Chapter 71.1: Brother-In-Law / Kushida's Licking Dogs / Suing

Horikita Manabu was really worried that his sister wouldn't be able to take Ying Ye Zhenshi's ambush.

That was why he would add a sentence about not taking things too far, a third warning and a fourth disclaimer.

He wanted to make things very clear.

"Well, thank you, and I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I'll be careful in how I go about doing things."

Ying Ye Zhenshi looked at the boy's cautious look and smiled, responding carefully to his worries.

Such an attentive older brother seemed to be very cute in his eyes.

And with there being such an older brother around, he knew that he couldn't just mess around with her.

Unless he was calling him, brother-in-law at some point, he would be chased and killed if he messed around with Suzune too much.

'I understand full well, brother-in-law~'

"That's good."

Horikita didn't know that Ying Ye Zhenshi was testing him in his head, so he nodded seriously.

'What a poor child. Not only does he have to lead his own class to compete against the others, but he also is also busy with the affairs of the student council, and now he even has to take care of his wilful younger sister.'

"What do you think of what I just sent you? Have you checked it out? Do you think it's possible?"

When the dessert was served, Ying Ye Zhenshi changed the subject as he didn't want to listen to Horikita talking about his sister anymore.

Ying Ye Zhenshi already knew Suzune was a cute girl and that her older brother wanted to preserve some of that innocence.

His little warnings were pretty cute, and he didn't doubt that he meant it, but Suzune and her older brother were just too cold, otherwise, he might have wanted to call Manabu his brother-in-law.

'I know that you are a sis-con already, Horikita, so don't keep emphasising your identity, bastard.'

Ying Ye felt that once the mask had been peeled off in front of others, it was very easy to speak about the matter beneath the mask.

Just like with this Horikita before him.

After Ying Ye Zhenshi had learned that he was the sis-con, Manabu made no secret of it.

The same went for Kushida Kikyo too.

Thinking about it carefully, Ying Ye realised that one of these two wanted to have his sister grow up well, while the other wanted Horikita Suzune to drop out of school.

Yet both confided in him and communicated their thoughts only to him.

This circle of relationships seemed a bit complicated.

There was also an undeniable but insignificant relationship between Horikita Suzune and Kushida Kikyo, which was also very complicated.

"About what you mentioned… It should be possible. Since it is a case of one student suing another, the student council will be dealing with it, and I have already reviewed the surveillance footage just now. His defence will indeed be a bit problematic."

Before Horikita had come here, he had exercised his authority to check through the cameras in their class.

Probably wishing to know what exactly had happened for Ying Ye to ask for something from him, he found that Sudou had wanted to hit him first, so there was no need to question Ying Ye's report.

There would be many ways to go about winning this case.

"As for kicking him directly out of his club that you mentioned over text, it depends on the basketball club. If necessary, I can help you talk about it with them."

"That's fine. Just follow up on the suing process and I will handle the basketball club myself."

Ying Ye Zhenshi looked over at Horikita and smiled when he heard that there was a possibility of having Sudou removed from the club.

"What year is the person in charge of the basketball club?"

"The president of the basketball club is in the third year, and the supervisor is also in charge of a third-year class."

Horikita spoke frankly.

"Are you sure you want to kick him out of the basketball club like this?"

"What else? Beat him up? Or ask him to pay compensation points? I don't care about all that now. What I want to do is to make the things he cherishes most disappear right in front of his eyes as a punishment for having annoyed me."

Ying Ye Zhenshi said so without hesitation.

"I see. I guess it is his bad luck to have offended you. Just submit the application normally, and I'll help you get in contact with the basketball club. After all, I am also in the third year."

Horikita shook his head but didn't stop anything.

He also knew that Ying Ye Zhenshi's personality was a bit problematic.

Having finished his chat with Ying Ye Zhenshi, that was it for the matter against Sudou.

There would most certainly be a good show tomorrow.

Tomorrow, the students would have to go through yet another shocking revelation.

As for Sudo Ken, Horikita Manabu didn't care about his plights.

If it had been a well-behaved student who was being targeted, then he might not have accepted Ying Ye Zhenshi's proposal.

But this boy, in the first place, had wanted to hit a classmate of his first and had troubled nearly everyone in his class because of his behaviour.

If such a person disappeared from the class, Manabu reckoned it could even be a good thing for Suzune.

In fact, if Horikita Suzune had the ability, Horikita Manabu wondered whether Sudo Ken could be used by her to rise to class A.

But thinking of her personality again, he shelved the thought.

The day passed, and the sun rose as usual, and there was nothing that could surprise the students further due to the haze brought on by the first of May.

Nothing had happened the previous night except for Ying Ye having had to listen to Kushida Kikyo complaining until midnight.

Ying Ye Zhenshi, who got up early in the morning the next day, was yelling at her in his head, as he had been so tormented by that woman that he almost couldn't get up the following morning.

'That woman Kushida Kikyo.'

Since something so catastrophic had happened in the class yesterday, the girl had had to absorb a lot of the negative energy from her classmates in the form of complaints too.

She had been very busy yesterday— so busy that she had run to his room after ten o'clock in the evening, and then vented, and left at almost one o'clock.

Horikita Suzune, Karuizawa Kei, and even Hirata had been scolded by her in his room.

Of course, the boys whom she insulted the most were those who regarded her as a goddess.

Sometimes, Ying Ye Zhenshi couldn't help but wonder what Kushida's licking dogs [T/N: Someone who throws away their dignity] would think if they learned of the fact that their goddess was secretly insulting them every night.

'Would they rather become even more excited? Then, they would cry and howl to be the dog of their goddess Kikyo or something.'

As soon as Ying Ye entered the class, he saw Mother Hen Hirata, who had recovered from the rising sun, communicating with Sudo Ken amiably, as if he had something very important to say.

With the efforts of Hirata and Kushida Kikyo, the other students in the class regained some of their vitality, and they didn't feel as dead as they had done the previous day.
