Chapter 129: Bribe Me With Points? That's an Insult!

After receiving the reward she wanted, Kikyo contentedly began chatting with Manabe Shiho and subtly extracting information from her.

Since Yuto was holding Kikyo close, he could clearly see how she guided the conversation.

Instead of directly asking for the information Yuto needed, Kikyo began with a casual message.

[Shiho-chan, I heard there's a frightening delinquent in your class. What was his name again? Something Ryuen?]

Manabe immediately replied and thoughtfully supplied the full name, "Ryuen Kakeru."

Kikyo then centered the conversation around Ryuen and casually asked which Class C students had the worst relationships with him.

Yuto personally watched Kikyo obtain a detailed understanding of Ryuen's relationship with nearly every student in Class C through what appeared to be ordinary gossip.

He did not know whether to praise Kikyo's skill or Manabe's excessive love of gossip. She seemingly knew how everyone in the class felt about Ryuen.

Among Ishizaki, Komiya, and Yamawaki, Ishizaki had the best relationship with Ryuen, while Yamawaki had the worst.

When Ryuen first tried to rule Class C through violence, Yamawaki fought him and received a beating in return. Manabe also revealed that Yamawaki frequently cursed Ryuen behind his back.

Therefore, Yamawaki appeared to be the person least loyal to Ryuen.

"Yuto, I've finished what you asked me to do." Kikyo blinked and gave him a playful, proud look.

Yuto smiled. "How would you like me to reward you, Kikyo?"

"Hmm... I know what I want, but first, Yuto, look at the new clothes I bought."

"Alright."

A sweet and passionate night passed like this. Kikyo eventually became too tired to return to her own room, so she stayed overnight in Yuto's dormitory.

Exhausted and completely satisfied, Kikyo slept until noon before waking up.

She sat up blankly in bed, the thin blanket covering her delicate body slipping slightly to reveal her exquisite and alluring collarbone.

"Mmm... Where's Yuto? Has he already left?"

Kikyo murmured as she noticed a breakfast tray on the table, with a note tucked underneath.

"Huh?"

Curious, Kikyo wrapped the thin blanket around herself and walked to the table barefoot, her waist still aching slightly from the previous night.

The note was from Yuto, explaining that he had bought her breakfast and she could eat it when she woke up.

A smile touched Kikyo's lips as she set the note aside. She reached out and touched the edge of the breakfast box.

Hours had passed, and the meal had already gone cold.

Yet, Kikyo's heart was warm. Humming a cheerful tune, she slipped into her slightly rumpled underwear and clothes before heading to the student dormitory's small bathroom to wash up.

...

By then, Yuto was eating lunch at the detached apartment with Airi and Chabashira.

After they finished, Airi began clearing away the dishes. Yuto looked toward Chabashira, who was drinking barley tea.

"Chabashira-sensei, can we move the student council hearing forward?"

"We can, but are you already prepared?" Chabashira asked.
