Why is the Demon King like this?

On Tuesday morning, regarding the price for inexplicably angering Shiraishi Chizuru, Ao Keisuke gave her the remaining amulets.

On my way to school, I visited the not-so-famous kendo club at Kukai Private High School, only to find out it was also a tea house—wealthy second-generation kids used it as a social venue.

The pretty girls in the company were quite interested in him, but the guys were full of hostility.

Keisuke Ao had no interest in getting involved with these people, so he simply took his leave.

In the afternoon, Yuto Nakagawa shamelessly dragged me to the soccer club again, where I watched the soccer team's training and a small match.

"How about it? Let's play some brotherly football!" Nakagawa Yuto said confidently.

"I'll consider it, but I need to go home and feed the cats now."

"Come and kick it a couple of times!"

"I'm going back to feed the cat."

"Come on, come on, just kick me a couple of times, I'll fight you one-on-one."

"If you keep holding my hand, I'll kick your head off."

"That's terrifying!"

After leaving the soccer field, Keisuke Ao didn't go back immediately. Instead, he visited several well-known clubs, such as the drama club, tea ceremony club, and karate club. He even went to the cooking club and managed to get some wagashi (Japanese sweets) made at their club event.

Unfortunately, both the red bean filling and the skin were just average, and the texture and taste were not very good. It was beyond what Keisuke Ao had expected.

"How does it taste, Qinggui-kun?" asked Hazuki Oda, the president of the cooking club, with great confidence.

"Um……"

Qing Gui recalled that Shiraishi Chizuru's lunchbox at noon also contained desserts, but the taste was very different.

"Unique flavor."

Before even answering, the idea of ​​joining the cooking club had already been rejected.

After that, he didn't go to any more places to visit. While sitting on the train home, Ao Keisuke received a message from Shinbata Yui.

I'll come see you tonight (* /ω＼*)

"Would you like sake, beer, or... my chewing sake?"

Keisuke Ao ignored it and opened Rena Kobayashi's chat window to chat with his junior and calm down.

Ignore the bunch of disappointed, crying, and angry hippo emojis from last night, and start reading from the "Goodnight" post.

"Senior~ I'll tell you a big secret!"

You mustn't tell anyone!

"Senior??? If you don't show up soon, I'm not saying anything more!"

"That's an absolute secret!"

Is inserting strange symbols between the lines a common practice today?

Although his reply was late, and it drew a long string of stares from the girl, Aokiji still replied anyway:

"Sorry for the late reply, so what's the secret?"

"Listen to me, listen to me~"

Rena Kobayashi replied immediately: "I twisted my ankle during PE class this morning..."

Is this person seeking comfort from me?

Keisuke Ao smiled and was about to reply when Rena Kobayashi sent another message.

"So I went to the school clinic..."

"result……"

"result……"

"Senior, you have to promise you won't tell anyone!"

Medical clinic?

Keisuke Ao raised an eyebrow. Could it be that idiot Chizuru Shiraishi did something strange after obtaining the amulet, and Rena Kobayashi saw it?

"Yes, I promise."

Rena Kobayashi took a screenshot of Keisuke Ao's words and saved it. She stared at it for a few seconds before chuckling to herself, her two cute braids swaying back and forth.

"I have a feeling that Dr. Shiraishi is in love! And the person he's dating is very likely a teacher at our school!"

When I went there this morning, I found her arranging two bento boxes, and she even had that kind of smile like a female lead in a TV drama.

Ah, so that's what it is... But it's not exactly something boring.

"What kind of smile does the female lead have?" Keisuke Ao replied.

"Hey ya~ Senior, wait a minute!"

"Hippopotamus shy.jpg"

"?"

After waiting for about two minutes, the train passed a station, and Rena Kobayashi sent me a photo. It showed a girl with slightly flushed cheeks and a shy smile. Her watery eyes seemed to be looking at the screen, or perhaps at her hands.

—It's a selfie.

"That's... kind of feeling, isn't it cute?"

"Well, objectively speaking, it's like the last bento box on the shelf at midnight, it's that cute."

"What?! Is this a compliment or a mockery?!" Kobayashi Rena exclaimed anxiously.

"The feeling of the last customer at night seeing the last bento box they wanted."

"ah!!!"

Rena Kobayashi fell all over the bed, kicking her little feet happily everywhere.

"That's a compliment!!!"

"That senior is really not frank~ Hmph, but when did you become such a good conversationalist?"

Rena Kobayashi then carefully took a screenshot of the entire chat history and saved it to a photo album that required a password to unlock.

Hehehe~

"Hippopotamus smugly.jpg"

Speaking of which, why does this guy like hippos so much?

After thinking for a moment, Aokiji decided not to ask about this topic, which might lead to a lingering conversation even after he got home. Instead, he turned to Kobayashi Rena and asked her about the important matter at hand.

"Judging from your updates, it seems you're not planning to continue working. Are you considering joining any clubs?"

"Does the senior want to come with me?"

"No, it's just for reference."

"What a troublesome senior!"

Kobayashi Rena complained – she clearly wanted to rekindle her romance with her adorable self, but she didn't dare to honestly admit it!

But this kind of senior is also very cute! SUKI!

Rena Kobayashi quickly changed her posture and enthusiastically shared the information she had recently gathered with Keisuke Ao.

"Listen to me, listen to me! I recently found out that there's an incredibly amazing club at our school!"

"Oh?"

"It's true! There's a club in the club building that doesn't post recruitment notices to the public, but there's a poster that's been up for two years and nobody dares to take it down."

Legend has it that the company president is an extraordinary heiress from a wealthy family; even the headmaster of Kukai High School has to curry favor with her!

"There really are people like that?"

"This is the first time I've heard of this either! I even took a picture of that poster at the clubhouse!"

I randomly clicked on the photo sent by Rena Kobayashi, and at first glance, I could tell it was a poster with a high level of aesthetic taste. It featured a few lines of text against a light blue sky background:

"If there is any wish that must be fulfilled, and you are willing to pay any price, then pray sincerely to our company."

Put your wish in an envelope, along with a coin retrieved from the wishing well. Hand it to our office, and if we grant your wish, it will come true.

Of course, this is on the premise that one is willing to pay the price that is due and will never be equivalent.

above. "

The signature in the corner reads "Pandora".

These few simple words, however, were seen as extremely arrogant boasts by the Demon King, immediately piquing his interest.

So-called wishes are not meant to be destroyed, but to be realized?

The difference in difficulty between the two is like heaven and earth.

What kind of arrogance does this so-called heiress have to be to dare to say such nonsensical things?

However, since a price was demanded, it was more like the actions of a demon, so it couldn't be considered any kind of saintly possession.

"That's interesting!"

Keisuke Ao saved the photos, determined to see for himself if he ever had the chance to see for himself whether the so-called "Pandora" truly possessed such abilities!

I've found some fun again.
