Miura Yumiko hadn't thought much of it at first, but when she saw the "mine cart" being pushed out of the classroom, her eyes suddenly sharpened - wasn't this so-called "carriage" a little too narrow? If that was the case, then they must have been squeezed tightly together when they were riding just now!
So enviable... Pah! So despicable! How could they do something so disciplinary and infuriating to the Ministry of Supervision?
This might all be the conspiracy of this inherently evil blue-haired little devil! She absolutely cannot continue to act so recklessly.
Just then, Miura Yumiko casually suggested, "That sounds interesting. Hmm... since we've met here by chance, why don't we go shopping together? Events like school celebrations are definitely more fun with more people."
"Don't you agree, Shiina-san?"
As she spoke, Miura Yumiko turned her head and winked at Shiina Tatsuki while asking.
You also said that there is no way you could possibly like Matsueda Azusa!
Shiina Riki couldn't help but complain in his heart, but on the surface he immediately nodded and said: "I have no objection either."
She certainly had no reason or qualifications to ask Matsueda Azusa out alone, but... if she were with someone else, it wouldn't seem like she had any ulterior motives. Being able to hide her own thoughts behind others, Shiina Riki felt she could seize this opportunity—and more importantly, hinder Yamada Ryo's offensive and progress.
Yamada Ryo looked at the two struggling losers with pity and said tolerantly, "That's fine, isn't it? Then play together. I have no objection."
They actually wanted to stop her? But that was impossible. They certainly couldn't have predicted that she would have already A'd it, and A'd it all.
Since no one else had any objections, there was no need for Matsueda Azusa to refuse. Besides… he did feel that Yamada Ryo had just said something close to a confession to him, and if the two of them continued to stay together, the atmosphere would become a little awkward. Having someone else intervene was a huge help.
He also needed time to sort out his feelings - he had to admit, when Yamada Ryo said to him "You like me" just now, he really felt his heart moved.
However, in the eyes of other people around them, Matsueda Azusa and others are very worthy of attention.
One male student even knelt down and hammered the wall in anger, crying out, "I hate men who are pursued by women the most! Seeing them is annoying! Speaking of this, I find it strange. Shouldn't the gender ratio be roughly the same all over the world? If that's the case, then why don't any girls like me? Yeah, the answer is simple! It's because of people like this who disrupt order! Because of people like this, the declining birthrate and aging population are rising exponentially! Damn it, at least give me one!"
"Where's the department that was supposed to monitor relationships between men and women? How could they be stealing from the inside? Where are the teachers and the student council? Come and rescue them!"

Chapter 162 Yamada Ryo’s attack was extremely fierce.
Unfortunately, their wailing was of no use.
Because power is the reason for being a king.
"Then let's go."
As Yamada Ryo said this, he naturally extended his hand towards Matsueda Azusa's arm.
"Snapped."
At this moment, before she could touch Matsueda Azusa, the outstretched hand was quickly grasped by Miura Yumiko.
Miura Yumiko showed no intention of stopping Yamada Ryo. After a moment's silence, she began to exchange pleasantries: "By the way, we haven't met each other yet. Why don't you introduce yourself? I'm Miura Yumiko, a member of the club founded by Matsueda."
Matsueda Azusa, who was standing by, raised an eyebrow. He had just thought that Yamada Ryo was going to directly hold his hand, but it turned out that he was just shaking hands with Miura Yumiko. He was shocked.
Yamada Ryo looked at Miura Yumiko deeply and smiled back: "I am Matsueda's friend, Yamada Ryo."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Shiina Riki, who seemed relieved, and said, "Shouldn't we need to introduce ourselves again?"
Shiina Riki was stunned for a moment. Faced with Yamada Ryo's teasing, she was a little embarrassed for a moment, but her eyes soon became firm again.
She gathered herself together, looked directly at Yamada Ryo and said, "That's probably true. However, although we knew each other before, we didn't seem particularly familiar. To me, you're probably just Hai Ling's friend, and to you, I'm probably just that."
Then, Shiina Riki extended his hand to Yamada Ryo and said, "So, I also want to be friends with you now. I wonder if you are willing?"
Yamada Ryo didn't expect that Shiina Riki, who had been a little worried and timid just now, actually became tough in front of her. It seemed that Shiina Riki was probably so cautious only when facing Matsueda Azusa. Now he could still speak to her in a nice voice instead of just saying "Huh?". It was probably because of Matsueda Azusa's face.
She naturally couldn't lose her composure, so she immediately shook hands with Shiina Riki: "Of course, I'd be happy to."
But it was just such a simple action that caused her to give up her position, and Miura Yumiko, who had been prepared, took advantage of the opportunity and squeezed directly between Matsueda Azusa and Yamada Ryo, separating the two without making a sound.
When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.
Yamada Ryo quickly noticed Miura Yumiko's little action and couldn't help showing a slightly annoyed look.
She fought one against two people and dealt with them, but she didn't expect that Miura Yumiko would take advantage of the opportunity to pick the peach.
Miura Yumiko reached out and pushed Matsueda Azusa forward, turning back to look at Yamada Ryo and Shiina Riki. "Let's go! We've been here long enough. Besides, how can anyone else get through if we're stuck in this corridor?"
This child is even guarding his food. This is not a good habit.
But, unfortunately, all these efforts were in vain. Compared to the cautious Shiina Tatsuki, who dared not act, and the stubborn Miura Yumiko, who had not yet confirmed her own thoughts, Yamada Ryo had a small advantage that could completely crush them.
Yamada Ryo walked straight to the other side of Matsueda Azusa, held out his hand to him openly, and said with a smile: "Can we hold hands?"
After these words were spoken, both Miura Yumiko and Shiina Riki widened their eyes in disbelief.
How dare this guy? !
How could you say such a thing directly?
Could it be that just now...? !
Even Matsueda Azusa was a little surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that after expressing her feelings, Yamada Ryo's offensive would be so strong.
If he didn't still have a hurdle in his mind and considered mutual understanding as a necessary condition for any relationship, he would have probably been taken down immediately on the spot.
But for a moment, Songzhi Zi hesitated about whether to hold hands or not. Doing so seemed a bit too ambiguous.
As if he had read Matsueda Azusa's mind, Yamada Ryo didn't give him a chance to refuse or change the subject. He took a step back and said, "Then—how about this—how about arm in arm between good friends?"
As she spoke, she reached out and took Songzhi Zi's arm, tilting her head to look at him.
"Well... this is fine."
Matsueda Azusa felt a slight sense of loss for a moment, but she was also relieved. At least compared to holding hands, arm in arm did not seem so ambiguous.
But—clearly, he'd fallen for Yamada Ryo's trick. This was, of course, a perfect application of the "open window theory." When holding hands feels too ambiguous, then arm-in-arm seems to become acceptable.
But in fact, in the eyes of Yumiko Miura and Tatsuki Shiina next to them, it was just as ambiguous!
And what is most surprising is that Matsueda Azusa did not show any resistance to Yamada Ryo's actions.
Miura Yumiko frowned at the thought. Wait, why did she think it was "surprising"? Why did she subconsciously assume that Matsueda Azusa would refuse such a request or behavior? In fact, she didn't remember anyone asking Matsueda Azusa in this way, so there shouldn't be such an unfounded stereotype that he would "definitely refuse".
If she had said that, would Matsueda Azusa refuse? Or would she have accepted it like she was doing now? No, that wasn't right. She couldn't possibly have asked for that.
"Yamada-san, when did you become so familiar and close to Azusa?"
Watching the two people's actions, Shiina Riki seemed a little shaky. She tried her best to suppress the trembling of her voice, and finally couldn't help asking: "From my impression, it seems that you don't have much contact...?"
"If you don't remember, then that means you weren't aware of it when we met, Shiina-san."
Yamada Ryo blinked at Shiina Riki, but then changed the subject: "But, you can't really say that. You actually witnessed the scene where I established a connection with Matsueda, didn't you?"
Shiina Riki and Yamada Ryo both knew what the scene she was talking about was.
It was on the day Crychic fell apart that Yamada Ryo and Matsueda Azusa gave their final performance together.
Shiina Riki finally realized that Yamada Ryo had no chance at all, and she was the one who pushed Matsueda Azusa to Yamada Ryo's side.
Everything she was facing now was just her own fault.
Shiina Riki was silent, but Miura Yumiko didn't care about her and immediately stepped forward to separate Matsueda Azusa and Yamada Ryo again.
She grabbed Matsueda Azusa's arm with one hand and Yamada Ryo with the other, sternly accusing him, "Hugging and kissing in public is outrageous! Matsueda, do you even remember who you are? The head of the Supervisory Department is being so openly intimate with another girl. I find it shameful to see you! The negative impact on the students of Sobu High School is immeasurable!"

Chapter 163: Couple’s Laughter Story: Explosion.
The four of them walked around for a long time in an inexplicable and somewhat weird atmosphere.
During the process, Yamada Ryo tried many times to make more intimate gestures, but most of them were intercepted by Miura Yumiko.
Although Shiina Riki also wanted to help Miura Yumiko, unfortunately she was unable to do so. In this situation, in order to avoid exposing herself, she could only stay by her side and OMO.
Even so, Miura Yumiko's actions, despite openly attempting to obstruct the situation, were too conspicuous and worthy of attention. Even Matsueda Azusa was puzzled more than once—what was wrong with her? Why did she suddenly become like this?
It couldn't possibly be because she liked him, could it? That was definitely impossible. Matsueda Azusa wasn't confident enough to believe that after being maliciously attacked and forced to give up on her relationship, Miura Yumiko would transfer her feelings to him. Those who thought that way were a bit too narcissistic. Matsueda Azusa didn't think she had such extraordinary personal charm.
So after much thought, there was probably only one possibility—Miura Yumiko had completely transformed into her previous state, adopting the mindset of "if I'm not doing well, then you won't either," and wouldn't hesitate to act if she saw any signs of trouble. Not to mention that Matsueda Azusa was the head of the Supervisory Department, which gave her even more reason to intervene.
Azusa Matsueda couldn't help but sigh that Yumiko Miura was the devil he created with his own hands.
However, he didn't stop Miura Yumiko's behavior. In fact, if Yamada Ryo was bothered by this situation, Matsueda Azusa would have said a few words to her, after all, she had just "confessed" to him. But this guy seemed to have started to play with her, as if he was treating this battle of wits and courage with Miura Yumiko as a game, and he was already enjoying it, so Matsueda Azusa naturally just let her go.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for the afternoon performance.
The students gathered in the performance hall. The clubs in front of the stage had already started their performances as planned, and the members of the Supervisory Department had also begun preparations backstage.
As the chairman, Yukinoshita Yukino, holding a schedule and a pager in her hands, stood with the student council president Hibari Torahara, paying close attention to the performance progress on stage to avoid any problems and being prepared to remedy them.
She glanced at the schedule and finally asked Hibari Fanghuyuan the question she had been wanting to ask: "President Fanghuyuan, please allow me to ask you this: what on earth was your student union thinking when it actually agreed to this performance project proposed by the Improper Relationship Monitoring Department of Matsueda Azusa?"
She frowned slightly and analyzed in a serious tone, "Let's not even talk about this performance project. We don't even need to gather other students' opinions or compile data and questionnaires to make predictions. Just from the brief introduction, we can already foresee that it will cause some unmanageable situations. Besides, isn't it a bit inappropriate to put on this kind of so-called 'performance' in front of the entire school?"
Hibari Fanghuhara didn't seem to care about Yukinoshita Yukino's questioning and simply waved his hand casually. "It's okay. Even if there's a small hiccup, it won't affect the school anniversary. Firstly, this show is only being performed as a showcase for the school clubs, and it won't be shown to the public tomorrow during the school anniversary open day. It would be a bit inappropriate if it were tomorrow, but it's not a big deal if it's just on campus."
"Secondly...consider it a bit of a favoritism on my part towards Matsueda. If he hadn't promptly resolved the issues surrounding the Executive Committee, the consequences would have been unpredictable. While he may not have volunteered to help, and likely just stumbled upon it by accident, since he wants to have fun, let him. As the student council president, I still have the authority to approve such a minor matter. This is just a small exercise of power."
Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but shake her head and said bluntly, "You are such a bad student council president."
Hibari Fanghuhara didn't get angry when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and replied, "Sometimes, being bad and being good aren't mutually exclusive. Yukinoshita-san, you'll understand this one day."
Yukinoshita Yukino bluntly retorted, "I don't understand this so-called reasoning. While I'm grateful for some of what Matsueda-san has done, I wouldn't go out of my way to help him with something like this. Rather than trying to make me understand this, it's more accurate to say that President Fang Huyuan's tolerance for Matsueda-san is a bit too high."
"Really? You think so..."
Fanghuyuan Yunque thought about it and simply admitted: "But it's true. It's true that compared to other students, I pay more attention to Songzhi Zi and I am more permissive."
Yukinoshita Yukino didn't expect that Hibari Toranohara would admit it so openly. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and subconsciously asked: "But why is that?"
"That's a private matter between us. Just think of it as me being partial to you for personal reasons."
Fanghuyuan Yunque smiled and raised his index finger to his mouth, making a "silence" gesture: "Okay, it's Songeda and the others' turn to perform. Let's just enjoy the show."
Although Yukinoshita Yukino still wanted to continue asking, she could only give up after seeing this.
Soon, as the curtain on the stage slowly opened, everyone from the Supervisory Department appeared on the stage.
Azusa Matsueda stood in front of the podium, holding a small card in her hand, looking like a very formal host.
On the side were tables and chairs similar to those often seen on quiz shows, for contestants to sit on.
This scene made the students in the audience feel a little confused. They didn't know what strange thing Matsueda Azusa was doing again.
"Although our Improper Relationships Monitoring Department has only been around for a short time, it seems that in the past few weeks, many misunderstandings have arisen about us. Therefore, we would like to use this exhibition as an opportunity to dispel these misconceptions."
Matsueda Azusa spoke righteously, "This exhibition isn't a one-man show for our Supervisory Department. It's a variety show formatted as a quiz. Therefore, we need a few students—preferably couples—to come on stage and help us complete this project."
Of course, it was obvious that as Matsueda Azusa finished speaking, there was indeed a lot of discussion below the stage, but no student was willing to volunteer and take the initiative to go on stage - after all, no one wanted to go up and die, that would be too stupid.
But this was naturally within Matsueda Azusa's expectations.
He only waited three or four seconds before continuing, "Eh? It seems like everyone's willingness isn't very strong. But, even though they're a couple, they don't dare admit their relationship in front of everyone. What's the reason behind this? It's really hard to guess."
"Are you really just afraid of being embarrassed by our Inspection Department? But if you can't even pass our Inspection Department's test, how can you say that you truly and wholeheartedly love each other? Or are you actually having a secret relationship and don't want anyone else to know about your relationship? What's your reason for doing that? To prevent your partner No. 1 from discovering the existence of partners No. 2 and No. 3?"
Of course, Songzhi Zi's choice was to start adding fuel to the fire.
The post that Chihaya Asagumo posted on the campus forum about catching fish with roasted salt and lemon was already quite popular. In addition, Azusa Matsueda deliberately did not ask the administrator to delete the post. Instead, he marked it as a featured post and pinned it to the top. He fanned the flames and instilled relevant ideas into the minds of these students. All of this was of course for this wonderful opportunity.
Because of this, the popularity of that post has not yet subsided. Matsueda Azusa has even heard of many campus couples arguing over disagreements about the post. Therefore, using this point can easily stir up many passionate couples, and even bring their reluctant partners to the stage.
And this will certainly intensify the conflict between them, killing two birds with one stone.
Moreover, in order to ensure the smooth progress of fanning the flames, Azusa Matsueda also arranged a shill under the stage - yes, this was the job that Yamada Ryo was asked to do.

Chapter 164 Death Q&A.
"That makes sense. Those who don't dare to go on stage are probably hiding something, right?"
"Maybe he's actually dating two people at school and he's been hiding it from each other!"
"That must be the case. After all, at an event as important as the school anniversary, no matter how arrogant the Supervisory Department is, they can't do anything out of line, right? They don't even dare to go on a performance like this, which is similar to a variety show. There must be something wrong."
The lights were dim under the stage, and one could barely make out the students around them. This was a godsend opportunity. Following Matsueda Azusa's instructions, Yamada Ryo and Shiina Tatsuki, who happened to be nearby, acted as support, deliberately raising their voices and singing in unison to the rhythm.
Soon, as they diligently steered the conversation, suspicion spread throughout the entire auditorium. Soon, many couples sitting next to each other began questioning each other's lack of courage to step on stage or respond.
The students who didn't have a partner immediately saw this as a great opportunity and immediately joined the firefighting army, agreeing:
"I see those couples around me being so affectionate every day, but it turns out they're just on the surface. If they don't even dare to do that, they must be harboring ulterior motives."
