Kakegurui: Ten Consecutive Guaranteed Hits

Volume 1 Chapter 67: Casino Destroyer Ikishima Midari

Although Sachiko Juraku had also shown interest in Ayanokoji, compared to Saotome, Ayanokoji, as a guy, posed no threat at all.

So that's it... Ayanokoji understood, savoring the meaning, looking at Mikura with a playful gaze.

"I understand why you chose to help me back then— Are you afraid that if Saotome wins against me, Sachiko will develop a strong interest in her and try to get her?"

At that time, the favored one would no longer be Mikura, right?

No wonder Mikura helped him back then; she was afraid of having another pet, reducing Sachiko Juraku's attention on her.

She wanted to "compete for favor"...

Ayanokoji couldn't help but laugh, "Rest assured, Saotome is not the kind of girl who would willingly be beneath someone. She wouldn't abandon her dignity and wear a dog leash like you."

"You don't understand; Juraku-sama has the kind of value that makes people willing to abandon their dignity!"

Seeing that Mikura still wanted to argue about the benefits of being a pet, Ayanokoji rolled his eyes, ignored her, and looked at Yomozuki Runa.

She was watching the two with great interest, happy to see Mikura indulging in arguments on the side. In this way, all the snacks in the box would belong to her.

"Runa, can you help me with something?"

Ayanokoji never expected help from Mikura from the beginning, but what disappointed him was that Yomozuki Runa also gave an answer that she would deny.

"Although I am a member of the Student Council, my responsibility is to supervise fair gambling, prevent losers from being unreasonable. Juraku, as the disciplinary committee chairman, of course, has the authority to check the surveillance. However, the one responsible for managing students is actually the Beautification Committee."

Mikura added, "That's right. If you want to see the surveillance, you have to find Miharutaki."

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 school and its surroundings, managing cleaning tools, counting, replenishing, and repairing school facilities, organizing activities related to beautification, and more.

In this Hyakkaou Private Academy, the role of the Beautification Committee Chairman has expanded more than twice. They are also responsible for managing "pets," collecting rent from the casino, and other affairs.

Of course, the management and maintenance of surveillance equipment are also within their responsibilities.

In fact, collecting rent from the casino is the duty of the Beautification Committee Chairman. Sachiko Juraku, as the Public Morals Committee Chairman, has a higher rank than the Beautification Committee Chairman and has the right, not obligation, to do so.

If it weren't for Saotome Mary, she wouldn't personally go to collect the rent.

Miharutaki Sakura is the current Beautification Committee Chairman.

"I don't even know the Beautification Committee Chairman you're talking about..."

Ayanokoji Clearing raised his eyebrows, looking at Mikura, "Can't you go to Sachiko Juraku? As Jule's pet, you should be very favored by her, right?"

"I won't use Juraku-sama's favor to help a man! Besides, I don't want to bother Juraku-sama with such trivial matters!" Sado answered without hesitation.

This path seems impassable. It looks like he'll have to find Miharutaki Sakura.

However, he doesn't know her, and he's unsure of her personality. Approaching her directly has a high chance of being rejected.

Perhaps feeling guilty for not being able to help despite consuming so much of Ayanokoji's food, Yomozuki Runa suddenly remembered something and kindly reminded him.

"Oh, by the way, it seems that Miharutaki and the Beautification Committee are currently troubled by someone. If you can help her with that, maybe she'll be happy and willing to let you check the surveillance."

"Is it that troublesome? Well, tell me, who is that person?" Ayanokoji Clearing raised his eyebrows, finding it unexpectedly troublesome to check a recording.

However, Ayanokoji Clearing vaguely felt that the "Attack on Hanatemari Tsuzura" case had many suspicious points. He wanted to find out who did it, so he decided to endure a bit of trouble.

"The girl's name is Ikishima Midari, she is also a freshman like you. However, she is skilled in gambling and was famous in middle school.

After entering high school, she challenged many casinos within just a month, claiming ownership of those places. It is said that she is secretly known as the Casino Destroyer."

Casino Destroyer? A pretty chuunibyou name.

Ayanokoji coughed lightly, pretending to be mysterious, "Actually, I have an identity too. People call me the Destroyer of Worlds. Whenever I come to a world, a world is destroyed—"

"Give it a rest—- Do you think I haven't seen Kamen Rider?" Mikura rolled her eyes, waving her hand dismissively.

Yomozuki Runa chuckled, tearing open a bag of cookies while speaking, "Anyway, among the seven casinos she took, five are leased by the Student Council. She hasn't paid the usage fee this month, and people from the Beautification Committee have gone several times but returned empty-handed.

If you can get the money from her, maybe, no... Harusaki doesn't like owing favors, but she will definitely help you out."

It did sound like a good proposition.

"Alright, let's go."

Ayanokoji didn't hesitate, stood up decisively, and casually pulled Mikura's collar, leading her towards the room's exit like walking a pet.

"Hey, why are you pulling me!?" Mikura protested, breaking free from Ayanokoji's grasp, "I am Juraku-sama's exclusive pet, only Juraku-sama can pull this chain!"

She said, pretending to bite Ayanokoji like a dog.

Ayanokoji stepped back, not angry, and calmly persuaded Mikura.

"First, I need someone to guide me there. Second, I need a Student Council member to accompany me; otherwise, as a new student, why should she give the money to me? Third, many Student Council members have failed to collect the money. If you go with me and successfully retrieve the money, maybe Sachiko will be pleased? It's a good thing for you too, right?"

Yomozuki Runa smiled slyly, "Mikura, go with him. If you complete this task, Miharutaki will definitely praise you in front of Sachiko, and maybe Sachiko will reward you."

Mikura hesitated.

As Ayanokoji and Runa said, if she completed this task, Juraku-sama might reward her...

Mikura wrapped the iron chain around her hand, warning Ayanokoji, "Fine, I'll go with you for once, but don't touch me again. This chain can only be pulled by Juraku-sama!"
