The scene fell into silence once again, but it was soon interrupted by a voice.

"Lord Ryuto, why did you stop me just now?" Hiyori asked angrily, the first time she had ever spoken to Ryuto so harshly.

"......"

On the other hand, Ryuto did not answer, only wearing a rather serious expression.

Well, in this kind of situation, ordinary people would react the same way.

Just then.

"Finally found you."

A familiar voice came from behind.

In an instant.

"Ugh..."

A cry of pain as Ryuto's body was sent flying from a flying kick.

"Ah, Miss Asuka."

Hiyori, seeing the newcomer, exclaimed in surprise.

"Hiyori, you suddenly disappeared just now, and I've been looking for you for so long."

"It's because Lord Ryuto..."

Before she could finish, she was interrupted.

"Ouch, that hurts. Asuka, what are you doing?"

Ryuto, holding the spot where he was kicked, rolled over and was about to struggle to get up.

"Oh... What am I doing?"

In response, Asuka wore a terrifying expression and, without waiting for Ryuto to stand up, sat directly on his upper body, pinning him to the ground.

"I was going to ask you about what happened this afternoon."

Facial twitches and a terrifying smile.

"Uh... this afternoon? I didn't do anything."

Ryuto innocently replied.

"Oh... you didn't do anything? Are you sure you didn't do anything shameful? Let me tell you, I saw it all."

"Anything shameful? No, I didn't. By the way, Asuka, if you saw everything, were you secretly following us? Don't you have a meeting at work?"

"Oh... Who said that? Of course I was not following, I only came after school."

"Is that so? It seems I misunderstood. Then let's go back."

"Oh..."

Asuka agreed accordingly, but...

"Hey, I almost fell for your tricks, you stupid brother. Come on, tell me, what did you guys do this afternoon?"

She quickly realized.

"Is it necessary to ask?"

"Of course."

Saying that, Asuka brought her face closer, looking as if she was about to devour him.

Hey, this is scary.

"Well... fine then."

Regardless, if I don't agree here, there might be a bloodbath. Ryuto was certain of that.

"We didn't do anything much, we were just forced to go shopping together."

"Forced?"

Both Asuka and Hiyori murmured at the same time.

"Yeah, although it wasn't clear from the beginning, that was basically the situation. It seems like the other person just wanted to use me in the end."

"You were forced?"

Hey, is that the main point here? Did I get it wrong?

However, Ryuto decided it would be best not to delve into that point.

"Yeah, definitely. Originally, I didn't want to go, especially since I had a meeting at work."

Because my grades were already not good, and if I missed more classes, my situation would become even more dangerous.

"Don't want to go? What if it's with me?"

Asuka suddenly said something inexplicable.

To this, Ryuto asked with great confusion.

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

While Asuka closed her eyes tightly and shouted loudly.

"Stop asking, just say it."

"Um...well..."

Isn't this going to waste my precious gaming time? Recently, my gaming time has been severely reduced due to various troubles. How can I make a compromise here?

Seeing Ryuto hesitating, Asuka raised an eyebrow.

"Huh?"

"Well...of course!"

Immediately, he cleverly changed his mind. After all, life is more precious.

"Is...is that so?"

Asuka's gaze turned to another direction as she said that.

"By the way, Miss Asuka, can you leave first? It's kind of heavy here."

"..."

Without saying a word, Asuka just frowned and punched Ryuto in the chest.

"Ouch..."

A scream came again.

"Hmph..."

Then she left Ryuto's body, this time turning her face away, somewhat angry.

Fortunately, there was a brief rest in between. If it were a combo attack, the HP gauge would probably be empty by now. By the way, I don't think I have an automatic HP recovery skill.

Ryuto struggled to get up from the ground.

"Well then, Asuka, you should go home first!"

"Huh? I go back first, don't we go together?"

"No, I still have something to do with Hiyori, right?"

Although Hiyori wasn't quite clear, she still agreed.

"Yes."

But Asuka couldn't be dismissed so easily, she just said something inexplicable with a skeptical look.

"Are you going to see someone else again?"

"Why would I?"

Well, although I don't know what she means, I answered like that for now.

"Okay, Asuka, go back. I'll be done soon."

"...Alright then, remember to come back quickly."

Although reluctantly puffing her cheeks, Asuka didn't say anything more.

"Ah...of course."

With that said, Ryuto and Asuka left together.
