Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Stepping Into Dog Poop!
But what she said, her tone, and actions essentially amounted to an apology to Hikari.
Even though she didn't state it explicitly and only used the excuse of delivering soy milk, Sakuramiya Hinata's actions had already surprised Sakuramiya Saya quite a bit.
What shocked Sakuramiya Saya even more was Hikari's response as he waved his hand and said, "I've already had breakfast, so I won't drink the soy milk. Hinata-senpai, you keep it for yourself."
With that, after glancing at the two sisters, Hikari turned around and walked away quickly with Shinomiya Natsuha and Akane Nanao.
There were simply too many people at the school gate.
Being flanked by Shinomiya Natsuha and Akane Nanao, with a girl on each side, he attracted too much attention.
So he thought it was better to leave quickly.
However, seeing this, Sakuramiya Saya became displeased.
Her dearest younger sister had rarely seen moments of such initiative in giving someone soy milk, and yet Hikari, as the junior, responded so coldly. How could this be acceptable?
"Wait a minute…"
Sakuramiya Saya wanted to call Hikari back, but she was immediately stopped by Sakuramiya Hinata.
"Saya-sis, don't," Sakuramiya Hinata stopped the fuming Sakuramiya Saya.
Sakuramiya Saya withdrew her outstretched hand and then looked at Sakuramiya Hinata with a peculiar expression.
She couldn't help but ask, "Hey Hinata, don't tell me you've been charmed by that frivolous guy's looks and fallen for Hikari-kun, have you?"
Hearing this, Sakuramiya Hinata's heart tightened, her pretty face reddened slightly, but facing her sister Sakuramiya Saya's suspicious gaze…
She quickly shook her head in denial, "No way! How could you think that, Sis? The person I like is, of course, you, and only you
Neither of us would like men, right?"
"The reason I gave Hikari-kun soy milk is that I happened to buy an extra cup today. Besides, I feel like we've been too cold toward Hikari-kun lately."
"Didn't the president say we should show him some care? Plus, as his senior mentors in the club, I felt it was my responsibility."
"Sis, think about it—no matter how frivolous Hikari-kun might be, he still has such a handsome face."
"If we sisters keep being so cold to him, people might start suspecting our sexual orientation and questioning our relationship."
"So at the very least, we need to maintain appearances."
Faced with her sister Sakuramiya Saya's suspicions, Sakuramiya Hinata rambled on, hastily explaining herself with a long string of words.
Although her explanation seemed a bit forced and contrived in many places…
Sakuramiya Saya, being naturally less perceptive about these things and unable to imagine her dearest, clingy sister lying to her, didn't pick up on anything unusual.
So she nodded and said, "Hmm, you make a lot of sense. We really shouldn't be so cold toward Hikari-kun all the time."
"But, I still feel annoyed."
"Our bond as sisters, having someone intrude upon it. Sigh, because of this, my mood has soured."
"Maybe I'm just in a bad mood today—I feel like even the air smells foul."
Just as Sakuramiya Saya was grumbling, the cleaning lady behind her suddenly spoke up:
"Excuse me, young lady, could you step aside? You've stepped in dog poop."
"Huh?"
Sakuramiya Saya looked down and saw that her shoe's sole and side were indeed smeared with some yellowish substance.
No wonder she'd been smelling something foul—she thought it was just her bad mood, but it turned out she had actually stepped in poop.
Sakuramiya Saya's face darkened as she quickly scraped her shoe against the ground to clean it.
In her rush to deal with the situation, she completely forgot to delve deeper into Sakuramiya Hinata's unusual behavior that day.
Meanwhile, Sakuramiya Hinata, though she found it hard to suppress her amusement, breathed a sigh of relief seeing that she had successfully fooled Sakuramiya Saya.
Sakuramiya Hinata didn't want her sister to know about yesterday's events. After all, she had been threatened, and revealing it would only make her sister worry. She also feared her sister might become a target for threats too.
Thus, Sakuramiya Hinata chose to deceive her sister.
Watching her sister tirelessly scraping her shoe against the ground to get rid of the dog poop…
Sakuramiya Hinata couldn't help but sigh inwardly, 'Sigh! thank goodness my sister is so gullible—it was easy to trick her.'
However, Sakuramiya Hinata didn't realize that she might be just as naive as Sakuramiya Saya.
After all, a more reasonable approach to ensure Sakuramiya Saya wasn't threatened would have been to tell her everything.
Instead, she decided to hide it from Sakuramiya Saya, thinking this would protect her.
That was Sakuramiya Hinata's logic.
Although her reasoning seemed odd, perhaps influenced by Hikari's guidance or provocation yesterday, Sakuramiya Hinata had become slightly smarter—at least smart enough to come up with excuses to fool her gullible sister.
———
On the other side.
Under the watchful and peculiar gazes of countless students and even teachers…
Hikari, flanked by two girls, finally arrived at the entrance to his class.
Since neither of the two girls was in the same class as Hikari…
They could only reluctantly bid farewell to him at the doorway.
"Hikari-kun, see you later. I'd like to do what we did yesterday again." Akane Nanao said wistfully to Hikari.
"Hikari-kun, come to my apartment after class to tutor me, okay? Yukino-san and I both miss you." Shinomiya Natsuha said coquettishly.
Though Shinomiya Natsuha wasn't sure why Akane Nanao seemed to have suddenly grown closer to Hikari, her womanly sixth sense had already guessed the truth. So, she stuck close to Hikari all day.
Akane Nanao, sensing Shinomiya Natsuha's hostility, naturally refused to back down.
While Hikari felt somewhat helpless, he didn't know how to intervene.
After receiving farewell kisses on both cheeks from Shinomiya Natsuha and Akane Nanao, Hikari finally returned to his seat to start morning self-study.
Because Hikari had been surrounded by two incredibly beautiful, curvy girls…
Many male classmates cast envious, jealous glances his way, while the girls looked at him strangely.
Especially Chizuru Shiina, who wore an expression of disapproval as though she were disappointed in him.
Hikari ignored all these looks. Focusing solely on his studies, he blocked out the distractions around him.
When morning self-study was almost over, Hikari discreetly tucked away the romance novel hidden in his math textbook and pulled out a romantic origami crane.
Looking at the slightly glowing red crane, Hikari raised an eyebrow.
At this moment, the Pure Love Origami Crane that Hikari had taken out and placed in his palm was emitting a faint, ominous red glow.
This glow indicated that the target bound to this origami crane was in imminent danger of encountering a cuckold situation.
"The human world, tainted once again," Hikari muttered, spouting an edgy comment before quickly checking the target bound to this Pure Love Warning Origami Crane.
"Sakuramiya Saya?" Hikari swiftly recognized who the person in potential danger was.
It was none other than Sakuramiya Hinata's elder sister, Sakuramiya Saya.
Hikari wasn't particularly surprised by this.
After all, when Sakuramiya Hinata came to deliver soy milk this morning, he had used Pure Love Scanner to glance at the sisters' heads.
Sakuramiya Hinata's head glowed white, calm and peaceful.
But when he saw Sakuramiya Saya, he took a longer look because he noticed that her head emitted a red glow, indicating impending danger.
"As expected, now the Pure Love Origami Crane has issued an early warning—Saya really has been targeted by a cuckold."
"It's probably still that Tachikawa from yesterday."
With the memories of his past life, Hikari understood how obsessive Tachikawa from the Photography Club was about ruining the Sakuramiya sisters. There was no way he would give up so easily.
Hikari also remembered something else.
Although Sakuramiya Hinata had retrieved the photos yesterday, the foolish girl hadn't destroyed the camera. That camera likely still contained the original photos.
This gave Tachikawa another chance to threaten her.
As Hikari thought this through, he casually activated the Pure Love Radar.
Sure enough, a red dot appeared on the map. It was undoubtedly Tachikawa.
The location of the red dot was all too familiar—it was near the small wooded area where Tachikawa had threatened Sakuramiya Hinata yesterday.
"Not even trying to switch locations, huh?"
Hikari shook his head. But he had to admit, that dense wooded area was indeed convenient for shady deeds.
At this moment, Tachikawa was probably already taking action.
So Hikari didn't wait for morning self-study to end. Seated near the back door of the classroom, he quietly slipped out.
Originally, the three gyaru—Ruri and her friends—had planned to confront Hikari after morning self-study to question why he hadn't gone home again yesterday.
But just before the class ended, they were dumbfounded to find Hikari's seat already empty.
The three gyaru weren't much of a problem. What gave Hikari a headache was what happened after he sneaked out of the classroom.
As he was about to go downstairs, he ran into two people he didn't want to see.
They were two beautiful teachers with contrasting styles—one with golden hair and a gentle expression, the other with long purple hair and a cold, stern demeanor.
However, these two stunning teachers shared one common feature: their ample chests. Even Akane Nanao, who was exceptionally well-developed, might pale in comparison to them.
After all, these two were mature women, ripe and ready like peaches waiting to be plucked.
These two voluptuous teachers were none other than Hikari's homeroom teacher, Tsukishima Kyouko, and assistant homeroom teacher, Shirakawa Miwa.
Hikari froze slightly when he saw them.
Likewise, the two teachers paused upon spotting Hikari.
They stood on either side of him, effectively blocking his path and preventing him from moving forward.
With a frosty expression, Tsukishima Kyouko sternly asked, "Hey, Hikari-kun. Morning self-study isn't over yet. Where are you trying to go? Skipping class?"
Knowing Tsukishima Kyouko's strict nature, Hikari was aware that getting caught skipping class, even during morning self-study, would not end well.
Naturally, Hikari couldn't admit that he was heading out to preemptively stop a girl from being harassed.
So, he put on a flawless performance, clutching his stomach and feigning pain as he said, "My stomach hurts, I need to use the bathroom urgently..."
"Even if your stomach hurts, you can't just—" Tsukishima Kyouko began, her tone cold and severe.
But Shirakawa Miwa quickly interrupted, her tone filled with concern as she said, "Hikari-kun, if your stomach hurts, you should hurry to the bathroom. Your health is more important."
As she spoke, Shirakawa Miwa even patted Hikari on the head.
Given her good relationship with Hikari and her frequent leniency toward him, Shirakawa Miwa naturally sided with him.
Hearing this, Hikari didn't waste any time.
After quickly saying, "Thank you, teacher!" he dashed downstairs, out of their sight.
Watching him leave, Tsukishima Kyoko shook her head in frustration. "Sigh, you're spoiling him again."
"Morning self-study is almost over anyway. Letting Hikari-kun leave a little early isn't a big deal," Shirakawa Miwa replied with a playful smile, even sticking out her tongue mischievously.
Clearly, she wasn't oblivious to the fact that Hikari might have been faking it.
But given her close relationship with him, and the fact that morning self-study was indeed almost over, she decided to turn a blind eye.
Besides, considering the "close exchanges" Hikari often had with her, she felt inclined to help him out whenever she could.
