Chapter 73
"Don't do that—Kei-neesan is still showering inside!"
Ichika gently pushed him away.
But then she kissed him on the cheek.
Ye Yu had just taken Karuizawa Kei's first time and was temporarily in sage mode.
So he didn't push further, only gently holding her hand.
Ichika asked him worriedly.
"Ye Yu-oniichan, there aren't many days left until the exam. Aren't you worried about losing to Nino?"
During this time she no longer had to deal with the agency and had fully focused on studying.
With Ye Yu's ability boosting her, her learning had improved by leaps and bounds!
She felt she had a chance to pass the national exam.
But Ye Yu's original bet was top 50—she had zero confidence in that.
Not to mention he later crazily raised it to top 20.
She really didn't want Ye Yu to lose—not because Ye Yu was more important than Nino.
But in her heart, Ye Yu was more mature and reliable than Nino.
He probably wouldn't make any excessive demands, but Nino was another story.
If she really made some particularly outrageous requests, she worried it would affect their relationship.
In her heart she was certain—she would marry Ye Yu in the future.
She didn't want any unpleasantness between family members.
"You have to believe in your husband. Since I dared to bet, there's no way I'll lose!"
"But you caring about me so much really makes me happy!"
Then Ye Yu leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.
Ichika's face flushed red. She lightly pinched his waist.
"Big pervert!"
…
On this quiet night, Ye Yu was very busy.
First he and Ichika shared what had happened to them recently.
Then he talked with Yotsuba, soothing her aggrieved little heart…
Ye Yu couldn't help but sigh once more— this world is truly wonderful…
…
The next day, Ye Yu headed straight to school first thing.
Not because he had suddenly become diligent about classes.
But because he had gone completely missing, and his Tokisaki Kurumi-sama was about to explode!
He arrived early at the Night Blade Shrine club. Kurumi hadn't arrived yet.
He only saw Tohka and Kotori wearing practice uniforms, sparring on the stage.
Though their speed and power were nothing in Ye Yu's eyes,
for ordinary people, it was still quite impressive.
Finally, the match ended with Tohka's powerful, full-spirited sword strike.
The two girls removed their headgear, revealing their exquisite faces.
"Ye Yu, you're here!"
Tohka saw Ye Yu standing to the side and looked at him happily.
She enthusiastically waved at him!
Though they hadn't met many times, Tohka had a very good impression of Ye Yu.
Not just because he was her friend's boyfriend.
But also because last time Ye Yu not only treated her to food but also sent her to the infirmary.
"You're here? Where's Kurumi? She didn't come with you?"
Kotori lightly adjusted her hair, her tone neither particularly warm nor cold.
Ye Yu smiled and greeted them, then slowly said:
"Kurumi should be here soon. Tohka, do you want to help her taste some snacks again?"
Saying this, Ye Yu showed her the bag in his hand.
Ye Yu clearly saw Tohka's eyes light up.
"Wait for me a second—I'll change clothes and come right away!"
Saying this, under Kotori's dumbfounded gaze, she quickly left the stage.
Watching her friend's retreating back, Kotori looked suspiciously at Ye Yu.
What's up with Kurumi's boyfriend? He feels kind of weird.
There's always this feeling that he has ulterior motives toward Tohka!
"Last time because of you, Tohka ate something bad and got scolded hard by her grandfather when she got home!
If she hadn't stopped him, you'd probably be getting summoned by her dad right now!"
Hearing Kotori's words, Ye Yu wasn't panicked at all.
Meeting the father-in-law was inevitable—sooner or later, what's the difference?
"Tohka really is a good girl."
"Do you need to tell me that?"
Kotori rolled her eyes lightly, then took her gear and turned to head toward the changing room.
Meanwhile, Ye Yu placed the snacks on Kurumi's table in her room.
Then Ye Yu closed his eyes. Last time Kazuya interrupted his rhythm.
Now he was using his gu insects to once again explore this school.
His vision constantly shifted—one laughing, chatting student after another appeared before him.
Soon it arrived again at the kendo club.
At this moment, several people were already practicing inside.
Then a familiar face appeared on the stage again.
Golden hair, big blue eyes, idiot-like smile.
Isn't this our very own Uzumaki Naruto?
At this moment he was fawning over a pink-haired girl.
But he only received a disdainful look in return.
That pink-haired girl was none other than the famous Haruno Sakura.
However, Ye Yu didn't care about these two.
What truly caught his attention was a beautiful girl resting nearby with a towel.
Light purple hair, fair cheeks, white eyes.
Wasn't this the shy girl, the Byakugan princess Hyuga Hinata from Naruto?
Ye Yu was very satisfied—as long as you search diligently, you will always find something.
Then he began observing Hinata and Naruto's current relationship.
While he was observing, Tohka and Kotori had already come in.
The two had just finished showering. Ye Yu could even clearly smell the unique fragrance emanating from their bodies.
Their hair was wet and casually draped over their shoulders.
Their snow-white skin and jade-carved faces made Ye Yu feel a little hungry.
"Whoa, so much food! Are these all for me to taste?"
Seeing Tohka's expectant gaze, Ye Yu smiled and nodded.
Receiving Ye Yu's confirmation,
Tohka happily sat at the table and immediately began devouring everything.
Kotori looked at Ye Yu suspiciously and directly voiced her doubt.
"You keep trying to please Tohka like this every day—don't tell me you're planning to do something to betray Kurumi?
If that's really the case, I absolutely won't forgive you."
Kotori had only a few close friends since childhood.
She could never forgive anyone who dared to hurt her best friend.
She wasn't like Tohka—some fried chicken and snacks couldn't buy her off.
"How could I betray Kurumi? I'm just sharing my happiness with friends!
In my heart, you've all been my friends for a long time—aren't you?"
Saying this, Ye Yu handed Kotori a lollipop.
"Hmph, I still haven't acknowledged you as my friend yet.
And what's the meaning of this?"
Kotori said tsundere-ly, then looked suspiciously at the lollipop Ye Yu handed her.
It was actually her favorite flavor.
"Of course it's candy for my good friend."
Kotori huffed lightly and took it.
"Hmph, I'm only accepting this for Kurumi's sake!"
"Ye Yu!"
Hearing Kurumi's voice, Ye Yu turned his head.
He saw Kurumi standing behind him in a black-and-white short skirt, smiling.
Those sexy black-stocking legs made Ye Yu feel starving.
