Chapter 336: Advantage Is Huge, Shiki-nee Is Seductive!

"Mikiya, is that your girlfriend?"

Kokutou Mikiya returned to the logistics students, and a male student immediately leaned over and nudged him with his elbow, asking with some teasing.

"No, that's Ryougi Shiki's classmate's friend; they came to cheer for Ryougi Shiki's classmate, and I just happened to know them too, so I entertained them a bit."

Black-pupiled Mikiya shook his head and explained.

"Really not? That beautiful girl in the red cotton jacket who was talking to you isn't?"

The student was somewhat doubtful.

"Don't talk nonsense; she has a proper partner."

Kokutou Mikiya said seriously.

"You still like Ryougi?"

The male student looked at him, thought for a bit, then asked.

"Mm."

Kokutou Mikiya didn't deny it.

"But I heard the other party often eats lunch with other male students."

"Where did that rumor come from?"

"Some girls in the class said it."

"That was probably me."

"Wait, you actually managed to pursue that Ryougi?"

The student instantly widened his eyes.

"No, it's just that sometimes we eat lunch together, that's all."

Kokutou Mikiya hurriedly denied it.

"That's still amazing; that reclusive Ryougi classmate is actually willing to eat lunch with a guy like you.

Right, I also heard the other party's family is that one; do you know?"

"Which one is 'that one'?"

"The Yakuza."

"Oh, I know that one."

Kokutou Mikiya nodded, but he had only heard it mentioned by Fujimura Taiga; he hadn't actively investigated Ryougi Shiki's family situation.

"Then do I have to call you Yakuza Young Master from now on?"

"How could it be that far; we just sometimes lean together to eat lunch, and it's not even just the two of us eating; I'm just a thick-skinned lunch buddy who leaned in; the one who actually eats with her is someone else."

"Eh, who?"

"Broly."

"Who's that; does our school have a student with such a strange name?"

"Not a student from our school, but a boy connected to Fujimura-sensei; Ryougi classmate is somewhat reclusive, you know that; and that boy, at Fujimura-sensei's suggestion, accompanies Ryougi classmate to eat lunch."

Kokutou Mikiya explained.

Of course, part of what he said had been modified.

For example, the reason Broly and Ryougi Shiki eat lunch together is that Broly treats Ryougi Shiki as his wife and often brings her lunch.

But there's also a part that's true: Fujimura Taiga wants to change Ryougi Shiki's originally somewhat reclusive nature.

The reason for modifying it like this is because Kokutou Mikiya also doesn't want rumors like "Ah, so that Ryougi Shiki actually likes a little shota" to spread in the school.

No need to doubt; in school, it's only natural for people who don't fit in to be rejected; it's just that Ryougi Shiki always has a dedicated car for pickup and drop-off, and some people who knew the girl's family background once spread news of her Yakuza family background, so others didn't dare go too far.

If it were an ordinary person, they'd probably either become an invisible person or become a target for bullying.

"Eh, is that how it is? Then what's your situation?"

"I want to pursue Ryougi classmate; I was also entrusted by Fujimura-sensei to become Ryougi classmate's friend; well, up to now, that's all there is."

"Tch, I thought you'd made some big progress, kid."

The student was a bit bored.

"Trouble, get a male student over here to help move some stuff."

A girl shouted from over there.

"Mikiya, I'm going to help; things here are entrusted to you."

The student left in a flash; Kokutou Mikiya saw the girl over there and found her very beautiful; no wonder his friend was like that.

"Progress, huh; there certainly is progress……"

Kokutou Mikiya muttered to himself, his gaze looking toward the lawn; Ryougi Shiki, still in a kimono, was already over there talking with Broly and the others.

And Fujimura-sensei was also there; although the distance was too far and the noisy sounds in the field made it impossible to hear what they were saying, looking at Fujimura-sensei clenching her fist and waving it up and down, and the troubled look on the kimono girl's face.

Fujimura-sensei is probably cheering Ryougi classmate on; Fujimura-sensei is indeed a good teacher, but her enthusiasm always gives Ryougi classmate a headache.

Especially with a boy next to her; Broly is also imitating Fujimura-sensei's manner, cheering her on.

And it might not be just the boy doing this; the other girls beside him are also imitating this cheering; Ryougi classmate's current headache level can probably be multiplied by the number of people cheering her on.

【Even when troubled, she's beautiful!】

Kokutou Mikiya thought so; he wasn't too nervous; this was his harvest after becoming a lunch buddy; he had figured out the situation between Ryougi Shiki and Broly.

Both of them are existences that lack common sense and are abnormal; Broly's abnormality lies in lacking common sense and having too many wives.

Ryougi Shiki's abnormality lies in that, even after knowing the boy has too many girls who can be called wives, she still interacts with the boy calmly, and even interacts friendly with the other girls the boy calls wives.

From this, according to the saying that love is selfish, excluding the possible existence of a cuckoldry fetish, Kokutou Mikiya confirmed that between Broly and Ryougi Shiki, no feelings similar to romance had been produced.

Even between the boy and the other girls, no similar feelings had been produced.

The so-called wives in Broly's mouth are more like close female friends.

After all, even Fujimura-sensei is his wife, and she even wanted his younger sister Fresh Flower to become a wife too, only to be refused by his sister without any hesitation.

And after confirming this point, Kanata felt completely at ease; although his relationship with Ryougi Shiki had never progressed beyond friendship, Broly also hadn't put excessive pressure on him, like the role of a familiar neighbor's younger brother.

The current Kanata also completely treated Broly as a child, rather than some love rival or competitor.

Even if Ryougi Shiki occasionally made some intimate gestures toward the boy, like wiping rice stuck at the corner of his mouth and eating it, in Kanata's view it was merely an older sister's care for a younger brother.

Kanata felt he had a chance, and even felt his advantage was great, and his age being not much different from Ryougi Shiki's was his greatest advantage.

Now, the relationship between Broly and Ryougi Shiki — to call them lovers would be less accurate than calling them friends, and he, Kanata, was also Ryougi Shiki's friend.

Currently, Broly brings lunch for Ryougi Shiki, but recently Kanata has also been making bentos, sharing his lunch with the boy and Ryougi Shiki.

Broly is very gentle toward Ryougi Shiki; although he sometimes behaves in a way that lacks common sense, he also shows concern for the girl in the details.

But he himself can be equally gentle; he just lacks an opportunity to show it, and once he has the chance, he can also show meticulous care for Ryougi Shiki — and the kind with common sense.

For example, he would never, when she gets her period, directly go get Fujimura-sensei's sanitary pads and hand them to her urging her to use them, and even propose using his palm to help rub her belly.

Of course, this is the advantage of Broly still being a child; even if he bluntly does these things and says these words, it won't make people think he's a pervert.

But presumptuous is still presumptuous; a normal person should, as he thought, when first learning a girl is on her period, go to the vending machine to buy red bean sugar water hot drink, and hand it to her with an offhand attitude.

And afterwards, he should note the time, and whenever the time comes, brew brown sugar water at home and bring it, then casually ask her to drink it.

As for things like sanitary pads, he cannot be as direct as Broly, but he can buy them, put them in an opaque bag, and hand them to the girl without needing to say explicitly what they are.

Behaviors like this kind of care that needs no words are things he can also do.

At that time, he would not be presumptuous, nor would he be rude; he would only, at the edge of the sense of distance where Ryougi Classmate feels safe, express his utmost concern.

And just as Kanata was working while thinking about how he would do things if he got the chance, the Kanjo Gakuen Spring Sports Festival had already progressed to the class group relay race event.

Since it was a school-internal sports festival, there was no requirement for participating students to wear any specific clothes.

Therefore, among the competing athletes some wore proper white T-shirt, black shorts sportswear sets, while others competed in casual clothes with only headbands representing their group colors tied on.

However, only Ryougi Shiki competed wearing a kimono and geta.

"Sensei, is it really okay for her to appear wearing that kind of outfit?"

"We're not targeting her, but her kimono and geta — never mind running, I'm afraid even brisk walking would be a problem."

"Ryougi Classmate, why don't you change into different clothes and shoes?"

After hearing the other students' complaints, the homeroom teacher had no choice but to discuss it with Ryougi Shiki.

"No need to change, I didn't bring other clothes and shoes, and I'm also not used to wearing other people's things."

The male personality was already online; Shiki Ryougi (Weaving Personality) directly refused the request for her to change clothes and shoes.

She looked at the other girls participating in the relay race and said to the homeroom teacher: "They think I can't run like this, but that's just because they don't usually wear kimono and geta; actually, me, who is already accustomed to this attire, can run like this, and would run even faster than them."

"Alright, since Ryougi Classmate is confident."

The homeroom teacher looked at the other girls.

"You all heard what she said too."

"That's unfair; what if because of her our class loses……"

"If we lose it counts on me, on the premise that you don't run too slow."

Shiki Ryougi (Weaving Personality) interjected a step ahead before the homeroom teacher could speak.

At this, the homeroom teacher shrugged; she also didn't dare to be too forceful with the girl.

You have to know, the Ryougi Family is not only yakuza, but also big financial backers; Kanjo Gakuen has accepted their donations.

Before the relay race started, a small conflict occurred.

But Ryougi Shiki's class still let the kimono girl take the field in that absurd outfit.

The other competing girls glanced at each other, and at the call of the prettiest girl huddled to one side, as if discussing the relay baton running order.

As for Ryougi Shiki, Komori Nana merely told her: "Since Ryougi Classmate is this confident, then you run the anchor leg."

"Okay."

The kimono girl nodded.

"That guy Ryougi Shiki is too hateful, saying losing counts on her, we must give her a lesson."

"But how, do we intentionally run slow?"

"No good, if we do that and lose, she'll have an excuse to say it's our fault; we must run neither fast nor slow, I just don't believe she can really run wearing a kimono and geta."

"But what if she really can run?"

"Then I'll play a trick when handing her the baton, deliberately make the baton drop."

"Won't work, if we don't win that way, won't it become your fault?"

"Relax, she hasn't trained for relay races; when passing the baton I'll definitely pass normally, just the speed will be a bit fast; if she can't catch it, that's her problem."

The other girls running the relay discussed a plan to embarrass Ryougi Shiki, and the relay baton race started very soon.

"Go for it, Ryougi~"

Broly's side had already taken out cheering flags and was waving them around acting as cheerleaders.

And this cheering method came from Fujimura Taiga; according to her, when she was a child at sports festivals, the Fujimura Group people cheered for her like this.

"That idiot……"

Stepping onto the field wearing a kimono and geta didn't make Shiki Ryougi (Weaving Personality) nervous, but Broly's current cheerleading posture made her a bit unable to hold it together, a feeling of wanting to bury her head in a crack in the ground.

Fortunately, this mortifying feeling didn't last too long, because the relay baton race had already reached the second leg.

Her class's competing athlete, with the advantage of leading in fourth place, passed the baton to the third leg runner.

The girl who received the third leg, heard to be a Track and Field Club member, ran quickly toward her side, overtook second place, and arrived here.

【Ryougi Classmate, you better catch it!】

Komori Nana had always been displeased with Ryougi Shiki's transcendent status in class; now having a chance to mess with her, this Track and Field Club girl held nothing back.

She didn't match her speed, but instead used a professional relay baton runner's fast baton-passing method that ordinary students would find hard to catch, passing the baton in her hand toward Ryougi Shiki's hand.

As expected, due to the speed not being synchronized, the baton pass was too fast, the relay baton slipped from the hand and flew out, forcing Ryougi Shiki (Weaving Personality), who was already preparing to accelerate forward, to stop and turn back to pick up the dropped baton.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, the other classes' relay baton runners one after another completed their overtaking; the students of Ryougi Shiki's class in the distance only felt the situation was terrible.

"We're doomed."

"Last place."

"What's going on?"

"Sorry, I thought you were amazing, didn't know you can't even catch a stick."

Komori Nana was apologizing with her mouth, but her tone carried some mockery, making it impossible to tell whether she was truly apologizing or being sarcastic in front of the kimono-clad girl.

In response, Ryougi Shiki (Weaving Personality) didn't speak, merely picked up the relay baton from the ground, then leaned over and suddenly sprinted off.

The commentator student had originally been lamenting this serious baton-pass mistake for Ryougi Shiki's class, but the next moment surprised voices replaced the lament.

"Although Ryougi-classmate is wearing a kimono and geta unsuitable for running, she is now displaying astonishing speed..."

"One, two, three — she has closed the gap created by the baton-pass mistake; now ahead of her remains only the last runner, that is the Track and Field Club second-year student's ace runner, can she still catch up?"

"Want to surpass me, dream on!"

Originally thinking it was just a casual relay race, didn't expect there would be an expert; the Track and Field Club ace running at the very front immediately accelerated.

But it was no use...

"Ryougi-classmate caught up, and overtook, leading by a body length, crossed the finish line..."

The commentator student was very excited; a race without suspense struggles to stir the audience's emotions, but a situation like this where unexpected circumstances appear and she relies on individual strength to retrieve the disadvantage and complete a counter-kill can make one's blood boil.

After the kimono-clad girl recovered the disadvantage and surpassed the runner ahead, crossing the finish line with the posture of first place, what greeted her was somewhat passionate cheers and applause.

Ryougi Shiki (Weaving Personality) couldn't help but be a bit out of breath after stopping; it was the first time she had been made the object of cheers and applause by a group of strangers.

【Humans, actually aren't that hateful...】

Very abruptly, she gave birth to this strange thought.

After the participating athletes of each class gathered together, Ryougi Shiki (Weaving Personality) only then directed her gaze toward the Track and Field girl who had sabotaged the third leg.

For ordinary people, this person's baton-pass mistake just now was certainly just an accident.

But for the Track and Field Club coach watching from outside the field, the other party detected something amiss.

Reasonably speaking, a runner like Komori Nana who often runs relay races would find it very difficult to make a baton-pass mistake.

At this moment the teacher responsible for the Track and Field Club walked over rather seriously to inquire about the situation just now.

"Komori Nana, what exactly happened, running a school relay race and still making this kind of baton-pass mistake?"

This Track and Field girl Komori Nana, just wanting to make Ryougi Shiki lose face, forgot about herself who still has to participate in the City-level Relay Race this year.

If a mistake appears, it might cause the Track and Field Club coach to replace her; currently her complexion is somewhat pale, she fundamentally doesn't know how to defend herself.

"Sorry, it was me just now whose hand slipped and failed to catch the relay baton she handed over; fortunately we didn't lose the race."

Ryougi Shiki (Weaving Personality) walked over and said; the Track and Field Club coach's complexion only then eased slightly, and in turn asked the kimono-clad girl if she had any willingness to join the Track and Field Club.

And after being explicitly refused by Ryougi Shiki (Weaving Personality), this coach was somewhat disappointed, but didn't entangle further, obviously knowing the girl's Yakuza family background.

【She didn't discover my sabotage, even spoke up for me, truly...】

Komori Nana's mocking thought hadn't yet formed when Ryougi Shiki leaned close and spoke softly in her ear.

"I'll let you off this time, but remember there won't be a next time; I won't keep showing mercy to a guy who harbors malice toward me."

【She knows, she knows everything...】

Komori Nana's eyes widened.

"Remembered, don't make mistakes again from now on."

Ryougi Shiki (Weaving Personality) stuffed the relay baton back into the Track and Field girl's hand, turned and left.

Left behind in the original spot was only a girl who took the stick, staring blankly at her departing back.

"Komori Nana, are you okay?"

The other two leg runners walked over, originally wanting to comfort their friend.

"Ryougi-classmate, she seems kinda cool..."

But didn't expect to hear their friend say such words.

However, this is also no wonder; the Male Personality Shiki originally brims with a boyish air.

Now having been sabotaged but instead actively forgiving the girl who sabotaged her, the approach of a close-range warning, invisibly plucked the heartstrings of an adolescent girl.

Of course, Ryougi Shiki (Weaving Personality) doesn't know she was fallen for; right now she is troubled by the situation before her.

"Young Master, you've finally got your own youth too!"

The butler who has long been responsible for taking care of her was moved unusually, a camcorder still in his hand.
