"Ye Jun just said such terrible words, how can I believe that you have no second thoughts?"
"I swear on my girlfriends, they're all here!"
Bai Ye’s momentum is rising, and he is only one step away from the success of his plan!
"My original intention and my pride won't allow me to lie in front of everyone. If I break my promise, I won't be able to say I love them with a clear conscience anymore. Is that enough?!"
Hongzaka Akane slammed the table and stood up. Her aura seemed to condense into a phantom, colliding with Bai Ye's aura, like a fight between a dragon and a tiger.
"That's enough! Ye Jun, your enlightenment! I received it!"
Iori Hatama took in this scene and sensitively sensed that something was wrong.
From the very beginning, the overall rhythm was controlled by Bai Ye. Hongzaka Akane was like a turtle caught in a jar, constantly diving into the trap designed by the opponent!
"President, calm down! Don't fall for your trick!"
"I know--!"
Akane Benizaka is more awake than ever!
Because of this, she doesn't allow herself to show cowardice when facing her opponent and giving it her all!
She also does not allow others to trample on her dignity!
"How do you want to compete, Lord Ye? Tell me!"
Bai Ye looked at Iori Hatima, and his eyes, which were full of fighting spirit but as cold as ice, made Iori Hatima secretly frightened.
"Hajima-san, let's resolve all the grievances between us, including the issue of rock sugar, at once."
Iori Hasima said nothing.
Bai Ye ignored his silence and continued:
"We'll each publish a novel and a comic, and they'll be published in the next issue of your magazine. A week after the release, we'll vote on whoever gets the most votes. Whoever wins will be the winner! What do you think, Akane-san?"
"I promise you!!" Hongzaka Akane pointed forward.
"President——!" Iori Hasima shouted.
But the next second, the words of resistance that were about to come out of her throat vanished into thin air at the touch of a finger from Akane Benizaka.
"Iori, are you afraid of a challenge?"
"I……"
Hongzaka Akane looked at him, her eyes full of unquestionable majesty.
"Iori, you've always wanted to be the representative of Rouge on Rouge, right? I'll leave this matter entirely to you! You can choose anyone from the club!"
"As long as you win, I will gradually hand over the club's affairs to you. When you graduate from university, I will hand over the entire rouge on rouge to you!"
"If you lose... you know the consequences."
Chapter 734: The struggle of obsession never ends
Iori Hajima was caught in a dilemma.
As for Qing, he really wants to show his abilities in front of Akane Benizaka. Rouge on Rouge is the best platform to show his abilities, and this competition is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Logically speaking, he really didn't want to agree. Any normal person could see that Bai Ye was definitely well prepared. If he rashly agreed to the competition, he wouldn't know what his chances of winning were.
Even if he successfully persuaded Akane Akasaka to give up this competition by appealing to her emotions and reason, he would probably no longer have a place in Rouge on Rouge.
"The arrow is on the string and must be shot..."
"I've accepted this competition. What are the detailed rules?"
Hongzaka Akane nodded secretly, and the fact that Hajima Iori did not fear the battle met her basic requirements.
"A novel and a comic, both sound quite intriguing. Who are you planning to send to compete?"
Hearing that both Akasaka Akane and Hatashima Iori agreed, Bai Ye finally let go of the stone in his heart and slowly sat down and leaned back in the chair.
Going back on one's word or something like that is simply impossible, as shown by the self-respect displayed by Akane Benizaka.
"As a whole, the White Night Society, we must personally take back what we have lost."
At this time, Shiyu stood up, her piercing red eyes fixed on Akane Benizaka who maintained her superior posture.
"Azune-senpai, didn't you think a week ago that I wasn't qualified to join Rouge on Rouge, that I wasn't even as good as Eriri? Although I have no intention of joining, I really want to see the frustration on your face to prove my own path."
Akane Benizaka suddenly smiled.
"Shiyu, you've got me on your mind..."
On this side, Eriri, who was sitting on the stage watching the show, was shocked, especially when everyone's attention was focused on her.
Why did the topic turn to me for no reason?
"Um...Azane-senpai, my mother asked me to call you that. You said I'm better than Kasumigaoka?"
"Yes, Eriri, you are more pure than Shiyu." Akane Benizaka smiled slightly.
"Oh, thank you."
Eriri didn't understand why, but she said thank you for the compliment.
Shiyu held her forehead with her hand, she was really impressed.
"Eri, I'm telling you you're just plain stupid. Do you understand?"
"I understand what you said! Kasumigaoka, you are blatantly calling me an idiot again!" Eriri glanced sideways.
After this pair of bickering lovers made a scene, the nerve-wracking tension in the room was slightly relieved.
Bai Ye also smiled, but then turned around and put away his smile.
"Senpai Akane, the novel is around 5 words, which is about the length of a normal chapter in the manga. What do you think?"
"Whatever. The number of words and chapters doesn't matter. If Shiyu is writing, Yuanzi..."
"Thank you for your concern, but don't worry." Shiyu took over the conversation, "Buzugawa Bunko and Rouge on Rouge have recently collaborated, so it's no big deal if I contribute a manuscript."
Akane Benizaka nodded and flipped through the calendar on the table.
"The next paperback edition will be published in early December, which is over a month away. If Ye Jun and the others win, it won't prevent you from taking 'Flash Girls' to the Christmas Game Expo. Is that settled?"
Bai Ye's face became solemn as he stood up to shake hands.
"Ok, deal."
Akane Benizaka waved her hand and looked directly at Hasima Demi, who had been silent since entering the room.
"I'm curious about your choice of going out to sea."
After Akane Akane mentioned it, everyone remembered that the most embarrassed person in this competition was not Michiru Hyodo who was treated as a "prize", but Tomi Hasima, who was Iori Hasima's biological sister and also a member of the Byakuya Club.
Bingtang, who was born an optimist, also understood the seriousness of the matter. He couldn't help but stand up and sit next to her, holding her hand.
"When you go out to sea..."
Compared to the worried Bingtang, Bai Ye was much more relaxed.
He had thought of this from the very beginning, so he planned to show the scene of him and Tomigumi Iori having a "fallout" at the coffee house.
In this way, Bo Island can stay out of the matter with a clear conscience, without having to feel embarrassed about who to help or bear the guilt of not helping the other party.
No matter which side she chooses to help when going out to sea, or whether she chooses to stand idly by, Bai Ye and his group will not complain to her.
unless……
Chuhai patted Bingtang and held her hand, trying to comfort her.
"It doesn't matter to me. I've made up my mind."
"What to decide?"
Bingtang saw determination in her eyes, and for a moment he felt like he was looking into Bai Ye's eyes.
"Go to sea?"
Bodao Chuhai slowly stood up, his eyes as calm as water. He glanced at everyone present and lingered on Bai Ye's face for a moment.
"Senior, please allow me to be a little willful."
"As you said, if you've considered something over and over again, don't hesitate any longer."
'I have to do this. This is my best and probably my last chance.'
Her gaze then lingered on her brother's face for a few seconds before moving away and fixing on Akane Benizaka. Her tone was calm, clear, and firm.
"I'll help on both sides."
Bingtang, who was sitting closest, heard it the most clearly and paused with his hand raised in the air.
"I will help Byakuya-senpai and my brother, in a fair and confidential way, and I will do my best to help both sides. I also want to prove my ability. I am not inferior to Shiyu-senpai, Eriri-senpai, Megumi-senpai, or anyone else in rouge on rouge."
The room fell silent for a moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on Tomijima Izumi's face.
Shocked, confused, puzzled...
Bai Ye glanced at Akane Benizaka and Iori Hatashima, and saw the same genuine shock on their faces, and he immediately understood something.
Before he could say anything, Eriri started yelling first.
"Huh? Chu Hai, what are you talking about! You want to help both sides, and help them fairly? How is that possible? How can we trust you?!"
What Eriri said also reflected the thoughts of everyone present.
When two armies are fighting, the most taboo thing is a fence-sitter. You never know when he will stab you in the back.
Iori Hatashima was confused. In his expectation, just like Bai Ye, it would be good to have someone to help out at sea, but it didn't matter if he didn't.
"You don't have to worry about offending me when you go out to sea. Brother, I won't complain if you don't help me. There's no need to embarrass yourself."
On this point, Byakuya and Iori Hajima stand on the same side.
"Your brother is right. I and everyone else won't complain about you. If you want to come over to play with me, you can do so without any worries. I have no objection if you want to go rouge on rouge. This is between your brother and me. You don't need to burden yourself with so much, Xiaohui, don't you think so?"
Kato Megumi rarely responded to Bai Ye's words. She just kept watching the island of Nama leave the sea with her pale yellow eyes that seemed to see through everything. She kept watching...
Chapter 735 The unexpected is unexpected because it is unexpected
Click——
When Shiyu and the others came out of Akane Benizaka's office, they saw that the rouge on rouge members gathered around them had immediately scattered like birds and beasts, each of them buried their heads in their work, as if they hadn't heard anything.
At this time, a member came up.
"Teacher Kasumi Shiko, I'm your fan, can you sign an autograph for me?"
"Well, yes."
Shiyu quickly signed her name on the Love Metronome, and then she heard the other party say:
"Teacher, have you reached some kind of agreement with President Benisaka? Are you planning to join this club?"
"I'm not going to join, but I'll be here for at least a month or so. President Hongzaka should tell you the details later."
"Oh? That sounds like good news!"
Shiyu smiled politely. She didn't care how they would react. At least her goal had been achieved.
At this time, Eriri came up and nudged her with her elbow.
"Hey, are we missing someone? Where's Bai Ye?"
"Before I left, President Benisaka stopped me. It seemed like he wanted to talk to me alone about something."
"Isn't it all said now? Why are you being so mysterious..."
Eriri looked towards the sea where Hamajima was heading. Her sixth sense told her that the other party was involved.
In the end, no one was able to convince Bodao Chuhai not to interfere in the competition. The latter refused to give in and kept asking for help from both sides.
"Why are you so stubborn, like a donkey..." Eriri muttered and complained.
Although the sound was very small, Bodao Chuhai still heard it.
She bit her cherry lips lightly, and even though she felt wronged, she still held back.
She understood that her choice would be difficult for everyone to understand and accept, even if she explained it clearly.
but……
Even if there are numerous difficulties and dangers ahead, she will use practical actions to prove that this is a matter of absolute benefit to herself, Senior Bai Ye, everyone, her brother, and even the entire Bai Ye Club.
