Chapter 30: Have You Gone Crazy, Ruri-san?

From St. Sakura Girls’ High School to the shopping district, you only had to cross one road. Since it was dismissal time, traffic wasn’t very heavy, and there were even people specifically managing traffic order so students could leisurely cross the street after school.

Quillan was just like this—strolling leisurely along the road with Miyuki Sakurai, chatting as they headed toward the Moe-Jam Cafe where he worked part-time. So Ruri Hosokawa and Haruka Himuro, who had come chasing after Quillan, quickly spotted the two of them and caught up.

"Quillan, wait up!" Ruri Hosokawa quickly caught up and grabbed Quillan’s clothes when he turned around.

She was probably afraid Quillan would ignore her and run off. It was clear that after being ignored by both Quillan and Kaoru Amatsuki today, Ruri Hosokawa, now that she’d finally caught Quillan, felt incredibly powerless inside...

Ruri Hosokawa was terrified Quillan would ignore her like he had in the classroom. She was practically traumatized. Now that she’d caught him, she immediately demanded: "Quillan, tell me why that arrogant Kaoru Amatsuki let a school-rule-breaking jerk like you off so easily?"

"Class President-san..." Miyuki Sakurai looked around, then quickly whispered: "P-Please let go of Quillan first, and then talk properly!"

Miyuki Sakurai had been happily chatting alone with Quillan, able to unreservedly share her thoughts and hopes about part-time work with him. But Ruri Hosokawa and Haruka Himuro’s sudden arrival robbed her of her alone time with Quillan, which put Miyuki Sakurai in a bad mood.

So the normally adorable Miyuki Sakurai boldly voiced her protest to Ruri Hosokawa!

At this, Haruka Himuro, standing beside Ruri Hosokawa, also became displeased. She shouted at Miyuki Sakurai: "Hey, Sakurai-san, may I ask who you are to Mas—who you are to Quillan? Ruri-chan is asking Quillan a question. Why are you getting so worked up?"

The conflict between Haruka Himuro and Miyuki Sakurai had never been resolved, and now they were about to come to blows.

Haruka Himuro was also somewhat embarrassed, because in front of Ruri Hosokawa, she couldn’t call Quillan "Master." She was even afraid Ruri Hosokawa would get suspicious if she called him "Quillan," so she used the awkward compromise "Quillan."

Ruri Hosokawa was facing off against Quillan, while Haruka Himuro and Miyuki Sakurai were staring each other down. The atmosphere was anything but harmonious!

Actually, things on Quillan and Ruri Hosokawa’s side were fine—at most, Ruri Hosokawa looked angry, while Quillan looked at her calmly, not even caring that his clothes were being grabbed. Instead, he looked at Ruri Hosokawa with amusement and asked: "Class President-san, what makes you think I violated school discipline?"

Though he smiled on the surface, inside Quillan was wondering whether Kaoru Amatsuki had said something she shouldn’t have to Ruri Hosokawa. Otherwise, why would Ruri Hosokawa ask something like that?

Ruri Hosokawa didn’t notice what Quillan was speculating about. She looked at him suspiciously and said: "Then that’s strange. Could I have been wrong about you, you perverted Quillan? I figure a perverted man like you must have harassed some girl at school, or done something only a molester would do. That’s why Kaoru Amatsuki from the Discipline Committee went looking for you, right?"

Well, so all of this was just Ruri Hosokawa’s own wild guess!

Quillan felt relieved, and then also smug—because he’d heard about Kaoru Amatsuki’s personality too. But the Discipline Committee head Kaoru Amatsuki, who had a terrible temper and always enforced the rules impartially, had actually not revealed that Quillan had gone into the girls’ restroom. Didn’t that mean Quillan’s method of spanking Kaoru Amatsuki had worked?

It seemed that for girls who were somewhat proud deep down, this kind of crude and direct method was very effective!

Quillan thought smugly, then wondered if he should use this trick more often in the future—get really good at it, and spank any woman who dared disobey him! Quillan even deliberately let his gaze drift toward Ruri Hosokawa’s perky butt. After a wicked smile, he said: "With an imagination like yours, Class President-san, it’s a real shame you didn’t become a detective. You actually deduced that I violated school discipline just from Amatsuki-san coming to the classroom to find me?"

Ruri Hosokawa snorted proudly through her nose, then said smugly: "Well? Aren’t I amazing?"

"You really are..."

Quillan said irritably. He deliberately paused, letting Ruri Hosokawa grow even more smug, before pouring cold water on her: "My cute Class President-san, you really are full of yourself. Either you’re just dumb and brainless, or there’s a hole in your head that can never be filled! Because... only someone like that would think I violated school discipline and that Amatsuki-san let me off so easily!"

Ruri Hosokawa was stunned speechless by Quillan’s string of scolding words. Her previously smug, pretty face instantly turned pale and bloodless—because she... had actually been insulted, and called brain-dead at that!

A young lady pampered since childhood—when had she ever heard anyone say such things to her? Ruri Hosokawa immediately exploded, raising her fist and swinging at Quillan. But Quillan easily caught her wrist, and no matter how Ruri Hosokawa struggled, she couldn’t pull her hand free from his grip!

"You... I’ll bite you to death, you pervert!" In desperation, Ruri Hosokawa threw aside all her noble-lady manners and opened her mouth to bite Quillan’s arm.

Scratching faces and biting—these were the ultimate techniques in a girl’s fight! Quillan quickly pulled back his arm, dodging, but Ruri Hosokawa was like a madwoman, relentlessly chasing after Quillan’s arm to bite it!

"Have you gone crazy, Ruri Hosokawa?!"

Quillan shouted, but Ruri Hosokawa turned a deaf ear, as if she hadn’t heard him at all.

In the end, Quillan had no other choice. Not caring that they were on a main street with plenty of passersby around, he focused entirely on dodging Ruri Hosokawa’s open mouth. Finally, Quillan found his opportunity—unable to bring himself to hit a girl, he had no choice but to use his own mouth, leaning in toward Ruri Hosokawa’s lips!

Smack!

A miraculous scene unfolded!
