Chapter 53
Yukinoshita and Kaguya Are Curious, Fujiwara Chika Is Envious!

Afternoon.

霞之丘 Shi Yu was still thinking about the lunchbox.

Suddenly, a memory surfaced in her mind.

“The lunchbox is… from Rei Qing?!”

霞之丘 was immediately annoyed.

How could she have forgotten about this?

Not only did she eat it all up without thinking, but she also took his lunchbox.

“I’ll have to wash it and return it to him, and I need to apologize.”

Rei Qing didn't really care about it.

After all, compared to the lunchbox, Mai Shi was even more delicious.

Unfortunately, the rooftop wasn't a friendly place for the first time.

Mai was limited in every way.

After they finished, she ran away.

She said she preferred to be at home.

Rei Qing also knew that too much excitement wasn't suitable.

So he let her go home after she cleaned up for him.

The afternoon was boring for him.

It would be more comfortable to go home and hug Mai.

Mai Shi was the eternal god.

But for everyone else in school, it was a big deal.

The midterm exam results were posted.

Kato Megumi came back from outside the classroom.

She walked all the way to Rei Qing's desk.

She tilted her head and asked, “Rei Qing-kun, you didn’t seem to look at the results.”

Rei Qing yawned, “No need, I’m first place.”

“So Rei Qing-kun already knew.”

Kato Megumi wasn’t surprised.

She suddenly changed the topic, “Today, I saw Mai-san come to school.”

“Huh?”

Rei Qing looked at her.

“She brought me lunch.”

“Oh, oh.”

Kato Megumi seemed curious, “It seems like Mai-san and Rei Qing-kun are close. Are you a couple now?”

She thought Rei Qing would think about it before answering.

But he directly admitted it.

“Yes, we just confirmed our relationship two days ago.”

“……”

This answer made Kato Megumi silent.

It also made her eyes a little dimmer.

But she couldn’t help but ask, “So, have you guys…?”

Rei Qing pointed upwards.

“We just did it on the rooftop today.”

“……”

Even though Kato Megumi was prepared, she was still confused by this blunt answer.

Especially… the rooftop…

Have they already progressed to such a bold stage?

Kato Megumi pursed her lips.

“Well, congratulations on being together. It's almost time for class. I'll go back to my seat.”

She turned around.

Rei Qing stared at her back thoughtfully.

……

“He really is first…”

Yukino saw Rei Qing's name at the top of the results list.

Both surprised and silent.

He really wasn't bragging.

It seemed like she misunderstood him.

Whether it was his keen senses or his grades.

Every word Rei Qing said was proven true.

She knew that the truth is a sharp knife that hurts people, and honesty is the same.

She has been hurt countless times sticking to her principles.

For the first time, Yukino met someone who could make things work out with the truth.

For example, Yuihama Yui.

After her observation, Yuihama Yui didn't get any negative impact.

Instead, she excitedly said she would make cookies that would surprise Rei Qing.

Full of energy.

“Rei Qing, what kind of person are you?”

Yukino couldn't help but be more curious about him.

……

Besides Yukino.

There was also someone who developed a… competitive spirit towards Rei Qing.

“Full marks in all subjects? How is that possible?”

In the student council.

Tsukiyomi Kaguya was quite shocked.

Someone actually surpassed her with a perfect score.

You know, ever since she entered high school, her grades have always been first, never changing.

This time, she was actually second!

“Kaguya-chan, I just checked this Rei Qing-kun’s previous grades. He didn’t even rank in the top 100!”

Next to her, a girl with pink hair and a bow, Fujiwara Chika, exclaimed in surprise.

Fujiwara Chika leaned in and whispered, “Kaguya-chan, do you think he cheated?”

Tsukiyomi Kaguya gave a cold look at the roundness pressing against her arm.

This exaggerated figure… the cancer of the earth!

She glanced at her own… very disappointing.

But she still said coldly, “No.”

“The teachers aren’t fools. They must have verified it before announcing the results.”

“Wow! Then, doesn’t this mean he’s a sudden genius?”

“I’m so envious~”

Fujiwara Chika was extremely envious.

If she could suddenly become smarter, she would have more allowance.

That way, she could buy all kinds of delicious food and board games.

Super envious, wow!

“……”

Tsukiyomi Kaguya stared at the results list, not knowing what she was thinking.

……
