My love index is at its maximum.

As if she had given up on the world, Yui Kikawa slung her backpack over her shoulder, pulled her suitcase, left the door, and headed towards Tokyo Station.

"Hey, Xiaowei, wait a minute, we haven't figured it out yet..."

"Forget it, Sachiko, just ignore her."

"Aren't you in a hurry?"

“I was all prepared,” Kurisu watched her daughter’s departing figure, a beautiful smile playing on her lips. “She’s just a fallen saintess, after all. I’ve already secretly slipped the cosplay props into her backpack. I’ll let Tsukasa know later.”

"Chestnut certainly has more ideas than I do."

"You should learn from me, and I guarantee that your Tazaki-kun will be completely infatuated with you."

"Looking forward to it." Sachiko Tono held her breath for a moment.

Then she smiled softly, picked up the water glass on the table, and brought it to her lips. Suddenly, she remembered that she was using the silent contraption that Tsukasa Tazaki had given her…

There are only two of us now, so we can start!

He reached into his pocket and pressed the switch.

In that instant, the shop manager's body trembled slightly.

Those clear eyes instantly became misty, and their gaze became alluring.

……

It was a clear, sunny morning in early November.

Every corner of Tokyo is filled with the warm autumn sunshine. The ginkgo trees along the sidewalks shimmer dazzlingly in the sunlight, and the sunlight filtering through the sparse leaves creates beautiful patches of light on the asphalt pavement.

Yui Kikawa pulled her suitcase as she walked toward Tokyo Station.

I would glance at the buildings and trees along the roadside from time to time, and then at the vehicles that flashed by.

Regarding this school trip...

To be honest, Yui Kawakawa herself is also quite looking forward to it.

She would have been even happier if she hadn't participated with a bunch of other students. But unfortunately, since she wanted to be a perfect, impeccable girls' high school teacher, participating in group activities was an essential part of the job.

As for Tsukasa Tazaki...

I have no interest in traveling with him!

The autumn wind blew through the gaps in the office building, ruffling her golden hair. Bright sunlight filtered through the sparse leaves, quietly falling on Yui Kikawa's fair and delicate face.

The weather is so nice.

She thought to herself, "This is a day I should enjoy to the fullest."

Upon arriving at Tokyo Station, Yui Kikawa went directly through the entrance gates to the platform where they were to meet.

For this school trip, all first-year students, from Class A to Class F, chose Kyoto without exception. The students from these classes will gather at Tokyo Station and take the Shinkansen to Kyoto.

Tokyo Station was packed with travelers in the morning, filled with noisy conversations and announcements.

Everywhere she went, people around her would frequently cast their gazes at her. Qichuan Yui didn't like these looks, but she couldn't say she hated them either. She was already used to it, and she couldn't just run up to someone and ask them, "What are you looking at?" right?

Upon arriving at the platform, the students of Class A, Grade 1, gathered together, spontaneously forming small groups to chat and laugh.

Kikawa Yui turned her head to look around and, unsurprisingly, spotted that familiar face on the outskirts of a crowd.

"Good morning, Kuriyama-san." She walked over and greeted him.

"Good morning," Kuriyama Sakura replied indifferently.

Then, the two top beauties, seemingly speechless, stared at each other in silence, their gazes somewhat like a confrontation, but not quite.

"Class F, assemble here!"

A sound from not far away broke the silence, and the two turned to look at the same time.

The students in Class F, who had been scattered around, instantly gathered together and formed a neat line upon hearing the command. Speaking in front of them was the ever-radiant and popular female teacher.

Kikawa Yui pursed her lips slightly, seemingly having a competitive thought, her eyes fixed firmly on Hoshino Hanami.

Her fair, oval face appears delicate and refined from the front; from the side, it exudes an air of untamed pride.

Her long, black hair wasn't styled in a bun, but it was neatly combed.

She has a captivating figure, her makeup is just right, and her outfit is impeccable.

Both the suit jacket and the white cardigan shirt underneath are high-end, meticulously handcrafted pieces, paired with black pantyhose and black strappy stiletto heels.

This sophisticated and mature outfit gives the first impression of a beautiful and shrewd career woman.

"Stop looking, we can't compare for now." Kuriyama Sakura sighed, rubbing her forehead, as if she deeply agreed. "She has everything we have, and she has things we don't. Let's compare again in ten years."

"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Yui Kichikawa turned her head in confusion.

"I can see right through your little schemes."

"That's quite a boast."

“That’s talent.” Kuriyama Sakura smiled dismissively, just about to say something sarcastic to the blonde girl, when Hoshino Hanami dismissed her students and walked over to her, hugging her small body tightly.

"Sakura, hurry up and give it to your sister."

"Hana-nee..." Kuriyama Sakura's face flushed instantly, and her expression became awkward.

Yui Kichikawa silently took a step back.

She often felt out of place with Tsukasa Tazaki because she wasn't twisted enough, but now she needed to expand that feeling to include Tsukasa Tazaki and everyone around him.

"Hana-nee, you need to be more serious..." Kuriyama Sakura wailed in despair, broke free from Hoshino Hanami's embrace, opened her backpack, and took out a pair of cat ear headbands and a catgirl transformation device, handing them to her.

Hoshino Hanami smiled and said, "Thank you~ Sakura is the best. Remember to come to my house on the last day, I'll make you something delicious."

"What's that?" Yui Kichikawa stared curiously at the remote-like object in her hand.

"This one?"

Hoshino Hanami's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a ferocious grin: "A tool to punish that scumbag! I'll make him know what it means to be in unbearable pain!"

"...?"

Yui Kawakawa silently took another step back.

Although it was unclear what it was, judging from the woman's clenched teeth expression, Tazaki Tsukasa was likely to suffer this time.

Should we remind him?

Although that person was extremely shameless, arrogant, lecherous, and perverted... overall, he was still a very attractive and high-quality male individual.

Ok.

Let's help him this once.

Yui Kawakawa turned her back and took out her phone, intending to send a message to Tsukasa Tazaki.

A message suddenly popped up on the Line interface.

[Ninomiya: @Kuriyama @Sikawa, Kiki said that after we arrive in Kyoto, he hopes you two won't bother him.]

?

His fist hardened instantly!

Using my private jet to pick up my mistress is one thing, but letting her provoke me like this is another?

Kikawa Yui turned around, her face turning green, and faced Hoshino Hanami with a serious expression: "Hoshino-sensei, please intensify the persecution!"

"You're welcome to join in the fun," Hoshino Hanami said with a slight smile, extending a friendly invitation.

Roll call was conducted by class to confirm the number of students. After that, each class began to enter their assigned carriage.

The Shinkansen seating arrangement has five seats in each row, and these five seats are further divided into three on one side and two on the other, separated by an aisle. It was quite a coincidence that Yui Kuriyama and Sakura Kuriyama were assigned to a two-seater.

Neither of them spoke.

One person rested their elbow on the armrest, propped their cheek in their hand, and started to sleep. Another person had just sat down and opened their backpack to take out their laptop when their hand touched something strange—a piece of fabric.

I looked down inside.

A piece of pure white gauze fabric, so thin it was translucent, making it almost a semi-revealing garment to wear. Upon closer inspection, there was also a large bundle of red rope, a pair of delicate silver high heels, and a whip…

It's hard to imagine what it would be like to use all four of these things at the same time.

Qichuan Wei zipped up her backpack and pulled out her phone to dial her mother's number.

The other party hung up immediately.

Shortly after, I received a text message from my mother.

Surprised!

[Mom has been so worried about Xiaowei's marriage! You must seize this opportunity, okay? Don't waste all of Mom's efforts. Ideally, you should just win over Xiaosi and eliminate any possibility of him becoming your stepfather!]

Qichuan Wei took a deep breath, leaned back in her chair, and fell asleep.

Tired.

I don't want to think about anything.

Ideally, I could wake up and go straight to Kyoto.

……

The Shinkansen departs from Tokyo and arrives in Kyoto in about two hours.

Tazaki Tsukasa, who arrived earlier, was waiting at the entrance of Kyoto Station to welcome Kitagawa students.

The boy, basking in the warm sunlight of late autumn, had no idea what kind of hellish experience awaited him today.

Chapter 268 Hoshino Hanami's punishment was truly... quite interesting.

When the Shinkansen train stops at Kyoto Station, the doors of all the carriages open simultaneously.

Students from each class picked up their luggage and got off the train, lining up on the platform. The area was crowded with people and filled with a noisy atmosphere.

"After exiting the platform, you must stay close to the group and not leave the group without the teacher's permission..." Hoshino Hanami stood in front of the students and once again reminded them to follow the instructions.

Looking around, the other classes were in the same situation.

"Our first stop is Kiyomizu-dera Temple. After that, we'll return to our hotel for lunch, and then in the afternoon..."
