When I reincarnated in the world of a gal game, I had memories of all the heroines being conquered, and it turned into a chaotic situation...

The teacher was using a laser pointer to explain the PDF which was projected on a scroll-like screen. The classmates were desperately trying to keep up with what he was explaining to us.

Despite it being the first day of class, the content was quite challenging.

Basic subject classes are short, only one hour each. However, this doesn’t mean the content is reduced; it’s shortened to allow for pre-study since the class materials are distributed in PDF format beforehand.

Why is that? Naturally, it’s to make time for the unique classes at the Sakuramiya Academy.

“Today’s class is already intense, but basic subjects are conducted in this way. So, keep up without falling behind. And, starting from this afternoon, you all will be learning the skills of butlers and maids, but before that…”

The teacher operated the PC and projected a schematic table onto the screen.

“This is the team combination table for the assignment starting right after today’s class.”

Facing a table with names lined up, the classmates become restless.

The task starting today involves serving as attendants for noble-class students. Therefore, everyone is curious about which young lady or young master they will be paired with.

“I’ll post it here during lunch break, so check it and head to the designated location next to your team after school. Any questions about this matter will be accepted now.”

The teacher said those words, and a boy in the front raised his hand.

“Teacher, why is there variation in the number of common-class students assigned to one noble-class student, ranging from one to four?”

Indeed, the distribution is uneven, creating a distorted table.

“I’ll answer that. This combination takes into account the individual abilities of the students, ensuring that the disparity in strength does not widen. Even in the first task, the performance affects your grades. The noble-class students’ grades not only reflect their reputation but also impact the stock price when there is a capable successor. Therefore, adjustments are made to avoid creating a power gap among common-class students.”

At the mention of “quality,” some students’ faces visibly darkened. Being assigned to a larger group implies the lack of ability.

Truly, this school has an outrageous setting. What about ethical standards?

“Even if you’re assigned to a larger group, there’s no need to be disheartened. It simply means that your abilities for this particular task are lacking. Different evaluations will come in another task.”

To the relieved students, the teacher adds a cautionary note.

“At present, it’s a fact that there is a lack of strength. Do not spare any effort.”

The teacher then asks if there were any more questions, but this time, no one raised their hand.

“Well then, we’ll conclude everything here.”

As the teacher said this, the bell rang, and the teacher left the classroom.

Now… there’s no need to look at the table; I already understand who I’m paired with.

“Riku, what does it mean that you will be paired with Himeno alone?”

Yui, wrapped in a black aura, approached me and said in a chilly tone.

“Well, it’s just luck, isn’t it?”

“What, fate should just bend at my will!”

A cold finger gently stroked my Adam’s apple.

It was just a touch, but the dark killing intent was suffocating, and I felt like I might start trembling.

“Your face is turning blue, Riku. Sorry, it was scary, huh?”

Yui, holding my head as I slumped back on my chair, comforted me. I felt an indescribable sense of security enveloped in a happy, soft sensation, warm body temperature, and the gentle, sweet scent of flowers. I wanted to cry while venting all the hardships I’ve endured until now.

“It’s already okay. There, there, Riku. You did well.”

I was gently stroked, which strangely made me feel too comfortable, but without much thought, Yui, who scared me in the first place, easily slipped out of my arms.

“What’s this?”

“One of the plans to take down Riku.”

“What kind of thinking is that?”

“To make Riku scared, and when his mind becomes uneasy, to let him experience the pleasure of dependence when he clings to me. Then, by continuing to scare him and spoiling him repeatedly, Riku will eventually learn to enjoy being scared. That way, we’ll both be dependent on each other and happily sink into a swamp together.”

Her thought process is scary but effective. I almost lost myself in her pampering for a while.

“But, you know, it’s embarrassing. Like hugging and stuff, this lover-like thing.”

Yui laughed shyly. However, even though she was laughing. I had a feeling that her embarrassment wasn’t the issue.

“Setting that aside, Riku.”

Ignoring the considerably messed-up situation, I resist the urge to comment and ask, “What?”

When I do, Yui reveals a freezing smile.

“Even if you’re alone with Himeno, no cheating on me, okay?”

“Are you trying to scare me?”

“No, this is serious.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, otherwise, you won’t know what I might do.”

To Yui’s words, I shuddered, realizing that there’s still some rationality left in her.
