Although Sachiko Juraku had also expressed interest in Ayanokoji, compared to Saotome, a fellow female, a male like Ayanokoji posed no threat whatsoever.
So that's it… Ayanokoji Kiyotaka understood now, looking at Mikura playfully.
"I understand why you chose to help me back then… Were you worried that if Saotome Meari won against me, Sachiko Juraku would become deeply interested in her and try every possible way to get her?
At that point, you wouldn't be the favored one anymore, right?"
No wonder Mikura helped him back then. It turned out she was afraid that if another livestock appeared, Sachiko Juraku would pay less attention to her.
She wanted to "vie for favor"...
Ayanokoji couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, Saotome isn't the kind of girl who would willingly be subservient to others, nor would she, like you, be willing to abandon her dignity and wear a dog chain all day."
"What do you know? Lady Juraku has the kind of value that makes people willing to abandon their dignity!"
Seeing Mikura still wanting to argue about the benefits of being livestock, Ayanokoji rolled his eyes, ignored her, and looked at Yomotsuki Runa.
She was watching the two with great interest, happy to see Mikura engrossed in an argument and unable to extricate herself. This way, the whole box of snacks would be hers.
"Luna, can you help me with this?"
Ayanokoji had never relied on Mikura from the start, but to his disappointment, Huangquan also gave an answer that made her deny it.
"Although I am a member of the Student Council, my responsibility is to oversee the fairness of gambling and prevent losers from reneging. As the Beautification Committee Chairman of the Student Council, Lady Juraku certainly has the right to check surveillance. However, it is actually the Beautification Committee that manages the students."
Mikura interjected from the side: "That's right, if you want to see the surveillance, you'll have to find Miharu Taki Sakura."
The Beautification Committee, also known as the Environmental Beautification Committee, is a student position established to beautify the campus environment.
In a typical school, the Beautification Committee is responsible for cleaning the internal and external environment of the campus, managing cleaning tools, as well as inventorying, replenishing, and repairing facilities within the school, and organizing activities related to beautification.
However, at this Private Hyakkaou Academy, the Beautification Committee Chairman's functions have more than doubled, also being responsible for managing "livestock," collecting casino rent, and other matters.
Of course, the management and maintenance of surveillance equipment are also within her responsibilities.
In fact, collecting casino rent is the duty of the Beautification Committee Chairman. Sachiko Juraku, as the Beautification Committee Chairman, is one rank higher than the Beautification Committee Chairman, so she has this power, but not the obligation.
If she wasn't for Saotome Meari, she wouldn't have personally gone to collect the rent.
Miharu Taki Sakura is the current Beautification Committee Chairman of the Student Council.
"I don't even know the Beautification Committee Chairman you're talking about…"
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka frowned slightly, looking at Mikura: "Can't you go find Sachiko Juraku? As Lady Juraku's livestock, you should be very favored by her, right?"
"I would never use Lady Juraku's favor to help a man! Besides, I don't want to bother Lady Juraku with such a small matter!" Sado replied without hesitation.
This path is blocked. It seems I can only go find Miharu Taki Sakura?
However, he didn't know the other party, nor her personality. If he just went directly, there was a high chance he would be rejected.
Yomotsuki Runa probably felt that she had eaten so much of Ayanokoji's food but couldn't help, so she suddenly remembered something and kindly reminded him.
"By the way, Sakura and her Beautification Committee seem to be troubled by someone right now. If you can help her solve this problem, she might be happy enough to let you check the surveillance."
"Is it that much trouble…? Alright, tell me, who is that person?" Ayanokoji Kiyotaka frowned slightly, not expecting checking a video to be so troublesome.
However, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka vaguely felt that there were many suspicious points in the case of "Hanatemari Kazura being attacked." He wanted to find out who did it, so a little trouble was fine.
"That girl is named Ikishima Midari, and like you, she's a first-year high school student. However, she's very good at gambling and was quite famous in junior high.
After she just entered high school, in just one short month, she challenged many casinos and brought them all under her name. It's said that she's privately known as the casino Destroyer."
casino Destroyer? What a chuunibyou name.
Ayanokoji lightly coughed, and said mysteriously: "Actually, I also have an identity, known as the Destroyer of Worlds. Every time I arrive in a world, a world is destroyed as a result…"
"Oh, come on… Do you really think I haven't seen kamen rider?" Mikura rolled her eyes and waved her hand dismissively.
Yomotsuki Runa giggled, tearing open a bag of cookies as she spoke: "Anyway, among the seven casinos that guy took, five of them were rented out by the Student Council.
This month, she hasn't paid the usage fee for the casino yet, and the Beautification Committee members have gone several times but returned empty-handed.
If you can get that money from her, maybe, no… Sakura doesn't like owing favors to others, she will definitely help you with this."
That certainly sounds like a good suggestion.
"Alright, let's go."
Ayanokoji didn't hesitate, he got up decisively, and casually pulled Mikura's collar, leading her towards the door of the room as if he was walking a pet.
"Hey, why are you pulling me!?" Mikura protested, breaking free from Ayanokoji's grip: "I am Lady Juraku's exclusive livestock, only Lady Juraku can pull this chain!"
She said, even pretending to bite Ayanokoji Kiyotaka like a dog.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka stepped back, he wasn't angry, and calmly persuaded Mikura.
"First, I need someone to lead the way there.
Second, I need a member of the Student Council to accompany me, otherwise, as a new student, I have no proof, why should she give me the money?
Third, so many members of the Student Council haven't been able to get the money, but if you go with me and get the money back, perhaps you'll win Sachiko Juraku's favor? This would be a good thing for you too, wouldn't it?"
Yomotsuki smiled: "Mikura, just go with him. If you complete this task, Sakura will definitely praise you in front of Sachiko, and maybe Sachiko will even reward you?"
Mikura was tempted.
Just as Ayanokoji and Luna said, if this task was completed, Sachiko Juraku might reward her…
Mikura wrapped the iron chain around her hand, warning Ayanokoji Kiyotaka: "Alright then, I'll go with you, but don't you dare touch me again. This chain can only be held by Lady Juraku!"
