"Oh, I made a slip of the tongue. It's okay. Let's just go into the dungeon together. We'll be leaving first."
Kato Megumi nodded obediently: "Well, see you in a week then."
..............
After leaving the alley for a distance and confirming that no one was following them, Asagiri, Yuuki Asuna, and Iwanaga Kotoko all took off their disguises.
"What you just said about five days later wasn't a slip of the tongue, but a test of Kato Megumi, right?"
Hearing Iwanaga Kotoko's question, Asagiri replied in a calm tone.
"Well, although Kato Megumi claimed that she had just cleared the dungeon and returned to the real world, which is why she met us at the Private Toyosaki Academy on Sunday, we can't rule out the possibility that she was lying. She subconsciously refuted my statement about five days later. While this can't be used as complete proof, it does increase her credibility."
"She...shouldn't have any reason to lie, right?"
Asuna Yuuki was not speaking for Kato Megumi, but after careful consideration, she gave what she thought was a reasonable judgment. After all, Asagiri had told her before that she should not always agree with opinions, but should have the ability to think independently.
After saying this, Yuuki Asuna continued.
"The player information displayed in the mobile app can't be faked. She really only has a talent that reduces her presence. Other than that, she has no items, equipment, or skills. It's like a blank slate. This is indeed a bit suspicious, but it could also be a coincidence. I can't imagine any motive for her to deliberately approach us in this way. After all, everyone who knew we were players is already dead."
Iwanaga Kotoko curled her lips and said, "Look at the words you used. Why do you make it seem like we're doomed?"
After saying this, Iwanaga Kotoko said thoughtfully.
"However, I agree with Yuuki-san. From our brief interaction, I've seen Kato Megumi's mental fortitude, calm thinking, and cautiousness are all excellent. Although her second dungeon clearance rating was low, she's truly a player with immense potential, and possesses such a powerful unique talent. If we could become teammates, she'd definitely be a great help in our future clearances."
"But after seven days..."
Yuuki Asuna frowned and muttered.
"Seven days from now, it's still Sunday. If I sign up that day, I'll be entering the dungeon on Wednesday, which is school time... But if I want to enter on Saturday like last time, the dungeon cooldown won't be over the following Wednesday, so I'll have to wait until the Wednesday after that to sign up again. That'll leave me with a long hiatus, which is a waste in the early stages of the game. Otherwise..."
Yuuki Asuna looked at Asagiri and asked tentatively.
"Shall we take Wednesday off next week?"
Asagiri thought for a moment, then replied with a smile.
"It's okay to ask for leave, but you have to make sure your homeroom teacher doesn't call your parents to confirm. After all, the teachers at the private Shuchiin are very responsible."
Hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Is Yuuki-kun the only one we need to worry about? What about you, Asagiri?"
Asagiri waved his hand and replied.
"It doesn't matter on my end. My homeroom teacher and I already reached an agreement. Besides, if you want to contact my parents, it won't be a phone call, it'll be a psychic communication."
"Psychic..."
Iwanaga Kotoko kept repeating this word, and suddenly she had an epiphany.
"So you are..."
Asagiri interrupted and stopped him directly.
"Don't say that. When someone says it, I feel like I'm being criticized."
057 Transfer Student Iwanaga Kotoko
The next day, Monday morning at 8:30, in the classroom of Class B at the Private Shuchiin Academy.
"Asuina~ Long time no see~"
Hearing this cute voice full of energy so early in the morning, Yuuki Asuna raised her head and looked at Fujiwara Chika who was jumping and running towards her with a sweet smile on her face. She couldn't help but smile and replied.
"It's just the weekend. How can you say it's been a long time since we last met?"
"As the saying goes, a day without seeing you feels like three years. This shows how much I miss you."
Chika Fujiwara sat down in her seat, first hung her shoulder bag on the hook beside the table, then turned her head, supported her chin with both hands, stared at Asuna Yuuki with a gossipy look, and smiled with interest.
"Did you make any progress with Utsunomiya-san over the weekend?"
"progress?"
When Yuuki Asuna heard this question from Fujiwara Chika, she was shocked at first, but then she realized that the progress the other party was asking about was probably some gossip about love, so she shook her head with a dumb laugh.
"There's no progress."
"Really? My love detective radar has already detected the scent of lying~"
In response to the question from Chika Fujiwara, who had put on that detective hat again and held a pipe-shaped candy in her mouth since who knows when, transforming into a love detective, Asuna Yuuki blushed slightly and looked around to talk about something else.
"Nothing really happened... No, you're always gossiping about me here, why don't you talk about yourself?"
"I?"
Fujiwara Chika tilted her head and showed a simple and sweet smile.
"But I don't have a boy I like."
"What about before?"
“That’s never happened before.”
Yuuki Asuna was a bit amused when she heard this, thinking, "You, who have never had any romantic feelings for anyone, actually call yourself a love detective? This is too outrageous!"
Then she looked at Fujiwara Chika curiously.
"So do you have a favorite type?"
"My favorite type...hmm..."
Fujiwara Chika held her chin with one hand and thought seriously for a while. Then she raised her hand, raised her white index finger, and smiled sweetly.
"That's right. I like someone who's taller. I don't have any particular requirements for looks, but being handsome is better. But the most important thing is that they can't be the weak type, but rather someone with a very strong personality and behavior, the type who would actively attack me. If I can be eaten by them, that's not a problem either~"
Yuuki Asuna was slightly surprised when she heard this and murmured.
"Your standards are really strange... Is there anyone like this in our school..."
When she was halfway through her words, Yuuki Asuna froze.
A tall, handsome guy with a very strong personality and a strong attitude who will take the initiative to attack...
Isn't Asagiri just this type?
It turns out that the love rival is in Honnoji?
...............
Later, in the classroom of Grade 1A.
"Ahem, before the class officially starts, there is something I need to announce."
Ashikaga Miwa, wearing a slim-fitting suit and gold-rimmed glasses, glanced at the students in the classroom and spoke slowly.
"Starting today, there will be a transfer student joining our class."
"Transfer student? At this time?"
After hearing what Ashikaga Miwa said, most of the students in Class A looked at each other in surprise.
Normally, the private Shuchiin Academy would not have any transfer students, especially the places in the high school department, which were all decided before the start of school.
And...if I transfer to another school, will I transfer directly to Class A?
Whose connections are these?
Ashikaga Miwa ignored the students' doubts, turned her head and looked outside the front door of the classroom, and said lightly.
"come in."
"Ok."
Accompanied by the sound of something hard tapping the ground, a petite girl with a delicate and lovely face, leaning on a cane, slowly walked into Class A's classroom, walked to Ashikaga Miwa's side, and spoke with a smile.
"Hello everyone, my name is Iwanaga Kotoko. From today on, I will be a student in Class A. Thank you for your guidance."
Seeing Iwanaga Kotoko's appearance, the students in the audience couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"What a beautiful girl... But... is she really a high school student?"
"This guy looks... like a middle school student..."
"What do you know? This is called Lolita, Lolita, understand?"
"Iwanaga Kotoko... this name sounds a little familiar, maybe I've heard it somewhere..."
While the students were whispering, Kotoko Iwanaga had already walked down from behind the podium and went straight to Kaguya Shinomiya. Although she was not wearing a beret, she still took off the hat, nodded slightly, and greeted her politely.
"Shinomiya-san, long time no see."
"It's really you..."
Shinomiya Kaguya's expression was very calm, without any emotion at all, she just spoke in a flat tone.
"I never expected you to come to Xiuzhiyuan to study."
What Iwanaga Kotoko said next made all the students present feel unbelievable.
"Actually, I don't really like Shuchiin. It's boring, decadent, and very old-fashioned. There's nothing fun about it. Originally, I had no intention of studying here."
The students in Class A were all confused.
No...transfer student, are you that awesome?
Although she has a petite body and a sweet and lovely appearance, how could she make such offensive remarks with such a petite and slender body and such a sweet and lovely face?
Boring, decadent, old-fashioned?
As a student of Shuchiin, she criticized Shuchiin so mercilessly in public. This girl's mouth is like a controlled knife.
"If you look down on Shuchiin so much, why did you come?"
Shinomiya Kaguya said expressionlessly, "You donated 5 billion yen to the school, directly secured a seat on the board of directors, then used the board's privileges to transfer to the high school department, specifically requesting to come to Class A. Your actions are logically contradictory to what you just said."
"Oh, you misunderstood. I really don't like Shuchiin. I transferred here just for one person."
After saying this, amidst the shocked and unbelievable gazes of the entire class, including the homeroom teacher, Ashikaga Miwa, Iwanaga Kotoko walked up to Asagiri, who was sitting in the corner of the classroom, and smiled sweetly.
"As promised, I came to see you~"
058 The other two players in Xiuzhiyuan
Asagiri nodded and replied with a casual smile.
"Well, then find a seat."
"Then I will definitely sit next to you."
Iwanaga Kotoko sat down in the empty seat to Asagiri's right without any hesitation, then held her chin with one hand and looked at him with a smile on her face.
At this moment, the classroom was completely silent. Even Kaguya Shinomiya, who was always calm and absolutely rational, found the scene in front of her a little unbelievable.
Donating 5 billion yen directly to the private school Shuchi Academy, not in installments but in one lump sum, was equivalent to directly purchasing a seat on the Shuchi Academy board of directors. Then, using the board's privileges, he could transfer directly to Class A of the first grade. All of this...
Is it all just for this Utsunomiya Asagiri-san?
What is this Tokyo Succubus? What is this Tokyo male version of Su Daji? What is this a lavish throw?
"Iwanaga Kotoko...is she his girlfriend..."
Kaguya Shinomiya raised her right hand and stroked her left cheek. This action helped her regain her composure and she thought silently in her heart.
The reason she knew Iwanaga Kotoko was that she had met her at a banquet hosted by the Shinomiya family when she was a child. At that time, Iwanaga Kotoko had not yet lost her right eye and left leg.
Kotoko Iwanaga's family is very rich. Although it is slightly less wealthy than the Shinomiya Group, if you really compare them, Kaguya Shinomiya's status is actually not as good as Kotoko Iwanaga's.
On the one hand, it was because of the rumors about the so-called illegitimate daughter. On the other hand, the current head of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Gan'an, the father of Shinomiya Kaguya, had many children. Shinomiya Kaguya was just the eldest daughter. Before her were her third brother Shinomiya Yunying and the current chairman of Shuchiin, Shinomiya Huangguang.
Iwanaga Kotoko's parents only have her as their child, and because of the kidnapping case when she was eleven years old, her parents dote on her very much and almost grant her any request.
Just like this time, if Shinomiya Kaguya had not been promoted to Shuchiin High School, the Shinomiya family would not have used the privileges of the board of directors for her. They would have thought that a loser who could not even pass the Shuchiin entrance examination was not worthy of having the Shinomiya family's surname, let alone directly donating 5 billion to Shuchiin.
