The School Saint, who is kind to everyone, leave a bite mark only on me [Dropped]

“The plan is quite simple; you have to give her a present.”

“Oh, a present… But, If it’s something naughty, I’ll kill you.”

“It’s not that. Well, rather than a present, it’s a ring.”

“Ah… Like an engagement ring?”

“I don’t have the money for an engagement or wedding ring, Senpai. As you are still just lovers, so something like a pair of rings should do. I have matching rings with Saraku-senpai too.”

“Come to think of it, Saraku used to wear a ring… I see, that’s another option…”

Having heard meaningful words and having consulted with others can make a difference.

‘Though I don’t think this can be redemption, well, if it can bring her even a little happiness.’

A ring is a special existence for women, and it’s the same for Hatsuyuki.

No, it must serve as a proof of her strong connection with Yoshihisa and surely contribute to her mental stability.

‘…I have no right to put a ring on her, but if my love can reach her, then maybe she will…’

There might be hope, or it might end up as a convenient delusion.

But he sincerely believed that it wouldn’t lead to anything bad.

“Thank you, Kanetsugu. I’m glad I talked to you.”

“Thanks, then should we go buy it now? Or should we invite Saraku-senpai and Ichijoji-senpai for a double date shopping?”

“No, I think a surprise is better for this. So let’s go another day with you and Saraku.”

“Understood, senpai. Well then, I’ll head back now. How about dropping by the game center together? My treat?”

“If you’re treating me, I want to have some burger; I haven’t eaten that in a while since Hatsuyuki wouldn’t allow me anymore.”

“I think Ichijoji-senpai would be pleased if she was alone with you, Senpai…”

The two boys left the club room together amicably.

Meanwhile, let’s go back in time for a moment.

Shortly before Yoshihisa went to meet Kanetsugu, Hatsuyuki and Saraku were in the school church.

There was no one else there; normally, there would be a priest and a sister, but they were absent due to their interaction with another church.

“Hmm, there’s something about an empty church that feels romantic. It gives off such an atmosphere.”

“I’m sorry for interrupting your time with Fujiwara-kun, Saraku-san. There’s something I need to consult with you… well, more like something I want to hear.”

“It’s okay; I’m with Kane-kun every day, so don’t worry. And I bet you want to talk about Yoshii, right? Ask me anything; I’m your new best friend!”

[TL/N : Kane-kun — short form of Kanetsugu]

Although she was forcing a cheerful demeanor, Saraku was trembling inside.

On the way to the club room after school, she was stopped in her tracks.

The one who approached her had a smiling face, but it exuded an aura as sharp as a knife – It was none other than the saint of the school Hatsuyuki.

‘They say beautiful girls are different when they’re angry, and it’s true… Well, I wonder what Yoshii did to make her upset?’

“Since I’m in charge of managing the duplicate key here, I use it secretly when I want to be alone – it’s a secret, okay?”

“Next time, if you won’t disturb me, could you take just one picture? I think the sight of a beautiful girl like you, praying like a saint, would be fantastical and beautiful.”

“Hehe, just one picture, alright?… By the way, this is unrelated to what we were talking about.”

‘Here it comes…’ Saraku braced herself for the upcoming storm.

Though they had only been acquainted for a short time, she considered Hatsuyuki her close friend and believed they had a bond worthy of true friendship.

But precisely because of that, she understood – Ichijoji Hatsuyuki was not the saintly figure everyone said she was.

“The Camera… I want to hear the story of your camera being confiscated by Yoshihisa.”

“More accurately, you want to hear the story of when it was confiscated, right?”

“Yes, I want to know why you, Saraku-san, had your camera confiscated by Yoshihisa-kun.”

“…Ah, that incident, huh.”

She was indeed the kind-hearted person everyone said she was, as Saraku had witnessed herself.

There had been small incidents where Hatsuyuki had helped her.

But being kind-hearted and being dangerous could coexist.

‘Really, it’s like they say – she’s a lot like Yoshii in some ways, isn’t she?’

She will definitely get the information out of her, even if she has to resort to tough measures.

When she saw a dangerous aura surrounding Hatsuyuki, Saraka broke into a cold sweat.

Yoshihisa possesses both kindness and the danger of a broken brake.

“Well… I initially thought that you were just a sweet girl, but you two seem quite compatible together.”

“Hehe~, thanks for those kind words.”

“What would happen if I didn’t talk?”

“Well, I heard that Saraka-san is engaged to Fujiwara-san and they’re planning to get married right after graduation… And you’re trying to prolong things until you graduate while pretending not to know about it.”

“That approach of yours is just like Yoshii.”

“Yes, I remember everything Yoshihisa did with me.”

“I see… the work of love… huh?”

At that moment, Saraku tilted her head cutely.

It was undoubtedly a threat just now, but…

‘She remembers everything Yoshihisa did to her… Is that really okay?’

What on earth did her best friend do to her? She had thought that they were in a passionate relationship.

But, is that really the case?

There might be genuine love, but at the same time, the word “obsession” crossed Saraku’s mind.

“If I escape from this situation, will I end up getting married before graduation?”

“I still don’t know, but… what if I said I could delay it until after university?”

“Too bad, but I won’t fall for those words. I’m looking forward to bargaining with Kane-kun.”

“I see…”

“But I consider you my best friend. I believe we can become close friends who can call each other without hesitation. So… do you think I would hesitate to talk about my best friend’s past relationship?”

She said it with composure, and Hatsuyuki was impressed inwardly.

As the daughter of a wealthy family and their future heir, Hatsuyuki had received appropriate education.

With her beauty and grace, she found it easy to intimidate others and handle negotiations skillfully.

‘Like attracts like, that’s what this means. Yes, it’s the strength of character, just like Yoshihisa’s.’

So, she had to say it no matter what.

“I apologize, Saraku-san. It seems I underestimated you. If it’s okay with you, may I become your best friend?”

“Oh! Of course, you’re very welcome! Ah, this feels so much like youth, doesn’t it? Yes, you and I have just taken the first step into our youth!”

“Hehe, yes, it’s our first step.”

“Alright, Hatsuyuki-san, I’ll tell you about what happened when my camera was confiscated, just as you requested!”

Then Saraku began to speak with a slightly troubled expression.
