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

"Don't be discouraged. When conducting experiments, you must be steady and protect your personal safety."

"Okay! Thank you, Director!"

After Professor Agasa had gone far enough, Caesar turned around and asked:

"Is it okay for him to be doing this recklessly?"

"Don't worry, Caesar."

Gaji was calm and composed.

"The expenses he incurred were nothing compared to the benefits brought by the solar panels in that skateboard."

"We can give his robot vacuum cleaner to other research institutes later and have them add some steel balls and nails to it to use as an anti-personnel mine. That way, it won't be a waste."

"The boss has such a brilliant plan..."

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

"Please let me go, Chairman!"

Kiyoka Igarashi bowed slightly and said with concern.

"Kurosaki Azami's money accumulation is too fast; he's bound to cause trouble for the student council!"

"Whether it's bribery, intimidation, or any other means, I can do it all if you give the order!"

Faced with her loyal subordinate, Kirari Momobami simply shook her head.

"No need."

"Look, isn't this aquarium beautiful?"

A chilling blue light flashed in Kirari Momobami's eyes.

"I believe that the beauty of a fish tank lies not in its decoration, but in the fierce competition within it."

"Only when this competition of big fish eating small fish exists can there be true vitality and beauty in an aquarium!"

The chill in the room intensified.

"Besides, I really like Kurosaki Azami."

Igarashi Seika, who has been following Momobami Kirari for many years, certainly knows that this "like" is not in the sense of romantic love.

"The scent emanating from him was an evil, eerie, and alluring fragrance, like that of a burnt corpse."

"Perhaps Kurosaki Azami doesn't play poker and dice often, but I can tell that he's a man who dares to gamble with fate."

"I'm getting more and more excited for our future bets..."

Chapter 65 Smash! Valudo!!!

"Hey! Did you guys hear? Saotome Meari has launched a formal war!"

"Really? To whom?"

"The president of the Traditional Culture Research Club, Nishitoin Yuriko!"

"Really? Let's go take a look!"

The next morning, Kurosaki Azami, who had just arrived at Hyakkaou, heard a group of classmates talking about it.

Thanks to Kaguya-sama, Kurosaki Azami naturally knows what "formulaic battle" is.

"Formal battle" is the Japanese term, which translates to "official battle" in Chinese. It is the only right of the "livestock" in Hyakkaou Academy.

Essentially, it's a betting opportunity that can be initiated against anyone with no upper limit on the amount wagered, and cannot be refused by any means.

Saotome Meari's decision to go to the student council to launch a formal battle is probably just an attempt to turn her fortunes around and make a comeback.

"It would be a shame not to see something this interesting."

After packing his schoolbag, Kurosaki Azami quickly headed to the Traditional Culture Research Club.

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

"Ah! It's Kurosaki-san!"

"Hey Jabami-kun, you're here too..."

Indeed, how could such a fun scene be complete without Jabami Yumeko, the gambling maniac?

"Kurosaki-kun! Wait until I've finished reading this..."

Saotome Meari turned around, her eyes sparkling with a dazzling light.

What? Are you trying to say something tough?

"...I'll return your money..."

What a wonderful child! For a moment, even the most despicable person felt a pang of pity for her.

"Oh, it's Kurosaki-kun."

With her eyes closed and a serene expression, she wore a white kimono embroidered with red trim.

Opposite Saotome is Yuriko Nishitoin, a third-year student and the president of the Traditional Culture Research Club.

Between the two players is a chessboard with sixty squares in total, thirty for each player, and each square is marked with a number.

Beside the two, a croupier wearing a black mole-like ornament on his hand held a small pot, and in front of him was a small round wooden plate with many small holes, the holes marked with the same numbers as those on a chessboard.

"Sword of Life and Death" is a gambling game invented by the Traditional Culture Research Society.

First, put ten small swords into the pot, then shake it and guess which small hole the sword will pierce.

Then, within 10 seconds of the dealer shaking the pot, place your chips on the number you want to bet on.

"Not only that!"

Yuriko Nishitoin added.

"When the blade is facing upwards, it is considered 'life,' with odds of 30, meaning you receive 30 times the bet."

If the sword blade points downwards, it signifies "death," and the odds remain at 30, paying out 30 times the bet to the opponent.

When one side's chip count falls below zero, the game ends based on the difference in chips at that point.

Kurosaki Azami understood.

Even if you guess the number correctly, you're not guaranteed to win.

"Alright, Saotome, you can place your bet now."

Saotome Mea carries a sense of solemnity.

The stakes are ten million yen, and each side holds one hundred chips, each worth one hundred thousand yen.

However, after the first two games, Saotome only had 32 chips left, and she was in a precarious situation.

Fine, let's fight to the death!

Grabbing all the chips, Saotome placed her 32 chips evenly on eight numbers.

Yuriko placed her bets casually, almost making Kurosaki Azami think it was a game of probability.

Trying to gamble on probability? Absolutely not!

Almost every bet in the King of Flowers is fair; it's just that no one cheats as unreasonably as Kurosaki Azami!

"Hey! It's done! I won!"

Saotome Hanjin let out a loud, booming laugh.

She guessed the right number!

"Oh...please accept my condolences."

Following Yuriko's finger, Saotome Meari looked down at the number she had correctly predicted.

If the sword is pointed downwards, you need to pay the other party thirty times the stake.

Saotome not only failed to turn the tide, but also lost nearly 50 million yen!

"Bakana! I, Saotome, actually... actually..."

Ignoring the golden retriever's wails, Yuriko's subordinates dragged the utterly defeated Saotome off the gambling table.

"There's only one reason you failed: Saotome."

She took a sip of green tea, her long, straight black hair and squinting eyes a stark contrast to her slanted eyes.

"That's just 'you're too weak,' nothing more."

At that moment, Kurosaki Azami felt there should be a smashed road roller nearby.

"Would you like to give it a try, Kurosaki-kun?"

In fact, Kurosaki Azami is Nishitoin Yuriko's target.

Originally, she didn't want to get involved in testing Kurosaki Azami.

Unfortunately, if she doesn't obey Kirari Momobami's orders, the Traditional Culture Research Institute, which she painstakingly built to protect her friends, will be destroyed!

For the trust of our partners, to prevent everyone from being reduced to livestock, and for everything that we and everyone else are protecting!

I, Yuriko, absolutely cannot lose!

"Interesting, come on."

However, as the only officially designated villain in this book, Azami Kurosaki is not an opponent that can be easily defeated by simply shouting a few words about "bonds" or "hope" and changing the background music.

"Please place your bets!"

The croupier, whose hands were adorned with black mole-like ornaments, released his grip on the shaker and called out.

"Smash! Valudo!!! Time! Stop!"

What is this "Time Stopped Youth Version of the Doujinshi World"?

Since it's being used by me, Kurosaki Azami, then this skill will be called "Za Warudo"! Even if Diosama himself comes, it will still be called Za Warudo!
