Chapter 123: Another Confession Letter?

Chapter 123: Another Confession Letter?

Several Class C students had been studying in the library that afternoon, so news of Tokito Hiroya's confrontation with Yuto soon reached Ryuen Kakeru.

"Bastard!"

Ryuen punched the wall, his expression dark and frightening. Ishizaki Daichi remained speechless beside him, while Yamada Albert was as expressionless as ever.

Tokito had provoked Class D's students, only to be mercilessly refuted by Shimizu Yuto...

Ryuen did not care about that at all!

Tokito had always openly opposed him, so Ryuen would have been delighted if Yuto had taught him a harsh lesson.

What infuriated Ryuen was that Yuto had dragged his own humiliation back into the conversation!

'Shimizu Yuto, mock Tokito all you want. Why did you have to bring up what happened a month ago?!'

"Shimizu Yuto, you won't be able to continue acting arrogantly in this school for much longer," Ryuen said through gritted teeth.

The conspiracy he had devised with Nagumo Miyabi would begin ten days before the midterm exam. They needed to ensure Yuto's suspension covered the examination date.

There was still roughly a week before the operation began, so Ryuen would endure Yuto for seven more days.

After swallowing his anger, Ryuen considered whether to include Tokito in the plan. He wanted to use Yuto's hands to give the irritating bastard a thorough beating.

Someone needed to offer themselves up and get beaten for their scheme to frame Yuto. Why couldn't that person be Tokito, whom Ryuen already hated?

"Forget it. That guy is unreliable."

Ryuen abandoned the idea because Tokito opposed him. If Tokito learned of the conspiracy and betrayed him at the last moment, their plan to suspend Yuto would collapse.

The person destined to take the beating needed to be someone Ryuen trusted.

Someone like Ishizaki Daichi...

...

Time quietly passed, and the atmosphere throughout the school grew increasingly tense as the midterm exam approached.

Yuto remained completely unaffected. He continued living his school life in a relaxed and comfortable manner.

He ran with Suzune in the mornings, then spent lunchtime with Kei and Kikyo. After school, he either studied and went on dates with Kei or was dragged to Yuto's dorm room by Kikyo for their secret meetings.

Sometimes he encountered Shiina Hiyori in the library. The light, marshmallow-like girl would discuss mystery novels with him and happily recommend famous books she enjoyed, making them feel like close literary companions.

At night, Yuto would cuddle with the fragrant and soft Airi, showering her with affection before falling into a sweet sleep.

His routine was remarkably regular, and he divided his time efficiently enough that all three girlfriends remained satisfied.

During this period, Ichinose also contacted Yuto through Line. She told him that Shiranami continued treating her exactly as before despite having her confession rejected.

Relieved, Ichinose continued spending time with Shiranami as usual. However, Yuto's name now appeared frequently in their conversations.

Shiranami would secretly criticize him, while Ichinose seriously defended and explained his actions.
