The unfinished business Ayanokouji Kiyohira referred to was, of course, Yumemi's bold and stimulating actions in the third round.
Yumemi's smile froze.
Sure enough, she couldn't escape this, could she...?
Yumemi reluctantly walked back: "I'm in a hurry, can I just finish quickly for you?"
"As long as you can be quick, I have no objection."
"Although I haven't done anything similar before, my theoretical knowledge is very strong, just watch!"
Yumemi confidently squatted down in front of Ayanokouji Kiyohira.
...
Half an hour later, Ayanokouji Kiyohira left the casino feeling refreshed.
About five minutes later, Yumemi slowly walked out of the room, cautiously glancing around. Only after confirming no one was there did she carefully step out of the room.
"Haa..."
Yumemi breathed into her palm and brought it to her nose to smell.
There was no other special smell, only the fresh scent of mint.
Yumemi had already rinsed her mouth several times with mouthwash, and she was relieved only after confirming there were no other strange smells in her mouth. However, the sensation of fullness in her mouth earlier still occasionally replayed in her mind...
Forget it, it's already done, now is not the time to think about these things!
Yumemi patted her cheeks, regained her spirits, and prepared to leave the theater to meet her friends at the agreed location.
She had just turned a corner when she saw an unexpected person waiting there. The person was leaning against the wall, and upon seeing Yumemi approach, walked to the center of the corridor, blocking Yumemi's path.
A faint smile played on her lips as she scrutinized Yumemi with a judging gaze.
It was Sachiko Juraku.
Yumemi felt uneasy under her gaze and forced a sheepish smile: "Juraku-sama, are you waiting for me here? May I ask what you need from me...?"
"I'm waiting for someone else, not you. You just happened to pass by." Sachiko Juraku chuckled softly: "By the way, your concert this time was well-done, quite interesting."
Yumemi quickly said: "As long as Juraku-sama likes it, that's all that matters. I'm truly grateful that you came to support me! It added so much splendor to my concert..."
"No need for pleasantries. This concert was a success due to your own efforts, it has nothing to do with me, and I didn't help you at all."
Sachiko Juraku did not accept Yumemi's flattery just like that. She replied indifferently and then saw a girl carrying a folder hurrying from behind Yumemi, so she walked towards her.
Yumemi quickly moved aside to let her pass.
Just as Yumemi brushed past her, suddenly, Sachiko Juraku paused, then came to Yumemi's side, frowning slightly: "Yumemi, you seem to have a smell on you. This smell..."
Yumemi jumped back like a startled rabbit and quickly explained: "Juraku-sama, it's my sweat! I was singing and dancing on stage just now, and I got all sweaty. I was just about to go take a shower!"
In front of Ayanokouji Kiyohira, Yumemi tried her best to prove she smelled good, but in front of Sachiko Juraku, she would rather admit she had a smell.
"Is that so? I don't think that's sweat."
Sachiko Juraku sneered and pressed closer to Yumemi: "Yumemi, when I was waiting here just now, I happened to run into Ayanokouji Kiyohira. Tell me, why was he in the theater's backstage? Did you call him? Did you and Ayanokoji do something in the room?"
Yumemi immediately felt a bad premonition.
She and Ayanokouji Kiyohira came out of the room five minutes apart, but she didn't expect to be seen, and by the worst person, Sachiko Juraku...
"No, we didn't do anything...!" Yumemi quickly shook her head in denial: "I haven't even seen Ayanokouji Kiyohira backstage!"
Yumemi felt her words sounded a bit weak, her tone becoming increasingly submissive, and her proud acting skills were completely useless at this moment.
Just as she felt she was about to give in and confess, Sachiko Juraku, who had seemed so intimidating a moment ago, now took her hand, a gentle and kind smile on her face.
"Yumemi, you don't have to deny it. I'm very happy that you can take this step and find someone you like."
"...Eh?"
Yumemi was stunned, completely unprepared for Sachiko Juraku to say something like that.
"...Juraku-sama, I don't understand what you mean." Yumemi was confused, completely unable to grasp the meaning of Yumemi's words at this moment.
"You like Ayanokoji, right? However, you should know that besides you, he has other competitors. It's not so easy to win his affection."
Sachiko Juraku smiled like a caring older sister and said, "But you don't have to worry, I support you."
Did Sachiko Juraku really think he liked Ayanokoji?
Although their relationship was indeed a bit complicated now, having seen everything there was to see and even having an exclusive maid agreement, Yumemi still didn't believe there were any romantic feelings involved in their relationship.
Sachiko Juraku must have misunderstood.
But Yumemi couldn't explain it well now, nor could she just agree to it, so she could only play dumb.
"Juraku-sama, I really don't understand what you mean…" Yumemi said, backing away, "I have things to do, so if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first…"
"Alright, you can go." Sachiko Juraku smiled "understandingly" and didn't forget to say very kindly, "Yumemi, if you have anything you want to discuss, you can come to me, and I will help you."
Yumemi completely failed to understand why Sachiko Juraku, who was usually so indifferent, would suddenly be interested in this matter, but at that moment, she just wanted to leave and had no mind to pursue it. She just nodded casually and quickly left the scene as if fleeing.
She needed to hurry back to her dorm and shower now!
Even after rinsing her mouth several times, Sachiko Juraku could still smell it… It would be terrible if her teammates smelled it!
Watching Yumemi's fleeing back, Sachiko Juraku didn't chase after her. A smile of anticipation appeared on her lips as she murmured to herself.
"Ayanokouji Kiyohira, I'm really looking forward to the moment you, who are juggling so many relationships, finally crash and burn. That will surely be very interesting…"
Miharu Taki Sakura, Ririka, Yumemi Yumemite, Mary Saotome, Hanatemari Tsuzura, Ikishima Midari… In just two months since enrolling, Ayanokouji Kiyohira had established romantic relationships with so many girls, and this number was still increasing.
Every relationship was a ticking time bomb.
Sachiko Juraku was very much looking forward to seeing the scene where the time bombs all exploded simultaneously. Her anticipation for that moment had already surpassed Mibuomi Aoi's "usurpation" plan.
To make the splendid flames generated by the bomb's explosion even more magnificent, Sachiko Juraku didn't mind installing a few more "time bombs" for Ayanokouji Kiyohira.
