Zongman: Kulaixiku, resurrection!

"Ke-chan, good morning!" Aine pushed open the door of the infirmary, pulled out a chair and sat down carelessly, supporting her soft chin with her two small hands, and spoke to Kashiwa Miki, whose eyes were dull.

"Yesterday, Tomorin showed extraordinary courage and forced the MyGo project to be finalized despite everyone's objections!"

The big pink-haired dog put its face on the table like a husky, staring at the profile of Kashiwa Sanhui stupidly.

"Soyorin and Rikki were speechless. They looked at Tomorin like he was a stranger. It was really hilarious!"

"Ah."

"That's what Ke-chan didn't see. Tomorin was ridiculously handsome back then!"

"Very handsome."

"...Are you just trying to fool me, Ke-chan?"

"Oh, right... oh, no, no!" Kashiwa Sanhui came back to his senses and said apologetically to Aine, who looked resentful: "I'm sorry, I didn't sleep well last night, so I don't have much energy today."

On the one hand, I didn’t sleep well, but on the other hand, I was actually thinking about what happened last night.

This is really... crazy. I should find time to make an appointment with a psychiatrist.

There have been so many things going on recently: the live, the bet, the formation of the band, that jerk second-generation rich kid, and the strange woman and strange place last night.

Li Xiao got up this morning and immediately packed up and went to the law firm. Without a hearty breakfast and lunch, Baihe Sanhui had to compete with those guys for fried rice and bread.

Everything is going wrong.

"If you're not in the mood, try a change of scenery! For example, come and watch our practice this afternoon or something."

The abacus beads are falling on my face, Chihaya Aine-san.

"Did Deng ask you to come and talk to me like this?"

Kashiwa Sanhui no longer dared to make tea for Aine. Instead, he took out a small basket from the drawer, which was filled with snacks such as rice cakes and yun cakes, and moved it in front of Aine.

"Hehe, I accidentally let Ke-chan guess it~"

The Yun cake was dry, and since Kashiwa Sanhui didn't make tea for Aine, Aine chewed the small cake for a long time, choking from time to time and spitting out some cake crumbs.

"Um... Ke-chan, you didn't see it, did you?" Aine blushed a little. It was so rude that she almost sprayed the food on Ke-chan's face.

"Eat your food, and don't be rude if you don't talk too much."

"Oh...Ko-chan is so fierce."

Ain chewed quietly, her pink cheeks bulging, and her cute little canine teeth occasionally showed to chisel her own lips, making a sudden blush appear on her thin pink lips.

Kashiwa Sanhui was thinking while looking through the new messages in the system.

[System Task Update: ??? Series Task 1 has been accepted]

So, does this information serve any purpose other than taking up system bytes?

At this moment, the cell phone lit up at the right time. There was no new message, but the red rogue software that had been deleted five or six times by Baihe Sanhui was back again.

Although it is rogue software, it seems to be nothing disgusting at the moment. There are no ads and no telecom fraud calls. Just when I was about to delete it, the system voice suddenly rang in my mind.

[Hint: Please go to where you were last night to use this software, or go to Lubrun to ask Amamiya Ren.]

Oh~ Lian is also dry.

So could I ask Lian to help me beat up that woman?

No, I guess Lian can't beat that big monster, right? It seems Lian's health is even worse than mine, she's so skinny.

"Something's wrong."

After finally chewing and swallowing the snack, Aiyin did not open the second bag. Instead, she suddenly sniffed around in the infirmary seriously, and finally smelled Kashiwa Miki!

"There's no smell of smoke! Who the hell are you... Ugh!"

"Are you all identifying my identity by the smell of smoke?" Kashiwa Sanhui directly hit Aine with a knife.

"It's really strange, after all. Tomorin and I have figured out Ko-chan's pattern! She goes to the bathroom a few minutes before get out of class ends around 10am to light up. In the afternoon, when you, Lonely-chan, are embarrassed to smoke, she waits until school's over and sneaks out to the bathroom to smoke. Usually, when I'm with Ko-chan, there's always a hint of tobacco, but today there's no smell at all... No, it smells like mint!"

"As expected, you are not Ke-chan! Where did you take the real Ke-chan?"

Seeing Aine holding her head and complaining about her bad living habits like a treasure, and even doubting her own identity, Kashiwa Miki felt helpless.

"I've quit smoking. I didn't bring any cigarettes today, but I did bring a lot of lollipops." Kashiwa Sanhui handed Aine a strawberry-flavored lollipop. "Here, I'll give you one."

"Ah, thank you, Ko-chan..." The naive Aine completely forgot she'd just been criticizing Kashiwa Miki's lifestyle. She tidily took the lollipop, unwrapped it, and happily put it in her mouth, savoring the strawberry-flavored industrial sweetener. "Mmm... delicious!"

"Ugh……"

Silly child, you are already a beautiful sixteen-year-old girl, why are you as easy to coax as a six-year-old child?

"Yesterday a friend told me that my health was really bad. After thinking it over, I decided to try to quit smoking."

"One is for my own health, and the other is that smoking is not good for minors like you, Aine. After all, my job is to serve the future of your country."

“…It’s just that it costs too much, right?” Aine said the truth with an innocent look on her face.

Kashiwa Sanhui scratched his head in embarrassment, he was accidentally exposed.

"Hey~"

"Hey, what does that mean?"

……

The principal's wife, wearing an expensive fox fur coat, was sitting in the principal's office on the floor above the infirmary, facing a bearded guy in a cheap suit across the table with some nervousness.

It’s Xiang’s father.

"So, Mr. Toyokawa, while I'm the principal of Hanedaoka Academy," the principal's wife resignedly repeated a statement she'd already made twice. "But Dr. Kashiwa was directly appointed by the board of directors, and the official document of appointment wasn't signed by me, but by the entire board of directors."

"Oh, why don't you understand?"

Father Xiang had a nonchalant expression on his face, but as a guest he crossed his legs quite rudely, and the dirty soles of his leather shoes rubbed against the knitted sofa cover, but the principal's wife dared not say anything.

"Your repayment date is only six months away. If you can't raise enough money within six months, you'll have to mortgage the entire Haneda Academy to our boss."

"Is it the anger of the entire board of directors that will make it difficult for you to deal with it, or is it just the dissatisfaction of a few board members that makes it difficult for you to deal with it now?"

"But, but I really don't have the authority to do that kind of thing. The most I can do is bring it up at the school board meeting."

When the principal's wife heard Xiang's threat, she became completely limp and tried to defend herself weakly.

"Then just mention it. How will you know if you don't try it?"

Father Xiang was holding a small piece of paper with nine digits printed on it.

"Think about it, what kind of life are you living now? What kind of life will it be like in six months?"

"If you work hard and kick Dr. Kashiwa out of Hanegaoka, you might be able to save a few million yen~"

The principal's wife seemed to have thought of something and suddenly became tough. "Mr. Fengchuan, you don't have the right to make decisions for the creditor, do you? The repayment is six months later, and you come to me now to show off your power. Did your superiors allow this?"

"Hmm..." It seemed that what Xiang's father was told hit the mark, and his smug expression weakened a little.

"Forget it, you can think about it anyway. I'll take my leave first."

Xiang's father left, slamming the door loudly, causing the classes upstairs and downstairs to pause for a moment.

The principal's wife looked silently at the photo of Kashiwa Miki on the Uuga personnel roster, lowered her head and said nothing.

Then... just give it a try. It's better to believe it than not to believe it.

Anyway...anyway, Dr. Baihe's family is very wealthy, right? I think he wouldn't need my salary.

...Just try it once. If you fail, I won’t help that bastard anymore.

The principal's wife had no idea that the so-called "handle on Baihe Sanhui" that she was going to use to gain a future advantage was actually a two-way street.

But, there is no turning back...
