He's a crossover character in anime/manga, and basically just very despicable.

Have you ever watched a documentary about the lives of ethnic minorities on the Tibetan Plateau?

"Your thoughts just now are just like those guys who oppose building schools and hospitals for ethnic minorities in the name of 'protecting the original ecology'—it's just to satisfy your pathetic sense of superiority!"

"No! It's not..."

“You hold the belief that you are absolutely right, but do you know that being absolutely right is also being absolutely wrong?”

From childhood to adulthood, I have always adhered to the "absolutely correct" principle of never lying and never deceiving.

Now some people say that "absolute correctness" is a fallacy?

He's basically saying that all his efforts over the past decade have been nothing but a joke!

"People often think that truth is truth because it is correct and is the opposite of error."

"But truth is only correct within certain limits."

Old Master Ma was right!

"Under the snow, have you read any ancient Chinese history?"

"I've read it."

"So do you think that being ostentatious is a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Of course it's a bad thing!"

As expected, in Yukinoshita's eyes, there is only black and white.

Indeed, even the historians of the Celestial Empire believed that emphasizing pomp and circumstance was not the behavior of a wise ruler.

But did you know that there's a passage like this in the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties—

“During the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, the Kingdom of Gaochang in the Western Regions sent envoys to Chang’an. After seeing the emperor’s majestic presence, they were subdued and dared not rebel for decades.”

"After Emperor Taizong of Tang ascended the throne, the Kingdom of Gaochang, seeing that he lacked grandeur and pomp, assumed that the Central Plains could be easily bullied and directly rebelled. Although the Kingdom of Gaochang was eventually destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, the wealth and lives that the Tang Dynasty spent to eliminate the traitor far outweighed any amount of money spent on grand gestures."

"This...this..."

Lacking historical knowledge and political education, it's no wonder that Japanese high school students are often arrogant but lack spiritual strength.

"Therefore, pomp and circumstance can have positive significance at times."

Did Qin Shi Huang tour the world just for sightseeing?

of course not!

For an ancient state that had just achieved stability, the emperor's personal tour was the best way to deter disobedient subjects!

"How could there possibly be absolute truth in this world!"

Kurosaki Azami roughly saw through Yukino Yukinoshita's heart.

It's less about pursuing absolute correctness and more about being a case of adolescent delusions of grandeur.

Because of what happened in my childhood, I want to escape reality and isolate myself from everything around me.

She doesn't want to change the world.

She just wanted to create a living environment that suited her.

"So... what exactly have I been pursuing...?"

Unbeknownst to her, Yukino Yukinoshita had forgotten the original purpose of her argument with Azami Kurosaki.

"If you can't find your target—"

Kurosaki Azami's tone softened.

"Then I'll lend you my goal."

"'Peace of mind'.

Whether it's you or me, we both need to pursue 'peace of mind'.

A strong person is not someone who gains peace of mind by eliminating fear.

Rather, it means that we must become stronger in order to achieve peace of mind!

Recognize fear, embrace fear, and ultimately, transcend fear!

"Sorry, Fujiwara, I was so busy arguing with Yukinoshita that I left all the work to you."

Yukinoshita was indeed somewhat swayed, but there was still a long way to go before she could be completely brought into his camp.

Once her beliefs completely crumble, with her abilities, she might become an excellent Stand user.

"It's okay, Azaki-kun~ Just make me the same ramen as last time."

Fujiwara Chika adorably squinted her eyes.

"However, according to the evidence I've gathered, although Ishigami Yu is gloomy, he doesn't have any bad records. On the other hand, as for Ogino Hikaru... well, you'll have to see for yourself."

I took the documents.

"Hikaru Ogino, son of Tokyo Prefectural Assembly member Akiaki Ogino, and a member of the drama club."

"Excellent academic performance, perfect score in sports"

However, he was described by his former classmates as a smiling tiger.

He dates a different girl almost every day and frequently changes girlfriends...

Good heavens, this is basically a fully upgraded version of Momonosuke!

Momonosuke at least got the better end of the deal, while this kid has reached home plate countless times.

He's practically the little tyrant of Tokyo with his silver spear!

"Wait a minute, one of the girls involved in the incident that led to Ishigami Yu's suspension from school is Ogino Hikaru's ex-girlfriend, right?"

"I think her name is... Kyoko Otomo?"

PS: This is a transitional chapter; we'll soon be moving into the main storyline.

After finishing this volume, I'll change the map.

Chapter 20 PUMP IT UP

"Based on the evidence we have collected, the Yu Ishigami case is a complete miscarriage of justice!"

Shirogane Miyuki rarely showed anger.

Fujiwara Chika told Shirogane Miyuki and Shinomiya Kaguya the results of their previous investigation.

After the four exchanged information, they reached a consensus:

Yu Ishigami was completely innocent in this incident, and even played a positive role.

"But why didn't he tell the teacher or other classmates the truth?"

"Since he himself has no intention of revealing the truth, he must have his own considerations, such as protecting that Kyoko Otomo."

This behavior could be described as foolish, or it could be described as gentlemanly.

Kurosaki Azami doesn't consider himself a saint. If he were in this situation, he might pretend to endure the humiliation for a few days, and then "inadvertently" reveal it to his teacher or a close classmate, so that they could pull off a major reversal and completely nail the scoundrel who framed him to the pillar of shame, never to recover.

While Ishigami Yu could never do what he did, Kurosaki Azami wouldn't laugh at him.

Let's first take a look at the wool we've plucked from Yukinoshita.

[The host, in order to deceive others and serve himself, used sweet words to bewitch them and shake the beliefs that Yukinoshita had always upheld. He is truly an extremely evil person!]

Bonus Skill: Diavolo Transformation!

Effect: When you activate the skill and take off your shirt, you will instantly transform into a hot, pink, moldy octopus head that is 1.91 meters tall!

Once the skill is activated, your top that you haven't taken off will automatically transform into a sexy black mesh outfit!

(If no top is available, it will be provided automatically.)

The Diablo you become will have a voice, body odor, and genes that are exactly the same as the original!

(This skill will not cause personality splitting or any other mental harm, so please use it with confidence.)

After transforming, your Stand energy is restored by 20%.

Note: This is the trial of Koleva!

Kono Diablo!

KING CRIMSON!

Time, flow on!

That's good, this way I can play two roles myself. My true identity can also be better concealed.

You think the boss of the enthusiastic organization I'm organizing is Bucciarati, but actually the boss is Kono Diavolo!

You thought the boss was Diablo, but actually it's Kono Kurosaki Azami!

"So, we should go see the principal first before deciding how to handle this matter."

Shirogane Miyuki made the final decision.

————————————————The Crimson King———————————————————

"It seems you've conducted a thorough investigation here as well..."

The headmaster stroked his beard, putting down the Pokémon handheld console without any embarrassment.

"Oh? It seems the headmaster isn't entirely unaware of this matter after all."

“You’re right, Kurosaki-kun. A disciplinary committee member reported some suspicious points about this matter to me before.”

It seems to be Iino Miko.

"Then the follow-up to this matter will be entirely handled by your student council."

"Okay, goodbye, Principal."

The student council members left the office.
