Chapter 340

Class 1-A.

Natsume Chikage, after finishing the wager negotiation with Zhongdao Satoshi, finally returned to the classroom.

He hadn't been sitting in his chair for long after pulling it out.

Saiyonji Xiyuanji Qilai, who was beside him, couldn't help but lean in and ask in a low voice:

"Natsume-kun, you just went to the student council room... you didn't encounter any trouble, did you?"

Yukimura Rin, sitting in front of Natsume Chikage, although she didn't turn her head, her ears moved imperceptibly, clearly also paying attention to the conversation here.

Natsume Chikage shook his head and smiled indifferently:

"It doesn't count as trouble."

Saiyonji Xiyuanji Qilai's face was full of curiosity, and her body leaned forward again unconsciously:

"So, what exactly happened inside? —I'm very curious!!"

Seeing that she was about to stick close as usual, Natsume Chikage hurriedly raised his hand to signal:

"I'll say, I'll say—you sit back first."

Realizing her subconscious action, a faint blush instantly appeared on Saiyonji Xiyuanji Qilai's cute and delicate face.

She shrank back a bit embarrassedly and muttered in a low voice:

"So... what exactly is the matter?"

Natsume Chikage explained:

"Actually, it was just Senior Konoe calling both me and Zhongdao Satoshi over."

"Letting us fulfill that wager she mentioned yesterday."

Saiyonji Xiyuanji Qilai blinked those lively eyes, keenly capturing the key point, and said worriedly:

"But Zhongdao Satoshi... definitely won't let go of this opportunity, right? Did he propose any harsh conditions?"

Yukimura Rin recalled the situation earlier where Zhongdao Satoshi was pestering Tsukishima Rin, turned her head, and frowned slightly:

"It wouldn't be something like requiring you to stay away from Senior Tsukishima, would it?"

Natsume Chikage nodded:

"That's pretty much what it means."

Yukimura Rin intuitively felt that things weren't that simple; she placed her arms on the edge of the table, her cold voice carrying a follow-up question:

"'Pretty much' means what? What exactly is the specific wager?"

Saiyonji Xiyuanji Qilai also leaned in again, her big eyes flickering:

"I—am really very curious!!"

Natsume Chikage didn't intend to hide it and said frankly:

"If I lose, I remain single for three years of high school."

"If he loses, he has to give me that bat he often uses as a collectible, and he cannot interfere with the life of me and those around me in any way in the future."

Yukimura Rin, who was always cold and indifferent, upon hearing this, couldn't help but bite her lip unconsciously, and an nameless fire rose in her heart for no reason.

She didn't know the reason herself.

But now, after hearing this condition, she really, really wanted to scold this idiot in front of her!

Saiyonji Xiyuanji Qilai, after listening, was stunned for a long time, and a sense of annoyance also surged in her heart for no reason.

She even keenly sensed a certain possibility and questioned angrily:

"Natsume-kun, you wouldn't... be thinking that if you really lose, you could just use this reason to spend three years of high school in peace, right?"

Natsume Chikage's eyes brightened slightly, a bit surprised:

"How did you guess?"

Hearing this.

Even someone with a good temper like Saiyonji Xiyuanji Qilai was truly angry at this moment.

She puffed out her cheeks, stood up abruptly, and wanted to say something angrily, but in the end, she could only hold back one sentence:

"I... I'm going to the restroom!"

After saying that.

She walked out of the classroom quickly without looking back, seemingly not wanting to see this "idiot" Natsume Chikage for the time being.

Natsume Chikage was stunned, clearly not expecting her to have such a reaction.

But going to the restroom... why report it specifically?

Yukimura Rin, who was already a bit displeased, frowned even more at this moment and snorted coldly:

"I really don't understand you boys, having to engage in such childish, boring, and stupid wagers!"

"In my opinion, this kind of wager had no need to exist from the beginning!"

"It's purely self-inflicted trouble!"

After finishing her words.

She immediately turned back, with her back to Natsume Chikage, and as usual, tried to focus her attention on the manuscript paper in front of her, continuing to write her new work.

Although after scolding Natsume Chikage, her mood seemed to have eased a little.

But for some reason, her thoughts became even more chaotic and irritable, and the tip of her pen hovered over the paper, unable to fall for a long time.

Natsume Chikage was already used to Yukimura Rin's sharp tongue and didn't take it to heart.

Instead, he thought happily to himself: I am now only two special equipment items away from obtaining the next attribute point.

Once I win the wager, I can harvest two special equipment items at once, which just happens to meet the conditions.

It's killing two birds with one stone, couldn't be better!

Ring-a-ding-ding—

The bell for the end of the last class of the morning rang.

Saiyonji Xiyuanji Qilai, puffing out her small face that hadn't completely dissipated its anger, moved her desk to Natsume Chikage's desk and muttered:

"Rin, it's time for lunch."

Yukimura Rin, upon hearing this, turned around, placed her bento box on Natsume Chikage's desk, lifted the lid, and prepared to eat.

Natsume Chikage saw that she had saury with a golden-yellow color in her bento and asked curiously:

"Yukimura-san, how about I trade my hamburger steak for one of your saury?"

Yukimura Rin, whose mood wasn't exactly bright, had her cold face covered with a layer of thin frost again.

She narrowed her eyes and subconsciously protected her bento box with her hands, protecting her food like a cat:

"No—I want to eat saury today!"

"Alright..." Natsume Chikage turned his gaze to Saiyonji Xiyuanji Qilai's bento, found that it also had saury, and turned to propose: "Saiyonji-san, how about you?"

Saiyonji Xiyuanji Qilai recalled the morning's events, the anger in her heart hadn't completely dissipated, she also puffed out her cheeks, hummed lightly, and also protected her own bento:

"Today... I also especially want to eat fish."
