"...Do you think I wanted this?!" Yang Nai selectively ignored Kirito's sarcastic words and continued, "I'm a college student, and I'm not exactly free either, you know. Every day... um, you can get off now."

As if remembering something, Yang Nai called to the driver to get out of the car, "I'll drive back later, you don't need to wait for me, just go."

"Yes, Miss." The driver parked the car not far from the apartment, then got out and left.

"This racing god probably has more than just one 'f***ing curse' in his mind. Making him take a taxi home in the middle of the night, and not even paying for it... Oh right, there's nowhere to get a taxi nearby, but Didi Chuxing does."

"Shut up! Listen to me quietly!" With dead fish eyes, Yukino Yukinoshita became unusually dejected. "I'm not exactly free either. I have to learn this and that every day. Plus, I'm the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family... Do you think I want to face you with that hypocritical expression? I'm just required to maintain the most basic politeness at all times."

"...Yes, yes, yes, the honor of the Yukinoshita family cannot be desecrated." With a look of utter disbelief, Kirito swallowed the milk in his mouth, never expecting that Haruno would have this lazy, laid-back mode.

But speaking of which, Yukinoshita... doesn't seem to be considered a big family, does it?

"And then there's Yukino, she could have just done nothing, but what happened? She ended up like this, and she's inexplicably hostile towards me, making me afraid to see her for fear of upsetting her..."

Have some shame, you stalker! Yukinoko probably only didn't call the police and have you arrested because she's your older sister!

"Don't touch my Mengniu milk... Hey, I drank from it!" Kirito looked at the straw that Haruno had stuffed into his mouth with a sad expression as he drank half of his Mengniu milk. "Aren't you the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family? Do you have to maintain the family image at all times... Even your Mengniu milk is being snatched?"

Besides, our relationship really isn't that good, is it?

...Well, let's just assume that Yang Nai is possessed by a demon and is a fake person.

Honestly, this is the first time Kirito has seen Haruno display such a rebellious attitude in all the years he's known her.

"Hiccup~! What's there to care about? It's just you, you little brat." After finishing the rest of her Mengniu milk in one gulp, Ms. Yang waved her hand dismissively. "Let me tell you, Yukino clearly can't stand what's going on at home. I want to protect her with all my heart, but why doesn't she understand? -- Ugh! The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Any more?"

"No! Even if I had it, I wouldn't give it to you! Do you really like drinking milky white liquid that much?" Kirito grinned unhappily at Haruno's incessant nagging. He had originally thought Haruno was really here to observe Hachiman's situation, but... it was obvious, wasn't it? This girl was clearly here to complain.

Am I being treated like a best friend? I've never even slept with you, how could I possibly be your best friend!

Also, even if you're just doing it incidentally, you should still ask Hachiman more questions. After all, Hachiman is currently the player who can most easily raise Yukinoko's affection level.

"Get lost, I'm just thirsty. And please just say the product name, you pervert!" Yang Nai glanced at Kirito with dissatisfaction, then sighed, "If only my dear sister were half as good as Suguha, I wouldn't always be sulking."

"..."

"Why don't you speak?"

"You've gone a bit too far."

"……what?"

"You won't even give Yukinoko milk, yet you expect her to have something like Yoko?" Kirito said dismissively. "Besides, how could your Yukinoko possibly compare to the world's cutest Yoko?"

"No, no, that's fine. Commercial hype is one thing, but when it comes to whose little sister is the cutest, I have to stop, let me tell you." Not to be outdone, Haruno shoved the empty box back into Kirito's hand. "But, well, I'm in a much better mood now. Yeah, much better than when I left!"

So it really was your mom who pressured you!

"Oh right, I need your help with something." Yang Nai let out an embarrassing burp, but she didn't seem to care at all. "Please help me take care of my sister... don't let someone kidnap her."

"I'm not some colonel from the opposing country's Dragon Hidden Base with an IQ of 233. With my high IQ, I could easily be brought down to the same level by your sister, and then defeated by her rich experience." Kirito glared. So aren't you afraid I'll kidnap you?

If she calms down, Yang Nai could be considered a goddess, but now she can only be considered a crazy woman... She probably has a mental illness, because she looks even more energetic than she seems.

"Can you help?"

"I'll help! Just ask and I'll definitely help!"

I don't know if Akane Akasaka thought Haruno looked a lot like her, but she even handed over my embarrassing past to her... Bullshit!

"Well, I also have something to tell you. Be careful of Akasaka, she's been very free lately." Having received a definite answer, Haruno's lips curled up, and she said happily.

"I roughly understand!" Kirito nodded solemnly. Akane Kousaka couldn't be idle, because she was a master at causing trouble. Sometimes Kirito even doubted whether she was suitable to stay single because of this. In contrast, there was Shizuka-sensei's iron fist judgment!

"It's getting late, I should go home... Oh right, didn't you ask me for some Mengniu milk earlier?" Kirito took a box of Mengniu milk out of the bag, opened the seal, inserted a straw, and handed it to Haruno.

"So good..."

Yang Nai, her face covered in Mengniu milk, roared angrily.

"Go to hell, you pervert!"

[NO.100 This is a real man]

Strictly speaking, Kirito and Haruno had a pretty good relationship. Even though Haruno wouldn't wear white stockings for Kirito like Akane Akane did, back then, at parties and such hosted by the so-called upper class, Kirito couldn't drink and there were underage people who couldn't drink, so there weren't many people he could talk to at parties. Haruno Yukinoshita was the first one.

In addition, the various subtle events that followed made their relationship even closer—provided that Yang Nai behaved normally enough.

However, this time, Yang Nai's behavior was more than just abnormal; it was like she was on her period. She was irritable, in a terrible mood, and all she could do was complain...

As the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, her bust size far surpasses that of the British ambassador's daughter, or rather, her figure completely outshines her in every way. Yet, this time she acted as if her younger sister had died... well, that description seems a bit exaggerated.

In short, it seems that Miss Haruno will soon be unable to withstand the pressure from Lady Yukinoshita, and will explode like a pufferfish with the slightest touch.

—If you read it as "chest explodes," you'll never need a dictionary again, because your eyesight will fail you.

However, Kirito thinks that Haruno's attitude is quite good, at least... their relationship has become much closer.

Looking at the picture on her phone, Miss Yang Nai was slumped in her seat, staring ahead in shock, her pretty face and the corners of her mouth covered in... milky white liquid.

Generally speaking, these kinds of scenes are coded, but you can create them yourself, observe them up close, and take photos along the way—it feels great!

"Although I have new dark history, I'm afraid Haruno wants to kill me now."

……

Today is Friday, a very good day.

This is a day that both Kirito and ordinary students enjoy very much. In addition, because Kirito sprayed Haruno's face with a mouthful of Mengniu milk yesterday, he is still in a great mood. If he has time, he should find an opportunity to match Haruno with her younger sister.

...It still feels a bit unnecessary. Yuri is wonderful, but unfortunately they can't have children, not to mention their mothers' reasons. I reckon Haruno is going to have all four legs broken—I mean, plus Yukinoko's two legs.

Although Haruno sometimes acts like a tomboy, she is definitely a woman. Even though she has a good relationship with Shizuka-sensei, she is still a woman... However, Kirito always feels that Haruno will have a mental breakdown one day.

Well, that's what it's like when your mom constantly pressures you.

As for agreeing to help take care of Yukinoko... that's just a pipe dream.

Even if they meet, they'll only exchange greetings at most. If they actually talk for more than a few minutes, it's even more terrifying than Kasumigaoka Utaha cleaning her room every day—it's definitely an anomaly.

Since it's a friend's request, and he personally agreed, Kirito will still lend a hand if Yukinoko really needs it... Hmm, as Yukinoko said, lend a hand to someone who is asking for help? — It feels like the level of sophistication just goes up.

Speaking of which, Shizuka-sensei is actually quite strong. At least she knows how to fight poison with poison and put Hachiman and Yukinoko together. Although Ryunosuke has been added now, given his personality, he probably won't even want to say much.

...I'm a little curious. They're all neighbors, so will it be Hachiman who makes a move on Yukinoko, or Ryunosuke? ...Haha! It's unlikely Hachiman will make a move on Ryunosuke, haha...

A laugh devoid of confidence echoed in Tongren's heart. It was the last Chinese class of the morning, and Teacher Xiaojing was still wearing that white coat, which, combined with her knee-length hair, made her look incredibly dashing.

I won't even ask if it's convenient for you to go to the toilet. Teacher Xiaojing, have you ever been mistaken for a doctor? —Ah, I'm not just talking about those physical examinations, just the doctors you see in hospitals?

Kirito's gaze followed Hiratsuka Shizuka's movements and swayed. He noticed that Hiratsuka Shizuka's breasts were so large that they were almost three times the size of the dumplings in the Service Club. If someone were to marry Shizuka-sensei, they would probably be drained not only physically but also mentally.

By the way, what exactly does "women at thirty are like wolves, women at forty are like tigers" mean?

At first, Ms. Shizuka didn't pay much attention to Kirito's gaze, since it was already good enough that he wasn't sleeping in class. However, as time went on, his gaze became increasingly audacious, going beyond just staring at his chest.

This guy is definitely using his imagination—yes, don't underestimate a creator's ability to fill in the blanks.

Jing Ke'ai crushed the chalk in her hand and glared back fiercely.

Kirito smiled dismissively. It's one thing to not let you touch her big breasts, but now you won't even let you look at them?

Uh no, I'm appreciating it, which is very different from staring at it with a lewd look. It's like panties and safety shorts. Showing the former will only make people smile knowingly, but showing the latter... who the hell invented this thing called safety shorts?

Ah, I remember Yezi usually wears safety shorts...

"Kirito, stand up and explain what this word means as a book title." Ms. Shizuka frowned deeply, clearly unable to bear Kirito's gaze, and pointed to an idiom on the blackboard.

"...A true warrior?"

Looking at the words on the blackboard, Kirito curled his lip. "Truly, a true man is fearless! Knowing a man's strengths and going for it is the most common thing. Besides, I have another personal opinion - in ancient times, there was a king in the West named Billy, whose life clearly illustrates what a brave man is and what it means to dare to face a bleak life."

The classroom suddenly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"You might not believe it, but the other day Kirito saw a news story about someone who was scammed online. After learning that the online scammer, who was supposed to be female, was actually male, the victim still paid extra money... Yes, willingly being scammed! — That's probably what 'persevering despite difficulties' means, right?"

"Oh right, according to later reports, the online scammer was arrested by the victim."

"...Is it a trap set to capture someone by exploiting their psychology?" Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded thoughtfully. There are so many strange things in the news.

"Sit down. What you're saying has absolutely nothing to do with what I asked you to explain."

"Oh." Kirito pursed his lips indifferently. In reality, the real story was that he was victimized by the online scammer and eventually reported it to the police... Damn, he took on the challenge despite the difficulty.

Many of the classmates looked at Kirito with very strange eyes.

It's almost time for get out of class to end. I have to take the tram back to the dojo this afternoon... Hmm, I hope those guys don't all stay home, otherwise it'll be really hard to go back this time.

I'm asking for your monthly votes! How many chapters I'll update today depends on your motivation!

[NO.101 I Want to Study! (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)]

I've always been a bit abnormal, because geniuses always have unique thought processes. For example, they can easily swear without using profanity or spout dirty jokes without crossing the line.

However, you can't do that with certain people, like Shiina Mashiro.

I think it was a complete mistake to let her observe the people around us. Not to mention that every night when Asuna and I were being affectionate, she could watch intently without being harmed by the heretics, and now she's even... infected with the Qin flu.

Where is Asuna?

Class J of the first year is the best class in the first year, and also the class with the most beautiful girls. Asuna and Shiina Mashiro are in this class. Compared to the special class where Kirito is... I didn't mention the special skills below. There is no one who can wrap their arms around their waist and even turn around twice and tie a knot.

If you're talking about tentacles, then I admit defeat.

The students in the special talent class all have special talents, such as Kirito and Eriri's painting skills, and Kato Megumi's stealth skills... Maybe it's really because they have a low profile.

As for why Shiina Mashiro, who also has a talent for drawing, isn't in this class... do you think Asuna is better at taking care of people, or Kirito?

"I'm helping the teacher grade homework."

"...What's Sakura-sensei doing, asking Asuna for help again?" Kirito raised an eyebrow. Asuna's homeroom teacher is a silly and cute older single woman... No, that's not right. At least she has a boyfriend, even if he's expressionless.

"I don't know." Shiina Mashiro raised her head slightly and stared into Kirito's eyes. "I'm hungry."

“Staring at me won’t do you any good, I’m not going to give you any food.” Kirito glanced at the bento box in Shiina Mashiro’s hand and knew that Asuna planned to help grade papers in the classroom office and have lunch at the same time.

Well, it's really unnecessary to perform too well in school, because it can be a bit annoying for teachers.

Silently leading Shiina Mashiro up to the rooftop, Kirito silently wished Sakura-sensei and her boyfriend a happy and fulfilling future. Along the way, they saw many boys and girls who wanted to invite Shiina Mashiro to eat lunch together, but Shiina Mashiro's silent words deterred them.

That's the power of having no connections; you can shut someone up without saying a word.

Did you enjoy class?

"Ah."

"I'm happy, but how's the teacher?"

"good."

"...Don't mimic me." Kirito rubbed his forehead. So, what is it that made me their primary observation target? Wouldn't it be better to observe Asuna? She's virtuous and capable, and can handle anything. It would be so much better to have Asuna as an observation target!

Do you think what I usually tell you is useful for comics?

"It works." Shiina Mashiro nodded, but her tone remained as flat as ever.

"Since it's useful, are you confident you can win the newcomer award with the deadline approaching?"

"...I will win."

Although I previously thought it would be difficult for Shiina Mashiro to learn interpersonal communication in such a short time, at least it was unlikely before the deadline for the Newcomer Award, reality just loves to slap people in the face, and Kirito's face is swollen from all the slaps.

Of course, Shiina Mashiro might have taken a shortcut; yes, she directly drew the events that happened in the manga club as her story. With the story in place, the elements missing from her manga were filled in through the everyday conversations of the group.

That's really impressive.

"Is it okay to work on two projects at once? If not, just tell me. I'll take care of the club's creative work." Kirito sighed, seeing the slight determination in Shiina Mashiro's eyes. This kid really wasn't planning to give up on the Newcomer Award... If she failed again, she'd probably feel even worse than the first time.

"I can do it." Without the slightest hesitation, Shiina Mashiro stared intently at Kirito, seemingly a little afraid.

……what's going on?

Kirito was puzzled by Shiina Mashiro's gaze, and at the same time felt a little guilty. Ah! Such clear eyes really... make one feel guilty.

"If you can't, just say so. I'm just too lazy, but I'll still do what I'm supposed to do." Kirito found a place to sit down, opened the bento box, and looked at the food, which was cold but still quite delicious.

Kirito doesn't like bringing his own lunchbox because it's a hassle to wash the lunchbox after eating.

Of course, with Asuna around, Kirito wouldn't need to lift a finger, but today he'd obviously have to do it himself.

"Don't move." Leaning forward, Kirito approached Shiina Mashiro, stuffing a napkin into her collar. As Kirito did this, Shiina Mashiro's eyes brightened slightly, but in the end, she just stared at Kirito as he prepared everything for her.
