Yamauchi and his friends, also known as the "Lucky Trio," were currently discussing how to install surveillance cameras in the changing room. However, Ryunosuke immediately dragged them out in front of everyone.
If it were before, he might not have cared because there were Ayanokouji and Suzune who would stop them. But now it was different; because of his interference, all the outcomes had become messy. Suzune didn't even come to the pool, which was why he stepped in to stop them.
In front of all their classmates, Ryunosuke warned the three of them.
"There are things you can do, and things you cannot do, understand?"
"If this is found out, you won't just be expelled from school, but you'll also cause all students to lose points."
"This month we just earned 11,300 points with difficulty, don't let those points disappear again because of you three."
Although for Ryunosuke now points of that amount weren't a big problem, even mosquito meat was still meat; he felt it would be a waste if those points just disappeared.
Yamauchi, Ike, and Shimura gritted their teeth glaring at Ryunosuke who had exposed their plan. They hated him very much.
"Why do you have to interfere!" Yamauchi shouted angrily.
People around looked at him with disgust, but Yamauchi didn't care at all and continued cursing.
"All men have perverted thoughts, it's natural! I'm just putting it into action, I'm not wrong at all, on what basis are you blaming me?"
Kei couldn't help but spit. "Disgusting man!"
Hirata initially wanted to help mediate, but seeing this situation he chose to remain silent. After all, what Yamauchi did was indeed excessive; defending him now would really be inappropriate.
Ike and Shimura tugged at Yamauchi's pants, telling him to shut up. They were now being watched by the entire class and felt very embarrassed. There were even students from other classes looking this way; this was truly social suicide.
However, Yamauchi didn't care; his skin was very thick. He continued cursing without caring about others' views.
"You meddling bastard, someday I'll make you pay the price!" Yamauchi said with a red face.
Ryunosuke waved his hand indifferently.
"Make me pay the price? Just with your abilities?"
"If you can't control yourself anymore, I'll be the one to make you pay the price and get you expelled from school."
Just as Yamauchi was about to retort, Sae arrived with a serious face and issued a warning.
"Yamauchi! If you commit one more action that drags down the class's reputation, please pack your things and get out of here."
Sae extinguished the cigarette butt in her hand with a sharp gaze. She had long wanted to get rid of someone who could only ruin plans and was useless like this. Unfortunately, this person was tied to the class's interests, so she couldn't just expel him.
The homeroom teacher's sudden appearance made Yamauchi shut up. He snorted in dissatisfaction then left, taking Ike and Shimura with him.
From that moment on, the three of them were truly isolated from the class. Who would want to be friends with people who intended to install cameras in the women's changing room? Everyone instead stayed away.
After the problem was resolved, Ryunosuke intended to leave, but he was stopped by Kushida.
Kushida's expression was no longer gentle as usual, but showed her true face. In front of Ryunosuke, she didn't need to pretend anymore because this man knew everything about her. This actually made her feel more relaxed.
Ryunosuke looked at her and asked, "What is it?"
Kushida's expression was very cold. "You and Horikita, are you good friends?"
Ryunosuke was stunned for a moment, then remembered something and teased, "Don't tell me you want to be friends with her? With that Suzune..."
As if her thoughts were read, Kushida turned her face away and nodded softly after pondering. "Yes, I want to be friends with her. Can you help me?"
Ryunosuke felt helpless. "How are you so sure I'll help you? What's in it for me?"
Kushida stepped lightly before him, showing her usual innocent smile, and said with a sweet smile.
"You'll definitely help me, right?"
Kushida brought her face close to Ryunosuke's ear and whispered in a threatening tone. "If you don't help me, I'll tell everyone that you broke into my room, even if it means I have to be destroyed along with you."
After speaking, Kushida waited for an answer with a cold gaze. Ryunosuke snorted inwardly.
(Risking your purity to threaten me? Fine, you win.)
He extended his hand and took the opportunity to pat Kushida's head. "Just this once, after this don't look for me again."
Although her head was being patted, Kushida didn't feel disgusted. On the contrary, she showed her innocent smile again and nodded happily. "Mm! Of course, Akasaka-kun."
In outsiders' eyes, their relationship looked very close, but in their hearts, they were both cursing each other's ancestors. Ryunosuke cursed her as a "slut," while Kushida cursed him as a "disgusting man." However, on the surface they still smiled sweetly.
Airi and Haruka, who were spying from a distance, appeared to be thinking hard.
"Are they dating? It doesn't look like it, but actually how is it?"
Haruka scratched her hair irritably. She was trying to guess who Ryunosuke's girlfriend was in order to help Airi devise a strategy.
Meanwhile, Airi, seeing the two of them so close, felt a bit disappointed. She held her own head and murmured softly, "I also want to be patted by Ryunosuke-kun..."
Haruka looked at her unambitious friend and shook her head. "Really no guts. After getting that man, is this all you want?"
Airi's face reddened with embarrassment; she just stammered, not knowing what to say.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
The next morning.
Ryunosuke went to fulfill his promise to Kushida. Actually, he was too lazy to go because dealing with Suzune was quite troublesome. But because he had once made her cry, there was a little guilt in his heart; consider this as compensation.
Ryunosuke arrived at Suzune's dormitory and knocked on the door.
Suzune opened the door, and upon seeing it was Ryunosuke, she reflexively wanted to close the door again. However, Ryunosuke stopped the door with his foot and said in a resigned tone.
"Do you hate me that much? Suzune, I'm the person who helped you reconcile with your older brother, can't you invite me in for tea?"
Suzune fell silent. She opened the door wide and walked in without looking back. Ryunosuke took off his shoes at the genkan, put on house slippers, and entered.
Suzune, wearing red sportswear, immediately sat on the bed, crossed her legs, and folded her arms across her chest.
"Speak. There's no way you came without business. What do you want?"
Ryunosuke sat on the tatami near the table. "Can't you give me a drink first? I'm thirsty."
Suzune pouted, but still stood up to pour tea. She was indeed very tsundere.
