"Why did you go out of your way to give me this?"

Inside the restaurant, Kato Satsu carefully held the rabbit doll in his hands and asked softly.

This rabbit doll was different from the others; it was pitch black all over, its ears drooping listlessly, its limbs curled inward, looking quite adorable.

"Because~ you treated me to a meal, so I had to give you a return gift, and I think it suits you perfectly!"

Arisu spoke with a playful lilt in her voice, and paired with her snow-white camisole dress, she looked truly endearing.

"Is that so? I like it very much."

Though he said this, Satsu's expression couldn't help but reveal a trace of imperceptible melancholy.

He was genuinely happy to receive a gift, if only the rabbit doll didn't contain a micro-camera inside.

"It's best that you like it; its eyes can see the stories that will happen to you later." (Sakayanagi Arisu)

Satsu clearly heard Arisu's inner voice. Given that he already knew Arisu wanted him expelled, the meaning behind these words couldn't be clearer.

At some point in the future, something would happen to Satsu, and the eyes of this rabbit doll could see it.

Naturally, one could conclude that there was a micro-camera on the doll.

"See what happens to me later?" Satsu muttered to himself in confusion.

Immediately, he cupped the rabbit doll in both hands and asked in a tone one might use to coax a child: "Little rabbit, little rabbit, what will happen to me later?"

As he spoke, he brought the rabbit doll's head close to his ear, listening intently as if the toy could actually speak.

"Next, you will be framed by Yamamoto Sae and expelled." (Sakayanagi Arisu)

Knowing Arisu's inner thoughts, Satsu slightly altered her words and spoke them aloud.

"Hmm~ the little rabbit told me that a girl is coming to find me later, and told me to be careful."

Hearing this, Arisu's expression froze for a fleeting moment, but she quickly returned to normal.

Did Yamamoto Sae betray me? No! That's impossible; the deal between Kato Satsu and Kuraku definitely exists.

In this situation, to actively defect would be no different from seeking death. People can't be stupid to that degree.

After thinking it over repeatedly, Arisu still chose to trust her own judgment, and she said playfully.

"Is that so? Then you must listen well to the little rabbit~"

As soon as he returned to his dormitory, Satsu couldn't wait to dismantle the micro-camera on the rabbit's eyes.

Looking at the tiny sphere in his hand, Satsu couldn't help but marvel at the precision of its manufacture; it was impossible to detect with the naked eye.

After confirming that there were no other bugs or micro-cameras on his person, Satsu sat quietly on his bed, waiting for Yamamoto Sae's visit.

Since the other party was determined to have him expelled, even if he found a way to avoid this crisis, it would only lead to more troublesome problems later.

It was better to face this issue head-on and resolve it, making the other party think twice before acting next time!

Sure enough, at eight o'clock in the evening, the crisp sound of the doorbell rang in Satsu's room.

Through the peephole, Satsu saw Yamamoto Sae's attire: a sexy professional outfit, the gray-white hip-hugging skirt perfectly outlining the girl's voluptuous curves.

The best part was the gold-rimmed glasses; paired with Yamamoto Sae's face, they were undoubtedly the finishing touch.

"Looking at it this way, this woman seems to have some charm; no wonder she could make Kuraku so obsessed." Satsu muttered to himself.

However, isn't this a bit too obvious? (Kato Satsu)

Previously, Yamamoto Sae and I basically had no interaction. To suddenly arrange for someone like this to come to my door, even a fool would be on guard. (Kato Satsu)

According to Arisu's genius persona, would she really choose Yamamoto Sae to execute her plan? (Kato Satsu)

Satsu's hand lingered on the doorknob for a long time. Should he play along with their scheme, or... expose their plot directly?

Actually, no matter what Arisu's plan was, Satsu wasn't worried.

After all, the moment he saw Yamamoto Sae through the peephole, he had already used his mind-reading ability to know everything.

Once she entered the room, she would strip, and Hashimoto and Kamuro would rush in with cameras to frame Satsu for attempted sexual assault of a female student.

But if that's the case, what was the purpose of the micro-camera? To make the plan fail? (Kato Satsu)

And is relying on the footage captured the moment Hashimoto and Kamuro enter the room to convict me a bit too confident and far-fetched? (Kato Satsu)

So far, Arisu's plan could be described as riddled with holes, which actually left Satsu feeling puzzled.

Satsu finally opened the door and let Yamamoto Sae in.

The atmosphere was indescribably eerie; although neither of them spoke, both were hiding plenty of things in their hearts.

"Ah! Don't!"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Yamamoto Sae finally began to take action.

While letting out a scream, she violently and frantically tore at her own clothes until that scene of spring was revealed. Only then did she stop her movements and look at Satsu.

The latter did not see this scene; he was squatting in the corner with his hands over his head, facing away from Yamamoto Sae.

Is this a normal reaction for a man?! (Yamamoto Sae)

Only a fool would refuse a free gift!

Besides, a normal man would have just closed his eyes and turned his head away in such a situation; after all, it was a sudden ambush.

Given Satsu's posture, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he knew exactly what Sae was going to do beforehand.

Seeing that the current scene could never be mistaken for a crime scene if recorded, Sae simply stepped forward and hugged Satsu from behind as he crouched on the ground.

"Ah! Sister, don't!" Satsu shrieked at the top of his lungs.

That shout nearly caused Sae's brain to short-circuit. A grown man, in front of a nearly naked woman, screaming something like that?

It was absolutely preposterous!

"No! You!" Sae's tone was filled with a mix of confusion and irritation.

Satsu didn't care about any of that and continued to wail at the top of his voice, "Don't! Don't do this!"

Hashimoto and Kamuro were the two who had supposedly arrived at the scene first, but in reality, they had been hiding in the nearby stairwell.

Unlike the scenario they had anticipated, what they saw was a disheveled woman pulling and tugging at a man.

Furthermore, Satsu appeared to be putting up a great deal of resistance, his tone sounding both innocent and somewhat naive, while Sae occupied the position of absolute dominance.

Hashimoto simply lowered the camcorder in his hands and said helplessly, "So... who exactly is molesting whom here?"
