Chapter 34
In the blink of an eye, the person to be confessed changed from Sakurada Juri to Atobe Keigo.
After Akimi Nakamori called, the call rang for a long time before Keigo Atobe answered.
"Atobe, I was wrong. I shouldn't have hung up on you just now. Someone as noble, elegant, and generous as you would definitely not care about such a trivial matter, right?"
As soon as the other party answered the call, Nakamori Akimi started to flatter him.
"Hmph, stop flattering me."
Although he said so, the other party was obviously enjoying it, and there was an unconcealable joy in the ending tone.
Atobe Keigo, a very easy-to-please extinct young master.
"Thank you for your generosity, Atobe-kun."
Nakamori Akimi naturally climbed up the pole very quickly.
"Have you seen the video Sakurada sent you?"
After the small talk, it’s time to get down to business.
"Ah, I saw it. The one in that man's hand is indeed the Tear of the Ocean, but I have no impression of him at all."
"Isn't he from the Rikkai University Tennis Club? It seems he already knows something, so he asked someone else to test you."
A very dangerous person—
"Is there a possibility that he was disguised as himself? I don't think his posture and expression seem like someone else."
After reading too many novels, Nakamori Akimi began to think divergently and had wild ideas.
There was no answer from the other side for a long time. Nakamori Akimi licked the corner of his lips awkwardly. Well, people like Atobe Keigo would never understand their novel girls. -
"You have a point."
Just when Nakamori Akimi gave up and wanted to change the subject, Atobe Keigo suddenly spoke.
"I looked it up, and this kind of disguise technique does exist in this world." The sound of keyboard tapping could be heard from Atobe Keigo's side. "According to the settings of some games, the probability of a high school student being able to disguise themselves is small, but it's not impossible."
Nakamori Akimi couldn't describe her current mood for the time being. It felt a little strange and a little helpless. She didn't expect that Atobe Keigo didn't complain about her, but instead talked to her seriously about this topic.
"There is a person at Rikkai University who can transform into someone else's appearance."
"Transformed into someone else's appearance?" Nakamori Akimi repeated uncertainly. "Is it just a direct transformation?"
Disguise and transformation are two different things. One is to change appearance through technical means, and the other is to directly change to a fantasy magic channel.
"Ah well, that's his tennis skill, it's kind of an imitation."
Rikkai University's tennis skills were copied... "Are you talking about Niou Masaharu?"
Nakamori Akimi thought back to the previous training competitions, and if he really wanted to say it, it seemed that it was not impossible.
If you think about it this way, although the world is a bit upside down now, the original world didn’t seem normal either.
"It does seem possible, but didn't you say last time that the only one who was unusual at Rikkai University was Genichirō Sanada?"
"People can pretend. If you're not sure, confront them face to face."
Atobe Keigo's words completely stunned Nakamori Akihiko.
"What?"
"Just follow me after school tomorrow. That's it. I'm done."
Before Nakamori Akimi could react, Atobe Keigo hung up the phone.
Does this mean he's taking her to Rikkai University? While a face-to-face confrontation might reveal his true intentions, it could also lead to his murderous intent!
Judging from the man's low-key attitude, he is a guy of higher rank than Fuji Shusuke. Maybe this time he is not just committing suicide for love, but directly dismembering his body!
The consequence of thinking too much was that Nakamori Akimi had a nightmare. She was chased by a faceless guy with a knife all night. When she woke up the next day, she bumped into the door in a trance.
She had a feeling that she would be unlucky today.
——It’s really unlucky!
First, I didn’t bring my homework when it was collected in the morning, so I was called to the office and scolded. Then I found out that I had dropped out of the top five in the midterm exam, and the subject that held me back was the one for which I didn’t bring my homework.
Now he is locked in the sports warehouse again and the power inside has been cut off.
Why……
Nakamori Akimi sat on the mat, his chin supported by his hands, and sighed helplessly in the darkness.
"Will this show a strategy option, 5744?"
[No, Ms. Nakamori, you can do whatever you want.]
She can't do anything with her free play. Shouldn't she call for help at this point?
Nakamori Akimi took out his cell phone, no signal?
She held the phone and turned around, bumping into countless things along the way, but there was still no signal.
"I remember there was a signal here before."
[I just checked and found that the signal here is blocked.]
"Could it be a signal jammer?"
Nakamori Akimi sat back down speechlessly.
"Why don't you contact your superior, and have him contact Atobe, and ask him to come and save me."
[Sorry, Ms. Nakamori, I'm being contacted through a single line, and I can only reach 0587 and the others occasionally.]
She wasn't surprised at all by the unreliable guy.
Sure enough, it is better to save yourself than to rely on others.
Nakamori Akimi looked around. If she were good at sports, she could try to jump out of the window above by stepping on the stacked boxes. But she was a sports idiot with a stiff body, and it was dark here. If she accidentally fell down, she would be finished.
If I knock on the door and ask for help, there is a high probability that no one is there in this remote place, and it would be a waste of energy. I should have known not to come here and be lazy.
Forget it, let it be. Someone will notice she’s missing and come looking for her during the next class.
Taking advantage of the time he was locked up to catch up on some sleep, Nakamori Akimi lay down and closed his eyes with peace of mind.
Suddenly, the sound of a key unlocking a door came from outside. Nakamori Akimi tilted her head and looked over. In the dim light and shadow, her eyes squinted due to the sudden strong light, and the blurry silhouette of the girl fell into her eyes.
This height, this hair color...
"Sakurada-san?"
The person who pushed open this heavy door and gave her light was Sakurada Juri.
What a dramatic fate indeed—
"Nakamori-san, I've already warned you, why are you still so careless?"
The slightly raised eyebrows and curved eyes brought the stunned Nakamori Akimi back to reality.
"Hmm..." She patted her butt and stood up. "Maybe it's because the rose is so beautiful that people ignore its thorns?"
"But a rose with thorns is danger itself."
This sentence... is so well said!
In fact, Nakamori Akimi is really a serious literary girl. Although she likes to read some melodramatic love stories, she prefers poetic language more.
"Sakurada-san," Nakamori Akimi eagerly grabbed her hand, "Would you like to do me a favor? Let's pull out these unnecessary thorns together!"
***
The unnecessary thorns had not been found yet, so after school, Nakamori Akimi got into a car with the thorny rose, heading for Kanagawa Rikkai University Affiliated High School.
"What are you thinking about?"
From the moment he got into the car until now, Nakamori Akimi has been in a daze.
"Thinking of the thorny rose."
Unprepared, Nakamori Akimi blurted out.
"ha?"
Atobe Keigo had an expression on his face that said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Hmm... perfume, perfume. I smelled it on someone else last time. It smelled pretty good. I was thinking of trying it one of these days."
Nakamori Akimi tried to get away with it by laughing it off. It wouldn't be a big deal if she said it, though, and maybe Atobe Keigo would even praise her for having good taste.
"Thorny Rose, is there such a perfume?"
“It’s a niche brand, you’ve definitely never heard of it.”
In fact, she herself had never heard of it.
"The Thorn Rose—it's a nice name, I'll try it when I get a chance."
"No!"
"Um?"
Atobe Keigo immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at her, a sharp but non-aggressive question.
"The smell of this scent doesn't suit you." Nakamori Akimi began brainstorming. "It's a cloyingly sweet scent, not very suitable for men."
"Do you like sweet taste?"
It's a normal question. After all, Nakamori Akimi's daily dressing style is not at all sweet.
"Just try it once in a while." Nakamori Akimi smiled sheepishly. "By the way, what excuse did you use to take me to Rikkai University?"
"You're asking now? Aren't you afraid I'll sell you out?"
"Don't say that, Atobe. What you said is totally unbefitting of your noble status."
"I'm going to meet the student council president of Rikkai University this time. As for you, just wander around the Rikkai University campus. Those who are interested will naturally come to you."
"What if he doesn't come?"
"No, he will come." Atobe Keigo smiled confidently, "He's here, let's go down."
The driver opened the door, Keigo Atobe strutted out of the car, followed closely by Akihiro Nakamori.
Rikkai University, such a heavy-feeling school. Isn’t this school gate much better than the golden gate of Hyotei now?
It is now club time after school, and there are many people coming in and out of the school gate.
When the students saw the uniforms of other schools, they subconsciously took a few glances at them, and then looked up from the uniforms to see that recognizable face.
"Is that Keigo Atobe from Hyotei?"
"Yeah, there's no other face like that."
"What is he doing in our school again?"
"Is that his girlfriend next to him? She's such a tall girl."
It seems that Hyotei is the only one who is severely affected by the background board. The students of Rikkai University may talk about it, but it is all within the normal range.
"Let's go, Nakamori."
Atobe Keigo walked in front with his hands in his pockets, looking very cool.
The uncle from the security department must have received the notice in advance, and Nakamori Akimi followed Atobe Keigo into the school gate easily.
"If you have any problems, call me, okay?"
"I understand, President. Go ahead and do your best. The talks went smoothly."
Then they parted ways, Keigo Atobe went straight to the student council, while Akimi Nakamori started wandering around.
The styles of Rikkai University and Hyotei are really different, even worlds apart. Also, they're so huge.
Nakamori Akimi completely lost his way in the huge Rikkai University campus and walked into an unknown wooded area.
"Where is this?"
Nakamori Akimi looked around, completely unable to tell the direction.
Whatever, I'm just wandering around anyway, so I'll just go wherever I end up.
As I was walking, I suddenly heard a few dull collisions and the rustling of leaves.
Nakamori Akimi's eyebrows twitched and he looked over cautiously.
There shouldn't be any danger in a youthful campus, right?
She moved closer to the source of the sound, and the noise became louder and louder. With a roar of "Damn it", Nakamori Akimi saw the culprit of the sound.
With black curly hair, he was waving a test paper covered with check marks and marked with sad red numbers.
——Hiss, is this the score a normal person can get?
