Chapter 114: GABRIELLA EVANGELISTA

Now then, when I was wondering about how to reply, Yuika opens her mouth first.

“W, well, calm down Evangelista-san. Let’s calm down first okay?”

“Ara, who might you be?”

“Nice to meet you, my name is Hijiri Yuika. I don’t know what you are talking about so I can you tell me why you are so angry?”

“That’s simple! That man over there, he used an underhand method to get the first place in the last exam!”

Well, heading to the dungeon on the day of the exam, depending on how you look, it would seem underhanded after all. IS THAT EVEN LEGAL! Or something like that.

“Calm down. Certainly, that might be an underhand method but he still did everything according to the rule right? Everyone will be heading to the dungeon from the next exam on anyway, I think the current ranking will change a lot you know. Let’s do our best on the next one!”

It would be great if she can back down with that but she’s Gabby after all. In the next ranking, since the other student’s ranking will increase as well, I think my ranking will decrease though. However, if Gabby does her best in both dungeons and the exam, she might be able to win against me. I definitely won’t be taking the first place next time after all.

In the first place, this time I was thinking about a plan that centered around getting the seed of possibility and joining the three committees so I aimed for the first place. The only benefit of getting the first place in the next exam is just the items and Tsukuyomi points.

I can get more valuable items in the dungeon so I think wasting a week to take the exam would be a waste of time. Rather than taking the exam, taking a few days off to relax is much better. If I am a member of the public moral committee or the student council then it would be a different story though.

“Well, it’s only natural that I would place first next time.”

That’s certainly something Gabby would say. It’s great that she confidently says something about herself like that. Incidentally, I also like how she often loses too.

Moreover, it’s bad when they announced that I took the first place, I think the one who will take the first place next time is Ludi though. She will be challenging the dungeon with me and she always takes the exam seriously too after all. Another candidate would be Iori huh? If Nanami takes the exam seriously she might actually take the first place but if she sees me skipping it then she will definitely skip it too. Ultimately, I can hear her saying, it doesn’t matter as long as I can graduate. Well, she would say something like [After we graduated, I will still forever be Goshujin-sama’s] or something like that after all. I have relied on her so much so I really want her to stay with me.

“But! I will not let it slide! And most importantly, most importantly!”

She uses her finger to point at me with the hand she used to hold her parasol.

“The fact that you are planning to use Onii-sama, I will absolutely, ABBBSOOOLUUUUTELYYYY, never forgive you!”

...from what I heard so far, it seems like the trigger this time is really Lord Benito huh. There was an event that she went berserk for Lord Benito on her own so this must be it. Yuika is the same but she really has a severe case of brocon huh.

As I was in the process of enlightenment, I heard Yuika muttered something in a small voice.

“What are you planning Takioto-san?”

“I am not planning anything. Rather, do I look like I am planning something to you......?”

If I am planning something then it would be about how should I act as a member of Shikibukai from now on. Of course, I have to think about that, I am its member after all. And I would never think of using Lord Benito for my own gain too.

“Hijiri Yuika-san right? You should stop being around this coward as well. He will only drag you down. Now is the chance to get away from him.”

When Gabby said so, Yuika tilts her head.

“Takioto-san is a coward? He is strong, kind, and a gentleman you know.”

After she said so, Yuika hugs my arm and smiles at her. Then she glanced at me and give me a wink.

So this girl has been calling Iori Onii-chan huh....Should I make her call me Onii-chan too?

Gabby is trembling while staring at my face but finally, she couldn’t stand it and start laughing.

“Pupuft-, Oh dear, I am so sorry. I can’t hold my laughter. Even so, Pupu, a gentleman—-?”

Except for being strong and kind, I am confident that I am a gentleman. A pervert one though.

“A joke ha, has KuKuKu, it’s limit you know Fufufu. This is a gentleman? Yuika-san must have been living quite a sad life it seems.”

Yuika is still holding my arm but I heard it. She said [Haa?] with a small voice.

Then the power in her arms gradually getting stronger.

I concentrate all of the nerves in my arm, her arms are small but aside from the softness I can feel their firmness......,Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, OUCH, OUCH, OUCH, OUCH!!

“Yu, Yuika. Calm down, Really, Calm down.”

Despite my pleas, Yuika stares at the laughing Gabby, the smile on her face didn’t crumble.

“Umm, do you even know about what the Shkibukai actually does in the first place though, Evangelista-san?

The voice, the voice is getting scarier.

“Ara, my brother is the Lord of Shikibukai you know. Of course, I would know about it! That’s right, if we are talking about a gentleman then my Onii-sama is the prime example!”

“Oh, Reaaaally. Then, it is only your speculation correct? There are a loooooot of things that the Shikibukai can’t talk about, after all, right?”

“Impossible, I am the first in the school year you know, of course, I should be joining the three committees soon as well. That’s why there are a lot of things that someone like Yuika-san doesn’t know that get to my ears you know.”

Making herself the first place is also something that Gabby would do huh.

“In the first place, it is impossible for Onii-sama to hide anything from me. Even so, on top of him hesitating to talk about Takioto Kousuke, he also did a strange follow-up when I start to complain about him. This man must have done something to him, there’s no mistake!!”

“Hee, aren’t your Onii-san just tired of your broconness?”

Waii!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?

“Speaking of which, your brother is the Lord of Shikibukai right? Looking at you, I think I can guess what kind of person he is. I think Mr.Lord should just hand in his resignation and let Takioto-san here take over already.”

Wait a minute, Yuika-san! Wh, what are you talking about!? It was within my expectation that Gabby would pick a fight with me but why are you picking a fight with her instead!? And you are hurting my arm, isn’t your grip getting stronger too!?

“.....I won’t forgive anyone who badmouths Onii-sama you know?”

“Oh no, it was just my opinion. Even so, Evangelista-san, not only your hair, it seems like the inside of your head is also empty too isn’t it? I’m so surprised!”

Ahhhhhhhhhh!

“........Apologize.”

“Then please apologize to Takioto-san first.”

“There’s no need for me to apologize to him.”

“Then, it seems like I don’t need to either.”

Wait a minute, what is this situation!? You two, your magic power is leaking you know!? There was no conflict between you two in the game you know!? Moreover, you two supposed to be close because you are both brocon so why is this happening!?

“...It seems like there are two insects I absolutely have to crush here. A badmouth one at that.”

“Eeh, are you introducing yourself? And there’s only one insect here you know? Should I apply some healing magic on your head? Ah, it would be meaningless if that’s the default state, ah, sorry about that!”

Someone, help me......! Whoever is fine, please do something about this situation! And please apply some of that healing magic on my arm as well.....

“......have you said your prayer?”

“That’s my line though? Even if you apologize now I still won’t forgive you after all.”

They are glaring at each other. It was like there was an electrical discharge from their eyes.

I was worried if they would start battling each other right here right now but it seems like that won’t be the case.

Gabby who was glaring at Yuika take a small breath and start laughing. She then turns back and heads toward the magic circle.

“I will prepare a training ground or a usable dungeon in a few days! You two can run away if you want though, Oh-Ho Ho Ho!”

Seeing Gabby left with a high-pitch laugh, Yuika clicked her tongue, her face still smiling.
