The sudden voice drew everyone's attention.

"Make way! Make way! Make way!"

A petite but unusually curvaceous girl was seen energetically pushing through the crowd, heading in their direction.

"Li Li!"

There was only one person who would call Fang Li by that nickname.

Her waist-length golden hair was styled with two small side bundles. Her height was comparable to Aria's, but her figure was second only to Shirayuki's.

She wore a Butei High uniform that had been altered into a fluffy, cute princess dress, which made her quite noticeable.

"Riko..."

Yes.

This was none other than Riko Mine Lupin IV, the great-granddaughter of France's legendary Phantom Thief Lupin, a former active member of I-U and a Butei assassin.

"BOOM!"

At that moment, Riko seemed to return to her old school self, adding her own sound effects as she leaped toward Fang Li.

Fang Li was startled and he wanted to dodge, but with Aria on the left, Shirayuki on the right, and Reki in front, there was no escape. Trying to retreat wouldn't help either, and so he hesitated.

As a result, Fang Li was caught in Riko's embrace.

"Puyo!"

The sound of something exceptionally soft pressing against Fang Li's chest echoed in the surroundings.

"Wha— wha— what… what the…!"

Aria's charming face turned crimson again as she cried out, almost getting short-circuited from the shock.

"Th-thieving cat number three... number one... number two... now number three..."

Shirayuki's mouth twitched as if she had just taken a major hit. Her body swayed unsteadily, and even her grip on her katana wavered.

Only Reki remained expressionless, as usual.

Even the surrounding students were too stunned to speak, with their jaws practically hitting the floor in disbelief.

Riko, however, acted as though she hadn't noticed anything, clinging to Fang Li like an adorable kitten, and rubbing her cheek against his chest.

"The feel of Li Li, the scent of Li Li, there's no mistake— this is Li Li. Riko's beloved has finally returned. What should I do? I'm so happy..."

Shouldn't it be the guy who's happy in this situation?

As Riko continued to rub herself against Fang Li's chest, her soft, ample bosom pressing against him and moving with each motion, the surrounding male students' gazes almost caught fire.

It was the fire of envy directed at Fang Li.

Even Aria's mouth opened and closed like a goldfish, her face steaming as if she were a boiling kettle.

Meanwhile, Shirayuki clutched her chest with each rub Riko made, as though she were being shot through the heart and her complexion turned pale.

In the midst of all this, Fang Li became unexpectedly calm.

"Riko." Fang Li frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Three months ago, after the Butei assassin incident, Riko had been sent to prison— at least, that's what should have happened.

"Hehe." Riko raised her head and gave Fang Li a seductive smile, playfully tapping his lips with her finger.

"Take a guess, Li Li. If you get it right, I'll give you a 'chu'!"

Hearing this, Fang Li didn't waver at all and immediately gave the answer.

"It was a plea deal, wasn't it?"

A plea deal.

That's a legal system that is very popular in the U.S. and is now gradually being adopted in other countries.

This system primarily targets criminals.

As long as the criminal requests a plea deal from the government and agrees to assist the police in investigations or expose accomplices, they can reduce their sentence or even have their charges completely dropped.

This is known as a plea deal.

Naturally, this kind of legal system can lead to various complications. However, for countries struggling to keep up with rising crime rates, it's an unavoidable solution.

This country has also adopted such a system.

Since Riko could appear here so nonchalantly, it proved that **this young girl** had secured her release through a plea deal, gaining her freedom.

"Correct! Because Riko provided intel that helped Li Li dismantle I-U! So, it was a major contribution, and I was able to gain my release!"

Riko laughed happily.

"Since Li Li got it right, let Riko give you a 'Chu'!"

As she said this, Riko closed her eyes and, like a girl offering a kiss, leaned toward Fang Li with her lips puckered.

"W-W-Wa!"

Aria was in full panic mode.

"…"

Reki continued to observe calmly.

"Heavenly Punishment!"

Shirayuki finally snapped, and with a katana that fell like a bolt of lightning, she aimed a deadly strike at Riko's head.

"Clink!"

In the next moment, a strange sound rang out, and Shirayuki's descending katana froze midair.

It had been caught by thin strings.

The other end of the strings was in Riko's hand.

Holding the strings, Riko opened her eyes, her innocent smile transforming into one filled with fighting spirit.

"I mean, seriously, is it polite to interrupt when someone's about to kiss?" Riko said with a leisurely smile. "This is Riko's route right now. Can the other heroines from different routes please not interfere?"

Shirayuki, however, wasn't listening as she glared at Riko and shouted loudly.

"I won't let thieving cat number three steal Li Sama's first kiss! I haven't even done that yet!"

No, actually, that "first kiss" is long gone…

Sensing that mentioning this might get him cut down, Fang Li wisely kept his mouth shut.

Riko, on the other hand, seemed to get even more excited.

"What the heck? Then we're all on equal footing, aren't we?"

Saying this, Riko hopped off Fang Li and went over to Reki.

"Hey, Rekyu," Riko said with a teasing smile, "How about teaming up with me?"

Reki immediately looked up and focused on her.

"Let's team up and take down Aria and Shirayuki, what do you think? Once we beat them, you can be the official wife, and I'll just be the lover. Sound good?"

"Wha...?!" Shirayuki was stunned.

What was even more shocking was that Reki actually seriously considered the proposal, then finally nodded.

Now Shirayuki was really panicking.

"No… no choice!" Shirayuki dragged the still-dazed Aria to her side and, reluctantly, said to her, "Aria, let's call a truce for now and take down thieving cat number two and thieving cat number three. After that, I'll be the wife, and you can be the concubine!"

"Huh?" Aria, who had just started to comprehend the situation, was once again dumbfounded.

"Great! Great!" Riko shouted, eager to stir up more chaos. "Let's draw the battle lines!"

"We won't lose," Reki said softly. "I will make sure Fang Li becomes my husband."

"Hehe," Shirayuki's smile was icy as she clung to the stunned Aria, looking like she was on the verge of rampaging.

The four girls split into two groups, facing off against each other.

The situation had taken a bizarre and unfathomable turn.

As students around them began to spread the news, Fang Li covered his face.

"Forget it, I'm not dealing with this shit anymore. Do whatever you want."
