But unfortunately, the hope in her heart ultimately failed to materialize.
Listening to the fierce argument coming from next door, Mikami Yuka sat at her desk, remaining silent for a long time.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
At the same time, in the Hanyu residence, a flushed Mitsuko pushed Shiroko out of her embrace. "Oh my, Yuichi is no longer a child, stop being so naughty..."
"Mitsuko, you promised earlier that you would listen to everything I say."
"Did I say that? How could I forget? You must be remembering it wrong, Yuichi!"
With that said, Mitsuko tried to get up from the sofa and flee.
But how could Shiroko give her that chance?
He casually reached out his arm to wrap around her slender yet incredibly supple waist, pulling her into his embrace with a slight tug.
Gently stroking her purple hair, Shiroko's face was filled with a "serious" expression. "To think Mitsuko would go back on her word. You must be punished!"
"What should the punishment be? I'll have to think about this carefully."
"I know, I'll punish Mitsuko by..."
Hearing Shiroko's intended punishment for her, Mitsuko's already flushed cheeks instantly turned as red as the evening sunset, and she continuously cried out, "No! No!"
Unfortunately for her, objections were invalid!
Bending down to scoop up Mitsuko's flawless, ivory-white legs, Shiroko strode toward the bedroom.
As the door slammed shut, the bedroom was completely isolated from the outside world, forming two separate realms.
A long time later, looking at the beautiful woman beside him who had already fallen into a deep sleep with the corners of her brows slightly raised, Shiroko lowered his head to plant a gentle kiss on her before picking up his phone.
After a sweet exchange of messages with his little girlfriend, he wrapped his arms around the warm, delicate body beside him and slowly drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, after waking up to Mitsuko's special morning routine, Shiroko arrived at Seifu Academy.
However, before he could even enter the classroom, he was stopped at the corner of the stairs by a nervous-looking Mikami Yuka.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Shiroko feigned a bewildered expression despite knowing exactly what she wanted. "Yuka, is there something you need?"
Glancing around to ensure no one was passing by, Mikami Yuka asked in a low voice, "Yuichi, do you still have any more of that medicine?"
"Oh, you mean that medicine. I still have some!"
Hearing this, a glimmer of hope instantly flashed in Mikami Yuka's beautiful eyes, and she hurriedly said, "Then could you give me some? I can pay for it!"
"Yuka, do you really think the eldest young master of the Hanyu Group lacks your little bit of money?"
"And I don't mean to belittle you, but the production cost of this medicine is extremely high. It's simply not something you can afford!"
As soon as those words were spoken, Mikami Yuka felt as though she had plummeted straight from heaven into hell.
But just then, Shiroko's next sentence allowed her to find a ray of light in the darkness. "Of course, if you are willing to make a deal with me, it's not entirely impossible for me to give you some."
"What kind of deal do you want to make, Yuichi?"
"It's very simple! This is the key to Room 502 at the *** Hotel. All you have to do is arrive at the room before seven o'clock."
"How about it? Very simple, right?!"
Mikami Yuka was no fool; she instantly understood what he meant.
He wanted her to trade herself for the potion.
"Aren't you afraid of breaking Kanzaki's heart by doing this, Yuichi?"
"This is just a transaction! Of course, you can refuse, and we can pretend I never brought it up!"
Saying that, he made a move to put the key away.
But in the next moment, Mikami Yuka snatched it from his hand and walked briskly toward the classroom.
'I originally thought Yuichi was a good person, but I never expected him to be like this...'
Seeing her latest inner thoughts, Shiroko curled his lips in disdain.
In this messed-up crossover anime world, being a good person was synonymous with getting cucked.
He had no intention of being cucked, so whoever wanted to play the good guy could go right ahead!
During the break on the rooftop, Marina hugged Shiroko's arm, gently resting her head on his shoulder as she spoke softly. "Yuichi, can we go to the amusement park this weekend?"
"What made you think of going to the amusement park? Was it Airi's suggestion?"
"You guessed it, Yuichi."
Hearing this, Marina playfully stuck out her small tongue, her face revealing a hint of embarrassment at having her little lie exposed.
"Marina, you are just too cute. I can't help it, I have to kiss you!"
"No way."
...
Ultimately, Shiroko agreed to Marina's request to visit the amusement park together over the weekend.
Of course, he also wanted to use this opportunity to grind some affection points with Airi.
Ever since he started dating Marina, that girl had been deliberately distancing herself from him, and that simply wouldn't do!
Soon, evening arrived.
After having the driver take Marina and the others home, Shiroko drafted a message to Mitsuko.
He stated that he would be staying over at a classmate's house tonight, telling her not to worry.
With that taken care of, he went alone to the *** Hotel, took the elevator to Room 502, and gently knocked on the door.
Hearing the knock, Mikami Yuka, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, trembled violently.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally stood up, walked slowly to the door, and opened it.
"Yuka, I'm glad you came!"
Saying this with a faint smile, Shiroko extended his index finger, gently lifting her delicate chin to study her closely.
Being treated like this by the opposite sex for the first time in her life, Mikami Yuka felt as if a little rabbit was constantly thumping against her chest. Her voice trembled slightly. "Y-Yuichi, don't forget our agreement!"
"Of course! Keeping promises is the most basic principle of a businessman!"
Nodding gently, Mikami Yuka closed her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering incessantly.
Leaning down to capture her slightly cold lips, Shiroko held her close as they walked toward the bed.
The reddish-brown sailor uniform fell to the floor, and soft murmurs gradually drifted through the air.
...
Afterward, looking at the girl with her delicate brows slightly furrowed, Shiroko handed over a purple vial. "Drink it!"
Seeing the familiar object, Mikami Yuka looked up, her eyes filled with confusion.
Wasn't this something only men drank to be effective? Why would a girl like her need to drink it?
Seeing her expression and knowing what she was thinking, Shiroko said in a deep voice, "This is fundamentally a Healing Potion. Treating that particular aspect is only one of its effects."
Subconsciously, Mikami Yuka wanted to put it away.
She could just endure the pain and it would pass. If she gave this to her father, it could return her family to the warm and harmonious atmosphere of the past.
Even though it had been brief, during that time, she had at least been happy!
