"So, that is roughly the situation."
Morning, Far Moon Academy.
During the break, bustling noise echoed from the Teaching Buildings.
Students were either moving desks and chairs inside the classrooms to set up their class activities, or mbers of the Student Council and Disciplinary Committee were outside hanging banners and various decorations.
This busy scene clearly indicated one thing: the Far Moon Academy Culture Festival was approaching.
At this mont, in the shade beside the Teaching Building, Yan Huan had bought two raw coconut lattes from the Comrcial Street and handed one to An Le beside him.
"Thank you, Xiao Huan. How much was this? I will transfer the money to—wu!"
Just as she spoke, Yan Huan pressed her head and swayed it from side to side, causing her to let out a cute whimper.
"Rather than that, An Le, it is hard for
to confirm the location of Sakuramiya's barrier. Can I leave that to you?"
Hearing this, An Le's eyes lit up slightly, and she happily agreed,
"Mhm, leave it to !"
"..."
Seeing An Le smile, Yan Huan was slightly taken aback.
He was slow to catch on, but he suddenly realized that An Le might have misunderstood.
There were two reasons why he could not confirm the location of Sakuramiya Hitomi's barrier:
First, because Perfect Sakuranomiya liked him so much, she would not resist his approach at all, and naturally would not show any unusual reactions regarding the true location of the barrier.
Second, if he took action, there was a risk of exposing the fact that he knew about the Modifiers to Perfect Sakuranomiya.
But An Le seed to have misunderstood it as:
Because confirming the barrier required touching Sakuramiya Hitomi all over, and it would be inappropriate for a man and a woman to have such close contact, he asked her to do it instead.
This made An Le feel a sense of closeness and trust with Yan Huan, and since she could also help Xiao Huan, she had agreed so eagerly.
"..."
Looking at her genuinely happy expression, Yan Huan suddenly felt guilty.
Especially since An Le had just left, yet Sakuramiya had already moved into his house, even sleeping in the sa bed with him, lying exactly where An Le usually lay!
'Yan Huan, oh Yan Huan, you really are...'
Thinking this, Yan Huan quickly took a sip of his coffee to calm his nerves and decided to change the subject,
"So the important thing now is to figure out a thod to confirm it. How about we ask Sister Tong to help out too—"
"President! The School Gate area is fully set up, do you want to co and take a look?"
Right at that mont, Yabashi Ki ca running over, shouting to Yan Huan from a distance.
"Wu..."
As soon as she saw soone approaching, An Le beside him looked nervous and subconsciously hid to the side, avoiding Yabashi Ki's line of sight.
"I will be right there!!"
"Alright, I will wait for you over there!"
Receiving his answer, Yabashi Ki ran in a circle and sprinted back in a ninja run with his arms angled backward.
'Ah, the Culture Festival...'
Yan Huan was incredibly busy these past few days setting up for the Culture Festival.
Just this morning alone, he had run around the site several tis with Yabashi Ki, Ashley, and the others.
He also had to deal with Sakuramiya's situation.
He did not know if Ye Shiyu and Bai Yi would stir up any trouble either. He desperately hoped they would not add insult to injury.
"..."
An Le, noticing that Yan Huan was stretched too thin, considerately spoke up,
"Xiao Huan, let
figure out the plan for Vice President Sakuramiya. I have a way. You just focus on the Culture Festival for now."
"Really? Do you actually have a plan?"
Yan Huan was half-believing, half-doubting, but An Le's face showed a rare expression of certainty.
She shyly touched her cheek, and with a blushed face, told Yan Huan,
"It is a girl's thod. Xiao Huan, you should not ask."
"..."
'Ah, now I want to know even more.'
However, Yan Huan decided to trust An Le.
He glanced at the ti and told her,
"Sakuramiya should be at the swimming pool supervising the cleaning right now. You can go find her there. I will go check on the Culture Festival stuff. Around noon, we can et up again to check on the progress."
"Mhm!"
After speaking, Yan Huan was about to leave when he suddenly thought of sothing, quickly turned back, and kissed An Le on the cheek.
"Smooch!"
Following the brief kiss, he waved his hand and ran outward,
"I am off!"
"..."
An Le was completely stunned by the kiss. She stood rooted to the spot for a long ti, slow to catch on, until her face gradually flushed red.
She pursed her lips, subconsciously raising her hand to touch the spot Yan Huan had kissed.
Yet, as if she could not bear to wipe away the trace of his kiss, she ultimately abandoned the attempt, allowing his parting, seemingly guilt-ridden compensatory kiss to remain on her skin.
"Honestly... I was already having a hard ti holding back after separating from Xiao Huan at night, and now he... he stimulates
like this... Wu..."
Yes, they had only been apart for two days, but to An Le, it felt like she had been practicing abstinence for two years.
Every day felt like a year.
But now, she needed to take action quickly. She could not drag Xiao Huan down.
"You can do this, An Le!"
She secretly cheered herself on and jogged toward the swimming pool.
At that mont, inside the swimming pool building.
"Vice President Sakuramiya, the cleaning is complete!"
"Mhm, thank you for your hard work."
"Not at all, not at all..."
On the sidelines, Sakuramiya Hitomi walked in carrying a heavy box full of drinks with both hands. She looked at the boys and girls climbing out of the pool with their tools and spoke.
"I bought drinks for everyone. Please help yourselves."
"Ah, thank you."
One boy who had climbed out first stared at Sakuramiya Hitomi's movents in astonishnt and spoke blankly.
Even though Sakuramiya Hitomi placed the box down gently, it still emitted a muffled thud, clearly indicating how heavy it was.
And Vice President Sakuramiya's petite body was actually able to carry it?
"Here."
Sakuramiya Hitomi opened the box and handed out the drinks one by one.
Those who took their drinks left first, so they did not notice that as the number of drinks in the box decreased, several silver-gleaming blades buried at the bottom were gradually revealed.
"Clang!"
Sakuramiya Hitomi crouched beside the box, the glint of the blades faintly flashing across her face, illuminating her cold features.
Right at that mont, An Le's soft and sweet voice drifted over from behind,
"Vice President Sakuramiya."
"Click!"
Sakuramiya Hitomi calmly closed the box without batting an eye, turning around to display a warm smile.
"An Le, is there sothing you need?"
"Mhm."
An Le pursed her lips, pointed toward the Won's Changing Room, and softly asked,
"Can we talk in the changing room?"
"...Of course."
Sakuramiya Hitomi pondered for a mont before standing up and following An Le to the changing room.
As they walked, Sakuramiya Hitomi could not help but glance at An Le beside her, pondering the purpose of her visit.
"Click!"
The door to the Won's Changing Room opened, revealing the rows of packed lockers inside.
Between the lockers were long benches for sitting. Behind the lockers lay the shower area, obscured from view.
An Le sat down on the bench first, gripping her long skirt. It was not until she saw Sakuramiya Hitomi close the door behind her that she pursed her lips, seemingly hesitating to speak.
"So, what did you co looking for
for, An Le?"
Sakuramiya Hitomi asked with a smiling face, which seed to heighten An Le's nervousness.
But ultimately, she spoke up,
"About what Vice President Sakuramiya ntioned before... I thought it over carefully after going back... I think it makes a lot of sense, so..."
'What I ntioned before?'
'Oh, it must be about how I do not mind An Le's relationship with the President, as long as she listens to
from now on, right?'
'It seems An Le is quite sensible...'
"Mhm, that is wonderful. It looks like we can be sisters from now on!"
Sakuramiya Hitomi smiled and quickly walked over to An Le, taking her hand.
The intent to show closeness was self-evident.
Truthfully, she did not harbor any hostility toward An Le, Ye Shiyu, or the other Modifier Hosts anyway, nor did she intend to keep fighting them.
Like An Le, wouldn't it be nice if everyone could peacefully be together with the President?
Between the lockers, Sakuramiya Hitomi and An Le were still displaying their deep sisterly affection, completely unaware that in the shower area behind them, a red-haired woman slacking off on a lounge chair suddenly opened her eyes upon hearing the sound of conversation.
It was none other than Far Moon Academy's perfectly ordinary physical education teacher, Tong Yingying.
Lately, her classes had beco extrely popular.
After all, it was not often you saw such a cool and dominant older sister acting as a P.E. teacher at the school.
So even if the class content was utter garbage, these students, who had been cooped up in their academic cages for too long, would still co over to check it out.
However, regardless of gender, any student who attended Tong Yingying's class ended up being thoroughly tornted...
Moreover, Principal Hers highly valued Tong Yingying!
Because during her interview, Hers was pleasantly surprised to discover that this woman was capable of teaching absolutely any physical education course.
What a talent!
Far Moon Academy was already lacking in P.E. teachers. On the rare occasions they managed to hire one, the teacher would either leave to pursue their dreams in international competitions or resign to go explore the wide world.
This resulted in the sports departnt hiring new people every sester, leaving Hers extrely busy and stressed.
But Tong Yingying was completely different.
She had developed locally in Linn for years, was highly skilled, yet spent her days acting lazy and utterly devoid of ambition...
If that was not the perfect corporate workhorse, what was?!
Therefore, Principal Hers made an exception to promote her and increase her salary, directly appointing her as the Head of the Sports Departnt at Far Moon Academy, terrified that she might get bored and run off.
Regardless, Tong Yingying's future at Far Moon Academy was incredibly bright. Even when she set up a bed in various public areas to take a nap out of boredom, no one bothered her. This showed just how deeply she was valued.
Everything was going great, except...
Hadn't it been a while since she last saw Yan Huan?
Tong Yingying sotis wondered to herself: wasn't her goal in coming here to infiltrate the enemy's inner circle so she could easily deal with the Modifiers?
How did she inexplicably end up becoming a departnt head?
"..."
But today, the conversation between these two girls outside reignited Tong Yingying's original mission for coming here...
She ca here to fight the Modifiers, not to be so damn P.E. teacher!
'That voice... Is it An Le and that rich miss nad Sakuramiya Hitomi?'
On the lounge chair, the sharp-sensed Tong Yingying realized the content of their conversation might be crucial. She gently pushed off the ground with her hands, slipping out of her seat barefoot without putting on slippers.
Like a ghost, without making a single sound, she arrived beside the lockers and peeked out with a pair of sharp eyes to look in their direction.
Over there, Sakuramiya Hitomi and An Le were happily discussing sothing.
"How many tis have you and the President... done 'that'?"
Sakuramiya Hitomi asked first. "Well..."
An Le blushed, seemingly too embarrassed to speak.
'That?'
Tong Yingying mulled over the vague pronoun, grumbling internally,
'Does she an kissing? Just as I thought, Yan Huan has kissed these youngsters more than once before!'
On the other side, seeing An Le embarrassed to answer, Sakuramiya Hitomi did not press the issue and simply skipped over the topic.
"It is fine if you do not want to answer. The important thing is the future, right?"
"Mhm..."
"This is roughly what I was thinking. The President is only one person, after all. It would be best to divide our ti with him by the days of the week..."
Sakuramiya Hitomi smiled softly, sat beside An Le, and held up a finger to explain,
"For example, right now it is just the two of us. In a seven-day week, you get three days, and I get four. We alternate like that..."
"Eh?!"
"If more people join later, we can renegotiate then."
Hearing this, Tong Yingying could not help but gasp in shock.
'Damn it, these two brats are actually conspiring in secret to divide up my Yan Huan's kissing schedule for the week!'
'What about ?!'
'Why don't I get a single day?!'
'I can excuse the Sakuramiya family's rich miss not knowing about , but An Le, don't you know ?'
'Why didn't you even ntion ?!'
'Wait, why should I share with these little girls anyway?'
'Wouldn't it be better if I monopolized him?'
"Um, actually, Vice President Sakuramiya, this is what I was thinking... There is no need to... divide it so clearly..."
"...Then what do you an?"
An Le blushed, appearing extrely embarrassed as she whispered,
"Can't we... do it at the sa ti?"
"..."
Hearing this, both Sakuramiya Hitomi and Tong Yingying in the shadows froze, their eyes widening simultaneously.
A second later, Sakuramiya Hitomi was the first to snap back to her senses. As if encountering a complete blind spot in her knowledge, she genuinely asked An Le in confusion,
"Can this sort of thing... even be done together?"
'Exactly! There is only one Yan Huan, how do you kiss him at the sa ti?!'
Tong Yingying was equally dumbfounded. Evidently having zero experience in this area, she leaned in closer, straining her ears to hear more clearly.
Looking at the bewildered Sakuramiya Hitomi before her, An Le could not help but reveal the sa sympathetic expression she had once shown Spencer.
She pursed her lips, ultimately unable to resist the urge to pass on her wisdom. Leaning in close, she whispered to Sakuramiya Hitomi,
"It's like... first you do this and this... and then you do that and that..."
"..."
Sakuramiya Hitomi listened attentively. As the demonic whispers poured into her ears word by word, her pupils inevitably began to shrink.
Then, her mouth fell slightly open. From her neck, a rosy flush slowly crept upward until it completely overtook Sakuramiya Hitomi's face.
She was so profoundly shocked that crystal-clear tears uncontrollably welled up in the corners of her eyes.
"Ah... ah..."
Sakuramiya Hitomi's mouth remained agape as she squeezed out intermittent, incoherent sounds from deep within her throat, all displaying how her mind had gone completely blank from terror.
An Le, however, calmly pulled her head back, as if she had rely done sothing utterly trivial.
Brushing off her clothes and hiding her achievents...
This was An Le.
"This is my only request, Vice President Sakuramiya. This way, everyone can be together every day, neither gaining a day nor losing a day. A win-win situation... wouldn't that be better?"
"Th-th-this..."
"Can you agree to it?"
"I... I..."
Sakuramiya Hitomi turned her head in horror to look at An Le, whose expression remained as normal as ever, but suddenly felt that this version of An Le exuded an imnse sense of oppression.
"This sort of thing... I... I cannot do it..."
"No, you can do it."
"No, no, no, absolutely not! Besides, I have never done that kind of thing before, not to ntion..."
"It's okay, I will just teach you!"
With that, An Le stood up and reached out a hand toward her.
Unexpectedly, this simple gesture terrified Sakuramiya Hitomi so much that her legs gave out. She struggled just to stand up from the chair and could only scramble backward desperately.
"...Y-you... don't co any closer! An Le... I... I really cannot..."
"..."
At this mont, the dynamic between the two had completely shifted. Behind the lockers, Tong Yingying also blushed, sitting on the floor in profound shock, unable to believe what she had just heard.
Tong Yingying's hearing was excellent, so An Le's whispers were naturally clear as day in the quiet Won's Changing Room.
But the content of those words...
Let's just say, for an eternal virgin like Tong Yingying, it was far too absurd.
However, compared to the seemingly fierce Sakuramiya Hitomi, her capacity to accept such things was naturally stronger by several magnitudes.
Therefore, after a brief mont of shyness, even more intense emotions suddenly welled up in her heart.
Anger!!
'Damn it, having a party and not inviting , huh?!'
Indignation!!
'My Yan Huan, whom I have held back from claiming for so long, was easily snatched away by these little kids?!'
'On what grounds?!'
'Are you bullying
because I don't have superpowers?!'
'Are you bullying
because I am older?!'
'Are you bullying
because my background isn't as good as yours?!'
"..."
The more she thought about it, the redder Tong Yingying's eyes beca.
'Fine, fine, fine. That's how we're playing, is it?'
'I see you youngsters have yet to experience the might of an older P.E. teacher!'
With these thoughts, Tong Yingying slowly withdrew her resolute gaze and seemingly vanished without a trace, her whereabouts unknown.
anwhile, back on the other side, An Le's true objective had only just been revealed.
Looking at the pitiful, terrified Sakuramiya Hitomi before her, she felt sympathy, but still pursed her lips and said,
"Vice President Sakuramiya, you are... really a weakling like this... Even if you do not agree to my proposal, how can you convince
to listen to you and let you have one more day than
every week?"
"This..."
"Moreover, if Xiao Huan were to see you looking like this..."
Hearing this, Sakuramiya Hitomi's pupils could not help but shrink slightly.
It was true. Even if she killed Self-Doubting Sakuramiya, took the initiative with the President, and ultimately succeeded!
If that happened, after the High Table Dinner or on a night after a date, the President might be full of excitent before her, only for her to get terrified and violently shake her head just as they started.
Then, the President would silently pull his hand back and murmur,
"Ah, as expected, it is still a no?"
"P-President, please listen to my explanation..."
In her imagination, Yan Huan had already sat up helplessly on the bed,
"It is okay. After all, it was like this when we kissed in Akihabara too. I hadn't even started, and Sakuramiya couldn't take it. I am used to it by now..."
A second later, the Yan Huan in her mind looked down condescendingly at the pale Sakuramiya Hitomi on the bed. His smile was cast in shadow, and his tone turned icy,
"Such a weakling Sakuramiya is truly adorable~"
These imagined words seed to awaken an imnse terror hidden deep within Sakuramiya Hitomi's heart.
Because she knew full well that even her very birth was inextricably linked to that disastrous first kiss in Akihabara.
If that incident were repeated and ruined everything...
"Ahhhhh!"
In front of An Le, Perfect Sakuranomiya grabbed her own head and began to pant heavily.
No, she could not repeat the sa mistakes. She had to achieve perfection...
Even in this aspect!
"Smack!"
The next second, An Le could not help but be slightly taken aback.
Because right before her eyes, Sakuramiya Hitomi had trembling grabbed onto her hand,
"An Le... teach... teach ... how exactly should I do this..."
An Le blinked, but still revealed a smile, saying sowhat bashfully,
"Mhm, okay... It is just that I might have to touch you during the process. Is that alright?"
"...Mhm... mhm."
Sakuramiya Hitomi clenched her delicate feminine fists and said,
"But please make it quick. I... I have sothing to do later..."
"Of course. I will just teach you so basics first, it will not take too long. As for the more advanced techniques, we can find ti for those later, okay?"
An Le smiled softly, speaking just like a patient teacher.
......
......
An unknown amount of ti passed. At the School Gate, the hood-wearing Mouse Sakuramiya panted heavily, looking toward the lively campus with a pale face.
She had to be extrely careful, even avoiding running into anyone at all.
After all, if soone noticed that there were two Sakuramiyas at the sa ti...
That would be a disaster!
"Ugh..."
However, she didn't have her school ID card right now, so even getting into the school was a problem.
Should she ask the security guards at the gate for help to contact the President and warn him of the potential danger?
"..."
Just as Mouse Sakuramiya was about to do exactly that, an icy-cold hand suddenly gripped her shoulder tightly from behind.
Then, an eerie female voice rang out,
"Finally... I caught you, little mouse~"
"Eeeeeeek!!"
Mouse Sakuramiya was so startled that her body went limp, dropping straight to the ground in a duck sit as she raised both hands to clutch her head.
"D-don't co any closer! Wu!"
"Eh, eh, eh?? Sakuramiya, am I really that scary?!"
'Eh?'
Hearing the familiar voice in front of her, the nearly frightened-to-death Mouse Sakuramiya paused slightly, her mouse ears subconsciously perking up a bit.
She blinked and lifted her eyes to look ahead.
There she saw a girl in a sailor uniform blinking her large eyes, staring innocently at Sakuramiya.
It was none other than Yurianna.
She seed incredibly wronged by her reaction.
"Honestly, aren't we the best of friends?"
"..."
Mouse Sakuramiya looked at Yurianna before her, and at this mont, her little heart felt like it had plunged straight down from a roller coaster ride.
She was so scared that she burst straight into tears, forcing herself to tilt her head back to keep them from falling.
"Wu... you... you idiot..."
"..."
Seeing the pitiable Sakuramiya Hitomi before her, Yurianna pursed her lips in deep sympathy, reaching out to pull her into her arms. She patted her back and began to comfort her.
"There, there, Sakuramiya is a good girl, don't cry..."
Focused entirely on comforting Sakuramiya, Yurianna was completely unaware that in her embrace, Sakuramiya Hitomi's face was being slightly deford by certain large, soft mounds...
Feeling the massive objects pressing against her face, Mouse Sakuramiya could not help but be overco with grief, crying even louder.
"Waaaaaah... wuhuhu..."
"Eh, eh, eh?! Why are you crying even harder?!"
