I Want More

This is information that can be easily obtained with a simple investigation.

The long-haired man in front of them gave off the same feeling as expected.

A ruthless and vicious person.

The furtive gaze was like that of a venomous snake secretly aiming at its opponent—dark and hissing.

If there's anything else he can rely on, it's probably only his violence.

After all, the black man next to him did look quite extraordinary.

Sakayanagi Arisu speaking, Kito Hayato and Hashimoto Masayoshi, standing to her left and right like bodyguards, stepped forward to protect her.

They might not be able to defeat them, but they could definitely cover Kamuro Masumi's escape with the Little Princess.

"..."

The silent, burly Yamada Albert also took a step forward, though reluctantly, but Ibuki Mio beside him did the same.

The atmosphere began to tense.

"Step back." But Ryuen Kakeru waved his hand. "I won't fight."

"Of course, I won't easily swallow this loss, nor will I simply leave after making some tough words."

That would be so stupid and embarrassing.

Despite the miscalculation, he had already devised a way to remedy the situation.

Just like Sakayanagi Arisu's reaction.

Faced with her own sarcastic words, she didn't really intend to use her position as chairman to crush her; rather, she revealed that look in her eyes.

After a moment's thought, Ryuen Kakeru came to a conclusion.

Could it be that this woman is the particularly troublesome type, someone who, despite leveraging her parents' power, is incredibly bothered by it, and desperately wants to prove herself because she has lived in their shadow for so long?

He looked up at Sakayanagi Arisu again, and confirmed his answer.

That's right.

This is the kind of thing that a proud woman cares about most.

Although playing this card prematurely is not a good idea, it's precisely in situations like this that you should do it.

"If you hand the recording over to the school, I'll have people spread rumors that your father is the chairman of the school's board of directors." Ryuen Kakeru said the threatening words calmly.

"What—" Sakayanagi Arisu's small hand gripping the cane tightened instantly.

She never expected Ryuen Kakeru to say such a thing.

Is this a threat you should be making?

Is this a threat you can utter?!

Ha?

What a joke! Using something like this as a threat?!

Despite her desire to angrily confront Ryuen Kakeru, Sakayanagi Arisu unexpectedly discovers that she might actually be threatened.

"... Is this really okay?" So, Sakayanagi Arisu said the same thing as Ryuen.

She glanced at the voice Voice Recorder in Kamuro Masumi's hand, which had finished playing back the recording and had resumed recording mode, and said softly, "The recording is still going on."

"Do you think spreading rumors can be easily tolerated?"

Without evidence and without someone behind it, the school might not accept the rumors—no, it definitely won't.

As long as it doesn't cause any adverse effects, rumors are ultimately just rumors.

Just like with Chabashira Sae, although the initial information she spread was true, there was a lot of false information that was fabricated and embellished for the purpose of dissemination.

If Chabashira Sae hadn't fainted at the end, those words could have continued to be passed on.

However, cases like Ryuen Kakeru's, where he explicitly announced his intention to spread rumors and has a clear recording, are quite different.

If you report it, he will definitely be punished.

The only thing that is uncertain is the severity of the punishment.

But...

"What rumor?" Ryuen Kakeru was completely baffled. "Isn't this true?"

"Do you dare swear here that you have absolutely no connection with Chairman Sakayanagi?"

What a joke, this woman.

Seeing Sakayanagi Arisu open her lips, Ryuen Kakeru went a step further, pulling out his Personal Terminal and turning on the recording.

"Come on, tell me now, swear that you have absolutely no relationship with Sakayanagi Narimori."

"--Speak!" Suddenly, Ryuen Kakeru raised his voice.

In that instant, the situation seemed to have reversed once again.

"..." Sakayanagi Arisu's expression was extremely ugly. This was clearly the least threatening handle, yet Ryuen Kakeru used it so... brazenly.

It was because of her negligence.

No, the real culprit is the Diary, and the person behind Ryuen Kakeru who used the information in the Diary to expose her father's identity.

"Enough, shut up." Sakayanagi Arisu a deep breath and slammed her cane on the ground. "Keep your people quiet, make those three idiots drop the charges, and let's all back down. I won't report this recording to the school again."

"If this 'rumor' gets out, no matter who made it, I will hand over the recording to the school."

"I've got it."

As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Ryuen Kakeru to agree or not, Sakayanagi Arisu turned around without hesitation and left.

She'd had enough.

"... He's maintained that arrogant attitude from beginning to end, never even glancing up at anyone." Watching Sakayanagi Arisu walk away, Ryuen Kakeru scoffed, "Disgusting."

"Let's go. We'll go back and get those idiots Ishizaki, to drop the lawsuit."

"We've managed to uncover something interesting."

Sakayanagi Arisu is very concerned about her status as a "Nepo Baby," and similarly, aside from the initial irregular class assignment, she probably won't use her father's power as chairman again.

... Perhaps, even when she was first assigned to Class A, she felt that her talent was worthy of her place in Class A.

With such an arrogant class leader, it seems Class B doesn't need to pay too much attention to him.

"..."

As she walked away, Sakayanagi Arisu's expression gradually softened.

Speaking of which... Ryuen Kakeru mentioned a name earlier.

'Asakusa'

Is she a new holder of a copy of Horikita Suzune's Diary Copy?

That's interesting.

"Hey, hey." Just as Sakayanagi Arisu in thought, Hashimoto Masayoshi unknowingly came up to her.

He gave her the same expression he had when he asked her if she was really a lesbian, "Um, Little Princess, is your father really the chairman?"

"If so, could you ask him to give us a heads-up? Even just a heads-up about when there will be an exam that increases Class Points. It's so frustrating to be stuck in Class B all this time."

"..." Sakayanagi Arisu her tracks, her face expressionless.

"--roll!"

Chapter 174 Want to More

The Voice Recorder arms race has officially begun, and First-Year Class C, which was supposed to be the first to enter, joined the competition at the last minute.

But Asakusa Toru, the one who started it all, is completely oblivious and is still lying in Sakura Airi's dormitory.

"..."

Even though there were already two people in the dormitory room, the door remained open, and footsteps could be heard coming from inside.

Even though the girl was currently holding someone's head in her arms and gently stroking it, in a position that shouldn't be seen by others, Sakura Airi didn't panic at all.

There's no doubt, because the visitor can only be one person.

Kushida Kikyo.

The two extra spare Room Key Card had already been exchanged. Although Asakusa Toru didn't actually need these two Room Key Cards, having them was, in a sense, equivalent to obtaining permission from the girls.

The dormitory will then become a promised land.

Once you have the Room Key Card and Sakura Airi's special actions are unlocked, there are actually more ways to play than you might imagine.

For example, sleeping ○, sleeping ○ and sleeping ○, etc.

Sakura's mother's cohabitation life!

Making tea, patting the head, barging in, imitating a cat's meow...

In short, it's a very good life.

Actually, Asakusa Toru wasn't always this degenerate.

After receiving his graduation certificate from the White Room, he still tried to observe Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's reaction.

Although his physical abilities have reached their limit, and he shouldn't lose to his opponent while maintaining distance with the unlimited firepower of the throwing Voice Recorder, what if this Pseudo-human launches a sneak attack?

There's no such thing as being a thief for a thousand days and guarding against thieves for a thousand days.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, due to his influence, doesn't seem to have developed any desire to lead the class to better things, and Chabashira Sae hasn't called anyone to her office alone since she fainted.

Asakusa Toru has always welcomed this development.

The greatest masterpieces may not necessarily be ingenious in their calculations, but they are certainly incredibly violent.

You can't say that attacking Ryuen doesn't count as violence.

However, after observing for several days, he found that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's actions remained unchanged.

It's still like a human-machine interface.

Going to class, leaving get out of class, eating, returning to the dormitory, integrating into the group of three idiots, the routine remains unchanged.

Asakusa Toru couldn't understand why Horikita Suzune couldn't figure out that the real Pseudo-human was actually Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, even though the clues were so obvious.

Oh well, the Trial was only for the first month anyway, so even if Horikita Suzune found her target, she wouldn't be able to claim the reward.

The answer is that it's expired.

Honestly, if Horikita Suzune had actually found Ayanokoji back then, although he would still laugh and mock her mercilessly, he might actually have written more information in his diary as a reward.

For example, tell her that there's a big idiot named Nagumo who's got his eye on her brother's skinny swallow.

Cough.

Forget it, I'll stop spreading rumors and just stick to telling the truth.

For example, it's like Miyabi Nagumo's most caring person in this school is Horikita Manabu, and Horikita Manabu's most concerned person in this school is Miyabi Nagumo. It's like there's always a girl with a bun hairstyle next to her who seems to like the Student Council president, but she doesn't show any interest at all and only gets emotionally affected by a certain man.

It's all the truth.

Anyone would tell you that this is the truth!

"Turn around." Kushida Kikyo's voice came from behind. "I'm going to exercise my right to use Asakusa Toru."

The girl's voice carried a hint of annoyance; it was unclear who had provoked her this time.

As soon as she finished speaking, Sakura Airi's eyes began to dart around.

Even now, Ms. Sakura still doesn't dare to lower herself to speak as arrogantly as Kushida Kikyo in front of her, uttering words like "executive right of use" and other such proactive statements.

Only when I really can't help myself will I hypnotize myself into thinking that I am a mother, a good mother who can tolerate anything I do to my child, so that I can reach out and step into places I shouldn't touch.

She's just such a useless, spineless woman.

Sakura Airi has always been aware of this.

However, if someone were to try to take the baby from her arms right in front of her...

Sakura Airi would suddenly feel that perhaps it wasn't entirely impossible to give it a shot.
