"Ah… I'm telling you, it was all a misunderstanding. Kushida-chan asked us to find Ying Ye to play with him. We only accidentally tore his clothes."
"That's right, we didn't know about his situation, otherwise we would have tried our best to keep it a secret. Ying Ye-san, you used to be a gang member who often fought others, right? This is a knife wound if I'm not wrong."
Ike became a little anxious when he realised the group of girls had gone on the offensive.
Looking at the scene, Yamauchi, who had remained calm, defended themselves and diverted the conversation.
Ike had already thrown out Kushida's name in the air, so after spouting some nonsense, he implicitly labelled Ying Ye Zhenshi as the bad guy for being involved in gang activity in his youth.
Sure enough, when the girls heard that Kikyo Kushida had asked the boys to make friends with Ying Ye Zhenshi, they didn't continue with their confrontational attitude.
"Is that so…?"
"But that's too much. Do you usually play like this?"
Kushida Kikyo didn't think that the blame for this should have been on her head either.
So she began inquiring.
"This? Well, of course, boys are different to girls. Think about it. Sudou plays basketball which is a very intense sport. It's just that I accidentally tore the clothes. The quality of the clothes must not be good. This is just a misunderstanding. If you don't believe me, you can ask Ying Ye-kun. We didn't fight, right? We just accidentally tore your clothes when we asked you to hang out with us, right?"
Ike replied to her question.
"..."
Kushida Kikyo looked at the boy in question, who seemed indifferent to the entire exchange.
"So it was like that? Ying Ye-kun, are you alright? How is it? Do you want to go to the infirmary? I can take you."
She looked very embarrassed.
Probably because of what Ike had said just now, they seemed to have come here because she had asked them to play with him.
Therefore, Ying Ye Zhenshi's exposure had something to do with her.
"It's okay. There's no need. You don't have to worry about it. Nothing much happened just now."
Ying Ye Zhenshi noticed that they had finally finished their quarrel before he parted his lips.
Just now, he was actually a little confused about what these guys were planning to do, so he had been thinking all this while.
If they had really wanted to do something bad, he would have resisted and given them a hard time.
Earlier though, they had approached with a good attitude, and then…
'Uh, it was more like they wanted to take off my clothes. Not my pants, just my top, as if the entire thing was planned. Aren't these guys too horny? Have I encountered perverts? Are they gay?'
So, when he looked at these people now, the look in his eyes was a little strange.
He speculated about their purpose for undressing him.
Sure enough, he would never be able to figure out what went on in the brains of these weirdos.
"Look, did you hear what he just said?"
Ike took the opportunity to interject.
"Really? Whatever happened just now, you can say it, Ying Ye-kun. If they have bullied you, we will..."
But Kushida Kikyo obviously had no intention of letting the matter go like that.
"We can discuss that part later."
"Ah..."
She also blocked Ike and the others from trying to weasel their way out of the situation, making them squirm inside and look miserable.
"I don't know either. Maybe because they hadn't been able to find a girlfriend, they were feeling pent-up? They took off my clothes as soon as they came up to me. I don't know if that's how they usually play. Maybe it's because they feel that they can't go out with the girls, that they now won't even let the good-looking boys go? By the way, my swimsuit cost 4000 points, so remember to pay me."
Ying Ye Zhenshi scratched an itch on his neck and spoke indifferently.
He didn't feel at all distressed because his scars were exposed.
He just asked for money bluntly while making a mockery of their sexuality.
This way, the look in the girl's eyes became very strange.
'They need to tear off his clothes to play?'
If it was a fujoshi [TN: Woman who enjoys fictional gay content], she would look at the boys with excitement right about now.
Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki wanted to explain several times while he was speaking, but they decidedly gave up.
Anyway, their purpose had been achieved.
"I'll pay you, I'll pay you. But only next month, since we..."
Ike wanted to wait for the 100,000 points to roll in next month.
Giving away a mere four thousand points would be nothing at that time.
"Not next month. I still need to buy something for my room, so give it now."
Ying Ye Zhenshi straightforwardly refused.
They wouldn't even receive a fart next month, let alone points.
Even if they didn't have it, he would definitely not let them go.
"You…!"
Ike Kuanji became upset, but seeing Kushida Kikyo's gaze, he had to give in since he wasn't alone.
In the end, he had borrowed points from Ayanokōji Kiyotaka.
The matter had been drawn up by the reticent boy, so the compensation would naturally come from him.
"Remember to transfer the money. I'll return the towel after I wash it. Alright then, I'll be going first. Although national laws do not support boys being together, I wish you guys a happy life."
Ying Ye Zhenshi took one last look at his condition, before making another mockery of their sexuality.
After leaving them a sentence, he finally bid farewell to the girls and gay boys.
"Don't worry about it."
Kushida Kikyo responded that he should not worry about returning her stuff washed as it was only a towel.
"Well, let's go then."
She turned her head with an unfriendly expression on her face, making Ike feel very uncomfortable seeing the look.
'Kushida-chan, you have been lied to! Why don't you believe us? That guy is bad!'
Ike Kanji went further and further down his path of becoming a knight.
It was a pity that princesses generally belonged not to knights, but to princes.
The knight could only stand guard outside the bedroom door.
