Classroom of the Elite, Keima Katsuragi's Love Brain Battle

"This is a very popular game. I've already finished the walkthrough for the first installment, and as it happens, I just cleared this one today."

"Today... you cleared it today?"

Airi Sakura widened her eyes in a daze.

It was only at this moment that Airi Sakura realized something.

She hadn't known which game to buy at the time, so she had asked the clerk to recommend one with a good reputation.

But Airi Sakura had overlooked one thing.

She didn't know whether Keima Katsuragi had already bought this game or not.

And now, she was in the most awkward of awkward situations.

The gift she had bought was completely meaningless to Keima Katsuragi.

"I... I'm, I'm sorry..."

Airi Sakura lowered her head, her heart already screaming for her to flee this place.

"An apology? Airi, why are you apologizing?"

Keima Katsuragi looked up, meeting Airi Sakura's face.

With her fair cheeks and delicate features, the truth was that even with her glasses on, her beauty wasn't diminished in the slightest.

"I... I bought a game that you've already played, Keima-kun..."

"That's actually great."

A smile appeared on Keima Katsuragi's face.

"This series of games is quite excellent. For a good game, it's only right to buy as many copies as one can."

Airi Sakura looked up, her gaze locking with Keima Katsuragi's.

She could feel that these words from Keima Katsuragi weren't just to comfort her, but were spoken with genuine sincerity.

Keima Katsuragi seemed to truly like this gift.

She had finally taken another step forward in her life!

"Thank you, Airi."

"No, I'm the one who should be saying thank you!"

As she spoke, Airi Sakura realized she had been staring at Keima Katsuragi's face for a long time without noticing, and she hurriedly shifted her gaze elsewhere.

"Shall we head back together?"

"Together, let's head back together!"

Airi Sakura felt her heartbeat accelerating again. Her heart desperately wanted to agree, but then she remembered something, and ultimately, she shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Keima-kun, I still have some things to take care of... things that must be handled."

Airi Sakura's usually timid gaze became incredibly firm for the first time.

"I see. Then I'll head off first. If there's anything you need help with, please don't hesitate to contact me."

"Mm!"

Airi Sakura nodded vigorously.

Keima Katsuragi left first, and Airi Sakura didn't notice that a smile remained on her face the entire time.

However, the smile on Airi Sakura's face soon vanished. She walked to a deserted area of the school, her expression grave as she picked up her terminal.

There were some things that had to be settled today.

Airi Sakura opened the private message section of her blog, where the number of unread messages had already reached 999+.

Among them, the number of messages from one anonymous user alone exceeded 100.

[User Anonymous]: Little Shizuku is so cute today too!

[User Anonymous]: Little Shizuku came to see me yesterday, will you go on a date with me today too?

[User Anonymous]: Little Shizuku, Little Shizuku, Little Shizuku, Little Shizuku, Little Shizuku, Little Shizuku, Little Shizuku, Little Shizuku, hurry up and reply to my messages!

Airi Sakura took a deep breath and sent a message to the anonymous user:

"Hello, I have something I want to say to you in person. Would you be available?"

Airi Sakura already knew in her heart exactly who the person sending her these messages was.

But just after Airi Sakura sent the message, a ticking sound suddenly rang out from the bushes nearby.

"Little Shizuku, Little Shizuku, Little Shizuku, you, you want to meet me alone!!!"

A voice filled with fanaticism erupted from the side, and a middle-aged man with an incredibly sleazy appearance appeared before Airi Sakura.

It was the clerk from the electronics section of the supermarket earlier.

The moment she saw him, Airi Sakura's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Although she had been telling herself over and over in her heart that the probability of this was extremely low, the content of the man's words proved it completely.

The content of the private message Airi Sakura received today was even more outrageous—

It was a candid photo of herself.

It wasn't a photo from today, but one that had been taken a long time ago.

This made Airi Sakura realize that the person had been stalking her for several days.

Airi Sakura's distress today was not only because of the situation with Keima Katsuragi, but also because of this matter.

However, by now, Airi Sakura's mindset had changed.

She knew that blindly running away was useless.

The current her had to take that step forward.

"I'm very sorry, please stop contacting me..."

Airi Sakura bowed deeply to the other person, her tone extremely polite.

"Your behavior has already caused trouble for my Eryi Wunili life—"

"Why would you say that? To me, you are truly important... The first time I saw you in a magazine, I fell in love with you! I feel it was fate that we met here again. I love you so much... I simply cannot stop these feelings of longing for you!"

The shop clerk interrupted Airi Sakura directly, simultaneously pulling countless envelopes from his pockets.

"These, these are all love letters expressing my affection! Originally, I had planned to deliver them to your dormitory today! I was so looking forward to seeing the look of surprise on your face, Shizuku!"

"How do you know where my room is! Why are you sending me things like this?"

"...Does that even need to be said? It's because our hearts are connected!"

The shop clerk stated these incredibly perverted words without the slightest concealment.

"Please, don't do this anymore... You're making me uncomfortable!"

"Why! Why are you rejecting me! This is a symbol of my love!! Wait a second, you aren't doing this because of that guy from earlier, are you? I remember him! He was the one with you last time, Shizuku! How could someone like that be worthy of standing by your side! He looks like trash! A loser!"

"He is not! Keima is not the person you say he is! He is the kindest and best person I have ever met! I feel comfortable whenever I am with him! He, he is nothing like you!"

At this very moment, Airi Sakura gathered all her strength and let out the loudest and most emotional voice of her life, her tone unwavering.

These words completely enraged the shop clerk; his features twisted into a knot, looking incredibly hideous.

"No, no, no, you're still speaking up for him, Shizuku. I will tell you about this true love of mine right now! That way, you'll be able to understand!"

As he spoke, the shop clerk lunged toward Airi Sakura like a wild beast.

"That's enough."

Just at that moment, the voice belonging to Keima Katsuragi rang out from behind them.

Volume One: Chapter Sixty: The Strongest War God on the Surface, God of Conquest!

"You, it's you?!"

The shop clerk turned his head in terror, only to see Keima Katsuragi, whom he had just been cursing, standing not far away with his terminal's recording function activated.

"That's right, it's me."

Keima Katsuragi walked slowly toward the man, his gaze filled with disdain.

"An existence like you is the reason I hate reality. As an adult, attempting to use force against a girl is truly pathetic. If this gets out, your life will be over. No company will hire you, and no friends or family will look up to you. You will become the trash of this world."

Keima Katsuragi's gaze pierced through his lenses and landed on the man's face, sharp as a blade.

"I, I didn't! It, it's because this girl wanted me to teach her how to use a digital camera, that's all!"

The shop clerk scrambled to defend himself, casting a pitiful look toward Airi Sakura.

However, the only response he received was Airi Sakura's words of utter disgust:

"That is, that is not true at all!"

"You ugly woman! You ugly woman! You don't actually think I like you, do you? You ugly woman!"

The shop clerk flew into a rage, hurling insults at Airi Sakura.

"Are your eyes blind?"

Just then, Keima Katsuragi spoke in a cold, indifferent tone.

"She is clearly so beautiful, yet because she won't tolerate your harassment, you slander her as ugly. You really are pathetic."

Keima Katsuragi continued.

"I have recorded the entire thing, and I have already contacted security. I imagine they will be here very soon—"

"Get lost!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the shop clerk ran away like a madman, bolting around the corner ahead.

As a staff member of the school, he knew very well that there were no surveillance cameras in this area!

The shop clerk's mind couldn't even process a thought; he had only one idea now, and that was to escape this place immediately.

Keima Katsuragi did not choose to pursue him; he walked to the corner and watched the shop clerk's retreating figure.

He knew very well that the man would never be able to escape.

Keima Katsuragi had even contacted the security personnel in advance, mapping out the potential escape routes the culprit might take for them.

Presumably, the shop assistant would run into the security team shortly—

And at that very moment, Keima Katsuragi's eyes caught sight of something strange.

Something was flying in the sky?!

A black body, enormous wings...

The sky was growing dark, yet Keima Katsuragi could still see the object with absolute clarity.

That's a damn demon, isn't it?!

This is definitely Elsie's doing!!!

Just then, the hellish creature seemed to notice the sprinting shop assistant.

It descended directly in front of him, and the shop assistant, caught completely off guard, was sent flying by the impact, rolling across the ground several times before struggling to climb back up.

"W-what is that thing?!"

His voice trembled, and he even briefly wondered if he was hallucinating.

What on earth was this creature in front of him?!

This—this was a monster that should only exist in games and movies, right?!

"So you were here!"

Just then, a hurried voice rang out from above.

Elsie was riding a broomstick, descending from the sky.

The shop assistant looked at Elsie in terror; in his eyes, she was just an ordinary girl, as ordinary as they come.

But...
