Sanzenin Nagi glanced back at the other two groups, who also only had one or two chances left, and took a deep breath.

Having come this far, and still suffering the humiliation of being held up in mid-air by Himegami with one hand, they are bound to win in the end.

"Question 32: In the Tomoyo route of the CL game, what dish did Tomoyo receive praise from Tomoya?"

beep!

"Congratulations to the Shuilian Temple group for winning the opportunity to answer the question. Please answer."

Despite being the center of attention, Kitagawa Kaimu fell into deep thought, his mind filled with hesitation.

Compared to the anime she often watches when she's bored, she's only played games once, so her memory of them is rather vague.

Furthermore, although Tomoyo's route is also very touching, she personally prefers Nagisa's route, which shares the same storyline as the anime.

What's coming?

Pumpkin soup?

If I remember correctly, this seems to be Tomoyo's best dish?

"correct answer."

Thump! Thump...!

As the platform shrank, the 3,000-unit group was the first to fall into the water.

Chao Huo Wan gritted his teeth and tried to hold on, but the area under his feet was too small, and he couldn't hold on at all, so he kept swaying from side to side.

Almost immediately, more than a dozen balloons came from a distance and hit him like cannonballs.

Although it was just a balloon, it still gave him a tremendous sense of impact.

He held on for less than two seconds before finally giving up and falling into the water along with his four companions.

"Sanzenin Group eliminated! Aki Group eliminated! Congratulations to Suirenji Group for winning the final victory."

As the platform gradually expands, a road connecting the stage where the host is located slowly appears.

Ayasaki Hayate seemed to have lost all her strength, lying on the ground, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

Kitagawa Kaimu and the other three got off his back, high-fived each other, and then helped him up.

"Ayasaki-san, well done! Thanks to you, we were able to fight those two monsters this time."

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Sa."

Did you win?

Ayasaki Hayate looked around and quickly noticed her parents, who were holding their heads in ecstasy, at the back of the audience.

Are they watching too?

Previously, he had no interest in these kinds of competitions, but his parents signed him up without his consent, saying that the family had run out of money and that by next month's payday, they wouldn't even have money for food, so they had to get the prize money.

Left with no other choice, he had to come and participate in the competition.

Moreover, they were fortunate enough to meet several teammates who were also short of money.

"Thank you, I'm fine now."

"Are you a monster too?" Kitagawa Kaimu couldn't help but stick out her index finger and gently poke his arm twice. "You look like just a skinny high school boy, but your strength is ridiculously great. It's unbelievable."

"I work part-time often, so I'm in good physical shape."

"I also work part-time all the time, so why don't I have this kind of skill?"

As he walked onto the stage, the host greeted him with a smile, introduced the current situation, and then said again:

"Let's give a warm round of applause to our winning contestants. Before we present the awards, let's have them introduce themselves."

"Captain Shuirenji Lujia has already introduced herself before we started, so let's start with the teammates."

"Ayasaki, we can see that you single-handedly supported four people for over ten minutes. Do you have superpowers?"

“No, this is the result of hard training.” Ayasaki Hayate shook her head repeatedly. “My name is Ayasaki Hayate, I am 17 years old and a second-year high school student.”

"What are your thoughts on winning this event? Or is there anything you'd like to say to others?"

“I am very grateful to Musashino for giving me this opportunity. I want to tell my parents that our family is starting to have money now. Don’t worry about the debt problem, I will find a way.”

At this moment, the host noticed a middle-aged couple waving frantically in their direction from the audience. He noticed the man's hair color was very similar to Ayasaki Hayate's and asked curiously:

"Ayasaki-san, are those two your parents?"

"Yes."

"In that case, let's interview Ayasaki's parents as well. Of course, time is limited, so I will have my assistant interview Ayasaki's parents. The follow-up interview will be broadcast tonight at 10 p.m. sharp."

The host then turned to look at the other team members.

"Taoyuan contestant, you've won the final championship. What would you like to say to your family?"

"No."

"Huh...? Does the Taoyuan player not have a good relationship with his family?"

Nanami Momozono hesitated for a moment before beginning her self-introduction:

“My name is Nanami Momozono, I am eighteen years old and a senior in high school. My mother passed away early, and my father gambled for many years. Last year, he ran away due to debts, and our house was taken away. When I had nowhere to go, I slept under a pedestrian bridge for five days.”

"Fortunately, I found a job in just five days, and the store manager even agreed to let me receive an advance on my salary."

"Life gradually returned to normal after that."

"If I could, I would just want to say to my dad that I will work hard to earn money to pay off the debts, and please come back soon."

The host looked surprised and unconsciously frowned.

"Excuse my bluntness, but what use is a father like that?"

"Dad must have his own reasons."

"Gambling addicts are beyond saving; they'll only ruin your life. But this isn't the time to talk about this. I'll have a proper talk with you after the event."

Following the order in which the people stood, the host then approached Shuilianji Lujia.

"Captain Suirenji, your hair color is very similar to Ayasaki's. Could you be related?"

"No, the hair color is just a coincidence; this is our first time meeting. However, our situations are quite similar."

Suirenji Luka took the microphone from Momozono Nanami, thought carefully for a moment, and slowly began to speak:

“My parents ran away last year after accumulating a debt of 150 million. After that, my situation was similar to that of my classmates in Taoyuan.”

"Fortunately, that afternoon, with a do-or-die mentality, I was well-received by many people during my interview at the entertainment company. I signed a contract, and the company paid off my debts on my behalf."

“I should have debuted as a singer last year. But Ogiso Setsuna was too popular at the time, and the company felt that the song they prepared for me was not good. If I debuted directly, I would definitely be crushed by Ogiso Setsuna.”

"After that, because Ogiso Setsuna often released new songs of extremely high quality, her debut was delayed from the beginning of the year until now."

"The reason I say that I am similar to Xiao Sa is because his parents also incurred a debt of 150 million last year."

"However, my parents managed to escape, leaving me all alone, and disappeared without a trace."

"His parents were caught while trying to escape, beaten up, and then forced to sign harsh contracts to work and pay off their debts."

The host was speechless. How come it's the same situation again?

"Jackson Kitagawa, you guys aren't like this too, are you?"

“No, neither Takatsuki nor I are like that,” Kitagawa Kaimu quickly said. “Takatsuki’s family is too big, they just don’t have money, but her parents are very good people. Me too, although my mother passed away early and my father is often away on business trips, he is still a very good person.”

The host took a deep breath and then said:

"Through the introductions of the contestants, we have gained a certain understanding of all five of them."

"Next, please welcome Mr. Hayase, President of Musashino Company, the organizer of this event, to the stage to present awards to the five individuals."

Chapter 362 I will fulfill your wishes.

Through the self-introductions just now, Masamune has gained a certain understanding of the five people.

Therefore, after taking the stage, he did not ask many questions and immediately began distributing the reward, which was a bank card with ten million yen in it.

"Each card contains ten million, which is the prize money we provide to the champion."

"At the same time, I can also grant each of you one wish."

"If you want to exchange your wish for money, the maximum is 20 million. As long as you are sure you want the money, we can transfer it at any time, to this card."

"So, what are your wishes?"

Noticing Masamune's gaze, Kitagawa Kaimu smiled and winked.

It's rare to win a championship, but to be honest, I don't seem to have any other desires.

Like her, the other four also remained silent.

If you convert it to cash, you can get an extra 20 million, but that's clearly the worst option.

"Don't you have any wishes? Or are you too embarrassed to say them out loud? I can listen to you talk about them in private, but that would make it difficult for the audience to know whether I have fulfilled your wishes."

"Furthermore, I think... the audience here and those watching on television must also be very curious about what your wishes are."

“I do,” Ayasaki Hayate couldn’t help but say. “If possible, please help me find a long-term job. That’s my wish.”

“I’ve worked many jobs since I was a child, such as delivering packages and newspapers, working as a restaurant server, temporary head chef, hotel server, front desk receptionist, and cartoonist’s assistant. I also helped my parents sell fake paintings. I can basically handle most jobs.”

"But for some reason, I've always been unlucky, and I haven't been able to stay in any job for very long."

"So, please help me find a long-term job."

Masamune was speechless, but upon reflection, it wasn't surprising.

Hayate Ayasaki's life has two major pitfalls: his parents and his luck.

The parents are being relentlessly pursued by debt collection agencies, leaving them no choice but to work diligently to pay off their debts. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, otherwise, the debt collectors would definitely take advantage of them and run away with the money from selling their son.

As for his luck, well, that's beyond my control.

If I let him come to Musashino, I feel like he'll be dragged down by his bad luck.

However, aside from his bad luck, he is indeed a talented person.

"No problem. You..."
