The Otherworld Card Collector

However, her expression changed when she looked at Setsuna Sasaki, and then she turned around, looked at Reina Hamasaki with a determined look, and stretched out her hand.

"Let's play rock-paper-scissors and decide the winner in one go."

"it is good--"

——I’m so unwilling!

If I had known earlier, I should have played it two out of three!

Kuroda Hikaru looked at Reina Hamasaki who was putting away the holy sword. Although his emotions were not so volatile as to grit his teeth, he did feel uncomfortable.

But then I thought, hey, I can go to Matou's house to read comics on weekends. She will read comics and Matou will examine her. Wouldn't that be great?

So he turned to collect Matou's One Finger Zentangle.

My entire campus life was relatively smooth.

Sawaga Taisuke didn't come to school today. In fact, everyone noticed his empty desk, but no one expressed regret or sorrow.

What Japanese people are best at is reading the atmosphere.

From this point of view, Sawaga Taisuke's "dropping out of school" seems to be what everyone expected.

The reason for putting quotation marks is that Taisuke Sawagenaga did not drop out of school. The school cannot force someone to drop out, but it unilaterally helped Taisuke Sawagenaga to take a leave of absence, which is possible under the rules.

Taisuke Sawagenaga was on indefinite leave of absence from school, and the school didn't think he had the courage or face to come back to class.

It only takes a long time to boil a frog in warm water. Gradually, Taisuke Sawagenaga can't stand it anymore and will choose to drop out of school.

The whole class and even the whole school had the same view, which undoubtedly made people like Kurumizaka Ruri feel much better.

That's good.

After all, not everyone can be like Shirou Matou, who has basically no regrets about what he does, and once he decides to do something, he will be relatively rational and do his best.

Such as now.

After returning home from school, Shirou Matou and Hiramatsu started chatting while Kurumizaka Ruri and others came to their house for evening tutoring.

The content is naturally related to Yasusuke Sawagenaga.

"I told Dr. Amemiya what you said."

Pingsong was lying on the sofa, the TV was on, the air conditioner was on, and various snacks were scattered all over the floor, some eaten and some not, but fortunately there were no comic books, which meant that Pingsong at least listened to him and did not enter his bedroom when he was not at home.

But if Shirou Matou remembers correctly, he also said that he wanted to keep the house clean, right?

Listened, but not completely listened to.

Hiramatsu is selectively obedient. He is more like a cat than a dog.

Garfield?

Ha ha.

Shirou Matou found a relatively clean place and sat down.

"Then how did she react?"

"She said she knew."

Hiramatsu answered briefly and concisely, and Matou Shirou nodded without saying anything else.

On the other side, Dr. Amemiya was also thinking about the problem.

She knew Hiramatsu well. He was the type of person who would delay until the last day and would never take action on the second to last day.

As a result, I just issued the ultimatum yesterday, and before the deadline, Pingsong called me back.

There are two possibilities. One is that Pingsong was just doing it perfunctorily. The second is that she was indeed working, regardless of whether she was serious or not, but she was indeed working, so she happened to find someone who was qualified. The third possibility is other situations.

But in either case, Amemiya didn't think Hiramatsu would betray him.

After working together for so many years, she understood that as long as she could ensure that Pingsong could live a comfortable life, Pingsong would never have any complaints.

And apart from her, what other idiot would provide retirement support for a loser like Hiramatsu?

Thinking of this, Amemiya's gaze returned to the boy standing in front of him with a very restrained posture, an inferiority complex, sensitive and haggard look.

She put on her familiar haha expression again and laughed.

"Hahaha, welcome to our research institute, Mr. Sawada Taisuke, have you made your decision?"

"Well, Dr. Amamiya, I volunteer to participate in the experiment you mentioned."

...

Chapter 69: You are the only male in the whole experiment, so feel free to do it!

Taisuke Sawagenaga's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was trembling when he said this.

But he decided to participate anyway.

the reason is simple.

"But Dr. Amamiya, you won't go back on your word about the money we agreed on, right?"

He needs money badly.

Now my reputation in school is completely ruined. Although I didn't drop out, my situation is no different from that of a dropout.

At home, his parents looked at him strangely, as if to say, "If you were not our son, we would have kicked you out of the house long ago."

Very depressing.

Home should be a warm haven, but it feels like a stuffy cellar, making it difficult to breathe.

His life is over!

"Why did I have the nerve to grab that bottle of SSS-0721?!"

Sawaga Taisuke felt regret in his heart more than once.

However, he did not realize that no matter how much he regretted it, he regretted that he should not have taken the medicine, not that he should not have done this.

Sawaga Taisuke is a man who will not change his bad habits even when he is about to die.

Fortunately, Shirou Matou was magnanimous and gave him a way out.

Just when Sawaga Taisuke was desperate and thinking about taking a knife to take revenge on society, Dr. Amemiya called him after communicating with Hiramatsu.

You know, this information doesn't cost much, and Amemiya also learned about Sawaga Taisuke's current situation before making the call, so the first sentence attracted Sawaga Taisuke.

"Sawaga Taisuke-kun, although you are notorious in this area, you are completely socially dead."

"But the island nation is so large, the school won't let a school-wide scandal like this spread freely."

"Do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?"

"It means that if you go to a city far away from here, even if you can't continue your studies there, you can still live as a normal person."

There was light in Sawaga Taisuke's eyes.

It was at this time that Dr. Amemiya spoke again.

“But there’s a prerequisite.”

"What premise?"

"You need money. You need money to get on with your feet in a strange city."

"And I have an invitation for an experiment that's definitely not dangerous for you, and it'll pay you one million yen."

"Sawaga Taisuke, what do you think?"

Taisuke Sawaonaga walked out of his memories, his eyes focused on Dr. Amemiya's playful expression after he opened his mouth, which took up most of his face like a slit-mouthed woman, and he couldn't help swallowing.

If the other party goes back on his word, then he is really finished!

"Of course, since you're willing to participate in our institute's experiments, then based on our reputation, we naturally won't deduct your reward. Of course, I know that words alone are not enough, so you can carefully review this contract and sign it after confirming that it is correct."

Dr. Amemiya handed the contract on the table to Sawano Yasusuke.

But how could Taisuke Sawagenag's brain understand the twists and turns in the contract? He just pretended to think seriously. In the end, when he saw the words "guaranteed to give one million yen" written directly on the contract, his eyes lit up and he immediately signed his name with a wave of his hand.

Dr. Amemiya's grin widened even further, and a mixture of joy and malice arose from his expression, causing Sawano Taisuke to shudder.

After signing his name, he belatedly asked.

"Doctor, you are sure it won't cause any harm to my body, right?"

"Of course, and I can guarantee that not only will you not feel any pain, but you will feel great instead."

Dr. Amemiya made an 'OK' sign and moved his other finger in and out.

Sawaga Taisuke understood the hint immediately, then widened his eyes and said in disbelief.

"Really, really?"

"Realer than real gold."

Dr. Amemiya spread out his left hand.

"I can assure you that you are the only male among those who underwent this experiment."

Sawaga Taisuke, who had felt that his life was becoming dark, suddenly saw the light. The pain in his waist and legs disappeared, and he walked with vigor and power, holding his head high and chest out.

Sure enough, when life is at its lowest point, no matter how far you go, it’s always upward!

Taisuke Sawagenaga never expected that his virginity would be liberated in this experiment!

Sawaga Taisuke was full of motivation. He clenched his fists and spoke happily to Dr. Amemiya.

"Don't worry, doctor. I will prove to you that my genetic material is absolutely the best."

"Well, well, I believe you have the best genetic material, Sawaga Taisuke-kun."

After all, a fool like you who has no brains but a good body is most suitable to be a guinea pig. From this point of view, your genes are indeed very excellent.

But since we're talking about this.

Dr. Amemiya did not forget the communication between him and Hiramatsu.

Sawaga Taisuke is a fool, but she doesn't think her IQ is on the same level as Sawaga Taisuke's.

Taisuke Sawaga was thinking that he was doomed and didn't know what to do next.

He racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.

What Dr. Amemiya learned from Hiramatsu and what he investigated himself confirmed that Sawanaga Taisuke was framed.

It doesn't matter who framed him.

On the contrary, Amemiya should thank that person very much. If he hadn't framed Sawanaga Taisuke, how could he have obtained Sawanaga Taisuke's experimental body.

So she needs to take the initiative to ask questions.

But not now.

Let’s wait until Taisuke Sawaonaga finishes the experiment.

Dr. Amemiya is well aware of the psychological trauma that hybridization experiments can cause to normal people.

By then, there is a high probability that Sawaga Taisuke will have a mental breakdown, and that would be the best time to take advantage of the situation.

But she still mentioned it.

"By the way, Sawaga Taisuke-san, have you noticed anything strange at school these days?"

"what?"

"Let me put it another way. Is there anyone who is against you at school?"

"I feel like everyone in school likes me. No one has any problem with me."

Sawaga Taisuke looked confused, but as a loyal Matou Kuro, he spoke without hesitation.

“But there’s one person I really hate.”
