    Hayasaka Ai’s Punishment Game

    Looking at the boy in front of her who was completely unfamiliar, wearing black-rimmed glasses.

    Kitagami Yoru was stunned for a moment.

    He directly thought Aki Tomoya was the kind of admirer of Kasumigaoka Utaha, who came to cause trouble for him.

    “I am Kitagami Yoru, do you have something?” Kitagami Yoru replied afterward.

    “Are you following Utahas-senpai?” Aki Tomoya swallowed hard, feeling a bit nervous himself.

    Kitagami Yoru showed an expression of confusion; at this moment, it felt as if the air had become still like Shizuka.

    Following Kasumigaoka Utaha?

    What was going on?

    Kitagami Yoru’s mind was blank, looking at the strange Aki Tomoya in front of him with confusion.

    “Just be careful yourself.” Aki Tomoya was just probing.

    At that time, Kasumigaoka Utaha only told him it might have been Kitagami Yoru who did it.

    He also had to help Eriri find her backpack.

    Then, Aki Tomoya quickly left.

    Without even glancing at Kato Megumi walking with Kitagami Yoru.

    “What an impolite person, not at all polite.”

    “And Kasumigaoka Utaha was being followed?”

    Kitagami Yoru came back to his senses, saying with a strange expression.

    “His name is Aki Tomoya.” Kato Megumi’s eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.

    “Kato-san knows him?” Kitagami Yoru looked at Kato Megumi curiously.

    “Yes, we’re in the same class, but I don’t know him well.” Kato Megumi’s expression returned to normal.

    In her heart, she had labeled Aki Tomoya as an impolite classmate.

    “Forget it, let’s go.” Kitagami Yoru shook his head, putting the matter aside.

    Due to the Cosplay Exhibition and release event today, Akihabara was bustling with people coming and going.

    Kitagami Yoru used his large body to protect Kato Megumi, pushing through the crowd from the Cosplay Exhibition area, squeezing out a distance of over a hundred meters.

    Finally, there were fewer people around; it wasn’t so crowded anymore.

    “Kitagami-san, wait a moment.”

    Walking ahead, Kato Megumi suddenly called out to Kitagami Yoru.

    Looking back, Kato Megumi was holding a beige canvas bag, quite plain, covered with footprints and dust.

    “What is this?” Kitagami Yoru asked curiously.

    “A bag I just found in the crowd…,” Kato Megumi said as she turned her head to look at the sea of people behind her, as black and dense as a tidal wave.

    Her voice trailed off, and she beckoned Kitagami Yoru towards her, opening her backpack.

    Looking inside, Kitagami Yoru saw a book, a pencil case, and some miscellaneous items.

    Kato Megumi curiously took out the so-called book and examined it closely.

    The cover was made of high-quality leather, square, very delicate, heavy, and large.

    “This seems to be an artbook, not a regular book,” Kitagami Yoru commented.

    “It looks quite high-end,” Kato Megumi nodded slightly, flipping open the artbook.

    On this page, there was a drawing of a long cylindrical object, like a stick…

    The two of them didn’t recognize what it was at first.

    Then, Kitagami Yoru reacted quickly and looked up abruptly.

    “This is…” Kato Megumi closed the artbook, her eyes frantically meeting Kitagami Yoru’s, looking somewhat at a loss.

    Her usual calm expression was gone, with her ears slightly flushed.

    “Is this the author’s sketchbook that got lost here?” Kitagami Yoru thought strangely, suddenly feeling goosebumps all over his body.

    The two remained silent in this state for a while.

    After some time, Kato Megumi put the artbook away and placed it back in her backpack.

    Whispering softly, she said, “What bad luck~”.

    After speaking, she secretly observed Kitagami Yoru’s reaction.

    She was almost too embarrassed to be around him.

    “Let’s take the sketchbook to the police station,” Kitagami Yoru suggested.

    “Okay.” Kato Megumi quickly gave her backpack to Kitagami Yoru without saying anything.

    Along the way, both of them had seen things they shouldn’t have, and they kept silent about it, not uttering a word until they delivered the items to the nearby police station.

    The officer explained that after exceeding the time limit of over a month with no owner found, these things belonged to Kitagami Yoru.

    “Phew~ who knows what was drawn inside.”

    Standing in front of the police station’s main gate, Kitagami Yoru looked at the golden treasure chest on top of Kato Megumi’s head.

    The progress bar seems to have increased to 8%, almost reaching 9%.

    I wonder what it would look like when the treasure chest progress bar is full.

    “Don’t talk about it, Kitagami-san.” Kato Megumi felt a bit embarrassed and turned her head away.

    At the same time, she thought to herself: “Why is it different from the biology book? It’s so real…”

    That thing kept lingering in Kato Megumi’s mind.

    Being near Kitagami Yoru, who is a male, made her feel uneasy.

    At the station near Akihabara, Kitagami Yoru and Kato Megumi parted ways.

    Their trains were going in different directions.

    Kitagami Yoru came out of the restroom at the transfer point and waited for his train on the platform.

    In the distance, a group of high school girls seemed to be waiting for the same train.

    “Hey, are you looking at that? Is that the disgusting fat otaku?”

    “Wow, it really is him! He’s waiting for the train too?”

    “Should we go tease him?”

    “I have a suggestion, let’s decide with a game of rock-paper-scissors and the loser has to confess to him.”

    “Huh?”

    Among the high school girls, Hayasaka Ai, who had her hair in a side ponytail and was the prettiest, was surprised.

    These people around her were supposedly her friends.

    At Shuichi Academy, she was known as a cheerful girl who got along well with many people.

    To maintain this superficial relationship, Hayasaka Ai had to occasionally hang out with her so-called “spicy” friends.

    “I’m in, let’s do it.”

    “I’m also in. Just thinking about that disgusting fat otaku and the reaction he might have when a cute girl confesses to him makes me want to laugh.”

    “Now I’m looking forward to it too.”

    “Hayasaka, are you in?”

    Someone called out to Hayasaka Ai who was lost in thought.

    “I… I’ll participate…”

    Hayasaka Ai twitched at the corner of her mouth, thinking to herself about how bad her fake friends were.

    The thought of possibly giving Kitaami Yoru, a disgusting fat otaku, her first confession made her eye twitch.

    Hayasaka Ai knew Kitaami Yoru quite well after checking his detailed information and shopping records.

    “Forget it, it’s just a game.”

    I’m not really into Kitagami Yoru.

    Hayasaka Ai comforts herself in her heart.

    Rock Paper Scissors!

    The jk girls were quite excited, it’s just for fun, bear with the discomfort and say it.

    “Rock!” Hayasaka Ai throws out rock.

    “Yay, I won.”

    Hayasaka Ai’s mouth twitches, the girl across from her jumps up excitedly.

    “It’s okay, there’s still a chance.” Hayasaka Ai takes a breath and looks at her new opponent.

    “Scissors!”

    The next second, the blonde-haired girl with side ponytail’s face freezes.

    Her fair, soft hand maintains the scissors gesture, a feeling of wanting to cry but unable to do so arises.

    “Hey, Hayasaka is so pretty, does she have a boyfriend?”

    “I don’t know, there are many people pursuing her, but it seems she doesn’t like guys?”

    Hayasaka Ai’s friends watch Hayasaka Ai’s back and talk with malicious smiles, taking out their phones to take pictures.

    “North… North…”

    Kitagami Yoru, playing on his phone, hears someone calling him.

    He turns his head and recognizes it’s Hayasaka Ai.

    But Ai’s pretty face is stiff and a bit twisted.

    Kitagami Yoru is stunned because there’s also a golden treasure chest on Hayasaka Ai’s head.

    “Come on, hurry up and say it.”

    At this moment, Hayasaka Ai grits her teeth, shouts in her heart, and quickly bends down.

    “Kitagami-san, please go out with me!”

    The voice isn’t loud, but Kitagami Yoru hears it clearly.

    “Huh?!”

    Kitagami Yoru jumps in surprise, thinking he might have misheard.

    Suddenly, laughter sounds from a distance.

    “Don’t tell me, this is just a punishment for the game.”

    Hayasaka Ai takes a deep breath, warns Kitagami Yoru harshly, and quickly runs away.

    Kitagami Yoru finally understood that these people were just looking for fun by teasing him; he clenched his fists in anger.

    However, Hayasaka Ai, who was completely unrelated to him, also had a golden treasure chest on her head?
