Today's target is Akane Nanao, who happens to be my classmate, so things will be much easier.
Then just pay more attention to her, and that will be enough.
Time... there are ten hours left.
If nothing unexpected happens, that should be when Akane Nanao goes to the baseball club in the afternoon, right?
However, there is a possibility that the time may be brought forward due to unforeseen circumstances, and this must also be taken into account.
Thanks to my efforts last night, my current magic power limit has exceeded 700 points.
"call……"
Qiu Bai let out a soft breath, raised his hand to rub his forehead, a helpless smile appearing on his lips, and slowly spoke:
"There's no other way. Looks like I'll have to keep a close eye on Akane Nanao today."
……
As he pondered, he unknowingly walked to the classroom door, above which was written "Grade 3A".
Qiu Bai walked into the classroom as usual, sat down in his seat, but found several textbooks piled on the desk: a math book, a history book, an English book...
"Hey, whose book is this?"
He glanced at his classmates and asked a question with a hint of confusion.
At that moment, the black-haired girl sitting at the table in front of Qiu Bai gracefully turned around—
Her movements carried an unintentional elegance, her jet-black hair swaying gently with her movements, a few stray strands falling beside her fair cheeks.
The girl wore a simple white shirt with the collar slightly open, revealing her delicate collarbone, and paired it with a dark pleated skirt.
Her legs were encased in exquisite black stockings, the delicate texture clinging to her skin, subtly revealing her alluring complexion and inspiring endless fantasies.
—She slowly and gracefully raised one leg, making an arc in the air before placing it on her other leg, looking very elegant.
The black-haired girl's beautiful crimson eyes looked at Qiu Bai, and she raised her hand slightly to support her chin, uttering a sound:
"Kuse-kun, that's your book... Sakura specially bought it for you, so you should thank the class president."
He looked at the black-haired girl at the table in front of him, who looked very familiar, because he had recognized her yesterday. It was Kasumigaoka Utaha.
"Really? The class monitor is quite nice."
Qiu Bai scanned the classroom, but couldn't find Miyajima Sakura. Confused, he asked:
"Huh? Where's Miyajima?"
“She might be busy. Just wait for her to come back and thank her.” Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately agreed, her gaze fixed on Akihachi’s face. She sincerely exclaimed, “I have to say, Kuze-kun really has a handsome face… he’s just like the male protagonist in a fantasy isekai novel.”
Qiu Bai smiled slightly. Although Kasumigaoka Utaha was also very appealing and was one of his targets, she wasn't his priority for the time being.
He only needs to maintain a good impression conservatively; he doesn't need to launch a fierce attack.
"Kasumigaoka, you flatter me. I'm not that pretty."
Qiu Bai smiled faintly at Kasumigaoka Utaha, saying that it's always better to be humble and low-key.
He tidied up the books on the table a little and put them in the drawer, glancing briefly at Nanao Akane not far away.
"Hmm?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked in the direction of Akihachi's gaze and saw Nanao Akane chatting happily with her female classmate.
A smile inadvertently appeared on her lips as she asked with interest, "Kuse-kun, are you perhaps interested in Nanao Akane-kun?"
"Are you familiar with her?" Qiu Bai's gaze returned to Kasumigaoka Utaha as he asked her, seemingly acknowledging her presence.
"Oh my," Kasumigaoka Utaha covered her mouth, her cheeks flushing slightly, her eyes crinkling with a smile, and said leisurely, "If I remember correctly... Kuze-san manages the students' interactions with the opposite sex, right?"
"Are you asking me this kind of question because you want to use me to get to know Nanao-kun?"
"The student council secretary, who's supposed to manage student interactions between the opposite sex, falls for a girl in his own class, only to be cruelly rejected, making him look like a clown. He then harbors resentment and uses his power to take revenge on her… This kind of plot seems quite interesting, doesn't it?"
Qiu Bai: ()
"Tsk, do I look like that kind of person? Since I'm asking you a question, it's obviously about handling things."
Qiu Bai spoke softly, raising his hand to support his chin, his gaze continuing to fall on Nanao Akane, and said:
"I now suspect that Nanao-kun has impure romantic relationships, Kasumigaoka Utaha... are you willing to cooperate with me?"
Chapter 40 The Baseball Club's Impure Relationship
"Nanao-kun, she..."
A hint of surprise flickered in Kasumigaoka Utaha's crimson eyes. She then raised her hand to stroke her smooth chin, murmuring to herself:
"This is the first time I've ever heard of something like this. Secretly dating behind the student council's back—that sounds like a very courageous love..."
Seeing Kasumigaoka's enthusiastic expression, Akihaku couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Yes... So, Kasumigaoka Utaha, are you planning to help me?"
He extended another invitation to Kasumigaoka Utaha, after all, if possible, he didn't intend to miss the opportunity to improve her favorability.
"This sounds interesting, I'd like to see it too...maybe it can be used as writing material or something."
"But what are you going to do? You're not just going to break them up, are you?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha blinked and looked at Akihachi, her eyes filled with a questioning tone.
"Break them up? I'm not going to do something so pointless."
Qiu Bai gently smoothed his black hair from his forehead and grinned.
Why should I take on the role of the bad guy?
Even if I don't want to, someone else will.
Thoughts raced through his mind, but his gaze remained subtly fixed on Akane Nanao as he continued speaking to Utaha Kasumigaoka beside him:
"Based on my current information, if Akane Nanao has a boyfriend... he's most likely in the baseball club!"
"This afternoon, I plan to take a brief look at the situation on site."
"Huh? To the baseball club?" Kasumigaoka Utaha stroked her chin thoughtfully, then murmured again, "Indeed, if Nanao Akane, as the baseball club manager, were to secretly observe the area around the baseball club, she would find it very quickly..."
"Sneak away? No, no, no." Akihachi rejected Kasumigaoka Utaha's words, focusing his gaze on her eyes, and asked, "Why would you go sneakily?"
"This afternoon... I'm going to the baseball club openly and honestly."
Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned by these words.
This man in front of me is really direct...
However... that makes sense. If we can go directly there, there's no need to sneak around.
"That sounds interesting! Let me go too, Kuze-kun!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled faintly, placing her arm under her chest, gently lifting that softness, exuding a unique mature and elegant charm.
Qiu Bai, however, also smiled and replied, "What a coincidence, that's exactly what I was thinking."
……
……
……
in the afternoon.
Outdoors, at a baseball field.
The setting sun shone down, and all the members of the baseball team gathered together, standing in two rows.
Qiu Bai stood in front of everyone, his gaze sweeping over the members, with particular focus on Nanao Akane and Katarai Shoya.
"Cough cough!"
Qiu Bai coughed tactically, slightly opened his hands towards Kasumigaoka Utaha, and began to introduce:
"First, let me introduce you all. This is my assistant, Kasumigaoka Utaha. From now on, she will be working with me to investigate impure relationships between members of the opposite sex..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha is quite famous among these students!
"Kasumigaoka-senpai... Could she be Kasumigaoka Utaha, who has maintained the top ranking in the entire school since the beginning of her enrollment?!"
"Wow! Is that really Kasumigaoka-senpai? She's so beautiful!"
"But not purely platonic relationships between the sexes... There aren't many girls in our baseball team, so how could something like that happen?"
"..."
These students started whispering amongst themselves.
Kasumigaoka Utaha listened to the fragmented sounds, glanced at Akiha beside her, and looked somewhat displeased.
Why should I become the assistant of a mere transfer student? It would be more appropriate if he were my assistant.
To save face, she put on a helpless expression, sighed softly, and spread her hands, saying:
"I really had no choice. After all, the student council secretary knelt in front of me for three whole hours, and his forehead was almost bleeding from kowtowing. I felt sorry for him, so I agreed to be his assistant."
"Huh?" Qiu Bai looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with a hint of speechlessness.
I agreed quite readily at the time, so why did it suddenly become so complicated for me to agree?
The sharp-tongued senior student can come up with anything without hesitation.
Sooner or later, I'll poke her little mouth until it's ripped apart.
"In short, there's only one reason I'm here: someone here has violated school rules by engaging in inappropriate relationships with members of the opposite sex..."
Qiu Bai suddenly spoke up, officially getting to the point.
The baseball team members looked at each other, completely bewildered as to who had done such a thing.
"I'll give the female classmate face and leave it at that for now... As for the male classmate..."
Qiu Bai's gaze lingered on Pian Laixiang, a smile playing on his lips as he slowly spoke: "I already know who he is. Do you want me to call him out, or do you want him to come out himself?"
"If you dare to do something but not take responsibility, what kind of relationship are you? Do you even deserve to be called a man?"
Qiu Bai had read the original work, so how could he not know that the victim was Pian Laixiang?
It depends on whether he comes out on his own or is called out by himself.
Amidst the passionate discussion among the students, Pian Laixiang finally couldn't withstand the noise and stepped forward, clenching his fists.
Step, step, step...
He walked to the front of the crowd, head bowed.
"Xiang Jun..."
Akane covered her mouth and murmured softly.
She never expected that Xiang would actually come out.
Although they were indeed in a relationship, it was a very conservative one; they hadn't done anything yet, not even held hands.
Akane Nanao had no idea why she had been discovered. They usually just handed each other water and chatted when they were alone together.
"I'm sorry, Secretary Kuze...it's all my fault!"
"If you're going to drop out of school, just let me drop out; don't let it affect that girl!"
Pian Laixiang also bowed directly to Qiu Bai, his words filled with sincerity.
Qiu Bai's gaze was fixed on Nanao Akane, whose face was full of emotion, and he couldn't help but click his tongue.
This kid, even before he died, managed to gain some goodwill from Akane Nanao...

Oh well, it's nothing. It probably doesn't even add as much as the damage output from pulling Seven-Tailed Akane all night.
"That's really touching... but I'll have to think about it some more..."
Qiu Bai stroked his chin, pretending to be deep in thought, then shrugged and spoke:
"Okay...you go to the supervisor's office first, I'll come find you later."
“Yes, I understand…” Pian Laixiang replied with his head down.
But at that moment, no one noticed that Katarayo Shoya's eyes were somewhat vacant.
Yes, I've fallen under Qiu Bai's hypnosis.
