He tried to save the fallen girls, but they came after him instead.

Secretly, I was delighted.

Why be so obviously biased? Now you're just asking for trouble.

Startled by the crowd's outrage, Ako retreated and quickly hid behind Shirakawa.

"Um, everyone..." Shirakawa was about to make an excuse.

"Shut up, all of you!" Xing Gongxi slammed her hand on the table and erupted again.

The freshmen lowered their voices, but they didn't stop discussing.

As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Several bolder students stepped out of the line and questioned Xing Gongxi: "You are the student council president, and you have such an important responsibility. You should treat everyone equally. How can you give them special treatment?"

"Hmph! Yes, that's right, I did use connections," Xing Gongxi sneered, sitting on the table with her arms crossed and legs crossed, looking down at these "commoners" with a condescending gaze. "If you have any objections, you can write a written report to complain and submit it to me. I can take a look at it when I'm bored to kill some time."

"You... I'm going to tell the principal!"

"Go ahead and complain. The principal's office is upstairs. Do you want me to take you there?"

"You! You!" The hot-blooded student clenched his fists, his face flushed with anxiety.

This is too disrespectful!

"What do you mean, 'what do you want'?"

The student council members and Xing Gongxi's confidants all stood up, observing all the new students warily, creating a tense atmosphere.

Seeing this, the freshman who was leading the charge also began to back down.

Hoshimiya Shio leaned forward, grabbed Shirakawa's shoulder, and pulled him towards her.

Because Hoshimiya Shio was sitting on the table, she was a head taller than Shirakawa.

She pulled Shirakawa to her side and put her arm around his shoulder.

She whispered in his ear, "I'm really looking forward to the day I can work with you."

After saying that, he gently pushed Shirakawa, then raised his eyebrows slightly and gave a knowing look.

The sound and the movement sent a shiver down Shirakawa's spine, as if ants were crawling all over him.

This could never be an action that Hoshimiya Shiono would actually make in reality.

That's so cheesy, this feeling of going against everyone's wishes for my sake.

Isn't this just a classic "domineering CEO falls in love with me" trope?

However, the feeling of being appreciated and protected is indeed quite nice.

No wonder so many people like watching it.

"Shirakawa, let's go!" Ako grabbed Shirakawa's hand and stormed out of the office.

"As the vice minister, you should focus on building our video game club and not be half-hearted!" Ako warned angrily, hands on her hips.

"Of course, of course." Shirakawa smiled and nodded repeatedly in agreement, but he was still savoring what had just happened.

At the end of the corridor, Ellie watched all of this with a smile on her face.

It seems that the plan to make Shirakawa sink here is making good progress.

When Shirakawa stayed in this world, Alice read his memories. Everything that had just happened, including the strange Hoshimiya Shio, was her doing.

Her goal is to make her beloved Shirakawa fall in love with her, fall in love with this place, do things that make them love each other, and be together forever and ever.

However, for Ako to leave willingly and for Shirakawa to completely succumb, there is another important character.

Alice waved her little hand.

Behind her, a cloud of mist began to slowly condense and take shape, revealing a foreign student with blond hair and green highlights.

It's Jieqi.

She had an earring and wore a skull-patterned shirt.

She had a cool and handsome appearance, but at this moment she was like a doll, with stiff limbs and empty eyes.

"Go."

As soon as Ellie finished speaking, Jackie trembled as if she had been electrocuted, and became exactly like the real Jackie, so much so that it was indistinguishable from the real thing.

He also took out a bag of red bean bread from his pocket and held the plastic bag between his lips.

They began a frantic sprint towards Shirakawa.

236. Jackie and Shirakawa

"Stop grinning like an idiot! Did you hear me?" Yako angrily punched Shirakawa's chest lightly.

"Okay, okay, I heard you."

A strange thought flashed through Shirakawa's mind.

He actually thought that staying here was pretty good.

Without the interference of the blond-haired guy, without those trivial worries, even Hoshiguchi Shio was so...

No! How could you think like that?

Shirakawa patted his head, trying his best to dispel those inappropriate thoughts using physical means.

"Ugh...wait! I can't stop!"

A girl's urgent shouts came from behind Shirakawa.

duang!

The two collided, and Jackie clung to Shirakawa's back, falling to the ground.

"Ouch~ It hurts," Jackie said, clutching her head as she swayed as she stood up.

"Oh right, my red bean bread!"

Thanks to Shirakawa's human cushioning, Jackie wasn't seriously injured. She quickly got up and started searching around the corridor.

“Found it.” Jackie picked up the bread that had been thrown in the corner and carefully placed it in the deepest part of her pocket.

Shirakawa was lying on the ground, it was unclear who had bumped into him.

But he heard the words "red bean bread".

It's obvious without even guessing that the person who hit him was Jackie.

"Ouch, that hurts!" Shirakawa didn't have any padding, and his body made intimate contact with the concrete.

"Hey, Shirakawa, let me help you up." Ako quickly grabbed Shirakawa's arm and helped him up.

"Hey! Jackie, why don't you worry about me first? Ouch~"

"How did you know my name?" Jackie asked, puzzled.

"Ah, well," Shirakawa stammered for a moment, forgetting that this was a memory world, and quickly explained, "Who doesn't know the foreign students at our school? Haha!"

Ayako muttered quietly beside her, "I don't recognize him..."

Shirakawa quickly nudged her with his elbow.

"Haha, I didn't expect to become so famous so soon after enrolling!" Jackie said proudly.

Ah, I never expected that Jackie would be so carefree now.

However, Jackie's appearance may be the key to breaking the deadlock. She has a very close relationship with Ayako, and perhaps she can be used to rekindle Ayako's hope for the real world.

"Are you two a couple?" Jackie asked, pointing at the two of them.

"No, no, of course not." Ako hurriedly and shyly separated from Shirakawa. "We just started the video game club and were just about to go check out the activity room."

"Video gaming club? Interesting, is it a club where we can play video games?" Jackie asked with interest.

"Yes, we can play console games and PC games. I will bring the game console and computer from home and play with everyone."

"That's great! Can I join?"

"Of course! We need to go to the club activity room to pack our things now. Do you want to come with us?"

"Of course! I also want to do my part for the video game club!"

"What did the vice minister say?" Ako asked Shirakawa.

"Oh, of course."

"Alright, let's go to the club activity room together!"

---

Inside the club activity room.

The otaku who cleaned the activity room with Ako in the first playthrough have become Shirakawa and Jackie.

Although there are fewer people, it doesn't mean that they clean slower than otaku.
