Ryunosuke returned home.
Megumi had been waiting for him for a long time. Coincidentally, Ryunosuke wasn't full yet, and Megumi had cooked dinner, so he sat down and enjoyed being fed by Megumi as usual.
Ryunosuke opened his small mouth and leaned on the table, as always, becoming an emotionless eating machine.
Megumi didn't complain at all; fundamentally, this was what she had always longed for. Making Ryunosuke unable to leave her, unable to leave for his entire life...
It didn't take long before Ryunosuke was full.
Megumi took something out of her bag, about to do "that thing" as usual. Ryunosuke immediately reached out to stop her.
"Megumi, tonight we have business to settle. Can we stop for a moment?"
Megumi stopped her movement, put the item back in her bag, and nodded in understanding.
Ryunosuke breathed a sigh of relief. He remembered the words Narumori had said to him. Tsukishiro had the authority to interfere with the Student Council election, so he had to resolve this problem tonight.
Ryunosuke locked his room door, brought Megumi along with him, and at the same time called Ayanokouji to ask for help.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
On the other side, at the Chairman's office.
The newly appointed Chairman Tsukishiro was holding a wine glass, swirling the red wine inside while gazing at the scenery outside the window with pride.
"Akasaka, and Young Master Ayanokouji, do you like the gift I gave you?"
Tsukishiro chuckled softly and drank his red wine in one gulp, looking very pleased.
To make things difficult for both of them, while also taking revenge for being hung at the school gate, he had done a lot of interfering.
First, putting the students with the worst grades into their class. Then changing the school rules so they would be expelled, forcing Ryunosuke and the others to spend points to save them. Additionally, at yesterday's command tower match, he changed Class C's match results so they would lose.
Although that defeat only deducted 50 class points, Tsukishiro's main goal was to disgust them. He was the type of person who held grudges deeply, especially grudges from being humiliated and losing his reputation.
Tsukishiro didn't realize that Ryunosuke was far more vengeful than him, and was currently on his way.
Because he was slightly drunk from the wine, Tsukishiro intended to return to rest. He locked his office door, but just as he was preparing to leave, he suddenly felt pain in his neck.
This familiar sensation... exactly like that time...
Tsukishiro didn't have time to react; he was paralyzed by a stun gun and fell sprawling to the floor.
The culprit was none other than the Grand Assassin, Kato Megumi.
Megumi took advantage of her characteristic "thin presence" (as if invisible) to sneak into the Chairman's office without a sound. If anyone else tried, this would be impossible because there were surveillance cameras everywhere that would definitely catch them.
After neutralizing her target, Megumi turned off the surveillance cameras in that office, then called Ryunosuke to tell him everything was done. She didn't leave but waited there in silence.
Not long after, Ayanokouji and Ryunosuke arrived with their hands in their pockets.
Ayanokouji saw Tsukishiro lying there and secretly felt impressed.
(This is truly a miracle! If I mastered this technique, why would I worry about being captured back to the White Room? I might have just stepped in and could get out again without anyone noticing.)
Ayanokouji was very envious of Megumi's ability. He had once asked to be taught, but unfortunately the other party said she couldn't; it was an innate ability that couldn't be taught to others.
Ayanokouji felt very regretful, even briefly considered winning this woman over. However, unfortunately, "this beautiful flower already had an owner," and he didn't feel confident he could take her from Ryunosuke.
Most importantly, he didn't want to ruin his relationship with Ryunosuke yet because he still needed this person to help him handle the problems sent by his father.
Based on that consideration, Ayanokouji canceled his intention to pursue Megumi. He wasn't the type of person who did something without certainty of results.
Ryunosuke kicked Tsukishiro's body lying on the floor.
"You were the first to flip the table on me. Originally, if you had played honestly according to the game rules, I wouldn't have done anything to you. But instead you used your status as referee to cheat as you pleased."
"Since that's the case, let's not play at all—let's destroy the table together!"
Ryunosuke looked at Ayanokouji.
"Hit him fairly hard. Make him have to lie in the hospital for at least three months—until the third-year graduation arrives. Don't let him come out to cause chaos."
Receiving that order, Ayanokouji nodded flatly in understanding, but a glimmer of joy flashed briefly in his eyes.
Ryunosuke brought Megumi outside. Let Ayanokouji handle the rest. The two of them went to the building's rooftop to enjoy the view.
Megumi sat there, while Ryunosuke lay on her lap, enjoying a lap pillow. Megumi gently stroked his hair to calm him.
Not long after, Ayanokouji returned and signaled that everything was done.
Ryunosuke waved his hand telling him to go home; he still wanted to be alone with Megumi longer. Ayanokouji left resignedly, not wanting to be a third wheel.
Not long after, the two of them also went home. After all, the night was very cold; it was more comfortable being under the blankets...
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
The next morning, the newly appointed Tsukishiro was rushed to the hospital in an emergency. Although his life wasn't threatened, at least he wouldn't be able to get out of bed for three months. Ayanokouji's attack was truly precisely calculated. Not more, not less, exactly three months.
With this, Tsukishiro no longer had the right to interfere with next month's Student Council President election.
Ryunosuke deliberately asked for the target to be hospitalized for three months to ensure Manabu could graduate safely. That way, when the third-year students graduated, Tsukishiro would still be in the hospital, so Manabu would be safe.
Ryunosuke had to do this as a precautionary measure. Because he was too close to Manabu, inevitably Manabu would definitely be dragged into this problem.
For Manabu's sake—and especially for the sake of Manabu's wallet's contents—he had to guarantee that man's physical safety.
The outdoor camping exam also arrived.
Because of Ryunosuke's intervention, Nagumo didn't have time to attack Manabu like in the original story. Tachibana Akane also successfully got through this outdoor camping period safely.
Because Nagumo's points had been drained by Ryunosuke previously, he didn't have the power to attack Manabu. This was a deliberate move by Ryunosuke.
Everything was done to protect the Student Council President's wallet...
Manabu's wallet: (You protect me like this, I don't even know what to say, I might as well just give myself to you~)
Manabu's wallet showed a shy expression.
