I, the mastermind behind the scenes at Soubu High, refuse to be caught in a bloodbath.

Because of the heat, her black stockings became increasingly see-through starting in mid-May, giving Ji Xiaolu an urge to tear them open, create several large holes, and then do something to her pitiful appearance.

"That kind of statement is strange no matter how you look at it..."

"And this time it's actually tutoring Touma again. Touma's grades... tsk tsk tsk."

Kasumigaoka adjusted her headband slightly, picked up Himekoji's arm, and walked towards the car. Her ample breasts swayed back and forth, rippled across his arm like endless waves.

"By the way, why did Inspiration-kun ask me to tutor Touma-kun as well?"

"I can't disobey my mother's orders... and you're the top student in the third grade, right?"

"Auntie's orders—? Hmph..." Kasumigaoka and Himekoji got into the car one after the other, crossed their legs, and tapped a finger on the corner of their lips thoughtfully, smiling, "Then it seems they're not looking for an ally, but an enemy. How about this..."

"Don't say those strange things."

Ji Xiaolu gently tapped her head. Miss Lingzi observed their movements through the rearview mirror, constantly trying to signal something to Ji Xiaolu with her eyes. However, Ji Xiaolu responded with an eye roll. Lingzi covered her mouth and chuckled, taking her hands off the steering wheel and making a heart shape with her hands towards Ji Xiaolu, leaving Ji Xiaolu completely astonished. She said, "Drive carefully!"

They arrived at Kazusa's house in no time. As usual, Reiko went shopping at a nearby department store. Since the study session would take a long time anyway, Himekoji and Kasumigaoka stood side by side after getting off the bus and rang the doorbell of Kazusa's house.

One knock, two knocks... two minutes later, no one opened the door.

There wasn't even a response.

I pressed the button again, but two minutes later no one opened the door.

"Could she have gone out?" Kasumigaoka chuckled mischievously. "Could this actually be a trick by Inspiration-kun to get me to come out? Actually, no need. Just call me and I'll drop everything and rush out like a lovestruck woman, whether it's hell or a love hotel! Ah, but I need to put on makeup first..."

"Um, the study session is real, and putting aside the love hotel, what's with that hell over there?! I don't want to go to hell!"

"Isn't a battleground, in a sense, hell itself?"

"Ahem—, I'll call her," Himeko quickly tried to change the subject. She called Kazusa four times, but no one answered. On the fifth call, her phone was switched off. Under the blazing sun, Himeko's back was already damp with sweat as she held up her parasol. The humid air near the sea made it hard to tell whether the sweat on her back was moisture or sweat. The scorching air felt like a steamer, threatening to make her faint.

"There's nothing we can do. Since she won't open the door, we'll just have to use the key to open it and go in."

Himekoji took out the spare key to Kazusa's house that her mother had given her when she left home from her schoolbag.

"Eh—, Inspiration-kun even has a spare key to Touma's house..."

"My mom put it on and then just forced it on me. Come to think of it, I really didn't expect her to just refuse to open the door... Does she hate studying that much?"

"Well, it's the same principle as forcing a girl to date someone she doesn't like."

"Let's not talk about that, let's go in first."

First, open the outer wall gate, then open the room door. Obviously, Kazusa did not expect Himekoji to open the door directly and therefore did not lock it. After hearing the sound of the door, Kazusa, who was wearing a simple short-sleeved shirt and denim shorts, rushed out of the room and almost tripped at the corner.

"Himekoji, don't you know that when a homeowner doesn't answer the doorbell or the phone, it's a way of refusing visitors?"

Kazusa stood a little further back in the entryway with her arms crossed, reluctantly tossing two pairs of slippers to him and Kasumigaoka.

"If Touma-kun doesn't open the door and Haruto-kun doesn't have the key, then I'm going to take Haruto-kun to a place you'll never find again."

Kasumigaoka changed into slippers, gave Himekoji a knowing look, and smiled mischievously.

"Hmph, who cares? Take it wherever you want, it's his leg, I didn't lock it up." Kazusa turned and walked away, pointing towards the study and saying, "Come here."

If it weren't for Mrs. Shibata, who was entrusted by Yoko, occasionally coming to Kazusa's house to clean, Kazusa, who almost never reads books except for sheet music, would definitely have left a thick layer of dust in her study. However, it seems that Mrs. Shibata hasn't come for a while, and the room is filled with the feeling of a dusty treasure trove being opened.

Kazusa put two study desks and an office desk together. The office desk was covered with her books, all of which were open. Scrap paper and ballpoint pens were scattered haphazardly. The floor had been haphazardly cleaned. Overall, she successfully created the impression that she was "studying hard." However, leaving all her textbooks and homework open was a sign of a poor student, so Kazusa did a really good job.

"What... I at least prepared, even though I really didn't want to touch these things..."

Seeing that Himekoji and Kasumigaoka both looked a little stunned, Kazusa explained apologetically.

"But before we start learning, I'd like to reintroduce myself. Our last meeting... was really quite awkward."

"No need. You, Kasumigaoka Utaha, are a big celebrity at our school. As for me, you only need to know that my name is Touma Kazusa."

"Oh dear, is this how you treat someone who helps you with your studies? Is it arrogance, or...?"

"You can leave anytime if you don't like it. Himekoji can still help me review. Anyway, I don't know much about the material from the first year of high school to the third year. It won't hurt to learn the second year material."

Kazusa and Kasumigaoka were at loggerheads, so Himekoji had to step in to smooth things over. Kazusa angrily sat down at the desk between Himekoji and Kasumigaoka, and the atmosphere became unusually awkward.

Chapter 095 Studying Biology, [Kasumigaoka Utaha] Begins Asking Questions

"Aunt Daphne is just wasting her time. My grades are already beyond saving, and by the way, I don't intend to save them anyway... I won't be relying on them in the future."

Kazusa lowered her head and slumped onto the desk after only ten minutes of studying. Himekoji gently tapped her head with her biology book, and Kazusa covered her head with her hands and complained, "No, I don't want to study."

"Touma-kun is so cute..."

"If this is what you call cute, then Kasumigaoka, you are the cutest girl in the world."

"Is that so? If that's the case, that's good. By the way, Haruto-kun, could you give me that biology book?" Kasumigaoka took Kazusa's biology book from Himekoji, casually flipped to a page, and asked, "Touma-kun, which of the following substances is NOT a component of the human internal environment? A. Calcium ions, B. Respiratory enzymes, C. Glucose, D. Plasma proteins."

"I chose E...because I don't know any of them."

Kazusa rested her chin on her hand, looked up, and said listlessly.

“The correct answer is B,” Kasumigaoka said good-naturedly, squinting her eyes. “If you spent even a tenth of the energy you put into memorizing sheet music on studying, this question would be the simplest one.”

"Then I will neither remember the sheet music nor the knowledge, and will always be a half-baked person."

"Alright, Haruto-kun, may I ask which part of my body is the Bartholin's gland? Please point it out to me in detail."

Kasumigaoka straightened up and looked Himekoji straight in the eyes with a serious expression.

"...Shiyu, this question is way beyond the scope of the curriculum! The question you asked me is on a completely different level from the question you asked Kazusa! It's way beyond the curriculum!"

Himekoji had a blank expression, while Kazusa looked around at the two of them in confusion. Finally, she nudged Himekoji with her elbow and said disdainfully, "Hey, Himekoji, don't you consider yourself a genius? How come you don't even know this much? It's understandable that I don't know, since I've never attended class properly."

"So... Shiyu, stop messing around, okay?" Himekoji beckoned to Kazusa with his finger. Kazusa leaned closer to him, full of doubt. Himekoji whispered in her ear, "This is a very sensitive gland... Do you understand now?"

"What nonsense! What do you mean by 'sensitive glands'? Mammary glands?" Kazusa was somewhat annoyed and glared at Himekoji, saying, "You're making a fuss over nothing."

"So Touma really doesn't know anything, doesn't even know where girls find pleasure? How pathetic... or should I say innocent? Could it be that Haruto-kun likes this type? Tsk tsk, it seems I've been on the wrong track all along?"

“What are you talking about? I don’t understand a word you’re saying,” Kazusa said, pointing to the ground with a straight face. “The place that makes me happiest is the basement. I feel most comfortable there when I’m playing my instruments, and I feel very happy listening to the beautiful sounds the children make. As for what you’re talking about now, Bartholin’s glands and who they like and dislike, forgive me, but I don’t understand it at all!”

"Okay... alright, you're so innocent it's unbelievable, Touma-san."

Kasumigaoka looked surprised and stammered. She was genuinely shocked by Kazusa. She had initially thought that Kazusa was pretending not to know and was joking with her to tease Himekoji.

"That's enough of a topic, Himekoji. How do you do this math problem?"

Kazusa presented Himekoji with a solid geometry problem. It's understandable that girls are a little weak in spatial reasoning. Just as Himekoji was about to speak, Kasumigaoka, resting her chin on her hand, said, "Eh—, Touma-kun asked Haruto-kun to explain a third-grade math problem to you. This is probably a difficult task for Haruto-kun. Do you hate me that much?"

"Who you dislike or like, it doesn't matter. I don't have any prejudice against you, don't be so self-centered." Kazusa gritted her teeth and said, "We were strangers to begin with, weren't we? If Aunt Daphne hadn't said..."

"Alright, Kazusa, look at the picture. This problem requires you to draw auxiliary lines first, perpendicular to..."

Ji Xiaolu quickly interrupted, saying, "Don't let a nice study session turn into an argument session, that would be really bad."

After solving a problem, Kazusa nodded thoughtfully and said, "Himekoji, why is it that I can understand what you're saying, but when the teacher explains it, I just get confused and almost fall asleep while listening?"

"I wish Haruto-kun were Touma-san's math teacher~"

"Then I'd have to endure this guy's criticism every day, so this idea must be rejected!"

Kazusa crossed her arms, stretched her neck, and hummed smugly.

"By the way, Shiyu, there's something I've been wanting to ask you but never had a chance..."

"I should have no secrets from you, Haruto-kun. Ah, is it because you want to know the depth of my ○ hole this time? I'm so sorry, I haven't measured it before. I'll call you after I measure it."

Kasumigaoka crossed her legs, casually playing with a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing a calm and indifferent expression. Upon hearing these words, Kazusa blushed at a visible speed. She covered half of her face with her book, glanced at Himekoji, then at Kasumigaoka, and coughed as she said, "So... so this is what you usually do."

"Don't let her mislead you, Kazusa! Utaha often says some terrifyingly powerful things! Just don't engage with her!"

"How rude of you, Haruto-kun! Last time you listened to me with such excitement..."

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! STOP!"

Himeko quickly made a pause gesture, and even stood up excitedly. Ahhhh, I told my mom a long time ago that bringing Kasumigaoka to the study session was a serious mistake, but my mom insisted on doing it, and Himeko was helpless!

"By the way, Kasumigaoka, I also have something to ask you."

Isn't it cunning to expect answers from others without ever replying to their questions?

“I’m only responsible for asking questions; whether you answer or not is up to you,” Kazusa said with a cold laugh. “That time before… when you were having a hysterical breakdown in front of the hotel, who was that boy who chased after you and called out to you? What happened to him in the end?”

"It's rare to see you paying attention to other people's affairs, Kazusa."

"Shut up, why are you talking so much?"

Kazusa glared fiercely at Himekoji.

PS: Seventh update.

Chapter 096 Unexpectedly, [Kasumigaoka Utaha] is so concerned about the situation.

"Hey—, Touma-san, are you interested in that boy? If you are, I can introduce him to you."

"I'm not interested, and I don't need an introduction. Besides, matters of the heart..."

She immediately shut her mouth again, leaving everyone wondering what she was going to say. She only glanced at Ji Xiaolu, who was studying at her desk, before looking away.

“Is that so…yeah,” Kasumigaoka said, shifting her legs and gently brushing her hair against the exposed flesh of her chest. “That guy’s name is Aki Tomoya. You may not have noticed his name, Touma-kun, but you must know about the two big commotions he caused. That guy…is one of the most famous people in our school.”

"A big commotion? Come to think of it, someone put some filthy stuff in a girl's bag a while ago. I can't stand it... If I were treated like that, I'd rather drop out of school."

"Actually, Kazusa, you just don't want to go to school anymore, right?"

"Well, if that situation really comes up, I would definitely drop out of school. It would be great if Aki Tomoya could help me out."

“I will warn him never to do such a thing or I will fire him.”

"Tch, the student council president is abusing his power!"

"It is precisely because I am the student council president that I must protect the rights and interests of the students."

Ji Xiaolu puffed out her chest and raised her head, speaking in a grand and dignified manner.

"So, what happened to that famous person named Aki Tomoya after that?"
