Unable to pay off my debts, I had no choice but to become a Kamen Rider.

My advice is not to do it on the first date; wait until the third or fourth date.

But if you two hit it off, and things really spark, then go for it! Don't be a coward.

Remember to bring a condom and a change of clothes.

Asano Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, momentarily stunned, as he looked at the message from Duanmu Jun.

What on earth are you talking about?

However, after staring at the "read" message, Asano Yu finally decided to reply:

Thank you for your advice, Senior Duanmu.

Then Asano Yu looked again at the last unfinished discounted bento box on the table and reached out to grab it.

This is a wagashi (Japanese sweet), sprinkled with sesame powder, then a soft, jelly-like ball is thrown in and rolled around, and finally eaten with the included fork.

It tastes just like Want Want's Rock 'n' Roll Jelly, the one with the catchy "GG" vibe.

It's just so cloyingly sweet!

Japanese food is characterized by extreme flavors. For example, the okonomiyaki I ate on the street at night was so sweet it almost made Asano Yuuki reincarnate.

There was only cabbage and flour paste; there wasn't even any minced meat.

However, this lump of green rock-and-roll jelly in front of me is actually quite delicious, because it's icy cold.

After finishing the rock-and-roll jelly, Asano Yu glanced again at Hayami Mitsuki's chat interface, which she had read but not replied to.

Maybe they're very busy. In that case, I guess I'll just have to figure it out myself.

Asano Yu gave up on the idea of ​​finding outside help and instead took out her homework to work on the group assignment.

He really wanted to try for a scholarship, as he had inherited the debts of this body, but also the rare combination of good grades and learning ability.

Therefore, he wanted to keep going and try to get a scholarship, which would also help ease the debt burden.

Although Hayami Mitsuki and Kirishima Chinatsu are very generous with money, it doesn't mean they will continue to do so in the future, so we should still rely on ourselves.

As Asano Yu studied, she lost track of time until a phone call came in from Kirishima Chinatsu—

"Mr. Asano, are you very busy?"

Chinatsu Kirishima's voice was still sweet, but there was a hint of anger in it.

It sounds like she's complaining about Asano Yu.

"Yes, I am learning."

Asano Yu didn't hide what he had just done, after all, he really was studying.

Oh, and in the middle of it, I even went out and beat up a weirdo.

Why haven't you replied after I've read your message?

"what!"

Yu Asano then remembered that the reason she asked Hayato Duanmu and Mitsuki Hayami about their "date" was because she received a message from Chinatsu Kirishima.

He said he would pick her up from school tomorrow afternoon and have an after-school date.

As for the reason, she said she would explain it in person.

Therefore, Asano Yu didn't ask too many questions, but only inquired about Hayami Mitsuki and Duanmu Jun because of the sudden invitation.

Because one person reads your message but doesn't reply, and the other gives you bad advice, Asano Yu simply chooses to study.

Therefore, I forgot to reply to Kirishima Chinatsu's message.

"Remember now? You haven't replied to my messages for two hours!"

"I'm sorry," Asano Yu said apologetically, "because Ms. Hayami didn't reply to my message."

"What's your relationship with Hayami-neechan?"

On the other end of the phone, Kirishima Chinatsu was wearing a one-piece dinosaur pajama set, with green and yellow stripes covering her body, and her shriveled tail hanging limply to one side.

She was curled up on the soft bed, which was three meters long and wide, with a body-length pillow between her legs.

The phone fell to the side of her face, and Asano Yu's voice drifted out from the phone, tickling her nerves again and again.

Why mention Hayami Mitsuki?

Kirishima Chinatsu was also very puzzled, as she could only find some very simple answers on Google, such as "watching a movie", "eating", "aquarium" and "booking a hotel".

She was no stranger to this, because most school-themed comics inevitably depict a hot girl character burdened with various rumors and scandals—

Commonly known as a "good girl".

So Kirishima Chinatsu does know how to go on a date, but the problem is that her knowledge comes from manga, which is the two-dimensional world, and does not represent the three-dimensional world.

That's why I thought of asking Hayami Mitsuki.

Hayami Mitsuki was the only human she trusted, and the one who had resolved all her confusions so far, so she went to see him as usual, but what was the result?

Even Hayami Mitsuki has things she doesn't understand.

"I asked her how she managed to date a pretty girl, but she didn't answer me."

"Me too."

Kirishima Chinatsu was surprised that Asano Yu had done the same thing as her, so she answered immediately.

"Then a senior colleague suggested a route involving movies, aquariums, and arcades, but I felt it wasn't really suitable for us."

Asano Yu replied truthfully.

I think so too.

The voice on the other end of the phone was still soft and sweet, with a hint of wanting to complain but turning into a coquettish tone, so Asano Yu found it very pleasant to listen to.

"Ultimately, why did we become boyfriend and girlfriend? Is there some unspeakable reason?"

Asano Yu forgot to ask in the afternoon, but now he finally remembered—the shock of 300,000 yen in the afternoon was so great that he still didn't dare to open his wallet.

He was afraid that the money inside was like a precious pearl in a dragon palace, and that once it was opened, it would disappear, and he would go from a college student with 500,000 yuan in savings to a college student with more than 5 million yuan in debt.

"Ah, sorry, it was my oversight," Kirishima Chinatsu ruffled her fluffy hair. "Actually, there's one girl in the lucky four-leaf clover who I'm quite close to."

"Then why are you still being bullied?"

"Yeah, when I transferred to Aoyama, I didn't know anyone. She was the one who talked to me first. I didn't even know she was one of the four clover clovers."

The girl's voice carried a hint of helplessness and regret.

"She quickly became close to me, and I also thought she was a good classmate. But soon, the four of them started frequently asking me to go out, and even blocked me from going to tutoring classes."

"Of course I refused, because I wasn't really familiar with them, and they told me to wait and see."

Upon hearing this, Asano Yu wanted to interrupt her because he felt it didn't make sense.

But then I thought about it again. The four people from Lucky Clover were a group of people who would assume that someone was secretly filming them just because they saw a camera. So even if it didn't make sense, it could still be explained.

However, he never expected there would be more to come:

"Later I learned that all four of them had top grades in the school, and they were the only four students recommended to Aoyama Gakuin University. My grades were better than all four of them..."

Just how good are your grades?

"You got perfect scores in all subjects last time!"

"That's good."

"The four of them often do this. If someone's grades are better than theirs, they will try to drag that person down in various ways."

Is this something I can solve?

Should we call the Education Bureau?

"Because they're the school's idols, they have a lot of influence, and nobody believes what you say, right?"

Asano Yu immediately guessed it, and following up on the conversation, Kirishima Chinatsu confirmed it, and then continued:

"Then the bullying started. They started spreading rumors about me, saying that I had a messy private life. They started putting thumbtacks in my shoes, and even added something to my lunchbox. Last time, they even had someone ambush me during the monthly exam to prevent me from taking it..."

As she spoke about these things, Kirishima Chinatsu's speech gradually quickened, and it was clear that she was not at peace with herself.

Then she began to talk about her various experiences at school, how she was neglected and misunderstood by teachers and classmates, and how she couldn't even get answers when she went to the office to ask questions.

Even worse, people would smash her windows with stones at night while she was sleeping, all to prevent her from continuing her studies and ultimately force her to give up her internal referral qualification.

She said the entire school was under the control of the Clovers, and some of the teachers and students who resisted them transferred schools, some studied at home, and some even disappeared without a trace.

The entire Independent Aoyama High School is like a breeding ground for lucky four-leaf clovers. Only those who are obedient can survive unscathed. Anyone who rebels or tries to step on top of the four of them will be punished.

Furthermore, thanks to their status as school idols, they have a lot of influence, and since they only act outside of school and don't do anything that would give others leverage, naturally no one can punish them.

When questioned by the school, they could only say, "We just wanted to get along with Kirishima," without providing any other evidence.

"But you still haven't said why you want me to be your fake boyfriend?"

"Well……"

The girl's voice sounded hesitant; after much deliberation, she finally answered:

"Because I told him I have a very possessive boyfriend, and he would help me sort everything out..."
