"WAAAAA!!!! OutSafe Rock-Paper-Scissors!!!"
Without needing Miss Kada-ko's help, Miyazawa Yu and Kohei Imamura were already chanting strange calls themselves.
Each holding a conviction of certain victory, they presented their final answer to the audience in front of the stage.
"Emmm..."
Kada-ko was a little unhappy about the temporary power grab, but the stage effect was quite good, so she didn't mind. The large screen behind her broadcasted the two people's hand gestures in real-time.
Scissors versus Rock. As for who the final winner is...
His heart was pounding wildly, Kohei Imamura stood stiffly in place, his eyes tightly closed.
However, a person must always face reality, and Miss Kada-ko's voice soon reached his ears.
"Then let's congratulate contestant Miyazawa Yu, number 5000, for winning the Collector's Edition game! Also, thank you to all the guests for your support!"
"Heh... so it still wasn't enough."
Blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, his heart pierced by the sword named Cuckoldry. Kohei Imamura slowly fell forward with tears in his eyes.
Yu, you jerk, you were still the superior one...
"Ah! Kohei is dead!"
"Ehh—don't worry, he's probably just overly saddened."
Sighing, Chisa Kotegawa found that these three scumbags of the Pab Club were merciless when backstabbing each other, truly living up to their scumbag nature.
"Hi! Will all the winners please come up for a photo, and this person here?"
"He's still alive. Just take the photo, don't worry about him."
Carrying the incapacitated Kohei, Miyazawa Yu entered the photo frame like a hunter returning from a hunt with his prey, naturally receiving his prize and taking photos under everyone's extremely curious gaze.
"Congratulations, Yu-senpai and Kohei-senpai, is Senpai Kohei okay?"
Below the stage, although Yū Ishigami had tried his best to convince himself that this was how friends interact.
But looking at Kohei Imamura, who had lost his shine and whose cheeks were sunken inward, he couldn't help but ask.
Miyazawa Yu waved his hand dismissively and comforted him: "It's fine, you see, just like this..."
He fanned the half-dead Kohei with the Collector's Edition game disc twice, and the latter immediately reached out to grab it, but naturally gained nothing.
"See! He's still full of vigor!"
Bastard!!!
Not only did he kill his spirit, but he even played with the only remaining body! Is this really how friends interact?
"Um... Brother, are you selling the Collector's Edition? I can offer three million! I can add more if needed!"
Just then, seeing no one was paying attention to this area, a strange person wearing a cloak suddenly darted in front of Miyazawa Yu, with only a pair of yearning eyes visible beneath the hood.
She bumped him, and it was soft.
And judging by the voice, she must be a girl. Aina Yoshiwara was momentarily stunned, and then she caught the blind spot: "Wait! How much?"
"The estimated retail price for the physical Collector's Edition is around five hundred thousand. A five hundred percent markup! Three million, this is the limit of the markup for Miss Kada-ko!"
A small hand extended from beneath the FFF-Cult-like cloak, the girl shaking it impatiently, clearly meaning cash on delivery.
"Wait... three million... won through rock-paper-scissors. Is this strip rock-paper-scissors thing really that profitable?"
Her head was a mess. Aina Yoshiwara considered herself worldly, but winning three million through rock-paper-scissors was a bit too ridiculous!
Poking Miyazawa Yu's side twice, she had mosquito coils in her eyes: "W-What should we do, Yu, should we, should we sell it, we could sell a ton of Collector's Editions, hey!"
"What are you thinking! It's not good to be so obsessed with money, Aina. Sorry, little sister, this is not for sale!"
"...Is that so? I apologize for disturbing you."
Her voice instantly became disappointed, but the person who came was clearly a well-mannered young lady from a wealthy family.
After being rejected, she didn't make a scene or haggle, but immediately bowed, apologized, and left, showcasing excellent manners.
Of course, if what she was buying wasn't an Eroge voice actress, Miyazawa Yu might have respected her a little more.
"Alright, now let's start dividing the loot and get ready to go home."
"Eh? Dividing the loot? You're giving up three million just like that?"
"Yeah, this is the game Yū wanted. But I'll keep the single CD and the MP3 electronic version of the music soundtrack, sorry."
Without hesitation, Miyazawa Yu tore open the standard edition set, casually handing the storage disk and activation code to Yū Ishigami, who immediately refused.
"No need, Senpai, after all, I didn't help much..."
"Since you called me Senpai, consider it a welcome gift. You really wanted to play this kind of early-access game, right?"
Refusal was invalid. If that guy Iori had been more capable and won three copies, giving away the CD along with it wouldn't have been a problem.
However, that disgrace of the Pab Club was too shameful, to be defeated by a mere younger-category-loving uncle!
"..."
This was the first time a senpai had been willing to treat him like this. Yū Ishigami's arm beneath his long sleeve was too stiff to bend, so he could only hold it up flatly and accept the item that didn't belong to him.
"Thank you, Yu-senpai!"
"Well! That's the spirit. It's only right for a senior to look after his junior! Take it easy!"
A relaxed smile appeared on his face. Miyazawa Yu was glad that Yū didn't cry, or else he would have had to let the other person know that the men of the Pab Club don't believe in tears.
As for the remaining original music from the game...
Under Chisa glittering eyes, Miyazawa Yu pushed through the pressure and handed it to Iori—Kid, this is the only thing I can do! Seize the opportunity!
"???"
Question marks sprang up in his eyes, feeling very useless. Iori Kitahara held the CD and MP3 soundtrack and thought for a long time, unable to figure out why Yu would give these to him.
The next second, Chisa fiery gaze swept over him, and his body instantly shook—
"..."
He's somewhat interested in Chisa, but not much, and he's unaware that Aina likes him.
Miyazawa Yu looked at the twisted combination in front of him, his temples throbbing with a headache.
Forget it, let this fool deal with it however he wants, he doesn't want to worry about it anymore!
"Hey! You too, get up and say something nice, and I'll give it to you!"
"Otōsan (Dad)! Woof!"
"Yoshi, it's yours!"
Kohei Imamura's begging was sincere, and his posture was very standard, even exposing his belly. Miyazawa Yu directly threw the remaining Collector's Edition, which carried the scent of Eroge, onto his stomach.
"But I've always had a question. Kohei, you don't have a VR device, right? So how are you going to play the game?"
"It's fine!"
Revived with full health, holding the game with Miss Kada-ko on the cover, Kohei Imamura gave a thumbs-up with a comfortable expression and explained: "I'll edit out all the built-in CGs, put them next to my pillow, and listen to them while I sleep!"
"That's disgusting..."
He regretted it a little. The thought of this guy wearing headphones and writhing madly in bed every night made Miyazawa Yu feel like it was a blasphemy against Teacher Kada-ko.
Indeed, it might be better to dispose of unrecyclable trash like Kohei directly; keeping him will only pollute pure voice actresses and the two-dimensional world.
"But... in that case, Yu, won't you be left with nothing?"
Everyone got what they wanted. Aina Yoshiwara tilted her head, finally emerging from the shadow of Iori and Chisa getting closer.
But when she tallied it up, she found that the biggest contributor had empty hands, wasn't this a little inappropriate?
"It's okay. It's enough that everyone is satisfied with the trip to Tokyo."
Gently glancing at Chisa, who was genuinely smiling after successfully negotiating for the CD, Miyazawa Yu suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
"And what I want is not something as simple as a game. That is much more exciting than the game!"
With a wicked smile, he slightly tilted his head and continued to explain with a meaningful expression: "As long as I feed them all, when I do the real thing, no one will be able to interrupt me."
"Am I right, Aina?"
"Mhm! Righ—"
Her pupils shook with fear. Aina Yoshiwara wasn't stupid. Looking into Miyazawa Yu's deep eyes, she instantly realized what Miyazawa Yu's ultimate goal was.
Could it be that Yu is going to confess to Nanaka-san at this time?
In that case, she, Senpai Kotobuki, and Senpai Tokita certainly wouldn't stop him. Iori and Kohei, the pillars among the two scumbags, had been bribed, and Chisa, the little loyal one, was already distracted.
It's over! Nanaka-san is in danger!
"Gulp..."
Taking advantage of Miyazawa Yu turning his head to tell everyone to go home, Aina Yoshiwara swallowed and blind-typed a message to her last line of defense—
[Azusa-senpai! Yu is going to confess to Nanaka-san! What should we do!]
However, she was completely unaware that the biggest variable that even Miyazawa Yu was wary of had already given up trying!!!
