Strategy! Welcome to the Free Haremism Classroom

Then she closed the book and looked at Kiyotaka.

"Ever since the Paper Shuffle exam results came out and we robbed Class C of a hundred class points, it feels like their actions have become more and more outrageous."

"Uh, ah, right."

"Why do you look like you don't care? They are obviously looking for the mastermind behind Class D."

"Isn't that you, Suzune? It really has nothing to do with me. And to be honest, some of the constraints on me have been removed recently. I don't plan to force things. Class D has its own potential."

Kiyotaka finally turned his gaze back to Horikita and said indifferently.

"I really don't understand you because you are afraid of trouble."

Horikita sighed softly and said helplessly.

"Good morning, Kiyotaka~"

Haru joined the class, and when she saw Kiyotaka, she greeted him first before returning to her seat.

"morning."

"You don't seem to find it troublesome to mess with women."

Horikita sneered.

“You’re the first one.”

Kiyotaka's light words immediately shut Horikita up.

Seeing that Horikita stopped talking, Kiyotaka looked out the window boredly.

Leisurely days are pretty good. I really hope they can last forever. That would be great.

Qinglong looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window and couldn't help but think.

After school, there was a crowd in front of the dormitory building, and most of the students gathered here.

"What's wrong, so many people..."

Yukimura, who was leaving school with Kiyotaka, frowned and asked in confusion.

"I don't know..."

Qing Long looked at the scene in front of him without any emotion and responded calmly.

"Hey, look, Long Yuan is here!"

In the distance, Ryuuen walked over with his usual arrogant look, and immediately asked a freshman who was curious about the topic.

"Ryuuen, the card you put there says it's evidence that you know that Ichinose Honami of Class B obtained points illegally. Is that true?"

Long Yuan said with an evil smile upon hearing this.

"Ah... this, don't you think it's interesting?"

"Where's the fun in that? I can use this to tell the school that you slandered me."

The other main person involved in the incident also appeared.

Ichinose was as beautiful as ever, but her usual gentle smile was missing.

"Defamation? You could just make your current points public and tell everyone where you got them from. Wouldn't that way people wouldn't doubt you? Otherwise, do you think they gathered here to wait for snow to fall and have a snowball fight?"

Ryuen said with a scornful smile.

Ichinose looked at the suspicious eyes around him and could only shake his head.

“Sorry, I can’t disclose the source of the acquisition.”

"Oh~ So you did obtain points illegally."

Ryuen said right after.

"You don't need to stir up trouble here. I will hand over my terminal to the school for inspection. The school will naturally determine whether I obtained it illegally. I will also ask the school to publish the results. You don't think the school will favor me if I lie, right?"

Ichinose looked at Ryuuen with a bad look, and explained to the students around him at the same time.

At this time, Shinqi, who had been following Ichinose, spoke up.

"Everyone, regarding this matter involving Ichinose-san, I believe the school will give a result tomorrow. I believe that Ichinose-san will not do such a thing. Can we just wait for the result tomorrow?"

"Since that's the case, let's take a look."

"Yeah yeah."

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Long Yuan simply walked towards his dormitory with disdain, without any intention of explaining.

Kiyotaka had been watching silently, and Yukimura, who was standing next to him, said.

"Is this a trick to trick Ichinose into gaining points, or is this really true?"

"Who knows..."

Kiyotaka narrowed his eyes slightly. In the first semester, Ichinose already had nearly two million points. It must be even more terrifying now. No wonder she didn't dare to announce it. It's a pity that she didn't know how to get the points...

This was just an insignificant episode in the ordinary days. Soon everyone dispersed and Qinglong returned to his room.

Around ten o'clock in the evening, Qinglong was strolling along the cold river bank. He took out his terminal and made a call.

At the same time, Karuizawa had just finished a nice bath. After she came out wrapped in a bath towel, she heard her terminal ringing. She picked it up and saw that it was Kiyotaka, who never called her on his own initiative. She picked up the phone immediately.

"Hello? What's up?"

Karuizawa asked in a calm tone.

"I want to know what you are doing."

"Eh? Really? You're not calling me out of boredom, are you?"

Karuizawa asked in surprise.

"That's true. Manabe and the others haven't caused you any more trouble, have they?"

Karuizawa opened a bag of potato chips, took a bite and said.

"No, it's just that recently someone from Class C has been following me from a distance."

"Well, they shouldn't take any further action."

Kiyotaka's voice was as bland as ever, and even if Karuizawa wanted to hear any difference, he couldn't.

"You called me just for this? But since this is a good opportunity, I wanted to ask you something."

"what?"

"Why do you want to hide the fact that you are very smart? If you reveal it, maybe your status will be higher than Hirata's."

Kiyotaka paused and then spoke.

"I think you misunderstood. I have no intention of going out to people, either before or after. I will only take actions that are appropriate for my own purposes. And, I called you today because I actually wanted to apologize to you."

"apologize?"

Karuizawa stopped eating snacks for a moment, and a bad thought arose in her heart.

"Well, I have caused you a lot of trouble during this period."

"Hey, why are you suddenly talking so seriously..."

Karuizawa was stunned for a moment, and his inner uneasiness became more serious.

"I will no longer take the initiative to help Class D climb up."

"Ha... So you're going to live peacefully?"

"Well, I plan to leave these matters to them."

"That's great, you're free now."

"Um, so... this is the last time I contact you."

"Huh? What did you just say?"

Karuizawa was stunned, unable to believe what he had just heard.

"Didn't you hear me clearly? I said this is the last time I will contact you. I won't ask you for anything else. Is this normal?"

"Yeah...that's right."

"Of course, I will still help you if you encounter any accidents, so except for the email address needed for emergency contact, please delete all my contact information and records. I have already deleted them."

Karuizawa was already somewhat agitated, with some confusion and anger in her eyes.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

"what happened?"

"Anyway, you're being too cold, aren't you? Even if you don't need me to do anything anymore, there's no need to completely cut off contact and treat me like a stranger, right?"

"Our relationship is just that cold, isn't it? I'm sure you hate being used by me, too."

Kiyotaka's light words were like a sharp knife stabbing directly into Karuizawa's heart.

"Is this how you view our relationship?"

Karuizawa smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Why, you can't bear to part with it?"

Kiyotaka asked in a slightly strange tone.

Unfortunately, Karuizawa could never let go of her inner dignity, so she responded immediately.

"How can it be!"

"That's fine, bye."

Karuizawa stared blankly at the hung up phone, and tears had already flowed down onto her white thighs without her knowing.

"What... What am I in your eyes? A toy that comes when you call it and goes away when you wave it away!"

As Karuizawa spoke, he couldn't help but cover his face with his hands and started crying.

"Obviously I don't hate you for taking advantage of me."

"I obviously enjoy spending time with you."

"Obviously...I have fallen in love with you without realizing it."

Under the dim light, the girl lay on the bed with a sad face and cried loudly.

The next day, the school indeed issued an announcement stating that there was no problem with Ichinose Honami obtaining points.

This was also within Qinglong's expectations, and the students who were shocked by it were relieved.

At school, Karuizawa stood absent-mindedly in the corridor, replaying the conversation she had with Kiyotaka yesterday in her mind.

She saw the figure who had been waiting for a long time, and mustered up the courage to greet Qingtaka.

"Good morning, Kiyotaka."

"morning."

Qing Long just replied calmly and then passed by her directly.

"Morning, Kiyotaka."

Miyake also saw Kiyotaka.

"morning."

"You're as expressionless as ever."

"I'm sorry, I've always been like this."

Karuizawa looked at Qinglong's back which was getting farther and farther away, with an indescribable loneliness on his face.

She felt that this was just like the relationship between her and Qinglong, which was slowly getting farther and farther away, until it was out of reach forever.

But this was clearly not the result she wanted. She even began to regret it. If she had not been so arrogant and had not guarded her insignificant self-esteem when Qinglong asked her yesterday if she was reluctant, would everything have been different?

In the classroom, Kiyotaka came to his seat and saw Horikita and Hirata chatting, so he tactfully did not say anything.

"So what are you going to talk to me about, Hirata?"

"That's right, Horikita-san. I think study sessions should not only be held before exams, but also during normal times."
