Shirakawa Miwa was a gentle teacher who was also very beautiful and quite popular at school.
She had a deep impression of Shinomiya Natsuha. Not only was she charming, but she also excelled academically and seemed highly skilled in sports. She was outstanding in every aspect. However, she hadn't expected her to know Kazuma—and their relationship seemed rather close.
A storm brewed in Shirakawa Miwa's mind. Over the past few days, not only Shinomiya Natsuha but several other girls had been connected to him. Even the troublesome gyarus from before had become much more well-behaved.
It all seemed to be because of him.
In that sense, he had indeed helped quite a lot.

As Shirakawa Miwa was lost in thought, the infirmary door finally opened. Kazuma stepped out, fully dressed, his uniform neat and tidy, as if he had simply rested for a while and done nothing else.
There wasn't a trace of guilt on his face. Seeing Shirakawa Miwa, he feigned surprise.
"Teacher Shirakawa? Why are you here?"
Sakurazawa Tomomi followed behind him, also showing no embarrassment. She first winked at Shinomiya Natsuha, then bowed slightly.
"Teacher Shirakawa, I'm sorry. I wasn't feeling well this morning, so I rested in the infirmary."
Like Kazuma, she had already known the teacher had arrived.
"I came to check on you two. It's good that you're alright," Shirakawa Miwa smiled gently before looking at Kazuma with a slightly suspicious gaze. "But Kazuma-kun, you don't look sick to me."
"I have a headache," Kazuma said quickly, covering his forehead. "Teacher Shirakawa, you won't mark me absent, right?"
"No…" What else could she say? Shirakawa Miwa sighed, then took an envelope from her pocket and handed it to him. "This is something Mira-nee asked me to give you."
That was her main reason for coming.
"Oh? From Miss Mira? What is it?"
It couldn't be a love letter, could it? Kazuma figured Mira wasn't that childish. If she wanted to confess, she'd probably create something far more extravagant.
"According to her, it's an invitation. Take a look yourself."
Neither Sakurazawa Tomomi nor Shinomiya Natsuha knew Mira Tsubakihara, so they leaned in curiously. Kazuma didn't stop them. After opening the envelope, he found an elegant, gold-trimmed invitation card along with a letter.
"A ball on June 4th? That's the weekend… She'll come pick me up once I'm ready…"
Of course, the letter contained more—some casual remarks about being busy with work lately and not having time to see him. Kazuma folded the letter and invitation and put them away.
"A banquet hosted by a prestigious family… sounds like a hassle."
"Well, I'll deal with it when the time comes. There's still a week."
"Kazuma, who is this Miss Tsubakihara?" Sakurazawa leaned closer, unconsciously pressing against him. Her soft pink hair brushed against his ear. "Is she someone outside the school?"
"A very influential figure," Kazuma said as he carefully stored the letter. "A noblewoman. Simply put—a rich lady."
"Then how does she know you?"
Sakurazawa Tomomi's eyes sparkled as she pressed further.
"What else? She's taken a liking to me. Sigh… I've been kept by a rich lady."
"…"
"…"
In Class 1-B's classroom, Sakurazawa Tomomi moved her desk next to Kazuma's, pushing it close so they were connected. Seeing Kanna Hiiragi struggling to move her desk, she quickly went over to help.
"Kanna-san, let me help you."
"Thank you," Kanna Hiiragi said, watching as Sakurazawa Tomomi lifted the desk effortlessly, without the slightest strain. Her eyes widened, her mouth slightly open. "Even though I knew I'd become much stronger after evolving, seeing it in person is still shocking."
Girls can become this powerful too? It feels like those muscular women from manga, yet Sakurazawa Tomomi doesn't seem to have muscles, no different from me—no, she seems to have become even prettier?
"I think even strong adult men are not as good as her," Akane Nanao also watched the scene, guessing with wide eyes.
"You can just call me by my name," Sakurazawa Tomomi helped connect the desks. Everyone sat together and took out their bento boxes. Today, they didn't go out but ate lunch in the classroom. "Actually, I've always wanted to get to know Kanna and Akane."
"Then Tomomi? We're happy to know you too," Kanna Hiiragi clasped her hands together. Although they were classmates before, her interactions with Sakurazawa Tomomi were indeed not many. But now, because of Kazuma, everyone was slowly coming together.
Like a bond, connecting them.
"Even girls can become this amazing. Evolution is truly extraordinary," the two girls, who already knew Sakurazawa Tomomi had evolved and had witnessed her strength firsthand, still couldn't help but exclaim.
"Sorry, I thought it should have been you two first…"
Sakurazawa Tomomi was embarrassed.
"It's okay, we don't really mind," Akane Nanao giggled and leaned closer to Sakurazawa Tomomi. "I'm just a little curious, Tomomi. You've become so strong—do you have abs? Let me touch them~"
"Abs?" The Sakura girl blushed profusely. "I don't have any."
"She really doesn't, I can vouch for that," Kazuma, who was feeding the cat, looked up, earning glares from Kanna Hiiragi and Akane Nanao. He added, "She has muscles, but they're not very obvious. Evolution is mainly reflected internally, though there are external changes too. You must have noticed, right?"
"Tomomi has grown taller, her figure is better, and she's become more perfect."
Akane Nanao propped her chin thoughtfully. "Kazuma, now that you mention it, I suddenly feel jealous. What should I do? Becoming prettier and having this kind of skin—I want it too—"
Indeed, compared to strength, charm is more attractive to girls. Although they were already beautiful, who wouldn't want to become even more beautiful?
"I'll arrange it for you soon. Oh, by the way, Tomomi, don't you have a welcome gift for Akane and Kanna?" Kazuma winked, smiling mischievously. "Show it to them."
"Why bring a gift? That's too embarrassing. Is this milk?"
"It's Tomomi's breast milk"
"…"
Seeing the milk bottle Sakurazawa Tomomi placed on the table and hearing Kazuma's explanation, the two girls froze. Kazuma noticed their subtle expressions, while Sakurazawa Tomomi covered her face with her hands. He sat down on a chair with Luna in his arms and explained:
"Don't underestimate it. This milk has extraordinary properties. Drinking more is good for your health. Hurry up and try it."
"Sorry, Tomomi, we don't mean to be disgusted—it's just a bit unexpected," Akane Nanao opened her bento box and pushed it toward Kazuma. "Although we know about your constitution, Tomomi, we didn't expect it to be so special."
"I feel like Kazuma would really like it, so I'll leave it for you," Hiiragi Kanna looked down at her own full breasts, then at Akane's. Her breasts and Nanao's were large, not smaller than Sakurazawa Tomomi's, but they didn't have that special constitution. She envied her.
"I can save on milk money in the future."
"But I eat more. I feel like my appetite has grown a lot," Sakurazawa Tomomi covered her stomach.
Eating so much in front of the person she liked, she always felt it was very unladylike.
"I can share some of mine with you…"
Seeing them getting along so harmoniously, Kazuma ate his sandwich with a knowing smile. Lunch was sandwiches made by Akane and Kanna, filling the bento boxes to the brim.
"Kazuma, I've been thinking of finding a part-time job somewhere." It was quite common for Japanese high school students to work part-time, many of them daily-paid jobs. Kanna Hiiragi also had the idea.
"Are you short on money?"
"Yes, my pocket money isn't quite enough," Kanna Hiiragi was too embarrassed to ask Mira-nee or Fuyuka-senpai, even though they were close and practically family. The main thing was that she wanted to buy some gifts for Kazuma, and she couldn't use other people's money, could she?
"I generally looked around, and there are many places for odd jobs. Maid cafés, bookstores, and convenience stores are all hiring. Originally, people from a photography studio also approached me, but I refused. I know what kind of photos those people take."
With Kazuma around, she naturally avoided such things.
"If it's for money, you don't necessarily have to work part-time," Kazuma opened the lid and took a sip of the milk. "Kanna, have you forgotten my ability? Although I've been living off others lately, making money is very easy for me."
He was just too lazy to do it.
"You have the nerve to say that—I treated you to ramen back then~"
"Times have changed, don't you understand?" Kazuma's forehead was covered in black lines.
"Hehe, compared to back then, there really have been big changes," she chuckled, then straightened up. "But spending Kazuma's money is out of the question. I still want to be self-reliant. At worst, I'll just ask Mira-nee to introduce me to a job."
Kanna Hiiragi wasn't narrow-minded either.
"What were you just talking about? Part-time jobs?"
As they chatted, Izumi Nogami suddenly walked over. She had overheard their conversation. "If you want to work part-time, you can come to me. I can help."
As a powerful and influential gyaru, she could naturally help. "Forget part-time jobs—helping you open a company wouldn't be a problem."
She held her head high, her expression arrogant.
"Oh," Kazuma took a sip of milk and grinned mischievously, "then I want to open an idol agency, Izumi. Can you help me?"
"Kazuma, are you deliberately trying to annoy me…?"
The gyaru, as expected, showed a resentful expression and lightly stomped her foot, causing the other three girls to cover their mouths and snicker. Compared to before, she had changed a lot and was even cuter now.
