You Will Regret This Ichinose! [163]

Uesugi sighed as he picked up the little note Ichinose had left on the table.

Gen-kun, I’m heading to the clubroom with the others to study. I should be back around 7 PM. Let me know what you want for dinner.

Honami, if you keep acting like this, some bad woman out there is going to steal me away, you know?

You have no idea how many bad women are eyeing your precious Gen-kun.

But…

Uesugi stroked his chin.

Something feels off.

If she knew he’d be unhappy about this, why did she do it anyway? That didn’t seem like her usual personality.

Uesugi pondered deeply.

Damn it! I can’t figure it out!

No wonder people say a girl’s heart is the hardest thing to read. Without specific intel, how was he supposed to know why she was acting this way all of a sudden?

It’s not like he could just ask her outright, right?

Uesugi ruffled his own hair in frustration.

And then…

Ichinose’s sweet smile appeared in his mind.

Uesugi’s expression suddenly darkened, his gaze sharpening.

That matter… needs to be handled soon.

Screw it! Not thinking about it!

Shaking his head, Uesugi picked up his phone and summoned his most reliable card.

Uesugi: Masumi, where are you? Gaming, now. Hurry.

Kamuro: Running errands for Sakayanagi. Play by yourself.

Uesugi: Masumi, a servant cannot serve two masters! I’m the only one you truly love!

Kamuro: You wanna die? 🤬

Uesugi: Fine, my bad. But I’m currently drowning in heartbreak. I urgently need a beautiful girl to comfort my wounded soul.

Kamuro: Sakayanagi would love to hear about your emotional struggles. Want me to let her know? 😏

Uesugi: No, she’d just smile sweetly while mocking me in the most passive-aggressive way possible… and then tell me to submit to her white stockings.

Uesugi: Please, Masumi, you’re my only hope! 😢

Kamuro: Tch…

Mission success! Uesugi put his phone away with satisfaction.

...

Kamuro Masumi sat cross-legged on Uesugi’s bed, arms folded, her pale legs resting over one another.

She looked down at him—currently lying face down on the floor pretending to be dead—with an expression of pure amusement.

"Alright, spill it. I promise not to laugh."

"You’ll only hold back while I’m talking? Masumi, you’re heartless."

Uesugi feigned hurt.

Kamuro Masumi smirked. "A shameless bastard like you doesn’t deserve any sympathy."

A guy who had blackmailed her with that video and then had the nerve to ask her that kind of question?

Honestly, the fact that she hadn’t crushed him underfoot yet was already her showing restraint.

"Ahem…"

Uesugi cleared his throat, his expression suddenly turning serious.

"Masumi, did you know? Medically speaking, lying flat on the floor like this is actually bad for maintaining proper cervical spine curvature. It can also strain the muscles at the back of the neck."

"I’m not here for a medical lecture. I’m here to listen to your tragic love story."

Kamuro Masumi, whose academic performance wasn’t exactly stellar, had zero interest in hearing his nonsense.

Unfazed, Uesugi remained sprawled on the ground and continued:

"Prolonged posture like this can also affect blood circulation. In extreme cases, it might even lead to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain."

He paused meaningfully.

"The best solution for this… would be to find a way to relieve the symptoms while reducing cranial blood pressure at the same time."

"#!"

"Speak normal human language!"

Kamuro Masumi clenched her fists, completely lost.

"I need an exceptionally beautiful girl to rest my head on her soft, fair thighs. That way, my brain can clear up."

Uesugi delivered his request with a calm and serious tone.

"I think your brain is already beyond saving."

"Which is why I need your help to restore it. If you agree, I’ll appoint you as the Chief Guardian of the Uesugi Household. You’ll get to pin Sakayanagi beneath you."

"Dream on. You can fantasize about that in your sleep."

Kamuro Masumi sneered.

Seeing that his usual tricks weren’t working, Uesugi activated his final move.

He opened his eyes, gazed into Kamuro Masumi’s with an intense stare, and spoke in a low, commanding voice:

"Masumi. That’s an order."

Kamuro Masumi froze.

Her face darkened as she shot him a glare, gritting her teeth.

"You think that is going to make me give in?"

...

"Aaahh~"

A satisfied sigh escaped Uesugi’s lips.

Turning his head slightly, he nuzzled against Kamuro Masumi’s stomach, feeling the smooth fabric of her clothes against his skin.

Breathing in her faint scent, he closed his eyes, looking as peaceful as a sleeping baby.

"If you fall asleep, I swear I’ll kick you right now."

Sitting on the bed, Kamuro Masumi gently ran her fingers through his hair—her voice utterly devoid of warmth.

"Sigh~"

Uesugi let out a disappointed sigh. "Why? Masumi, your thighs are so comfortable."

"And how is that my problem? It’s not like I can sleep on my own thighs."

She grumbled bitterly.

"You could always rest on my chest instead~"

"Why don’t you save that line for Sakayanagi? I’m sure she’d love to hear it—wait. No."

Kamuro Masumi snapped back to her senses, pinched Uesugi’s ear, and scolded,

"I’m here to listen to your so-called heartbreak, not get dragged into this nonsense!"

"Oh, right. I almost forgot."

Uesugi had a sudden realization.

"Then talk!"

"It’s because your thighs were too comfortable."

"Cut the crap!"

Kamuro Masumi’s cheeks tinged slightly pink.

"Ahem."

Uesugi cleared his throat, this time, his expression turning serious.

"I’m going to say it now."

"Mhmm."

Kamuro Masumi nodded, unconsciously leaning in slightly, ears ready to listen.

"Ichinose…"

Mhm, mhm, what about Ichinose?

"Ichinose actually…"

Yes?!

"Ichinose actually left me behind to go study with her classmates."

Uesugi covered his face dramatically, looking utterly devastated.

"…Hah?"

"Can you believe it? Ichinose! Left me! To go study! With her classmates!"

Uesugi flailed his arms in exaggerated despair.

"…"

Kamuro Masumi fell completely silent.

"So…"

She clenched her fists. A dangerous smile formed on her lips.

"The love crisis you wanted to cry to me about… was this?"

"Isn’t this a serious problem?!"

Uesugi looked at her as if the sky itself had fallen.

BAM!

Without hesitation, Kamuro Masumi flipped him off her lap and onto the floor.

Raising her foot—clad in sleek black stockings—she stomped down hard.

"YOU. ABSOLUTE. MORON!"
