They all have hidden attributes!

Japan does have this culture where staying overnight at a friend's house signifies a very close relationship, but it's generally limited to same-sex couples.

Even with friends of the opposite sex, they are usually together in groups of three to five; there is absolutely no precedent of a man and woman alone together.

"I'm graduating next year, and I want to experience this now."

As Shiraishi Junka walked into the living room, her voice soft, her gaze swept over the Belgian teapot, tea set, coffee bean tin, tea canister, and chocolate on the coffee table, and she pursed her red lips in a pitiful manner.

She turned back and looked at me with her watery eyes, radiating a pitiful aura, silently condemning me.

Seeing the expression on his face as if he was about to cry, Makoto Takahashi rubbed his temples in exasperation and had no choice but to swallow his suggestion that Junka Shiraishi stay at the neighbor's house.

"It's just a friend staying overnight; no unnecessary things are allowed," he emphasized.

"Today it's black, and it has a bow."

"You don't need to tell me specifically."

"Even the socks have bows."

As she spoke, Shiraishi Junka pinched the hem of her skirt with her fingers, lifted it up with both hands, and showed off the straps of her black stockings.

Having experienced the baptism of the Tachimi family, this level was not enough to make Takahashi Makoto's heart so agitated that he lost his mind.

He quickly looked away and down at the paper bag in his arms. Pears, kiwis, carrots, spinach... all seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Shiraishi Junka's gaze instantly fell on Takahashi Makoto's abdomen. Seeing that he remained unmoved, she lowered her skirt and calmly turned her gaze to the screen in the living room.

"Can we play together?" she asked softly.

"Okay, go to bed early tonight. You have class tomorrow. I'll arrange for someone to take you home to change into your uniform."

Makoto Takahashi couldn't explain to Maya Uesugi that Junko Shiraishi was spending the night in his apartment.

"I'll sleep in Makoto's bedroom, whatever you say." Shiraishi Junko sat down on the sofa, her face slightly flushed, her gaze wandering around.

"Okay, I'll sleep on the sofa."

Makoto Takahashi placed the paper bag on the coffee table, turned, and walked towards the entryway: "I'm going to the convenience store to buy you a toothbrush and a towel. Is there anything you want to eat?"

"I don't like fast food."

Shiraishi Junko picked up the handle and shook her head: "I'll prepare the hot water and wait for you to come back."

"If you can, you can go ahead and wash."

"it is good."

Makoto Takahashi went out with his wallet, ate some oden at the convenience store downstairs in his apartment building, and bought a toothbrush, towel, cup, slippers, and other items.

Back at the apartment, the TV screen was on the menu page of a two-player puzzle game, and the sound of water came from the bathroom. Makoto Takahashi hung the items he had bought on the doorknob.

"I'll leave my things on the door, and then I'll get dressed and come out."

"Okay." Shiraishi Junko obediently replied, her hoarse voice faintly revealing a hint of moisture.

While she was taking a shower, Makoto Takahashi moved the bedding out and spread it on the sofa. He read a light novel for a while before Junko Shiraishi finally pushed open the bathroom door and walked out.

She was wearing a shirt by Makoto Takahashi, the neckline revealing her slender neck and freshly bathed pink skin. Her slender figure and full curves were perfectly outlined, making it hard to know where to look.

This is getting a bit bad; it's even more provocative than just wearing [the winning lingerie].

Makoto Takahashi withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to the television screen.

"Does the 3rd year A class also go to Sapporo for their school trip?" he asked casually.

"Okay, I'll come see you tonight."

Shiraishi Junka sat down close to Takahashi Makoto, picked up the second game controller, and said, "I recently consulted Chitose about many cooking methods, as well as cleaning. Although I'm not completely unfamiliar with housekeeping yet, I'm no longer a complete novice."

"I see."

"...I will work hard for Cheng."

Takahashi Makoto was about to say that there was no time for the school trip when he turned his head and saw her profile, and his breath suddenly stopped.

A happy smile graced Shiraishi Junka's charming face, and anticipation welled up from her heart, overflowing from her wine-red eyes.

A surprise attack is very bad for the heart.

Feeling the strong thumping of his heart, Takahashi Makoto swallowed hard. "I'll try to get Sachi's consent as soon as possible."

"it is good."

You have to behave tonight.

"Ah."

That night, Shiraishi Junko was indeed obedient and well-behaved. Not only did she not take the initiative to seduce him, but she also locked the door before going to bed.

The next day, Makoto Takahashi woke up to a sweet scent.

Take a deep breath; the familiar scent is incredibly soothing, like both milk and a vibrant, dewy rose.

He moved closer, his mind hazy, and felt a warm, soft touch on his cheek.

Lifting his eyelids, Takahashi Makoto met those wine-red eyes filled with infatuation at close range, and slowly realized that his pillow was gone, and that he was resting his head on Shiraishi Junka's soft lap.

"Your Majesty is waiting for me downstairs."

Shiraishi Junka stroked his hair and said reluctantly, "I should go now, otherwise I'll cause Makoto trouble."

Makoto Takahashi glanced at the sky outside the window; it was just beginning to lighten. He then straightened up and gently kissed her cheek.

An ambiguous silence enveloped the apartment.

After seeing Shiraishi Junko off downstairs, Takahashi Makoto went back to his room and slept for a while. He only got up to go to the Uesugi family's house next door for breakfast when his phone alarm rang.

As usual, he took the streetcar to school with Uesugi Maya. When they arrived at the academy, the two parted ways in the corridor.

Entering the classroom of Class 1-C, Takahashi Makoto saw Hanakawa Kaori fiddling with a hand cream set at her seat. He stood behind her and lightly tapped her head with a chop to the head.

"Hanaori, Junko came to see me last night. Is there anything you want to say?"

"Ouch, that hurts."

Hanakawa Kaori exaggeratedly covered her head with both hands, turned to face him, puffed out her cheeks and said, "This is for the badminton club. Finding a good coach is a real hassle."

"Why did you tell Junko about the location of the school trip?" Takahashi Makoto raised his hand, pinched her cheek, and gently pulled it.

“I think it’s better for the band members to be together, and I also want to protect this family as much as possible.”

Hanakawa Kaori spoke indistinctly while showing different colored hand creams, her bright purple eyes revealing no falsehood: "Autumn and winter are drier, so my brother has some too."

"Give mine to Haruna."

Makoto Takahashi released his grip, a helpless smile on his face. Hanakawa Kaori placed the hand cream on Nekoya Hina's desk, pouting and asking defiantly:

"How did you know that you didn't prepare any for Hina and Sachi?"

She appears friendly to everyone, but in reality, she has a strict hierarchy.

"Don't make the differential treatment too obvious," Takahashi Makoto advised.

"Don't worry, my brother will always be number one in my heart."

"That's not what I meant. Never mind."

Today is Wednesday. The two afternoon classes were long class meetings. Supervisor Chihaya talked about the school trip and the midterm exams.

"For the school trip, considering safety issues, first-year students cannot choose their own destination. Group A and Group C will go to Sapporo together."

Upon hearing that they couldn't choose their own location, possibly because they had to be with Group A, the students expressed their discontent.

"Because the students in the brass band are going to participate in the national competition on the 24th, in order to take care of them, the school trip will be postponed a bit, starting from the 27th and lasting for four days and three nights."

Supervisor Chihaya picked up a piece of chalk, turned around, and wrote the time on the blackboard:

"On the morning of the 27th, we will gather at the college and take a bus to Haneda Airport. The first day will be a group activity, the second day will be group activities, the third day will be free time, and we will gather at noon on the fourth day for lunch. We will all return to the college together."

"I also have some good news to share. The student council will cover the travel and accommodation expenses for the first-year students on this school trip. All you need to do is bring your pocket money."

Including the weekend, there are a total of 6 days to play, plus Halloween, which caused a burst of cheers in the class.

Once everyone's excitement had subsided, Supervisor Chihaya continued:

"Since it's a school trip, we're not allowed to wear personal clothes, so please bring warm clothes. Winter is approaching in Hokkaido."

"Also, do not go to remote or sparsely populated places, and try not to go out at night. The bear infestation in Hokkaido has been very serious in the past two years, so safety should be the top priority."

The young ladies in Tokyo had absolutely no idea about the bear plague. One girl in the front row raised her hand and jokingly asked, "Will we become food reserves for the bears to hibernate?"

Seeing the students' indifferent expressions, Supervisor Chihaya tapped the blackboard with her finger and emphasized in a serious tone:

"After arriving in Hokkaido, the academy will distribute bear-repelling supplies, which are also effective against common wild animals. Everyone must carry them with them. Escape methods will also be explained at that time."

Supervisor Chihaya's expression was extremely serious, and the students finally took it to heart, replying in unison with a drawn-out "Yes—"

"Okay, regarding the midterm exams, this time the college will hold them independently, and the dates are set for the 20th and 21st."

"Because the division between arts and sciences will begin next semester, you can choose to take either arts or sciences exams. Please submit your group assignments for the school trip and your exam subject selections to my office before Friday."

After discussing the midterm exams, Supervisor Chihaya announced that the remaining time would be for self-study. After she left, the classroom instantly became chaotic.

"Why do we have to take exams again?!" Hina Nekoya wailed.

"A student's duty is to study, Haruna-nee. If things continue like this, your future will be bleak."

Hanakawa Kaori tilted her head and looked at her, asking curiously, "Speaking of which, Hina-nee is from Hokkaido, right? Are there really bears there?"

"Maybe, but I've never seen it."

Hina Nekoya took out hand cream from her desk drawer, squeezed it onto the back of her hand, and turned to Makoto Takahashi, asking, "Makoto, do you want to choose humanities or science? I'd like to be in the same class as you."

"Humanities," Takahashi Makoto answered without hesitation.

Chapter 147 The Hell Girl's Anger, the Angel's Forgiveness

At 3:20 p.m., the school bell rang on time.

Makoto Takahashi closed the window, put the chair away, and quickly walked out of the classroom to the door of the 1st grade A class classroom.

"Takahashi-kun, is there something you need?"

The girl who had just stepped out of the classroom stopped and smiled warmly. Before Takahashi Makoto could answer, a gloomy atmosphere descended upon her.

"Go home," Uesugi Maya said coldly.
