Chapter 219 A Wild Bunny Girl Comes Knocking
"It doesn't matter. As long as you can beat me, I won't object even if you want a harem. But if you lose, you can only marry me. I don't care how many women you keep outside. How about it? Do you dare to agree?"
The conditions Kaguya laid out were not unfavorable. If she lost, Hakuto could do whatever he wanted. If she won, Hakuto would marry her and could do whatever he wanted outside.
But the problem was that Hakuto didn't dare to agree. If he agreed, he would be dead for sure.
To put it bluntly, if Hakuto lost, then a Shuraba would probably be unavoidable.
Hakuto didn't think he would lose. But even if he wouldn't lose, he still couldn't agree.
Nothing is certain. Who knows if some accident might happen, and then he would lose.
Hakuto absolutely would not and could not agree to this kind of thing. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, Hakuto was unwilling to take the risk.
So Hakuto refused Kaguya. "Although I have confidence that I can win, even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, I won't take the risk. So I have to refuse your added stake, Kaguya."
Kaguya looked at Hakuto with some unwillingness. "Then what if I'm still willing to let others in, but only as concubines?"
Hakuto looked at Kaguya and rolled his eyes. "No means no. Even if you try to tempt me, Kaguya, it's useless. I won't agree."
Seeing Hakuto's resolute attitude, Kaguya's face was full of unwillingness, but there was nothing she could do.
Finally, Kaguya took out a card and handed it to Hakuto. "Since you're unwilling, forget it. Here is this card. Inside is the funds the Shinomiya Family used to acquire the Sunset Manor. Also, the game will have its open beta test without data wipe in one week."
Hakuto took the card. He didn't ask how much balance was on it. He waved to Kaguya and walked out.
Watching Hakuto leave, Kaguya sighed. She had thought it was a sure thing, but who knew Hakuto would be so cautious.
Kaguya took an exam paper from her drawer. This was the exam paper for the upcoming test.
Kaguya had spent considerable effort to successfully obtain this exam paper, all for the purpose of securing Hakuto once and for all.
Who knew Hakuto would be so cautious and completely unwilling to take any risks.
After leaving, Hakuto returned to the classroom. Soon after, the bell rang. Then, seeing Shizuka walk in from outside the door, he asked in surprise, "Shizuka-chan, why is it you? Where is Natsuki-chan?"
Hearing Hakuto's address, Shizuka raised an eyebrow. Then she said to Hakuto, "Minamiya-sensei has taken a leave of absence for a while. So now this place is under my management. All you bastards, keep it down."
Instantly, the entire class fell silent. The boys in the class hadn't forgotten Shizuka's reputation, the Iron Fist Old Maid. No one would be foolish enough to go against Shizuka.
Hakuto wondered silently what Natsuki was doing.
After class, he asked Shizuka and found out that Natsuki had been on leave for some time. She had taken leave right after Hakuto went to America.
[Natsuki-chan took leave right after I went to America? And she still hasn't come back? Is there no problem?]
Hakuto hesitated for a moment, then decided to make a call to ask. But the phone indicated it was out of the service area. That meant he couldn't reach Natsuki.
[The phone says it's out of the service area. There shouldn't be any problem, right? I'll ask that smug fox later. She should know something.]
[Speaking of which, during the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual, Hagoromo Kitsune got slashed. Is she okay? I actually care quite a bit about what happened to Hagoromo Kitsune. And when I asked about the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual, that smug fox Yae Miko just said it was already resolved. She didn't mention anything about what happened at all!]
The day's classes passed quietly like this.
Hakuto was about to go home, but to his surprise, he saw a wild bunny girl on campus.
[The Adolescent Boy Who Doesn't Dream of a Bunny-Girl Senior?]
[No, that's not it. I actually saw Sakurajima Mai wearing a bunny girl outfit at school. Looks like she's suffering from Adolescence Syndrome? But that can't be right. Can Adolescence Syndrome even exist in this world?]
Seeing that everyone else seemed to not notice that wild bunny girl at all, Hakuto noticed that the wild bunny girl seemed to have seen him. Then, as if seeing a savior, she ran straight towards him.
"You can see me, right!"
Mai looked at Hakuto, a hint of excitement in her eyes.
Ever since she learned that she would disappear, that no one would remember her anymore, that no one would be able to see her, that she would become a nonexistent person, Mai had tried every possible method to stop it.
But in the end, nothing worked. Finally, Mai had no choice but to come to Hakuto.
Although she wished she could kick this despicable guy a few times, Mai had no choice but to come to him now.
Mai grabbed Hakuto's arm. Hakuto looked at Mai and nodded. "I can see you. So, big star Sakurajima Mai, do you think your fame isn't big enough, so you dressed up as a bunny girl to make tomorrow's trending news?"
Hearing Hakuto's teasing, Mai's face darkened.
'This bastard Hakuto.' Mai really wanted to beat the hell out of him.
"Just kidding. It seems that right now, no one other than me can notice you, right?"
"Yes. Starting some time ago, I began to feel like I was gradually losing my sense of existence. No matter how I called out, no one could hear my voice. Even if I hit someone, they wouldn't notice."
Hearing what Mai said, a malicious smile appeared on Hakuto's face. "That means, even if I were to pull you aside and do some strange things to you right now, no one would notice you, right?"
Mai instantly crossed her arms protectively over her chest.
"Don't worry. Just kidding again."
Seeing Mai like that, Hakuto immediately laughed. Mai also realized she had been toyed with. The veins on her forehead were about to pop out.
"So, do you need help? I might be able to solve the problem you're facing now. Of course, I can only do my best. I can't say I can definitely solve it."
