"Well, maybe he is." Jun Mogami didn't intend to argue with the senior, so he nodded in agreement.
"Do you think it's normal for a monster like this to hold a reception? Just inviting a bunch of young boys to eat, drink and have fun? You're too naive." Umemiya Xiafei looked at Mogami Jun and continued, "I'm afraid you don't know anything about the details of the reception yet-"
"I don't know." Mogami Jun answered honestly. "It seems that Senior already knows?"
"I know something, because this is not the first time he has held such a game—" Umemiya Natsuhisa replied seriously, "At that time, we will be taken to a cruise ship, and then the cruise ship will set sail directly from Tokyo Bay to Hawaii—"
"Hawaii is a pretty good tourist destination..." replied Jun Mogami.
Then he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes widened again. "The high seas?!"
"You have a sharp mind, that's more like it." Mei Gong Xia Fei nodded, "Yes, the cruise ship will stay on the high seas for a while, and we, the guests invited by him, are the selected players."
"Player..." Mogami Jun felt his heartbeat quicken. "What game?"
"I don't know what we're going to play specifically, but think about it, given the Hyoudou family's traditional style, what kind of game would it be if we were to play it on the high seas, in a place that is not subject to the law and is isolated from the rest of the world?" Umemiya Natsuhime asked with a smile.
Before Mogami Jun could say anything, she answered directly, "It's a game so cruel that people's lives are at stake - although not our lives."
"Life...!" Although he already had a vague answer in his mind, Mogami Jun was still a little shocked.
"Yes, according to President Hyoudou's habit, he will bring a large group of debtors who are isolated and abandoned by society on the ship. They will be used as bets and consumed. He likes to watch these poor guys die for fun." Umemiya Xiafei said faintly, "And we players are the ones who decide the outcome of the game and who survives."
Jun Mogami felt his throat a little dry for a moment.
"You came to me because you wanted us to join forces, right?"
"Yes, if the two of us join forces, I think it won't be difficult to defeat the others. We can win." Umemiya Natsuki nodded heavily, and then looked at Mogami Jun with expectation, "Mogami-kun, help me win, let's end Hyoudou Kazuo's game together!"

After Jun Mogami got out of the car, the car suddenly accelerated and then quickly disappeared around the corner of the street, leaving him alone.
He looked around, at the familiar streets around him and the outline of the school gate not far away, and for a moment he was a little confused.
He had just received an unexpected request from Senior Umemiya, but he had not really recovered until now.
The so-called reception for young talents turned out to be just a vicious game played by President Hyodo, and Umemiya Natsuki, a contestant, asked herself, who was also a contestant, to join forces with her to win the competition together.
Although he finally agreed to the request, to be honest he was still at a loss.
I don’t know what to do, how to do it, or even what will happen next.
No, if I do this, won’t I be led by the nose?
Maybe Umemiya-senpai really had no ill will towards him, but Mogami Jun didn't dare put himself in a position where he was completely dominated by someone else.
So first we need to understand the situation.
In order to achieve this goal, we need to collect more information - not only information about President Hyodou, but also information about Umemiya Natsuki. Both aspects are very important.
After making up his mind, he turned around and walked towards his rented house.
Let’s go back and have a rest first.
As soon as he returned to his room, Jun Mogami did not rush to rest, but directly picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.
The number was connected quickly.
"Jun, it's rare that you call me on your own initiative. What's the matter?" Mogami Sayuki's voice sounded surprised and happy.
"Mom, I'm sorry to bother you." Mogami Jun replied in a low voice, "I want to ask you something."
"What's the matter? So serious." Mogami Sayuki was a little confused.
"Well... have you ever heard of any famous person named Umemiya--" asked Jun Mogami.
"Umemiya...?" The person on the other end of the phone responded quickly, "I have heard of it."
"Then can you please tell me in detail?" Mogami Jun was overjoyed.
After making up his mind to inquire about the situation of the Umemiya family, Mogami Jun began to think about where to get the information. At first, he thought of his father, but if he asked his father, there might be complications, after all, his father had a lot of contacts with the Hyodo family. In the end, after much thought, the most reliable source of information was his mother.
So as soon as he got home, he called his mother to ask.
"I don't know much about this family, but because this surname is quite rare, I remembered it after hearing it." Mogami Sayuki patiently explained to Mogami Jun. "The Umemiya family is a famous family. In that era, they were a member of the Chinese family and were quite active. However, they have kept a low profile for various reasons in recent decades, and I haven't heard of any famous bigwigs. Hmm...Is that it?"
The so-called Huazu are the aristocrats of the old imperial era. Under the laws of the empire, they have a legitimate hereditary title and naturally have various other social privileges. They occupy an important position in the government, the army and the economic sector.
Unfortunately, after Japan's defeat in the world war, it was occupied by the US military. In 1947, the Allied Occupation Forces Headquarters issued a general order abolishing all aristocratic titles of the imperial era, which led to a decline in social status. Many families became obscure and never regained their former glory.
If Senior Umemiya comes from such a family, it would seem to explain some problems... For example, why she has such an extraordinary status in that girls' school, probably because of the relationship with the older generation.
Well, let’s continue exploring in this direction.
"By the way, why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Mogami Sayuki suddenly asked, "What happened?"
"Ah, nothing, I just met a senior named Umemiya, so I wanted to find out some information--" Mogami Jun answered casually. "She looks pretty powerful, so she must be from an extraordinary family. There are so few people with the last name Umemiya, maybe she is a descendant of the Umemiya family..."
"Oh? Normally you don't care so much about other people's affairs, do you? Is this senior a man or a woman?" There was a hint of playfulness in Mogami Sayuki's tone.
"It's a girl." Mogami Jun replied a little embarrassedly, "But don't think too much about it."
"Is it really a woman? And she's a senior..." Contrary to his wishes, his mother immediately overestimated it. "Hey, last time it was Saginahara, this time it's Umemiya... You seem to be interested in people older than you? Son, are you obsessed with age? No wonder you're so disgusted with Asana..."
…………
"No, mom, you underestimate me. I'm a total control freak. I like everything as long as it's good-looking and interesting." After a moment's silence, Mogami Jun solved the problem with a joke.
“Hahahahaha, this is really a young man whose brain is filled with hormones!” Mogami Sayuki couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Be careful not to be too fickle or someone will stab you in the heart.”
"Mom, you're still at work, is it really okay to laugh like that?" Mogami Jun couldn't help but complain, "Besides, do you think it's fun to curse your own son for no reason?!"
"Then you just need to be careful. Okay, that's all I know. Let's stop here for now. See you later!" Mogami Sayuki hung up the phone.
What an excessive mother... Jun Mogami smiled bitterly and put the phone back into his pocket.
Well, no matter what, at least I have some clues now, which is better than knowing nothing.
Let's continue to explore this clue and find out the true situation of Princess Umemiya Natsuki hidden in the mist...
With a calm mood, Mogami Jun finished washing up and fell into a peaceful sleep.
...............................................................
It was another day of classes. Takasaki Mayu finished the class perfunctorily as usual and prepared to leave.
However, just as she walked out of the classroom door, she was stopped by Jun Mogami.
"Yuzu-chan, are you free later?"
"Ah, I do have time..." She nodded slightly.
"Well, I want to take you to see a place." Mogami Jun didn't wait for Mayu to continue, and said directly, "Do you mind if I take up a little of your time?"
Mayu Takasaki was a little surprised, but after looking at Jun Mogami's expression, she nodded slightly.
Perhaps because of the agreement they made last time, she no longer had the resistance to Mogami Jun as usual, and her attitude became much softer.
"Okay, where is it? Is it far?"
"Not far, right inside the school." Jun Mogami answered as he turned and walked forward.
Mayu Takasaki could only follow Jun Mogami with confusion.
At this time, of course many people noticed the actions of the two people, but the two of them tacitly ignored the gazes of others.
To her surprise, the class monitor, Hirofumi Hanyu, also followed behind her. The two of them were walking one in front and one behind her, as if they were escorting her. She wanted to ask, but finally held back.
Soon, they came to a small room next to the school auditorium.
"Where...is this place?" After looking at the furnishings in the room, Takasaki Mayu asked Mogami Jun in confusion.
"Ah, this is where our debate team members usually gather and practice." Mogami Jun answered immediately, "But now it has one more function - the headquarters for supporting Mayu Takasaki. Well, in other words, everyone is your fan now."
"ha……?!"
Mayu opened her eyes wide, and then a smile bloomed on her face. This unexpected news made her both surprised and happy for a moment. "Countermeasures Headquarters? Such a... Such a lame name..."
"The name is just a small detail. We don't need to worry about it. Anyway, this is the base where we discuss how to support you." Mogami Jun answered seriously, "And I am the head of this headquarters, responsible for overall coordination."
"Is it...really that serious?" asked Takasaki Mayu in surprise.
"Since we've already started, we should do it seriously. I don't like half-hearted work." Mogami Jun answered as a matter of course. "By the way, in addition to setting up the countermeasures headquarters, I have also made a breakthrough--"
Mogami Jun walked to a blackboard, picked up a pen and wrote Umemiya Natsuki's name, "I found a very prestigious senior in a famous school and recommended you to her. She agreed to promote you and increase your popularity... Although it may not necessarily increase your number of real fans, it can at least increase your popularity. After all, everyone will listen carefully to the words of such a senior. Moreover - she is also a talented person, maybe she can give you better suggestions and make your performance more exquisite..."
When Mogami Jun was explaining, Takasaki Mayu listened in a daze, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
"Jun-chan, it's only been such a short time, and you...you've already done so many things? Yuzu-chan...Yuzu-chan is a little surprised. I didn't expect you to be so concerned..."
Seeing Takasaki Mayu's touched face, Mogami Jun actually felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Ha, Yuzu-chan, when did you get the illusion that I just like to brag?" He shrugged his shoulders to avoid embarrassment, "Once you start doing something, you must do it seriously. This has always been my principle. It's not just for this one thing of yours..."
"Hey! How can you say that?" Zhenyou's face suddenly darkened, "Even if it's a lie, can't you just coax Yujiang? You just can't stand seeing Yujiang happy, right?"
"That's not the way to say it..." Mogami Jun was a little embarrassed again, "Anyway, I still hope you can be more realistic..."
"Facing the reality doesn't mean pouring cold water on you, right? What's wrong with a little coaxing? Chun-chan, aren't you usually very eloquent?" Zhenyou still refused to give in.
“Well…it’s a rare occasion that we are all working together, so let’s not argue with each other…” Hirofumi Hanyu, who had been silent, saw that the atmosphere was a little off and quickly spoke up to smooth things over.
“Yeah... yes! The class monitor is right, Yuzu-chan... Yuzu-chan said something too much..." Only then did Zhenyu remember that there were other people present. Her face immediately turned red and she quickly switched back to her usual idol mode.
She bowed slightly to Mogami Jun, "Jun-chan, I'm sorry, you helped me so earnestly. Yuzu-chan is very grateful to you and shouldn't have been picky. Please don't take it to heart! Thank you so much!"
"No, no, it's okay." Jun Mogami waved his hand.
Just at this moment, there was another soft knock on the door.
"Mogami, I brought him here." Then, another greeting was heard.
It was Okabe Kaoru's voice.
"Okabe, you're finally here? Okay, come in--" Mogami Jun replied.
The door opened immediately and two people walked in.
The first person to speak was actually Takasaki Mayu.
"Guang-chan!?" She opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"Yuzu-chan?" Mitsui Sakai, who was brought over, also looked very surprised.
Then, he saw Jun Mogami in the room and was even more surprised, speechless for a moment.
"Don't be surprised, Sakai-san. I asked Okabe Kaoru to call you over. I'm so sorry." Mogami Jun smiled at him, "Oh, it's really a reunion of old friends. We are so destined to meet—"
Naturally, no one took his extremely fake exclamation seriously. Both Shinyu and Sakai Mitsui both had strange expressions, as if they were worried about something.
"Jun-chan...what...what's going on?" After a moment's silence, Takasaki Mayu asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing, actually. I just want Yuzu-chan to make her stance clear. This will be good for everyone." Mogami Jun immediately answered, "You have actually been in contact with the association through Sakai, right? Now, please formally inform the association of your decision through him again. Don't hesitate or hold back any more."
"..." Takasaki Mayu suddenly felt at a loss. "I can tell them myself!"
"If I remember correctly, you have already deceived me once before, making me think that you refused to cooperate. I don't want it to happen again, which means that all my efforts will be in vain." Mogami Jun sighed, "Yuzu-chan, I'm really not angry with you now. What happened in the past is over, but I must ask you to make a choice so that I can help you. Please understand."
"You...you want me to chase that person away...in front of everyone?" Takasaki Mayu was a little depressed.
"Although it may be a little difficult, you have to shoulder your own responsibilities, Yuzu-chan." Mogami Jun sighed.
Mogami Jun knew that it was a bit cruel to let Takasaki Mayu break up with someone in front of everyone. If he didn't harden his heart now, it would probably cause more trouble in the future, so he had to see it with his own eyes to feel at ease.
"Well, tell him that you don't need any help from over there anymore, and tell him and them to get lost! Just live your life on your own!"
I haven't been feeling well lately, probably because I've been using the air conditioner too much. I always feel a little dizzy.
The update may not be stable, sorry~
176, Li Zhenyou
"Hey, Mogami, aren't you going too far by bullying me like this?" Sakai Koichi finally came to his senses. "Whatever Yuzu-chan wants to do is her own business. What right do you have to interfere?"
"I didn't have it before, but now that she asked me to do it, I have it." Mogami Jun looked at the other person calmly, "I don't care what you are doing, but I don't want you to have anything to do with Mayu anymore, it's that simple."
