Tuesday.
After swiping past the punctual half-moon cat on his phone, Kisaragi Rin returned to his campus life.
Yoshiteru Zaimokuza bent at a 90-degree angle, holding up a rather thick book.
"Kisaragi-san, this is my first draft. Please, in your great benevolence, read it and leave some sharp—no! Don't be too sharp with your opinions!"
"Sounds like you've already received a lot of bad reviews."
Kisaragi Rin reached out and took the book; just by its thickness, he had to commend the chuunibyou's initiative.
It was just that the title was truly a point of ridicule.
"The Rebirth of General Zaimokuza"!
"This title, well… I told you not to use your real name as the protagonist in a novel. People who know you will just think it's a self-indulgent piece, won't they?"
Just looking at the title, Kisaragi Rin had no interest in reading it at all.
"If I change it, will you read it?"
Yoshiteru Zaimokuza asked.
"No."
Kisaragi Rin denied it very decisively.
He returned the draft; he had already approached the Service Club members separately, but unfortunately, only Hachiman Hikigaya and Yuigahama Yui would bother to look at it, then give some bad reviews that were slightly better than online comments.
At this moment, Kato Megumi also arrived in the classroom, a little surprised to see Kisaragi Rin there early today.
"Megumi, long time no see."
"Didn't we just see each other yesterday?"
Kato Megumi put her school bag down, turning her pretty face to ask, "Do you want to go to Hawaii, Kisaragi?"
"What a sudden question."
Then Kisaragi Rin watched Kato Megumi pull a small golden ball out of her school bag.
"Because yesterday when I went to the mall, I happened to draw the grand prize. The grand prize was a family package for three to Hawaii. Unfortunately, I can't go with my parents. Because my presence is too low, they might forget me in Hawaii."
Kato Megumi told a dry joke, "If the embassy doesn't even notice me, then I'll have to find a cruise ship to smuggle myself back to Japan."
"Although it's a joke, it's a bit sad. But can you really win something like this?"
Kisaragi Rin was puzzled. Although in his previous life, he saw characters in Crayon Shin-chan and Detective Conan always winning various travel grand prizes to achieve the feat of traveling the world, in this real world, there's actually a mall that gives them out!
And it's a family package, not a voucher.
"This is because the mall staff didn't even notice me when they were talking."
Kato Megumi: "Um… they just said on the side that the grand prize would be stuck in the upper corner of the lottery box, and then I tried it and actually pulled it out."
Kisaragi Rin: "…"
Very reasonable, but this operation sounds like an everyday comedy. He felt like this was a script Twilight and Anya should be getting.
"Because there's a time limit, it will expire soon if unused," Kato Megumi asked, "Do you need these Hawaii tickets, Kisaragi Rin?"
Well… since it's already Soubu High.
Since it's a high school, there's no requirement to stay in school. Taking a leave from Mafuyu Kirisu, the "counselor," to travel is no problem.
"Uh, not really needed."
Kisaragi Rin was very rich now and didn't lack a few plane tickets to Hawaii. Thinking about that place, he was indeed worried about encountering trouble.
As for the sea, the beach, and beauties unbuttoning their bikinis, waiting for you to promote sunscreen oil?
Later, in the One Piece World, they're everywhere.
"If Megumi has no plans to go, it's better to sell them online."
Kisaragi Rin, embodying the cautious hero, was wary of all accidents.
"Then let's sell them."
Kato Megumi's expression didn't change. She had thought Kisaragi Rin would accept them and invite her to travel.
"Is it because of the players?"
Kato Megumi pondered, quickly clearing her mind and taking out her books to preview the upcoming lessons.
Knowing the extraordinary yet still content with the ordinary, Megumi is truly a remarkable woman who remains unfazed even when Mount Tai collapses before her!
Kisaragi Rin complained inwardly.
Miku next to him didn't come to school because they had to undergo Nakano Maruo's rigorous training for the next three days to integrate their powers.
Moreover, it was troublesome for the five of them to share one body and appear at school now. It was better to just find an excuse and take a temporary leave together.
No one really cared, after all, these five quintuplets hadn't been at Soubu High for many days anyway.
Only Mafuyu Kirisu, she gazed at Kisaragi Rin, directly concluding that Kisaragi Rin knew something, trying to force out the real reason for the five quintuplets' sudden leave.
And the result was naturally useless.
"Humiliation."
Mafuyu Kirisu's dignity was long gone.
On the podium, the teacher, dressed in a pink business suit and black pantyhose, had a stern gaze. Kisaragi Rin, sitting below the podium, was exceptionally attentive to the lecture today.
The sunlight outside the window was a bit harsh; summer had arrived without him realizing it.
Even the lingering evil spirits in the air all found a shadow to huddle together, letting the powerful evil spirits occasionally grab a small one and stuff it into their mouths, emitting a bizarre sound like a Parasite opening its petal-like head.
"What a beautiful everyday life," Kisaragi Rin sighed.
Unfortunately, beauty is beautiful precisely because of that moment after passing through trouble.
After class, he arrived at the Service Club, where a woman with a foxy smile waved cheerfully at him, signaling that the beautiful everyday life could temporarily end.
"Why did she still come?"
Kisaragi Rin looked at Yukinoshita Yukino; the person who arrived was none other than her older sister, Yukinoshita Haruno.
Saber was also sitting here; besides her, the other club members must have been sent away by her.
"I can't help it…"
Yukinoshita Yukino responded with her eyes. Yukinoshita Haruno rested her hand on her face, her eyes narrowing with a smile as she watched their "intimate" interaction.
Like a fox demon from Tushan, Yukinoshita Haruno asked seriously:
"Kisaragi-san, are you satisfied with Yukino-chan?
Although Yukino-chan is a 'flat chest' now, judging by my and her mother's genes, there should be no problem developing to a normal level in the future. Anyway, Yukino-chan will marry sooner or later. As long as Kisaragi is willing, I think Mother would be very happy to let Yukino-chan marry you."
"Sister!"
Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes turned slightly cold.
Unfortunately, neither of them cared.
Kisaragi Rin: "Even as a concubine?"
"That kind of title is too much."
Yukinoshita Haruno: "No matter what, she should at least have the status of a wife."
"Kisaragi-san! Yukinoshita Haruno!"
Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't stand it anymore.
Saber, however, raised her hand and delivered another blow, "I saw Kisaragi become a king. Perhaps Yukino-chan could use the title of queen."
Kisaragi Rin: "…"
"So how did you see that?"
"It was a feeling."
The crown on his head could be turned off, and Saber didn't know why she could feel it.
"So, what's the matter?"
No longer teasing Yukinoshita Yukino, Kisaragi Rin sat to the side and returned to the main topic.
"I've come to deliver a thank-you gift."
Yukinoshita Haruno took out a box, opened it, and pushed it in front of Kisaragi Rin.
