The comments section all think I'm a really good person.

She met Kitagawa Yuko's mischievous gaze, then gave her a polite, faint smile: "Yes."

She obediently stepped forward and came to the center of the room. Looking at Kitagawa Yuko, who was stretching her shoulders and wrists and clearly wanted to use this opportunity to slap her in the face, she sighed softly in her heart.

If she's bored, she can ask someone to find her something to do instead of coming to the college to amuse herself.

In fact, Kita Kirihara, who is rather vengeful, has already been thinking about how to make Kitagaki Yuko suffer for at least three months.

Let Nanoha accidentally fire a magic cannon at this guy's face during the mission.

Kita Kirihara narrowed his eyes slightly.

“I asked Mr. Matsu before I came here, and he said you are the strongest in your class… the top student, right?” Kitagawa Yuko suddenly brought up another topic. She seemed to be chatting with Kitagarihara, her tone filled with nostalgia, and her gaze towards Kitagarihara seemed to be looking at someone else: “When I was in school, I also met someone who looked a lot like you… you look very alike.”

Nonsense, isn't this the same person?

This guy just finds it very interesting that his former senior is still studying and is even his student.

Kita Kirihara looked slightly confused, as if he didn't know how to answer.

In fact, if it weren't for so many people watching, Kita Kirihara would have punched Kitagawa Yuko in the face, who looked like a senior.

In the past, when sparring, Kita Kirihara could cheat by using 50% of the abilities of a physical enhancer, but not now. The one registered on the high school list is not "Perfect Role-Playing," but the non-aggressive "Mind Purification."

Of course, you can't become someone else in front of everyone.

As expected, after a brief exchange, Kita Kirihara was thrown to the ground by Kitagawa Yuko with a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw, leaving him almost completely disoriented.

"Hmm." Kita Kirihara let out a short, muffled groan. With her excellent acting skills, she naturally didn't want to be bothered by Kitagawa Yuko at this moment, so she appropriately showed weakness.

Her white hair was inevitably stained with some dust, and her elbows were scraped, making her look frail and clumsy.

Seeing Kitagawa Yuko's reaction, she was also momentarily taken aback when she realized that Kita Kirihara had been so easily thrown to the ground.

She hadn't expected Kita Kirihara to be so easily defeated.

"...He looks tall and strong, but he's actually much lighter than I expected." Kitagawa Yuko muttered to herself as she reached out to pull Kitagawa Yuko up from the ground.

Kita Kirihara said helplessly, "It's because you're too strong, teacher. I can't keep up with your speed at all."

Inner monologue: I want to get off work as soon as possible.

Kitagawa Yuko was taken aback by her words and stared at Kitagawa Kirihara with an incredulous look.

Is this still the fiercely competitive Kita Kirihara...? Could someone have replaced him?

She finally found an opportunity during the break between classes to ask Kita Kirihara, who had been waiting for her in the corner.

The two were very familiar with the school's layout, so they naturally knew where to talk without being overheard.

The two arrived at the back of the teaching building, in a corner that was always shrouded in shadow and difficult to notice.

[Hmm? I knew Yuko's expression just now was interesting... Do these two know each other?!]

Speaking of which, Yuko and Ahara look a bit alike... and they both come from the three major families.

According to the information, Kita-giri is a branch of Kitagawa.

[So, Ahara and Yuko actually knew each other before?]

No wonder Yuko's expression was so funny when she saw Ahara fall over so easily, hahaha!

What exactly is the relationship between these two people? Are they relatives? Or something else?

I think the acquaintance that Kitagawa Yuko mentioned earlier is actually Ahara. Ahara used to be in this school too, right?

[Huh? So... you're someone who knows about my dark past?]

I've already put my ears to it.

Although the others were distracted, the viewers in the live chat were still watching intently.

In fact, the camera lens never moved.

As soon as Kitagawa Yuko was out of sight of the others, she frowned slightly, looking puzzled: "What's wrong with you right now?"

So useless?

Such doubt was clearly written in the other person's eyes.

"..." Kita Kirihara seemed a little surprised by Kitagawa Yuko's concern. However, she seemed to realize that there was an information gap between herself and Kitagawa Yuko. Pretending not to know that her other self had already contacted Kitagawa Yuko, she quickly picked up the conversation, "As you can see."

She didn't look well.

Kitagawa Yuko also realized that Kitagarihara's current life probably had some inside story that she didn't know about.

Kitagawa Yuko knew that Kitagarihara was more astute than herself, and noticing that he seemed unwilling to elaborate, she didn't press the matter further: "Never mind, I have a lot on my end to attend to, so I can't worry about you. There's been some activity from the clan elders, so be careful."

"There's some noise...?" Kita Kirihara's eyes widened slightly, and he frowned with unease. "Is it coming for me?"

Kitagawa Yuko didn't answer directly, she just blinked.

"Serves you right for making enemies everywhere... You're getting your comeuppance, Miss Genius."

Kita Kirihara's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his heartbeat became somewhat erratic.

She maintained a calm expression, but the audience could see her fists clenching subtly.

After thinking for a moment, Kita Kirihara replied in a low voice, "...I understand."

Upon hearing this, Kitagawa Yuko didn't think much of it. After delivering the message, she waved and left.

Kita Kirihara stood there blankly for a while before looking at his former partner's departing figure and muttering to himself in a voice only he could hear, "...He's changed a lot."

Miss Samoyed looked very uneasy and somewhat bewildered.

Although she had just fooled Kitagawa Yuko on instinct with a rather ambiguous attitude, as she came to her senses, her ominous premonition grew stronger.

Why did Kitagaki Yuuko come here as a quasi-Special Class Hero of the Tower? Why, even though she's become a hero, does she still maintain contact with the three main families? And why is her clan searching for her? She shouldn't even be considered a particularly important person...

A series of questions were made clear to the viewers in the live chat through narration.

She concealed her unease discreetly, but in reality, the feeling of being overtaken by the past had already sent a chill down her spine.

Before she had control over the director's authority, Kita Kirihara and Kitagawa Yuko's communication was conducted behind the scenes. Now, naturally, she cannot reveal the fact that she had already connected with Kitagawa Yuko before.

Furthermore, Kitagawa Yuko is not the character card for Kitagawa Kirihara, and her acting skills are also terrible. If you really agreed with Kitagawa Yuko beforehand to pretend not to know her, it would probably be full of flaws.

Therefore, Kita Kirihara chose this approach.

In this way, Kitagawa Yuko wouldn't notice too much of the anomaly, and she could maintain her persona in front of the viewers watching the live stream.

Moreover, it also foreshadowed certain events.

As for Kitagawa Yuko's great anxiety about Kitakiri Chise searching for Kitakiri Hara... sorry, she herself didn't really take it to heart.

Rather, the "contradictions and conflicts" that came knocking on their door were not adding insult to injury for North Che, but rather a timely help.

Heh... I wonder what that old guy will do next.

Kita Kirihara seemed to be deep in thought.

However, she naturally wouldn't show these emotions on her face now.

Instead, she revealed her negative emotions, and anyone who knew her even slightly could tell that she was distracted.

Inoue Teru, who should have been keenly aware of this, also found himself embroiled in his own problems.

It concerns Mari Yagawa.

Inoue Teru was quite concerned about Yagawa Mari's unusual behavior this morning. Her nasal cavity was filled with a rather pungent negative emotion, but when asked about it, Yagawa Mari herself seemed reluctant to tell her.

This made Inoue Teru feel a little annoyed.

Yagawa Mari is indeed very dependent on her. Although she complains about this dependence, she actually enjoys it.

But when she asked him about it today, the other person replied, "I can handle this kind of thing myself."

Inoue Teru was unusually a little unhappy.

She went to deliver the bento box that she had forgotten to give to Mari Yagawa in the morning during lunchtime, and saw Mari Yagawa and Shinku Asagami together, whispering to each other.

Seeing the two heads close together, Inoue Teru knew rationally that he didn't smell anything overly intimate, but he was still a little bothered.

"...It's just that you've made new friends, there's no need to be so nervous." Kita Kirihara gave the answer he felt he should give from Inoue Teru's perspective after listening to Inoue Teru's story.

In fact, she knew exactly where Inoue Teru's problem lay.

[Actually, Ahui probably felt uneasy because his child was slipping out of his control.]

Mothers in this role sometimes also experience this kind of problem: possessiveness towards their children.

【Ah Yuan is different; she plays the role of everyone's mother (?)】

If we consider it as possessiveness, Ahui's mentality becomes easy to understand. Because she only cares about the truth, she will place excessive attention on the other person. If she does not receive equal feedback, her mentality will become skewed.

[It's probably a mindset like, "I've come all this way to study with you, and you're still trying to hide things from me,"...?]

I think so...

The viewers in the live chat had guessed most of it.

Kita Kirihara comforted Inoue Teru while resting his chin on his hand and observing Inoue Teru's movements with great interest.

The tomboyish girl complained for a long time until she heard her phone's special notification sound.

Upon opening it, she found a message from Yagawa Mari saying that she had something to do that evening and that she shouldn't go to Class A's dormitory to look for her.

She pursed her lips, her expression quite unpleasant: "That guy, Zhenli..."

Just as Kita Kirihara was about to say something, he caught a glimpse of gold approaching out of the corner of his eye.

Kitagawa Yuko, carrying a tray, sat down next to the two students before even leaving the school.

Her words immediately revealed that she had been eavesdropping: "Since you care, why don't you follow them and see?"

147. The Director's Wife's Taste (4K)

Yagawa Mari sent the message and finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that it had been read.

Seeing this, Asagami Shinku, who had also received an invitation to the theater today, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Why are you so nervous?"

Although she appeared not to be nervous, in reality, the moment she received the admission ticket, Asagami Shinku's slightly improved mood for the day vanished completely.

...Why do we still have to perform the second act?

She still feels lingering fear from the pain of that night, and has even gradually developed the habit of slightly moving her left leg when she feels uneasy to verify that her leg is still growing well.
