Cote : I Just Want to Grant Your Wish!

"What's going on here?"

"Honami-chan seems suspicious."

"What were you all talking about earlier?"

"By the way, what are you looking at? Let me see that menu too. I'm curious about what you ordered."

His phone in his pocket had been vibrating non-stop.

When Kaoru Mitoma took it out, he found that Amikura Mako had already sent him several messages.

Does this girl have a hidden explosive side?

'If you have something to say, say it to my face.'

As soon as he sent the message, Amakura Mako immediately replied.

"No, it's awkward talking to you in front of them, and Honami-chan gives me a strange vibe."

'What's wrong with her?'

"I don't know, it's a woman's intuition. She just showed hostility toward me."

"Mitoma-kun, would you like to try some black tea?" Ichinose Honami moved closer.

Amikura Mako, who had been typing on her phone, suddenly stopped and stared intently at Kaoru Mitoma.

Kaoru Mitoma put away his phone.

Her shoulder was very close, almost touching his and her soft breast pressed against his arm once again.

"Then let's have black tea. Drinking coffee in the morning isn't good for your health."

With that, Kaoru Mitoma handed the menu to Ichinose Honami.

"What desserts would you like?" Ichinose Honami asked everyone and Kobashi Yume eagerly raised her hand.

"I want a strawberry sundae!"

Amikura Mako suddenly said "I'll have a cup of black tea too."

"Mako-chan, aren't you going to eat something?" Ichinose Honami tilted her head.

"But you and Mitoma-kun haven't ordered yet, have you?" Amikura Mako said.

"Or have you already eaten?"

"I already ate at the restaurant earlier, sorry." Ichinose Honami replied apologetically

"Just the two of you?" Amikura Mako pressed on.

At that moment, Shiranami Chihiro interjected.

"It's because Mitoma-kun accidentally twisted his ankle, so Honami-chan brought him here."

Amikura Mako was taken aback, then pouted.

"Clumsy guy."

Clearly, she was referring to Kaoru Mitoma.

"Not as clumsy as you" Kaoru Mitoma retorted.

"Even an idiot knows to go to the infirmary right away" Amikura Mako glared at him.

"You don't think it'll heal on its own, do you?"

"Is that from personal experience?"

"I was in pain for two days and it's only now that I feel better. You should hurry to the infirmary." This slightly awkward concern was probably the best the girl could muster at the moment.

"Mako-chan is right, a sprained ankle is no small matter" Ichinose Honami said seriously.

"I'll take you to the infirmary later, so behave."

As she spoke, she blinked.

Even Kaoru Mitoma couldn't help but feel a bit of pressure now.

Because not only was Amikura Mako watching him like a hawk, but Shiranami Chihiro across from him was also staring intently.

"Well, if it isn't Ichinose and Mitoma?"

A very arrogant voice rang out, and soon Ryuen Kakeru figure appeared before them.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Mitoma, you're quite the lucky guy. Mind if I sit next to you?"

Despite saying this, Ryuuen casually pulled up a chair and sat down next to Kaoru Mitoma.

Behind him were a few students from Class C, apparently on a group outing.

"Actually, I envy you more" Kaoru Mitoma greeted the girls behind him.

"Long time no see, Ibuki-san, Shiina-san."

"Yeah, long time no see Mitoma-kun" Shiina Hiyori responded dully,her gaze somewhat unfocused with a few strands of messy hair falling from her shoulders to her chest.

Ibuki Mio glanced at him coldly, crossing her arms without giving any response.

"Does your gaze only ever linger on girls?" Ryuuen Kakeru smirked.

"Mitoma, since we have the chance, why don't we review the results of the deserted island exam now?"

"Ryuuen-kun, the exam is already over" Ichinose Honami frowned.

"Haha, aren't you curious how this guy managed to pull it off?" Ryuuen shot back.

Kaoru Mitoma looked at Amikura Mako, who had lowered her head, lost in thought.

"Rather than the exam results, I think there's something else you should be more concerned about right now."

Faced with Kaoru Mitoma calm demeanor, Ryuuen Kakeru fell silent.

The "something else" was, of course, the deal the two of them were well aware of.

"Your Class A didn't attack the others, did you?"

"The agreement didn't specify that we had to attack. We just wanted to know their names" Kaoru Mitoma replied after a moment of thought.

"If I recall correctly, if the information was incorrect, you were supposed to compensate us… How many points was it again?"

Ryuuen Kakeru face darkened. "The agreement also didn't state that we had to provide entirely correct answers. Isn't it normal to have two possible answers?"

Kaoru Mitoma raised an eyebrow. "Are you planning to deceive me? Don't forget, I'm the vice president of the student council and I'm quite close with the president."

At this point, Ryuuen Kakeru fell silent again, then sneered.

"You're just as despicable as I am."

On the other side, Ichinose Honami was bewildered.

The conversation between the two seemed to hide some important secret.

"Ichinose, you'd better be careful with this man. One day, he'll sell you out without hesitation" Ryuuen Kakeru warned, though his tone seemed almost kind.

In the deserted island exam, it was undoubtedly Class C that suffered the most.

They attacked all three classes simultaneously and were attacked by all three in return, losing three million personal points in the process. (From the deal with class A)

Ryuuen Kakeru began to wonder if approaching them had been a mistake.

"Let's go, Hiyori, Ibuki."

He had originally hoped to have Shiina Hiyori help probe the situation, but now it seemed like a wasted effort.

It was better to leave early.

Shiina Hiyori had just returned from the counter, holding a steaming cup of coffee.

Seeing Ryuuen about to leave, she whispered a goodbye to Kaoru Mitoma.

The members of Class C came and went quickly, leaving Ichinose Honami still processing what had just happened.

"That was really scary. I heard he used to be a gang leader" Kobashi Yume said, still shaken.

She felt like Ryuuen could make ten of her cry with a single punch.

"Mitoma-kun seems to know a lot of girls," Ichinose remarked, her focus oddly misplaced.

"We met in the library before" Kaoru Mitoma explained. "I was helping Kamuro-san with her studies at the time and Shiina-san also helped out."

"I see," Ichinose smiled faintly.

After a while of drinking, Ichinose took the opportunity to leave the café with Kaoru Mitoma.

Although it was somewhat frustrating, it was clear that the date couldn't continue today.

"Don't go to bed too early these nights. I'll message you and we can sneak out to have some fun in the evening."

Ichinose blushed slightly but earnestly instructed Kaoru Mitoma.

The two of them, like most couples, finally made a such a sweet promise.
