What's Wrong with Adding Me When There Are So Many Geniuses in Omni-Anime?
"That's just strange to people who don't know me. In reality, I've been disappointed countless times."
He patted his cheeks, composed himself, and his eyes became indifferent.
"Let's continue our previous topic. Although I know you're trying to hurt True Wei, why now? And why choose this method?"
"Will you agree if I tell you?"
"That depends on the situation."
"Ha~"
Koto Satsuki sighed, as if she knew it wouldn't be that simple, then after a moment's hesitation, she parted her lips slightly and said, "It all started when she was being unreasonable last time..."
"Later, she came to my room on her own and told me... and then... in the end..."
That's it.
Koto Satsuki explained the cause, process, and result in detail, trying her best to set aside her own subjective feelings, or rather, she made no attempt to hide her displeasure, so she did not notice the change in his expression.
"But that idiot probably doesn't think he did anything wrong at all. Even so, unless that woman takes revenge, I won't be satisfied! Being passively bullied all the time isn't my style!"
"... Are you listening?"
Finally, she noticed Sakurakoji Talent was frozen in place, somewhat petrified, and her delicate brows furrowed.
I'm being so serious, and you're just spacing out?
Startled by her words, he slowly raised his head, numb and shocked, his face filled with disbelief. "... You, you mean, she even... told you about that?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Koto Satsuki was puzzled.
"Ouka Mai!!!"
He sat up abruptly, letting out a grief-stricken roar.
Ouka Mai! What have you done?!
You can tell her such private things?!
Even if you don't care about saving face, what about me?!
You two are truly best friends who can talk about anything!!!
Sakurakoji Talent felt like he was the guy in the video whose partner showed his intimate video to his best friend! He instantly lost face and was extremely embarrassed!
Of course, it's not that serious. Which girl doesn't secretly discuss those kinds of things with her friends? But... it's a matter of feelings!
Especially when Koto Satsuki, that cold, wooden person, openly talks about such things in front of him!
"I understand... What do you want to do?"
After the heat subsided slightly, the veins on his forehead throbbed, and his blood and energy made his naturally fair complexion rosy. He stared at her through gritted teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes.
That's good. Whether it's Ouka Mai, who talks to himself and does his own thing, or Koto Satsuki, who wants to use him to complete her revenge, I think you two are both in need of discipline!
A thought flashed through his mind, and he decided to go with the flow and let the two of them reap what they sowed!
"Although I hate to admit it, what that guy said makes sense."
Koto Satsuki, who was adept at reading people's expressions, didn't notice his Kokoro and began to explain the plan she had previously devised.
"If you two really do get together, and I continue to work hard step by step, it will indeed be very difficult to find a partner who is better than you."
Sakurakoji Talent nodded her chin, signaling her to continue.
"Fortunately, you haven't accepted her confession yet, and you're still the only person she likes..."
Koto Satsuki's lips unconsciously curled up, her eyelids lowered, and the upper half of her face was filled with a dark, calculating glint.
"As long as you can maintain a close relationship with her in front of her, or just tell her directly that we're dating—I can already picture the look of despair on her face!"
Her usual aloof, fairy-like appearance was now filled with a distorted smile, making her look like a witch plotting to murder Princess.
"So, date me for a month! I think a month should be enough to make that woman regret it to death, then we can break up."
"I can use this to achieve my goal of defeating her and making her kneel before me in despair, while you can temporarily get rid of her entanglement. It's a pretty good win-win situation, right?"
She was well aware of his headache caused by Ouka Mai's "enthusiasm," so she planned to start from that angle.
Knowing she had no reward to offer him, Koto Satsuki lowered her head and pleaded, "That idiot has never taken me seriously! But I finally found her weakness, so... please help me, I beg you!"
"I understand, I promise you."
"If you think a month is too long, two weeks is fine too... eh?"
She jerked her head up in astonishment, unable to believe his decisiveness, wondering if she had misheard.
"What you just did..."
"I said I agree. Please take good care of me for the next month, Satsuki!"
He rested his elbows on his knees, a calculating smile on his face.
"Oh, oh, nice to meet you."
It was the outcome she had hoped for, but for some reason, Koto Satsuki felt a strange, unsettling premonition, neither good nor bad.
"Uh, uh, well, starting tomorrow, I'll start dating you for a month, okay?"
"Ah, there's one more condition!"
Sakurakoji Talent.
"Um?"
Koto Satsuki turned her head and frowned, as if she knew he wouldn't agree so easily.
"Our romantic relationship is limited to when True Wei and Reiko are present, and when we are alone together. When there are other people around, we will continue with our previous relationship, is that alright?"
He tried his best to remain calm, shrugging. "You know, my personal and family situation is rather complicated..."
Koto Satsuki, who had expected him to make some difficult demands, relaxed her body upon hearing this and agreed without hesitation, "Yes, I know, then so be it."
In any case, her goal was simply to provoke and defeat Ouka Mai; what others thought was irrelevant.
Rather, she was more inclined to ask him for a favor.
If she didn't do this, she could foresee how she would embarrass herself and get caught in the teasing and curious stares of Aoyama- senpai and the other seniors in the apartment. It would be such a hassle.
"By the way, do you have time later? Could you come with me somewhere?"
"It's so late already?"
He turned his head and glanced at the twinkling lights outside the French windows.
Time may no longer be about the romantic beauty of sunset, but for people in big cities, perhaps a more romantic and exciting nightlife is just beginning.
"Then tomorrow after school or on the weekend is fine, whichever is more convenient for you."
Koto Satsuki picked up her teacup and took small sips.
Although it was already cooled, the expensive and rich aroma and the full-bodied and smooth taste made her decide to drink it all.
Especially now that her goal has been achieved, she feels an exhilarating pleasure, as if she were savoring a divine wine.
Of course, even without any filters, compared to the cheap barley tea that I used to only be able to drink for 80 yen per 10g, this is a completely different flavor.
"... No need, let's do it now. I feel like I'll have even less time later."
As he said this, he immediately stood up, walked to the coat rack, and took down the coat that he had casually hung up.
For him, every day is unknown and new, and things that can be done now should never be postponed until tomorrow.
"I see!"
She quickly gulped down the tea, her face flushed slightly from the rush, but she still managed to suppress any loud noises.
Sakurakoji Talent's lips curved into a smile, then relaxed, and pretending not to notice, he picked up his keys and walked out of the entrance hall.
Five minutes later, in the Parking Lot downstairs at the apartment building.
"... What is this?"
Looking at the gleaming black luxury car in front of her, Koto Satsuki turned her gaze to him in confusion.
It wasn't that she was shocked that he owned such a luxury car, but rather that she knew his age and didn't know what he wanted to do by bringing her to such a car, since she didn't see a driver inside.
"Get on the tram, it takes too long to take the tram so late at night."
Sakurakoji Talent waved and then got into the driver's seat first.
"You wouldn't be planning to...!"
She opened her eyes wide in astonishment, her worldview shattering in shock.
Even Ouka Mai wouldn't do something so crazy.
"What's so strange about it? I've been running it for almost half a month now."
"But you're committing a crime..."
"Don't worry about that, I have a clever plan, it'll be fine."
He raised his hand to interrupt, then urged, "Hurry up, I have other things to do later."
Koto Satsuki stood there, unsure whether to get on the bus or not.
Ultimately, she succumbed to the pressure of having caused the incident. After hesitating for a dozen seconds, she forced open the passenger seat with her teeth clenched and sat down!
Then—I immediately tightened the seatbelt, pressed my Hands firmly against it, and my heart was pounding.
This was a level of tension and regret she had never felt before, even after countless defeats to Ouka Mai.
I'm sorry, Mom, after tonight I may never see you again...
"It's just driving, why are you so nervous? It makes me feel humiliated. What if I mistake the accelerator for the brake?"
After casually making a joke that not only failed to relax her but also made Koto Satsuki's face turn even paler and more desperate, he slowly started the car just as she was about to give up on the trip.
"We're here, is it okay now?"
"... Okay, thank you."
After parking the car nearby in front of a shrine in a residential area, Sakurakoji Talent, supporting the pale-faced and weak-legged Koto Satsuki, arrived at this cramped place without even steps.
Koto Satsuki sat awkwardly beside the donation box at the shrine, which was marked "Offerings," her eyes vacant, looking like a young woman who had just been assaulted.
But Sakurakoji Talent swears that his technique is excellent; he didn't do anything to her, not even a violent swaying throughout the entire encounter.
The reason she's like this is entirely due to her own physical condition!
After a couple of minutes, she moved her soft throat, licked her dry lips, and looked up at him. "Thank you, I feel better."
"Hmm, you'll continue? What's the purpose of bringing me here?"
He pointed to the shrine and joked, "Could it be that you've come here to pray, hoping this operation will be effective?"
Koto Satsuki slowly stood up, patted the back of her skirt, turned to face the building, and admitted, "It's not that I haven't had that thought at all... Whenever I want to motivate myself, I come here."
"Hmph~ Oh! So, it's a place like your own secret base?"
His eyes shone as he cupped his face and shook it; he loved the feeling of sharing a secret with someone!
Chapter 426 One after another, the favored daughters.
"A secret base... well, it's not really that frequent."
In the dim, pale light of the night, Koto Satsuki tossed a 100-yen coin into the offering box and clapped her hands in prayer.
Although it was only 100 yen, it was only because she had recently become rich from her part-time job; in the past, she would never lose money.
Of course, she rarely went to worship before, because she didn't really believe it was effective.
To defeat Ouka Mai, one still needs to put in their own effort and time.
But what if...? She's almost tired of losing too.
After a brief prayer, she continued, "Right here, Ouka Mai upset but still clung to me without a care for her image."
"It sounded so cute, how did it turn out like this?"
Sakurakoji Talent allowed him to utter a helpless sigh, his emotions filled with lament for the relentless passage of time.
