Kakegurui: Ten Consecutive Guaranteed Hits

Volume 1 Chapter 66 "Stray Cat" and "House Cat"

Satisfied with the snacks Ayanokoji Kiyohei brought her, although they were common snack brands, the taste was a completely new experience for Yomozuki Runa.

Picking and choosing, she alternated between shrimp chips and jelly, thoroughly enjoying herself.

While eating, Yomozuki Runa curiously asked, "Ayanokoji, where did you buy these snacks? Even though it's the same brand, the ones you brought feel like a completely different level than what I buy!"

"Well, that's a secret," Ayanokoji Kiyohei said with a mysterious smile.

A product of the system is bound to be of high quality, no need to elaborate on that.

Sado Mikura stood by, crossed her arms, and chuckled, "It's just junk food. It's amazing that you can enjoy it so much."

"Mikura, you don't know about this..." Yomozuki Runa laughed dismissively, raised the fries in her hand, and extended an invitation, "Do you want to try some?"

After hesitating for a moment, Mikura accepted the fries.

Ten seconds later, she also joined the ranks of snack eaters.

"Didn't you say these are junk food? Why are you so happily eating them?" Ayanokoji Kiyohei teased.

"I am Juraku-sama's livestock. Livestock should eat livestock food, and junk food is perfect for livestock."

Sado Mikura spoke calmly, downplaying herself, but her actions didn't stop for a moment as she continued to grab snacks from the bag.

Mikura was also quite surprised. She hadn't expected mechanically processed snacks to have such a taste, comparable to the food cooked by the chefs from the school restaurant.

It's worth noting that those chefs graduated from the Far Moon Academy.

Ayanokoji Kiyohei didn't eat snacks; he just crossed his arms, smiling and watching Yomozuki Runa.

Yomozuki Runa rolled her eyes lazily and said, "Ayanokoji, spill it. What's the matter with you coming to find me? Since you came to see me, there must be something, right? I won't believe you came all this way just to thank me."

"Indeed, you truly are a member of the student council," Ayanokoji complimented with a smile. "Yes, this time I do have something I want to ask for your help."

"It's like this— Can you let me see the surveillance cameras at the entrance of the main building?" Ayanokoji Kiyohei stated his request.

Although the main building of the school used a Western style and didn't require students to change indoor shoes, most students, especially girls, were accustomed to changing shoes at the entrance.

The lockers in the club building were not locked, so anyone had the possibility of committing the crime.

Ayanokoji Kiyohei wanted to check the surveillance cameras to see who had placed a blade in Hanatemari Tsuzura's shoe.

This was also the purpose of his visit to the student council lounge this time.

Most of the food in this school was managed by the student council, and the surveillance room was no exception.

Ayanokoji Kiyohei briefly recounted the situation, and Mikura, standing nearby, became serious. "Someone put a blade in a girl's shoe— Even if the other party is a 'livestock,' this has already exceeded the element of a prank. It can't be easily forgiven."

"Can you help me then?" Ayanokoji looked at Mikura with hopeful eyes.

"I'm sorry, but I can't." To Ayanokoji Kiyohei's surprise, although Mikura showed disgust, she straightforwardly refused.

Mikura explained, "Although I stay in the student council lounge, I am not a member of the student council. I am Juraku-sama's pet. Pets do not have human rights, naturally lacking the authority to view surveillance footage."

"Hey— Do you really not see yourself as a human being?" Ayanokoji Kiyohei's eyes twitched.

This person is truly peculiar. Who actively wants to be someone else's pet?

"By the way, you also wear the 'Stray Cat' tag on your chest. Won't you be bullied by other girls? Incidents like blades being placed inside shoes could happen to you too."

Mikura proudly snorted, "Don't equate me with other livestock. I am Juraku-sama's exclusive livestock, and no one dares to bully me."

In her eyes, those girls who became "livestock" were "wild cats," and she, on the other hand, was a "house cat"? Both were cats, so who was nobler?

Ayanokoji Kiyohei didn't argue with her and curiously asked, "By the way— What is the usual job of this pet cat of yours?"

"As long as Juraku-sama orders, I must come when called and leave when dismissed. Even at night, I have to stay by Juraku-sama's bed all night, ready to respond to any command as long as Juraku-sama has a need."

Mikura raised her head proudly, as if being a pet was a very honorable thing.

Except for the dog chain around her neck, to put it simply, she was Juraku's personal secretary, responsible for handling various miscellaneous matters for her. It's just that... she was a bit too close as a secretary.

Ayanokoji Kiyohei hadn't expected that Mikura, this personal secretary, had already extended her services to the bed.

Ayanokoji felt a bit moved and subconsciously spoke, "Are you still recruiting pets over there? The benefits sound not bad."

It wasn't that he envied this "night" job; Ayanokoji Kiyohei just suddenly realized that this job seemed quite promising.

"Don't dream. I am Juraku-sama's Pet No. 1, and there is currently no plan to recruit a second pet! Besides, Juraku-sama won't accept a man as a pet who might turn on the master! "

Mikura looked at Ayanokoji Kiyohei vigilantly, leaning forward as if preparing for a prelude to an aggressive action, just like a protective cat guarding its food.

"Detecting a male who poses a danger to Juraku-sama, must be eliminated as soon as possible."

Ayanokoji quickly raised both hands, making a French salute, feeling both amused and helpless.

"Hey, I was just kidding. You're not taking it seriously, are you? Besides, when I mentioned being Juraku's dog, she asked me seriously yesterday if I could be her dog."

"Juraku-sama was just joking!"

Mikura sternly interrupted Ayanokoji's words. Her aggressive posture still hadn't subsided, and she suddenly asked urgently, "Tell me, Ayanokoji, what's your relationship with Saotome Mary?"

"Saotome? Why are you suddenly bringing her up? We're friends, what's the matter?"

"Since she's your friend, take care of her and don't let her appear in Juraku-sama's sight!" Mekura spoke sternly.

"Why don't I understand what you mean? What does Mary and Jule Yukari have to do with each other?" Ayanokoji felt a bit puzzled, unable to follow Mekura's train of thought.

Mekura's expression flickered, seemingly hesitant to speak. After a moment of silence, she decided to tell Ayanokoji.

"I don't know why— but Juraku-sama is very interested in Saotome Mary, wanting to make her the second pet. That day, Juraku-sama purpose want not to collect the casino rent from Yukimi, she was actually there to see Saotome Mary."

“Saotome's performance that day was somewhat poor, and Juraku-sama temporarily lost interest in her. But I'm worried that Juraku-sama will still care about her later, so I hope you can keep an eye on her."
