Cote : I Just Want to Grant Your Wish!

Chapter 703 - 703: Curiosity

Tsubasa Nanase's willingness to join the Student Council was a good thing for Kaoru.["Playing as Konan's mother today, a female knight tomorrow ????????"],

["Want to touch the little puppy's big tail"],

["So cute when smiling, I want to keep her by my side"],

["Bullying this Student Council secretary fiercely"],

["Hold the record book and don't move ♡♡"],

["So adorable, I want to guide her..."]

The reason he invited her to join the Student Council was because she had wishes related to it.

Keeping her close would fulfill one of those wishes.

To be honest, Kaoru was quite curious about Tsubasa Nanase.

A girl with a male persona gave off a rather interesting feeling.

Whether Tsubasa Nanase was merely feigning compliance to gain his trust and deliver a fatal backstab at a critical moment wasn't the main point.

Kaoru didn't particularly care whether Ayanokoji Kiyotaka could remain at ANHS.

Even if Ayanokoji himself ended up expelled, Kaoru would accept that outcome.

Since 283 Agency had discovered his presence, continuing to hide here wasn't a viable solution.

He could only temporarily stabilize the idols, but given time, there was no telling what they might do.

Next month was Tachibana Akane's birthday, and Kaoru planned to have them get to know each other.

Just as they had sent Komiya Kaho over, he would send out Tachibana Akane in return.

With these thoughts in mind, Kaoru arrived early at the classroom.

With exams just a week away, many students in Class 2-A had already successfully formed pairs.

Those who might drag down the team mostly had partners now - Sakayanagi Arisu's strategy was proving effective.

By addressing the issues with the weaker students, their Class 2-A could face this joint exam with greater ease.

Perhaps due to their abundant resources, Sakayanagi Arisu currently refused to accept any first-year students with poor academic records, only taking those with evaluations around C level.

Now only Ryuen Kakeru was competing with Class 2-A for students.

Had Kaoru not intervened to stop Sakayanagi, she might have truly taken all the top first-year students.

With exams approaching and Class 2-A no longer short of partners, Sakayanagi had abandoned her plan to recruit first-years and instead focused on annoying Ryuen, consistently driving up prices to make him pay more.

Therefore, Kaoru paid even less attention to this joint exam.

With such meager rewards, it was likely Tsukishiro Kazunari's design - an exam created specifically to expel someone.

As soon as Kaoru took his seat, Kamuro Masumi beside him began glancing at his expression, whether intentionally or not.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Kaoru found her behavior somewhat strange. "Do you want a good morning kiss?"

Kamuro immediately made a disgusted expression, hugging her arms as if feeling a chill.

Even though they had crossed the final line, her attitude toward him remained completely unchanged.

"Could you not say such disgusting things first thing in the morning?"

Kaoru secretly glanced at her hand and noticed she wasn't wearing the [Wedding Ring] he had given her, feeling slightly disappointed.

However, the girl still had her fair, smooth thighs today.

The absolute territory beneath her skirt carried a somewhat innocent, alluring charm.

Though he couldn't see her full, perky bottom, the faintly outlined curves were enough to spark imagination.

This was the natural youthful charm the girl radiated.

Kaoru felt himself increasingly immersed in the impulsiveness of this age, his mind wandering at the slightest provocation.

Perhaps because he had tasted the forbidden fruit, he could even recall the feel of the girl's touch.

This feeling was too distracting. Kaoru tried hard to shake it off until Sakayanagi Arisu's pretty face appeared before him.

"Thinking of something wicked again? Haven't you been too active lately?"

Their positions were quite close - the distance between front and back desks allowed Kaoru to clearly see Sakayanagi's expression, including her helpless sigh.

"I don't know if you've heard, but a first-year student has been expelled."

"Yagami-kun?"

Kaoru asked, already knowing the answer. "He voluntarily withdrew from school. Some say it's because he offended you."

Sakayanagi Arisu put on a serious expression. "Because he had a crush on Kushida, and you couldn't stand it, so you used the Hypnosis App to order him to withdraw."

Kaoru couldn't help but fall silent.

He had clearly been using real-name verification online, so why were these rumors still circulating?

It seemed he needed to propose to the school that everyone should be banned from using social media like INS, keeping only the school's official software.

"Do you think I shouldn't break the school's rules like this?"

"So you're saying you used something outside the school? I thought you had found some leverage."

"Yagami is from the White Room."

"The White Room? Are you protecting Ayanokoji?"

"If he withdraws, won't you be upset? He's your target. You said you wanted to bury him with your own hands."

"Yes, I intend to bury this hypocritical genius. His achievements today definitely aren't due to what they call the β program. That kind of thing can't turn an ordinary person into the so-called Greatest Masterpiece."

"I didn't plan to get involved in so much initially, but then a small accident occurred."

"Hehehe, so in the end, you still got jealous?"

Kaoru was momentarily speechless. He could have refuted Sakayanagi Arisu, but seeing the girl's smile, he lost the mood to defend himself.

"Quite adorable."

Sakayanagi Arisu reached out and cupped Kaoru's face. "Has anyone ever told you that? Sometimes, you give me the feeling of a child. Only children want everything, while adults are always rational."

Ahem.

Kamuro Masumi couldn't stand it anymore and cleared her throat nearby.

This wasn't the place for the two of them to flirt.

"Aren't you going to call me a pervert now?"

Kaoru grabbed her small hand—soft and warm.

"You are a pervert, that's an undeniable fact."

Sakayanagi Arisu's eyes curved into smiles. "If I got close to Ayanokoji, would you make him withdraw too?"

Kaoru rolled his eyes. It seemed this girl had discovered something new and was trying to manipulate him.

"Your antidote is almost complete."

Hearing this, Sakayanagi Arisu stared at him in a daze.

A light, casual statement, yet it sent the girl's thoughts into disarray.

The more she gazed at his seemingly calm expression, the more she couldn't suppress the turmoil in her heart.

"Hehe, so you can finally do bad things to me?"

The corners of her lips curled into a smile, her eyes carrying a hint of teasing. "As expected, you were after me from the very beginning."

From their first meeting, Kaoru had noticed her difficulty in moving and had pretended to casually ask a few questions.

Even now, Sakayanagi Arisu could still remember every word he had said.

"Just you wait, you little brat."

Kaoru couldn't be bothered to correct her bias against him.

After all, everyone thought he was a lecher, which actually saved him a lot of energy and time.

"I'll just consider it as being bitten by a dog."

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled gently. "As for you, as long as you don't mind. Someone like you will eventually meet their end."

Both Kaoru and Kamuro Masumi felt offended by her words, yet she could still laugh.

"Hehe, Kaoru-kun, if you're worried, I can always take you in. Having one more Masumi-san wouldn't be a problem either."

'It seems I hadn't conditioned her enough before.'

'If I don't get serious, she'll really start overstepping her boundaries.'

Kaoru Mitoma silently took out his phone and showed her a few photos, causing her to immediately freeze.

It was obvious that Sakayanagi Arisu didn't know much about what constituted "bad behavior."

She thought it was just about rubbing against each other to satisfy Kaoru's base desires.

However, Kushida Kikyo's methods would open her eyes to entirely new possibilities.
