Ryunosuke, who was suddenly questioned, did not show any excessive reaction. Instead, he fired back with a perverted joke.
"The outside might be the same, but the inside isn't necessarily so. Would you mind telling me what kind of underwear you are wearing under there?"
Fuka very boldly pulled the zipper of her jeans down, but she was in no rush to open them wide. "You want to see? Sure, no problem. After all, sooner or later I'll be yours, so whether you look now or later amounts to the same thing. Sooner or later, you'll strip these jeans off to look anyway."
Ryunosuke was instantly reduced to absolute silence by that answer.
"Thank you very much for being able to trust me that much."
Fuka pulled the zipper of her jeans back up until they were tightly closed. "This isn't a matter of trust, but rather a very important fact. Sooner or later, I will marry you. If you really want to see it, how could I possibly not allow it? Besides, when we enter the bridal chamber later, sooner or later you will see everything completely clear anyway."
Ryunosuke didn't know what else to say to respond to her.
"Fuka-senpai's thinking turns out to be extremely open-minded, huh."
Fuka spread both her hands. "Then what else am I supposed to do? If you already want to taste my body right now, I won't refuse either."
Fuka began to tease. She used her finger to lift Ryunosuke's chin, still with her signature mocking smile that was full of banter.
"There is a love hotel right over there, want to go over there to book a room and try it out?"
In any case, Fuka had thought this matter through very thoroughly.
Sooner or later she would belong to Ryunosuke, and it just so happened that she herself also possessed an attraction toward this kid. Therefore, it was better for her to just follow the flow naturally. Instead of refusing, wouldn't it be much more enjoyable to just appreciate it?
Fuka was exactly that type of person. Her mindset was highly straightforward and never convoluted.
Facing the direct invitation from Fuka to go to a love hotel and engage in intimate things, Ryunosuke didn't immediately agree to it on the spot. It wasn't because he didn't want to, nor because he didn't dare to, but rather purely because he felt the progression was excessively fast.
Right now, the two of them didn't possess a strong emotional foundation yet. At best, their relationship was only at a stage of being more than friends, but had not yet reached the point of becoming lovers. Ryunosuke's standard toward the opposite sex was that at the very least, the other party had to truly love him, not out of compulsion.
Therefore, Ryunosuke rejected the suggestion from Fuka, and then grasped the slender fingers of the girl that had originally been lifting his chin.
"You'd better just forget it, Kiryuuin-senpai."
"Eh?" Fuka was dazed upon hearing it. She didn't even realize that Ryunosuke, who usually called her "Fuka-senpai," had now changed his way of addressing her to "Kiryuuin-senpai," which sounded somewhat unfamiliar and distant. She stared at the kid with a rather strange expression.
"A deceitful man like you, don't you usually like sleeping with women very much?"
Ryunosuke instantly lost his balance and almost fell flat onto the floor. He shot back rather crossly, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Do I look like that kind of person?"
"Are you saying you aren't? You absolute bastard of a junior who has 17 girlfriends." Fuka was almost made to laugh out of sheer exasperation by the behavior of the man in front of her.
Someone who already possessed 17 girlfriends, what else could he possibly say to defend himself?
Fuka herself didn't even realize that deep inside her heart, she was being slightly jealous.
Ryunosuke felt incredibly innocent! "At least I have never forced anyone else! I will only touch them after obtaining their consent!"
No matter how Ryunosuke explained it, Fuka still didn't believe him anyway.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
The two of them strolled around inside the shopping mall, embarking on a very simple, ordinary date just like perfectly normal people in general.
It just so happened that at that moment, the trio of Arisu, Masumi, and Miki were fully engrossed in enjoying coffee at a cafe. Unintentionally, they witnessed the sight of those two people currently on a date.
Masumi instantly slammed the table and stood up, intending to go over there to interrogate Ryunosuke about where on earth the wild woman with him had come from this time.
Arisu, who was drinking her coffee calmly, straight away extended her walking cane using her other hand, restraining the movement of Masumi who was about to go make a commotion. She then explained with a gentle voice:
"That is our 18th colleague. A short while ago, the Prime Minister of Japan came to our school and established an arranged marriage for the two of them."
"As for Kiryuuin-senpai, she is the biological niece of the Prime Minister of Japan, so... you understand the meaning yourself, right?"
Masumi instantly withered at once. Even if she was stupid and impulsive, she still knew exactly how much the weight of an office held by a Prime Minister of Japan was. Her annoyance was instantly choked back until she couldn't utter a word anymore. She then sat back down into her chair, crossing her arms over her chest and folding her legs with a face full of dissatisfaction.
However, even if she was dissatisfied, what else could be done?
Other than accepting the presence of this 18th colleague, didn't they indeed possess no other choice?
Miki also appeared to have a face full of fear and didn't dare to get involved. She only remained quiet to the side while poking her straw, then lowered her head to drink her beverage, even though inside her heart she couldn't conceal a sense of disappointment.
"My love rivals have increased by one more..." Miki murmured in a very quiet voice.
This time, even Arisu had truly run completely out of options, so she was forced to accept the presence of this 18th good sister of hers.
As for who the 17th sister was? Naturally, that person was Ibuki Mio.
A short while ago, Ibuki had just gone to report to the Knights of the Round Table, so everyone already knew of her existence and didn't make a big deal out of it anymore.
In any case, they already had 16 people anyway, so adding one more person felt like it didn't make any difference anymore. Everyone thought along those lines, which was why they could accept the presence of Fuka so quickly this time around.
Arisu, Masumi, and Miki had absolutely no intention of disturbing the course of the date of those two individuals. They only wanted to sit quietly there while drinking their tea, pretending as though nothing whatsoever was happening.
The 18th colleague who arrived this time possessed a background that was excessively massive, so they didn't dare to offend her feelings easily.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
On the other side, this was the very first time for Fuka to go on a date with a man in her entire life.
Actually, there were no specific items she wanted to buy, but upon seeing the school uniform that looked as though it were never replaced on Ryunosuke's body, she then asked full of curiosity:
"Do you not have any other clothes that can be changed into?"
"It's a rare occasion to be able to go on a date with me, yet you instead show up wearing a school uniform."
Ryunosuke looked down, staring at his school uniform whose model already resembled a formal suit. "There's nothing bad about these clothes either. Aside from the trousers, which were a bit ugly and have already been replaced by me, this uniform can actually be used as formal wear."
"The main reason is because I genuinely do not have any other casual clothes to change into."
"Oh?" Fuka appeared as though she had found the purpose of their date this time. She instantly placed her hands on her hips and said with extreme confidence:
"In that case, let me completely overhaul your entire appearance. Let's go to a men's clothing store!"
Fuka straight away grabbed his hand, and Ryunosuke could only follow her there with mixed feelings inside his heart.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at a clothing store. Fuka selected over a dozen pieces of men's clothing for Ryunosuke to try on.
Ryunosuke felt completely resigned. He was forced to accept the pile of clothes in his hands, then walked to the fitting room to change his attire.
Fuka crossed both arms over her chest, continuously watching him who went in and out changing one clothing item after another, but strangely she didn't get around to buying them.
This matter caused the shop assistant to assume that the two of them had only come to cause a mess. However, right at the moment when that assistant was just about to open her mouth to reprimand them, Fuka straight away snapped her fingers.
"Wrap up all of these clothes, I'll take them all."
The shop assistant, who originally intended to reprimand them, instantly slammed the brakes hard. Her face at once transformed to put on a signature professional fake smile, and she then immediately stated the nominal price:
"The total for everything is 980,000 points, thank you for your patronage."
Ryunosuke's brow instantly furrowed tightly. He stepped close to Fuka, then whispered something right near the girl's ear, making Fuka's ear feel a bit ticklish, even though she didn't attempt to avoid it.
"Do you even possess that many points? This school transactions use points, you know, not using yen currency."
