"No way..."

  Iino was so disappointed when she saw the result of Ishigami's exam.

  Yes, Ishigami had ehe top 10 rank, or rather, he was at the 7th rank, which surprised everyone.

  Still, everyone had seen how he kept studyie being surrounded by many women, so somehow, while they were surprised by his achievement, no one doubted that he was cheating to get such a result.

  Even if someone doubted him, someone would help him erase the doubt, and many would help and support him, especially the special demography type of students.

  In other words, female students.

  If those male students felt jealous, then they would bee the enemy of the female students, which retty bad and dangerous as they might lose their ce to get a girlfriend.

  His ge was obvious, from that gloomy, isoted, and lowest hierarchy student to the highest, and the most popur, and sought after.

  Unfortunately, he had a lover.

  Still, after he refused the fession of a girl who had a boyfriend, he looked at the boyfriend, who quickly forted the girl and while the girl was forted, she was angry at the boy, but the boy only showed a humble ale smile as if he was bewitched by the girl.

  "......"

  'Thank goodness...'

  Fortunately, Ishigami refused this girl, and at the same time, he wondered whether this was how Shirogane would appear to be if Shirogane tio chase after Kaguya.

  He showed a humble ale expression, sacrifig himself so that even if Kaguya felt a different feeling, as long as Shirogane could be with her, no matter how ugly it was, he would accept her.

  Somehow, Ishigami didn't want that, he thought.

  After all, if Shirogane was like that, then what was the differeween Shirogane and a cubsp;

  Shirogane might have a certain inferiority plex within his heart, but even so, he tried hard to ge it and even showed a result, so Ishigami believed in Shirogane, especially when Shirogane was the protagonist.

  "What are you thinking, Yuu?" Maki asked curiously.

  "Nothing."

  "e on~! Don't be like that. If you need someoo talk to, you talk with me."

  Watg Maki, who patted her chest as if trying to show how reliable she was, Ishigami couldn't really believe in her, especially when his first impression of her was so unreliable and pathetibsp;

  First impression.

  When one's first impression is imprinted on others' minds, it is hard for them tet about it, no matter how hard they try to ge it, so even if Maki tried to help him, Ishigami couldn't help but feel helpless, and didn't have fidehat she could help him.

  'Well, she's cute,' he thought.

  Still, at this moment, they stayed on the er of the park, hiding behind the bushes, as they had their moment together, hidden in the pce where they met for the first time.

  "It's nothing. I just wonder how those two are."

  Patting Maki's head softly, Ishigami tried to evade the question and ge the topibsp;

  "Those two?"

  "You know? The girl and the guy who caused me to be like this in the past."

  Ishigami had fotten their names, but even so, he wondered how they were now.

  "Oh, you mean Ko Ogino and Kyoko Otomo?"

  "Yes, those two."

  "The guy aside, if I am n, Kyoko seems to be moving to Asahikawa."

  'The guy aside...'

  Ishigami didn't doubt that it was easy for Maki and Kaguya to erase Ko Ogino, or rather, probably, this guy had passed away.

  He wasn't sure, thought, but all of his women had a power that was capable of destroying Ko Ogino's social status.

  This was why he knew well that he couldn't py with their feelings, or else he would be destroyed.

  Then again, he wasn't surprised when he heard Kyoko had moved to Asahikawa.

  "Are you not curious how I knew?"

  "It's in the past. I have you now, so they don't matter."

  Maki smiled and said, "Now, I uand why you have so many girls."

  "...." Ishigami.

  "Well, if you are worried about Kyoko, then you don't have to worry since she is living in a pce where no one knows her past, and she start a new beginning in that city." Maki id on Ishigami's p shyly, happily, aedly, then said, "But well, it might be impossible for her to return to Tokyo."

  As Kyoko's reputation became stinky, it was better for her to live in a pce where no one knew.

  Asahikawa was located in Hokkaido, a different isnd from the mainnd in Japan, so Kyoko's life should be peaceful.

  As fino, it was better not to mention him.

  "That might be good."

  "Right?"

  Looking at Maki, who wao be spoiled, Ishigami smiled, thinking that this girl was uselessly cute, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think of the reward he gained from her.

  [gratutions, you have received an "Error."]

  If Kaguya gave him an "Eyes of Wealth," Maki gave him an "Error," an ability that allowed him to dodge a mistake decision and made his followers or subordinates work in the right dire so he could reabsp;success and his pany grew.

  It was a great reward, he thought sihis ability worked automatically, and frankly, he could only say that it was the lower version of the "Eyes of Wealth," but sidering the retionship between Maki's family and Kaguya's family, somehow, he uood why he got this reward.

  "Yuu..."

  "Hmm?"

  "Are you going to Karen's home after this?"

  "That's what I pn to do."

  Karen didn't e to the school today because she was sick, so Ishigami thought to visit her.

  "...sometimes, I wonder whether you date all of them to build your own power in this try."

  "Stop that. You make me sound like an evil vilin."

  Yes, all of the parents of his women were powerful, and as long as he was with them, he could create a powerful coalition within the try that could affect its dire.

  While Ishigami khat, he didn't date them with su evil iion.

  "No, you are a vilin! You have deceived my i and pure heart!"

  "..."

  Watg Maki, who acted like a silly girl, Ishigami was helpless, and then she kissed her forehead softly. "Yeah, but I am gd since I have such a cute girl like you by my side now."

  "...do you want to do it now?"

  "....."

  As the heat on her body started to grow unbearable, Maki wao take their retionship to the level, but while Ishigami didn't mind, he notiagisa, who stared at him from a distanbsp;

  "...your friend is there."

  "Huh?"

  Raising her body as soon as possible, Maki turned her gaze to follow Ishigami's dire and was dumbfounded. "Huh, Nagisa?!"

  As Maki grew in panic, Ishigami wao leave since he was afraid something might happeweewo, but then again, as the school ended, he went to Karen's home, ready to visit her.

  Still, as he was on his way, he met someohat he was familiar with.

  "...Ishigami?"

  Turning his head, Ishigami tilted his head and called the name of the senior he met actally.

  "Erika-senpai?"
