecting clothes, occasionally talking to the sales clerk next to her, seemingly confirming something.

"You're not planning to buy me clothes, are you?" Suzuki Toru felt that the man looked familiar.

“Since the start of the semester, you haven’t bought many clothes for yourself, have you?” Sakayanagi Arisu criticized him mercilessly. “Not only clothes, I heard you haven’t even been to the Keyaki Shopping Center many times.”

“I’ve been here five times,” Suzuki Toru corrected her.

“Only you would care about this number. You have millions of personal points, yet your material desires are frighteningly low.” Sakayanagi Arisu looked directly into his eyes. “I suspect there’s nothing in your room.”

Of course there was nothing there; she would leave sooner or later anyway. Suzuki Tetsu was puzzled by her thoughts.

Even in the last world, he didn't leave any mementos for his idols when he hanged himself with a purple clay teapot, and probably had very few opportunities to remember them through objects.

Sensing Suzuki Toru's thoughts, Sakayanagi Arisu sighed again: "Now that the seasons are changing, I'll help you dress up."

As she spoke, she shoved the clothes in her hand onto Suzuki Toru, gesturing for him to hurry up and change.

Suzuki Tetsu, with a strange expression, took the clothes, turned around, and went into the dressing room. When he came out after changing, Sakayanagi Arisu and the saleswoman scrutinized him together.

"No, next one."

At Arisu Sakayanagi's command, Toru Suzuki began changing his clothes again.

This process was repeated about four or five times, with Sakayanagi Arisu frowning the whole time.

"Your boyfriend has a great physique, this is a really nice piece of clothing," the saleswoman said enviously.

To be honest, Suzuki Toru is already outstanding in appearance. With a little dressing up, he has a youthful and sunny vibe. Moreover, his demeanor is elegant and gentle, and his eyes sparkle, making him irresistibly charming.

“This style doesn’t suit him.” Sakayanagi Arisu pondered for a moment, without correcting the salesperson’s mistake.

Suzuki Toru could only continue changing clothes, but this only made him more confused. What exactly did Sakayanagi Arisu want to do?

Moreover, this scene seemed familiar; he had encountered it before.

After changing his clothes, Suzuki Toru had only been out for a short while when Sakayanagi Arisu nodded without hesitation.

"Could you please wrap up this piece of clothing and the other pieces from before?"

Without consulting Suzuki Toru, Sakayanagi Arisu placed an order with the sales clerk.

A moment later, Suzuki Toru looked at the shopping bag in his hand, and he seemed to know what Sakayanagi Arisu was thinking.

"Let's go, and grab something to eat while we're at it."

Suzuki Tetsu followed silently behind the girl, his feelings complicated.

"What's it like going on a date with a girl like me?"

How did you know my birthday?

Sakayanagi Arisu paused slightly, then smiled nonchalantly: "Don't underestimate my intelligence network, Suzuki-kun."

"You've been looking at my information?" Suzuki Tetsu stared at the girl with a deep look in his eyes. Even he had forgotten how many days until his birthday, but he hadn't expected the girl to know it all.

“No, but I’ve seen similar things.” Sakayanagi Arisu thought for a moment. “You’re a lot like someone I know, but your essence is different, so I’m a little curious about your past experiences.”

"Is this considered a privilege reserved for the chairman's daughter?" Suzuki Tetsu asked.

Sakayanagi Arisu was somewhat taken aback, but then calmly said, "If it's just because I share the same surname as the chairman, then Suzuki-kun should consider the possibility of coincidence."

"There are only two of you in the whole school named Sakayanagi." Suzuki Tetsu mercilessly exposed her rich girl nature.

Sakayanagi Arisu did not refute, but simply said with a smile, "I have not used this identity to do anything outrageous. In fact, I started from scratch just like everyone else."

Suzuki Toru was skeptical of her claims, given the numerous cases of privilege in society.

Anyway, thank you for today.

"Hehe, now is not the right time. Please reserve this thank you for me."

As the two were chatting, they walked out of the department store and saw several familiar figures coming towards them.

Honami Ichinose, Chihiro Shiranami, and Asako Amakura.

In that instant, seeing his girlfriend's astonishment, Suzuki Toru couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion.

Chapter 102 Unaware

When Suzuki Tetsu encountered his girlfriend for the second time, aside from being somewhat surprised, he didn't have many thoughts about it.

However, Ichinose Honami, as his nominal girlfriend, seemed quite taken aback.

Even Chihiro Shiranami and Asako Amakura, who were standing nearby, looked on with particular shock, especially when they saw Toru Suzuki standing next to Arisu Sakayanagi with shopping bags in his arms.

"Excuse me, are you two the only ones out together?" Ichinose Honami asked tactfully, a strange glint in her eyes. She had run into Horikita Suzune before, and now she had encountered Sakayanagi Arisu.

Sakayanagi Arisu should also know Ichinose Honami. Instead of immediately clarifying the misunderstanding, she smiled and looked at Suzuki Toru.

"Hey, Suzuki-kun, are we on a date right now?"

In fact, her wicked sense of humor is not much different from Suzuki Toru's; she's a cunning little princess.

"No," Suzuki Toru denied decisively.

"So that's not it. I thought I could at least make Suzuki-kun a little bit interested in me." Sakayanagi Arisu seemed genuinely disappointed, revealing a hint of sadness. "It seems that compared to the women around you, I really can't satisfy you."

Could the woman next to him be referring to Masumi Kamuro?

"What exactly happened?" Netkura Asako stared blankly at Suzuki Toru. Did this guy have someone he was flirting with?

"This is Sakayanagi-san, a friend from our class. For some reason, I'm planning to treat her to a meal today," Suzuki Toru replied casually.

"That answer is really unpleasant, isn't it?" Sakayanagi Arisu suppressed her sadness and gave him a disgruntled look.

"We're planning to get something to eat now, do you want to come along?" Suzuki Toru ignored the girl's protest and offered to Amakura Asako.

However, Netkura Mako pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Haha, we're getting ready to go to the gym. It seems like Asagi-chan has recently become obsessed with fitness."

As she spoke, Honami Ichinose glanced at Toru Suzuki's expression, seemingly hesitant to speak.

Logically, she should be questioning him about whether he cheated on her, but the awkward part is that they are not actually a couple, and she has no control over Suzuki Toru.

No, if they were a real couple, she'd probably be getting ripped off right now.

Moreover, he was so arrogant that he had no idea what was going on; his so-called official girlfriend didn't even know his birthday.

"I'm going to the gym." As if she had suddenly lost interest, Netkura Asako turned and left expressionlessly.

Honami Ichinose looked apologetic and explained to Arisu Sakayanagi, "I'm sorry, Asako-chan isn't in a good mood. We'll have to take our leave for now. Sorry."

She immediately caught up with Utsukura Mako.

Chihiro Shiraha stared at Toru Suzuki for a long time, unable to discern what she was thinking, before slowly catching up with the two.

"Did I affect Suzuki-kun's popularity with women?" Sakayanagi Arisu asked thoughtfully.

"Aren't you afraid people will misunderstand that you're my girlfriend?" Suzuki Toru glanced at her, unable to understand what she was thinking.

I thought Sakayanagi Arisu would distance herself from me, but to my surprise, she smiled and asked in return, "Hehe, am I not good enough to be your girlfriend?"

"Of course I do! Right now I wish I could kneel down and kiss your beautiful feet all I want, then move up and kiss your thighs..."

Before Suzuki Tetsu could finish speaking, Sakayanagi Arisu tapped him with her cane.

"I don't mind you thinking these things, but please don't say them out loud, because it's disgusting."

After warning Suzuki Toru, Sakayanagi Arisu soon led him to a high-end restaurant.

"The lowest-priced set meal here costs 20,000 yuan per person." Suzuki Toru looked at the menu and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Didn't you say you were going to treat me to dinner?" Sakayanagi Arisu said slowly. "Did you spend millions of personal points in just one month?"

Yes, it cost two million.

Suzuki Tetsu didn't say those words aloud. He picked out a suitable set meal for two, and then heard her ask with great interest, "What did you do to Masumi yesterday? She's been giving everyone the cold shoulder today. I remember I said I would return it intact, didn't I?"

"She was unhappy because I didn't get to lick her feet."

"Heh, so you're throwing a tantrum at me now?"

"Is there any?"
