After a busy weekend, it was once again Monday, September 11th.

"Sigh, I'm really exhausted," Ryuto complained as soon as he sat down.

At that moment, Ono Sengoku walked over.

"What's wrong? My comrade, seems like you had a fulfilling weekend."

"Of course, it was really fulfilling. I didn't even have time to sleep."

"...Even so, you were probably just playing games and reading comics, right?"

"Of course, there's nothing more important to me than that."

"...Is that so?"

Although he was used to it, Ono Sengoku still found himself at a loss for words at times like this.

Just then, there was a sound of the classroom door opening and their homeroom teacher, Fujisawa Hayashi walked in.

"Alright, everyone, it's almost time for class. Take your seats."

The classroom quickly became quiet.

Fujisawa Hayashi stood at the front of the classroom and glanced at everyone.

"It seems like everyone is just as lethargic as they were on last Monday."

"..."

However, no one responded. Perhaps everyone didn't even have the energy to answer.

"Speaking of which, it's quite coincidental. Just like last Monday, we have a new student in our class today."

As soon as he said that, the classroom erupted in chaos.

Hey, hey, weren't you all just too tired to even speak?

"Is it true?"

"Is it a boy or a girl?"

"Although a girl is nice too, I hope it's a boy."

Hey, hey, you guys in the front. Is the new student's gender the only thing you care about? Can't you have a bit more substance?

And you, at the end, completely ignoring gender. Are you perhaps too enlightened, already at the point of accepting both genders?

"Actually, this new student might be someone everyone knows. So, please welcome the new student."

After saying that, Fujisawa Hayashi extended his hand towards the door.

As the door opened, someone quickly walked in.

At that moment, the whole class let out a sound.

"Oh..."

However, only a few, including Ryuto, had a slightly different reaction.

"Ah..."

They expressed a different kind of surprise.

"I'm sure everyone knows already, but this princess is Tensyoin Miyuki. Nice to meet you all."

"Oh..."

The class immediately erupted with excitement. It's true, this guy seems to be a well-known idol by now.

Even so...

"Why are you here?"

Ryuto couldn't help but ask.

"Aren't you in Class A?"

"Ah, it seems darling is here too."

With that, Miyuki swiftly rushed over, unable to see with her eyes, and then hugged Ryuto without hesitation.

"Huh?"

This time, including Ryuto, the whole class exclaimed in unison.

This was followed by a brief moment of silence. Could this be the calm before the storm, as if to confirm Ryuto's speculation? In the next moment, everyone's shouts erupted, and the classroom exploded in chaos.

"What on earth is going on!"

"Miss Miyuki is about to be defiled."

"Amagi, are you tired of living? How dare you lay a hand on my girl."

The curses continued without end, no, it wasn't just curses, even objects were being thrown.

Hey, stop throwing erasers randomly, and also, erasers are one thing, but even the backpack? Are you okay?

No, throwing things randomly has long been abnormal.

"Hey, Miyuki, why are you here?"

Maintaining the same posture, Miyuki smiled.

"Why? Do you even need to ask? Of course, it's because darling is here."

"That's not what I meant. I meant, how did you manage to end up in this class? Could it be...?"

The answer was filled with malicious delight.

"No wonder you're darling, figuring it out so quickly. Just as darling thought, I just used my ability a little."

"Don't use your ability so recklessly, and can't you see how bad the situation is now? Can you please let go?"

"Oh! You want me to let go. Does darling want me to hug them? Alright, no problem!"

"That's not it. Why would you reach that conclusion at all?"

"Then let's just stay like this."

And so, there was no intention to let go whatsoever.

"And you're holding on too tight, it's like I can't breathe, especially around the chest."

"Hehe, quite the weight, isn't it?"

"Hey..."

This person's strength is unreal, I can't push them away at all.

Just as I thought that, a murderous aura emanated from somewhere. Well, even though the classroom was already filled with killing intent, this felt different. It was a stronger and colder gaze, and being stared at by that gaze felt like it was piercing through me.

I looked towards the source.

"Until when do you plan on hugging? And you're even using that as a weapon."

Asuka's face twitched unnaturally, staring at us with a terrifying gaze.

"Lord Ryuto, care to explain?"

Hiyori also stared at us with an unusually serious expression.

"Even if you ask like that, I still don't know."

But it seems like they didn't accept that explanation. The whole class surrounded Ryuto, indicating that they were ready to gang up on him.

Indeed, my peaceful life is getting farther and farther away, Ryuto sighed with tears in his heart.
