As I expected, I still got the attention of many people. However, its a different kind of attention compared to admiration for my improved physical appearance. What I got as I made my way to their school was either a curious look or straight-up laughter while pointing at me.

Some kids even ran up to me asking for a magic trick. They had the misconception that clowns are magicians.

Having been focused on getting to the school to not let the girl wait on me for too long, I kept a straight face and ignored each and every person taking notice of me. It made the kids cry but who cares about them?

When I was around less than fifty steps to their school gates, I waited for a chance when there were little to no students anymore. I snuck past the corner of their eyes and carefully walked into the school ground, dodging small obstacles along the way before sprinting to their School Building.

I memorized Yukaris guide and so, I was about to continue. However, I had to stop and retreat to a distance when I heard an all too familiar voice, complaining to her friend as they made their way out of the School Building.

I hurriedly hid behind one of the pillars to not be caught in their line of sight as I eavesdropped on the pair leaving the building.

Ne, Fuyu Where is Ruki? Where is my husband? He should be close by. I sensed him.

Thats definitely Akane, alright. Her quirk was still in full swing. And by the words she uttered, her Ruki Radar was also fully activated. Its that weird ability to sense whenever I was nearby.

I couldnt dismiss that when it already happened a few times before

Thats why I retreated further, hiding myself well at a fair distance from them. If I didnt do that, that silly girl would easily recognize me even with this absurd disguise.

If not for my promise to Yukari, I wouldnt mind showing up in front of her to carry her home. Unfortunately, the best I could do here was to watch over them.

Why will he be here? He should still be at his school. Come, Eri and Futaba should be out soon. Lets wait for them there.

I see. Theyre just about to leave school. Akane ran out when she sensed me and Fuyu ran after her. Thats probably the scenario before this.

Eh I cant be wrong. I really sensed him. Akane was still hopeful.

When I heard that, I couldnt help but peek from my hiding spot to check on the girl. There, I saw her looking to the left and right, hoping to catch a glimpse of me. Fuyu, on the other hand, was at her side, supporting her carefully like a nanny to a child.

Akane was that much of a handful whenever shes like this. I could only imagine how difficult it was for Fuyu to control her months before my change.

Seeing this scene at this angle, shes truly extending herself here. Shes truly a great friend.

Now I couldnt help but feel bad for telling her bluntly last night that I could become the reason for their friendship to be destroyed.

Shes really a kind girl who always looks after her best friend, similar to Arisa and Izumi-senpai.

Alright. I know you already miss him a lot but youre going to see him at home. He said it, right? Hell always go home to you.

Y-yeah, I miss him. Fuyu, dont you miss him too?

Huh? That silly girl. What is she trying to say there?

But upon hearing that question, I somehow found myself peeking again. To check on Fuyus reaction to it.

Huh? Why will I miss him? Hes your boyfriend.

As expected, thats how shes going to answer. I failed to see her face though. Her back was turned to me. But thanks to that, shes covering my hiding place from Akanes line of sight.

I dont mind if you also come to like him, Fuyu. We can miss him together. Hes going to take care of you as well.

Akane? I know she somehow suspected that Fuyu is also interested in me but thats probably an influence of her quirk.

You, stop saying that absurdity. You waited for too long to be with him. Dont waste it. If need be, collar him to yourself so he wont be involved with many other girls again.

Right. Of course, being close to Akane, shes also somewhat aware of my shenanigans during middle school. Thats also one of the reasons why she kept on holding on to the suspicion that I was cheating.

If I showed up in front of them like this, that suspicion would once again be reignited.

Fortunately, that conversation ended there. Eri and Futaba came walking out of the School Building and they started making their way out of the school grounds.

Akane kept on looking back though. Thats why I had to hold my breath and plant myself on that pillar, just to make sure that she wouldnt spot me.

Her radar was that strong. Even with Fuyu trying to talk her out of it, she still held onto it.

Five minutes later, with Akanes group gone, I finally got the chance to come inside the School Building and straight to Yukaris classroom.

Elizabeth already left for home. That chuunibyou was considerate enough to give this day to her best friend.

One funny disguise and a bouquet of flowers, coming in! As I stepped inside the classroom, I widely grinned, announcing my arrival.

The room was already deserted save for the lone girl waiting at her seat. My eyes instantly focused on her and stretched out my arms, presenting the bouquet of flowers.

Shes expecting me so shes not that surprised. However, when she got a good look at my appearance, the girls laughter instantly filled the room.

She then stood up and waited for me to close our distance. I handed the bouquet to her which she happily received.

After sniffing it once, Yukari cupped my cheek and planted a kiss on my overly lipstick-coated lips. Through that one kiss, it successfully conveyed Yukaris emotion to me. Shes very happy and contented at the surprise even if it looked rather cheap and unplanned.

You idiot Ruki. I said no funny disguise, right? She looked me up and down before laughing once more. This time, shes laughing even harder as she looked at me up close. She touched the pierrot's nose and poke it.

I let her do what she wanted to me and just let my arm close around her back. Did you say that? I cant remember.

This guy. Punishing you earlier wasnt enough, it seems.

Sorry, Yukari. But I also cant remember that punishment. I remember getting a reward though. A very pleasurable reward. I put on a perverted smile before letting one of my hands slide down to her butt, cupping her round and elastic buttcheek in my palm.

Upon feeling that, Yukari instantly blushed and hit my chest lightly. Having remembered what we did, the girl quickly tried to think of a way to get back at me. In the end, she decided to pinch to grab the pierrot nose, taking it off of me. With the obstruction gone, she tiptoed and bit my nose.

A-at least play along, Ruki. I convinced myself that I punished you back there. I overpowered you, pinned you on that wall, and had my way on you. The girl recounted it while taking sweet bites on my nose and lips.

Yeah. She called that a punishment because she didnt let me move at all. However, we both know that it was more of a reward when she made me feel that good.

Earlier, she only let my arms move. Thats why I used it to brush and fix her hair whenever it would get disheveled when she squatted in front of me. Following that, I supported her balance when she lifted one of her feet to hook it around me before moving her hips lustfully with my length swallowed up in its entirety by her narrow hole.

Alright. Lets say thats a punishment. Is that also what Im going to get this time?

W-what do you think?

I hear that as a yes, I smirked and let my hand squeeze what it was holding. And this time I initiated the kiss that Yukari accepted without any second thoughts.

Just like this We spent at least ten minutes inside that classroom before we decided to leave.

And because she didnt want us to grab a lot of attention going out, we cleaned my face and got out of that funny disguise, switching to a lighter disguise that could prevent someone from recognizing me.

We then strode out of their school gates hand-in-hand as we made our way to a shopping district where I took her on a short date.

And sure enough. Our last destination is

Not a love hotel but her house. The Taniguchi Household.

Y-yukari? Whos that?

The girl was about to open up their gate and invite me in when suddenly, someone I couldnt quite recognize showed up from the opposite direction we came in.

Because it was already dark, I couldnt quite see his appearance.

But that voice, I already heard it before.

Yukari also turned to the speaker and tilted her head a bit before an amused smile showed up on her lips. She pointed at the bouquet in her arms and answered, Isnt this obvious, Mikami? This guy is my boyfriend, Ruki.

Mikami. Ah. Yeah. Hes that ex who took advantage of her easily-coerced trait before.

I forgot. Hes also a childhood friend who lives nearby like Tadano and Ogawa. Just that their house wasnt next to each other. Judging from the way he showed up like this hes going to try to get her back by greeting her during her birthday. Is that it?
