Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

She probably doesn't even know what the rules of the competition are; she just signed up because she saw a lot of people doing it and thought it was interesting!

If Akutsu knew about Tsuchimikado Fuyu's guess, he would definitely give him a thumbs up, because Tsuchimikado Fuyu's guess was completely correct. Even when he and Sumino Sayaka tried to persuade her, they couldn't get Hanabatake Yoshiko to give up on registering.

"Tou?" Seeing Tsuchimikado Tou's slightly furrowed brows, Takanashi Rikka looked at him with confusion, thinking he was nervous. She squeezed his hand and said, "Don't worry, Onmyoji are second only to the Evil Eye. We will definitely win this competition."

Although Tsuchimikado Fuyu knew that Rikka had misunderstood, she didn't refuse her kindness. She patted Rikka's head and said with a smile, "Thank you! I'll try my best."

"That's enough, you two! Stop showing off your love in front of me!" Isshiki Makoto said angrily when he saw the two of them starting to show off their love again.

"If you're so capable, why don't you throw one yourself!" Tsuchimikado Fuyu raised an eyebrow at Isshiki Makoto and teased, "Weren't you planning to confess to Kumino-senpai at the school festival? Why haven't you gone yet?"

"How can you do something like this so hastily! You need to be in the right place and the right atmosphere to successfully confess your feelings!"

Isshiki Makoto said unhappily, "I really don't know how you managed to win over Takanashi and Kuroneko. You're such a wicked, super-popular guy."

"Hehe, good luck then." Tsuchimikado Tou shook his head with a smile. You still don't understand Fenuka-senpai! She's not someone you can win over with ordinary pursuit methods. Her thought process is even more incomprehensible than Rikka's.

The three arrived at the stadium, where people were already lining up and preparing, led by the executive committee member.

"Fuyu-kun, Rikka, over here, over here!" Vinet waved to the two from the side of the stadium's stands.

Upon arriving at the stands, Winette and the others were already seated, ready to cheer on their friends who were competing later.

Satania and Raphiel, who were also going to participate in the competition, had already changed into their school sports uniforms and were ready to go down to line up.

"Oh my, it seems like Fuyu and Rikka had a great date! They almost got late," Raphiel said with a smile.

Takanashi Rikka blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I'm really happy! If you'd like, I do have time to go on a date with you tonight!" Tsuchimikado Fuyu teased.

Although it was said in jest, Tsuchimikado Fuyu was doing it on purpose to take care of Raphiel's feelings. If Raphiel readily agreed, he could spend some time with her tomorrow at noon.

After all, she's his girlfriend! Although Raphiel didn't compete with Black Cat and the others to avoid revealing herself, she was definitely still a little upset.

Sure enough, upon hearing Tsuchimikado Fuyutsu's words, Raphiel's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she happily said, "Really? Then I'll look forward to it."

"You actually agreed!" To keep up the act, Tsuchimikado Touya pretended to be speechless as he looked at Raphiel in order not to arouse suspicion.

"Of course! The thought of being able to openly cuckold Kuroneko and Rikka is quite exciting!" Raphiel said with a smug smile as she looked at Kuroneko and Rikka.

"You really have a terrible personality!" The black cat said, his face dark and his teeth clenched as he looked at Raphiel with obvious displeasure.

If you really like him, then confess! That way you won't have to compete with us for his date time. As an "outsider," why are you trying to steal his date time from us, the main girlfriends?

That's absolutely outrageous!

The others stared at Raphiel speechlessly. As expected of Raphiel, she could say such shameless things so easily!

“Raphiel is an enemy,” Rikka Takanashi said warily, looking at Raphiel.

That wasn't all. Raphiel continued, "Oh my, it's so cute how Kuroneko and Rikka are jealous but helpless."

Seeing how much hatred Raphiel had drawn, Tsuchimikado Fuyu began to regret his actions.

However, there was no other way. After all, if they wanted to date openly without others discovering their relationship, they had to say it in front of everyone as a joke.

Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't be able to spend the night alone with Raphiel.

"Alright, if you keep stirring up trouble, the date is canceled," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said helplessly to Raphiel.

"Okay! Fuyu-kun, go change your clothes!" Raphiel said to Tsuchimikado Fuyu with a smile, then said to Kuroneko and Rikka, "Sorry, Fuyu-kun is mine tonight!"

"You cunning angel!"

""

Tsuchimikado Fuyu glanced at Raphiel speechlessly, then pulled Kuroneko and Rikka aside. Kuroneko immediately said unhappily, "What are you going to do? Are you really going on a date with her tonight?"

"Tou!" Although Rikka only called out to him once, Tsuchimikado Tou could hear Rikka's dissatisfaction.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu said apologetically, "Well, I was just joking, I didn't expect her to actually agree."

"You know what kind of person he is," the black cat said unhappily, pinching Tsuchimikado Fuyu's waist.

Then he sighed and said, "Oh well, you'll have to take her in sooner or later anyway, so I'll give her one night! But there are some things you can't do until you've taken her in!"

Chapter 610 The Competition Begins

"Good afternoon, students from all the schools." Inside the Chiba Gymnasium, Akagi walked onto the stage with a microphone and said with a smile:

"Next up is the long-awaited first Chiba High School Relay Search Race. The race will start from Chiba Gymnasium, pass through eight high schools including Sobu High School, Maesaki High School, and Shuchiin Academy, and finally return to the gymnasium."

The race consisted of four stages, with an average of twenty-five relay points in each stage. Each stage required preparations to be made in advance when relaying from the previous stage.

I was in charge of the entire competition, and the questions for the lost and found segment were provided by Chika Fujiwara.

The first stage was overseen by Makoto Isshiki, the second by Lily Sometani, the third by Kazumi Manabe, and the fourth by Miko Iino, with other members of the executive committee cooperating to ensure the smooth running of the competition.

The entire competition will be jointly supervised and executed by our Executive Committee, the Chiba Public Security Bureau, and the Chiba Volunteer Association. The winning team will be awarded by the Mayor of Chiba City.

The competition process has been as described above. Next, Chika Fujiwara will explain the specific rules of the competition.

After saying that, Akagi handed the microphone to Fujiwara Chika, who walked onto the stage. Fujiwara Chika said happily, "Hello, everyone, good afternoon."

The tense and serious atmosphere in the venue was instantly ruined by Fujiwara Chika, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief while laughing.

"Actually, I didn't expect to become the person in charge, but since I've been put in charge of finding lost items, then please take this seriously!"

In fact, when they heard that the lost item was provided by Fujiwara Chika, Tsuchimikado Fuyuki, Shirogane Miyuki, Shinomiya Kaguya and others who were very familiar with her all changed their expressions drastically.

Is Akagi really out of his mind?! Why would he entrust such a crucial step to Fujiwara Chika, that cancer of the earth?! Are you trying to let her do whatever she wants?!

You already know her personality, so why did you let her out to cause trouble?

In fact, Akagi Masaya was also very upset. He was annoyed by the various "tortures" that Fujiwara Chika had given him these past two days, and this was not the first or second time that he had Tsuchimikado Fuyu had taken Fujiwara Chika away.

He originally didn't want Fujiwara Chika to be in charge of this matter, but during yesterday's meeting, Fujiwara Chika suddenly became interested in this aspect.

However, just as Akagi Masashi first politely refused her, Fujiwara Chika started causing trouble and used various "improper" means to eventually force Akagi Masashi to give in with tears in his eyes.

Akagi considers this incident a dark chapter in his history that he can never erase!

Fujiwara Chika didn't care what Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others thought; all she could think about was how to cause trouble.

"Alright, let me explain the specific competition rules to you next!"

First and foremost, the most important thing is the relay. It's very simple; as the name suggests, it's a 100-person relay race.

But what exactly is finding lost items?

When each person receives the baton, they cannot start running immediately. Instead, our executive committee members will have everyone draw a card.

The cards have various questions, object names, or hints written on them. You need to find the object based on these hints and then carry it to the next relay point.

Is not it simple?

"Hmph, if that's how you think, then you're being far too simplistic!" Fujiwara Chika said smugly.

"Now comes the important part, so please listen carefully. The object we need to find may be very concrete or very abstract; it could be a person or an object."

But whatever it is, as long as your object satisfies the judging panel, then you've succeeded.

However, please note that if you successfully find the object, congratulations! If you fail, don't be sad, it just means your total time will increase by five minutes.

Yes, just five minutes!

So if ten people fail to find your item, the gap between you will widen to almost an hour. So please be extra careful when searching for your item, and don't hold your school back!

Finally, one more thing: please do not cheat. The entire competition will be broadcast live by Chiba TV. If you are caught cheating, I don't know about other schools, but at Shuchiin Academy, you will be expelled!

After Fujiwara Chika finished speaking with a smile, she handed the microphone back to Akagi Tadashi, and then led her small team to various checkpoints in the first stage to make advance preparations.

"Thank you, Chika Fujiwara, for your explanation. Finally, regarding the issue of cheating, not only Shuchiin Academy, but all the other student councils jointly voted and concluded:"

If cheating is discovered, the school's total competition time will be increased by half an hour, and the student will be expelled and will not be admitted to any other high school in Chiba.

"Please trust our student council, we mean what we say!" Akagi said with a serious expression.

Other competitions are one thing, but they're planning to turn this relay scavenger hunt into a formal high school league in Chiba.

If successful, it will benefit not only Chiba, but also all the schools and members of the executive committee.

Therefore, this first edition absolutely cannot have any blemishes!

Because of the reminders from Fujiwara Chika and Akagi Masashi, some people who had been thinking of scheming against him all gave up their ideas and obediently continued the competition.

After all, even if you lose, it's just losing the game.

If his cheating is discovered, his life is basically over.

Few people can bear the stain of being permanently banned from all high schools in Chiba, and no one wants to have that stain!

"Alright, I believe everyone has a basic understanding of this competition. If you have any further questions, please consult the executive committee members next to you. Now, please assign your respective participants to schools and affix their number tags. The executive committee members will then escort them to the competition venue for preparation."

After Akagi finished speaking, the contestants below began to form small circles and start discussing.

The preparations for Soubu High School were led by Shiromaru and the student council. In reality, the preparations were just a matter of handing out number plates to everyone.

The arrangement at Zongwu High School was simple: boys took even numbers and girls took odd numbers, and then everyone lined up and took their turn randomly.

However, in order to distinguish between the different schools and to prevent the participants at the two competition venues from not knowing each other and passing the baton to the wrong person, the number plates on the back of each school are different.

For example, the number plate behind Tsuchimikado Toufumi has two rows, with "Sobu High" written on the top and "12" written on the bottom.

Chapter 611 The Competition is Underway (Part 1)

The Chiba High School Relay Search and Find Competition was quickly prepared under the guidance of the executive committee and the student councils of each school.

All twenty-five relay points for the first stage are in place, with an executive committee member responsible for recording data and another responsible for drawing questions at each relay point.

The preparations for the second stage were also proceeding at a leisurely pace. As for the third and fourth stages, the participants, led by Manabe and Iino Miko, simply went to the nearest school for that stage to rest and await further instructions.

Among the people Tsuchimikado Fuyu knows, besides Tsuchimikado Fuyu, Soubu High School also has Totsuka Saika and Kurosaki Ryuichi, who is the silly little brother that Hanabata Yoshiko took in before!

Hayato Hayama and Raphiel were in the second stage, Satania in the third stage, and Yoshiko Hanabatake in the fourth stage, with Hanabatake being the third-to-last runner.

To be honest, when I saw Yoshiko Hanabatake's number plate with "97" written on it, Touji Tsuchimikado suddenly had a feeling that they might lose.

After all, it's entirely possible for Yoshiko Hanabatake to fail at a crucial moment.

Besides Soubu High School, when the contestants gathered for the first stage, Tsuchimikado Fuyuki also saw Shirogane Miyuki and Saitama Girls' Academy's Shisatsuki.

Leaving aside the contestants for now, while Tsuchimikado Fuyu was standing idly at the match point, chatting with the black cats and the others who had come to cheer him on, the first match point was already counting down to the start of the match.

At the first competition venue, all the contestants from the thirteen high schools had drawn their question cards and were standing at the entrance of the gymnasium, ready to go.

They held a baton in one hand and a question card tightly in the other, waiting for the signal to search for the answer on the question card.
