Sekirei Girls' Academy (Part 2)

"Is a family member looking for her?"

After listening, Endo immediately nodded.

"No problem."

"I'll leave now."

"It's getting late, I have to go to the charity gala."

With a forced smile, Endo immediately turned and fled.

After the figure disappeared into the distance, the girl bowed slightly and expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you, Mister Scribe."

"Thank you for helping me out of that predicament."

"I am Kanae Kocho, nice to meet you."

The Scribe nodded and said with a smile.

"Kanae Kocho? What a nice name."

"It looks like you two will become good friends."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shinobu quickly stepped forward and hugged Kanae Kocho tightly.

"This..."

Kanae Kocho was a little stunned by the sudden hug.

He said it subconsciously.

"Who are you?"

"I am..."

Shinobu Butterfly wanted to say something.

But in the end, the words he wanted to say remained unspoken.

"Never mind, just pretend I was a little agitated just now."

Kanae Kocho nodded.

"All right."

"I have one more request, and I hope you can grant it."

"What request?"

"May I call you 'sister'?"

Upon hearing this, Kanae Kocho couldn't help but glance at the girl in front of her.

A face that somewhat resembles mine.

She seemed to be a bit younger than me.

"It should be fine, right?"

With that thought in mind, Kanae Kocho nodded.

After hearing this, Ren's face immediately lit up with a smile.

"I like you the most, sister."

Looking at Shinobu embracing Kanae Kocho again, Scribe said helplessly.

"Alright, it's almost time."

"We should also go to the charity gala."

"Kanae Kocho, come with us."

Upon hearing this, Kanae Kocho quickly refused.

"No, no, I'm just a student."

"I'll be working as a waiter tonight."

"I can't be with you."

Ren then grabbed her arm.

"It's alright, Mister Scribe will handle it."

Tamayo also said.

"Just agree."

"This little thing won't have any impact on the Scribe."

Kanae Kocho had no choice but to agree.

Next, the Scribe and the others led Kanae Kocho to the charity gala venue.

Various delicious foods were laid out on the tables on both sides.

There are also glittering gold lamps as decorations around it.

Kanae Kocho gasped in surprise after just one glance.

"So beautiful."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Endo's voice rang out.

How did you end up here?

"This is not a place for you."

"Go and bring these things over right away!"

At this moment, the Scribe slapped Endo on the shoulder again.

"Listen to me, Endo, if your charity work tonight doesn't satisfy me..."

"The outcome probably won't be good."

You know what I mean.

A bead of cold sweat slid down Endo's forehead.

"I see."

"That's good, go ahead."

A smile returned to his face, and Scribe gently patted him.

"Principal Takahashi will be presiding over the meeting soon."

"Don't let me down."

Endo nodded quickly.

They slunk away to another place.

Not long after, Takahashi reappeared.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure to have you all here for this dinner."

"All proceeds from this banquet will be used for the construction and expenses of the academy."

"I hope you all have a pleasant evening."

After saying that, Takahashi clapped his hands.

The two women then pushed the handcart.

There seemed to be something on the handcart, which was being covered with a red cloth.

When Takahashi removed the object under the red cloth, a painting was revealed.

"The first item up for auction, starting price: three million!"

"Each price increase must be no less than 100,000."

Kanae Kocho looked puzzled.

He looked at the Scribe.

The Scribe then explained.

"Wealthy businessmen are also human. They will inevitably feel uncomfortable if they donate money for no reason."

"Therefore, we adopted the form of auction to carry out alternative charity."

"Of course, the price will be relatively high."

Kanae Kocho then understood.

At that moment, Takahashi began to bid.

"Three million, is anyone willing to pay three million?"

"I!"

A charming woman raised her hand.

"Alright, Madam Al has made one bid. Anything else? Two more bids..."

The Scribe turned his head and looked at Endo in the corner.

Endo trembled as he felt the Scribe's gaze.

"Me! I'll offer three to five hundred thousand!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Endo! Are there any further bids?"

Takahashi raised his bid again.

The woman named Yar frowned slightly upon seeing this.

"Why is a bald, fat man arguing with me about a work of art?"

"Country bumpkin."

After muttering a few words, Yar called out again.

Four million.

"Four million once, four million..."

"Four and a half million."

Endo raised the price once again.

Yar's expression turned even more grim.

So they continued to raise the price.

The price has been raised to five million.

Endo wanted to give up.

But the Scribe's gaze remained fixed on him.

That piercing, icy chill ran down my spine.

Endo's body trembled uncontrollably.

Ultimately, he acquired the painting for seven million.

"Congratulations, Mr. Endo. Thank you for your contributions to the Sekiryuu Girls' Academy."

A happy smile appeared on Takahashi's face.

Before each item was auctioned, she had it appraised.

The final price of this painting will be at most between four and five million.

The fact that it can now sell for seven million has far exceeded our initial expectations.

"I made a profit."
