Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

"If you hadn't doodled that stupid bird on the test, your score would have been even higher," Danrito commented sharply. "You intentionally stained the test, and your handwriting is a bit abstract. You did well in the calculations with only standard answers. I hope I don't see the word 'Peloro' again in questions that involve personal interpretations. Do you understand?"

"That skeleton..."

"Neither!"

The third paper airplane flew across and landed on Koharu's desk. Danrito squinted at the pink-haired girl and said, "Koharu, 80 points. That's a commendable improvement. I really don't have much to say about you. Just keep improving steadily."

"Oh oh oh!!"

Holding her own test paper, Xiaochun's eyes were shining: "This is my full strength as an elite! Haha!"

"Hmm..." Danrito thought for a moment before offering a blunt assessment: "Kouharu was truly a complete idiot before. She only got to that point by cramming knowledge into her head. It was all the result of being fed everything at a cram school. But the result is good enough, isn't it? As for the 90th score, that's probably a bit of a stretch. That level depends on your own ability to understand things. You can't get there by just feeding yourself."

"Finally, it's you."

Dan Lidou stopped folding paper airplanes and picked up Zi's test paper, raised it, and signaled Zi to take it himself.

Zi stood up and took his test paper with both hands. The score column was a bright red 90.

"Azusa, 90 points."

Danrito still held his face with one hand. "Don't overthink it. The most important thing about games is novelty. If you fold the plane on the last one, everything will be the same. It won't be fun."

Pulling the "Mystery of the Sphinx" cassette from his pocket, Danrito pushed it forward on the table, in front of Azusa. "Next, in case I need to be busy and can't come to the cram school, I'll temporarily give this cassette to you for safekeeping. I've demonstrated how to activate the cassette so many times, you should know it, right?"

239. The organization has decided that Zi Lai will be the squad leader.

"Give this cassette...to me for safekeeping?"

Azusa looked at the "Mystery of the Sphinx" cassette that Danrito had pushed in front of her and couldn't help but feel dazed. "But didn't you say that you need to supervise the use of this cassette? Is it appropriate to just give it to me like this?"

Zi didn't know what the adult in front of her was suddenly up to. Although she had been trying to get this cartridge, wasn't the content of the transaction agreed upon with the Collapse Source Body that had been teaching her in the cartridge?

Shirasu Azusa's opinion of Danrito has always been a delicate one. Upon arriving at the cram school, he'd stated from the outset that he couldn't teach and didn't really care about the place, much like the "advisor" role he'd acknowledged. It wasn't that he wasn't responsible, but... it wasn't clear what he was responsible for.

After this, the magical game cartridge that the dark-faced adult had brought out became something Bai Zhouzi desperately desired. The ability to resist the power of "nothingness" and the power to resist the vortex of chaos was also the fundamental motivation that forced Bai Zhouzi to continue learning.

At that moment, Shirasu Azusa's assessment of Danrito, who could so easily produce such a divine weapon, shifted to unfathomable—no other word could describe this seemingly carefree man, yet always able to bring the most crucial weapon to the fore. It was impossible not to feel a little bit of curiosity about Danrito.

As for adults, children always have certain expectations of them. As the expectations are fulfilled, they will gradually turn into admiration, trust, or even some kind of rebellious sentiment - that is simply a deviation, and the feelings have become some indescribable product.

But now, Bai Zhouzi felt as if he had fallen into a dream when he saw the cassette that was pushed in front of him.

"What's wrong? You're the hardest-working student in the class, right?"

Danrito leaned back in his chair and looked at the white-haired girl in front of him. "Everyone can see your improved academic performance. Your dedication to studying is also quite pure. In class terms, you've been appointed monitor, right?"

"After all, your strict personality does fit the role of a class monitor, doesn't it?"

Shirasu Azusa's gaze shifted from the cassette tape to Danrito's face, then back to the cassette tape again. The opportunity had already been thrust before her, and if she refused, she didn't know when her turn would finally come.

Bai Zhouzi thought to himself, "Then I will accept this power."

While silently reciting in her heart, she reached out to take the cassette. When Zi took the cassette, a halo of light lit up on the crystal card surface of the cassette, and then went out.

"Since the 'Mystery of the Sphinx' cassette tape is in your care, you will be the one to activate it for everyone in the cram school from now on."

Dan Lidou waved his hand and said, "I'll leave it to you to decide how much time to study. But my suggestion is to just have half a day of classes each time. The rest of the time, you can use it to bond or continue reading. It's up to you."

"Based on your current progress, you should have no problem passing the second academic ability test." Danrito stood up and looked at the four students in front of him. "As far as I remember, the standard for the remedial course is that passing two out of three academic ability tests is enough, right? As long as you pass the academic ability test in two weeks, you can return to normal student life."

Xiaochun breathed a visibly relieved sigh. "This way, I don't have to stay in this area for remedial classes every day, right? I haven't been to the Justice Realization Committee in a while. Even though I'm always on the phone with Hasumi-senpai, I still want to see the real Hasumi-senpai!"

"Hey~ What do you mean, Xiaochun, is that you're not happy with us?"

Hanako, standing by, deliberately put on a sad face: "Are you really that unwilling to play with us?"

"Why did you suddenly turn to that topic?"

Koharu's panic was palpable, and she waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "It's not that I'm unhappy being with you guys... No! Wasn't I sent here in the first place because I arrested Hanako, a blatant molester?! If I hadn't arrested you then, I might not even have been in here!"

"Hey~ Isn't this fate? Maybe this is the fate that brought us together~"

"Who wants this kind of fate?"

Looking at Hanako and Koharu who had started another comedic dialogue, Hifumi, holding a Peloro doll she had brought over at some point, commented with a smile, "Ahaha~ Everyone's getting along really well~"

"How can you tell they have a good relationship?"

Koharu instinctively protested, but her face showed no reluctance. Hifumi pulled out a number of MOMO Friends plush toys from her large bag, saying she was taking this opportunity to celebrate and share them with everyone as gifts.

“There are many varieties, take your pick!”

Hifumi generously took out many of the Péro dolls from her collection. In addition to the silly and cute white Péro doll, there are many more dolls belonging to this series. Although they are not as famous as Péro doll, they also have their own cuteness.

"Ohhh... this touch..."

Zi was drawn to the soft plush toys in front of her and reached out to pick one up. Actually, this was her first encounter with a plush toy after arriving at Trinity, and she was captivated by its cuteness.

It felt so soft to the touch that he couldn't let it go. In addition, it had a silly yet cute face. After Hifumi introduced Peloro to him, Azusa had actually fallen in love with this white creature a long time ago.

"By the way, I picked this specially for Xiaozi!" Having said that, Hifumi took out a slightly smaller doll from the pile of dolls. It looked like an ordinary Pelora, but it was a little thinner and taller than the average Pelora, and it wore black-framed glasses, making it look smarter than the average Pelora.

Handing the doll to Azusa, Hifumi smiled and said, "Here! I think this is perfect for hard-working little Azusa, so I picked it out especially for you!"

"Thank you...Hifumi-san."

Taking the doll from Hifumi, Azusa held it in her arms with care. The soft and gentle touch of the plush doll made her unable to let it go: "I will cherish it for the rest of my life."

Hifumi happily shook her hand and said, "There will be more Peloro dolls released in the future! Let's go buy them together then!"

"Well, let's go together then."

Zi, who originally needed to worry about whether this future could be realized, now has great confidence that this future can be realized.

240.Connector

"By the way, I'll give you this too, Xiaozi!"

Hifumi dug into her pockets and handed a round Peloro Baji to Azusa. "This is a 'Peloro Enthusiast Baji' I made myself! It was very popular at the Peloro Enthusiasts' Exchange Meeting! Now I'm giving you one too!"

Zi took the small pin badge. The round shape was very common, with a yellow background and a white Pelolo sticking out its tongue and making a cute pose.

"How is it? I drew it myself!" Hifumi proudly put her hands on her hips. Azusa was amused by the pattern on the lipstick and laughed: "It's really cute, Hifumi-san, can you draw?"

"Of course! I put a lot of effort into drawing Peloro-sama's cuteness!" Hifumi urged, "Azusa, put it on now! This way you can proudly declare yourself a Peloro fan!"

On that night, in a corner of Trinity College where no camera could capture them, two figures met.

"Azusa, it looks like you're doing well."

The tall girl wore a sunhat, a mask covering half her face, revealing only her cold eyes. Standing before Azusa was none other than Saori Joumae, the captain who had sent her to the Holy Trinity as a spy.

"Same as usual."

When facing this captain, Azusa was somewhat embarrassed to look at her face, especially when looking into Saori's cold eyes. Even though she had convinced herself that this was to protect everyone's happiness, the truth was that this was a deception to her captain and the rest of the Arius team.

"I'm sorry, Captain. I'll explain everything to you after this is over."

Azusa's slightly turned away face made Saori a little concerned. Her voice rang out, as if knocking at Azusa in front of her: "On the day of the Holy Trinity, you didn't forget the original teachings, did you?"

"Vanitas Vanitatum Et Omnia Vanitas." Azusa raised his eyes. "I haven't forgotten."

“No matter how hard you try, whether you succeed or fail… everything is meaningless in the end.”

Azusa handed over a report map showing the Justice Realization Committee's personnel movements and patrol routes. "This is the intelligence I've gathered. The Holy Trinity Tea Party is currently short-staffed. Of the three members of the tea party, only Kirito Nagisa remains at his post. The only troops Kirito Nagisa can currently mobilize are the Justice Realization Committee, but there's no guarantee that other groups won't come to support. After all, Arius's attack is a major event targeting the entire Holy Trinity. I don't think anyone else will stand idly by."

"Well, I see."

A few seconds of silence fell between the two of them, Saori and Azusa. Saori was not used to "chatting", while Azusa didn't know what to say in such an occasion. Finally, Azusa spoke first, breaking the silence.

"Captain Saori, is the princess... okay lately?"

"There's nothing wrong with my body." Saori answered briefly, but her eyes were looking at Azusa's clothes. On that white school uniform skirt, there was a silly-looking Peloro pinned on it.

Frowning, Saori pointed at the badge with her eyes: "Azusa, what is that?"

Azusa looked down and realized that she had forgotten to take off the Peloro bracelet that Hifumi had given her after putting it on. She only realized it after Saori reminded her.

"This... was given to me by a classmate." After thinking for a moment, Zi came up with a reasonable excuse. "This is the current trend in Trinity. In order to better integrate into Trinity, I think accepting such a gift is a normal consideration."

"Is this so..."

Saori didn't know if this strange-looking emblem was a trend in Trinity. Arius, where she was, didn't teach it, and she had no idea what a Peloro was. But since Azusa said it was useful for espionage, she assumed so.

"It's so hollow, Azusa."

Saori frowned. "This is the first gift I received from a friend? You don't think this game with friends has any meaning, do you?"

"No matter how much you value this friendship, it will eventually turn into nothingness. A future of nothingness is destined, and holding onto this hope is a mistake. Zi, the result of harboring illusions is nothing but complete shattering in the end."

Another silence.

Free Skirt 95⒈捌０9０９

"Then, the next time we meet will be when we attack the Holy Trinity. Rejoin the team then, Azusa."

This time it was Saori who broke the silence first. After saying this, Saori's figure disappeared into the darkness and gradually disappeared into the night of the Holy Trinity.

Half an hour later, in the underground passage of Holy Trinity.

"Captain, are you okay?"

Hiyori, sitting on the ground with a large bag on her back, was waiting. Seeing her captain coming back from the other end of the passage, she immediately stood up, but hit her head because she used too much force. "It hurts! - Oh no, Captain! You're not hurt!"

"No, the meeting with Zi went smoothly, and the necessary information was obtained."

Saori shook the paper bag she pulled out of her coat pocket. "This shows the patrol routes and sentry posts within Trinity. Trinity seems to have noticed something, but they probably haven't figured out who's trying to sabotage the Treaty of Eden yet."

"Is it really that easy? He's been alone in Trinity for such a long time. Wouldn't he betray me if I stayed alone for so long?"

Misaki's voice, sitting nearby with a bazooka strapped to her back, reached out. Her voice was as deep as a pool in the abyss. "After seeing what feels like hell, if you were to go to heaven, everyone would want to stay in 'Paradise,' right?"

"Azusa hasn't forgotten us yet. This is proof enough."

Saori tucked the information inside her coat and slung her rifle across her back. "She must understand. We're all students from Arius, born with hatred. When the final day arrives, no matter how hard we tried to maintain our friendship, it will ultimately shatter into nothingness."

"..."

The girl standing at the end of the team, the masked girl, walked over, stood on tiptoe, reached out and touched Saori's face without saying anything much.

Saori gently held her hand, removed the tenderness from her face, and whispered: "Princess, we should leave."

The girl called princess nodded. Hiyori and Misaki beside her had already packed up their things and disappeared into the depths of the passage with Saori.

241. The desert under the moon is not too cold

"Is this the plan you came up with, relying on Shirasu Azusa-san to pass on the false information?"

Sitting in the conference room, Hasumi looked up at Nagisa, who was sitting across the table from him. Nagisa, sitting across from him, simply shook her head and said, "I just asked Mr. Danrito if he had any good suggestions for dealing with a shortage of troops. He said, 'Just let the enemy slip into your encirclement.' That sentence really inspired me."

"Letting the enemy slip into our encirclement..." Hasumi pondered this sentence. "Is this why you planned fake patrol routes and sentry posts?"

"If Azusa-san is willing to help us, this information will become more authentic." Nagisa nodded. "Even if it's fake information, we have to make it real these days. What if the other party doesn't trust Azusa-san, who has been here for a long time? Even if Azusa gives us this information, they may find a way to verify it themselves..."

"If we take the initiative now, won't it alert the enemy and cause them to change their plans, or even cause all our current arrangements to fail?"

Lian Jian nodded in agreement and adjusted her sitting posture to relax her somewhat stiff wings. Just then, she saw the door to the conference room open and Bai Zhouzi walked in.

Nagisa asked with concern, "Azusa-san, is the connection complete?"

"The captain didn't say anything, but if he's not sure, he'll use his own methods to confirm it later." Zi sat down and said, "The captain's tactical skills are the best among us, so the accuracy of the information is naturally within the confirmed range."

"Even if the captain doesn't notice my problem, she will confirm the accuracy of the intelligence before officially starting the battle. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to maintain the current defensive layout. I will also help with the surveillance."

"Hmm... Actually, I'm a little curious." Hasumi turned his gaze to Azusa. "Do Arius' students really only learn combat and espionage skills?"

"Yes, the rest is what Madam calls useless knowledge." Zi nodded and said, "Cultural studies are not necessary at all. Just knowing how to write your own name is enough. The rest are all combat training and infiltration training."

"What kind of anti-human curriculum design is this..." Lian Jian frowned. "What on earth did Arius go through after leaving Trinity to become like this?"
