[176] Encounter at the School Gate!
*Ring*
The sound of the alarm clock rang, and August opened his eyes groggily.
The weekend had come to an end, and it was time to go to school again today.
The reason for setting the alarm clock was that August had stayed up late again yesterday. Today, Hilda might find it challenging to go to school after the intense activities of the previous night. To avoid being late, August set an alarm.
Looking at Hilda still sleeping soundly beside him, August felt a pang of pity.
Hilda was great in every aspect, except that she cared too much about August, neglecting her own well-being every time.
August, caught up in the excitement, couldn't hold back, leading to her repeated episodes of 'overexertion.' Once or twice was fine, but with the frequency increasing, August began to feel a bit embarrassed.
Last night, August even considered whether he should summon a few maids from the inner world and have some fun.
However, having seen plenty of maids, August's taste had become quite picky. He wasn't particularly interested in them.
"My Lord, I…"
"Alright, today, just rest at home. I got a bit carried away yesterday."
"It's my failure to serve My Lord properly."
"Just rest."
Without letting Hilda continue, August couldn't help but protect a woman who was entirely devoted to him.
After freshening up and preparing some breakfast for Hilda, August headed out.
These two weekend days were spent on drawing manga and not much else, mainly engaging in 'communication' with Hilda. After injuring Hilda repeatedly, August started thinking about finding another woman.
August's first choice was Tsubaki Shinra, the girl with long black hair and glasses.
Thinking about the five sets of prepared clothes at home, August felt a bit restless. Today, he would summon her again and have her try them on.
"Ah! Look, it's Prince August."
"He's so my type."
"We finally see August-sama again. I couldn't even eat properly for the past two days."
"My life is colorful again."
...
As soon as he arrived at the school gate, the surrounding female students let out screams.
For the first time, August felt that his attractiveness to women was a bit troublesome. Although it was useful when picking up girls, it became a problem in ordinary situations.
"Pervert-senpai~"
At this moment, Koneko's voice sounded from the side.
August instinctively looked over and saw Koneko wearing the Juman Academy uniform, looking even cuter.
"Isn't this the adorable Koneko? Long time no see, I've missed you so much."
"Don't be so familiar, pervert-senpai. We just met yesterday."
Speaking of yesterday, Koneko's face became a bit sulky.
She was actually defeated in the game, and it was three rounds to two. Every time she was beaten three in a row. This made her extremely concerned, wanting to take revenge.
Especially since August gave her all the game coins in the end, which she interpreted as disdain and contempt.
This made her even more determined. In other aspects, she didn't care, but in terms of gaming, she absolutely wouldn't admit defeat and wouldn't accept charity.
She didn't touch any of those game coins, collecting them all, ready to return them to August at the right time.
"Well, Koneko, we can consider ourselves friends now. Can you stop slandering people?"
"I'm not slandering you, you're a pervert."
"Look, aren't you a pervert too? Whether you believe it or not, with just a snap of my fingers, there will be plenty of womens falling into my arms."
"I believe it, but you're still a pervert."
"You're such a stubborn little cat~"
Saying that, a big hand directly fell on Koneko's head, constantly messing with her white short hair.
But at this moment, Koneko didn't care about that anymore. Her gaze was fixed on August because his phrase 'little cat' made her freeze in place.
"Feels so good, Koneko, patting your head is just like stroking a cat."
"Let go of me, pervert-senpai."
Hearing August say this, Koneko breathed a sigh of relief, and then her tone became incredibly calm.
"This is the senpai's affection for you, Koneko-san."
"This is sexual harassment."
"Where did you learn that word?"
"Nowhere~"
Koneko turned her head, but in her mind, the image of a figure with a ponytail appeared.
But August didn't go too far. He teased her for a while, then let go of Koneko.
Relieved, Koneko was afraid that August wouldn't stop.
"Are you bullying your kouhai early in the morning?"
Another voice sounded, and both August and Koneko looked over.
It turned out to be Sona and Tsubaki walking in from the school gate. At the gate, a special car had just left.
"I missed you so much, Sona, Tsubaki, you look even more beautiful after two days."
This sentence from August made both women pause for a moment, their faces slightly blushing.
"Silver-tongued."
"A sincere statement."
Seeing how familiar August was with Sona, Koneko was stunned.
It was at this moment that Koneko's eyes and Tsubaki met.
The gazes of the two conveyed the same message, that they were surprised that August knew each other.
"President Sona, Vice President Tsubaki."
"Hi, Koneko."
"Koneko."
The three greeted each other, and since Sona and Rias had been childhood friends, they were both mutual competitors and friends.
So the acquaintances of each other's significant others were natural. Of course, it was just an acquaintance.
"What about Hilda?"
"Resting at home, not feeling well today."
"Not feeling well again?"
For a moment, the gazes of Sona and Tsubaki towards August became somewhat strange.
August had just started attending school for a few days, and Hilda even less, but in this short period, Hilda had been unwell twice.
"Are you..."
After all, Sona was the princess of the Sitri family, naturally understanding the duties of a maid.
In addition to taking care of the daily life of the master, most maids had a deeper relationship with their masters. This was also part of their training.
Seeing the increasingly strange expressions in Sona's eyes, August also blushed a little.
This solved the mystery.
Seeing August being so familiar with Sona, Koneko suddenly had a bad premonition.
After all, her president also had a keen interest in August. If she knew about it in advance, it would be troublesome.
"President Sona, Vice President Tsubaki, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, she left. She had to report to her president
