In the anime, people are in everyday Tokyo, but they are playing the reincarnation game

Hearing Iwanaga Kotoko's words, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but look guilty...

Wait, that's not right.

Yuuki Asuna suddenly realized something.

What do I have to feel guilty about?

It's not like Iwanaga Kotoko was already dating Asagiri, and she took advantage of the fact that he was not in Tokyo to deal with a monster commission to steal his house.

Getting to know each other, becoming teammates, and entering the same school, it was obviously me who came first, right?

Thinking of this, Yuuki Asuna instantly gained confidence, frowned slightly, and replied righteously.

"Whatever Asagiri and I do, that's our freedom, right?"

"you you you..."

Iwanaga Kotoko said the word "you" three times in a row, but she seemed to have no reason to refute, and finally she could only hang up the phone angrily.

"how?"

Seeing that after Yuuki Asuna hung up the phone, she didn't look happy at all, but rather had a slightly complicated and melancholy expression, Asagiri asked with a chuckle.

"As the winner, shouldn't you be feeling proud and aggressive at this moment, pursuing Iwanaga Kotoko fiercely?"

"What winner... This isn't a battle..."

Yuuki Asuna sighed helplessly, holding her chin with one hand, with a melancholy look in her eyes.

"Kotoko really likes you. Once she finds out about us, the atmosphere as a team will definitely become a little awkward..."

"fine."

Asagiri waved his hand nonchalantly and said lightly.

"You can just delete her and Kato Megumi as friends, and go your separate ways from now on. It will just be a two-person team like it was at the beginning, with just you and me."

"What on earth are you talking about?"

Yuuki Asuna frowned slightly, and her expression became obviously unhappy. This was the first time she showed such a truly angry expression to Asagiri.

"Kotoko and Kato-san are, after all, companions who have experienced life and death with us. Didn't you say you would never abandon anyone? And now you're telling me that I have to abandon them just because our relationship has changed? I can't accept that."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Asagiri didn't have any special reaction, but just pretended to be very distressed and muttered to herself at a volume just loud enough for Yuuki Asuna to hear.

"Oh, this is troublesome. If jealousy leads to the team's disunity, it will be too dangerous, but we absolutely cannot go our separate ways. What should we do? It's really distressing. Is there any solution?"

After hearing this, Yuuki Asuna understood what was happening and was a little speechless.

"...What you just said about parting ways and returning to a team with just the two of us? That was just baiting me, deliberately trying to get me to express strong opposition so as to lead to what you're saying now, right? Ultimately... you just want to start a harem, right!?"

"Whether I want to or not is not the point."

Asagiri shook his head and replied seriously.

"It's just that now, the game we're playing has reached a new level. It's gone from just the safety of the four of us to a war between worlds, a matter of life and death for all of humanity. If a harem is the only way to a perfect ending, then I'm naturally obligated to do it."

Asuna Yuuki rolled her eyes and said unhappily.

"After saying so much, the fundamental reason is that you want to start a harem, right?"

Asagiri nodded sincerely and said without hiding anything.

"Yes."

"You...you're still here? You really are..."

Yuuki Asuna held her forehead, having lost the ability to organize her words due to Asagiri's blatant harem declaration and abstraction.

The only way to resolve the Shura Field dispute and keep the team going...

Is it really a harem as Asagiri said?

...............

Two days later, at around nine o'clock on Monday morning, in the classroom of Class A, first grade, at the private Shuchiin Academy.

Kotoko Iwanaga lay on the desk, resting her chin on her arms. Three big words that were beyond words were written on her cute and delicate little face.

No hehe.

After maintaining this expression for a while, Iwanaga Kotoko turned her head and stared at Asagiri who was sitting next to her, and said angrily.

"Hey, why don't you comfort me?"

Hearing this, Asagiri raised her head and looked at Iwanaga Kotoko, who looked unhappy and sulking, and replied with a chuckle.

"How do you do that? Let me play a tune for you?"

"no no no!"

Iwanaga Kotoko shook her head repeatedly and curled her lips.

"But I heard that what you call playing a tune means using that kazoo, right? You think you can coax me over so easily? No way!"

"Then this is for you."

Asagiri picked up a beautifully packaged shopping bag from beside her seat and handed it to Iwanaga Kotoko.

"This is..."

Kotoko Iwanaga took the shopping bag and took a peek inside. Inside the bag was a white beret similar to the one she usually wore.

"I didn't know what you liked, so when I was buying clothes, I picked this for you."

Hearing Asagiri's words, Iwanaga Kotoko, who was just angry, instantly changed the expression on her cute face from sadness to joy. She gently took the shopping bag into her arms and smiled sweetly.

"I knew you still loved me~"

Kotoko Iwanaga is the type of person who likes to be jealous, easily gets jealous, and has a bad temper, but is also very easy to coax.

"Iwanaga-san."

Kaguya Shinomiya, who was sitting a few seats in front of Kotoko Iwanaga, looking down at a book and taking notes, suddenly spoke in a calm tone.

"This is a classroom, a place for learning. Please don't say such things that affect others."

"hehe."

Iwanaga Kotoko sneered twice and said without showing any weakness.

"What does this have to do with you? I'm just saying this. Why, you're cramming for the exam right now when it's almost time? Humph, it's useless. You'll never be able to defeat Asagiri!"

Hearing this, Asagiri couldn't help but complain.

"Good fellow, can't you just pretend on your own? Why are you using my name to pretend?"

"There's nothing we can do."

Iwanaga Kotoko stood up, moved closer to Asagiri, lowered her head close to his ear, and spoke in a low voice.

"Although I am the God of Wisdom, when it comes to academic performance...I really can't beat her."

Seeing Iwanaga Kotoko whispering in Asagiri's ear, Shinomiya Kaguya stood up, walked slowly to Asagiri's seat, looked straight into his face, without any emotion in her red eyes, she just spoke slowly.

"Utsunomiya-san, can I interpret what Iwanaga-san just said as a challenge to me?"

The moment Kaguya Shinomiya said this, the whole classroom fell silent. The students who were originally chatting in groups of three or four all focused their attention on the corners of the classroom, looking forward to what would happen next.

Shinomiya Kaguya, this year's Shuchiin freshman... no, the most eye-catching person in the entire private Shuchiin Academy.

On one side is the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, blessed with all kinds of halos. She is a perfect young lady with impeccable skills in sports, appearance, grades, manners, and interpersonal relationships.

On the other hand, on the first day of school, he played his name throughout the Shuchiin Academy with the notes of kazoo. He was obviously a mixed-school student who had just enrolled in high school, but he came to the private Shuchiin Academy with a domineering attitude. Even the homeroom teacher Ashikaga Miwa, who was a member of the board of directors, was extremely permissive towards him for some unknown reason. Since enrolling in school, he has not revealed any weaknesses. The eldest daughter of the Iwanaga family spent 5 billion cash to stay in the same class with him, the mixed-school devil of the high school department.

Which side...

To achieve victory?

How will Utsunomiya Asagiri respond to Shinomiya Kaguya's declaration of war?

Amidst the expectant and nervous gazes of his classmates, Asagiri raised his head and looked at Shinomiya Kaguya. From the perspective of composition, Shinomiya Kaguya, who was standing and looking down at her, should have been more imposing. However, the fact was just the opposite. Asagiri, who was just sitting there, could still make people feel his confidence as an absolutely strong man even from an upward perspective.

"Shinomiya Kaguya..."

Asagiri said this softly at first, but then shook her head, looked directly into Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes, and smiled slightly.

"Am I challenging you? How shameless! I am number one, the strongest. Anyone who comes before me is only a challenger. The only goal I can see is the number one position. As for you..."

"I'm sorry, but I can't see you at all."

After hearing what Asagiri said, the students around him were shocked at first, but after a few seconds, they felt it was natural.

That's right, Utsunomiya-san... is that kind of person.

"Can't you see me?"

Shinomiya Kaguya's expression remained calm as always, and she simply spoke softly.

"After this exam, you will see... no, you will only be able to look at my back from behind."

"Oh? Are you going to challenge me?"

Asagiri stood up slowly. Although Kaguya Shinomiya was tall, she was still much shorter than him who was over 1.8 meters tall, and even her aura was suppressed.

"You have to think clearly."

Asagiri's black eyes met Shinomiya Kaguya's ruby-like eyes, their gazes collided in mid-air, and Iwanaga Kotoko...

Kotoko Iwanaga was too short and was completely blocked by these two people. She could only stare at Kaguya Shinomiya with a vigilant look, not wanting her to get too close to Asagiri.

"I am a mixed-school student, and you are a pure-school student."

"I don't take Shinomiya Kaguya seriously, but if you are willing to shoulder the honor of a pure academy student and challenge me..."

Asagiri looked down at Kaguya Shinomiya with a smile on her face.

"Then perhaps I will accept your challenge, which is like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, just for fun."

088 The highly anticipated spring exam

"A mayfly shaking a tree..."

Shinomiya Kaguya murmured to herself in an inaudible voice, then raised her head, looked directly into Asagiri's eyes, and said lightly.

"Are you deliberately provoking me? Junyuan's reputation... This is not something I can shoulder on my own."

"Oh, you're not fooled?"

Hearing Asagiri's words with a smile, Iwanaga Kotoko was a little surprised, thinking, how can there be someone like you?

It would be fine if he just used provocation, but why did he admit it so directly?

This is too honest.

Just as Iwanaga Kotoko was thinking this, she heard Asagiri change the subject.

"But no matter what you say, in the eyes of others, you are challenging me with the reputation of Junyuan on your shoulders. You should be aware of this in your heart, right?"

Faced with Asagiri's words, Shinomiya Kaguya could not refute.

There has never been anything like this in the history of Shuchiin.

Kaguya Shinomiya, the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, is of noble birth, has impeccable manners, and is excellent in both academics and sports. In addition, the current chairman of Shuchiin is Shinomiya Huangguang from the Shinomiya family. With all these factors added together, Kaguya Shinomiya is the best and most perfect among the students in the school.

But Utsunomiya Asagiri is the complete opposite.

His speech, behavior, and style of doing things are completely unlike the rigid and dull ones of most students in Xiuzhiyuan. What stands out is his abstractness and eccentricity. Moreover, he just enrolled in the high school department. On the first day of school, he denied the tacit distinction between pure colleges and mixed colleges among the students in Xiuzhiyuan in public, and his remarks were very aggressive.

Utsunomiya Asagiri and Shinomiya Kaguya are both excellent, and are at the top of Shuchiin in terms of both academics and sports, but other than that, the two have no similarities.

Kaguya Shinomiya was not the only one who was looking forward to the arrival of the spring exams and hoping that she would win. Some of the arrogant pure school students, because of their own lack of ability, knew that they could not beat Asagiri, so they could only arbitrarily place their hopes on Kaguya Shinomiya, thinking that after the other party won, they, as pure school students, could take advantage of the other party's power.

but...

What if Kaguya Shinomiya loses?

She didn't want to lose, nor could she afford to lose. After all... she was the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family and bore the Shinomiya surname. She could not accept the shame of losing to anyone in study as a student.

"You can say whatever you want, but..."
