Crossover Anime: The Heroine is in Trouble? I Take Advantage of the Situation

Page 46

Have you fallen for it without even realizing it?

She sighed inwardly and decided to give up struggling. After all, she had no way to escape, did she?

So, she took the initiative to tiptoe, wrap her arms around Seiji Fujiwara's neck, and pressed her soft lips to his.

……

(good)

His tremendous success naturally made Seiji Fujiwara a highly sought-after figure.

The first institution to extend a cooperation offer to him was his alma mater—

Toyonosaki High School.

In the principal's office.

The principal of Toyosaki, an old man nearing sixty with graying hair, was so excited that his face was flushed and his hand holding the phone was trembling slightly.

Standing in front of him were several school board members and deans of studies, all with equally expectant faces.

"Hello? Is this...is this Seiji Fujiwara? I'm Principal Toyonosaki!"

"Ah, it's me, Principal. Hello." Fujiwara Seiji's nonchalant voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Fujiwara-kun! Congratulations on winning the Edogawa Rampo Award!"

The principal didn't mind at all, and instead said even more enthusiastically, "The school is proud of you! All the teachers and students are proud of you!"

After a long string of compliments and flattery, the principal finally revealed his true purpose.

"Um... Fujiwara-san, the school would like to invite you to give a speech on 'dreams and struggles' to the younger students. Would that be convenient for you?"

"Okay." On the other end of the phone, Seiji Fujiwara hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

These things are unavoidable.

Living in society, one naturally encounters various interpersonal interactions.

You take advantage of me, and I'll take advantage of you.

As for who ultimately benefits, that depends on who cuts their hands.

"Eh?!"

The principal was taken aback. He had prepared a whole speech, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so readily.

He exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful! But when is it scheduled?"

"You guys decide, just let me know when you've decided," Fujiwara Seiji said nonchalantly.

hang up the phone.

Unable to contain his elation any longer, the principal slammed his hand on the table and, addressing the board members and dean of students in the office, shouted in triumph:

"Fujiwara-san agreed!!"

"Very good!!!"

A huge cheer erupted from the entire principal's office!

Several usually venerable old men were now as excited as children, their bodies trembling slightly.

Chapter 47 Special Admission to Tokyo University! Next target... Eriri! (1/2)

……

three days later.

on Monday.

Morning assembly time at Toyonosaki High School.

The principal himself walked up to the podium, cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice:

"Students! Teachers! I have some fantastic news to announce!"

"This weekend, we will be honored to have a special guest return to our alma mater to deliver a wonderful speech!"

"This guest is none other than the author of the phenomenal light novel series 'A Certain Magical Index,' who just won the 61st Edogawa Rampo Award—"

He paused deliberately, then shouted the name out loud!

"—Fujiwara Seiji-kun!!"

boom--! ! !

After a second of deathly silence, the entire playground was instantly engulfed by a deafening roar of exclamations and discussions!

"Sure enough, I knew it!"

"Yes, I was stunned when I watched the live stream that day!"

"I never imagined that the genius novelist was actually our senior!"

"Fujiwara-sensei is my idol! I must get his autograph! No! A photo with him! I want to take a photo with him!"

The news spread like wildfire throughout every corner of the campus.

Those who had ever crossed paths with Seiji Fujiwara felt an extremely strong shock.

In the corridor of the teaching building.

Several boys who had once been on good terms with Kasumigaoka Utaha and had even harbored fantasies about her were now gathered together, their faces filled with dejection and despair.

"My youth is over." A boy leaned against the wall, his eyes vacant.

"I should have realized it sooner... How could a man who could win Kasumigaoka-senpai's heart be an ordinary person..."

"I used to think that once I got into Waseda University, I would compete fairly with Seiji Fujiwara. Now it seems I'm just a joke." A top student wearing glasses covered his face in anguish.

“Competition? Forget about it and go to sleep,” another boy retorted mercilessly, but his tone was full of bitterness.

All the boys who had fantasies about Shiyu have given up completely.

The look in their eyes when they looked at Seiji Fujiwara was no longer filled with jealousy, but only with admiration.

Beauty belongs only to the strong.

Fujiwara Seiji, however, was far superior to them in terms of talent, appearance, and social status.

invincible.

……

In the teachers' office.

Seiji Fujiwara's homeroom teacher, Mr. Sasaki, was surrounded by a group of colleagues.

Sasaki's face was filled with pride and relief as he repeatedly told his colleagues about his "impression" of Seiji Fujiwara.

"Sasaki-sensei! You're amazing! You've taught such a literary giant!"

"Yes, yes, you really have to tell us the story of Fujiwara-kun!"

"Did he show extraordinary talent very early on?"

The adored teacher Sasaki, while humbly waving his hand, began to boast and fabricate: "I saw it coming a long time ago!"

"Although Fujiwara-kun is usually low-key, his eyes are completely different from other students! They are full of insight into the world and wisdom beyond his age!"

"I knew then that he was destined to become a big shot!"

Of course, what she was really thinking was: Luckily... luckily I didn't make things too difficult for him because he often took leave.

Otherwise, I might already be considered a sinner by the whole school.

……

Art club activity room.

Eriri Sawamura, Spencer, sat blankly in front of her easel.

"Fujiwara-senpai..."

"Is it Prince Eikawa? Or the winner of the Ranpo Prize!?"

"I can't believe it... he's actually a senior from school!"

Eriri muttered to herself in a daze.

Although she had already seen the news, Eriri was already incredibly surprised when Seiji Fujiwara revealed his identity at the awards ceremony.

Although a long time has passed.

But the situation has not calmed down.

"This level... is far from enough!"

Looking at her own illustrations, Eriri gave a wry smile.

I once dreamed of becoming an illustrator for Mr. Xiaochuan, but now it seems I was being a bit presumptuous.

"However, we cannot let our guard down!"

"Eri, you need to work even harder!"

A fierce fighting spirit rekindled in her eyes!

……

The day before the speech day.

In the principal's office, Seiji Fujiwara sat leisurely on the sofa in the reception area.

The principal personally poured him water.

Several deans of students stood respectfully to the side, like subordinates, with friendly smiles on their faces.

"Fujiwara-kun, thank you so much for your speech!" The principal expressed his gratitude respectfully, as if he were addressing a higher-ranking figure rather than a student.

Seiji Fujiwara waved his hand and got straight to the point: "Let's skip the formalities. Headmaster, please speak frankly."

The principal and several board members exchanged glances.

"Fujiwara-san!"

The principal suddenly stood up, bowed, and said, "In order to allow you to concentrate more on your creative work, the Board of Directors has unanimously decided!"

"Starting today, all remaining attendance and examination requirements for you in Toyonosaki are waived!"

"We have only one small request..." The principal looked up and smiled ingratiatingly, "We hope that in the future, you can occasionally mention in public that you are a graduate of our Toyonosaki."

Upon hearing this, Seiji Fujiwara immediately smiled.

So that's what they were planning.

A renowned alumnus is a gold standard for student recruitment, especially in today's society with a declining birth rate.

“Okay, I agree.” Seiji Fujiwara nodded and readily agreed.

It is a fact that he graduated from Toyonosaki.

Even if no one says anything, there will always be other busybodies who will keep making a fuss about it.

So I simply agreed.

It's not a big deal.

Moreover, not having to worry about attendance checks or exams is quite nice for him.

"Thank you, Fujiwara-san!!"

The principal was thrilled when he heard Seiji Fujiwara agree.

He could almost see the scene of Toyonosaki's enrollment numbers skyrocketing next year!
