The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 289 In the Name of Youth (10)

With everyone's concern, Yui Komaeda finally opened her heart and began to tell the cause of the incident.

"Sakurai...she got the title of Miss Taniuga in the previous term by cheating."

In the first sentence, Komaeda broke a bombshell.

"What?" Sato was surprised: "Are you serious?"

Komaeda Yui nodded: "After the selection was over, I heard it in the toilet. The vote counter was Sakurai's people... I just wanted to continue listening, but they went out. I was afraid of being discovered, so I continued to wait for a while, but when I went out, I found that they were outside..."

Ono Haruna was surprised and asked, "Doesn't this mean that you have been discovered?"

Miyamoto Yuzhi crossed his arms and asked seriously, "You discovered their secret, so you will definitely be silenced next, right?"

Everyone else's eyes were focused on Yuzhi Miyamoto.

"It's just a joke." Miyamoto Yuzhi yelled, "Hey, why are you all looking at me like I'm stupid? You're acting like I'm serious."

Ono Haruna sighed and said, "Don't make things more complicated at this time. Yui, please continue. What happened after you were discovered? Did they threaten you? Or did they start bullying you?"

Komaeda Yui was silent for a moment, then said, "Sakurai asked me what I heard, and I said I didn't hear anything. She nodded and left... After that, she didn't bully me. Instead, she started to greet me like an acquaintance, and occasionally invited me to play with them, even though we had no contact before."

"Strange? Why is this happening?" Sato asked, "Isn't she afraid that her secret will be exposed?"

"Because no one will believe it." Suzuki adjusted his glasses and said, "Sakurai is a popular figure in the school. She often organizes girls and boys to play together, so she has a good relationship with both boys and girls. If Yui tells others, no one will choose to believe her. Instead, they will think she is spreading rumors."

Sato suddenly realized: "So, Sakurai didn't bully or threaten Yui, but instead showed kindness to her, because Yui was not a threat to her at all?"

"To be honest, I feel very happy when I play with them." Yui Maeda lowered her head and said, "It's like I have become a popular person like them."

Qian Xiaoyi leaned against the door and curled his lips. In the closed environment of the school, unlike adults who divide students into different levels based on grades, students have their own way of dividing their status. Those who are sunny, good-looking and capable are undoubtedly the highest-ranking class in this environment.

The remaining students who desire to be recognized will try their best to get closer to this group, imitate their behavior and speech, and take pride in it. Slowly, a group is formed.

A nobody like Yui Komaeda, who is usually ignored by others, naturally wants to join this dazzling group, but Qian Xiaoyi guessed that the other party did not take her seriously.

Sure enough, Xiao Maeda Yui continued, "Sakurai and the others once praised me, saying that I would be very beautiful if I dressed up a little. If I participated in the Miss Taniyama selection event, I would definitely be admired by everyone. Moreover, as friends, they would get people to vote so that I could at least advance to the next round..."

Then she signed up in a daze, even she wanted other people's attention.

"But why did you run away again?" Kawasaki was very puzzled: "And you did that kind of thing in public?"

"Because they want to use me." Yui Komaeda clenched her fists.

A few days ago, after signing up, Yui Maeda told them about it happily, and then received their encouragement and support, and said they could take out their cosmetics to help her dress up, and asked her if she wanted to go shopping on the weekend. Yui Maeda believed it and left happily, but she suddenly remembered that she had something to do on the weekend, so she wanted to go back and tell them, but when she walked nearby, she heard them laughing loudly.

"That fat pig, does he really think he's good-looking?"

"Hahaha, you said something like 'you'll look better if you dress up'. I feel sick myself when I say that."

"But for this election campaign, I still have to rely on her to canvass votes. I've kept her for so long, I might as well make use of her as a waste."

"The kind-hearted Ms. Sakurai speaks up for the ugly girl and criticizes those who judge people by their appearance... Hahaha, what a great script."

"If the vote counters hadn't been replaced this time, I wouldn't have praised that fat pig against my conscience."

Miyamoto Yuzhi frowned and said, "I didn't expect that those women who usually look so pure actually have such disgusting thoughts in private! They are so vicious."

Suzuki and Ono Haruna rolled their eyes. Only a big fool like this would really think that Sakurai and his gang were so pure. In the eyes of girls like them, those people's attitudes were extremely artificial. So after hearing what Komaeda Yui said, they were not surprised at all.

Kawasaki nodded and said, "And because you didn't want to be used by Sakurai, you told them that you played the game of fox, dog and raccoon, and then you pretended to be a ghost to scare Sakurai?"

The incident was just as Kawasaki said. Yui Komaeda wanted to expose the other party in public, but she didn't dare.

So she got excited and wanted to act like a ghost to scare Number One, but she didn't expect that she had been trained so well in the horror house training before, and she played the role of the female ghost very vividly. Coupled with the previous psychological hints, she frightened Number One paralyzed at once, and everyone's attention was focused here. The timid girl had to choose to escape.

Even after walking around in a circle, she returned to the activity room and wanted to play the fox, dog and cat game, but she really attracted the vengeful spirit. At this time, she would rather her lies come true than continue to face what happened next.

"This actually happened..." Kawasaki sighed, "So when you were playing Fox, Dog and Tanuki yesterday, you wanted to use the game to tell us why you didn't want to participate in the cultural festival...but why did you run away in the end?"

"I... I dare not say it." Xiao Maeda Yui lowered her head and said, "If everyone in the Psychic Department knew that even someone like me wanted to participate in the selection event, they would definitely look down on me."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and consoled them: "No, not only that, we will cheer for you..."

"Yeah, Yui, don't be so self-deprecating."

“I’ll vote for you.”

"Stop lying!" Xiao Maeda Yui suddenly interrupted them and said loudly: "You must think that I am overestimating my own abilities, right? After all, people like me, who have no sense of existence, don't deserve other people's attention at all! I am very grateful that you are willing to listen to me, but I don't need charity! I don't need it!"

She rushed out of the activity room crying, leaving everyone in the room staring at each other.

Qian Xiaoyi yawned and said, "Ha~ Youth... Hey, Kawasaki, pay the commission fee. I want to go back too."

"Ah... yes." Kawasaki was a little dazed. He said as he took out his wallet.
