Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Louisa Hates Men
So at this moment, Louisa absolutely wouldn't let Hikari leave.
Otherwise, in her view, she would have almost no chance to stop this special-appointed psychological counselor matter.
Thus, Louisa decided that no matter what, she couldn't let Hikari leave this place.
Although she had made up her mind, Louisa could clearly see that reality didn't favor her wishes.
The Hikari she was trying her best to keep at this moment looked like he couldn't care less about her and was ready to leave at any time.
Although Hikari didn't say anything, Louisa could roughly guess that he would only give her a few words worth of opportunity.
If her next response didn't satisfy Hikari, he would leave, and she absolutely couldn't stop him.
After all, if even five bodyguards couldn't stop Hikari, what could she, a noble young lady with no physical strength to even bind a chicken, do? What a joke.
After thinking for half a minute, Louisa slightly lowered her head and sincerely apologized to Hikari for the first time: "Um, Hikari-kun, I know what I did earlier was excessive. I apologize. I'm sorry!"
"But actually, I came today because I wanted to request psychological counseling from you."
"Especially just now, when you went one against five—it was so impressive."
"I... kind of started to like you."
Hearing Louisa's words, Hikari didn't show any hint of pride.
He just smiled politely and asked with a chuckle, "And then?"
Hearing that even after her apology and compliments, Hikari still didn't show any intention of staying, Louisa realized that he thought her offer wasn't enough.
Her pink lips bit down tightly on her pearly teeth, her delicate, mixed-race face flushed slightly, and she stammered:"Then… I… let's go now…"
"I... I need your psychological counseling, Hikari-kun."
"Please… I beg you!"
As she spoke, Louisa seemed to want to prove her sincerity and actually leaned her body against Hikari, even taking the initiative to wrap her arms around his.
Of course, Hikari understood Louisa's little scheme.
The so-called "going together for psychological counseling" was just a delaying tactic to stop him from leaving.
But since this self-proclaimed superior and domineering noble young lady wanted to play, he decided to play along.
Turning to look at Louisa, who clung to his arm, her eyes carrying slight disdain while her expression pretended to look forward to what would happen next, Hikari smiled faintly.
He suddenly raised the hand that Louisa was holding without a sound and...
"Ahhn!"
Louisa, who had never been treated like this before, couldn't help but let out a soft sound.
Her face turned bright red as she looked at Hikari angrily.
Hikari smiled and said, "This is just a small interest for trying to scheme against me earlier. What, do you have an issue with it? Can't handle even this?"
Seeing Hikari's half-smiling expression, Louisa suppressed her anger and forced a slight smile:"No, I… I can handle it~."
"Ahhn!"
Just as Louisa finished speaking, she found herself being… once again groped by Hikari without hesitation.
This time, Louisa learned her lesson and said nothing.
Instead, taking advantage of the unfamiliar sensation, she cast a flirtatious glance at Hikari, her eyes filled with feigned affection.
Hikari couldn't help but admire how skilled Louisa was at acting.
Even though he knew she was faking it, her cooperation made it hard for him to continue teasing her.
Hikari lightly raised his hand, gently caressing her smooth, fair, collagen-filled, beautiful face as her body trembled slightly.
"Alright, let's go. To the hotel."
Hearing Hikari's words, Louisa, who believed she had sacrificed so much, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
———
Arriving at the top-tier luxury hotel he had visited with Tomoe before, Hikari expertly booked a room.
He grabbed Louisa's hand and led her, who kept her head lowered as if embarrassed to appear in such a place, into the luxurious suite he had reserved.
Due to the heat and the earlier fight with the bodyguards, Hikari was covered in sweat.
So after casually greeting Louisa, he went into the bathroom to take a shower.
When Hikari emerged wrapped in a towel, his figure remained tall and well-built.
Seeing Hikari's slightly damp black hair, refined features more exquisite than hers, and his impossibly handsome face paired with his sharply defined muscles, Louisa was momentarily stunned.
As a student of Seika Private Girl's Academy, Louisa was no different from Tomoe and the other girls in certain aspects.
Her aversion to men stemmed from the psychological trauma caused by her father's infidelity and abandonment, but her body and hormones functioned perfectly normally.
Thus, faced with Hikari, a high-quality male, her delicate throat involuntarily rolled as she swallowed a gulp of saliva.
GULP!
Though not particularly loud, the sound of her swallowing was striking in the otherwise silent luxury suite with its excellent soundproofing.
In an instant, Louisa's pretty face turned bright red. Hikari's gaze fixed on her blushing face, which extended down to her neck.
Watching Louisa, who initially stared at him directly but now, out of shyness, looked away while sneaking glances at him, Hikari chuckled.
"Miss Louisa, didn't you say you wanted psychological counseling? Go take a shower."
Louisa shook her head and replied, "I don't want to."
Hikari frowned and looked at her disdainfully:"Well, let me be clear. If you don't shower, I won't use certain methods of psychological counseling on you. If the results are subpar, it'll be your problem. Don't blame me, understood?"
Hearing Hikari's words, Louisa's face flushed even deeper.
"What… what nonsense are you talking about? Stop it!"
"I… I hate men!"
"I… I don't want your psychological counseling anymore."
The earlier glimpse of Hikari's physique had shaken Louisa's composure, and she dared not feign interest any longer.
Afraid she might lose control and turn the act into reality, she decided to back down.
But hearing her abrupt change of attitude, Hikari's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of chilling sharpness flashing in them.
"Suddenly changing your mind, how many times is this now? Miss Louisa, does this mean everything you said before was just a game to you?"
Hikari's cold tone and indifferent expression sent shivers down Louisa's spine, filling her with an inexplicable fear.
She could tell Hikari wasn't the type to never hit women. If she failed to give a satisfactory explanation, he would undoubtedly make her pay the price for toying with him.
Louisa quickly said, "No, no! I wasn't playing with you."
"Hikari-kun, I just… wanted to discuss if there might be other ways to resolve this."
Hearing this, Hikari relaxed slightly, sitting down on the bed:"I'll give you five minutes. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, I'll find a way to recover all my losses—from you."
Realizing his unvarnished threat, Louisa panicked.
After making a few urgent calls, she finally got someone to arrive with a large suitcase.
Louisa took the suitcase, closed the door, and quickly walked back into the room.
Struggling to lift the heavy suitcase from the floor onto the table, Louisa looked at Hikari and said, "Hikari-kun, look over here!"
Holding the heavy, money-filled suitcase, Louisa's eyes regained her confidence as she looked at Hikari.
Even now, Louisa firmly believed that men were ugly and foolish creatures, interested only in money and women, all of them trash.
The academy head, Rikka Sumeragi, didn't share this belief, which led to the creation of the absurd special appointment psychology teacher system. But Louisa was determined to prove her point to Principal Rikka and have the so-called special appointment psychology teacher system abolished.
Placing the suitcase on the table, Louisa quickly unlocked the combination lock and slowly opened the suitcase.
A golden light symbolizing wealth seemed to spill out of the case. Hikari looked up and saw that the entire suitcase was packed full of cash.
This large suitcase was entirely filled with money.
Seeing Hikari's gaze fixed on the suitcase, Louisa confidently smiled and said to him, "Hikari-kun, you seem very interested in making money, right?"
"Five million! This suitcase contains a full five million yen."
"All you have to do is call Principal Rikka and resign right now. Just one sentence, and this five million yen will be yours." Louisa placed her hands on her hips, brimming with confidence as she looked at Hikari, convinced he couldn't possibly reject this offer.
Seeing Louisa's overly confident expression, Hikari frowned slightly at first, then couldn't help but laugh.
Suddenly recalling a certain meme from his previous life, he couldn't help but mentally comment, "So, I've reached the level of a high-quality man? A single sentence, and a woman is ready to spend five million on me? Ridiculous!"
Seeing the smile on Hikari's face, Louisa's confidence only grew.
In her mind, a money-driven man like Hikari would never let go of such a large sum. He was bound to agree.
Just as Louisa was thinking this, Hikari spoke, and what he said seemed to confirm her thoughts.
Hikari asked, "Is it true that I can get five million yen by just saying one sentence?"
Louisa, looking at him as if he were a naïve child, grinned and said, "I swear on the Richter family name, as long as you call Principal Rikka and say you want to resign, I'll immediately give you these five million yen. Go ahead, call now."
Hikari shook his head while smiling and said, marveling, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Just one simple sentence for five million yen. It's really tempting…"
Louisa: "Right? It's hard to refuse, isn't it…"
"But, I refuse!" Hikari suddenly said with firm conviction.
Louisa, interrupted and not comprehending at first, stammered, "So you're saying you'll call Principal Rikka and say… What? You said you refuse?"
"Are you crazy? This is five million yen! Just one sentence, and it's all yours. Are you sure you want to refuse?"
Louisa looked at Hikari as if he were insane, completely unable to understand him.
Hikari just smiled faintly, wagging his finger at her, and said, "One of my favorite things to do, is to say no to those who think they're all that, to reject them!"
Louisa couldn't help but ask, "Why? Aren't you working this job to earn money? I'm offering you money right now, so why won't you resign?"
