Chapter 261: A Coincidental Encounter
There’s a saying about waiting for a rabbit by the stump, but before Yagi Miyuki could even “wait,” the “rabbit” had already bumped into him.
“Uh…”
Early in the morning, just as Yagi Miyuki was stepping out of his house with his school bag, he saw Hoshino Seiya pacing back and forth at his doorstep, her delicate face full of confusion, brows furrowed, seemingly unaware of his presence.
“Um…”
Yagi Miyuki touched his nose, thought for a moment, and decided to break her reverie, initiating conversation, “Hoshino, is there something you need?”
Although previously Mrs. Hoshino, citing the reason that “being too cute might attract stalkers,” had requested him to accompany Hoshino Seiya to school, that arrangement barely lasted a week before being gradually set aside.
“Ah—!”
Just as Yagi Miyuki spoke, Hoshino Seiya startled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, letting out a scream, then glaring at Yagi Miyuki with a mix of shock and annoyance.
“Don’t scare people like that…”
Just when Yagi Miyuki thought his ex-girlfriend would berate him, she instead shrank back, murmuring in a soft, almost timid voice.
Don’t suddenly be so gentle…
Yagi Miyuki’s lips twitched.
When Hoshino Seiya had just transferred back, her attitude towards him was as cold and indifferent as when he first warned Ninomiya-senpai not to disturb his studies. Hoshino Seiya had similarly advised him in a detached manner not to disrupt her high school life.
Their standing together now, did it count as… a major display of double standards?
“Do you need something?”
Yagi Miyuki asked with a smile.
He had no intention of telling Hoshino Seiya right then that he was “off the market.” In situations like this, context mattered, and the current scenario hardly seemed appropriate to convey his seriousness.

He wanted a moment where he could overwhelmingly assert his position, leaving his ex-girlfriend speechless.
It wasn’t that he was conceited, but just in case, and he meant just in case.
What if his ex-girlfriend said something like: “So what if you have a partner? Even if you’re married, you can get a divorce. I won’t give up!”
That would be a real mess.
So… he needed a “one-hit knockout”; otherwise, it would be an awkward situation of unresolved feelings.
“Isn’t Michako with you?”
Instead of answering Yagi Miyuki’s question, Hoshino Seiya countered with her own.
“She’s already left.”
Yagi Miyuki casually replied.
The junior and senior high school had different schedules, so he and Michako seldom left together. Only during the recent school festival had she clung to him persistently.
“So, Hoshino, what brings you here?”
Yagi Miyuki used formal language to maintain a distance.
“It’s, it’s nothing much.”
Hoshino Seiya seemed a bit unnatural as she turned away, playing with her long hair with her fingers, trying to sound casual, “Just, just happened to pass by. Let’s go to school together? I… I was not deliberately waiting for you.”
Yagi Miyuki: “…”
I have no grudges against you, why treat me like a fool?
Hoshino Seiya was clearly making things up.
Firstly, there was no such thing as a coincidental passing by. The school was in the direction of her house; if anyone was to pass by, it would be him passing by her house. Was she planning to emulate the story of ‘South-pointing Chariot’?
Also, when he stepped out of his house, Hoshino Seiya was clearly pacing back and forth at his doorstep. Claiming she wasn’t waiting for him was a blatant lie.
Yagi Miyuki was at a loss for words with his ex-girlfriend’s hopeless tsundere behavior. He could only nod and feign a belief in her story, politely smiling, “Let’s go then.”

“Okay! Um…”
Hoshino Seiya first showed a look of delight, then turned her head away, maintaining a calm tone, “Let’s, let’s go.”
Throughout the walk, Yagi Miyuki deliberately maintained a distance from Hoshino Seiya, enough for passersby to assume they were strangers.
Hoshino Seiya seemed content with this arrangement and didn’t attempt to close the distance, except for some tentative approaches.
Entering the school, the campus that was bustling like a fair the day before had returned to its usual tranquility, with all decorations removed.
The three-day school festival was over, but his precarious situation continued, a lingering effect of the selection contest.
Yagi Miyuki could feel that even though he and Hoshino Seiya maintained a distance, the students still seemed to think they came to school together and suspected they were together the previous night as well.
He was no longer bothered by these rumors and gossips; arguing against them was futile. He had already been recognized as a harem king.
Hoshino Seiya seemed indifferent to the whispers, or perhaps… she even welcomed them? At least when Yagi Miyuki looked at her, she seemed to be smiling.
Hopeless.
Yagi Miyuki silently went to his classroom. However, as soon as he and Hoshino Seiya entered, the noisy environment instantly quieted down, and various eyes scrutinized them back and forth.
Harem King… ah, no! Yagi Miyuki remained composed, walking to his seat without a word. But Sazawa Heifu, his front desk mate, stared at him with an unreadable expression.
“Congratulations, Yagi.”
He spoke in a solemn tone.
“For what?”
“Getting married to six beautiful girls at once, you’re something.”

Sazawa Heifu sneered, sounding like a martial arts master demanding a secret manual, “Hand it over, will you?”
“What thing?”
Yagi Miyuki was genuinely confused.
“Yagi-sensei!”
Sazawa Heifu stood up abruptly, bowing deeply at ninety degrees towards Yagi Miyuki, his eyes brimming with tears, “Please teach me the secret technique of starting a harem!”
Yagi Miyuki was speechless, his face lined with confusion, “If only I had such a thing…”
Saying this, Yagi Miyuki suddenly stiffened.
His words… they didn’t count as mental infidelity, did they?
Last night, in a moment of folly, he had agreed to Ninomiya-senpai’s “juicer” proposal: getting squeezed dry for cheating. The thought of starting a harem he had just now, did he need to confess?
Yagi Miyuki shivered.
Let’s forget about mental infidelity; if that counted, he might need to be “squeezed” every other day, and who could withstand that!
“No need to pretend, Yagi.”
Sazawa Heifu shook his head, speaking earnestly, “Without a secret technique, how could you get Ninomiya-senpai and the others to coexist peacefully? Yesterday, I was added to several chat groups planning to assassinate you. But if you reveal your secret, everyone will be grateful for your great kindness.”
“You’re talking about a secret technique?”
Yagi Miyuki was almost amused, shaking his head, then seriously said, “The ‘technique’ is just one line—being handsome.”
