In the time loop, I do whatever I want

"That damned A-Cheng! He actually made me lose seven times in a row!"

Nakano Nino thought to herself with great shame.

At this time, Shiyu was also the person who shared the same thoughts as her.

She never expected to be so bold in front of another girl.

This shame is just like the shame she felt when she exposed her rope bondage fantasies to Yukino.

"Quiet down, everyone!"

As the teachers arrived one by one, the students who had been whispering to each other immediately shut up.

Standing in the crowd, Makoto Fushimi watched the principal slowly walk onto the stage. He was lost in thought when his senses suddenly caught two familiar scents.

He subconsciously turned around and, sure enough, saw those two mature and beautiful figures at the entrance of the stadium—Mrs. Yukinoshita and Sayuri Sawamura.

He was somewhat surprised by their sudden arrival, but then he thought that they must have learned about today's events from their respective daughters, so it was normal for them to take the time to come over.

The principal on the stage was speaking at a leisurely pace. He first talked about the upcoming national mock exam, and then casually mentioned the sports festival.

The applause from the audience was sporadic, clearly indicating that no one wanted to hear this.

Until the principal said with a smile, "Now, please welcome Makoto Fushimi to the stage to give a speech. You probably don't need me to introduce him, right? He's been making headlines and rumors at school for the past few months."

This time, the applause immediately became more enthusiastic.

They enjoy hearing news about Makoto Fushimi, whether it's news or gossip.

Everyone enjoys watching the drama unfold; no one can resist that.

Under everyone's gaze, Makoto Fushimi calmly stepped onto the stage, a position from which he could clearly see the faces of everyone below.

The first row contains teachers like Hiratsuka Shizuka and Matsukaze Mayu.

He could even clearly see the expressions of the two beautiful women behind him.

Fushimi Makoto didn't seem nervous at all. He first exchanged a glance with the two beautiful figures, then naturally smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't want to come and give a speech. Those who know me know that I prefer to slack off..."

He said helplessly, spreading his hands: "But there's nothing I can do. The principal lost to me repeatedly in a game of chess yesterday. In the end, he got so frustrated that he decided to force me to come and give a speech."

"Oh~"

A burst of laughter and jeers erupted from the audience.

Makoto Fushimi pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, which everyone assumed was his speech, but he suddenly started stammering: "This, that..."

This scene left everyone looking puzzled.

"Could there be a problem with the speech?" Sawamura Sayuri couldn't help but get excited; she was really looking forward to seeing Fushimi Makoto make a fool of himself.

Mrs. Yukinoshita calmly said, "He's pretending to be stupid."

"Huh? How can you be so sure?"

"Because I'm familiar with it...it's nothing."

Mrs. Yukinoshita quickly shut her mouth.

She wanted to say that she knew all too well how awful that guy was.

But she was afraid her best friend would ask her questions.

She's still angry about what happened that night.

She was angry not only at Fushimi Makoto's wickedness, but also at her best friend's thieving behavior.

Yukino, standing in the crowd, remained calm; she too had guessed that Makoto Fushimi was putting on an act.

The next second, under everyone's astonished gazes, Makoto Fushimi flicked a piece of white paper and said, "I told you long ago that there was no need to prepare a speech. It's such a hassle."

As soon as he finished speaking, he held up what he called his speech manuscript to show everyone, and then everyone realized that it was just a blank sheet of paper without a single word on it.

A round of applause erupted from the audience, accompanied by various bursts of laughter.

"As expected of Fushimi, he can still do abstract things even in such a formal setting." Aota, who is on good terms with Fushimi Makoto, laughed heartily.

Hayato Hayama, who was standing nearby, laughed and said, "This isn't abstract; he's just treating this place like a stand-up comedy show."

"Oh, so it seems he has a talent for being a comedian?"

"I think it's okay."

Once everyone quieted down, Makoto Fushimi grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and said, "I can probably guess what you want to hear. It's nothing more than those weird CP (couple) comments online, or you're curious about the fun things that happened during filming, right?"

"Yes! Also, I ship you and Yukinoshita!"

"I'm on your side and Ichika's side!"

"I think it's not a bad idea for you and Hayato Hayama to be together."

"Holy crap, Nan Tong is here too!"

"..."

As the atmosphere heated up, Makoto Fushimi raised his hand to quiet everyone down: "Whether you believe it or not, I have no interest in filming. The reason I'm leading everyone to work hard to complete a short film is purely because I want to be in the limelight."

There was even more laughter below.

If Makoto Fushimi hadn't said those things, some people at school would have been jealous and speculated that he just wanted to show off.

But now that he's directly "making fun of himself," those voices have completely disappeared.

"I suddenly realized that he seems quite suitable to run for student council president," the principal said with a smile from a short distance away.

The leader next to him was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "You know what, his temperament and mindset are very suitable for that position. Most importantly, he's very popular."

Chapter 315 Tennis Skirt

The once quiet gymnasium gradually became lively as Fushimi Makoto started talking.

Even those students who hadn't slept well the night before stopped daydreaming and looked at Fushimi Makoto on stage with expressions that said, "I want to see what's going on."

"Alright, let's stop joking and get down to business."

Fushimi Makoto suddenly adopted a serious tone.

Is the big one coming?

Many people in the audience perked up, thinking that Makoto Fushimi was finally going to respond to those CP (couple) comments.

Hiratsuka Shizuka recalled what Fushimi Makoto had said in the principal's office that day: "I'm planning to give the students some perks."

She felt that Fushimi Makoto's sudden seriousness was most likely about to bring up this topic.

Under everyone's concerned gaze, Fushimi Makoto casually glanced at his classmates: "Recently, I've been giving a friend extra lessons... well, you could call it tutoring her."

Eriri blushed, feeling inexplicably happy when he mentioned her.

Makoto Fushimi continued, "Because she has recently become very diligent in her studies, sometimes she doesn't even have time to eat lunch, so I specially brought her a bento box."

"Oh~ He delivers lunchboxes to girls every day!" Some classmates chuckled knowingly.

Eriri's face grew even rosier.

She was inwardly embarrassed and annoyed: Why did Fushimi have to tell everyone about this? Does he want to ask me out again? I will never agree to that again!

"Please don't laugh, everyone. I know you've misunderstood. What I'm trying to say is that I've been observing students on my way to deliver lunchboxes lately, and I've noticed that some students at school aren't financially well-off. It's probably because their elders are too busy, so they don't have lunchboxes and can only afford cheap bread for lunch..."

As soon as Fushimi Makoto finished speaking, the students who were laughing immediately stopped, and their faces were replaced by expressions of astonishment.

Some people sympathized with the students who were in poor circumstances, while others wondered why Makoto Fushimi was saying this.

This includes Yukino and the others.

Even though they knew Fushimi Makoto quite well, they couldn't guess what he was thinking at this moment.

It wasn't until Makoto Fushimi revealed the answer himself: "Because I was forced to give this speech by the headmaster, he gave me a promise..."

He paused deliberately, looking at the group of curious faces below: "What do you all think of the prices of the food in our cafeteria?"

"A bit expensive!"

"I think it's okay, but sometimes a lot of the dishes aren't very tasty."

My assessment is: it's better to eat bread.

Fushimi Makoto immediately turned around and smiled at the surprised principal: "Principal, did you hear that? Shouldn't we start from this point, at the very least to improve everyone's meals?"

The principal was taken aback, but immediately made a decision: "No problem, I will work hard in this regard to try to make sure everyone eats better while saving some money."

The students below immediately cheered.

"So that's what he planned all along? He really stole the show today," Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but laugh.

Matsukaze Mayu covered her mouth and chuckled: "I suspect he's had this idea before, but he just hasn't found the opportunity."

Hiratsuka Shizuka paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "You know, given his habit of thinking long-term, it's not impossible that possibility exists."

The five Nakano sisters were also cheering; they were also members of the "No-Bento Association".

Besides, they've already been spoiled by Nino's superb cooking skills. Although it's not that they can't eat the cafeteria food, they can eat better food every time they go home. With that comparison, they naturally feel a headache.

Yukino smiled, and when Fushimi Makoto's gaze swept over her, she subtly nodded her chin at him in approval.

She admired Fushimi Makoto's behavior, or rather, she was happy that he could consider so many things. At least she herself had never thought about it in this way, nor had she ever observed it.

Once the cheers in the stadium subsided a bit, Makoto Fushimi smiled and said, "Alright, I've said what I needed to say. I know you've all been itching to have a good interrogation of me. So, since we still have a little time, please raise your hands to ask questions."

As soon as these words were spoken, the cheers in the venue quickly amplified, and the excitement on the faces of the students could no longer be contained.

"Is this even possible?" A leader standing next to the principal was stunned.

The principal chuckled, "Let him be, everyone likes it this way anyway."

You really spoil him!

The leaders exchanged glances and remained silent in tacit agreement.

Makoto Fushimi randomly pointed to a male classmate, whose face turned red with excitement: "Fushimi-kun, I saw a video online a couple of days ago. I saw someone in the comments saying that you taught seven bullies a lesson with your bare hands. Is that true?"

"It's fake. I only took down two of them. I didn't dare to touch the other five."

Upon receiving this answer, the students in the audience were not disappointed at all; on the contrary, they became even more excited.

Next up was a long-haired girl: "Fushimi-kun, what do you think of the recent study craze that's sweeping our school?"

Makoto Fushimi: "Of course I'll just sit and watch... Just kidding. I think it's great this way. It would be even better if everyone could participate and improve together."

The girl laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid that someone will surpass you and become the new number one in the grade? You know, just a few of my friends admire you a lot. Now that you've said this, they might even start thinking about surpassing you."

Makoto Fushimi pondered, "Admiration creates distance, and surpassing it requires the determination to become mortal enemies. Does that mean I'm going to become the public enemy of the entire school?"

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Then all sorts of questions arose, and Fushimi Makoto answered each one as he had been told.

Of course, when it came to questions about shipping (CP) comments, he would always offer his usual all-purpose answer: "I have the following points to make regarding this matter, but we don't have much time today, so I'll try to keep it brief..."

Under his monologue, which sounded like a Buddhist monk chanting sutras, the students who wanted to watch the drama got a headache from listening, and finally sat back down, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The speech finally ended, but Makoto Fushimi didn't return to the group; instead, he cleverly slipped away.

Because he sensed that many students still wanted to "interrogate" him, as long as he stayed by the principal's side, the students wouldn't dare to come looking for him.

That noon, Fushimi Makoto tutored Eriri as usual, but before Nino's divine power could take effect, a large group of students spontaneously returned to the classroom to start doing practice problems.

"I've finally managed to stir up the winds of involution."

Fushimi thought to himself.

After school, in the club activity room, Makoto Fushimi listened to Yotsuba Nakano talking about the sports festival, saying that she might be participating in several events.

At first, Makoto Fushimi thought she was helping out everywhere again, but after asking her carefully, he learned that she was doing it voluntarily this time.

"I want to improve too." Nakano Yotsuba raised her little fist and looked at Fushimi Makoto with admiration.

"Why are you staring at me if you want to improve?" Fushimi Makoto asked.

Nino Nakano's voice came from the side: "Many classmates are studying on their own today because of your speech. Everyone thinks you are right. It's not a bad thing to keep improving."

Yotsuba Nakano nodded her little head vigorously: "Fushimi, are you going to participate in the sports festival too? If so, we can fight side by side again."

Everyone else's eyes immediately fell on Fushimi Makoto.

“I wasn’t really interested in participating, but since you’ve said so, as your most reliable comrade, I’ve decided to go up and have some fun.” Fushimi Makoto smiled.

"Just playing around? Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?" Ichika Nakano joked.
