Just then, Muichiro suddenly stood up and pointed at Tashinora dramatically.
“Fine!”
“If you think you’re more handsome than me, then let’s settle this properly.”
Tashinora crossed his arms confidently.
“I was about to say the same thing.”
Then both of them looked at each other seriously.
“Let’s go outside and ask girls who looks better between us.”
Shin immediately stood up excitedly.
“Ohhh!
This is getting interesting!”
Roy smirked.
Jennifer grabbed popcorn from the table dramatically.
“Continue.”
Just as both of them were about to walk out—
Aria suddenly appeared in front of them with crossed arms.
“…Where do you think you’re going?”
Both of them froze instantly.
Muichiro blinked.
“Huh?”
Aria narrowed her eyes.
“You two have grown up this much?”
Then she pointed at both of them one by one.
“You’re going outside to ask random girls who’s more handsome?”
Silence.
Muichiro: “…”
Tashinora: “…”
Then Aria grabbed both of their ears at the same time.
“Now stop this nonsense and quietly complete my assignments.”
Both of them instantly shouted—
“OWWWWW!”
Just then, another voice suddenly came from behind.
“My little troublemaker…”
Everyone turned around.
It was Bali Grandma.
She slowly walked inside with a gentle smile on her face.
The moment Aria saw her, she immediately released Muichiro and Tashinora’s ears.
Bali looked at the scene in front of her and sighed dramatically.
“You’re troubling Tuantuan and Muichiro again, aren’t you?”
Tashinora instantly reacted.
“Bali Grandma!”
He looked completely offended.
“How many times do I have to say it?”
He pointed at himself dramatically.
“I’m not Tuantuan anymore!”
“My name is Tashinora!”
Bali blinked innocently.
“Oh?”
Then she smiled warmly.
“Okay, Tuantuan.”
Silence.
Tashinora: “…”
Roy immediately looked away and started laughing.
Shin almost fell from the sofa.
Meanwhile Aria was holding her stomach laughing.
“HAHAHA— Tuantuan!”
Tashinora slowly turned toward Aria.
“…And whose assignments was I completing?”
Aria’s laughter instantly stopped.
“…Tashinora, you’re very handsome.”
Tashinora fixed his collar proudly and smirked.
“I already know.”
Silence—
Then everyone burst out laughing again.
Aria narrowed her eyes and pouted.
“…Why does his confidence keep increasing every day?”
Muichiro sighed dramatically.
“Because people keep feeding his ego.”
After that, everyone sat together and had breakfast while talking and joking around.
The house was filled with laughter and chaos as usual.
A while later, everyone started returning to their own homes.
Meanwhile, Muichiro and Tashinora were sitting with notebooks spread all over the table.
Muichiro looked exhausted already.
“…Why am I doing someone else’s assignments?”
Tashinora kept writing while sighing.
“Because somehow we always get dragged into Aria’s problems.”
Just then, Aria walked by holding a juice box and smiled brightly at them.
“Work hard!”
“Fighting!” ✨
Both of them slowly looked at her.
“…Get out.”
The next day—
For once, Aria woke up unusually early.
She quickly got ready, grabbed her bag, and rushed toward school.
Even the house staff looked surprised.
One of them blinked in confusion.
“Young Miss woke up early?”
Another looked shocked.
“…Is the world ending today?”
Meanwhile, Aria was already running outside.
“No assignments today!”
“Freedom!”
She laughed proudly while heading toward school.
The school bell rang across the campus.
Tringggg— Tringggg—
Students slowly settled into their seats as classes began one after another.
Meanwhile, Aria lazily rested her chin on her hand while staring outside the window.
Shin looked at her suspiciously.
“…You’re being quiet today.”
Aria blinked.
“Hm?”
Then she shrugged casually.
“I’m just wondering whether Muichiro and Tashinora actually finished my assignments or not.”
Roy immediately looked at her in disbelief.
“You came to school without checking?!”
Aria smiled proudly.
“Trust is important.” ✨
Roy: “…”
Shin: “…”
Just then—
Knock… Knock…
The classroom door opened.
Ms.
Chen walked inside while holding some files in her hands.
The entire class immediately became quiet.
“Good morning, everyone.”
“Good morning, Ms.
Chen!” everyone replied together.
Ms.
Chen smiled and looked toward the class.
“Today, we have two new transfer students joining us.”
Instantly, whispers spread across the classroom.
“Two?”
“Again?”
“Who are they?”
Meanwhile, Aria suddenly sat up straight.
Her eyes narrowed suspiciously.
“…Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?”
Just then, Aria suddenly froze.
“…Wait.”
A thought immediately crossed her mind.
Her eyes widened slightly.
Muichiro also took admission in this academy…
She slowly sat up properly.
If one of the transfer students is Muichiro…
Then she narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
…then who’s the second one?
Meanwhile, Ms.
Chen looked toward the door and said,
“Come in.”
The next second—
The classroom door slowly opened.
Muichiro walked inside calmly with his hands in his pockets.
Instantly, whispers spread across the class.
“Whoa…”
“He’s handsome…”
“Who is he?”
Suzumi and Jennifer’s eyes widened.
“MUICHIRO?!”
Shin almost stood up from his seat.
Roy blinked twice.
Meanwhile, Aria proudly smiled and whispered to herself,
“Hehe, I knew it.”
But before she could relax—
Another person entered behind Muichiro.
Silver-colored hair.
Crimson eyes.
Tashinora casually walked inside with a calm expression on his face.
The classroom instantly became even louder.
“ANOTHER ONE?!”
“No way…”
“Why are both of them so good-looking?!”
Aria stared at him in complete shock.
Her smile slowly disappeared.
“…No.”
“…No, no, no.”
Then she slowly dropped her head onto the desk dramatically.
“I knew it…”
Her voice sounded completely defeated.
“…This is exactly why I was getting a bad feeling.”
Ms.
Chen looked at Muichiro and Tashinora for a moment and then smiled.
“The principal already informed me that both of you are in Aria’s family circle.”
Then she pointed toward Aria’s desk.
“So you two can sit beside Aria.”
After that, she looked toward Shuyong.
“Shuyong, you can sit beside Usagi.”
Shuyong nodded quietly and moved to another seat.
Meanwhile, Aria slowly widened her eyes in horror.
“…What?”
Then she dramatically held her head.
“Oh no…”
She looked at Muichiro and Tashinora.
“Now I have to hear these two talking nonsense all day.”
Muichiro looked offended immediately.
“Nonsense?”
Tashinora crossed his arms.
“We’re wonderful people.”
Aria stared at them blankly.
“…That confidence again.”
Just then, Ms.
Chen clapped her hands lightly.
“Alright everyone.”
“Take out your assignments.”
Silence.
Aria’s expression instantly froze.
“…Assignment?”
Slowly—very slowly—
She looked down at her bag.
Then panic appeared on her face.
She quickly opened it and started searching.
Books… pencil box… random snacks… another snack…
But no assignment.
Her movements suddenly stopped.
Then a memory flashed through her mind.
This morning—
Rushing to school…
Running outside in a hurry…
Leaving notebooks on the table…
Aria slowly looked up with a pale face.
“…No way.”
“I left them at home.”
Meanwhile, Muichiro casually looked at her for a second.
Then sighed.
“You really are hopeless.”
Before Aria could panic more—
Thak!
Something lightly hit her head.
“Ow!”
Aria held her head and turned around angrily.
Muichiro was holding a notebook while looking at her with a dead-serious face.
He had just pulled the assignments out of her own bag.
“You forgetful idiot.”
He placed the notebooks in front of her.
“You forgot your assignments at home?”
Then he raised an eyebrow.
“…Really?”
Aria blinked.
Looked at the notebook.
Looked at Muichiro.
Looked at the notebook again.
Then suddenly—
“MUICHIROOOO!”
She grabbed him dramatically.
“You’re an angel!” ✨
