Chapter 345: Minna-san, I'm Reporting Someone for Cheating!
After re-drawing lots, this time Yurine got the bye. Jashin-chan moved her wrists and entered the arena full of confidence.
About ten seconds later—
Like Ryohei, she was easily crushed by Pekola.
"Heh—! Totally one-sided!" Ryohei put one hand on his hip and threw these words back at Jashin-chan.
Jashin-chan was stunned numb.
Then she snorted lightly with some embarrassment and annoyance: "Anyway, I'm definitely stronger than the Servant!"
"No, you're not as strong as him," Pekola said unexpectedly.
"...Eh?"
Hearing this, Jashin-chan looked at Pekola with dot eyes, stunned.
Ryohei's lips curled up. He didn't argue with the scummy snake. Glancing at Yurine, who had already arrived opposite Pekola, he announced: "Then... enter the final match!"
"Yurine versus Pekola... start!" He raised his right hand high and swung it down forcefully.
The moment his voice fell, the two hands clasped together tightened simultaneously, exerting force.
Pekola only felt an irresistible force surging like a tide. Her arm tilted uncontrollably to one side, falling into a disadvantage the moment it started!
"Uh—!"
She widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief, then clenched her silver teeth, a low groan with a hint of allure escaping her throat.
Only now did Pekola realize that Lucoa hadn't lied at all. Yurine's petite body contained an astonishing power that even they couldn't match!
It felt incredible!
Amidst shock and disbelief... Pekola held on for a few seconds before the back of her hand was cleanly pressed onto the platform, losing without suspense!
"...I lost!"
Pekola, unable to defeat Yurine even with all her might, let out a long breath and accepted her defeat calmly.
"Good game," Yurine said modestly.
Ryohei stepped forward, grabbed Yurine's slender wrist, raised her hand high, and announced loudly:
"Let's congratulate Yurine on becoming the champion of this arm-wrestling contest!"
The sense of ceremony was maxed out—!
He turned to Yurine and continued, "According to the agreement, you can have Lucoa and Pekola serve you tea, pour water, and give you a shoulder massage for a whole day."
"Can we do it when I'm not in school?"
Yurine thought for a moment and looked at Lucoa and Pekola nearby.
"Of course."
Lucoa put her hand on her slender, soft waist and agreed readily.
Pekola nodded and gave a "Mn" of agreement.
Then, Ryohei felt a pair of bright eyes looking at him.
At this moment, Jashin-chan shouted from the side, "Servant, let's have a match!"
She couldn't wait to regain her confidence from Ryohei and subdue this "gold miner" so he could earn big money for her later.
"I'll satisfy you!"
Ryohei waved his big hand and took his position in front of the platform with the scummy snake.
Yurine acted as the referee. Once the two were ready, she waved her hand:
"Start!"
Hearing this, the scummy snake exerted force abruptly, wanting to take Ryohei down in one go.
But she found that his hand was like a rock, not moving an inch.
"Masaka—!!"
Σ(°Д°;
Jashin-chan was shocked right then and there, her face full of disbelief.
"A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes..."
Ryohei looked at her shocked appearance, his mood improving greatly. He exerted force with his hand, and with a thud, pressed Jashin-chan's hand onto the platform, laughing loudly:
"I'm stronger than you now, Scummy Snake!"
"—!"
Jashin-chan felt like she had been struck by lightning, her head buzzing.
She stared blankly at her hand being held down, lost in thought for a moment.
"What a crushing victory!"
Yurine praised and announced Ryohei as the winner.
Lucoa clapped her hands with a smile from the side.
(￣∇￣ﾉﾉ"
"Didn't I say he was stronger than you?"
Pekola looked at Jashin-chan with a "See?" expression.
Jashin-chan felt like she was losing face. Flustered and exasperated, she pointed at Ryohei to everyone:
"Minna-san, I want to report him! Someone is cheating here!"
(#`Д´)ﾉ
She couldn't accept that this small fry Ryohei was stronger than her!
Especially since he did nothing and inexplicably became stronger than her after waking up—who could she complain to about this!
"Report invalid. Cheat yourself if you have the ability."
Ryohei was amused and waved his hand to reject her report.
The scummy snake almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
She wanted to cheat, but she couldn't, could she?
So angry!
"Ahahaha—!"
Yurine and Lucoa laughed cheerfully, and Pekola's lips also curled up.
"Anyway, accept your loss. For the next month, you have to listen to my arrangements." Ryohei patted Jashin-chan's slender shoulder, took out his phone from his pocket, and checked the time. It was 8:21 AM.
"I should take Kyon-Kyon and Ran-Ran to the station."
Yesterday, when he took Yusa and Koji to the station, he had prepared some desserts for them that could be kept for a relatively long time.
He couldn't favor one over the other—at least not on the surface!
"I should go to school too," Yurine followed up.
She had classes in the morning.
"..."
And so, the group dispersed in the courtyard.
Lucoa went to Ryohei and Yurine's bedroom to help restore the bed they had broken in the morning.
Pekola followed Ryohei to drop people off; later, she would exercise the privilege she won from arm wrestling him just now.
Yurine left in the car, and Ryohei would drop her off at school on the way.
Jashin-chan went to the gym on the second floor—she was very unwilling to accept losing to Ryohei. Before, when Ryohei hit her, she wouldn't even take damage, but now...
After thinking it over, the scummy snake felt she couldn't go on like this. It was time to train and improve herself!
