The words fell.
Silence settled over the scene.
Miura Yumiko hadn't expected Lin Ye could be shameless to such a degree.
Asking her to sleep with him at night—how did he even dare think it.
"What, you don't want to?"
Haruno went on.
Of course, Haruno held absolutely no expectation that Miura Yumiko would agree; she was just teasing, just toying with her.
"Only an idiot would agree."
"So Student Miura's an idiot, then!"
These words nearly made Miura Yumiko laugh in fury.
This man really dared to dream big.
"I refuse, I don't want to."
Miura Yumiko refused in a firm tone, not giving the slightest opening.
"That won't do, I really want to! I'm your boyfriend."
"You're dreaming."
"And what if I trade more information about Hayama for it!"
At this, Haruno reached out and stroked Miura Yumiko's delicate little ear.
A tingling, electric sensation shot through her whole body, and Miura Yumiko nearly crumpled as her legs went weak—
only she was being held tightly by Haruno.
"No need. Alright, you've felt me up enough, I'm going back to class."
With a 'smack,' she knocked away Haruno's hand, which had just landed on her chest.
This bastard, getting bolder and bolder, daring to even touch there.
If this kept up, she'd start to suspect Lin Ye was about to reach inside her clothes and do something.
She absolutely could not let this man run wild; a man pushing his luck inch by inch—this time she'd experienced it firsthand.
From holding hands at first to daring to grope now—fine, very fine, this guy really was something.
"That's not enough."
Haruno wasn't the least bit courteous; her other hand went straight up, and what followed was Miura Yumiko's slapping—she absolutely could not let Lin Ye keep pushing his luck.
"Enough."
She spun around at once, glaring furiously. "Don't think I won't drag us both down together."
She, Miura Yumiko, was willing to throw away her reputation just to stop this bastard of a man.
"Fine, fine, one last request."
"I won't agree."
Miura Yumiko refused flatly, never giving Lin Ye a single chance.
"Hayama has a little secret! I can tell you first, and then you decide whether to agree to my request."
As she said this, Haruno leaned in close to Miura Yumiko's ear.
The sound of breathing came by her ear, and Miura Yumiko felt deeply uncomfortable, the electric sensation from her ear being touched still faintly lingering.
"Hayama, you see—he went to the same elementary school as Yukino."
"I know."
What kind of little secret was that.
"What you don't know is that Hayama did something that directly shattered his relationship with Yukino."
Noticing Miura Yumiko's reaction, Haruno smiled; she'd known Miura Yumiko couldn't possibly be aware of this.
"So, want to know?"
Miura Yumiko didn't answer.
"If you don't want to know, then forget it."
"Tell me."
As expected, Miura Yumiko couldn't resist her inner curiosity; when it came to Hayama's affairs, she still held an extremely high curiosity.
"But I'm warning you, don't make excessive demands. Sleeping with you tonight or whatever—absolutely impossible."
She wasn't about to hand her precious first time over to this man.
"Oh! What does that matter, it's not your first time anyway."
To be honest, even Haruno herself figured Miura Yumiko's first time was still intact; this woman looked like a gyaru, warm and open, but in truth she had to be the absolutely conservative type, the kind who wouldn't casually give herself away.
"I don't want to have relations with a man like you."
"Oh, so your first time really is still intact. I honestly didn't expect a great beauty like you to still have her first time."
"That's none of your business."
Miura Yumiko grew angrier and angrier, on the very verge of fury. "Hurry up and talk, or just forget it."
The next second,
Miura Yumiko saw Lin Ye raise a finger and point—at his own cheek.
What did that mean? It meant he wanted her to kiss him.
That was impossible.
"Impossible. Pick something else."
"Then forget it—unless tonight you..."
Haruno didn't go on, but it was already enough for Miura Yumiko to know what she meant.
Fury, anger?
This bastard really dared to dream, still hadn't given up even now.
"Pick something else."
"No."
After a standoff that lasted a while,
Miura Yumiko found that she truly couldn't persuade the man in front of her, and yet to give up learning that little secret—she couldn't bear that either.
So that in the end, after endless inner struggle, she nodded; she compromised.
It was only a kiss on the cheek—not exactly something unacceptable.
And so,
Miura Yumiko leaned in and, like a dragonfly skimming the water, pecked a kiss on Haruno's left cheek.
Haruno lifted a triumphant smile.
Very good.
Getting Miura Yumiko to take the initiative as a first step had succeeded; next came continuing the education.
"And here too."
That was the right cheek.
This bastard truly had no bottom line.
"Hurry, class is about to start."
Miura Yumiko gritted her teeth, but went through with it anyway.
She kissed him again.
Afterward, Haruno cheerfully wrapped both arms around Miura Yumiko, and Miura Yumiko's first reaction was to break free, but reason restrained her—she'd already kissed him, so what was a mere hug.
And Haruno didn't stop at all; at the very end she even copped a feel.
Miura Yumiko was furious, even wanting to give Lin Ye a thorough beating, but in the end she still held back.
"Alright, I'll tell you now."
Then,
Haruno used the simplest words to finish telling that little bit about Hayama and her Sister Yukino back in elementary school.
At last Miura Yumiko understood why there was a faint rift between Hayama and Yukino Yukinoshita—they'd been at the same elementary school, even in the same class, and yet why their interactions were so awkward.
Now, this puzzle had finally been explained.
Her heart, too, had attained a certain satisfaction.
"I'm heading back."
"So cold—getting your satisfaction and then tossing aside your dear boyfriend."
Hearing this, Miura Yumiko rolled her eyes at Lin Ye, gave a 'hmph,' and left straightaway, with no thought or inclination to stay whatsoever.
Only,
when Miura Yumiko walked out, she unexpectedly discovered a junior girl standing there watching awkwardly.
Isshiki Iroha—that little junior who hovered around Lin Ye.
Heh.
She'd probably seen everything just now.
Miura Yumiko felt a flush of embarrassment inside, but kept a straight face and quickly left.
Compared to her own shame, what she was curious about now was how Lin Ye would handle this afterward—the junior girl had witnessed their intimate scene, so what reaction would she have!
Miura Yumiko left, but she found a spot around a corner and stopped, secretly watching.
She remembered Isshiki Iroha was very forward with Lin Ye; only now, faced with the sight of the two of them hugging and kissing cheeks, could she still keep up her usual attitude?
Surely not!
She thought.
And Haruno soon walked out too, and likewise saw Isshiki Iroha.
This junior girl of Lin Ye's really did follow closely.
"Good afternoon, Isshiki. Just passing by?"
"Uh!"
Isshiki Iroha hadn't expected Senpai could converse with her so casually.
"No, I just saw Senpai and Miura-senpai, so I came over to take a look, and then I saw a shocking scene!"
Because of the distance, she couldn't make out the content of their conversation, but that act alone set her imagination running wild.
Why were Senpai and Miura Yumiko-senpai so intimate.
Although the two were lovers, this was only an outward lover relationship; in essence the two weren't lovers at all, but ordinary classmates—not even amounting to friends.
"So you saw, did you!"
This tone made Isshiki Iroha's heart tremble—was Senpai about to do something to her again, about to use Hypnosis again!
"I, I won't tell, please rest assured, Senpai, my mouth is very tight, I'll never let it out, there's absolutely no need for Senpai to hypnotize me."
Haruno: ???
She seemed to have learned something extraordinary.
Lin Ye could actually use Hypnosis.
Haruno cast her mind back to last night's memory; she couldn't recall how she'd fallen asleep.
Now it seemed she'd probably been hypnotized by Lin Ye.
Shock,
anger,
and helplessness.
Faced with Lin Ye's unfathomable abilities, how could she—an ordinary person—possibly resist.
Perspective, Invisibility, and Hypnosis, plus those various unknown abilities—she truly was no match.
Moreover, having been through a Strange instance, she knew its perils all the better; to make it back out alive, and to bring her back along with him too, showed just how strong Lin Ye was.
"Good. As long as you don't leak it. Otherwise—you understand."
That single line made Isshiki Iroha nod over and over.
"Alright, I'm heading back."
"Mm-hmm."
Watching secretly from afar, Miura Yumiko was astonished—that was it? No questioning at all? Isshiki Iroha was so meek, not even an inquiry? Didn't even dare to question him.
What a useless thing!
Truly not the slightest bit of use,
Miura Yumiko thought silently.
And on the way back,
Isshiki Iroha keenly sensed that Senpai's hands were up to no good.
By now, she kept feeling something was off.
Today's Senpai had just the tiniest bit of a problem about him.
Compared to before, he was like two entirely different people; the old Senpai would never take advantage of a girl of his own initiative, yet today the situation was completely different.
The degree and the frequency formed a stark contrast with before.
Could it be that something was wrong with Senpai?
Isshiki Iroha suddenly recalled Yukinoshita-senpai's change at noon—that was something she'd never done before, that was stopping Senpai from going out.
She connected the two, vaguely arriving at a conjecture.
Something was wrong with Senpai, and Senpai—Yukinoshita—knew it, and wanted to stop it, but didn't have the full standing to stop it.
Which was how the present situation had come about.
Back in her own classroom, Isshiki Iroha sent Yukinoshita-senpai a message—I think Senpai's acting a bit weird today.
—You're overthinking it.
This was the reply from Yukinoshita-senpai.
But this reply made her instantly realize there was a problem.
How could there possibly be no problem?
There was definitely a problem.
Something must be wrong with Senpai, and Yukinoshita-senpai was in the know.
Isshiki Iroha thought it over, organized her words, and sent them.
—Did Senpai's lust flare up today? He took so much advantage of me—at noon too.
She didn't mention the Miura Yumiko matter—after all, she'd promised to keep it secret—but she herself had indeed truly been taken advantage of.
So, something must definitely be wrong.
Isshiki Iroha pondered, hoping Yukinoshita-senpai could reply with some useful information.
However, no reply came; it wasn't until an hour later that she finally received one—Call the police!
Isshiki froze the instant she saw it.
Telling her to just call the police—Yukinoshita-senpai wanted to have Senpai locked up, did she!
Setting aside whether she was even willing to report it, even if she were, Senpai obviously had ways to handle it.
Senpai, with that Hypnosis ability—even the police would have no recourse, unless Senpai's Hypnosis had some limit, like a limit on the number of people, or a limit on time.
Otherwise, truly no one would be a match for him.
Calling the police would be useless; on the contrary, her own action would drag her into a hopeless dead end.
Several Inner World scenarios surfaced in Isshiki Iroha's mind.
Those scenes—unimaginable.
She didn't want to become the heroine of the Inner World in the slightest; that sort of plot—best it not come looking for her.
After that,
Isshiki Iroha didn't send any more messages.
She waited for her after-school date with Senpai.
Senpai was so lewd—who knows, maybe tonight she could bag Senpai.
Senpai had already had his way with her, so wasn't he going to take responsibility for her?
He absolutely had to take responsibility!
Or so Isshiki Iroha thought.
Second-year International Class.
Yukino Yukinoshita was somewhat absent-minded the entire afternoon.
At noon, this sister of hers had surely stirred up a heap of trouble for her.
This sister of hers was nothing but a troublemaker.
Making trouble herself would be one thing, but now she was making trouble using Lin Ye's body—and in the end the one held responsible would be Lin Ye, not her!
She'd asked her sister what she'd done at noon today, but her sister just smiled and yawned, looking utterly unwilling to talk.
With outsiders present, she had no way to interrogate her directly.
"When exactly today are we going to switch back!"
Yukino's head ached. Yesterday Lin Ye and her sister had done a Body Swap, but at least it hadn't lasted especially long; today it was already nearly half a day with no sign of switching back—surely it wasn't going to keep on like this forever!
If that were the case, Yukino wouldn't even know how to handle it, and could only think to get things wrapped up as fast as possible.
Ring-a-ling.
The after-school bell rang.
Haruno wanted to leave the very first moment, but with her Sister Yukino watching her, she gave a 'heh-heh' grin; she wanted to go, but for now she'd endure it a bit.
Once most of the class's students had cleared out, Yukino lowered her voice and said, "Come with me to the Service Club. You're not allowed to go anywhere else."
"That won't do, I have a date with a cute little junior; with good luck, who knows, I might even get to have a happy little friendly match with the cute little junior."
What was that supposed to mean?
Yukino, of course, knew.
Now that her sister had a man's body, her true nature had erupted completely!
"I'll tell Lin-kun."
"Go ahead and tell him—that's even better, isn't it? Me helping break his body in is perfectly convenient for his own enjoyment down the road, no?"
Yukino's lips twitched; at her sister's utterly shameless behavior, she truly seethed with anger.
"Alright, Yukino, you know perfectly well you can't keep me in check. I have my limits, relax!"
Haruno patted Yukino's shoulder and left.
Leaving only Yukino Yukinoshita alone in the classroom.
