Their restricted abilities are refreshed every week.

Delicious.

This time, I said it in my heart.

Putting down the teacup and staring at Shirakawa Haru who had already started collecting documents seriously across from her, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt.

The president was so kind to her, but she was trying to get him to do something...

While eating the warm pudding, Xiangzi said sorry in his heart.

The sound of a large number of documents falling onto the table could be heard, and Shirakawa Haru stood up: "Then I'll be leaving first, Toyokawa-san. Please enjoy your afternoon tea."

what……

Before Xiangzi could organize his words, he saw Shirakawa Haru walking decisively towards the door of the student union.

Looking at the figure that was getting farther and farther away, she didn't have time to think about it and subconsciously activated the candy house barrier that was ready to go.

Alice's Candy House, Coverage - Student Union Room.

Alice's Candy House

[Instructions for Use 50: Set an anchor point. When the barrier is deployed within a 50-meter radius of the anchor point, there is no time limit. The user can freely manipulate the barrier within a 50× range, but can modify at most two common sense points.

After the barrier disappears, all memories except the user will be corrected.

Can only be used once every 72 hours.

The anchor point position can only be changed once a month, so please choose carefully.

Shirakawa Haru walked to the door and turned the doorknob downwards.

The door handle seemed to be stuck and wouldn't budge.

Tighten it with all your strength.

Still not moving.

I knew I would be targeted even if I brought afternoon tea to the student union...

He took a deep breath and looked back at the lonely name entry above Toyokawa Shoko's head.

Fortunately, Teacher Daxiang is with me.

Chapter 13 [A room where you can only leave if you answer questions truthfully]

"President, what's wrong?"

Toyokawa Shoko listened to the heartbeat in her ears and asked without changing her expression.

Even when Shirakawa Haru turned her head, she stuffed a piece of pudding into her mouth as if nothing had happened.

"The door doesn't seem to be opening."

Because it was confirmed that Toyokawa Shoko was undoubtedly a "good person", Shirakawa Haru did not have too much guard against her.

But at the same time, there is no intention to inform the other party of information related to the modifier.

"Door……?"

Toyokawa Shoko pondered, "Could it be that the door handle is old and broken?"

She only heard a "click" sound, and saw that the door handle was completely removed by Baichuan Qing. Then she saw Baichuan Qing bending down to look into the lock.

"There's another door behind the keyhole. It seems like there's no way out." Shirakawa Haru shook his head, picked up the documents on the ground and sat back down opposite Xiangzi. "Toyokawa-san, let's sort out the current situation first."

"Huh? Ah... okay."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded doubtfully, almost perfectly portraying the image of an ordinary person who was confused.

She stroked the three small pieces of paper in her pocket with her fingers, and with a thought, she made them disappear suddenly.

"First, we seem to have been locked in the student union room by unknown means."

"President, are you kidding me?"

Toyokawa Shoko frowned. "Are you trying to say we've encountered a supernatural phenomenon similar to 'ghost wall'?"

"Maybe."

Shirakawa Haru nodded, took off his baggy school uniform, and walked to the large window: "Mr. Fengchuan, you don't seem to believe it, so let me prove it to you."

The sunlight from the window shone on his body, outlining his firm muscles that contained explosive power through his thin white shirt.

Shirakawa Haru rolled up his sleeves, and the moment he clenched his fist, his forearm suddenly swelled up. Under the astonished gaze of Toyokawa Shoko, he punched towards the window.

The well-tempered fist shattered the glass easily, but then encountered a second piece, and a third...

But in just a few seconds, the floor of the student union room was covered with scattered glass fragments.

Shirakawa Haru retracted his hands, which were already soaked in red, and said to Xiangzi seriously: "As you can see, we can't get out..."

"President!"

Toyokawa Shoko slammed her hands on the table and ran anxiously to Shirakawa Haru: "Your hands——!"

"It's just a minor injury."

Wiping the blood off his right hand with his school uniform, Shirakawa Haru pressed Xiangzi's shoulder with a little force, looked her straight in the eye and said, "If it were you, Saki, you would probably be able to calm down and understand the situation."

Understanding the current situation...

It's more than just understanding. This tragic situation was caused by myself.

Shoko Toyokawa looked at the arm covered with tiny wounds, her eyes revealing deep worry, self-blame and a hint of... perhaps even a hint of joy that she herself was not aware of.

She let out a shaky breath, "No matter what, I need to bandage you first, President."

——Shoko Toyokawa did not expect that Shirakawa Haru would use such drastic means to try to break the deadlock. She was really shocked.

"Please."

After Xiangzi took out gauze and iodine from the cupboard and bandaged him, Shirakawa Haru continued:

"Secondly, we don't know how long this strange situation will last. It's fine for a short time, but if it lasts a long time..."

But just as he opened his mouth, a small piece of paper suddenly appeared in the air and floated down.

The two's attention was drawn over at the same time.

[A room where you can only leave if you answer questions truthfully].

This was written on the note. The handwriting was very neat, so neat that it didn't even look like it was written by a person, but rather like it was printed by a machine.

——He and Xiangzi were being watched.

This was Shirakawa Haru's first reaction.

In other words, the controller of the barrier of the student union room can see everything that happens in the barrier from the outside world.

Otherwise, the timing of the note appearing wouldn't be so coincidental.

"President, how did this note appear..."

Toyokawa Shoko opened her mouth slightly and looked around in confusion.

Shirakawa Haru didn't answer, but just turned the note over, revealing the question on the back.

[Question 1: On a 10-point scale, how important is the other person to you?]

Shirakawa Haru:?

Is the owner of this barrier here to watch him and Xiangzi have fun?

Is there any need to ask such gossipy questions?

——In theory, modifiers are created to satisfy the desires of their owners.

But Shirakawa Haru is now unable to determine whether the guy behind this barrier is the [user] or the [owner].

If it's the former, it's fine and it doesn't matter if you answer the question just like that.

But if it is the latter who has been bound to the modifier - then the other party is undoubtedly a guy with a terrifying and curious voyeuristic desire.

If you take an action that satisfies the other party's desire, it will only make the level of the other party's modifier increase faster and higher.

By then, you will be tortured to death before you even meet the other person.

Right now it's still [a room where you can only leave if you answer questions truthfully], but who knows if it will become [a room where you can only leave if you take off your clothes] or even [a room where you can only leave if you S○X].

Shirakawa Haru could still bear it, but Xiangzi absolutely could not accept such a strange request...

Even if it's for the other person's sake, you shouldn't compromise like this.

As I felt my arms being simply disinfected and bandaged, I heard Toyokawa Shoko's voice beside my ears: "President, there's no need for us to do these inexplicable things. Why don't we call the police first..."

——You see, Teacher Daxiang really thought so.

——But in fact, Xiangzi was just worried that if he was too anxious, Shirakawa Haru would find out.

"There's no signal here."

Pulling out his phone, Shirakawa Haru looked at the exclamation mark in the upper right corner and sighed, "Perhaps we can only hope that someone from the outside world will come and find us, or that this place will automatically return to normal."

——Yuki's modification of his favorability and Oguri's time freeze both have time limits, so Shirakawa Haru believes that the deployment of this barrier will also have a time limit.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be too outrageous?

"Then President, you should eat something too." Xiangzi brought the remaining half of the pudding and tiramisu to the two of them: "We will be staying here for a long time."

"Toyokawa-san, you haven't had lunch yet, have you?"

"I'm not hungry……"

Before Xiangzi could finish his words, his stomach made a series of gurgling sounds.

She lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.

Shirakawa Haru stared at the caramel pudding on the fork above his head, and suddenly thought that since the controller of the barrier could see them, then there was no reason why Yuki, who had "inserted his eyes", could not see him and Xiangzi.

As both are modifiers, there is no reason why one can be viewed while the other cannot.

What's more, Yuki, who is keen on leveling up, also has a second-stage modifier, which is extremely powerful.

——Based on his understanding of his sister, even if it’s not 100%, there is at least a 99% chance that Yuki Suho has inserted a virtual camera in the student council room.

I guess there is more than one.

——There’s no movement yet, it’s just that Yuki is not worried at all about the minor injury she suffered.

Thinking of this, Shirakawa Haru picked up a piece of caramel pudding and brought it to Xiangzi's mouth:

"Come on, Saki-chan, open your mouth~"

Chapter 14 "You two need to kiss for a minute"

What's this all of a sudden?

Looking at the fork getting closer and closer, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but lean back slightly to avoid Shirakawa Haru's feeding.

Then he looked at Baichuan Qing with a questioning and strange look: "President, what do you want to do?"

——Ah, I failed as expected.

Shirakawa Haru lowered his hands, feeling a little regretful.

His relationship with Xiangzi was far from good enough to feed each other, and it was also impossible to expect Xiangzi to believe in him without any reason.

If Yuki or Chihaya Aine were here, they would probably understand the meaning of his eyes—and accept the feeding without knowing why.

But Toyokawa Shoko doesn't know that.

It's not that she would never accept food from others, but rationality wouldn't let her believe Shirakawa Haru for no reason.

Shirakawa Haru believes that if Xiangzi were told the whole story, he would definitely not be stingy with this little bit of self-esteem.

——As for why you didn’t say it?

He felt that Yuki was not stupid enough to miss the opportunity to watch the show after knowing that it was a staged show.

That's right, if Yuki could see his brother making a fool of himself, he would definitely hold popcorn in his left hand and happy water in his right hand, and then clap and cheer more.

——Well, showing affection with Saki made Yuki angry and asked a bunch of people to enter the student council room, causing the mastermind behind the scenes to fail before it even started.

Then, there are only two paths left.
