People bring their own maids to the training camp

60. If you can't pay it back, just offer yourself in marriage to settle the debt.

"It's so delicious! It's almost like a restaurant that could be opened!"

"I'm so glad you like it, Karuizawa-san." Chihaya smiled gently.

"Aren't you going to eat, Princess?" Karuizawa asked, noticing that there were still a few left in the insulated box.

“I’ve already tried it at the club, and I especially enjoy watching others eat the food I make; that makes me happier,” Chihaya explained. “Most chefs feel that way.”

"It's basically like feeling happy because your efforts have been recognized," Kushida agreed. "People have a very happy expression when they eat delicious food."

"That expression is like a delicacy to me, isn't it?" Chihaya laughed. "It gives me a great sense of satisfaction."

Seeing Kushida pick up the second egg tart, Karuizawa followed suit and picked up the second egg tart as well.

They were indeed very delicious. If she were in her own dorm room and there were no outsiders around, she probably would have devoured the entire box of egg tarts long ago.

"I heard that everyone in Class D seems to be having a harder time, is that right?"

After taking a few sips of coffee, Chihaya got straight to the point, since that was why she had come to Karuizawa today.

"It's only 0 points after all. I wonder if we can increase the class points this month." Kushida smiled wryly upon hearing this.

However, she did have this concern. If the next few hours were all at midnight or a meager 10 or 20 o'clock, even if she was very frugal, she would eventually have to resort to eating vegetable set meals and drinking mineral water.

Living entirely at Chihaya's mercy isn't a good life. Although Chihaya is giving her points now, she can't be sure how much Chihaya will give her in the future. She can't possibly have to ask Chihaya or Hayasaka for points every month like she's asking her parents for living expenses, can she?

If it were Chihaya, it wouldn't be a problem, but if it were Hayasaka, she would inevitably be judged by the other party—it was probably the difference in bust size that made Hayasaka somewhat dissatisfied with Kushida, and Kushida wasn't stupid, she could sense it to some extent.

"I think we should be able to get class points for the midterm exams, right?" Chihaya comforted her. "After all, there's nothing else besides exams, right? We can't expect to get points for the sports festival and the cultural festival, can we? And even if we did, it probably wouldn't be this semester."

"That makes sense. Then we can only keep working hard for the midterm exams."

"If you have any questions about schoolwork, I think I'm pretty reliable, you know?" Chihaya said with a smile. "Just come to me with any problems—oh, by the way, Karuizawa-san, why don't you add me as a friend?"

"Okay, sure!" Karuizawa quickly took out his phone, and the two added each other as friends on the chat app.

"Kikyo said that Karuizawa-kun has been having some difficulties lately. I also know about the situation in Class D. I believe that everyone in Class D will get out of this predicament sooner or later."

As Chihaya was speaking, Karuizawa noticed that he had received a transfer of 10000 points. He glanced at the transfer and saw that the sender was indeed Chihaya.

"Thank you so much, Princess!"

Karuizawa was extremely excited to borrow 10000 points at once. Combined with the points she had borrowed from Kushida and others, she now had nearly 20,000 points in total.

Now I need to plan how to use my points properly. Damn it, I wonder if this school has any platforms for buying and selling secondhand items, Karuizawa thought.

"You have to pay it back, okay?" Chihaya winked playfully at Karuizawa. "But the deadline is before graduation~"

"Chihaya-kun, you should have added something about interest," Kushida joked. "If you can't pay it back, you might as well just offer yourself in marriage to settle the debt."

"Then Hirata-kun will have a problem with me, saying that I bullied his girlfriend or something."

"Haha, I don't think Hirata-san would be so petty. It's common for girls to make jokes like this."

If Chihaya really were a boy, it wouldn't be a bad idea, Karuizawa thought—but the next second she was startled by her own thought. Why did she have such an idea?

"You see, Karuizawa-san is actually quite interested too, isn't she?"

"Kushida-kun, you're joking with me again!"

Haha, sorry~

When facing Chihaya, Karuizawa felt she couldn't put on the same arrogant demeanor she had in Class D. Chihaya's approachability was just too strong, making her want to get closer.

The three then chatted over coffee, during which Kushida frequently steered the conversation toward Karuizawa, his words carrying a hint of matchmaking—if it were a man and a woman, they would certainly think so, but since others, including Karuizawa, saw it as three girls chatting, it could only be taken as a good-natured joke.

Kushida also had her own ideas, and she tried to understand Chihaya's thoughts.

First of all, it was already strange that Chihaya offered to lend points to the girls in Class D. She knew what the girls in Class D were really like—there were some who were pretty, but most of them had looks that were inversely proportional to their intelligence.

However, she wasn't targeting pretty girls, because the intelligence of unattractive girls is directly proportional to their looks.

If any of the girls in Class D had any brains, Karuizawa and Shinoen wouldn't have any say in the class. They're practically idiots, no different from Yamauchi Ike—the same type who have neither good grades nor special talents.

No, I misunderstood. To correct you, Karuizawa's legs are actually quite long.

Therefore, Kushida judged that Chihaya might be interested in the beautiful girl Karuizawa.

After all, even Cao Cao had that kind of hobby, so Chihaya might like girls with boyfriends—wouldn't that be even more exciting?

If she really became Karuizawa, he could help her share the burden, and she wouldn't have to pretend to be a good girl in front of him; she could freely express her anger. This would be excellent for her to vent her emotions.

Of course, another possibility is that Chihaya plans to use Karuizawa to strike up a conversation with Hirata, who is barely considered the leader of Class D. In any case, helping Hirata's girlfriend will definitely increase his initial goodwill.

Chihaya never told Kushida about her plans, only using imperative sentences with her, so Kushida could only speculate on her own.

In any case, Karuizawa doesn't know that Chihaya is a boy, so he won't pay attention to the sense of distance. Who knows, one day he might accidentally let Hirata hear the raindrops falling on the green grass.

Just as Kushida was making his calculations, a small commotion broke out on the palette. It seemed that a conflict had broken out not far away, and the voices were quite loud.

"That seems to be someone from Class C," Karuizawa said, turning his head to look at them with a hint of disgust.

She hates these rude guys the most.

"Excuse me, I'll be back in a moment." To everyone's surprise, Chihaya stood up and walked towards the center of the incident.

61. A small favor

"Excuse me, I'll be back in a moment."

After Chihaya finished speaking, she got up and walked towards the group of students in Class C.

"Huh, what's going on with Himegami-kun?" Karuizawa asked, puzzled.

"The ones who got into a fight with Class C should be the students from Class B, right?" Kushida said somewhat uncertainly.

She did know quite a few people in Class B, but not every single one of the 40 people, so she couldn't say she was 100% sure.

However, judging from Chihaya's reaction, she is most likely a student from Class B.

While the two were talking, Chihaya had already walked to the center of the incident.

"Greetings, everyone. May I ask what has happened?" Chihaya asked with a professional smile.

"Hime-kun!" The boys in Class B's eyes lit up, and they even straightened their backs a bit.

"The concubines of Class B? You've come at the right time! You people from Class B are so ill-mannered. Cutting in line is one thing, but you even lay hands on me!" Several tall boys from Class C immediately complained, "You elbowed me in the chest, and you still won't apologize!"

"You were the one who cut in line!" The boy from Class B stared wide-eyed, looking incredulous.

"Huh? My friend is right in front of you. I was just going to wash my hands!" the boy from Class C declared confidently. "Right?"

"That's it!"

As soon as the group spoke, Chihaya understood what was going on.

It is clear that this was a deliberate action by Class C against Class B, and they even specifically chose Zhongxi, who had a relatively low profile within Class B.

Before May, Chihaya might have thought this was a personal grudge, but in May, with class points and promotion mechanisms already clear, Class C's behavior can only be interpreted as provocation. And once a fight breaks out, it will most likely result in the deduction of class points.

After all, even talking in class or being late will result in points being deducted, not to mention fighting.

If Class C successfully induces the boys in Class B to attack without retaliating, only Class B's points will be deducted, not Class C's.

"What a clever scheme," Chihaya thought to herself with a cold snort. He had known all along that Ryuen from Class C was a combative character, so it was no surprise that he would come up with such a trick.

"Really? Since you're his comrades, you must know what he's planning to drink, right?" Chihaya looked at the C-class boys in line. "Could you please tell me?"

"He, he..." The boy glanced furtively at his "companion," clearly feeling guilty.

"I have trouble making decisions, I haven't decided yet." The other person remained calm and continued to speak confidently.

“Since we both have conflicting accounts, let’s check the store’s security footage,” Chihaya suddenly said. “How about I cover the points costs myself?”

"Isn't that unnecessary? Just have him apologize and that'll be the end of it."

"Then how about this, you apologize to Nakanishi-kun, and we'll consider this matter closed?" Chihaya gave him a taste of his own medicine. "How about that?"

Chihaya suppressed her smile, her expression turning cold as she stared into his eyes, waiting for his answer.

The more they are watched like this, the more panicked they become.

"You guys in Class B always make a mountain out of a molehill. It's just coffee, right? I'm not drinking it! Let's go!" The boy from Class C said this politely and then slunk away.

Chihaya didn't stop him, after all, his goal was to resolve the dispute rather than escalate the situation.

If the video is indeed reviewed later, he, as the party involved, will have to cooperate with the school's rulings on various matters, which would be too troublesome.

He didn't care much about class points, but letting Class C deal with Class B in a public place wasn't a good thing for the persona he was currently cultivating, so he dealt with it as well.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so sincere; he ran away before he even got serious.

I was originally looking forward to seeing how capable Class C's Longyuan was, but I didn't expect that the people in charge of carrying out his orders were such a bunch of idiots.

Chihaya was disappointed, but she quickly came to terms with it. After all, it was Class C, and the leader was a fighter, so he was bound to be less adept at rhetoric.

"Thank you, Princess!" On the contrary, Nakanishi was very grateful for Chihaya's "helping out when she saw injustice." "I don't even know them!"

"It's nothing, just a small favor." Chihaya smiled. "Remember to be wary of those ill-intentioned people in Class C in the future."

"Got it! I won't keep staring at my phone while queuing next time!"

Chihaya said goodbye to the other party and returned to Karuizawa and Kushida's side.

"Chihaya-kun, that's so cool!"

As soon as Chihaya returned, Kushida smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

"No way."

“Really, I also think that Princess Hime-kun was really impressive just now,” Karuizawa chimed in. “It was like a hero descending from the sky.”

"It's not as exaggerated as you two make it out to be. If you keep praising me like that, I'll get shy!"

"She's like a prince charming who suddenly appeared on a white horse... no, I should say a princess on a white horse, right?" Kushida said. "Anyway, she's both beautiful and cool!"

"You're exaggerating more and more, Kushida-kun?"

"There's no such thing as exaggeration when it comes to telling the truth, right? Karuizawa-san thinks so too, doesn't she?"

“That’s right.” Karuizawa nodded in agreement.

"Alright, alright, then I guess I'll just have to accept it honestly?" Chihaya said helplessly.
