Inside the classroom.
Tsubakihara Yuna stared intently at Dongfang You, who was sitting next to her, saying something.
But Dongfang You didn't understand a single word. He tilted his head in confusion and asked Tsubakihara Nina, "What should I do? Your sister seems to be speaking in riddles to me, but I can't understand what she's saying at all."
Tsubakihara Nina frowned slightly and thought for a moment. She raised her hand and tapped on the table, calling out to Dongfang You, "Hey, come here."
Dongfang You: ...
This girl's expression also seemed a bit off.
No need to guess, it must be that the two sisters saw him and Akane Nanami walking hand in hand into the school after he hadn't returned home all night.
Dongfang You, who was an old hand in his previous life, naturally knew their feelings for him very well.
There was a reason for his delay in making a move. After all, saving fallen girls, getting system rewards, and completing the 'slaughter the bull' plan were the primary goals!
Dongfang You still knew which of the two was more important.
So, he stood up, followed Tsubakihara Nina to the corner of the classroom, and whispered, "Nina-chan, what's wrong?"
"What's your relationship with that short-haired girl?"
Dongfang You answered directly, "Girlfriend, lover."
"Re...really?"
Nina didn't expect him to admit it so readily.
"Really."
Dongfang You nodded.
Hide it?
He disdained to do so.
Anyway, things would be discovered by them sooner or later, so it was better to admit it proactively.
Although Mira might lecture him after learning about this, he was not Makoto Itou.
That guy was a typical scumbag who loved to play around.
It was one thing to accept everyone, but the key was that this guy simply didn't take responsibility.
As soon as he heard that a woman was pregnant, he didn't even care.
He deserved to be stabbed to death; it was a miracle he lived for twelve and a half episodes!
Then, he glanced at Nina and said, "Nina-chan, you shouldn't mind, right?"
"What… what does that have to do with me? How… how could I possibly mind?"
Nina's expression tightened, and she quickly waved her hands in denial.
However, Dongfang You noticed a hint of something in her evasive gaze.
"Oh~~"
Dongfang You drew out the sound in realization, then looked at Nina with an understanding expression, thinking to himself, "This girl really does like me."
He turned back to look at Yuna, who was still staring at him with her yin-yang fish eyes.
Why did it feel like… Yu Nai-jiang was about to go dark?
Dongfang You: ...
"You-kun, if… I mean, just hypothetically…"
Nina stammered, "If my sister were to fall in love with you one day, would you break up with that girl named Akane Nanami?"
"No."
"Then you're clearly going to reject my sister, aren't you?"
"Who said that?"
Dongfang You raised an eyebrow and said, "I only said I wouldn't break up, but I never said I would reject Yu Nai-jiang. I want them both!"
Fish, that is what I desire.
Bear's paw, that is also what I desire.
"Uh…"
Nina was momentarily stunned by his scummy remarks.
In this situation, besides standing there foolishly, she couldn't find any words to refute him.
Meanwhile, Yuna, not far away, seemed to have heard Dongfang You's reply. Her previously dim eyes instantly sparkled.
She pursed her lips and smiled faintly, as if she had received some precious treasure.
The two classes in the morning were still Shirakawa-sensei's Chinese class and Teacher Gao Feng's math class.
Unlike before, Dongfang You felt like he was sitting on pins and needles today.
From the start to the end of class, Yuna's small hand, hidden under the desk, never let go of his clothes, as if afraid Dongfang You would slip away.
Dongfang You even felt that if Yuna had a collar and a chain in her hand, she would even be able to tie him up.
"Yu Nai-jiang, I suddenly feel a bit of stomach pain."
Upon hearing this, Yuna tilted her head slightly to glance at Dongfang You beside her and asked, "Need to go to the restroom?"
"Yes, yes!"
Dongfang You nodded vigorously, "I drank cold water this morning and upset my stomach. I can't hold it in."
"Let's go, together."
"Huh?"
Dongfang You froze for a moment. Just as he was about to say no, he felt Yuna's small hand tugging at his clothes from behind.
He turned his head and saw Yuna blinking her clear, watery eyes at him.
After sighing, Dongfang You turned his pleading gaze towards the silent Tsubakihara Nina.
"Sister, that's enough."
Nina had long been unable to bear it. She frowned and said, "This is school; you need to be mindful of your image."
"I won't."
Yuna pouted her lips: "If I let go of You-kun, he'll disappear again for sure."
That makes so much sense.
Nina was speechless.
Dongfang You was also very speechless internally, "Is this a stress response?"
Nina pondered for a moment, then directly said, "But you're not his girlfriend; you have no right to control him."
"This…"
Hearing her sister say this, Yuna also felt there was some truth to it.
After a moment of silence, she seemed to have made some kind of decision deep in her heart.
Then, the small hand tightly gripping Dongfang You's clothes silently let go.
"Alright then."
Seeing Yuna compromise, Dongfang You immediately stood up and walked towards the classroom door.
Nina looked at Yuna, who had returned to her seat and remained silent, opening her small pink mouth, but ultimately saying nothing.
When did You-kun become so popular?
Drinking cold water was a lie, but an upset stomach was real.
Leaving the classroom, Dongfang You immediately transformed into a man like the wind, rushing all the way to the restroom.
When he arrived at the restroom stall and squatted down, the expression on his face suddenly became extremely interesting.
Holy cow!
He actually forgot to bring toilet paper!
And he hadn't stored any toilet paper in his Divine Might Space either…
This was going to be terrible.
Ask a fellow restroom user for help?
He knocked on the walls on both sides and tentatively called out, "Hey, is anyone there? Can you help me out with some toilet paper?"
"...No."
A lazy reply came from inside the stall.
Dongfang You: ...
Damn it, if you don't have paper, why are you even using the restroom!
"System, do you have any?"
"This system does not provide such services."
Damn it—
Dongfang You cursed in his heart.
At this moment, a male voice came from another stall: "I have a little left. If you don't mind, you can have it."
Saying that, the person reached their hand out from under the stall.
A few pieces of toilet paper clearly appeared in Dongfang You's sight.
A hero—
"Okay, thank you."
Dongfang You unceremoniously took the stack of toilet paper.
"No problem."
The male student's voice sounded very gentle and somewhat familiar.
This made Dongfang You feel a bit of goodwill towards him.
After wiping his backside, Dongfang You pulled up his pants, pushed open the stall door, and walked out.
Coincidentally, the male student who had given him the paper also walked out of his stall.
"Thank you."
Dongfang You nodded slightly towards the male student to express his gratitude.
"Azuma."
The male student seemed to recognize him and smiled politely.
"Ah, you're… Aida Yuki?"
Dongfang You carefully scrutinized the male student, then suddenly realized.
They were classmates in the same class. Although they hadn't been classmates for long, Dongfang You had a very deep impression of Aida Yuki.
After all, he was also one of the many unfortunate protagonists.
So, Dongfang Hao took the opportunity to chat with him while washing his hands.
"Aida, have you joined a club?"
"No."
Aida Yuki shook his head.
But then, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he continued, "I've been helping out in the library these past two days."
