At noon yesterday, that villain Mu Xiaoxiao had unscrupulously messed around with her. Then again after school. Though she'd defended her final底线, not letting him break through the last step—
He'd carefully touched and played with every place—those that should be touched and those that shouldn't. Her body had been completely exposed before him. All mysteries revealed.
Even after one night, Himemiya Makoto still couldn't recover.
'What will that hateful guy do to me today...' Himemiya Makoto thought anxiously.
But everything she did was for Chisato. Thinking this, courage sprouted within her. As long as Chi-chan was safe, that was enough.
'Anyway... my body is still pure.'
Last night, she'd chatted with Chisato on LINE again. After confirming she was fine, Himemiya Makoto felt relieved. Since she was okay, she'd be able to see her tomorrow.
When Makoto arrived at school early morning, she saw her good friend Chisato. Seeing her safe, without any sad or pained expression, she was very relieved.
But she hadn't expected Chisato to be pulled aside by Kisaragi Anna. It looked like a confrontation. The atmosphere wasn't good.
"What are you doing?!"
She didn't know what those two had going on. After all, neither of them had any connection with Kisaragi Anna. But even if the class's famous gyaru wasn't easy to mess with, Himemiya Makoto wasn't afraid of her.
"Chi-chan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Makoto." Chisato smiled, seeing her good friend come to help. She shook her head reassuringly.
"Good. I don't know what you're doing here, but... if you're being bullied, I've got your back."
Tch.
Kisaragi Anna flicked her ponytail, arms folded across her chest. Even meeting Himemiya Makoto's stare, she radiated fierce aura while facing the two. 'Bad girl' was practically written on her face.
"I'm not bullying her. Just talking."
"What are you talking about? Mind if I join?" Himemiya Makoto met her gaze. Sparks flew between them.
"Of course." Kisaragi Anna suddenly smiled. "I've been spending a lot lately. Kinda short on cash. Wonder if you could help, Himemiya Makoto?"
"Huh?!"
Hearing this, Himemiya Makoto was stunned. "Borrowing money? Are you extorting us?"
"Extortion? You wanted to join the conversation." Kisaragi Anna tilted her head. "If you don't mind, what's wrong with helping me in an emergency? Or how about Chisato? She looks like a good girl. Must be generous, right?"
"You—you really are bullying Chi-chan!"
Confrontation.
Chisato stood behind, a little confused. They hadn't been talking about borrowing money at all—but about Mu-kun. But she was too embarrassed to confess about fighting over a man.
"Um..."
"What? Chisato doesn't want to lend me money? I'm not asking much. A hundred thousand yen is fine."
Kisaragi Anna snorted softly.
"A hundred thousand?! Why don't you just rob a bank?" 'They're just students. How could they have that much? Chi-chan! Don't agree! She's blackmailing you!'
'Sure enough, this kind of girl is bad news.'

"What's all the arguing about so early?"
Just as the two sides reached a stalemate, Mu Xiaoxiao arrived late. He hadn't come here deliberately—he'd worn Chisato out last night and woken up late this morning.
He just happened to stumble upon their confrontation.
"Mu-kun?"
"Xiao."
Chisato and Kisaragi Anna turned their heads simultaneously. Himemiya Makoto found it strange—why did Chisato look at him like that? Probably her imagination.
While thinking, Himemiya Makoto stole a few glances at Mu Xiaoxiao, then quickly looked away. Obviously, yesterday's incident made facing him still very awkward.
"Heard it all?" Kisaragi Anna's expression was also subtle. She hadn't expected him to show up.
"Heard part of it. Something about blackmail?" Mu Xiaoxiao blinked, schoolbag slung over his shoulder, looking at these three women—Kisaragi Anna, Chisato, and Himemiya Makoto—all gathered together.
"Anna-chan. I know you're a bad girl, but this? Blackmail?"
Seeing the hint of contempt in Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes, Kisaragi Anna lost her calm, fierce demeanor. She blushed and stomped her foot angrily. "Mu Xiaoxiao! You're taking her side?!"
"No. I just think this is... too low-class."
'Too low-class?'
The white-haired gyaru glared at him in embarrassment—angry, wronged. 'This idiot!'
"Who do you think I'm doing this for?! Sure, I've done stuff like this before, but this time's different! If you weren't broke, would I be going around 'borrowing' money from others?!"
'Ah... this...'
'Is that so?'
"I see. Anna-chan, looks like I misunderstood you." Mu Xiaoxiao paused a few seconds, then stepped forward and ruffled her hair. The latter snorted arrogantly, turning her head away—but her face was flushed.
"Well... Mu-kun, I didn't know either." Chisato suddenly remembered—Mu-kun was short on money. A guilty expression crossed her face. "If you need it, Mu-kun, I can give you some."
"Chi-chan?"
Himemiya Makoto was dumbfounded. 'Their relationship is pretty good. They're close at school. But why are you jumping in?'
"What do you mean?" Not just Makoto—Kisaragi Anna grew even angrier, like a cat with fur puffed up, teeth bared. "You weren't willing just now, but now that it's about Xiaoxiao, you suddenly are?"
"Well... if it were you, of course I wouldn't want to. But Mu-kun... I just want to help him!"
"You—"
Seeing them about to argue again, Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed his eyebrows.
He finally understood. Borrowing money, extortion, campus bullying—none of that was the point. The point was him. These two girls were fighting over jealousy here.
'Shura field?'
'Seriously? Even hentai heroines have Shura fields?'
Of course, this kind of Shura field posed no threat to him. Unlike those herbivorous manga protagonists who'd awkwardly step in to gently persuade—too embarrassing.
As a great demon king with special abilities, he could settle this Shura field with pure arrogance.
"Alright, you two. If you want to quarrel, do it after school. Assuming you still have the energy..."
With that, the young man grinned strangely and walked away.
Kisaragi Anna and Chisato stopped arguing simultaneously. They looked at each other, seemingly understanding his meaning. Their faces flushed with shock.
'He doesn't really plan to...'
As for Himemiya Makoto, she was still dazed, not understanding Mu Xiaoxiao's words.
"Chi-chan, what was he talking about?"
"Nothing. Let's go back to the classroom..."
She couldn't explain this kind of thing to her friend, right?
