Chapter 336: A Huge Advantage, Sister Zhi is So Seductive!

"Hey, is that your girlfriend?"

As Kurogiri Mikiya returned to the logistics students, a boy immediately came over and nudged him with his elbow, asking a somewhat teasing question.

"No, those are Ryougi's friends. They came to cheer Ryougi on, and I happened to know them, so I treated them to a meal."

Kurohime Kanya shook his head and explained.

"Really, no, wasn't it that pretty girl in the red cotton coat who talked to you?"

Some scholars have doubts.

"Don't talk nonsense, she has a serious boyfriend."

Kurogiri Kanya said seriously.

"You still like Yin and Yang?"

The boy looked at him, thought for a moment, and then asked.

"Um."

Heitong Gan did not deny it.

"But I heard that she often has lunch with other boys."

"Where did this rumor come from?"

"That's what some of the girls in the class said."

"That's probably me."

"Wait, you really caught up with that Yin-Yang?"

The scholar's eyes widened immediately.

"No, we just sometimes have lunch together."

Kurogiri Kanya quickly denied it.

"That's quite impressive. That reclusive Liangyi classmate actually agreed to have lunch with you."

Oh, and I also heard that their family is... you know?

"Which one is that?"

"The underworld."

"Oh, I know that."

Kokutou Kanya nodded, but he had only heard Fujimura Taiga mention it; he had not actively investigated Ryougi Shiki's family situation.

"So, from now on, should I call you 'Young Master of the Underworld'?"

"Not at all. We just sometimes get together for lunch, and it's not even just the two of us. I'm just a shameless lunch buddy who shamelessly joins in. There's someone else who actually eats with her."

"Hey, who is it?"

"Broly".

"Who is that? Do we have any students with such strange names at our school?"

"He's not a student at our school, but a boy who has connections with Fujimura-sensei. You know that Ryougi-kun is a bit withdrawn, and that boy was there to have lunch with Ryougi-kun at Fujimura-sensei's suggestion."

Kurogiri Kanya explained.

Of course, some of what he said was modified.

For example, the reason why Broly and Ryougi Shiki ate lunch together was that Broly treated Ryougi Shiki like his wife and often brought her food.

But there is also a part of the truth in it, which is that Fujimura Taiga wanted to change Ryougi Shiki's originally somewhat aloof personality.

The reason for this change is that Mikiya Kokutou doesn't want rumors to spread at school, such as, "Ah, Ryougi Shiki actually likes a cute boy."

There's no doubt that people who don't fit in at school are bound to be ostracized. It's only because Ryougi Shiki always has a private car to pick her up and drop her off, and because some people who know about the girl's family background have spread rumors that she comes from a yakuza family, that others don't dare to go too far.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably either become invisible or become the target of bullying.

"Oh, is that so? What's your situation?"

"I want to pursue Ryougi-san, and I was also asked by Fujimura-sensei to become Ryougi-san's friend. Well, so far, that's all."

"Tch, I thought you'd made some big progress."

Scholars are somewhat boring.

"Could a guy please help me move these things?"

A girl shouted from over there.

"Okay, I'm going over there to help. I'll leave things here to you."

The scholar left in a flash, and Kurogiri Mikiya saw the girl over there and realized she was very pretty, no wonder his friend was like that.

"Progress? Yes, there has been progress..."

Mikiya Kokutou muttered to himself, his gaze drifting towards the lawn, where Ryougi Shiki, still dressed in a kimono, was already talking to Broly and the others.

Fujimura-sensei was also there. Although he was too far away and the noise in the room made it impossible to hear what was being said, one could still see the way Fujimura-sensei was clenching his fists and waving them up and down, as well as the troubled look on the face of the girl in the kimono.

It's probably Fujimura-sensei encouraging Ryougi. Fujimura-sensei is indeed a good teacher, but her enthusiasm always gives Ryougi a headache.

Especially since there was a boy next to her, and Broly was also encouraging her, just like Fujimura-sensei.

And it's probably not just the boy who's doing this; the other girls around him are also encouraging her in the same way. The level of trouble that Ryougi is going through right now is probably multiplied by the number of people cheering her on.

Even when she's troubled, she's still beautiful!

Kurogiri Mikiya thought the same thing and wasn't too nervous. This was what he gained after becoming lunch buddies: he understood Ryougi Shiki and Broly's situation.

Both of them were somewhat lacking in common sense and were eccentric. Broly's eccentricity lay in his lack of common sense and having too many wives.

Ryougi Shiki's unusual behavior is that, even after knowing that the boy has many girls who could be called wives, she still calmly interacts with him and even gets along well with other girls whom the boy calls wives.

Therefore, based on the idea that love is selfish, and excluding the possibility of a hat fetish, Mikiya Kokutou confirmed that Broly and Ryougi Shiki did not develop any romantic feelings for each other.

Even between boys and other girls, no similar feelings developed.

Broly's so-called wife is more like a close female friend.

After all, even Fujimura-sensei is his wife, and he even wanted his younger sister, Senka, to be his wife, but she refused without hesitation.

After confirming this, Kokutou Miki felt relieved. Although his relationship with Ryougi Shiki had not progressed beyond friendship, Broly did not put too much pressure on him, treating him like a familiar younger brother from next door.

Now, Mikiya Kokutou treats Broly completely as a child, rather than a rival or competitor.

Even though Ryougi Shiki would occasionally do something intimate with the boy, such as wiping the rice stuck to his mouth and eating it, in Kokutou Mikiya's eyes, it was nothing more than an older sister taking care of her younger brother.

Mikiya Kokutou felt he had a chance and that he had a great advantage, and that his age difference with Ryougi Shiki was his biggest advantage.

Currently, Broly and Ryougi Shiki's relationship is more like that of friends than lovers, and Kokutou Mikiya is also a friend of Ryougi Shiki.

Currently, Broly is bringing lunch to Ryougi Shiki, but recently, Mikiya Kokutou has also been making bento boxes to share his lunch with the boy and Ryougi Shiki.

Broly is very gentle with Ryougi Shiki. Although he sometimes seems to lack common sense, he also shows his care for the girl in the details.

He could be gentle too, but he lacked an opportunity to show it. And once he had the chance, he could show meticulous care for Ryougi Shiki, and it would be the kind of care that was based on common sense.

For example, he wouldn't simply grab Fujimura-sensei's sanitary napkins and hand them to her when she's menstruating, urging her to use them and offering to rub her stomach with his palm.

Of course, this is an advantage of Broly being a child; even if he does these things and says these things directly, people won't think he's a pervert.

But it was still presumptuous. A normal person would do as he thought: when he first learned that a girl was menstruating, he would buy a hot red bean soup from a vending machine and hand it to her casually.

Afterwards, you should note the time, and whenever the time comes, you should make brown sugar water at home and casually offer it to the other person.

As for things like sanitary napkins, he couldn't be as direct as Broly, but he could buy them, pack them in an opaque bag, and hand them to the girl without explaining anything.

This kind of care, which needs no words, is something he is also capable of doing.

At that time, he would not be presumptuous or impolite, but would only express his concern as much as possible at the edge of the safe distance that Ryougi felt.

While Kurogiri Mikiya was working and thinking about what he should do if he had the chance, the Kansho Academy Spring Sports Meet had already progressed to the class team relay race.

Since it was a sports meet held within the school, there were no requirements regarding what clothes the participating students should wear.

Therefore, some players wore serious tracksuits with white T-shirts and black shorts, while others wore casual clothes, only with headbands representing their group's color.

However, only Ryougi Shiki wore a kimono and geta (wooden clogs) on stage.

"Teacher, is it really appropriate for her to appear in such an outfit?"

"We're not targeting her, but the kimono and wooden clogs she's wearing make it difficult for her to even walk quickly, let alone run."

"Ryougi-kun, why don't you change your clothes and shoes?"

After hearing complaints from other students, the homeroom teacher had no choice but to discuss the matter with Ryougi Shiki.

"No need to change. I didn't bring any other clothes or shoes, and I'm not used to wearing other people's things."

The male personality has been activated, and Ryougi directly refused others' requests for her to change her clothes and shoes.

She looked at the other girls participating in the relay race and said to her homeroom teacher, "They think I can't run like this just because they don't wear kimonos and geta often. But actually, I'm used to wearing these clothes, so I can run like this, and I can even run faster than them."

"Alright, since Ryougi-kun is confident."

The homeroom teacher looked at the other girls.

"You all heard what she said."

"That's not fair. What if our class loses because of her..."

"If we lose, it's on me, provided you don't run too slowly."

Before the homeroom teacher could speak, Liangyi Zhi spoke first.

The homeroom teacher shrugged, not daring to be too harsh on the girl.

It should be noted that the Ryougi family is not only involved in organized crime but is also extremely wealthy; the Kansho Academy received donations from them.

A minor conflict occurred before the relay race began.

However, Ryougi Shiki's class still sent girls in kimonos to the competition in outrageous attire.

The other female participants exchanged glances and, at the invitation of the prettiest girl, huddled together to one side, as if discussing the order of running the relay baton.

As for Ryougi Shiki, Komori simply told her, "Since Ryougi-san is so confident, then you can run the last leg."

"Can."

The girl in the kimono nodded.

"That Ryougi Shiki is awful. She said if we lose, it's her fault. We have to teach her a lesson."

"But how? Should we deliberately run slowly?"

"No, if we lose, she'll have an excuse to say it's our fault. We have to run at a moderate pace. I don't believe she can actually run in a kimono and geta."

"But what if she could actually run?"

"Then, I'll do something mischievous when I hand her the baton, and deliberately let it fall."

"That won't do. If we can't win like this, then it'll be your fault."

"Don't worry, she's never practiced relay races before. When I pass the baton, I'll just pass it normally, maybe a little fast. If she can't catch it, then it's her problem."

The other girls running the relay discussed a plan to embarrass Ryougi Shiki, and the relay race soon began.

"Go, Ryougi!"

Broly's side had already taken out cheering flags and were waving them around like a cheerleader.

This method of cheering originated from Taiga Fujimura. According to her, when she was a child, the Fujimura team cheered her on in this way during sports meets.

"That idiot..."

Wearing a kimono and wooden clogs on the field didn't make Ryougi Ori nervous, but the cheerleading frenzy on Broly's side made her feel a little uneasy, as if she wanted to bury her head in the ground.

Fortunately, this feeling of embarrassment didn't last long, because the relay race had already reached the second leg.

The athletes from her class, leading by fourth place, passed the baton to the third runner.

The girl who took the third baton, upon hearing that she was a track and field athlete, quickly ran towards her. She overtook the second-place runner and arrived at her side.

【Two Elements, you'd better catch this!】

Komori was already annoyed by Ryougi Shiki's aloof status in the class, and now that she had the chance to mess with her, this track and field club girl spared no effort.

Instead of adjusting her own speed, she passed the baton to Ryougi Shiki in a way that was difficult for an ordinary student to catch, using the speed and precision of a professional relay runner.

Unsurprisingly, due to a mismatch in speed and an excessively fast baton handover, the baton slipped from Ryougi's hand and flew away. This forced Ryougi, who was already preparing to accelerate forward, to stop and turn back to retrieve the fallen baton.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the relay runners from other classes overtook each other, and the students from Ryougi Shiki's class in the distance felt that the situation was terrible.

"We're doomed."

"Last place."

"What happened?"

"I'm sorry, I thought you were very capable. I didn't know you couldn't even catch a stick."

Komori apologized, but her tone was somewhat sarcastic, making it unclear whether she was genuinely apologizing or just a kimono-clad girl facing the Yin and Yang.

Ryougi didn't say anything, but picked up the baton from the ground and sprinted off.

The student commentator was initially feeling sorry for Ryougi Shiki's class for this serious baton passing mistake, but the next moment, a sound of surprise replaced the regret.

"Although Ryougi-san is wearing a kimono and geta (wooden clogs) that are not suitable for running, she is currently displaying amazing speed..."

"One, two, three... she's caught up with the gap caused by the baton passing error. Now there's only one runner ahead of her, the ace of the second-year track and field team. Can she catch up?"

"You think you can surpass me? Don't even think about it!"

What was thought to be a casual relay race turned out to be quite an experience. The track and field ace in the lead immediately sped up.

But it didn't work...

"Ryougi caught up, even overtook them, and crossed the finish line a full body length ahead..."

The student commentator was very excited. A match without suspense is unlikely to arouse the audience's emotions, but a situation like this, where an unexpected situation occurs and the player turns the tide and wins by relying on individual strength, can be very exciting.

After the girl in the kimono caught up and overtook the runners ahead, crossing the finish line in first place, she was greeted with enthusiastic cheers and applause.

After stopping, Ryougi was a little out of breath. It was the first time she had been cheered on by a group of strangers.

Humans aren't so bad after all...

Quite abruptly, this strange thought occurred to her.

After the athletes from each class gathered, Ryougi no Ori turned her attention to the track and field girl who had caused trouble in the third leg.

To most people, the mistake this person made when passing the baton was just an accident.

But the track and field coaches watching from the sidelines noticed something was amiss.

Logically speaking, it would be difficult for a runner like Komori Nao, who frequently participates in relay races, to make a mistake in passing the baton.

At that moment, the coach in charge of the track and field department walked over with a serious expression and asked about what had just happened.

"Komori, what's wrong with you? How can you make such a mistake in passing the baton during a school relay race?"

Komori Nai, this track and field enthusiast, was so focused on embarrassing Ryougi Shiki that she forgot she had to participate in the city-level relay race this year.

If a mistake is made, the track and field coach might replace him. He looked pale and didn't know how to defend himself.

"Sorry, I slipped and didn't catch the baton she handed me. Luckily, we didn't lose the race."

Ryougi walked over and said that the track and field coach's expression softened a little, and he turned around and asked the girl in the kimono if she wanted to join the track and field club.

After being explicitly rejected by Ryougi, the coach was somewhat disappointed but didn't press the matter further, clearly aware of the girl's yakuza family background.

She didn't realize I was up to something, and she even spoke up for me. That's really...

Before Komori could even form a sarcastic thought, Ryougi Shiki leaned in and whispered something in her ear.

"I'll let you off this time, but remember there won't be a next time. I won't show mercy to someone who harbors ill will towards me."

She knows, she knows everything...

Komori's eyes widened.

"I've got it. Don't make the same mistake again."

Ryougi shoved the baton back into the track and field girl's hands and turned to leave.

Only one girl remained, having taken the baton, staring blankly at her departing figure.

"Komori, are you alright?"

The other two players came over, intending to comfort their friend.

"Ryougi-kun, she seems kind of cool..."

But unexpectedly, I heard my friend say these words.

However, this is understandable, as the male personality of the character is inherently full of youthful energy.

The act of being wronged but then forgiving the girl who wronged him and giving her a close warning is subtly touching the heartstrings of teenage girls.

Of course, Ryougi was unaware that she was being bewitched, and she was currently troubled by the situation.

"Young Master, you've finally experienced your own youth!"

The housekeeper, who had been taking care of her for many years, was deeply moved and was holding a portable video recorder in his hand.
