Real teaching, but diary flow

Chapter 99 What High School Boys Desire

The piece of meat on the knife tip slid down. Staring at the piece of meat that had fallen back onto the plate, Asakusa Toru put down the knife and switched to chopsticks.

While a knife is useful for cutting, the deeper you stab, the less stable the meat becomes.

Just like Kikyo Kushida right now.

It's fine to easily manipulate her by using her weaknesses, but if you keep poking at her, she'll have to self-destruct.

Therefore, know when to stop.

"If I were really going to make things difficult, I would have taken your clothes away just now." With a casual air, Asakusa Tetsu uttered something truly terrifying.

After considering the consequences of actually doing that, Kikyo Kushida's face fell:

"Are you a devil?"

If she really did that, even if Asakusa Tetsu opened the door himself, she probably wouldn't dare to step out even an inch.

...It's all my fault for having such a brain fart and trying to do something like the perfect taxi ride.

"So, I didn't make things difficult for you." Asakusa Tetsu said softly, as if to prove this point.

Kushida Kikyo: "......"

"Alright, alright, you're not making things difficult for me, so I'll ask it another way." With a sigh, Kikyo Kushida decided not to pursue the matter further: "What do you want to do?"

"Are you planning to use the photos and recordings to blackmail me, testing my limits step by step until you turn me into your toy? Or do you want me to become your spy, an informant planted in Class D? Or do you simply want to squeeze money out of my wallet and make me pay you points again and again?"

"Or is it a combination of all of the above?"

Kikyo Kushida gently patted her cheeks, a very serious expression on her face.

“If you’re going to do that, then I’ll call the police and drop out of school.”

Kikyo Kushida is an animal that lives for 'superiority'.

She enjoyed the feeling of being superior, the feeling of being trusted by others, and the sense of superiority of being far better than others in everything.

Therefore, being trampled underfoot by others, having her clothes placed aside in utter humiliation, and adopting a submissive posture of bowing down was something she would never have done.

That was just a moment of being blinded by emotions; there's absolutely no way I would act so irrationally a second time.

If Asakusa Tetsu's goal is to shatter her sense of superiority, then it's better to fight to the death.

“You won’t do that.” Asakusa Tetsu shook his head, and before Kushida Kikyo could sneer, he said softly, “And I don’t intend to do that either.”

"If I had to say, you're the one who came to me of your own accord."

“If you hadn’t caused trouble on my rooftop, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.”

After all, he never intended to capture Kikyo Kushida in the first place. He didn't even capture Masumi Kamuro, who was the easiest target. Why would he want to capture Kikyo Kushida?

"So, according to you, it's my fault?" Kikyo Kushida laughed in exasperation, especially seeing Toru Asakusa's 'what else?' expression, which made her even angrier.

This guy always manages to say things that infuriate her.

But there's no point in continuing to argue about who's right and who's wrong; even if you win the argument, it won't change the current outcome.

and......

"What do you mean by 'your rooftop'?" She suddenly remembered a question that had puzzled her on the rooftop: "So, how the hell did you open the door?"

She was puzzled as to how Asakusa Tetsuichi, a student, opened that electronic door.

"Ms. Kushida, is it possible that I opened that door, I turned off the power, and that rooftop was originally mine?"

Actually, there's no logic to this statement, but Asakusa Tetsu doesn't need logic.

With a universal room key in hand, any space behind an electronic door is his.

That's right! Your dorm room is mine too!

"...I completely cannot understand your logic." Kikyo Kushida's expression was strange.

This guy is completely inexplicable.

However, she was also starting to get used to Asakusa Tetsu's inexplicable behavior.

“It’s okay, you just need to know that the rooftop is mine,” Asakusa Tetsu said. “But this can’t go on like this. After all, even if I told you I didn’t plan to do anything, you probably wouldn’t believe me.”

"So, instead of saying I have no intention of doing anything, I might as well actually ask you to do something!"

Asakusa Tetsu clasped his hands together, arriving at a perfect conclusion.

As long as he actually does something, Kikyo Kushida won't have to worry anymore!

Saying that you have no other desires or purposes will always make people suspect that you want to use this as leverage to gain more, but if you are only after a certain purpose, people will immediately understand that this is what you really want.

"You're under a lot of pressure."

"Or rather, maintaining a superficial friendliness and friendly relations with everyone is a very stressful thing for you."

"But you have no intention of revealing your true self."

"So you chose to run to the rooftop, to a place where you thought no one would find you, and started cursing, trying to relieve the pressure in this way."

With his hands crossed repeatedly and his index fingers tapping back and forth, Asakusa Toru directly revealed his psychological analysis.

This information didn't require a God's-eye view; it was something he could deduce simply from what he had just seen on the rooftop.

"But obviously, the rooftop is not as safe as you think."

“There are many ways to relieve stress. Shouting into a tree hole is indeed a good way, but obviously the effect of venting without a person to respond to is still a bit less.”

"But if you were to just find anyone to be your dumping ground, I imagine you wouldn't feel comfortable doing that, since you don't intend to expose your true self to anyone."

“But if… I accidentally saw your true colors, then I… might be the right person to be you.” Asakusa Tetsu paused slightly, not paying attention to Kushida Kikyo’s expression, and continued, “If I were to become your emotional dumping ground, your stress would be easily relieved.”

"But the key point is that I don't want to be someone else's emotional dumping ground, accepting a lot of negative emotions dumped on me by others."

At this point, Asakusa Tetsu raised his head and looked at Kushida Kikyo.

“Unless I’m more than just a dumping ground,” he said.

Suddenly, he changed the subject and began talking about seemingly unrelated things:

"Miss Kushida, do you know what a normal, healthy high school boy would like and desire the most?"

"A surge of hormones, repressed sexual fantasies, and the desire for freedom that arises from breaking away from one's parents and family."

Just as Kikyo Kushida was about to give an answer about the opposite sex, Tetsu Asakusa snapped his fingers and gave a completely different answer.

"That's right, it's power."

Chapter 100 Sticking

"Do you think I'd say someone of the opposite sex? Or do you think my answer would be a vibrant, youthful romance?"

After glancing at Kikyo Kushida, Toru Asakusa shrugged and nodded.

"Hmm, that would probably be the correct answer."

"But if you think about it carefully, you'll understand that those are just byproducts of power."

"Is one's personal cultivation and accumulated knowledge enough to attract others with personal charm or value?"

“Strength and confidence are equal, and strength is linked to the self.” He paused again, then smiled. “Of course, this is just my life principle, my values, and my personal thoughts.”

"Going back to the question, you're right. High school boys naturally crave the youthful beauty and unknown 'physical bodies' of the opposite sex."

He spread his hands.

"There's no need to hide it or be shy; this is a natural 'reaction' that a healthy body would have."

"..." Kikyo Kushida was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "So, you want to date me?"

This is a perfectly reasonable conclusion.

Asakusa Tetsu talked a lot of nonsense, from his own stress to being an emotional dumping ground, and then he said something about unless he was more than just a dumping ground, and then immediately started rambling on about the desires of male high school students.

Longing for youth, longing for love, longing for the opposite sex.

Ultimately, isn't the message they're trying to convey simply that they want to connect with themselves?

...When this conclusion was reached, Kikyo Kushida suddenly felt that the fog in her mind about the man named Toru Asakusa had dissipated a little.

"...Are you sick?" But Asakusa Tetsu's next sentence only added to the mystery.

"I was trying to explain the logic to you, and you actually want to be my girlfriend?" Asakusa Tetsu exclaimed in shock, "Who the hell wants to date you?"

How could a woman born of a mother possibly want to date her?

Girlfriends are such a hassle. If you really become a girlfriend, how can you be so shameless as to write a diary of her persecution, or even tease her emotions?

In that case, should he still receive the diary reward?

Seriously, how could any woman think she could outdo a diary?

"...Then what do you want to do?" Kikyo Kushida could no longer muster any emotion to respond in a heated tone.

In that short hour, her emotions were like a rollercoaster, going up and down countless times. Her heartbeat went from pounding to calm. It's not hard to imagine how thrilling the rollercoaster experience Asakusa Toru gave her.

However... even though Asakusa Tetsu didn't intend to use his weakness to blackmail me into dating, which should be a happy thing, why do I feel like I'm being looked down upon?

"A little kiss." With a blank expression, Asakusa Tetsu uttered the simple two words, paused for a moment, and then added, "Or to be more precise, a 'hug'."

“I heard a saying a long time ago: ‘We need four hugs a day to survive, eight hugs to keep us energized, and twelve hugs to grow.’ There are many theories that also explain that hugging is a very important source of emotional energy. Close physical contact, the transfer of body temperature, and the exchange of breath can easily mobilize various hormones secreted in the body.”

"Similarly, hugging seems to be a very effective way to relieve stress. For some people, no matter how much anger they suffer at work or how much pressure they are under at work, a hug when they get home can give them a good spur to continue to work obediently the next day."

"To be honest, I'm very curious about this kind of mentality. I'm also quite curious to know how powerful the so-called 'hug' really is, and how it compares to the incentive of money."

He was indeed quite curious, but not as curious as he was actually appearing to be.

After all, if he really wanted to explore the effects of hugging on the secretion of physiological hormones, he could have gone to Ichinose.

I believe Ichinose will smile broadly and open her arms wide.

Moreover, in terms of size, which gives people a sense of warmth, Ichinose is better than Kikyo Kushida.

However, it was enough as an explanation that Kikyo Kushida could accept.

After all, there are things he'd like to try.

What Ichinose couldn't do, perhaps only Kikyo Kushida could.

"...How disgusting." After a long silence in the face of Asakusa Tetsu's long-winded explanation, Kushida Kikyo said with a very unpleasant expression, "In the end, isn't it all about wanting my body?"

"At first, they say it's just a hug, just skin-to-skin contact, but in the end, they always sneakily touch each other. When they're caught, they pretend it's just touching, saying that since they're already hugging, it's okay to touch, right? They start by touching the hands and gradually move towards places they shouldn't go. Then they can openly say that since they've already touched each other, it's okay to just rub against each other, as long as they don't go inside, nothing has happened..."

She rattled off a long string of words that even she herself found slightly nauseating. After a moment's pause, Kikyo Kushida said, word by word:

"In the end, you're just a filthy bastard with that kind of thinking."

"Wow." Asakusa Toru raised an eyebrow.

So why do you know so much?

“You’re right, but I don’t want to waste time repeating what I’ve already said—if I wanted to hurt you, I would have done it already.” Shrugging, Asakusa Toru rang the service bell and then took out his personal terminal:

"Bill, please."

The personal points were deducted without hesitation, and then Asakusa Tetsu stood up.

"In short, this is my proposal. Whether you can accept it or not is up to you to consider." Looking down at Kikyo Kushida, who was sitting in her seat seemingly lost in thought, Toru Asakusa said softly, "You have my contact information. If you want to give it a try, contact me."

Personally, I still hope you can trust me a little more.

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the booth.

Just as Kikyo Kushida thought he was leaving, suddenly, a gentle breeze brushed past her ear. Toru Asakusa turned around, bent down, and whispered in her ear in a remarkably soft and gentle voice:

"By the way, I will cherish and use the photos of the rooftop, so don't mind them too much."

"You—" Kikyo Kushida turned her head, biting her lip, but couldn't shout out her curses. She could only swallow her anger and curse silently in her heart.

...Tell me the fuck how I'm supposed to trust you?
