When Eiji Hayamizu received a call from his classmate, Uesugi, he had just finished cooking porridge with his girlfriend. This girlfriend was not Onitsuka Kaori, but another girlfriend. Juggling two relationships was just the beginning for Eiji Hayamizu. He now had a fleet of girlfriends. Today, Eiji Hayamizu's fleet of girlfriends was as stable as ever.

"Why not come to my house to talk? My parents went to soak in the hot springs and won't be back until tonight."

Upon hearing Uesugi's invitation, Eiji Hayamizu was too lazy to change his clothes, so he decided to invite Uesugi to his house. As he thought about it, he wished it was one of his other girlfriends coming over instead of Uesugi. He quickly piled up all his miscellaneous and inappropriate belongings in a random place.

Why would Uesugi come to him? He must have needed some help because Uesugi was such a serious and upright person. At first, Eiji Hayamizu didn't care about helping anyone. He only sought out relationships with people who could benefit him. Uesugi Chongzong, in Eiji Hayamizu's initial impression, was the type of person who excelled in academics, sports, and was sincere and upright. Someone like that wouldn't typically associate with Eiji Hayamizu. What made Eiji Hayamizu decide to befriend Uesugi Chongzong, he couldn't quite remember anymore. Was it because of the girls around Uesugi Chongzong? Or was it because of the strange things Uesugi Chongzong did? In any case, Eiji Hayamizu gradually realized that Uesugi Chongzong was not a boring and rigid person.

Their relationship grew closer over time, and Eiji Hayamizu even managed to pass his entrance exams with Uesugi Chongzong's help. Unknowingly, Eiji Hayamizu began owing Uesugi Chongzong a favor. However, after helping to imprison that woman, Eiji Hayamizu felt he had repaid this favor.

After some time, Uesugi Chongzong arrived at the agreed-upon time and rang the doorbell.

-- Even in punctuality, he was so rigid and by-the-book.

While Eiji Hayamizu thought this, he went downstairs and opened the door.

"Oh, Uesugi, it's rare for you to want to come to my house."

"Hmm, I have something to tell you."

His way of speaking was so rigid and uninteresting.

In his mind, Eiji Hayamizu criticized him, but on the surface, he maintained a smile.

"Let's talk in my room. My family isn't home, so feel free to make yourself comfortable, Uesugi."

After inviting Uesugi into his room, Eiji Hayamizu brought in some tea. Despite his carefree demeanor, Eiji Hayamizu still maintained some traditional cultural principles. But he was unaware of this himself.

"What's the situation with that woman?"

Without any pleasantries or small talk, Chongzong went straight to the topic.

This direct approach was probably one of the reasons why Suimizu appreciated Chongzong. He was straightforward and decisive, able to give a clear result, whether it was good or bad.

"There's nothing special, the one I trained is very obedient," he said. However, deep down, Hayami knew that this woman was only cooperating on the surface. To be honest, compared to Hayami's girlfriends, this woman was on a completely different level. Hayami couldn't handle her.

"Well, that's good to hear. And, I have something to ask you this time I came," she continued.

Of course, not a good feeling. Every time the bad ones come true, while the good ones never do. Hayami felt that Chongzong wanted to ask for his help in criticizing something, but on the surface, he pretended to say, "Tell me first, and then we'll see."

"Next week, I need to steal something, and I need your help," Chongzong finally stated.

After hearing Chongzong's request, Hayami pretended to contemplate for a few seconds. Then, he gave his answer that he had already decided on.

"I refuse. I can't help you with this."
