Tokyoites don't have martial virtue

Just then, Karasukawa Saki greeted him warmly and cheerfully: "Hello, Ozawa-senpai! My name is Karasukawa Saki, and I am the former head of the newspaper club."

"New, News Club..." Upon hearing this word, Ozawa's tone visibly wavered, becoming visibly frightened:

"I...I...I recognize you...Crow...New News...No, don't come any closer! Waaah!"

She slammed the door shut.

Kyushu Makoto looked at Karasukawa-senpai with a puzzled expression, and after thinking for a while, asked, "Is she afraid of the newspaper club?"

"I...I don't know either..." Karasukawa Saki looked completely innocent.

"I don't think Ozawa-kun has any connection with the newspaper club, right?" Ms. Jiangniao was also surprised.

Ozawa's mother also showed a displeased expression, clearly blaming them for causing unnecessary mental distress to their daughter.

In a moment of crisis, Kyushu Makoto quickly thought of a solution and shouted towards the door, "Ozawa-kun, the newspaper club has actually been disbanded! And I'm the one who disbanded it!"

Since she's afraid of the news department, how will she react upon hearing this news?

"Bang!" There was a loud noise coming from behind the door, as if Ozawa Fuyu had accidentally knocked over a water glass.

A moment later, the door opened again. The girl revealed her sinister eyes and asked, "You...you're telling the truth?"

"Absolutely true." Karasukawa Saki also took the initiative, stating frankly, "The newspaper club has been disbanded by this junior, and now I'm following him as a defeated foe~"

"Hmm..." The girl in the room suddenly gave a strange laugh. After a moment, she spoke fluently in an extremely resentful tone:

"Hehehe... How's Adachi Shin doing? Tell me... how is he!"

79. Undercover Investigation

"Adachi Shin?" Upon hearing this name again, Kyushu Makoto's nerves were stirred once more.

The girl behind the door said in a sinister tone, "It was him... he was the one who ordered it all... You've taken care of him, haven't you?"

"I'm sorry, Ozawa-senpai!" Karasukawa Sakifumi also tensed up: "You mean, all the harm you've suffered all this time has been orchestrated by Adachi Shin behind the scenes?!"

"It's...hehehe...it's him..." Ozawa Fuyu sneered, but then became somewhat afraid:

"He instructed him... It was Tomioka, a third-year student, who said it... I heard it all... He thinks I'm rich..."

"..."

After chatting briefly for a while, everyone got up to say goodbye.

According to Ozawa Fuyu's somewhat illogical description, it was Adachi Shin who used that group of bad students to target her, with the aim of extorting money from her.

At that time, Adachi Shin was not yet the Minister of the Press Department, but he had already joined the Press Department with his outstanding talent and had more power than ordinary students.

Ozawa Fuyuyu's dropping out of school also seems to have been arranged by Adachi Shin. She was unwilling to recall the suffering she endured at school that year and did not explain her experiences to the three of them in detail, but they must have been extremely painful.

Before leaving, Kyushu Makoto, feeling a little sorry for him, advised, "Teacher Jiangiao has been very worried about you. I hope you can cheer up again."

Ozawa Fuyuu visibly paused, her voice growing even weaker: "But I... I'm scared... The thought of running into Adachi Shin again after leaving home... running into that kind of terrifying person... I'm so scared..."

"I see." Kyushu Makoto nodded and asked:

"If I send Adachi Shin to prison, would you be willing to step out of the cell and start anew?"

"Hehehe...you guys...do it first and then talk..." Ozawa Fuyuu just let out a few pathetic laughs: "Hypocritical, don't give me that big talk..."

......

After leaving Ozawa's house, the three prepared to part ways at the train station.

"Kyushu-kun... are you joking about sending Adachi Shin to prison?" Teacher Etori showed some concern.

"I'm not kidding." Kyushu Makoto glared at Etori-sensei, his tone turning sinister.

"Isn't sending this kind of scum to prison for more than ten years the best outcome?"

"But...why would you go to such lengths for your teacher?" Teacher Jiangniao became anxious: "This is too dangerous..."

Kyushu Makoto lightly slapped Etori-sensei's cheek and snorted coldly:

"Don't flatter yourself. I'm not doing this for a scumbag teacher like you. I'm doing it for myself and Senior Xiaoze."

“If we arrest Adachi Shin, Ozawa-senpai might be willing to leave the room.” Kyushu Makoto clenched his fist and continued:

"Besides, I've suffered so much, and it's partly his fault. I can't let that scum live a good life and continue to harm society!"

After saying that, Makoto Kyushu left with Sakifumi Karasuka. Leaving Ms. Etori standing there, covering her face in astonishment.

......

The two arrived at the Karasawa-ya and found an empty table to sit down.

"It seems you've made up your mind, Kyushu-kun." Karasukawa Saki crossed her legs, resting her chin on her hand:

"Now it's my turn to step up!"

"You?" Kyushu Makoto frowned.

"Don't forget, I'm still in contact with Adachi Shin." Karasukawa Sakifumi said, taking out her phone.

"If I want to get close to him, it has to be me."

"Are you planning to go undercover?" Kyushu Makoto asked earnestly, his fingers interlaced. "He's not just some ordinary 'newspaper club senior,' he's a dangerous social criminal!"

"I know... I'm actually a little scared too." Karasukawa Saki sighed softly, gripping her trembling wrist:

"Adachi Shin is not only my senior, but also my mentor... I can't compare to him in any way, and I'm worried that he will see through my thoughts in no time."

"That's what I'm worried about too," Kyushu Makoto nodded.

"If you give yourself away in front of him, you'll not only alert him, but you'll also put yourself in danger. That would be a losing proposition."

Karasu Saki turned her head slightly and hesitated for a moment.

"I know all that..." she muttered to herself, "but you don't have any other good ideas, do you?"

"..." Kyushu Makoto could not refute this.

He originally intended to hire a detective to conduct the investigation. However, the detective industry in Wano Country isn't as glamorous as depicted in many mystery works. To put it bluntly, it's a group of unemployed people who can't find proper jobs, doing errands, finding cats, catching adulterers, and all sorts of odd jobs. There are quite a few unreliable and unethical detectives, and they can't be trusted entirely.

Moreover, the investigation fees charged by detectives are not small amounts; if a long-term investigation is conducted, the price will inevitably be in the tens of thousands.

After much thought, Makoto Kyushu couldn't think of a better method than "sending Karasukawa-senpai as an undercover agent".

"Kyushu-kun, actually I also have my own selfish motives." Karasukawa Saki shook her head slightly, clenching her fists:

"I hurt you so badly back then, even if you forgive me, I still feel guilty... At least let me take this risk for you once, and we'll call it even!"

Karasuka Saki let out a long sigh and continued:

"Moreover, Adachi Shinzo was the mentor who led me down the wrong path. Only by facing that man can I completely sever ties with my past self!"

"..." Kyushu Makoto thought seriously for a while, and could only give the order:

"Okay... but you have to report to me at all times. If you feel anything is wrong, tell me immediately. If you feel it's dangerous, stop the plan right away. Your safety is the most important thing."

Hearing him ramble on like that, Karasukawa Saki couldn't help but chuckle, covering her mouth as she laughed: "I know, Grandpa Kyushu~ Still as shrewd as ever~"

Then she suggested, "So, to make my undercover plan even more motivating, let's make a deal, Kyushu-kun!"

"What agreement?" Kyushu Makoto narrowed his eyes slightly.

"As a reward for asking me to help, you must unconditionally grant me one request~" Karasu Sakifumi said meaningfully.

"What are your requirements?" Kyushu asked.

"We'll see when the time comes~" Karasukawa Sakifumi gave a sly smile, tilting her head slightly. "I haven't decided yet~"

“No, you have to say it now.” Kyushu Makoto was very insistent: “Otherwise, I will reserve the right to refuse.”

"Hmm...you're so old-fashioned..." Karasukawa Saki pouted and muttered under her breath.

"After I get my driver's license, you'll come with me for a drive! Don't complain that I drive too fast!"

"Alright... I mean it." Kyushu Makoto reluctantly agreed, then added worriedly, "But try not to exceed the speed limit..."

"Don't worry, leave the rest to me!" Karasukawa Saki patted the boy's shoulder, gently squeezing it a few times with her fingers:

"King of Kyushu, wait for my good news!"

80. The Chef in the Chemistry Lab

The next day at noon, Karasukawa Saki nervously dialed Adachi-senpai's number, with Kyushu Makoto also present.

Since the newspaper club's collapse, Karasukawa Sakifumi has never contacted Adachi-senpai again.

【Gome-senpai, I accidentally ruined the news department that you built up~】 Karasu Saki would never say such a thing. She is not the kind of woman who would lower her head and act cute to apologize.

However, Adachi Shin probably had other acquaintances at the school, and he likely already knew about the bad news regarding the newspaper club.

After three busy tones, the call was finally connected.

"Hello, is this Karasu-kun?" A warm, sunny male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Why are you suddenly contacting me?"

"Adachi-senpai, you're really asking a question you already know the answer to~" Karasukawa Saki took a deep breath, deliberately putting on her usual extremely admiring expression towards her senpai:

"I'm really...really so sorry, senpai! The Newsroom..."

"I already know, the news department is gone, right?" Adachi Shin on the other end of the phone showed no surprise whatsoever, clearly already aware of the situation.
