Tokyo: I'm bound to the evil women!

Philosophy Society.

Satsuki Ichinomiya was still in the same spot, this time with her head down, looking down at the neatly arranged shogi board in front of her, as the door to the philosophy club was opened.

Her gaze lingered on Chiya Misaki for a moment, then swept over Fujiwara Matsu, before quickly returning to the shogi pieces in front of her.

"Let's begin."

Fujiwara Matsu's arrival did not elicit any unusual reaction from her; it was as if she had known all along, and she remained completely unfazed.

Chiya Mio sat down opposite her, while Fujiwara Matsu stood beside her watching.

More than anything, it was a scrutinizing look as it judged the actions and expressions of the two people.

The two players' moves were almost identical, except that Ichinomiya Satsuki's reaction time was faster.

She could better anticipate Chiya Mio's reaction and gradually crushed the opponent's remaining strength.

It's clear that at the beginning, the two were evenly matched, but later on, Chiya Mio was somewhat outmatched.

With the last piece placed, Chiya Mio lost. Fujiwara Matsu was not surprised at all, and Chiya Mio did not feel anything was wrong either.

You lost.

Chiya Mio gave a knowing look and shook her head slightly:

"You still have the same strong learning ability as always."

"Take your things with you."

Satsuki Ichinomiya gestured for Mio Chiya to take the shogi board away, as it was no longer of any use to her.

Chiya Mio's expression was calm, but when she looked up and prepared to pack her things, she noticed that Fujiwara Matsu was still there.

She was so focused that she forgot Fujiwara Matsu was still watching.

The relief and calm on her face crumbled in an instant, replaced by the embarrassment of being caught red-handed, followed by suppressed anger. She subconsciously gripped the corner of the table beside her.

Staring at Fujiwara Matsu, and noticing Ichinomiya Satsuki, her expression gradually calmed down: "Matsu, let's go."

At that moment, Ichinomiya Satsuki's voice suddenly rang out:

"You can come here anytime; I'll always be here."

These words seemed to be addressed to Chiya Mio, but Fujiwara Matsu interpreted them with a different meaning.

Chiya Mio and her relationship had clearly reached the point where they could meet at any time, but this was obviously a tacit understanding between them. Given Ichinomiya's personality, she wouldn't say anything unnecessary.

So, was this a statement he made to himself?

However, she had previously specified that the meeting would take place at a shrine on weekends. If she could meet with him anytime, she wouldn't have needed to make such a request.

She guessed that I wanted to rebel, but was certain that I wouldn't be able to come outside of weekends.

Although he had guesses, he couldn't voice his doubts. With Chiya Mio present, his communication with Ichinomiya Satsuki was blocked. Chiya Mio put away the shogi and turned to leave.

He followed Chiya Mio out of the philosophy club, and the girl remained silent for a while after leaving the club.

Like the suppressed calm before a volcanic eruption, Fujiwara Matsu knew very well that Chiya Mio was not feeling well at this moment. Even if she didn't show it on a normal day, her pride must be extremely strong.

It's just that I've gotten used to facing Satsuki Ichinomiya's failures, which is why I was so smug a few days ago, and why I didn't react much when I failed.

But this time, because of Fujiwara Matsu's presence, the failure that could have been accepted was magnified and became unacceptable.

Or rather, what she couldn't accept was the shattering of the mask and the sense of loss of control that came with being broken in front of Fujiwara Matsu.

"Bang!"

The sound of a shogi board being slammed to the ground rang out. Chiya Mio turned her head and reached out to grab Fujiwara Matsu's tie.

"Fujiwara Matsu, you, give it to me..."

She stopped mid-sentence, unable to utter a sound. The thing she hated now did not come from Fujiwara Matsu, and her anger towards him was completely unreasonable.

She was aware of this herself, so after her initial anger subsided, she realized her loss of composure and calmed down.

Chiya Mio lowered her head, and from Fujiwara Matsu's perspective, her chest could be clearly seen rising and falling as she tried to calm herself down.

He reached out and grasped Chiya Mio's hand:

"It's fine,……"

Normal attempts to appease her were of little use to Chiya Mio in her current state. He had wanted to use the name she had been asking for and longing for, but he still couldn't bring himself to say it.

Therefore, he chose a compromise title.

"Miss, it's alright, it doesn't mean anything."

"I will always be here."

He felt that anything he said at this moment would sound like a provocation, so he simply kept quiet.

Chiya Mio raised her head and looked at Fujiwara Matsu, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Can't you say something nicer at a time like this?"

"At this moment, anything I say would sound like a provocation, wouldn't it?"

The gloomy expression on her face shattered, and she broke into a smile.

"You do have a good sense of self-awareness."

"Hey, Fujiwara no Matsu?"

"Yes, I'm here."

Under Fujiwara Matsu's gaze, Chiya Mio did not hesitate at all. She grabbed his tie, rejected his resistance, and bit Fujiwara Matsu's lips.

It wasn't quite like a kiss; biting would be a more accurate description. Fujiwara Matsu's lips were bitten and bled. He tried to push her away several times in pain, but Chiya Mio held on tightly and wouldn't let go.

"Are you a dog? Why do you bite?"

Fujiwara Matsu felt no pleasure from the kiss, only the discomfort of being bitten; his lips were still bleeding, so it would be strange if he felt any better.

"This is my mark, Fujiwara Matsu, you are mine."

"By the way, you did a great job this time, this is a reward, so be sure to express your gratitude."

"Only a fool would want that kind of reward."

[The Controller: You have successfully captured Fujiwara Matsu's heart]

This assessment... I find it somewhat ironic.

Given the current situation, it would be more accurate to say that Fujiwara Matsu has a good grasp of Chiya Mio's temperament.

[Reward received: 500 system points]

The unexpected windfall brought Fujiwara Matsu much closer to his goal. He was eager to see what the basic permission to modify attributes would be used for.

"What are you still standing there for? Let's go back to the classroom."

"You go back first, I..."

"What are you going to do?"

Chiya Misaki looked up at him and grabbed his wrist. Her attitude was clear: you have to come with me, whether you have a legitimate reason or not.

Fujiwara Matsu struggled for a moment, but it was no use.

"Let go, I can walk by myself!"

But upon hearing this, Chiya Mio gripped her hand even tighter.

…………

"Hey guys, haven't you learned your lesson yet? You're going to try again?"

The three guys who blocked Fujiwara Matsu this morning were still bruised, but now they were blocking Fujiwara Matsu's way again.

"This time, without that guy around, you'll learn your lesson!"

"Can't I call her over?"

"We'll have to make the first move first!"

This time, the other side didn't delay, clearly understanding that villains die from talking too much. However, Fujiwara Matsu couldn't hold back, and their words were slurred.

Faced with the outstretched fist, Fujiwara Matsu knew that talking was useless. So, he reached out and grabbed the other man's fist, and naturally, seizing the opportunity, he punched him.

He's not useless; the extra training he received wasn't for nothing. It's just that Shiratori Saki arrived too quickly and at the right time.

Although his physical abilities are no different from those of an average person, and he can't compare to Shiratori Saki, he can still easily defeat a few other ordinary people.

However, since there were three of them, Fujiwara Matsu was not immune to getting injured as well.

At the cost of two bruises on his face, he knocked down two people and was dealing with the last one when Chiya Mio arrived.

"Where are you...?"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Fujiwara Matsumasa punch the other person, landing squarely on her.

"Mizakura-san, what did you say?"

"No, I'm fine. Are you hurt?"

A hint of interest flickered in her eyes, as if she were somewhat surprised by Fujiwara Matsu's performance.

Dominance level: 23% - 22% - 24%

"It's not a big problem."

After dealing with the other party, Fujiwara Matsu walked to Chiya Mio's side.

"you……"

She stopped mid-sentence, raised an eyebrow at Fujiwara Matsu with a meaningful look, and then changed the subject, seemingly unrelated.

"Matsu, do you know shogi?"

"Won't."

Did she realize something?
