Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Gunsmoke

"Did you guys hear what those girls just said?" Asano Nazuki suddenly asked with a serious face.

Ise Yu Yuzhijin: "What did they say? Did they even say anything just now?"

Tsukimi sakurazawa: "It seemed like I heard Shirakawa’s name. Kaori, what did you hear?"

The Calligraphy Club trio and Ise Yu Yuzhijin were strolling around the campus, chatting about a suddenly raised topic.

"Shirakawa and Hayakawa were actually strolling the culture festival together!"

"What! I thought Shirakawa especially looked down on Hayakawa Kashi?" Tsukimi sakurazawa looked like she had just been deceived.

Miss Tachibana Tomoku knew that Shirakawa Sawahei had been quite close to Hayakawa Kashi for a while and wasn’t too surprised by the news. But she still refrained from speaking up, according to Shirakawa Sawahei’s request.

"Didn’t you just meet Shirakawa?"

"Yeah." Ise Yu Yuzhijin recalled the terrifying experience in the haunted house earlier, and her little face couldn’t help but blush: "But I didn’t see Shirakawa and Hayakawa interacting just now."

Hearing this, Asano Nazuki understood it clearly; Little Bai’s face indeed didn’t fail expectations and hooked up with that black-hearted woman.

"Could Shirakawa be dating Hayakawa?"

Tsukimi sakurazawa whispered, "What if we, as part of the same club, go help him out?"

"Help out? How do we help out?"

"By playing wingman, we can showcase Shirakawa’s personal charm~ Kaori, what do you think!"

"Ah...? This... let’s not." Asano Nazuki, caught off guard while thinking about her own matters, frowned and said, "Shirakawa probably wouldn’t like others interfering in his affairs, right?"

"Makes sense. Shirakawa is quite scary when he gets expressionless in anger..."

"Why don’t we ask him about it later?" Tsukimi sakurazawa clicked her tongue and sighed: "I can’t believe even Shirakawa, the ironclad straight guy who’s not gentle with girls at all, managed to flirt with Hayakawa. Unbelievable!"

"Actually, Shirakawa is inherently very gentle..." Miss Tachibana Tomoku quietly defended.

"Xiao Mo, stop speaking up for him! We’re not the same!"

Asano Nazuki and Ise Yu Yuzhijin nodded in agreement.

The double-standard iron slag man, Shirakawa Sawahei, is the most annoying!

"Speaking of Hayakawa, he’s participating in the culture festival contest alone this time! So cool!"

Little fangirl Ise Yu Yuzhijin’s eyes sparkled as she cheered her idol on.

"So special? Shirakawa and Kaori seem to be only two people too, right?"

"Yes, Shirakawa said the two of us are enough~" Asano Nazuki felt a little proud, quite happy to top Hayakawa Kashi, that black-hearted woman.

"Shirakawa is indeed still that arrogant." Tsukimi sakurazawa sighed.

"The destined showdown between Hayakawa and Shirakawa, will it take place on the competition stage again?"

Asano Nazuki: ???

What about me! Where did you put me!

Why selectively ignore my existence! Just because I’m a wolf in sheep’s clothing, don’t treat me like trash!

I should be the main protagonist who slaps everyone in the face! Little Bai and that black-hearted woman should only be my stepping stones!

Asano Nazuki didn’t have much time to feel upset, as Shirakawa Sawahei soon came to take her away—the contest was about to start, and all participating teams needed to prepare backstage.

Ise Yu Yuzhijin was also grabbed by her team captain, leaving only Tsukimi sakurazawa and Tachibana Tomoku as the audience.

"Let’s go, Xiao Mo, let’s get a good spot to watch the contest!"

As expected by Tsukimi sakurazawa, the uniquely planned knowledge contest by Akihisa High School attracted quite a few outsiders to watch, with even many school students unable to grab good seats.

Tsukimi sakurazawa managed to persuade a school worker uncle to add two chairs for them, thanks to Miss Tachibana Tomoku’s irresistibly cute looks. Only then did they sit down comfortably, waiting for the contest to start.

Accompanied by the school song of Akihisa High School, the host slowly took the stage, enthusiastically introducing the content and format of the contest.

"Welcome to the Akihisa Culture Festival, savor the charm of knowledge and enjoy the fun of learning! Our slogan is that there’s no useless knowledge, only knowledge not yet used! Whether you like games, manga, light novels, or fashion magazines, you can showcase your strength here and conquer all the audience!"

Backstage, Shirakawa Sawahei listened to the host’s swiftly spoken words and thought that not mentioning sponsor names was really wasteful of his talent.

The group round was divided into four groups, with Shirakawa Sawahei and Hayakawa Kashi not in the same group, meaning they wouldn’t meet at least until the semi-finals. This result made Asano Nazuki slightly disappointed, but she quickly recovered.

Facing off against the black-hearted woman in the semi-finals or finals would be quite a good experience.

She naturally wasn’t worried about Hayakawa Kashi being eliminated. What she cared about was how to completely defeat that woman.

Asano Nazuki glanced at Little Bai. She wondered if this guy would mess up out of the blue?

Luckily, this didn’t come true. The combo of Shirakawa Sawahei and Asano Nazuki was unbeatable. The opponents almost watched them answer all the questions, with their own team unable to do anything but stare.

In what year was Sony’s first gaming console PlayStation released?

Asano Nazuki: 1994!

Who is the composer of the OP in the second season of Fate Zero?

Asano Nazuki: Yuki Kajiura!

The film "Rashomon" is adapted from which short novel?

Asano Nazuki: "In a Bamboo Grove"!

Each team got twenty questions, with the scores calculated based on correct and incorrect answers in the end.

From the format, it seemed like a fair match. However, the unfairness lay in that Shirakawa Sawahei and Asano Nazuki answered all the questions correctly. If the opposing team slipped even slightly, they were directly out.

The immense pressure made several team captains start doubting life.

Wasn’t it supposed to target the academic god with questions! How can he be so proficient...

This overwhelming prowess made them recall the fear of being dominated by Shirakawa Sawahei, the top student.

Eh? Wait, Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t even answer! It was actually that girl he brought who was answering!

What they thought was the academic god showing off turned out the girl he brought wasn’t any ordinary person either...

Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t know why the little girl insisted on exposing her strength and being so proactive, but he didn’t stop her. The two went on to defeat teams one after another, successfully advancing as the group winners.

On the other hand, Hayakawa Kashi also unsurprisingly won first place in his group. The whole contest seemed to become a stage for Asano Nazuki and him.

A faint smoke of competition rose, and the battle was about to erupt!
