Chapter 3

Kiyopon POV

    Honami and I walked to school together like normal today, though this time it was pretty awkward. Neither of us knew what to talk about after what happened last night, I decided to take the lead and go for an all or nothing bet.

    I reached out and grabbed her hand, she was immediately very shocked but then smiled. We walked in silence while holding hands, it was very nice. While we were walking a group of classmates spotted us, giggled, and ran towards the classroom, Honami was too flustered to notice this though.

    When we arrived at the classroom everyone was staring at us, at this point I had let go of her hand, though that wasn’t enough to block the amount of attention directed towards us. I sat in my seat and started to unpack my note-taking materials when I got frantic tapping on my shoulder.

“K-Kiyotaka, I forgot my notebook and pencil case”

“Don't worry Honami, here” I handed her a spare notebook I had with me and a pencil, pen, and eraser.

    This wasn’t uncommon at all, in fact, Honami is very clumsy and is capable of losing anything no matter how important it is for daily life.

    Our study session went like normal, though I was still very worried about many of the students. The amount of growth I am seeing at the moment is not to make me say for sure that they won’t fail.

    I asked for Honami’s assistance and went to the cafeteria, I looked around a bit and found a senior that was eating an unapetizing looking vegetable lunch set. We sat down infront of him and he asked for what we wanted, I rescinded by saying

“I want for you too sell me the test answers from your first years midterm”

“...how much are you willing to pay?”

“10,000 is my max”

“Are you crazy? I need 30,000 at least”

    Upon hearing this Honami looked into his eyes with a max level charm spell and it was extremely successful

“Fine… Ill compromise at 25,000”

“10,000”

    Honami continued with her relentless assult, she loudly pleaded for her friends sake, got up from her chair and grabbed the mans hand, and eventually worked the price down to 15,000. I paid him and got the answers along with the answers from our first quiz.

    My total amount of private points had dropped down to 145,000. I had this many points because I hold onto Honami’s aswell, she can manage her finances fairly well, but I am better at it so I hold onto our points.

    We went back to her room and I made us a meal, we sat down next to each other and ate. While we were eating I asked her to say that she got the test questions and not me, I also told her not to announce that we got them until the day before the midterm, it took her a second, but she understood what I was trying to do quickly.

    When the day of the testing came we got top marks and nobody failed in any subject, except for Sudo, who was one point short from getting a passing grade. The room was silent, nobody could say a word as we watched a friend we had only just made get expelled like that.

    I got up and left under the excuse of going to the restroom and gave Honami a reassuring nod, I followed her to the roof where she was taking a smoke break.

“What is it, Ayanokoji?”

“I was just wondering if there was any way we could rescind Sudo’s expulsion?”

“No, there is nothing I can do”

“I know, only us students can take any mesures for something on the scale of preventing expulsion, right?”

“You are certainly saying something strange, Ayanokoji. Howver, it doesn’t seem like you are pointlessly rambling”

“Sell me one test point to add to Sudo’s english grade”

“You are going down that route huh? Well I did say anything can be bought with points, if I turned back on that now I would just be a liar, right? But that doesn’t mean you can afford it”

    A demon-like smile appeared on her face as she took her cigarett out of her mouth and held one finger up towards my face.

“100,000 points, that is how much the test point is worth”

“Done, I will transfer it to you know”

“... Hahahaha, you are an interesting person Ayanokoji Kiyotaka”

“Not really, I’m just average”

“Then, from the viewpoint of an average person, what do you think of equality, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka?”

    This question came out of nowhere, she put her cigarett back in her mouth then faced the other direction while staring out into the sky. I had thought of that word before, but as I spent more time with Honami I had come to a conclusion.

“I think a topic like that would go way over my head, I am just an average person after all” I said as I walked off

“I truly look forward to working with you, Ayanokoji”

    I walked into the classroom, leaned against the door, and with everyone looking at me I spoke out, the pressure in the room was same and it was quite enough to hear a mouse, my words pierced through the ears of everyone in here

“Sudo, you owe me 100,000 points, I paid the teacher off and prevented your expulsion. You can transer the money to me once you have saved up enough money”

    My speech had left everyone dumbfounded as I grabbed my bag and my mistress and prepared to leave. Before I got out Sudo ran up to me and thanked me very kindly and ran off to his practice.

    As I closed the door behind me an uproar broke out within the class and Honami looked at me with a blushing and prideful face

“That’s my butler, there is no problem you can’t solve”

“Thank you very much for your prase, Honami”

“Hey Kiyotaka, do you want to have a date tonight? We could go to a fancy restaurant or something”

“Sorry for the inconvenience Honami, however, we have recently spent 115,000 points, a fancy restaurant can’t really be fit into our budget”

“Oh I see, then you can fix us up a nice meal and we can have a date in my room”

“If that’s your wish, Honami”

    When we were on our way home we were stopped by a blonde-haired senior who said “I had heard about you, Ichinose, I have come here to invite you to the student council”

“Ummm, let me think about it, ok?”

“Alright, I know you, but you might not know me so I’ll introduce myself. My name is Nagumo Miyabi, and I’m the vice president of the student council”

    He walked off after saying this, though he gave me a nasty look before doing that. I had heard about him briefly from a conversation in a cafe that I listened in on. He is popular with girl’s, smart, and handsome.

    I looked at Honami who appeared to be lost in though, she was likely thinking about the pro’s and con’s of joining the student council. I was lost in thought aswell, but my thoughts were more about her lips and how soft they look.

    We stood there for about 5 minutes before Honami got excited and did a little hop and excitedly proclaimed

“I have decided, Kiyotaka… I am going to join the student council!”

    It took me a second to snap out of my daze and when I did I thought about how great she would be on the student council, she already had about 1/3 of all first year students phone numbers, she was popular and also cared about the students of this school a lot.

    I doubt the vice president’s intentions were as pure about Honami’s when it came to joining the student council. I needed to investigate him for now, and if it is necessary, I will treat him as an enemy.

    The rest of our walk back went on without an interruption, we had out dinner date and I prepared to go back to my room, but on a whim I decided to visit the rooftop for some fresh air, and it seemed I wasn’t alone in deciding this because on the rooftop was another girl who I recognized as one of the few thar rivaled Honami when it comes to popularity.

    I turned around to head back as to not disturb her and tried to shut the door without a sound when loud thumping and profanity could be heard from the area near Kushida Kikyo.

“DAMNIT, DAMN HER, GETTING SO FULL OF HERSELF FOR JUST BEING A LITTLE CUTE, AND WHO DOES THAT KANZAKI THINK HE IS?!?!”

    I stopped myself from leaving and pulled out my phone to record her, but instead of staying silent and letting me collect blackmail like a good phone would do it decided to rebel and let out a loud *ding*.

“Huh? Who’s there?” she asked in a low and menacing tone of voice

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to intrude on your privacy, I’m Ayanokoji from Class D”

“Did you hear?”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m asking if you heard me you stupid defect? Well, at this point it doesn’t matter” I looked at her with anticipation as she grabbed my hand and slowly brought it towards her chest “if you tell anyone what you saw today I will tell everyone you raped me, see? There is evidence of fingerprints right here”

    I groped her thick chest and was enveloped in a warm sensation, though I wanted to leave this situation sooner rather than later

“I’m not in any situation to tell anyone anyways right? Now please let me go”

    I walked off in silence, I wondered wether the popular, kind, and cute girl I had heard about from rumors was truly that same girl that I had just met, though it was pointless to think about it too much now.

    I laid in my bed, my mind racing from all of the events that had occurred today. I saved an idiot, got a date, and was threatened. If I came here alone I’m sure my life would be a lot more peaceful, being a butler is a lot of work.
