Real teaching, but diary flow

Sakayanagi Arisu was somewhat stunned.

Why medicine?

And, birthday presents...

She had expected to be attacked, just like the words she had written in her diary countless times before.

It would just be verbal teasing of her body again, and he might even take advantage of her beforehand and collect some so-called interest.

But what she least expected was that he would give her a belated... birthday present.

I've heard of Sakayanagi Arisu.

He gave each of his women a different birthday gift.

When people receive gifts, they act as if they don't care much and then show off.

The most conspicuous one was Chihiro Shiraha, who cherished that hair clip as an invaluable treasure and carried it with her at all times.

She already knew that he had given them birthday gifts.

But Arisu Sakayanagi never imagined that she would receive such a gift.

For a moment, she even felt a little...delighted?

But amidst the joy, confusion also arose.

Why medicine?

Such a simple, ordinary medicine that seems to be available anywhere.

To put it bluntly, that was her first reaction.

It is a 'contraceptive'.

It wasn't that she only had lewd thoughts, but when it came to Asakusa Tetsu, it was hard for her not to think in that direction.

But she quickly put that wrong idea out of her mind.

Unless Asakusa Tetsu wants her dead, he definitely won't do anything before healing her.

She couldn't bear it.

Her frail body will be her best protection.

So, what kind of medicine would it be?

Cold medicine? Sleeping pills? Aphrodisiacs?

Or is it...?

The one she wanted most.

'A cure for heart disease'

The extremely simple packaging on the medicine blister pack contained these words.

Thump, thump, thump.

Sakayanagi Arisu's heart began to beat at an unprecedented pace.

The deathly aura was swept away in an instant, and the world was now tinged with color.

"My, my, birthday, present...?"

Doubt, disbelief, disbelief.

The girl raised her head and stared blankly at Asakusa Tetsu.

Is this all there is to it?

Do you mean to repeatedly use PUA tactics to make me completely submit, both physically and mentally, without physically assaulting me, stepping on my head, shattering my dignity, breaking my crutches, or damaging my legs?

"If you don't eat it, you'll throw it away."

She wanted to have doubts, but before she could even have any, Asakusa Tetsu's next words came flying at her.

Lost, lost?

Sakayanagi Arisu looked at the medicine in her hand, then at Asakusa Toru.

"...I'll eat it."

It's impossible for it to be lost.

How could it possibly be lost?

She endured humiliation and hardship, she humbled herself to this extent, and she readily surrendered with her hands raised.

All for this, all for this tiny pill?

...If one could truly obtain a healthy body.

"If you want water, I can provide you with some of my saliva," Misaka Yanagi Arisu said, clutching the pills tightly. Asakusa Tetsu added.

Very well... um, the words below.

But this actually made Sakayanagi Arisu smile with relief.

"I don't want to." A lively, angry smile bloomed on the girl's face as she said nonchalantly, "It's disgusting."

Her attitude just now was very different from her perception of Asakusa Tetsu.

In her memory, although they had only met once on the cruise ship, Asakusa Toru's character had already been basically established.

He's a nasty man.

They have a wicked sense of humor and an undisguised desire; they are quite carefree.

It's incredibly jarring that a man like that would suddenly say, "I want to give you a birthday present," and that he'd give her the very thing she longed for most.

But looking at it now...

He is Asakusa Toru.

It makes people feel at ease.

There was no water dispenser in the multi-purpose classroom, and swallowing pills raw could cause them to choke. She didn't want to have to wait until this man was there to help her with a pill stuck in her throat.

So embarrassing.

So, after asking her former homeroom teacher, Majima Tomoya, for a bit, she quickly brought back the water bottle from a short distance away.

Upon opening the packaging, the pure white pills settled securely in my palm.

"..."

Is it really that simple?

The problem that I haven't been able to solve for so many years, a problem that countless hospitals can't handle.

This small pill can solve the problem.

How dreamy.

"hey-hey."

The girl couldn't help but let out a silly laugh.

They have no sense of decorum.

But who cares about image anymore?

I'm about to get rid of heart disease!

Without wasting any more time, I first took a sip of water to moisten my throat, then swallowed the pill, took another sip of water to lubricate it, and sent it down into my stomach.

I ate it.

Do you feel anything? Have you noticed any changes?

......No.

Yes, of course she knew that no matter what medicine she took, it was difficult to have an immediate effect. Once it was put into her stomach, it was not immediately digested and its medicinal power took effect.

But she couldn't help but start fantasizing, imagining her body becoming warm, the helplessness in her heartbeat disappearing, and instead experiencing what she had imagined countless times and had felt in that dream.

A sense of health crept into my body.

That's exactly how it feels.

That's the kind of expectation.

"Dreams can become reality."

she says.

It doesn't matter if it becomes a reality, it doesn't matter if it will become a reality in the future.

As long as this health remains, this is a beautiful dream.

"It's time to start the exam."

Seeing that Sakayanagi Arisu seemed to have taken her medicine, Majima Tomoya glanced at the time and spoke.

So the two of them took their seats one after the other.

Face to face—separated by a screen, the battle between Class A and Class D begins.

The submitted projects are displayed on the screen, and the command center will decide which five to select from these ten projects.

Both sides made their choices as simple as initially planned.

Sakayanagi Arisu selected the following sports for Class A: Chess, International Chess, Sketching, Soccer, and Yu-Gi-Oh!

Tetsu Asakusa selected the following games for Class D: Chess, International Chess, Hearthstone, Valorant, and Golden Spatula.

In principle, duplicate projects should not be allowed, but by slightly adjusting the details of the rules, they can be submitted as different projects.

The difference between the Class A version of chess and the Class D version of chess is that the former requires one minute longer to hold a piece than the latter.

That's right, it's that simple and straightforward.

But it will still be recognized.

"Then a completely random draw will be conducted, and we will decide on the seven items."

Kazuma Sakagami announced expressionlessly.

Soon after, the results of the draw were displayed on the giant screen in the center.

"Valorant" requires 5 players and has no time limit.

Rules: Play as a normal game.

Command Tower: Allows you to trigger the surrender button on your own side.

It's a fair 5v5 competition, but you can trigger the surrender button.

The personnel can be chosen randomly: Kikyo Kushida, Megumi Karuizawa, Chiaki Matsushita, Maya Sato, and Haruka Hasebe.

A very good all-female team; they probably wouldn't win even if the surrender button wasn't pressed.

Oh, let's see who Sakayanagi Arisu chose.

Honami Ichinose, Chihiro Shiranami, Mio Ibuki, Airi Sakura, Masumi Kamuro.

Asakusa Tetsu: "...?"

You did this on purpose, didn't you?

The game loads and the match begins.

To put it bluntly, both of them were girls with virtually no FPS experience, let alone playing this kind of game.

Asakusa Toru only needs to keep an eye on the game until the moment his side is truly about to win.

Just press the surrender button.

Unfortunately, although the girls he chose were probably the five best in Class D, in FPS games, being good at the game has little to do with actual skill.

He'll lose whether he's going to or not; he doesn't need to surrender.

The extraction of items then continues.

The second item I drew was...

Hearthstone requires 1 player and has no time limit.
