It was six o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun was still high in the sky.
Kitahara Makoto, accompanied by Hana, left his house to meet Togawa Sakiko at Tsukinomori Academy.
Tonight, evil was to be judged, and as the person involved, Ghost-senpai naturally shouldn't be absent.
Upon arriving at the music classroom, Kitahara Makoto was surprised to see two girls sitting inside.
One was Togawa Sakiko, and the other was a gentle girl with brown hair reaching her waist, looking like a Yamato Nadeshiko.
"Why is Soyo here?"
Nagasaki Soyo's gentle smile on her pretty face froze instantly.
She intertwined her fingers, propped up her chin, and said nonchalantly, "I came to see if I could help… If I'm bothering Kitahara-kun, should I leave?"
"No, you've come at just the right time."
Kitahara Makoto stepped into the music classroom: "It's been a week since I last saw Soyo-san, and if Soyo is willing to help, she's certainly super welcome."
To build a harem, the first point is to be sufficiently shameless.
People with too strong a moral compass would first fail their own internal test.
"I'm sorry, I only came for Sakiko, Kitahara-kun, please don't overestimate your position."
Nagasaki Soyo, while distancing herself, secretly glanced at Togawa Sakiko.
Seeing Togawa Sakiko's indifferent expression, with no sign of anger or jealousy, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Soyo is very clever; she might be able to help us strategize tonight."
Togawa Sakiko raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, saying nonchalantly, "I've already told Soyo about tonight's operation."
Kitahara Makoto glanced at Togawa, who was pretending to be nonchalant but clearly had a blush on her pretty face, and quickly understood.
This was a lie.
As for why Togawa would lie… she was clearly scared.
According to the plan, the two were to stay in the RV all night.
In a confined space, with just a man and a woman alone, Togawa Sakiko was clearly afraid, worried that Kitahara Makoto would dirty her hands and feet again.
Calling Soyo to help strategize was false; the truth was that she came to act as a check!
Kitahara Makoto didn't expose her.
After Sakiko went to play the piano, he directly sat next to Soyo: "Soyo, your school is on summer vacation too, right?"
"That's right."
"How were your final exams?"
"The deviation value for all subjects was over sixty."
"Impressive."
"How did Tomori's exams go? Kitahara-kun only tutored her for one night; did it have an effect?"
"Not only did she pass, but her deviation value was also over sixty."
"…"
Deviation value, this thing, is a characteristic of Japan, mainly used to determine an individual's position in a group.
Simply put, the higher the deviation value, the higher one's ranking in the group.
Togawa transferred schools to get a scholarship, so her academic performance naturally goes without saying.
Anon was the Student Union president in middle school, and her grades were also very good.
Nijika, Kita, and Soyo, the three girls, had above-average grades in their classes; only Bocchi-chan, Tomori, and Yamada Ryo were academic failures.
Fortunately, with Kitahara Makoto's help in tutoring, the three academically struggling girls successfully passed their final exams and didn't need summer make-up exams.
A moment later.
Amidst the beautiful melody of the piano, Ghost-senpai appeared out of thin air.
Kitahara Makoto looked at Hana: "Hana, can you pull Senpai into a dream?"
Hana looked up: "I can."
"Then there's no problem."
"…"
With Ghost-senpai possessing Sakiko, the three left the school together.
It was still early, so the three first had dinner and then shopped at the supermarket for a long time, buying many snacks and drinks.
By the time they left the supermarket, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
Togawa Sakiko took out her phone and made a call.
Soon after, an RV quietly drove over.
The driver was an old man in a suit, who looked like he had decades of driving experience.
After confirming their identities, the three quickly entered the RV.
"There's actually so much stuff inside; it really feels like you could live in it as a house," Nagasaki Soyo said, surprised.
"The space Exploit is quite exaggerated."
Kitahara Makoto nodded in agreement.
The RV wasn't very large, only a dozen square meters, but it was small yet complete, with all living facilities: a bathroom, a bed, air conditioning, a refrigerator, storage cabinets, a TV, a game console, and even an integrated stove for cooking… Oh no, not only could people live in it, but they could live there long-term.
Togawa Sakiko said softly, "When I was little, I imagined traveling the world in an RV."
"Traveling the world is impossible; for example, India is definitely out," Kitahara Makoto complained while taking out his phone, "But I'll add it to Togawa-chan's wish list.
Once we're adults and can get driver's licenses, we'll buy an RV and go on a road trip."
"Eh?"
Togawa Sakiko pursed her beautiful lips, "Wish list… what's that?"
"It's a list of things Togawa-chan said she wanted to accomplish," Kitahara Makoto raised his phone.
"For example, Togawa said the day before yesterday that she wanted to go to a Joe Hisaishi concert… I've already successfully bought tickets in advance."
Togawa Sakiko's eyes flickered slightly: "I just mentioned it casually the day before yesterday…"
"So, does Togawa want to go?"
Kitahara Makoto raised an eyebrow and looked at her, "If not, should I cancel the tickets I booked?"
Togawa Sakiko turned her pretty face away: "I want to go."
"…"
To build a harem, in addition to sufficient money and ability, emotional value is equally indispensable.
Kitahara Makoto's wish list notebook was used to record the girls' various preferences, wishes, and important dates.
Don't think that being a scumbag is so easy; if you could just trick girls so easily, why are so many people still single from birth?
To reveal a heartbreaking truth, while scumbags are despised, their intelligence and emotional intelligence are both very high!
"Kitahara-kun is truly 'attentive,'" Nagasaki Soyo said, hugging her arms, her tone slightly sour.
Jealousy is one of the inherent traits of girls, and the cunning young lady was naturally no exception.
Kitahara Makoto's gaze shifted to Nagasaki Soyo: "It's not just Togawa; Soyo's wishes are also on my phone."
"Impossible," Nagasaki Soyo pursed her pink lips at this, "I definitely haven't said anything like a wish."
Nagasaki Soyo was actually more laid-back; although she often went shopping with friends, it was mostly passive invitations, and she rarely actively invited others.
When she had nothing to do, she preferred to stay at home alone and didn't have a strong interest in eating, drinking, or playing.
If there was a wish, it would probably be hoping that the Kessoku Band could be revived and everyone could happily gather together again.
But unfortunately, although she had reconciled with Sakiko, Togawa Sakiko had clearly stated that there was no need to reassemble a disbanded Kessoku Band.
After all, past events were like a nail; even if the nail was pulled out, a hole would still remain.
"Soyo certainly hasn't said it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist," Kitahara Makoto lightly raised an eyebrow, "I'll say one wish, and Soyo definitely wants it super badly."
"I'm sorry, that kind of thing doesn't exist," Nagasaki Soyo said, hugging her arms, completely unconvinced.
"Is that so?"
Kitahara Makoto said unhurriedly: "A life-sized body pillow of Togawa, reproduced one-to-one, does Soyo really not want it?"
Nagasaki Soyo: "…"
That's unfair!
That's too unfair!
There's actually a life-sized body pillow of Sakiko; no one could possibly refuse that!
"Well, Soyo, do you want it or not?"
Kitahara Makoto asked with a smile.
"I…"
Nagasaki Soyo parted her pink lips, her pretty face slightly flushed, unable to utter a refusal.
"You two are enough."
Togawa Sakiko couldn't listen anymore and couldn't help but glare over, "Kitahara-kun, don't make strange things!"
"…"
Chatting all the way, the RV unknowingly arrived in front of a detached house, and then quietly stopped.
"We've arrived."
Kitahara Makoto extended a finger, gently pushed aside the curtain, and looked at the house outside; it was the demon-like sensei's residence, and warm lights were still on in the windows.
Turning off the engine and extinguishing the lights, the old driver said goodbye to the three through the front intercom before getting out of the car and leaving.
In the quiet night, soon only an RV remained, along with the three people inside.
"Ten meters isn't too long, and it's not too short," Nagasaki Soyo pursed her pink lips and whispered, "We're right next to this side.
If that demon-like sensei's bed is on the other side, will the distance be insufficient?"
"Don't worry," Togawa Sakiko said softly, "Mr. Fukada's hired private detective has already investigated thoroughly.
The demon-like sensei's master bedroom is on the second floor, and the bed is on the side closest to us."
"According to the information provided by the private detective, the other party usually turns off the lights at 10:30 PM."
"Today, a total of three private detectives are cooperating with us, monitoring the demon-like sensei's every move around the clock.
The other party returned home at two o'clock this afternoon and hasn't left since."
"Not only that."
"Mr. Fukada also had the other party's wife buy an expensive handbag at a low price, and a miniature electronic bug was installed in the seam of the bag, but we haven't heard any useful information… Kitahara-kun, should we turn on the bug?"
"The private detectives have listened for so long and haven't gotten any useful information, so we definitely won't hear anything valuable," Kitahara Makoto mused for two seconds, "But let's turn it on anyway.
I've never encountered one before, and I'm a bit curious about how effective a bug is."
"Okay, I've turned it on."
Togawa Sakiko picked up her phone and operated it.
Soon, sounds came from the RV's hidden speakers.
Footsteps, talking, and even the voice of Crayon Shin-chan, all sounded quite clear.
"It feels like what we're doing now is like secret agents in a movie," Nagasaki Soyo said, surprised.
"Unless something unexpected happens, we'll be spending the night in the RV tonight," Kitahara Makoto suggested, "Does everyone want to take a shower?"
Togawa Sakiko nodded gently: "Kitahara-kun, you go first, Soyo and I will shower later."
"Okay."
Since the RV had limited space, a bathtub was out of the question; only a standing shower was possible, but fortunately, there was hot water.
Kitahara Makoto took a quick shower, then came out wearing a bathrobe.
"I feel much better after washing up."
Kitahara Makoto walked to the refrigerator, opened it, and found it fully stocked with various drinks, and even alcohol.
"Do you want anything to drink?"
Togawa Sakiko raised a hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and softly said, "Let's drink after we've showered."
Kitahara Makoto distorted open a drink and had just taken two sips when he suddenly heard a terrible sound coming from inside the RV…
