Back in school

(A/N 100 chapter!!!! Woohoo!!! We're celebrating so give up your power stones! I'll be swimming in them tonight like Scrooge McDuck in money!)

(Risa's pov)

*Sigh*

What's happening with me? I try to avoid Ryoto since he grabbed my boob.

It isn't like me.

Am I conscious of him? But why? I grab others by their breasts all the time, but the one time someone does it to me, I'm uncomfortable.

No, I'm not uncomfortable. Thus feeling is something else, but I can't put the finger on it... or am I just avoiding the answer on purpose.

Even though I was deep in my thoughts, the door to the classroom opened loudly, and it was our class favorite/only couple.

Ryoto and Lala entered, and the first thing Ryoto did was walk up to me with a serious expression. It looked like he was about to confess, which made my heart skip a beat.

Ryoto: "Risa."

Risa: "...Yes?"

Ryoto: "Grab my crotch."

...

HUH!!!?

(A/N Small author's note here. It's about Risa's character, so if you're not interested, you can skip it.

Some of you may say that Risa's not in character to behave that way, so I'm here to explain why I decided to go that way.

Risa is an easy-going girl who never takes anything seriously, so what will happen when she starts liking someone? She'll try to behave like usual, not wanting to destroy her current friendship. Not to mention that her crush is her friend's boyfriend. Remember, it's before the harem is open, as far as she knows.

Not wanting to be exposed, she would start avoiding Ryoto when alone. With other people around, it's easier to not focus on him.

She also doesn't have the best relationship with her parents. It's mentioned that she feels lonely at night because of her parents' absence.

If that's how it is with her parents, rarely home, it's not strange that she would be afraid of a more serious relationship with someone else because, let's be honest, Risa wouldn't be against harem and would possibly be the one who gives the idea to Lala.

Thanks for reading my little rant. Now back to the chapter!)

(Ryoto's pov)

We were running to school, so I had some time to remember some things that u probably should. I haven't seen them in a year after all.

If I remember correctly, I don't need to go to the studio today, which is good. I'll do groceries after school and start making dinner as soon I'll come back home.

Day after tomorrow, I'll go to Mikado if she has time. I should ask her today, but I doubt she'll refuse to take a look at my blood.

I recall Risa being kinda distant as of late, and I was trying to figure out what was the cause. I think it all began after my first night with Lala, and in my sleep-deprived state, I grabbed her breast after she invited me to do so.

Could it be that?

If yes, then I know exactly how to fix our relationship.

As soon as I entered the classroom, I walked up to Risa.

Ryoto: "Risa."

Risa: "...Yes ?"

Ryoto: "Grab my crotch."

Karen: "I know that I said that you remind me of myself and all, but I take it all back. What the fuck are you on to say something like this?"

'Don't you see it, Karen? It's the law of equivalent exchange. I grabbed her, so I should let her grab my private part. Simple, isn't it?'

Karen: "...You hit your head or something?"

'To be completely honest, I'm curious if she would do it or not, but it may indeed repair the awkward air between us.'

Rito: "W-w-what are saying Nii-san!!?"

Haruna blushed and covered her face but left some space between her fingers so she could still see.

On the tree, I saw a little spy fall outside the classroom, probably caused by the shock. I'm not going to admit that I forgot Rin was following me in school, but in my defense, I was being spied on by professionals for months before, so it felt natural to me. Now that I take a closer look, there are multiple small microphones hidden around the classroom.

I was waiting for Risa to say anything, really, but she just started laughing.

Risa: "Pft- Hahahahaha. You really are unpredictable! I completely forgot why I took an interest in you."

The latter part was said in such a low voice that even I couldn't hear it.

She then wiped the tear that gathered near her eye.

Risa: "But if you really insist..."

She did a big swing indicating that she used a lot of power, so I instinctively activated Haki around my crotch area, but to my surprise, she just put her hand there and gave it a gentle squeeze.

Risa: "Now we're even."

Before Risa could take away her hand, Yui entered the classroom. I could, however, hear Ren muttering something. He even started writing something down.

Ren: "Is this how you build relationships with women. I'll need to test it out."

I won't correct him. Pain will be his teacher.

Yui: "Excuse me, the teacher asked me to-"

Her eyes widened, and she became frustrated immediately, but that didn't stop her from reprimanding Risa and me about our behavior.

Yui: "Ryoto Yuuki!!! H-how could you display such shameless activities not only during the daytime but also at school!!! Do you have anything to say in your defense?"

Risa wanted to say something, but I stopped her.

I knew exactly what to do.

I grabbed my left wrist with my right hand, and I turned slightly to show my side. I flexed my muscles, bursting my upper uniform.

God, I love doing it, but I need to get access to unlimited clothes. Otherwise, I'll spend a fortune by literally flexing my muscles.

My actions caused Yui to become even redder, and she ran out of the classroom, shouting that she would get the teacher.

I then turned to Lala, who had already ready Peke Badge Express with school uniform data downloaded in it. Unlike Peke, the badge could contain information about one pair of clothing. Fortunately, it was enough for me.

Risa: "Since when could you do it?"

I shrugged my shoulders, not really answering her question.

Risa: "Because with power like that, I can recommend you only one career option, and it includes dancing and a pole."

Ryoto: "To your information, I already have a job, and it doesn't include dancing. The last time I danced, Kotegawa was annoyed at me but to be completely honest, she is annoyed at me most of the time, so take it as you like."

Risa seemed surprised.

Risa: "You have a job?"

Ryoto: "Yeah, I'm making a manga together with Zastin."

A bell rang, indicating the beginning of the class, and Yui stormed inside like an angry little chihuahua and locked her eyes with mine, but her smile vanished as she saw me wearing the uniform.

Yui: "W-what!? How!?"

???: "So what did you want to show me, Kotegawa-san?"

The teacher she brought was young and had long wavy, light blue hair tied in a ponytail. She was certainly attractive and possessed eye-catching beauty, but the most noticeable feature was her star-filled eyes.

Seeing her, my eye twitched.

What is she doing here?

Noticing me, the teacher waved at me happily with a big smile on her face.

Sophia: "Hey Ryoto! I became a teacher at your school!"

Karen: "*Breath in* *Breath out* You are in a happy place, Karen. You are surrounded by the corpses of your enemies, and there isn't anyone similar to the devil incarnate in front of you."

Karen denies reality. The situation is not ideal.

Karen: "Hey Ryoto, how about we wake up your inner pyromaniac and set this school on fire. Preferably with everyone still inside. We can be a bit extra and drop a few gallons of your blood, too, just to be sure."

'We both know that even if I did that, it would not give you satisfactory results. Sophia is stronger than me by a big margin.'

Karen: "We don't know that if you don't try. Come on!!! Please! I'll give you pornhub premium for free for a year."

'...As tempting as that offer is, I must decline. There are few people that I care about inside this school, so I can't do that. I'll give her a lollipop if that will improve your mood.'

Karen: "...It would."

Now into Sophia.

Ryoto: "How did you become a teacher here?"

Sophia: "I asked the principal, and he said okay."

...

I don't know what I was even expecting...

Yui still had a mental breakdown about how I had clothes on me, Risa's mood improved just as planned, Haruna was sneak peeking at both me and Rito, and Rito decided to stop thinking about anything for a while or just tried not to be involved, Lala was happy to see Sophia again, and Sophia tried to get everyone to call her Sophia-neesan.

It's good to be back.
