Chapter 2155: A Normal Day


    ?


    Before Shio arrived in our ssroom, I got grilled by my girls'' questions. Nheless, it wasn''t that much different than our usual morning flirting. Our ss had already gotten used to seeing me surrounded by them. Moreover, the usual banter between us never missed painting the walls of our ssroom in a vibrant shade from the constantughter it brings to everyone - including those who were just watching from their seats.


    Ah. Of course, a select few of the boys scowled or frowned as sour looks upied their faces upon seeing me getting all that attention.


    Thinking about that Anti-Ruki Club. I won''t be surprised if some of them are part of it. They should be approached by whoever founded it, right?


    I wonder what they''re cooking up behind doors. Will they start moving against me? Maybe not yet. My influence is still ridiculously high. My name will keep existing among the rumors flying around in our school.


    And even if they show up, I''m not that worried. I''ll just crush them if they try something against me or the girls around me.


    .


    Anyway, enough about that.


    When I mentioned befriending Akane''s friends to my girls, all of them, including Aya who trusts me blindly, eyed me suspiciously.


    It was understandable why they reacted like that.


    Among the girls I considered friends, most of them have already be one of them. For example, Misaki.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Then there''s Sachi. Considering how I just promised the girl that pool date this summer vacation, our rtionship could also change over time.


    No amount of exnation from my side can make them ept that it will stop at simply being friends...


    In their heads, it''s only a matter of time...


    Through my honesty and transparency, I did tell them that all I did was try my best to amodate themst night. It''s not my fault that the former started calling me her boy best friend and thetter got unconsciously drawn to me after our unintentional intimate interactions.


    Uh... But I get it. It''s pretty useless to wash my handspletely from it. If I only did the bare minimum, they probably wouldn''t befortable sleeping in the same bed and room as me... It''s my notorious considerate trait that''s to me.


    I''ll continue hoping that things will somehow change or return to normal...


    Time passed and with Shio''s arrival, our morning sses started with hernguage lesson.


    Nothing significant happened during the lesson. In any case, given our rtionship, I couldn''t help but admire her throughout it, and with my observation skills, I couldn''t help but notice Shio''s gradual shift from the stern lecturer on Day 1 to an amicable teacher that everyone looks up to.


    How should I say it? I feel proud that she''s now fully ustomed to her job as a teacher. This is her first year and a lot has happened to her during her first few months.


    She got involved with me and she ended up divorcing her scum ex-husband.


    But even with the problems that cropped up that could surely shake someone new to this job, she held on and adapted well...


    Yes. It''s still messed up that she got into a rtionship with a student but as long as we keep it hidden, it won''t be a problem at all.


    When her ss finished, I once again took up the role of her assistant, apanying her to her next ss and taking our chances to flirt with each other.


    And that continued for the next three sses. All those sses also went fairly normal with only asional interesting bits like Satsuki not being able to answer a math problem when she got caught not paying attention to the lesson because she was busy pinching my sides, expressing her discontent about the bottle of lemonade that she forgot in their clubroom at the Gymnasium.


    During those breaks between sses, I also used that chance to check on Komoe, Misaki, Maaya, and Rae after I finished my duty as Shio''s assistant.


    Among them, because there was more spare time between 1st and 2nd periods, I even brought Komoe outside with me, using the excuse of wanting to talk to her privately.


    In truth, I just felt like pampering the girl. Or rather, seeing her awakened my desire to spend time with her given the chance.


    She was doing a lot of things for me and yet, she''s sometimes bing an afterthought to me. That''s bad, right?


    I know the girl won''t resent me for not having much time to spend with her but I keep on overthinking about it. That''s why before those thoughts can even get rooted in her head, I''ll prevent it from happening.


    I''ve already acknowledged her affection for me. While she''s not quite the same as most of my girls yet, I also consider her special to me.


    During that short time that we were together, I ended up kissing her more than once. And only once did she ask for it. Every time she tells me something positive that happens to her after returning to ss, I cannot help but praise her with a kiss.


    If it was any other girl, she might''ve hated it but Komoe loved it a lot.


    The only time she asked for a kiss was when I escorted her back to their ssroom... When she stepped back in, I heard some of her ssmates asking her where I took her or why her face was red.


    When I passed by their door to return to our ssroom, I saw Watanabe giving me a thumbs up from her seat...


    All things considered, our morning sses could be still considered to have passed normally. Ah. Right... I also pampered Aya and Hana outside during the short break before the 3rd and


    4th period...


    With Aya, I apanied her to the stationery store near the cafeteria to buy some supplies. On the way back, I pulled her to an empty ssroom.


    With Hana, the girl boldly asked me to apany her to the restroom.


    Yep. That ended in me entering the stall with her. It was the same stall where Hina and I made


    love in front of her on the first day of her transfer to this school.


    It was clearly an excuse but she made it sound like she wanted to rewrite her memories between us in that stall.


    However, we didn''t get to do anything too indecent because several girls from other sses also entered the restroom and stayed there a lot longer than we''d hoped for.


    We had to keep quiet or we''d easily get caught considering how even a small noise could echo


    out of the stall.


    We sneakily bided our time with Hana straddling me, exchanging silent kisses that seemed to be enough for the girl before escaping back to our ssroom.


    Also, Hana ended up sweating a lot because of nervousness. It''s rare for that to happen so I teased her a lot on our way back, causing the girl to be upset with me.


    I appeased her with more kisses outside the ssroom just before our teacher for the 4th


    period arrived.


    With all the morning sses ending, the inevitable lunch arrived again.


    Our n for today was the same as yesterday. Eat in that clubroom with everyone.


    Once again, I decided to pick up the other girls from all three floors of the School Building.


    However, on my way to pick up Marika and the other 3rd year girls, I ended up running into


    someone I didn''t expect to see today...


    "Ruki, what are you hurrying for?"


    "Oh. Onoda-kun? How are you on this floor?"


    As I was rushing at the staircase leading to the third floor, I stopped on the turn after seeing the alluring senior that I hadn''t seen in a while along with her friend from the same club who was Enomoto''s childhood friend.


    "Reira-senpai and... Nikka-senpai. What a coincidence!" My head quickly worked out a response along with my lips stretching into a pleasant grin, greeting the two of them.


    I tried looking past their shoulders, expecting Enomoto there. However, he''s surprisingly not


    around...


    Is he not apanying his childhood friend to lunch? Possibly.
