Chapter 47: A Classic but Effective Overt Plot
🕑 Added 2025-12-07 11:59:16 +0000 UTC“Not exactly.”
“If the students of Year 1, Class C hadn't launched a suicide attack against Year 1, Class B...”
Arisu Sakayanagi, unaware of Natsuki Subaru's internal psychological activity, covered her mouth and chuckled softly: “Perhaps the current Year 1, Class A would already have to attach the word ‘former’ to its name.”
Natsuki Subaru had to admit that his ability to control his emotions had improved just a little bit.
If this were back in the Purge King era, with Arisu Sakayanagi's style of speaking, she wouldn't last three seconds in front of him.
No one dared to pause for breath while speaking in front of Natsuki Subaru. They were terrified that if they spoke a little too slowly, causing Natsuki Subaru to misunderstand something, he would flip a coin immediately.
Compared to Arisu Sakayanagi, Suzune Horikita would actually find it easier to survive in front of Natsuki Subaru. Because she was a straight shooter who said whatever came to mind; for such a person, even if they didn't possess their own color, Natsuki Subaru wouldn't easily be moved to kill.
This kind of behavior where everything could be placed out in the open without concealment—even if it were an enemy, Natsuki Subaru appreciated it. One could even say he liked it.
This was also the reason why, even though Suzune Horikita didn't possess potential similar to Hiyori Shiina, nor did she have a feeling similar to Kikyo Kushida, Natsuki Subaru didn't mind chatting with Suzune Horikita if it was convenient.
“Sakayanagi-san.”
“After grasping the information that I conducted a transaction with Year 1, Class B, are you confident enough to make me play chess with you now?”
He sighed slightly in his heart.
While somewhat pleased that his patience had increased slightly, he also felt a sense of maladjustment to modern society.
Compared to the modern society he was in now, Natsuki Subaru actually preferred the world from the Purge King era. For a guy like Arisu Sakayanagi, just letting Halibel chop her down directly would save so much trouble.
“Of course I have a little confidence.”
“Because Natsuki-kun was unusually candid last time, I came over specially this time to chat with Natsuki-kun.”
“Consider it a friendly reminder in return for your candor last time.”
After hearing Natsuki Subaru's inquiry, the smile on Arisu Sakayanagi's face became even more brilliant. She said, “In order to make Natsuki-kun play a warm-up game of chess with me, I'm going to start making my moves.”
“Let's take the huge amount of personal points Natsuki-kun obtained last month as the core.”
“I am very curious about what form of response Natsuki-kun will adopt when facing such a disturbance.”
“After all, Natsuki-kun said it yourself, you don't care about those things at all.”
Saying this, Arisu Sakayanagi's face revealed an expectant expression.
“I see.”
“A very classic strategy.”
Natsuki Subaru nodded.
Arisu Sakayanagi did not deliberately hide anything in front of Natsuki Subaru; she told him her purpose directly.
It was nothing more than seeing that Natsuki Subaru had earned a sum of personal points by selling intelligence, and his daily behavior could be called extravagant compared to most people, so she would reveal a little bit of these behaviors of Natsuki Subaru.
A very simple principle. People do not worry about scarcity, but rather about uneven distribution.
In front of this group of people in Year 1, Class D who had almost spent all their points, Natsuki Subaru, who still maintained considerable luxury consumption, was already very conspicuous.
Just now, while eating in the cafeteria, Natsuki Subaru had already noticed the gazes of many Year 1, Class D students looking at him. If Arisu Sakayanagi gave it another push at this time...
For example, letting everyone in Year 1, Class D know one thing: that Natsuki Subaru, knowing the school rules long ago, not only did not consider the position of Year 1, Class D, but also sold intelligence to other competing classes.
Holding the personal points from selling intelligence, eating and drinking extravagantly and living freely all day long, while they could only eat the pitiful mountain vegetable set meals and live in misery every day.
No one would blame themselves, blame themselves for not listening carefully in class, or for having an incorrect attitude.
People would only come to blame Natsuki Subaru, feeling that the reason Year 1, Class D fell into such a situation was entirely caused by Natsuki Subaru.
If it weren't for Natsuki Subaru, it would be impossible for Year 1, Class D's points to return to zero.
Even if everything hadn't happened yet, just thinking about it was enough to know what the scene would be like next.
But, it didn't matter.
“Classic, but effective, isn't it?”
Arisu Sakayanagi chuckled softly, “Natsuki-kun, I am looking forward to it.”
Regarding Arisu Sakayanagi's behavior, Natsuki Subaru felt nothing, but he still said with a smile, “Then do your best, Sakayanagi-san.”
“You have a father who loves you.”
After speaking, Natsuki Subaru left the somewhat baffled Arisu Sakayanagi behind and continued walking toward the library.
While walking, he subconsciously touched his neck.
‘That sense of power, not bad.’
“Does he know your dad?”
Masumi Kamuro, who hadn't spoken much, asked with a hint of curiosity after seeing Natsuki Subaru leave, “Could it be that you two have known each other for a long time?”
If that weren't the case, it would be hard to imagine why Natsuki Subaru suddenly dropped a line about Arisu Sakayanagi having a father who loves her.
“Oh my~ I'm curious too.”
“Although my father does love me very much, I should never have met Natsuki-kun before coming to this school. That is a memory that simply does not exist.”
Hearing Masumi Kamuro's slightly curious tone, Arisu Sakayanagi denied it, “However, since Natsuki-kun said so, perhaps he really has met my father, who knows~”
‘Is he mocking me?’
Thinking of this, Arisu Sakayanagi's gaze flickered slightly.
“Is that so?”
“But, are you really going to do this?”
Masumi Kamuro nodded, then hesitated a bit, saying, “If you really do this, it's not very good, is it?”
As Arisu Sakayanagi's little follower, many errands were done by Masumi Kamuro.
So, Masumi Kamuro was a firsthand participant in Arisu Sakayanagi's thoughts and plans, and she roughly understood what Arisu Sakayanagi wanted to do.
That was why Masumi Kamuro hesitated. If things really went according to Arisu Sakayanagi's idea, it really wasn't a good thing.
“Speaking of which, it indeed doesn't sound very nice.”
“However, Little Masumi doesn't need to feel any guilt.”
Looking at Masumi Kamuro's somewhat conflicted expression, Arisu Sakayanagi chuckled and said, “Could it be that Little Masumi thinks that without our participation, such things wouldn't happen to Natsuki-kun?”
“The answer is naturally... impossible~~~~”
“At most, the time of arrival might be just a little bit later.”
“We are at most advancing this time just a little bit, really only a little bit.”
