"So you are still neighbors, this is really a coincidence."

Although the air was filled with gunpowder, Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't care about it and joked with a smile.

"Yes, an unfortunate coincidence."

After saying this, Yukinoshita Yukino regained his calmness, turned his head away, and continued to watch the books on his legs. However, even if it were her, she would not be able to read in this atmosphere. After all, she was just pretending to make them know their attitude.

Ling Yi doesn't care. He doesn't want to stay here.

But as soon as he turned around, Hiratsuka Shizuka pressed his shoulder.

"The purpose of our visit is not to quarrel. What we really want to say is about the club activities of the Ministry of Service. As the Minister, do you plan to bring in grudges outside of official duties?"

I have to say this very clever.

Although it is just a low-level provocation method that cannot be more low-level, it is also an open plot. Yukinoshita Yukinoshita, who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, will jump down even if he knows it is a pit.

If this matter has nothing to do with me, Ling Yi would definitely give a thumbs up to give Mr. Hiratsuka a thumbs up.

"call……"

Yukinoshita Yukino's face became even more ugly than before, especially his eyes, which were so cold that he didn't treat people as human beings.

despite this--

"I understand. Since I have said this, I will listen to the teacher's purpose. But I have to make it clear. It is not necessary to accept the entrustment as long as I submit it. I also have the right to refuse."

The implicit meaning of this sentence is, "No matter what you say, I will not agree. If you are sensible, save your saliva and leave early."

But Hiratsuka Shizuka seemed to have not heard it and said to himself:

"Actually, it's not a big trouble. The guy next to me is not very interested in the school. As a student, this is a problem, so I plan to ask you to help me correct it."

"To be honest, I have been approved by the principal..."

Ling Yi didn't want the billion yen to be wasted like this.

However, his rebuttal was ignored by these two people.

"So that's the case, it's really a problem."

Yukinoshita Yuki glanced at him lukewarmly.

"But this should be what the teacher should do?"

"Ahhh, the work pressure has been too great recently, and I still have to be busy with contact... I mean, contacting the parents of students with problems with academic performance, discussing solutions, etc., and I really can't give up the energy to deal with this problem."

Hiratsuka Shizuka said with a distressed face, holding his head.

"Is that right? But I'm sorry, I can't do anything about it. This man is beyond my ability. I think it's better to give up on him."

Yukinoshita Yukino refused without hesitation, so she didn't want to be involved with this man.

"Although this is not so good, I think it's a good idea. Instead of wasting my energy on me, I didn't go to the beauty salon to do some maintenance after get off work, and my forehead wrinkles were all out."

Ling Yi also took over the conversation.

"Don't you two have such a tacit understanding at this time, okay? Let's make a bet."

Hiratsuka Shizuka's mouth twitched slightly, and he had no choice but to take the final measures.

“Not interested.”

“It’s pointless.”

"The loser must unconditionally obey a requirement made by the winner."

“…”

“…”

The first collision occurred in sight.

The two stared at each other without giving in.

No one took the lead in looking away, as if he wanted to win in momentum.

"It seems that you are very interested in your appearance."

Seeing this, the teacher finally smiled satisfied.

Things finally developed in an ideal direction.

"Then I'll explain the rules-"

"Wait, I haven't agreed yet."

Ling Yi suddenly interrupted.

"Ah, will you back down too? Although this is indeed the correct judgment."

As if he had found his opponent's flaw, Yukinoshita drew a proud arc from his mouth.

"No, I just think the bet is not perfect enough."

Ling Yi said lightly.

"—I don't care about the specific content of the bet. I have only lost once until now, and that's the last time."

"So, what advice do you have?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka asked with a sigh.

"The bets mentioned by the teacher before did not have any restrictions. In other words, no matter what excessive conditions are, it is OK."

"Ah... this is indeed my negligence."

"So, you want to reduce the risk to ensure you don't suffer too much loss after losing, right?"

Yukinoshita Yukinoha made a sarcastic sentence by habit.

However, she did not expect that Ling Yi would smile similar to her when he heard this.

"No, you were wrong. What I want to say is that since any excessive conditions are OK, then just set the most excessive conditions."

"What……?"

"Hey, don't make things worse. Although the starting point is good, it will be more of a loss if it hurts either of you."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was scared out of cold sweat.

"Don't worry about the teacher, I have my own qualities."

Ling Yi smiled brightly, but he couldn't feel the warmth.

"Since that's the case, let's talk about my opinions."

Yukinoshita Yukino was very calm.

"It's very simple. If I win, you can't refuse no matter what I say. If I lose, I will do the same."

As soon as Ling Yi said this, the air in the room suddenly became nervous.

Even Yukinoshita Yukino, who had already been awakened, couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

If betting is compared to a game, then once it is established, both sides will bet on all their chips on this game.

"You two..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka regrets meddling in other people's business.

Fortunately, there is still a turning point.

"Hirakatsuki, it's your turn to announce the content of the bet."

Yukinoshita reminded coldly.

Although the risk was suddenly pulled to the top, she would not retreat.

Maybe that man is just using the abacus to make him retreat.

"All right."

Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned.

There is no way back now.

She did not want anyone to become a loser. For this reason, she had to change the original plan and design a rule with a 99% chance of a 'draw'.

To be honest, if it were someone else, she would definitely not have thought of this method as soon as possible.

But it is precisely because they are the two who are facing each other and are calm and rational.

Only then could she come up with this unsolvable rule as soon as possible.

Even Shizuka Hiratsuka herself couldn't help but be moved by her wit, and her tense expression relaxed and she smiled easily again.

"Before the end of this semester, whoever falls in love with the other party first loses. If it cannot be done until the end of this semester, then the draw will be declared and the bet will be invalid. As for the criteria for satisfaction, it is up to you. I believe that with the character of you two, you cannot do anything that is against your conscience."

“——!?”

“——!?”
