“What do you think you’re doing here?” her expression turned incredibly cold and she turned her head.

“Oh, you two know each other?” Toma’s eyes widened.

“Yes, she and I are very close,” I said, whispering in Toma’s ears while touching her shoulders.

Touching her so closely caused Toma to shudder involuntarily. Kira’s eyes flashed angrily, and her hand fell on Toma’s thigh and moved close to her, reaching out and touching her chin.

“Don’t be jealous, my sweet, naturally, he and I are a thing of the past.” She purred in a sensual voice I’d never heard from Kira before.

“Oh…” Toma barely seemed to hear the words, her eyes swimming as her borders were pushed by the impulsive woman.

“It turns out,” I grabbed Toma, and spun her around so she was facing me. “That she’s not the romantic type. Of course, you’re the kind of woman who wants to wake up in the arms of someone you love, right?”

“L-love?” Her eyes went wide.

“Don’t listen to him!” Kira pushed her chest against Toma’s back, causing the girl to gasp.

“She’s a womanizer!” I said, moving closer so my legs were practically wrapped around Toma and our lips were only centimeters apart. “However, I can do things with you… that she lacks the equipment for!”

“At least I know how her equipment works!” Kira snapped looking over at her and glaring at me.

“At least I bring something new to the table!” I shot back, Kira and I were glaring at each other with Toma shoved in between.

“Eeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaa…” A weird noise came from between our bodies.

“Oh, crap,” I said as I pulled back. “She fainted.”

Toma’s eyes had rolled up in her head. The stimulation of two attractive people had been too much for her. That was when I realized that Kira truly did look more attractive. Although she essentially looked like she had always looked, there were distinct differences. Her skin had cleaned up to perfect, and she now looked smooth and unblemished. Her eyes and hair appeared more vibrant. Simply put, Kira was a knock out beauty. She also wasn’t wearing her glasses right now. For the first time in a while, I got a good look at her face.

“This is your fault!” Kira said angrily. “What are you doing all the way out here! And you’re hitting on one of my girls!”

“One of? What the hell happened! You’re the one who suddenly left!” I yelled back. “Now you’re a lesbian player. What happened to my Kira?”

“I’m not Kira!’ She growled. “She already introduced me. I’m Rose. Roooose!”

“Changing your name doesn’t change who you are!” I said.

She let out an exasperated noise. “Whatever, look. As you can see, I’m a player now. So, please, stay out of my way, okay?”

“A player? For Netorase?” I demanded.

She jerked for a second, and then turned away, her cold demeanor returning “Yeah, something like that.”

“If you understand the game, then you know that I need to win this and why. Whatever you want, I’m going to win the game. And if I’m going to win, then naturally, I have to make you mine! I’ll have Netorase too!”

She seemed to shake visibly for a second as if there was a rage deep inside her she was trying to contain. After a moment, she took an unsteady breath.

“Even if you plan to win, it won’t be today. I have things I need to do. We have things we need to do, or everything is for naught. Can you just go back to your home? Have fun with your mom or something.”

I froze for a second. Did everyone know about Mother? My sister even seemed aware of what we had done before I had to leave. After a moment before realizing Kira was waiting for an answer, I shook my head.

“I can’t go home now. Even if I wanted to, I need a few weeks for things to sort out.” I looked up at her, and it was the first time I realized she was wearing a uniform identical to the one that the unconscious Toma had on.

“Why are you out here?’ She asked suspiciously, her eyes narrowed.

I glanced helplessly down to Toma who was still unconscious in my arms. “She was leading me to campus before we got some food. I came in a week early for various reasons, but I came for the experimental Feminist Coed curriculum the school is trying over the next few months. I wasn’t here for you. I didn’t even know where you were. Your mother is worried.”

Her face fell as a shocked expression grew on it. “You… you’re transferring here today?”

I nodded. “Mm… They cleared out a room for me, supposedly, but it’s just temporary until the boys arrive, I guess.”

“You-you’re part of the coed curriculum?” She sounded somewhat panicked.

I glanced up at her with a raised eyebrow. “As I said, had I known it was your turf… well… I probably would have come all the same if I’m being honest. You’re just going to have to deal with me, whether you like it or not. If you think you can seduce the girls at that academy for points, then you need to wait to see what I can do!”

“You…” She shook her head. “I need to go. This is a mistake. I have to fix it immediately!”

“Huh? Where are you going?” I called out as Kira suddenly stood up, turned, and quickly sprinted to the door.  “Kira!”

“It’s Rose!” She said, slamming the door closed behind her without even looking back.

“I don’t even know where the school is…” I muttered to myself.
