Once again, it's another eight-way competition for the regional championship. North, South, East, and Western representatives from these quadrants gathered for one last time to determine their place in the national round, each hopeful to come out on top. Meiou Academy and former rival, Naroma Private Academy represented the eastern quadrant so contention between them was nothing new.
As Team Meiou made its way to the battlefield, Shuichi grew slightly concerned. There was a student who knew his secret. The same student behind the video that Shuichi's friends practiced their due diligence in defaming. How on earth was Shuichi going to make sure Kaito would keep his mouth shut? Perhaps a group text?
[Kiyoni] "Say what now?"
[Kuronue] "Did I read that correctly?"
[Shuichi] "I'm afraid so (ー_ー゛)"
"Has both video and audio recording"
[Kiyoni] "Audio?"
"Kaito managed to record our conversation"
[Kuronue] "Kaito...Kaito..."
"Who was he again?"
"Kaito Yuu. He's a third year student just like us."
"Classroom 3-B"
"Ah, no wonder"
"(☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞"
[Kiyoni] "I think I know who he is"
"He viewed my TikTok profile recently"
"Turns out, he was at the prefecture round. He recorded you Minamino"
"So I was told (~_~;)"
[Kuroune] "THAT lunatic?!"
"That wannabe conspiracy theorist?"
"Apparently so."
"Wait. Why was he looking at your profile, Ikeda?"
[Kiyoni] "Beats me"
"I think it's because I made a video about his video"
[Kuronue] "Yeah, he's a kook. I think he made a video about blaming the spirit of the Sessho-seki for the demise of the Prime Minister"
"That's neither here nor there right now."
"What matters are the threats"
"What threats bro?"
"Basically if my secret is to remain a secret, we have to do a few things"
"Such as?"
"1. End our friendship in favor of one with him"
"~WWW!~"
"That'll be the day ~W~"
"2. Ikeda has to be his girlfriend"
[Kiyoni] "Ikeda has to do what"
"Girlfriend?"
[Kuronue] "WWW!"
"Stop it I can't hold it together on the bus."
[Kiyoni] "No way in hell would I date someone like him"
"And all of this would have to last until the end of the school year or until Kaito thinks he's gained enough popularity"
[Kiyoni] "He'll be at regionals yeah"
