Chapter 73
Dekomori Sanae jogged over, looked up, and asked.
No, it's because...
He quickly explained the situation.
"I see, so it's other schools coming to visit?"
"What seems like a conversation might actually be someone seeking help for death!"
"Perhaps the crisis has broken out in other regions first?"
"It's very possible he'll die!"
An analysis was conducted on Takanashi Rikka and Dekomori Sanae.
Ignoring the two's self-entertainment, Natsukawa Masuzu put her phone away, winked mischievously, and a cute smile appeared on her lips.
"Club President, you really shouldn't have refused."
"Oh?"
He let out a soft "hmm," wanting to hear the girl's analysis.
"Think about it, Club President. The influence of our Far East Magic Society certainly won't be limited to Shuchiin, but will extend to a much wider world. And don't other academies, which are also sources of talent, also need our support?"
Xia Yechuan M Liang's words immediately piqued the interest of the others.
"Perhaps we could establish a branch of the organization there?"
Takanashi Rikka's eyes lit up.
"Greedy Witch, I acknowledge your ambition! Death!"
Dekomori Sanae also gave her a thumbs up.
Is this guy trying to escalate things?
Nibuya Morika's expression was tense, as if she could read the other party's sinister malice in his eyes.
"Hasegawa, I have a different opinion! Given our current strength, it's not advisable to forcibly expand the organization's scope. It's best to maintain our current state and accumulate strength for now!"
As she raised her hand and uttered those words, she couldn't help but blush.
Natsukawa Masuzu glared at Nibuya.
How dare you ruin my plans!
"Hmm... I've considered your opinions, and I believe our sphere of influence will indeed expand, but there's no urgent need for it at the moment... Natsukawa's suggestion is also good. If there are qualified individuals, I can tentatively place my bets, hoping for future development."
Rubbing her chin with her fingers, Hasegawa Izumi pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
This was his decision, and the girls had no objections.
"Mori Summer, aren't you being a little too cautious?"
Natsukawa Masuzu simply pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction with someone.
Instead of being annoyed by this title, Nibuya Morika smiled.
Who told you to keep provoking me!
Don't think I don't hold grudges!
"She's just a fake Mori Summer, that's all."
Dekomori Sanae immediately added that emphasis.
"That's right."
She maintained her smile.
"Oh."
Natsukawa Masuzu clenched her small fists, looking displeased.
"However, after hearing Natsukawa's suggestion, I suddenly remembered that there are still shortcomings in the establishment of our organization."
Hasegawa Izumi went to the blackboard that had always been placed in the corner and wrote on it, "The Far East Magic Society's base in the Sea of Electrons."
"A stronghold in the Sea of Electrons?"
Natsukawa Masuzu frowned.
She recognizes all the characters, so why does it sound so awkward when they're put together?
"It's just about building a website. You can't possibly be so clueless as to not even understand that?"
A mocking voice reached my ears.
Nibuya, whose conflict had become public, also became very aggressive.
"Of course I don't understand these technical terms. As a junior, I naturally have to learn from my seniors."
Natsukawa Masuzu retorted sarcastically, making the latter's expression very unnatural.
If all else fails, we'll just hurt each other and see who can't take it anymore!
"Should we establish a base in the Sea of Electrons? It would certainly be beneficial for our activities and expand our influence, but wouldn't it require professionals to do so?"
Takanashi Rikka asked a question.
"No problem, Death! I have Dekumori plan. Just issue a request in the Sea of Electrons, and someone will help with the construction! Lord Sage, Master, leave this arduous task to me! You'll see the Cyber Base appear next week."
Dekomori Sanae volunteered, patting her chest as she assured him.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Dekumori."
Hasegawa Izumi nodded, choosing to believe in her abilities.
"Kaguya-sama seems a little down?"
On her way home, Hayasaka Ai, through her understanding of Shinomiya Kaguya, sensed the true emotions beneath her expressionless face.
So after returning home, she changed into Maid Outfit and pushed open the door to Shinomiya Kaguya's bedroom.
The sunset glow outside streamed into the room through the glass window.
The woman, considered a cold beauty by the world, stood there, looking out the window, exuding a beauty that seemed detached from the world.
"Kaguya-sama, is something bothering you?"
As a maid and her childhood best friend, she has the responsibility and desire to help Shinomiya Kaguya with her troubles.
"Hayasaka, do you think I was looked down upon by that man?"
Shinomiya Kaguya said without turning her head.
His tone seemed colder than usual.
"Hasegawa-kun, what have you done to offend you this time, Young Lady?"
Without hesitation, Hayasaka Ai came up with the reference to 'that man'.
After all, there's only one person that Kaguya-sama can't forget.
"Aren't we having an exchange meeting with Soubu High School next week? Everyone originally designated that guy as the Student Representative, but he pushed the responsibility onto me, saying I was the most suitable candidate because I could make a better impression... This is utterly disgraceful!!"
The cold tone turned into a furious soaring, Shinomiya Kaguya clenched her fists.
Her best skill, archery, is inferior, and so is her academic ability... In this situation, isn't Hasegawa's statement simply calling her a pretty face?
"I think you've misunderstood Kaguya-sama."
Hayasaka Ai paused for a moment, then suddenly thought of something.
"Actually, Hasegawa-kun was complimenting you on your beauty and elegance, but his tough style isn't really suited to handling this kind of situation."
"Real!?"
Shinomiya Kaguya's expression changed; she turned her head, her expression clearly softening considerably.
88. Sorry, you guessed wrong, I'm not the strongest.
Really...
The Young Lady's reaction caused Hayasaka Ai's eyes to subtly change.
"That's obviously the only explanation! For Hasegawa-kun, the school has entrusted him with an important task. Although he can't take it on himself, he will definitely choose the person he thinks is the best. After thinking it over, only Kaguya-sama can catch his eye, right?"
The maid became more and more confident as she spoke.
Believe it or not, I believe it.
"Um..."
Shinomiya Kaguya fell into deep thought, then a captivating smile appeared on her cold face.
"At least that guy has some sense!"
Although she couldn't beat her opponent among her peers, she was confident she could outperform others.
Her expression quickly changed, becoming cold and indifferent. She turned and ordered, "Hayasaka, gather information on the students from Soubu High School this time."
"Yes."
Hayasaka Ai bowed slightly, then turned and left.
Shinomiya Kaguya turned her head back to look out the window, her gaze softening slightly.
The beautiful sunset brought her some warmth and tranquility.
Saturday noon.
On the sofa.
"My other half, what are you looking at?"
Kōko had just finished watching an episode of anime when she turned around and found her older brother staring at his phone.
"Um...?"
Hasegawa Izumi stopped typing and glanced at him sideways.
"Our Far East Magic Society is preparing to establish a base in the Sea of Electrons, and we are currently making various suggestions..."
The website has a variety of styles, and everyone has different preferences. Dekomori Sanae knew that she couldn't just act according to her own preferences, so she asked her master and the Lord Sage for advice in the chat group.
She completely ignored the Greedy Witch and the imposter Mori Summer.
Clearly, the Greedy Witch wasn't the type to accept things passively, and immediately started a battle with her in the group chat.
Although Nibuya Morika wasn't interested in the website, she was very interested in mocking the two of them, and would often dabble in it.
The chat group became incredibly lively.
"Has it really come to this? My other half... You wouldn't betray the blood flowing in your veins, would you?!"
Kōko suddenly became serious, her tone slightly panicked.
"How could that be? My relationship with Kōko is not in the same system as my relationship with the members of the Far East Magic Society. Don't worry about it."
Hasegawa Izumi smiled to herself, gave her Little Sister a reassuring look, and casually used her signature 'Head Pat' technique.
Feeling the gentle caress of his warm hand, Kōko understood how much her brother cared for her, and her emotions quickly calmed down.
"Kukuku...! It seems my My other half wasn't blinded by momentary impulse! You must understand, I am the only one you can rely on completely! The bond of blood is the strongest oath in this world..."
She then proudly made a peace sign.
Soon, the channel's commercial break ended, drawing Kōko's attention again.
Hasegawa Izumi checked the chat group again and found that there had been new changes. Rikka, who hadn't spoken until now, finally appeared.
The Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King User: Let's stop this pointless argument. Let's consult the Sage about this matter!
Thunder Hammer User: Matter, you've finally appeared!
Greedy Witch: But what is the Club President doing right now? Let's decide for ourselves, it's not important anyway.
Nibuya: Maybe that guy was actually spying on us.
The Greedy Witch: That's certainly possible.
