Tokyo Soft Rice King.

So Haruka Tomita shook her head with a hint of regret, then raised her arm, smelled her arm and body, and said.

"The smell should have dissipated by now. Even if her nose is very sensitive, it's unlikely that she would smell anything strange after being outdoors in winter for a while."

Kuroba Akira recalled how he used to walk around outside for a while to dispel the smell, and he would feel guilty for secretly going out with his wife.

But this time, she's bringing a new "mistress" home, so is it the new mistress pretending to be "just a friend"?

However, Akira Kuroba felt that Haruka was really just a friend... the kind of friend without any ambiguous romantic feelings.

If so, it was the black-tailed cat that did it, it has nothing to do with humans!

So when he brought her home this time, Kuroba Akira felt no guilt at all and could face Shion with a clear conscience.

He had already decided to let Qingxia stay in Hongjie's room first, or let Ziyin and Qingxia sleep in the bunk bed that hadn't been used for a long time, while he himself would sleep on the sofa.

However, Haruka Tomita clearly had more concerns and continued to discuss the subsequent action plan.

"However, to prevent her jealousy from getting out of control, Kuroba-kun, you'd better give Murasaki-no-miya a little something today. For example, give her a massage, or hug her and give her a deep kiss, or take a bath with her... In short, anything involving physical contact is fine. Don't let her feel 'neglected'."

"what?"

“Even if there is no evidence on the surface, she will still have some thoughts when she sees you going home with me. In addition, I may stay at your house for a while, which will be a very annoying and troublesome presence for her. So I still need you to help me cover for me.”

"Uh……"

"But be careful not to get to home base, don't let her have sex, otherwise she will only despise me more and think that I am not a threat at all... In that case, it will not serve as a warning."

Haruka Tomita calmly uttered something incredible, leaving Akira Kuroba speechless.

He just said he wanted to rectify the conduct, but now he's saying he needs to give Ziyin some benefits... It's a bit contradictory.

Haruka Tomita noticed Akira Kuroba's strange expression and tilted her head to ask him a question.

Is there a problem?

"There is a problem... It's just that, Qingxia, didn't you say you wanted to rectify the discipline?"

"It's about rectifying discipline... Ah, Kuroba-kun, did you think I meant strict management like schools prohibiting inappropriate relationships?"

"Wasn't it that kind of thing before?"

The main reason was that Akira Kuroba saw that Haruka Tomita hesitated even for the most ordinary contact like touching someone's head, and hesitated even to borrow a coat. She assumed that this was the standard by which everyone would become a pure and innocent girl with no desires.

Correspondingly, Akira Kuroba also needs to revert to being like a virgin and use his five fingers to relieve himself... However, she did not prohibit other intimate contact outside of home plate, which made Akira Kuroba a little confused about what Haruka Tomita's standards were.

"Hehe, how could it be that kind of thing? Schools don't care about students' relationships anymore, as long as you don't actually get pregnant."

"really……"

Teacher Luo even provides assistance, offering a bed and balloon props for the crime scene, which shows how open-minded she is.

"Besides, Kuroba-kun, you also have times when you want to, right? If you have so many beautiful girls around you, but you can't touch any of them, that would be more agonizing for a man than being in prison, wouldn't it?"

"I'm not pretending anymore. To be honest, it really is really frustrating to just look at something and not be able to touch it."

Haruka Tomita smiled and put her hands behind her back.

"So, as I just said, I want you, Kuroba-kun, to stop being the one who passively gives, but I don't want you to become a monk, Kuroba-kun. This is a shrine, and you are the head priest, Kuroba-kun. You don't need to strictly suppress your desires and restrain yourself. Besides, even monks are allowed to marry and have children now."

"Hmm... so what exactly are you referring to as discipline...?"

"The discipline I'm referring to is the discipline around you, Kuroba-kun. And right now, it's not about whether or not there will be any violations of discipline, but rather that there is no discipline at all. Everyone's feelings and Ange are 'fired at will,' right? That's why these chaotic scenes that give you a stomachache happen so often, isn't it?"

"That's right! Sometimes it suddenly turns into a gravity field! And it has nothing to do with me! I'm just a... uh... prize..."

Even Kuroba Akira himself felt sad saying these words.

Constantly being manipulated, he becomes increasingly vulnerable, unable to control anything, and all he can do is accept the love of young girls and satisfy their desires...

Like a shared doll... completely losing a man's dignity!

"Yes, this is a manifestation of imbalance, which is why I want to establish a 'new discipline'... Actually, Hitomi and those eight are called... um, Takanashi-san, right? They have almost built up their base, getting everyone on the 'same boat'. Although it's noisy on the boat, no one wants the boat to really capsize."

"I see……"

From having multiple partners, they now belong to one large ship carrying everyone, including Kuroba Akira.

"They failed to establish a proper order simply because they were vying for the captain's seat, because it was easy for things to turn into a situation of 'nobody respecting anyone else' and 'why should we listen to you'. That's the limitation of insiders."

"Is it that a leader who is 'respected' has not yet emerged?"

"Yes, and I believe that you, Kuroba-kun, should be the captain, and I will be your first mate, helping you establish a new order on the ship with you as the leader."

"First Mate! Please enlighten me!"

"Actually, you have an absolute advantage, because you control the crucial food distribution. Without you, everyone on the ship would starve to death."

"But aren't I food myself?!"

"That's right. So, Kuroba-kun, you need to have a clearer understanding of yourself. Your every word and action will affect those who admire you."

"So you want me to follow your advice when you patted your head earlier, to think carefully about the consequences before I speak and act?"

"It doesn't have to go that far. That would be too tiring for you, and you'd have to scheme against them. For you, Kuroba-kun, that would just turn physical weakness into mental torture, wouldn't it?"

"really……"

At first, Kuroba Akira tried to manipulate the favorability ratings by thinking about the consequences of doing so before taking action.

But it's really exhausting... It's just a battle of wits in love.

The most frustrating thing is that reality often doesn't unfold as you predict, meaning all your previous efforts were in vain, and it might even have the opposite effect.

So after breaking through the barrier of virginity, Kuroba Akira stopped wasting brain cells, since... his affection level had already exceeded its limit.

However, Haruka Tomita then pointed out Akira Kuroba's 'oversight'.

"It's just that you were too casual with the rewards you gave me before, Kuroba-kun. To you, there's no real difference between patting someone's head, kissing someone, and going to home base... but there is a difference for a woman."

Are there psychological differences between men and women? What are those differences?

"To use a game analogy, these skills have different 'point costs' and different 'damage'. The problem with you, Kuroba-kun, is that you use your skills too carelessly, and often you're using a cannon to kill a mosquito."

This metaphor truly enlightened Akira Kuroba.

So that's how it is! The output was all wasted!

Thinking of this, Kuroba Akira clenched his fist and cried out in frustration.

Holy crap! How can I be so bad at this?!

"That's why I said when we get home and see Murasaki no Miyako, Kuroba-kun, you need to comfort her appropriately. But as long as I don't leave any 'obvious marks,' her dissatisfaction won't be too strong, and it's not to the point where you need to use your body."

“I understand, this is what ‘necessary feeding’ means, because it’s impossible to make them completely ‘starve’!”

"That's right. What I mean by healthy is not that you, Kuroba-kun, should abstain from sex with them, but simply that you should restrain their ever-expanding desires and learn to know when to stop. That way, your sexual pressure will be much less, right?"

"Yes! That way I'll be completely fine!"

Kuroba Akira understood completely.

"If we compare their inner world to their body, what I'm doing is more like creating a 'weight loss plan' for them."

Weight loss isn't about losing physical fat, but about shedding the excessive weight of emotions in your heart.

“We can’t let her continue to binge eat, otherwise not only will you, Kuroba-kun, be eaten dry, but they will also be ruined in body and mind, becoming more twisted and unrecognizable... However, weight loss can’t be achieved by ‘starving’ alone, right? Otherwise, the ‘rebound’ will be even more severe.”

Haruka Tomita raised two index fingers, put them together to make a 1+1 gesture, and said.

"Appropriate exercise combined with appropriate intake is what makes a person 'well-rounded'."

"Oh!"

That really does sound like how a sporty girl would be described.

"However, as we all know, dieting is an extremely painful process, both for them and for you, Kuroba-kun. So, Kuroba-kun, you must also be prepared for a long battle!"

"it is good!"

"But as long as we persevere together and get through the most difficult period, we will all become better in the end!"

"Ok!"

It's so reliable, it gives people a strong sense of trust, and it's full of positive energy, like being bathed in sunshine.

Kuroba Akira now feels like he's hired a reliable and beautiful personal trainer at the gym. As long as he listens to her completely, his fitness journey will be smooth sailing.

"However, establishing order requires 'everyone's approval.' We need to win everyone's support one by one. Kuroba-kun, who do you think will be more inclined to side with us?"

"Hmm... the class monitor, I guess."

"We thought the same thing, too. I also think that Xiaotong is the most likely to side with us."

"However, the class monitor is more like a neutral party. She probably doesn't want a situation where one side becomes too powerful."

“That’s right. Xiaotong is very rational, so she can always see things very clearly. But because of this, she never 'gambles' and she is extremely resistant to 'losing'. She always makes the safest choice.”

"The moderates..."

That's why the class monitor is an angel, or rather, a god.

“The order we're maintaining is what Xiaotong wants to see, so if we explain it to her clearly, she'll most likely help us, but…”

"only?"

She didn't finish her sentence, not because Tomita Haruka was being coy, but because she saw someone more important.

At the intersection near Xiaolin's house, she blocked the way, arms crossed, her expression icy.

The original boss, Ms. Shion, has appeared!

If we can't overcome this hurdle, all the talk about rectifying discipline will be nothing but empty words...

Akira Kuroba was a little nervous, but Haruka Tomita walked towards her without any fear.

Ordinary girl VS Chosen one

Talent is not the deciding factor... at least not in love.

Haruka Tomita was determined to prove it to her.

Chapter 389 Kicked Out of the House

Shion Murasaki immediately recognized that Haruka Tomita was not the strange girl with the cat at the end of her sentences.

Although it's still a cat... it's become a cat that steals fish.

Then he frowned and glared at the black tail on Kuroba Akira's head, conveying his dissatisfaction.
