Toru Asakusa uttered what seemed like some rather outrageous remarks.

"If I had to put it that way, it would be to become a member of my faction and to become my ally in the future."

"Of course, not now. I estimate... I'll stay at this school for another 174 days."

"Diary."

The reason for this number is not simply because it is the day of the first-year graduation ceremony.

More importantly, it's because of today's diary entries.

[Today's record completed, this record is rated 'S', currently drawing rewards]

[Successful draw! Congratulations on obtaining the item 'Surprise Gift Box']

A long-awaited S-level rating.

However, it is not a reward that can be directly realized.

Instead.

【Name: Surprise Gift Box】

Category: Props

[Effect: A surprise gift box that unlocks after a set time, will be unlocked in 174 days.]

[Note: "Here's a surprise gift for you; it will be exactly what you've been waiting for."]

There are timed rewards that will be unlocked precisely on the last day of the countdown.

What could be inside?

What do I want most?

Asakusa Tetsu had the answer in his heart.

'strength'

It's not just limited to small-scale activities within highly developed fields; it goes far beyond the realm of common sense.

power.

Therefore, he will continue to live in advanced growth for about six more months.

High school life.

The countdown has begun.

There is no possibility of retreating.

Therefore, he may need to pave the way for off-campus activities in advance.

Supporting Kaguya Shinomiya is the first step.

"Betrayal and disobedience... never mind." Kaguya Shinomiya sighed softly, "Diary."

She felt like complaining about something.

But then I thought about the diary I've been reading up to today.

She felt somewhat relieved.

Although we often complain that serious people don't keep diaries, we have to admit that the diary format naturally carries a certain degree of emotional catharsis.

Even though Asakusa Tetsu would put on a little act and make a lot of joking remarks.

But the diary itself, the words themselves, will constantly reveal his true nature.

The three characters 'Asakusa Tetsu' are given a unique and tangible form.

Therefore, the more Kaguya Shinomiya reads the diary, the more she understands this person.

What is there to say?

"Constantly chatting with someone can create the illusion of being in a relationship."

Although Kaguya Shinomiya doesn't feel like she's in love at all, the logic is sound.

She would think she knows this person very well.

Reading a diary is like going through someone's heart, like reading their past. In a sense, reading it every day is like possessing the other person's present.

Therefore, even someone as suspicious as Kaguya Shinomiya would have a slight feeling deep down.

I can trust him.

Is this considered a calculated scheme?

Kaguya Shinomiya doesn't know.

But she knew that, having come to know Asakusa Tetsu as she did now, she wouldn't be angry at such words.

Instead of getting angry over so-called attitudes.

Let's vent a little.

"When will this diary end?"

Isn't it strange that the conversation includes the words "diary"?

“You can stop now if you want,” Asakusa Tetsuya said nonchalantly. “If you’re not afraid of being eavesdropped on.”

"..." Kaguya Shinomiya was silent for a moment: "Although I feel that what I said earlier should have attracted attention a long time ago."

"But let's continue, diary."

"Diary."

Strange keywords were uttered by both parties once again.

"In other words, I will become your accomplice, an accomplice in your subsequent expansion of spoiler activities, helping you to spoil other people's lives even more excessively, expose other people's dark history, and criticize other people's flaws."

"Is that right?"

Kaguya Shinomiya translated Tetsu Asakusa's words with great precision, based on her own understanding.

"Yes, removing the accomplice should be fine." Asakusa Tetsu nodded: "My dear accomplice is someone else, you'll have to find another identity to play."

His beloved accomplice, Miss Ichinose Honami, is, and can only be, Honami Ichinose.

"...You have romantic feelings for me?" Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly blurted out this question out of nowhere, followed by a decisive apology and rejection: "I'm sorry, but, I'm sorry, the closest relationship I can accept with you is only as friends."

She couldn't imagine herself becoming a couple with this man, whom she already found terrible even just from glimpsing him in his diary.

That would be amazing.

"The woman below".

"Diary."

"Yes, yes, the diary." Asakusa Tetsu readily ended the digression: "But I still have to correct you, I can do more than just be a spoiler expert."

"I am a person who still has some aspirations."

He leaned forward slightly and raised his hand to support his cheek.

There are three desires that I want to satisfy.

He raised his other hand and held up three fingers.

"First is sex, a human instinct and the source of satisfaction. I put it first, enjoying it without being addicted or intoxicated by it."

Although Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't see it now, he still started bending his fingers.

"Secondly, it's about control. To put it bluntly, I actually have a pretty strong desire for control. I hate seeing things that don't go my way, whether it's good people getting bad rewards, bad people getting good rewards, or stupid people getting good rewards. I can't stand it. I will make decisions on the things I want to interfere with and influence in a dictatorial manner, so I put it second."

Do as you please, follow your heart.

"The third is the pursuit of knowledge, but it's not so much a thirst for knowledge, although knowledge is indeed quite important. What I might be more looking forward to is the possibility called 'the unknown'." After a pause, Asakusa Tetsu smiled: "In plain terms, I want to see how you react to all sorts of unexpected things."

"Although they are doing things that seem to be in a sequence, there is actually no order to them. You can't just assume that I am a person whose cerebellum is congenital and whose brain is cerebelli based on this order. That's a false accusation."

Asakusa Tetsu shrugged.

"So, what's your answer?" he asked.

Explanatory words allow the other person to understand your true nature more deeply, and deepen mutual understanding by opening your heart.

If you want to cooperate, it's really not appropriate for only one party to understand the other party.

“...To be honest, I really want to shake your hand.” Kaguya Shinomiya didn’t answer directly, but said, “But unfortunately, I can’t go to advanced training for the time being.”

"If I have the chance, Diary, no, Asakusa Tetsu, I will personally come to pick you up on the day we agreed."

But her words were no different from an agreement.

Although Asakusa Toru's photo and corresponding survey information could be clearly seen on the previously collected first-year enrollment list.

But as expected, unless you see, see, and experience it for yourself, your perspective will ultimately be too narrow.

So, as promised, let's meet in 174 days.

Before that, let me briefly speak on behalf of a world-class genius painter...

Hmm, foster aunt?

Anyway, this matter did not harm her; it was not a bad thing to befriend a world-class active oil painter.

Even she, a relatively sheltered young lady, had heard of Shiina Mashiro's name.

Although the fields are different, it's not a bad thing.

“Then,” Asakusa Tetsu raised his hand, “it’s a pleasure to work with you.”

"Then, it's time to order."

I haven't had lunch yet.

"Yes, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Kaguya Shinomiya hung up the phone.

"Is there anything you'd like to eat? It's on me." After handing the phone back to its original owner, Asakusa Tetsu asked Hayasaka Ai.

"—Baumkuchen!"

Before Hayasaka Ai could react, perhaps sensing that the conversation was over, Shiina Mashiro, who had been standing nearby, unknowingly squeezed into Asakusa Tetsu's seat and expressed her preferences with an expectant look.

Following her, Hiyori Shiina and Honami Ichinose also squeezed in and took their seats.

The four of them squeezed together, and soon Shiina Mashiro's body was pressed tightly against Asakusa Tetsu's.

But the girl didn't seem to mind at all; she just looked up at Asakusa Tetsu with longing eyes, anticipating the arrival of the Baumkuchen.

"Then we'll have to go to the convenience store."

Asakusa Toru shrugged, and just then, the waiter he had beckoned over approached.

"Hey... you sell these? Oh, well, let's get a Baumkuchen first, then..."

Order food, eat food, and then...

It's time to get back to the sports festival.

Chapter 276 Someone Like You

[Voice Recorder]

Among the items drawn in the borrowing contest, Asakusa Tetsu took out the slip of paper he had drawn.

Then, I immediately saw the incredibly clear text above.

"..."

What a coincidence.

Perhaps he was destined to win this sports festival, and even without manipulating the results of other people's matches, he could still achieve the best outcome he wanted.

As the most unpredictable event in this sports festival, the borrowing contest could easily cost you first place if you weren't careful. Asakusa Tetsu had originally planned to manipulate the outcome.

But now it seems unnecessary.

I was thinking before that if I got a pet or a lover, should I bring Mashiro and the others with me?

But thinking about it, he figured if he actually pulled out something like that, he'd definitely protest to the school and then have to pull it again.
