"Since you've agreed, then good."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka threw her five hundred thousand: "This five hundred thousand is my deposit for employing you. Go pay back the money you owe the Zenshoukai, then come find me in two days, and I'll arrange your work."
"Thank you, Boss!"
Kurume excitedly jumped up and pounced on Ayanokoji, happily kissing him on the cheek.
Kurume hadn't expected Ayanokoji to be so kind to her. Her most pressing concern, Ayanokoji had solved so easily.
Now only "eating" and "staying overnight" remained. Eating was, of course, no problem; she was ready anytime. Even for staying overnight, as long as Ayanokoji nodded, she was willing to take off her clothes right now!
She leaned into Ayanokoji's ear and chuckled, "Boss, I'm very grateful you found me a job. However, I don't have any money right now, so there's no way I can pay you back that three million six hundred thousand."
Kurume's implication was obvious. Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's temper almost flared up, but remembering the two girls in the living room, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka temporarily suppressed his body's restlessness.
"You should understand, today isn't suitable…" Ayanokoji Kiyotaka pointed towards the door.
If Saotome were to act like Kurume and eavesdrop at that moment, he would be finished. The goodwill he had painstakingly built up might be reset to zero.
Kurume understood, and giggled, "Boss, I'll hold onto that overnight stay right for you for now. I'll be ready whenever it's convenient for you."
Kurume jumped off Ayanokoji, pulled back the covers, and burrowed into the bed. She yawned and chuckled sweetly.
"Boss, I'm super sleepy too. I'm going to sleep now, okay? You don't mind me sleeping here, do you? Of course, I also don't mind you lying next to me…"
After speaking, she seemed not at all worried about what Ayanokoji Kiyotaka might do. She turned her back to Ayanokoji and closed her eyes. Soon, her breathing became even.
Or rather, she didn't mind what Ayanokoji Kiyotaka might do.
It was already five in the morning, and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was also very sleepy. Since the woman didn't mind, he wouldn't deliberately avoid anything and lay directly beside Kurume.
But before sleeping, he still had one more important thing to do—
"Activate Super Transformation!" Ayanokoji excitedly whispered.
Now that the troublesome women were finally asleep, it was time for him and Captain Dragonfly to be alone!
…
Monday morning, just a few hours later.
Today was originally the school's opening ceremony. All students were to gather in the auditorium to listen to speeches from the school leaders and the Student Council President.
The entire Student Council was present today. Some students who usually didn't attend classes also came obediently, and even Ikishima Midari, the "troublemaker" with bandages on her hands, showed up.
However, after the opening ceremony ended today, when the Student Council members took attendance afterward, they found that several new students were absent.
"Kurume Laiwei, Hanatemari Kazura, Saotome Meari, and… Ayanokoji Kiyotaka."
Miharu Taki Sakura looked at the list her subordinate reported to her and turned to Sachiko Juraku: "Do they need to be disciplined?"
Although there was no rule stating that attending the opening ceremony was mandatory, if one was absent without prior notice, they would automatically be subject to a certain penalty and required to submit a self-reflection.
The penalties weren't severe, just minor tasks like cleaning or running errands. But the important thing was the attitude. They had to submit a self-reflection, otherwise, it would be seen as contempt for the Student Council and the Student Council President.
Although Miharu Taki Sakura greatly admired Ayanokoji and wanted him as her subordinate, business was business; he still had to be punished.
"Oh? Ayanokoji Kiyotaka?" Sachiko Juraku raised an eyebrow upon hearing the name and took the list from Miharu Taki Sakura's hand.
"Kurume, Hanatemari, Saotome…" Looking at these familiar names, Sachiko Juraku showed a playful smile: "It's fine, don't worry about them. They all participated in my event on Saturday night, so they don't need to be punished."
Sachiko Juraku was not only a third-year student but also the Student Council President's confidante. Her opinion could, to a certain extent, represent the Student Council President's opinion.
"I understand. Then I'll overlook this matter." Miharu Taki put the list aside and began tidying other things.
"Wait." Sachiko Juraku suddenly said: "Although the girls don't need to be punished, this boy, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, must be properly educated. He didn't inform me beforehand. As for the punishment… let him come to me personally."
"Understood." Although surprised, Miharu Taki Sakura didn't ask further. She nodded and stood up, leaving the Student Council room.
Sachiko Juraku smiled slightly and looked towards Mibuomi Aoi, the accountant who was calculating finances in the corner of the Student Council room.
"How about that? Your plan completely failed. Saotome didn't become livestock; she can't join your Zenshoukai."
"Indeed, Saotome is even more outstanding than I imagined. It's just… she values friendship a bit too much, even willing to sacrifice herself. This might become her constraint."
"Even if she can't be used by me, it's fine. After all, I was just trying. Even without her, it won't affect my plan. It's just…"
Mibuomi Aoi looked up and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you, Sachiko-sama, to be interested in this freshman Ayanokoji. What about him attracted you?"
"Because he's much more interesting than you. You're truly too boring." Sachiko Juraku chuckled lightly and casually asked, "When exactly are you planning to 'usurp the throne'? I can't wait much longer."
"Please rest assured, I will definitely let you see a good show before you leave this school." Mibuomi Aoi lowered his head and promised.
…
Just before the second period began, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka arrived late to the classroom.
"Ayanokoji, you actually showed up!?" Kuroki Ya looked at him in surprise and quickly asked, "Do you know you missed the opening ceremony?"
"I know." Ayanokoji yawned. He had gone to sleep at dawn and was still very sleepy.
"It's just missing the opening ceremony. There are so many people in the whole school; one person missing doesn't matter."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had missed countless group activities in middle school. He already had experience. In such large-scale events, practically no one would notice you, and even if you were absent, no one would care.
"The Student Council will count attendance, you know…"
Kuroki Ya wanted to say more, but seeing Ayanokoji's nonchalant attitude, he stopped, sighing helplessly: "Forget it, if you don't care, then so be it. Anyway, your relationship with Sachiko-sama is good, so there shouldn't be any problem."
"Speaking of which, did you have dinner with Hanatemari this week?" Ayanokoji suddenly remembered the gambling from the night before and asked casually.
"No." Kuroki Ya sighed softly: "I have to freeload off Tanaka Daishou just to eat myself, how could I be in the mood to treat someone else to dinner? Besides, I don't even have that young lady's contact information."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka took six hundred and sixty thousand from his wallet and pushed it towards Kuroki Ya.
"Alright then, that dinner for her is on me."
"Boss is generous!" Kuroki Ya's gloom instantly vanished.
He had originally felt a bit unbalanced seeing his friend get a million while he only got a few hundred thousand. He hadn't expected that choosing Hanatemari Kazura would also get him a discount!
Ayanokoji was truly a good brother!
