However, there's nothing that can be done about it, given the large number of participating teams and the tight schedule.

……

When Tsuchimikado Fuyu heard the announcement from the host, he didn't immediately stand up and head to the arena. After all, there was a ten-minute preparation time after each match, which was one of the reasons why the entire match was so rushed.

Even with a ten-minute preparation time, some teams still couldn't find the venue or didn't arrive on time, resulting in their teams being forced to forfeit the match.

However, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others were already preparing in the stands in front of Arena 3, so there was no need to take their positions immediately. They could rest for two more minutes first.

After resting, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Winette rushed to the arena. Their opponents, a man and a woman, were also just getting ready.

The two sides didn't know each other, so they didn't talk. They simply signaled to the referee that the match could begin.

"Good luck, Fuyu-kun," Winette said to Tsuchimikado Fuyu, and then began to serve.

The two sides traded blows, and although Tsuchimikado Fuyu wasn't in great form, it was basically Winette who performed the best.

However, the other side wasn't much better off. They only had one main player, and the girl on the other side was a bit bad at the game, so the boys were the only ones carrying the team.

"Rikka, something seems off with Fuyu-kun."

At that moment, in the stands, Fujiwara Chika had just returned from her match and secured a spot in the next round. Seeing Tsuchimikado Fuyu's somewhat lackluster performance, she asked him curiously.

Because they hadn't been with Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others at the competition, they were unaware that Tsuchimikado Fuyu was having an upset stomach.

"Winter was cursed with weakness by the demon, and his physical strength is severely lacking."

"?" Fujiwara Chika and Shinomiya Kaguya looked at Takanashi Rikka with blank expressions. "We don't understand what you're saying!"

"Honestly, he was clearly not feeling well, but he still went to participate in the competition. He's really being very willful."

On the other side, Raphiel, who had also returned from the match, saw Tsuchimikado Fuyu's increasingly pale face and said somewhat angrily, "Disobedient children need to be disciplined... no, they need to be taught a lesson."

"You just said you were being trained, right? That's what you said, isn't it?" Fujiwara Chika asked Raphiel.

"No, Chika, you must have misheard me. How could I say something like that?" Raphiel quickly turned her head away and denied it.

Everyone stared at Raphiel speechlessly. Couldn't you have put a little more effort into your lies? It's obvious at a glance.

At this moment, Satania, who had won the match and entered the qualifying round, walked over and said smugly, "Hahaha, as expected, no matter how powerful an Onmyoji is, he is just a mere mortal. Did I manage to curse him so easily?"

"Just you wait and see! This kind of Onmyoji is nothing to fear. I'll easily defeat him and Vinette and win the championship! Hahahaha!"

"Satania, are you happy that Winter-kun isn't feeling well?"

"Of course, my strongest rival on the road to the championship has fallen, it seems that the championship of this competition is mine for the taking." Satania was completely unaware that Rikka and the others' expressions had changed, and continued to say smugly.

"Oh dear, it seems Satania has the victory in her grasp. It seems she no longer needs me, this burden!" Raphiel said with a smile. "Ah~ I'm tired of playing too. After Dongjun loses the match, I'll go with him for some alone time."

Upon hearing this, not only Satania's expression changed, but also that of Takanashi Rikka and Fujiwara Chika.

"Huh? You're my servant! How can a mere servant desert his post? You'll never win the championship like this!" Satania said angrily, looking at Raphiel in surprise.

"But I never intended to win the championship in the first place. I was originally planning to compete with Dongjun. It was only because you begged me, Satania, that I helped you," Raphiel said with a smile.

"Huh? Is that so?" Satania tilted her head, as if recalling the scene when she signed up.

However, Satania had long forgotten about this, so no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember that it was actually Raphiel who tricked her into signing up with a pineapple bun.

After all, she had already tricked Satania into signing up for all the competitions, so Raphiel naturally couldn't let her miss out on this doubles competition.

However, Raphiel didn't know that Winette also wanted to participate in the competition, so she couldn't find anyone else to mess with and had to go herself.

Even if she participates, she's still thinking about how to trick Satania. She hadn't found a good opportunity before, but now the time is just right. Not only can she trick Satania, but she can also tease Rikka and the others, killing two birds with one stone.

“Is that so?” Raphiel didn’t give Satania much time to think, after all, she might remember it if she thought about it for a while longer, so she quickly said, “Lady Satania is so good, it’s just doubles, you must be able to handle it alone, right?”

“Of course, I can handle it all by myself. You take my victory and go take care of Winter,” Satania said smugly upon hearing Raphiel’s flattery.

“Satania, in a doubles match, if one person withdraws, it’s equivalent to the entire team withdrawing,” Fujiwara Chika said with a smile to Raphiel.

"Huh?" Satania stared blankly at Fujiwara Chika, then at Raphiel, before angrily pointing at her and saying, "Raphiel, you lied to me!"

Chapter 662 Cunning vs. Naturally Cunning

"Oh, I see! I didn't know that either. So, in doubles matches, both players have to be present? I thought that as long as you were strong enough, one person could play." Raphiel said, feigning surprise and covering her mouth.

"Really?" Satania looked at Raphiel with suspicion. She never hesitated to assume the worst about Raphiel, after all, this guy had tricked her so many times that she had gradually become very vigilant, but she would still get tricked in the end.

To this, Raphiel can only say, it's not that I'm terrible, it's that you're really stupid!

“Of course, because think about it, I only came to the human world this year, and I’ve never taken a doubles badminton class at school, so how would I know these rules?” Raphiel said with a smile.

“That seems… to make sense.” Satania nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Raphiel triumphantly and said, “Hahaha, Raphiel, so you have a weakness too. I won’t be defeated by you again.”

Little did Satania know that while she was gloating, she had forgotten that the rules of doubles badminton were taught to her by Raphiel after her date with Tsuchimikado Fuyu the night before, and that she had been tricked quite a bit for it.

After dealing with Satania, Raphiel smiled as she watched Fujiwara Chika chatting happily and nonchalantly with Shinomiya Kaguya.

Is Chika-chan jealous? That's really interesting!

As a woman who was also cunning and manipulative, Raphiel could tell that Fujiwara Chika was deliberately reminding Satania.

As for the reason...!

I guess they don't want Dongjun and me to have some alone time together.

However, Raphiel was wrong this time. Fujiwara Chika didn't actually have that many ulterior motives. She was just a naturally cunning person who couldn't "read the room" and was completely unaware of her own malice.

On the one hand, she had already accepted the fact that Tsuchimikado had opened a harem.

On the other hand, she was a newcomer and was still preparing to win over Tsuchimikado Tou. How could she possibly let jealousy worsen her relationship with Tsuchimikado Tou's other women, especially Raphiel, a woman whom Tsuchimikado Tou didn't acknowledge as his girlfriend?

Yes, that's right!

In Fujiwara Chika's heart, Raphiel should be the same as herself, the kind who actively throws herself into his arms. Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't refuse, but because she didn't confess her feelings, she didn't become his girlfriend like Kuroneko and the others.

In other words, he and Raphiel were both enemies and friends.

Although they are enemies, their competition is only between "senior" and "junior". In other aspects, they should be on the same side. After all, the first two "seniors" were from the poor breast faction, and the two of them, as members of the large breast faction, are naturally on the same side.

Therefore, if Fujiwara Chika had even a little self-awareness, she wouldn't have tricked Raphiel.

Rikka Takanashi stared blankly at the four who had suddenly stopped talking. Why were they suddenly silent?

Could it be?

Rikka Takanashi sensed something was wrong with the atmosphere around her and immediately looked around warily. Had a demon descended? Had they already been controlled by a demon?

Wait a minute, isn't Satania a demon? Why isn't she saying anything?

Could it be a third-party force?

It seems this world is getting more and more dangerous. Now only I, the Evil King's True Eye, can protect them.

With the five players having different thoughts, the match between Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Winette also ended. Unfortunately, this time, because of Tsuchimikado Fuyu's poor performance, they lost the match and failed to enter the top 15.

However, Winette wasn't too upset. After all, she didn't participate in the competition to win the championship; she just wanted to experience life. So, losing was fine, and she could go cheer for Raphiel and the others.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu, however, disregarded his sadness and rushed to the nearby restroom as soon as he left the arena.

This time, Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't go to the gymnasium, but went directly to the teaching building he had visited before. Luckily, when he was on the first floor, he took a look and found an empty seat, so he didn't have to go to the top floor.

……

Due to feeling unwell, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Rikka briefly toured the private Sakuragi Academy before leaving.

While strolling around, Tsuchimikado Fuyu also stopped by Hinata Kaho's classroom. Their class's activity was also a maid cafe, but with a slight difference: the dishes in their maid cafe were all decided by lottery, and whatever you drew, you had to eat.

To this end, they also put some bizarre foods in the raffle box, and many tourists were pranked.

However, due to its novelty, tourists who were already tired of maid cafes praised it. Even if they ate some strange food, they were moved to tears and finished the meal under the "persuasion" of the cute maids.

After all, those maids wielding kitchen knives, whips, and even hammers really intimidated them!

Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Rikka were also subject to the lottery, but they were lucky enough to draw four dishes. Apart from the wasabi ice cream being a bit hard to swallow, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Rikka enjoyed the other three dishes quite a bit.

Among them, the extra-spicy Mapo Tofu, which has "persuaded" countless tourists to finish eating, causing them to shed tears from the spiciness, was calmly devoured by Tsuchimikado.

Seeing that Tsuchimikado Fuyu only had a little sweat on his face and no other extreme reaction, everyone gave him a thumbs up in admiration.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu gave the shocked Hinata Kaho a provocative look and teased her, asking why she wasn't playing the tsundere maid today, which made Hinata Kaho so angry that she almost picked up the hammer in her hand and smashed Tsuchimikado Fuyu's head.

However, after provoking Hyuga Kaho, Tsuchimikado Fuyu naturally had to spend most of the day in the bathroom, which made Hyuga Kaho mock him, "You're not feeling well but you still eat such spicy food, what an idiot."

However, what is called mockery is actually just her way of showing concern for Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

She didn't realize this, but Tsuchimikado Fuyu did.

After chatting and joking around for a while, Tsuchimikado Touya and Rikka left the private Sakuragi Academy to go home and rest.

Just as Tsuchimikado and his group were passing through a small alley, they suddenly heard a man's laughter and a girl's angry roar coming from inside.

"Let me go, you little thug, come at me one-on-one!"

"Hahaha, go ahead and curse now while you can. Let's see how you'll manage to curse later. Come on, take her back with you."

"Damn it, you bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

Chapter 663 Kyoko Hayakawa

In the alley, a girl was being held by the arms by several thugs, screaming and struggling incessantly.

Opposite her, a man who looked like a gang leader was holding a dagger and looking at her smugly.

"You think you're so tough? You actually beat me up last time when I was drunk. Let's see what else you have up your sleeve this time." The thug leader said with a smile, pinching the girl's chin.

The girl spat at him, and he immediately glared at her, wiped his face, and sneered, "Is that all you've got? I'll show you what I can do later."

"Bastard." The girl kept struggling, which gave her an opportunity. Since the gang leader was very close to her, she took advantage of his inattention and raised her thigh sharply, her knee hitting the man's groin between his legs.

"Ah! Damn it..." The gang leader suddenly felt a piercing pain, then clutched his vital point and curled up on the ground like a lobster.

The girl, emboldened by her position, seized the opportunity while the other thugs were worried about their leader's injuries. Before they could retaliate, she broke free from their grasp and defeated several of the thugs around her.

"Haaah~" The girl was like a dragon crossing the river, defeating several people in succession. However, this was just a facade. She only managed to achieve such a great victory by taking advantage of the other party's inattention. Once the other party reacted, the girl was quickly captured by a thug.

After all, although they were petty thugs, they were still adults. Besides, no matter how good a girl is at fighting, strength is not her forte, so it's normal that she was easily caught.

After feeling the excruciating pain, the gang leader recovered slightly, raised his head, and stared at the girl with a fierce look in his eyes. "Damn it, beat her up, just don't kill her."

At this point, the gang leader, who had no idea whether his little brother was still usable, no longer cared about the delinquent girl he had taken a liking to.

After all, there are plenty of pretty girls out there. He just felt resentful because he failed to win her over last time, and that's why he wanted her.

There's a saying that goes, "What you can't have is always the best."
