If only,

you could lie down on such a lawn in the afternoon and take a nap under the shade of the trees, how delightful that would be.

Delightful, huh?

Haruka Yuzan didn't know, but when he saw Misaki Saki's wish list, he didn't feel the slightest bit relaxed.

The task reward was very tempting, attribute points addition, he was very eager to get it.

But, what the heck was that wish list all about!

This damn girl!

Today, without any interest in eating or drinking, he started pondering over the demands regarding her body!

Her two little things—if not pasted on, what else could replace them?

Haruka Yuzan sat in his chair, sinking into deep thought as he gazed out the window at the beautiful scenery.

.......

Today, there was no girl in a school swimsuit, nor would anyone just lie directly on the lawn.

That would not be enjoying youth, but a back full of mud.

Lunchtime,

The bright sunshine made the students feel somewhat irked, time slowly passed, and the weather seemed to get even hotter.

And yet, it wasn't quite hot enough to turn on the air conditioning, especially for the restless middle school boys who felt the weather was unbearably stuffy.

Classmates headed out to eat in groups of threes and twos,

and the lively laughter gradually faded away,

Heiwa Kaisu Middle School excused himself, saying he wouldn't join him for lunch today; the other made wry faces as if thinking Haruka was off to find Otome again.

He made a sour comment and left.

The classroom was quiet, with only him and the class president left.

Luscious lips, a visage carved like jade, although her eyes were cool, they conveyed a profound depth.

It certainly couldn't be the former.

"Is there a possibility," he paused, then Haruka Yuzan said with a smile,

"that Chiba—you, are looking even more beautiful today than usual?"

A breeze carrying the scent of tender petals drifted in from the window, making the handsome features of the beautiful boy shine brightly in the sunlight.

A boy with a deceptive charm, but who could make you willing to be deceived—the female classmates all thought so.

If only one could talk to Classmate Haruka every day, how wonderful that would be.

However, sitting opposite him, Chiba Shimizu's gaze remained impassive, completely missing Haruka's advance.

"Boring topic, I want to discuss something else with you," it was hard to imagine that the young lady who always maintained a "perfect image" would have anything to bring to him.

"I'm always ready to solve problems for a beautiful girl," Haruka Yuzan said with a smile.

"Regarding Sister Reiko's birthday, you said you were planning on bringing Reiko's daughter over, do you have a plan?" Chiba Shimizu asked indifferently.

It was unexpected; he hadn't anticipated it to be about someone else's affair.

Was she that concerned?

Haruka Yuzan looked over, the girl's gaze as calm as ever, inscrutable,

"With such things, the more complex the plan, the more likely it is to have flaws that lead to a chain of unnecessary troubles."

"So, what's your plan?"

The young lady seemed particularly concerned about the matter, putting him in a bit of a difficult position.

"It's simple, I've been in contact with Rika these past few days, and when we're familiar enough, we'll just bring her over on her birthday," Haruka Yuzan said nonchalantly, "It takes just over two hours by bullet train from Tokyo to Nagano, and only a half-hour bus ride to Sister Reiko's house. The most important thing is, that day is a day off, so it won't interfere with Rika's school."

The boy detailed his plan—simple yet comprehensive.

In fact, he hadn't finished speaking; these past few days, he planned to establish a good relationship with Reiko Onodera's mother, Mariko Akiyama, and if that went well, half the plan was already successful.

Even, if possible, it wouldn't be a problem to bring the two of them to Tokyo together.
