Tokyo Soft Rice King.

"Yes, she should look very dignified, but actually be a repressed pervert. She is under a lot of pressure from her studies and craves daring and exciting stress-relieving games. After taking off her glasses at home, she will post highly revealing selfies online... So, hot and sexy lingerie with a high degree of exposure is the most suitable match."

"Although I am the class monitor, I don't wear glasses."

"That's why I said you don't seem like a class monitor."

"And I don't feel any pressure from studying."

"Amazing, amazing."

After all, with an advanced talent like "Academic Ability", learning should be easy and enjoyable for Hitomi Anri.

"Speaking of which, if it's the brooding class monitor that Kuroba-kun mentioned, then not wearing it would probably fit the character better."

"That's not just being a repressed pervert, that's being a nymphomaniac."

"But for guys, seeing someone not wearing clothes would probably be even more exciting, right?"

"Well, you're not wrong."

Anri Hitomi was just thinking about how to increase the allure of her skirt. Now that Kuroba Akira himself has admitted it, she should decisively increase her stakes!

"So, Kuroba-kun, don't you really want to check it out? See if I, the class monitor, fit the contrasting character you mentioned... You can expose it yourself, okay?"

She even staked her power to lift her skirt herself.

It is said that the two pieces of cloth a man most wants to lift in his life are his first love's skirt and his wife's veil.

Moreover, Anri Hitomi's words also implied a hidden perk: "You can watch as long as you want," which was incredibly tempting for Kuroba Akira, who had never lifted two pieces of cloth in his previous life.

"So, class monitor, are you implying that you're really not wearing anything right now?"

Hmm...that's possible?

"The moment you hesitated, the possibility of a vacuum had already disappeared."

"Kuroba-kun...you're too cunning."

"Since it's clearly impossible to win the grand prize, I won't take the risk if the details of the transaction aren't clearly defined."

In other words, if Anri Hitomi really wants to use this to make a transaction, she needs to proactively disclose the color and style of her underwear.

However, making a teenage girl in her adolescence expose her underwear is more shameful than many punishment games.

No matter how mature Anri Hitomi pretends to be, she is still just a fifteen-year-old high school student, only half the age of Kuroba Akira in her previous life, and has not yet experienced the trials of society.

The decisive difference lies in the thickness of one's skin.

"Well... as expected, Kuroba-kun isn't someone who can be persuaded with just this little bit of temptation. Or perhaps my underwear isn't attractive enough..."

Anri Hitomi seemed to have chosen to give up on trying to seduce Kuroba Akira. She sighed and walked past Kuroba Akira, then stood in front of the vending machine.

"What a pity. I was thinking of buying you a drink if you were willing to help."

Upon hearing this, Kuroba Akira, who was about to say goodbye, leaned against the side of the vending machine and crossed his arms.

"Class monitor, although the panties of active female high school students are indeed quite attractive to me, I am a common person. I would rather pursue material wealth than spiritual wealth."

"Kuroba-kun, I'm really devastated right now."

"why?"

"So my underwear isn't even as good as a bottle of soda?"

"I didn't say you could bribe me with a bottle of soda... Anyway, let's hear what you want to ask of me, class monitor."

"You should have asked first about that!"

You should say it first...

Is Chapter Three a legitimate club?

"So, class monitor, you've come to persuade me to join the arts and literature department."

"That's right. All the old members of the Arts and Literature Club are third-year students, and the seniors will be graduating next year. They've already stopped coming to the club one by one. The Arts and Literature Club will then face a crisis of insufficient new members. Since I've been appointed as the new head of the Arts and Literature Club, I should try my best to expand the number of members before the student council gives me a warning."

It turns out the class monitor was not only the class monitor, but also a department head.

However, the Literature and Art Department... is actually what is commonly known as the Literature Club.

In Akira Kuroba's memory, the Literature Club was a club with a very low profile, and in most works, it was just a background character. For example, it was initially mistaken by Hachiman for the Service Club of the Literature Club, or it was the SOS Brigade whose nest was taken over by the all-powerful Divine Sparrow.

"So that's why you came to school during summer vacation, class monitor? Because of club activities?"

The activities of the Literature and Art Department seem to consist mainly of reading books, writing reading reflections, and feeding bookworms.

The main reason for the gradual decline of literature and art departments in reality is that modern people's reading and writing habits have changed significantly.

Nowadays, everyone is used to reading novels on their phones and searching for information online. Even in Japan, where the publishing industry accounts for a large share, this has been impacted. That's why traditional clubs like the Literature and Art Club are facing a shortage of members.

Like Kuroba Akira, if he hadn't transmigrated back into a student, he wouldn't have seriously written anything for almost ten years, and the only thing he usually wrote was his own name.

Because his name underwent a subtle change after he transmigrated, Kuroba Akira often misspelled his own name for a while.

"Does Kuroba-kun care why I came to school during summer vacation?"

Is she answering a question with a question...? This is clearly a change of topic. Could it be that she came to the school for another reason?

However, since she didn't intend to tell him directly, Kuroba Akira wasn't interested in asking further and honestly answered her question.

"A little bit, after all, it's quite rare to see classmates in uniform during summer vacation."

Then Kuroba Akira pointed with his thumb to the playground on the other side of the teaching building, where the boys' laughter could still be heard.

“Those in the soccer club come to school every day to practice and play, but they don’t wear their uniforms to school during summer vacation.”

Only a stubborn, overly serious student would think that going to school necessarily requires wearing a uniform.

Although the class monitor has outstanding academic performance, after talking to her, you will find that she is not rigid; on the contrary, she is quite playful.

"But Kuroba-kun himself was wearing a uniform, wasn't he?"

"I don't wear the uniform because I like it, I just didn't have a choice."

Kuroba Akira looked disgusted.

It was so hot that Kuroba Akira wanted to wear shorts, but he didn't have any extra clothes, only two sets of uniforms and sportswear issued by the school.

Actually, throughout the summer vacation, Kuroba Akira mostly wore summer sportswear, but because of the need to change clothes, he had no choice but to wear a uniform. As it turned out, today was the hottest day of the entire summer vacation.

"Hmm... I originally wore the uniform to make a good impression on you, but it seems I was overthinking it. Kuroba-kun seems quite interested in my casual clothes too."

"As expected, class monitor, you came here for me from the very beginning."

This was no romantic chance encounter or a fateful meeting. From the very beginning, Hitomi Anri approached Akira Kuroba with her own agenda, even considering her first impression through her attire.

Then the problem is coming.

"why me?"

Before the two started talking, Kuroba Akira was the gloomy guy at the bottom of the class, while Anri Hitomi was the outstanding class monitor at the top of the class. There was absolutely no interaction between the two.

Akira Kuroba couldn't understand why Hitomi Anri would be interested in him, let alone invite him to join the Literature Club.

"Class monitor, you're quite popular in the class. If you ask everyone in the class for help, many of the students from the 'Homebound Club' who haven't joined any clubs should be willing to join the Arts Club."

"I'm not looking for ghost members who are just there in name only, and I don't want people to join the club just to help me. Also, I don't want to bring the interpersonal relationships from my class into the club."

"Whoa..."

This is probably the same idea as Yui, who has her own social circle in class and also has a close friend in the Service Club, keeping to herself and not interfering with each other.

It truly is a reference book for youth.

"So, I, someone you've never met before, am the most suitable candidate...?"

Anri Hitomi smiled and held up one finger as she continued.

"Of course, the most important thing is that you really enjoy reading, Kuroba-kun, you even come to the school library to read during summer vacation."

"You saw it."

Upon closer reflection, Anri Hitomi realized that she hadn't asked Kuroba Akira why he came to school during summer vacation, which meant she knew Kuroba Akira's purpose for coming to school from the beginning.

Although Akira Kuroba knew he was just there to practice his local dialect, in other people's eyes, someone who came to school to read during summer vacation must be a person who really loves reading.

"It's not just about seeing."

"Ok?"

"Kuroba-kun, why do you think the school library is open during summer vacation?"

"what……"

It turned out to be the case.

This also explains why Hitomi Anri was at school during summer vacation.

Kuroba Akira could finish reading his books every day and then go home, while the class monitor had to make sure to lock the library door properly.

However, Kuroba Akira remembered that the librarian was a cool and quiet girl from the next class. She was probably also a member of the literature club, which is why she asked the class monitor to help manage the library during the summer vacation.

Or perhaps the class monitor knew that Kuroba Akira often came to the library, so he volunteered to take on this task to see if Kuroba Akira's love for books was genuine.

So, after observing Kuroba Akira throughout the summer vacation, Hitomi Anri confirmed that he was not just a pretty face, and that's why she came to talk to him on the last day of the summer vacation.

In other words, Kuroba Akira actually spent the entire summer vacation with the class president, but he himself was unaware of it.

"Also, Ms. Motoko said that I, as the class monitor, should take good care of Kuroba-kun who is all alone, and it would be best if I could help you make a hundred friends."

Mr. Kobayakawa... Thank you for your kindness, but I don't have the surname Komi, and I don't need that many friends.

"Then if I become friends with Kuroba-kun first, and then invite you to join our club, it will not only help Kuroba-kun make more friends, but also help the Literature Club overcome its difficulties. It's a good idea to kill two birds with one stone, right?"

"I haven't said I want to join yet."

"Our arts and literature club may be small, but the members are all top-ranked beauties in the entire high school, you know?"

"Wow, how does that compare to you, class monitor?"

"Hmm... I think everyone's appearance is unique... But it's worth mentioning that I'm not the oldest in our club, Kuroba-kun, you should know what I'm talking about, not age."

"..." Bigger breasts than the class monitor? Aren't they overdeveloped?

"And our advisor happens to be our homeroom teacher, Ms. Motoko Kobayakawa. You know her quite well, and she has always cared about you. If she sees that you, Kuroba-kun, have joined the Literature Club, she will be very happy. She might even hug you... Hmm, Ms. Kobayakawa is very mature as a woman."

"..." Do you have facial cleanser?

"And most importantly, there isn't a single boy in the Literature and Art Club right now. Doesn't Kuroba-kun want to experience what it's like to be surrounded by pretty girls?"
