Chapter 48

It was another day of traveling in Kanagawa. Nakamori Akimi came to Rikkai University, but saw a person at the school gate who shouldn't be there.

"You actually came?" Nakamori Akimi looked at the people at the school gate in surprise, then his face was touched. "I didn't expect you to be such a kind-hearted and good boy. I was wrong about you before, Fuji."

"It seems that I have a very bad impression in your mind, Nakamori."

Fuji Shusuke sighed, and the white cloth bag in his left hand attracted special attention.

Thinking about the unspeakable conversation they had yesterday, Nakamori Akimi nervously leaned over to him and asked, "Your bag isn't filled with bricks, is it? Didn't you say gravel would be fine?"

"But I'm afraid the gravel isn't powerful enough." Fuji Shusuke picked up the bag and shook it. Judging from the degree to which his flesh was sunken, the injury must have been serious.

"But what if someone gets killed? Who knows what will happen then. At least the person has to be alive to get the stuff down."

It turns out that you are not worried about their life or death at all...

The curve of Fuji Shusuke's lips widened a little more.

"In fact, as long as you want, nothing is impossible in this world."

Nakamori Akimi took a breath and said, "You mean..."

"No two."

Just then, a voice interrupted their conversation.

"Yukimura-san?"

"Nakamori-san."

Because of Kirihara Akaya, Nakamori Akimi and Yukimura Seiichi had several brief exchanges, but they were not very familiar with each other.

"Yukimura, the art collection you requested."

What?

Nakamori Akimi watched helplessly as Fuji Shusuke handed the bag to Yukimura Seiichi.

Isn't this a brick? Nakamori Akimi glanced at Fuji Shusuke.

"I never said that."

Fuji Shusuke replied to her softly.

If you think about it carefully, Fuji Shusuke did not say that, but he was clearly misleading.

"Thank you," Yukimura Seiichi took the bag and looked at it, then raised his eyes to look at them, "So Fuji and Nakamori-san know each other."

"It's just a past relationship."

Fuji Shusuke said some quite astonishing words with a calm expression.

Nakamori Akimi's pupils dilated and he turned his head suddenly.

Are you so fierce? Don't you care about clearing your name?

Fuji Shusuke, who has long lost his innocence: smiling mask.jpg.

"Is that so? That's a shame."

Yukimura Seiichi almost couldn't follow what Fuji Shusuke said.

He paused for a few seconds with a faint smile on his face, "Did you come together?"

"We happened to meet and chatted for a while." Fuji Shusuke was not at all embarrassed and even took the initiative to talk. "Come to think of it, I haven't seen Rikkai University's training yet. I wonder if I have the honor, Minister Yukimura?"

"Are you here to inspect the enemy situation?"

Seiichi Yukimura readily changed the slightly sensitive topic.

"May I?"

Fuji Shusuke asked back.

"Then please come in. There is no blind spot in our Rikkai University." Yukimura Seiichi turned slightly sideways, and a corner of his coat on his shoulder rose up, then quickly fell down.

"Nakamori-san," he looked at Nakamori Akimi again, "Renji should be in the club room right now. Do you want to come with me? Or you can go to the student union first and I'll have Renji come find you?"

"I'll just wait for Yanagi-san in the student union. Sorry to bother you Yukimura-san."

Nakamori Akimi saw Fuji Shusuke shaking his head. Although he didn't know what he wanted to do, he still decided to cooperate.

After separating from Fuji and the others, Nakamori Akimi went to the reception room of the student union as usual. Today was the final day, and she would not have to come to Rikkai University after that.

Actually, we could talk about this over the phone, but it's her fault for having bad intentions.

She waited here for a while, but instead of waiting for Yanagi Renji, she waited for someone unexpected.

Actually, it’s not that surprising.

"Niou-san?" Nakamori Akimi looked him up and down. "Or, Yagyu-san?"

"...How did you recognize it?"

The man at the door took off his wig, revealing his natural purple hair. However, he still wore prescription contact lenses. Looking at him, he looked like Yagyu Hiroshi, but not like Yagyu Hiroshi.

As for how Nakamori Akimi recognized him... Actually, she didn't recognize him at all. She was just trying to trick him. Unexpectedly, her trick worked.

When Nakamori Akimi was feeling proud of himself, he suddenly heard Yagyu Hiroshi say:

"Never mind. It's not important."

Um?

Looking at the cold-faced Yagyu Hiroshi, Nakamori Akimi had a bad premonition.

"What I'm more interested in now is, Miss Nakamori Akimi, who are you?"

Nakamori Akimi understood this seemingly ambiguous statement. But it was precisely because she understood it that she found it incredible. What on earth was wrong with Yagyu Hiroshi? What on earth did he know?

"What are you talking about, Yagyu-san? Who could I be? I'm Nakamori Akimi."

Until things are clarified, we can only remain unchanged in the face of change.

"You said you were Nakamori Akimi." Yagyu Hiroshi looked at her with his eyes completely unconcealed, his eyes cold to the extreme. "Then, who is she?"

Yagyu Hiroshi threw out a portrait, with the hair of the ocean, the eyes of the sky, and... the body of a matchstick.

I'm surprisingly not good at art.

Perhaps Nakamori Akihiro's silence was too abrupt, so Yagyu Hiroshi added stiffly, "I asked someone to help draw this."

"The artist of this painting has a very simple style."

"Never mind. It's not important."

Yagyu Hiroshi threw away the painting, and the light piece of paper was blown away through the open window.

It doesn't matter whether it's important or not. If you throw things around, she will report you for sure.

Just as Nakamori Akimi was silently complaining, there was a sudden "click" and the door was locked.

Nakamori Akimi immediately became alert, "What do you want to do?"

Could this guy be of the same nature as Fuji Shusuke?

***

As a high school affiliated with Rikkai University, which is famous for its strict school spirit, it is rare to see students running in the corridors. Even at the end of school, the rules and regulations that are deeply engraved in their minds still constrain every student.

Not to mention the student union office, the people there strictly abide by Rikkai University's school rules, but today is a little different.

The wind whistled past, and the discipline committee member, who had just walked out the door, was stunned by the guy who dared to openly challenge him. When he ran over, he saw chestnut hair dancing in the sunset, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

I couldn’t see his face clearly...but he wasn’t wearing the uniform of our school, was he from another school?

The discipline committee member was confused for a moment, but then a gust of wind blew around him.

"Wait!" The swift-eyed and quick-handed Discipline Committee finally caught up with the person. This time, they were on time. "Student, running in the corridor is prohibited... Chairman!?"

He was so frightened that his voice broke and he quickly let go.

"I'm sorry, I don't know..."

Although he was not wrong, he just wanted to admit his mistake when facing Genichirō Sanada.

"No, you're right. I was lax. I will write a self-criticism and accept the punishment as required."

After saying this, Genichirō Sanada turned around and ran again.

What on earth could have happened that could make Genichirō Sanada run in the corridor regardless of school rules?

The disciplinary committee, out of curiosity, followed them quietly.

Then he saw the out-of-school student at his destination. He was banging on the door of the student union reception room. The head of the discipline committee next to him not only did not stop him, but also stepped forward to help him.

...Has this world finally gone mad?

At this moment, the door suddenly opened and another student from another school walked out.

"Nakamori, are you okay? Yagyu..."

Fuji Shusuke's words disappeared when he saw the glowing stun gun in Nakamori Akimi's hand.

"Don't worry, didn't I tell you yesterday that I would use some special methods?"

Nakamori Akimi looked unharmed, he just shook his wrist which was a little swollen and painful. He had twisted it because he hadn't caught it just now.

"...How about Yagyū?"

"He's fine, but why are you here?" Nakamori Akimi was a little confused. "Aren't you going to the tennis club? And Sanada-san?"

"Nio told us. Sorry, Nakamori-san, I scared you." Sanada Genichirō was quite ashamed. "I don't know why our members would do such a thing..."

"No, it's okay, Sanada-san." Nakamori Akimi could already foresee the long string of apologies that were about to come. "There might have been some misunderstanding between me and Yagyu-san and the others, but it's been resolved now. Could you please tell Yagyu-san that I might have to go back today? I'll call him later about the quiz contest. Thank you so much."

As Sanada Genichirō seemed to be hesitant to speak, Nakamori Akimi stepped aside, revealing the person who had fainted on the ground.

"By the way, Sanada-san, although the electric shock I used wasn't very strong, you should still send him to the infirmary first, just in case."

"I'm so sorry, Nakamori-san."

Having said that, Genichirō Sanada had nothing more to say and could only send Hiroshi Yagyu to the health room.

"Are you really okay?"

Fuji Shusuke confirmed again.

"Don't worry, instead of worrying about me, you should worry about Yagyu Hiroshi." Nakamori Akimi leaned close to him and whispered, "I drank the stuff."

Let’s not talk about the violence of the process for now, as long as the result is satisfactory, that’s enough.

"The Tears of the Ocean are on him? Also, where did you get the bitter melon?"

"He's very well prepared today and is waiting for me there. As for the bitter melon, of course I carry it with me, so I can take it out if the opportunity arises. Look, didn't I use it today?"

Nakamori Akimi pulled out a small bottle, the liquid still sloshing inside. "I still have some, do you want some?"

"No, keep it for yourself. You might need it again." Fuji Shusuke declined. "By the way, the system still hasn't appeared?"

"No, it can't even protect itself right now, so it shouldn't be able to help us. I don't know if Yagyu will be any use, let's just wait and see. We also don't know what to do with Niou Masaharu either."

Nakamori Akimi was quite distressed.

"We can only take it one step at a time now." Fuji Shusuke was very open-minded. "Did the system tell you how the world will change after everyone returns to normal? For example, what signs will there be?"

"coma."

"What?"

"When the game is removed from this world, everyone will fall into a coma. When they wake up, the world will be back to normal."

"A new world after opening our eyes?" Fuji Shusuke was very interested. "I don't know if we will retain the memories of this period. It can be regarded as a strange journey."

"Memories?"

Nakamori Akimi had not thought about this problem yet. Just as she was thinking about it, her cell phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the notes.

"Atobe?"
