Winning Sakayanagi's Points

In a certain karaoke room.

This was where Akasaka and Sakayanagi met.

I couldn't help but look at the trio opposite me, Sakayanagi, Kamuro, and Morishita Ai, and smile. "You three really are inseparable, Sakayanagi, Kamuro, and Morishita Ai."

Morishita Ai put one hand on her hip in a cute pose, and the other hand was held in front of her eyes, making a peace sign.

"Yes, we are the best trio, the Rocket Team!"

I couldn't help but clap, and instinctively replied, "Then who are you guys?"

Seeing Akasaka's familiar question, Morishita knew he was a fellow otaku, and her eyes instantly lit up as she entered her Chuunibyou mode.

She put one hand on her waist, covered her face with the other, as if possessed by Sasuke, and revealed a twisted smile.

"Heh heh, since you sincerely ask..."

After a long while, seeing that no one was cooperating with her, Morishita nudged Kamuro next to her. Kamuro crossed her arms and turned her head away, clearly not wanting to play along.

Seeing this, Morishita had no choice but to resort to a trick. She quickly went to Kamuro's side and started tickling her armpits vigorously.

"Tickle tickle tickle, I'm tickling, I'm tickling~"

"Hahaha! Stop tickling, Morishita! Stop it! I surrender, I surrender!!!"

Morishita Ai stopped what she was doing, her eyes fixed on Kamuro.

Kamuro finally couldn't stand the humiliation and reluctantly played along.

"Since you sincerely ask!"

Morishita Ai quickly added, "Then I will mercifully tell you."

Kamuro bit her lip and said with humiliation, "To protect the world from devastation..."

"To unite all peoples within our nation!"

Kamuro said weakly, "To denounce the evils of truth and love..."

"To extend our reach to the stars above!" Morishita put a hand on her hip and struck a cool pose.

"Kamuro!"

"Morishita Ai!"

The two of them knelt on one knee, facing Sakayanagi Arisu, who was sitting on the sofa, and continued their declaration.

"Kamuro! Morishita Ai!" Morishita Ai said the embarrassing lines, getting more and more into it.

Kamuro looked somewhat despondent. "A white hole, a white tomorrow awaits us..."

All that was left was Nyan-nyan's final line.

Morishita Ai stared intently at Sakayanagi Arisu, her meaning clear.

Sakayanagi, the little Tyrannosaurus Rex sitting on the sofa, clenched her cane tightly, clearly on the verge of exploding.

She could hardly believe it. What kind of assistants had she found?

Was Morishita Ai always like this? She'd never noticed before. It seemed she was hiding it well...

Facing Morishita Ai's pleading gaze, Sakayanagi felt a bit embarrassed.

"Sorry, I don't know which line comes next. I haven't watched Pokémon..." Sakayanagi said guiltily.

She had actually watched it, but she didn't want to admit it because she didn't want to say those embarrassing lines.

Seeing her boss wasn't cooperating, Morishita Ai let out an "Oh~" and then showed a disappointed expression, her spirit wilting considerably.

Akasaka couldn't help but be amused by the scene and quietly supplied the final line.

"Meow meow meow, that's how it is, we're Team Rocket."

Morishita Ai's eyes lit up instantly. She hurried over to Akasaka and directly took his hand.

"Comrade!"

Seeing Morishita Ai's excitement, Akasaka appropriately took out his Mobile Terminal and requested her as a friend. He wasn't lusting after her beauty; it was purely for potential future use.

Morishita Ai also added him as a friend without hesitation. I couldn't help but glance at her phone's photo album and marvel.

"Code Geass, Death Note, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Gundam 00, Gundam SEED. I wouldn't have guessed that Morishita Ai is a deep 2D enthusiast."

Morishita Ai waved her hand dismissively. "Just call me Morishita, comrade."

I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "How can you be so sure I'm a comrade?"

Morishita showed a determined gaze. "The intuition of a kindred spirit."

Their eyes met, and they both showed expressions of mutual appreciation, simultaneously pecking each other on the lips in mid-air.

Sakayanagi and Kamuro instantly collapsed to the ground.

Kamuro climbed up from the table and cursed irritably.

"What are you two doing? Did you fall for each other?!"

Both showed embarrassed expressions. "Sorry, we just hit it off, couldn't help ourselves. ×2"

Sakayanagi rolled her eyes impatiently. "Akasaka, you've already hit it off with my assistant so quickly. Anyone who didn't know better would think you two were in cahoots."

Akasaka shrugged. "You wouldn't understand, Sakayanagi. This is the unspoken understanding between 2D people."

"Exactly!" Morishita stood beside Akasaka, as if they were truly a team, which greatly annoyed Sakayanagi.

She seriously suspected that a traitor was behind the drop in class points; there was no other explanation for such a significant decrease.

Meanwhile, the original Class B's points had risen considerably. There must have been someone working from the inside and out.

Sakayanagi's purpose for coming here wasn't just to hand over the points, but also to extract information about who had betrayed the class.

Now, she didn't even need to pry; she was already starting to suspect Morishita Ai.

This was because the other person was openly goofing around with Morishita Ai...

Morishita Ai covered one eye with her hand and, facing Akasaka, waved her other hand, activating the power of Geass.

A red, bird-like pattern gradually appeared in Morishita Ai's eyes. [The above is all imagination, please disregard.]

"I, Lelouch Lamperouge, command you, Akasaka Ryunosuke, to submit to me!"

Akasaka, playing along, let out a hearty laugh.

"With just this level of mental interference, in front of my Kaleidoscope Sharingan..."

"Enough, both of you!!!"

Sakayanagi finally lost her patience and stopped the two from continuing their act.

She had had enough of these two Chuunibyou.

She even regretted choosing Morishita Ai as her assistant.

Why hadn't she realized this person was a Chuunibyou back then? She had thought she was just quiet and prone to talking to herself, not a severe Chuunibyou...

Akasaka and Morishita froze simultaneously, then reacted with embarrassed expressions.

They had gotten carried away and forgotten everything.

It was rare to meet a fellow patient of the same age, so they had let loose and completely forgotten the purpose of their visit.

Morishita returned to stand behind Sakayanagi, resuming her usual quiet demeanor. Clearly, she had snapped back to reality.

Akasaka also regained his serious composure, and the conversation continued.

Sakayanagi let out a long sigh, calming the turbulent emotions within her, and then spoke slowly.

"I admit I lost this time, Akasaka. But I want to understand why I lost. I want to know who sold out Class A?"

Sakayanagi stared straight at me, as if certain there was a traitor in Class A!

Facing Sakayanagi's question, Akasaka Ryunosuke had no intention of revealing who it was.

Because the other party had helped him without his knowledge.

Although Kamuro was a bit slow and a bit foolish, she wasn't at a point where I would betray her.

I thought for a moment and shook my head. "There's no traitor in your class, Miss Sakayanagi. You're overthinking it."

"Hmph," Sakayanagi snorted dismissively, clearly not believing my words.

"If there's no traitor, how did you manage to deduct points from our class?"

"I don't believe you didn't have someone working with you from the inside."

"But a bet is a bet, and I'll pay what I owe."

With that, Sakayanagi transferred 900,000 Personal Points to me.

I calmly accepted the 900,000 Personal Points, showing no emotional fluctuation. Perhaps the previous amounts were too large, and 900,000 didn't have much of an impact.

Seeing my attitude, Sakayanagi was a little curious.

"Judging by your reaction, you seem to have more than 900,000 on hand."

"And Class B's victory this time, it's related to you too, isn't it? You wouldn't have earned a large sum of points from there as well, would you?"

Although she was asking, she had basically already confirmed it.

Because both classes' points had changed, it was obvious that the man in front of her was the one who made the move. This only made Sakayanagi more interested in him.

From childhood until now, apart from that one time at the White House, she hadn't lost her composure like this.

Sakayanagi Arisu gradually revealed an expression of looking at her prey, as if she had already regarded Akasaka Ryunosuke as her own prey.

Seeing that expression, Akasaka knew he had been targeted by the Mother Tyrant, but it didn't matter. All he needed to do was earn points and achieve his goal.

It was going to be a confrontation with Miss Sakayanagi sooner or later anyway, so it might as well be sooner.

Seeing that the points were in hand, Akasaka didn't say much more and prepared to get up and leave the private room. He said goodbye to Sakayanagi and left.

Sakayanagi stood at the door, watching the figure who had defeated her since enrollment, a smile gradually forming on her lips.

"We'll meet again, Akasaka. Our battle has only just begun..."

"Let's go, Morishita, Kamuro."

Sakayanagi leaned on her Cane and slowly stood up.

The two girls also followed closely, flanking Sakayanagi.

Before leaving, Sakayanagi made a call to his Father.

"Father, I've met a very interesting person. Could you help me investigate someone named Akasaka Ryunosuke? I want all his information, the sooner the better."

The chairman on the other end of the line, Sakayanagi Narumori, was quite helpless.

"Daughter, you're asking your Dad to abuse his power for you. This is unfair."

Sakayanagi pouted his cute little mouth, his tone laced with a hint of coquetry.

"If you don't agree, Father, I'll never speak to you again."

As a doting father, Sakayanagi Narumori couldn't stand such a threat and immediately agreed without a second word...

Seeing that his objective was achieved, Sakayanagi hung up the phone, a strange smile appearing on his lips.

"Akasaka, the battle between us has only just begun."

"As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.'"

"We'll see..."

Meanwhile, Akasaka Ryunosuke sneezed inexplicably.

"Achoo! Who's badmouthing me? Weird."
