Miyake is a great friend, probably the best one I have had in a long while. But, there is Alisa. If it works out with us, then once we leave this school's campus, we are officially married.

A good friendship lasts longer than the day one of us dies. A marriage only holds its value on how long the wife feels that she should stay by your side.

"Then...I guess I will just leave it be. You can have your date tomorrow. That's it. Don't expect me to be excited, I am still a human, and I would strongly believe that you wouldn't care about what I said either, and get annoyed when I tell you to postpone a meet-up with friends just for the sake of a date."

"Thank you, Kiyotaka. I don't mind if you don't give me any attention tomorrow. After all, I just acted on jealousy, because you never gave me this much attention."

The smile on her face told me that she was everything but happy. I don't think that she will feel excited knowing that I just had to join because I don't want to ruin anything.

And she is great for trying to hide it.

"I will give you the attention that you give me. Don't worry. Besides, it wasn't that important, was it? But Alisa."

"Yes?"

"Uhm, would you have had a problem if I decided to just not show up?"

I don't want to foreshadow anything with that. I just want to know the kind of reaction she would have given me.

"Well everyone would have a problem with that, but my problem would have been the fact that I would know the reason for that. I doubt that you would just let me hang, you would never do that, I know this much."

Then she probably doesn't know me well enough. I wouldn't have a problem doing so. But I still wouldn't ever dare to do it, and that is because of one single explanation.

I don't want to make her sad. The first few weeks in the relationship are the most important ones. The first few weeks will be the opposite of what the last few weeks will be.

Or so the saying went, I don't believe in that, but some people certainly do.

If that were true, our relationship wouldn't even reach close to this stage of trust. I doubt it myself, we will not reach the end of the third year together.

And if we do, I will make sure, that the day when our graduation happens, everything will end. I want to go back to the white room. But there is nothing to go back to.

So there is a new goal. Selling children with abilities close to the white room. I could make millions, maybe even billions in dollars. And that was a side business of the white room.

Failed exemplars of the white room were sold to some parents who were not able to have children.

But I want to do the same with better, more effective, and precise quality.

"You are right, I wouldn't do so. In the end, we will still be together, remember that."

If you remember this Alisa, you will believe in a lie. In something impossible.

"That's great. Kiyotaka? What do you say?"

"Ah right, you look good in those pajamas. You like pandas huh?"

"Absolutely! They are just too adorable! And adorable plus adorable is??"

"Adorable?"

"Close, idiot. It's super adorable! Pandas are just complimenting my appearance too much! White-silver hair with the White Black-Panea pajamas fit way too well!"

"I guess they do."

No, I don't mean that it's due to the pandas, but with these pajamas, she just proved something to me, her waist is insanely thin in comparison to her thighs.

In the language of the idiot trio, it would be 'damn those thighs are thick not gonna lie'. I wouldn't lie, but I do agree with that. They look insanely nice.

And I think they are a bit hard to defend from the stares of the other girls in my class. But I think it is quite the compliment, it just proves my point that I got a fine girl.

A better one than the other guys got. There is a difference between us.

"Look Kiyotaka, we need to buy ya' also some cute ones! Well, you don't suit cute things because of obvious reasons. But you sure do look cute. Let's go buy a pair of cute pajamas for you tomorrow~"

"Не испытывайте судьбу." [Don't push your luck.]

"D-Did you just...?! When did you learn to speak my language? Wait a second...You are not allowed to speak Russian! This is illegal! Let me have my special ability, you already have enough abilities, so let me feel special at least at some point!"

She weakly punched my shoulder before her social battery drained again. It charges and drains again and again. It truly is something special.

"Well, have you ever listened earlier? I mean, I just explained it to you, I was raised in a facility. In a laboratory to develop some type of superhuman. It's nothing special for us to be taught random languages."

"(Why did it need to be Russian?!) Cough Cough Kiyotaka-kun. Do you want to head to sleep immediately or... Watch movies? I am quite bored, to be honest, and the longer I talk with you, the more random facts that are oddly terrifying are revealed to such a cute being like me!"

I don't mind staying awake longer. I mean, it's barely 9 p.m. There is no need to head to sleep already, school is starting in a week or so, and there is enough time for us to have fun for once.

It is painful to watch her being occupied with strategizing and helping out some classmates with their studies, simultaneously keeping up with the latest news about the other classes, and special exams, whilst trying to join the student council.

I guess once she joins the student council, she will have way too much work to spare some time for a date with me. So I should be glad that they starting to live with me. If she didn't, I doubt that she would be able to visit me once a week.

So better enjoy it whilst it lasts.

"Well, you were desperate to find out more about me, so I guess I removed the burden of maintaining too many secrets today."

"...You still have secrets, you bastard! But well, I don't mind it. I love you just like you are. As long as you don't cheat on me, I will surely stay with you. And now, do you want to watch movies or not?"

"I don't mind watching some movies I guess. But first... What food do you want me to order?"

I am hungry and honestly, I cannot wait any longer. We need to order food, which we can eat throughout the movie.

Except it is a strange type of movie...

However, we need a comfortable position to watch the movie in as well. Luckily, the huge TV of mine, that I bought at the start of the year is just in front of my bed, which means we could lie down and watch it.

But there is a danger zone. If we watch a horror movie, the tree that is right in front of my window will be displayed on the white wall due to the moonlight projecting a shade.

And knowing Alya, she cannot stand spicy food and horrifying things. Movies included.

She is a soft person, after all, the overall package would make up a great mother. She is warm, soft, caring, a little weird, overprotective, productive, and most importantly, she is beautiful.

"So, my lovely smart, and cunning idiot. What do you want to watch? Comedy, romance, horror, or action? I mean, the vast choices of the genre could take a while. But before we do that. I need you. Cough Cough I mean, I need you to order me some pizza. And maybe noodles, including some sandwiches and fries."

"Whoah, calm down, hippo."

Suddenly, my room's temperature went downhill, my body started freezing because of the cold. Also, I felt goosebumps on my arms.

"What...did...you...just...call...me?"

"Nothing. Hypnotizing beauty is what I wanted to say. Perhaps you misheard?"

Suddenly my room temperature went up again and the goosebumps on my arms faded, her voice returned to normal and I learned one thing from this.

Never judge a girl by what she eats. If she still looks healthy to some degree, then you should keep your mouth shut if you want your life to proceed after what you've just mentioned.

"Hah~ and I here I have thought you called me hippo or something. I guess that is just my mind playing games on me again..."

Perhaps she hears voices? Who knows? Most mentally ill people don't realize that they are supposed to be in a psychological hospital, mostly because they think that it's normal until a psychologist tells them it's not.

I am honestly surprised how few people get diagnosed with mental illness, even though I could easily tell that every second person in this school is a psychopath who wants to make my life harder than it already is.

As I laid them down on the bed. This energetic girl followed immediately, and she never has heard about personal space or something.

She laid down, but right between my legs and her head was just under my chin. Resting on my chest as she was scrolling through Netflix.

"What do you want to watch?"

"I don't care. Just find a somewhat fine movie. I am not the kind of guy just watching Netflix all the time."

I am rather the guy who just wastes time sleeping, spreading misinformation on the internet, and provoking people to do not-so-legal stuff.

It's funny if you ask me, but I am not alone. Everyone on TikTok and Twitter is like that, so there is no harm if I join the party.

"Kiyotaka, I wanted to ask you something. Why do you have those many books in your closet? And why are there so many books that have a female main character? Are they perhaps Yuki-san's?"

Seems like I was right about moving those bookshelves, she found out about it quickly. The only problem is that they are just so weird to appear in this room.

Alisa probably hadn't expected to discover something like such in my room. After all, Horikita would have already sold me out as a pervert if she knew.

But in reality, all those weird mangas and light novels are from Yuki. My books mostly consist of regular romance, mystery, and some mangas from action-based animes.

"Partially. I don't own all of those. I only possess a minor amount of, and most of my books are on my desk. The ones on the shelf are from Yuki."

"Why would she store them here? I mean, there is no good reason right?"

"Well, actually there is. Yuki gets embarrassed quite fast. And to avoid her friends getting a weird view of Yuki, she wanted me to store her books here for privacy reasons. After all, she has the luck of her friends coming over daily. Also, don't mind if Yuki suddenly appears here at night."

"Sounds realistic. So you two are a more peaceful kind of otaku?"

"Precisely. But it depends on what you think a peaceful kind of otaku is."

"Well, like you two, you don't make it your entire personality and you two aren't creeps. Well, partially. You are sometimes quite scary but that's due to other influences. Besides, I don't have anything against people who identify as Otakus. Just those worthless human beings in our class, like Yamauchi or Ike, are something that isn't necessarily good to possess."

"They aren't that terrible. They will find their use, and guess what? They even survived the island exam."

I said to their defense, but honestly, even if, it is still a great success that they have remained. We gained a huge amount of points during those days.

It will now improve the quality of life in our class, also it will improve the newly created bonds between classmates, and reduce the danger of betrayal.

"Only because Sakayanagi-san, Katsuragi-kun, and Ryueen-kun's teams have dropped in performance significantly. If it weren't for everyone else being caught off guard by a sudden disqualification of 5 teams, Ike neither nor Yamauchi would have survived the exam."

She doesn't know anything about the fight that occurred the day I retired. But Ryueen won't keep his mouth shut any longer.

I already prepared myself for the issue that he would eventually try and sabotage me later on, or reveal what I am capable of, which is crucial for the coming examinations.

However, what is crucial as well...

There is a person whose behavior has been off lately, and she is a danger to the newly created relationships in our class.

"Alya. I am going to expel Kikyou Kushida from this school."

A/N

Good Morning everybody. Been five days already since the last chapter, and guess what?

The next arc started. And well, fuck it.

Instead of a Sports Festival, we are going to do a Cultural Festival!

Well, that is my idea as of now. Still, it will take some time, since there is another priority next to Maria, Manabu, and Nagumo.

It's Kushida and Horikita. Those two's development hasn't started as of now, and do not worry, I will slowly but surely do arcs for each group of students.

And well, I am sorry. Even though this chapter was meant to be a rather adorable one, I decided to speed up the process.

After all, I wanna finally restart my Mako FanFic :3

And for that, I want to have at least one finished story by then.

As you can see, slowly but surely the story will grow even more complicated for the average reader, so I decided to tone down my creativity on examinations.

Instead of giving you a zodiac exam (whose rules and concept I have modified extremely to the point it has almost nothing to do with the cannon zodiac exam), I decided to give you some SoL content.

After all, many people forget how important it is to have unique characters in their stories. But changing them too much isn't great either.

Please upvote to keep my motivation up to finish this book ;3
