"Then, who's our next opponent in the second match?"
I asked Yuuji as both of us headed towards the special stage.
As both of us worked on the 'battle of taking the tables', we didn't really have enough time to investigate who our next opponents would be. I just hope that the opponent is really weak.
"From the schedule, it seems that we will win, just like I predicted."
I look at where Yuuji was looking. At this moment, our opponents had already gotten into position and were waiting.
"Oh my? And I thought who they are. They're the love-birds class representatives from class B and C."
"Yo...Yoshii and Sakamoto!? You're our opponents?"
The people who made our faces cringe are the representatives of class B and C, Nemoto-san and Koyama-san. Are the two of them dating?
"What now, Nemoto-san? Since our opponents are the idiots from class F, wouldn't this be an automatic win?"
Hm-to say such bad things about others. Koyama-san's personality is still rather bad.
Being with Nemoto-san really suits her. This is a really irritating couple.
"And now, the second match of the summoning tournament will begin."
At least the English teacher, Endo-sensei, would cut some slack.
"Summon."
The four students present summoned their beasts.
B class, Nemoto Kyoji, English 199 points & C class, Koyama Yuuka, English 165 points.
As expected of the class representatives of B and C teaming up, their marks are rather good.
F class, Sakamoto Yuuji, English 73 points & F class, Akihisa Yoshii, English 59 points.
Yuuji and my marks are also shown on the screen.
English isn't my best subject, and Yuuji hasn't started studying English, so our marks are a lot inferior.
Even so, Yuuji didn't choose this subject in the first round, but the second round. Now I know the reason. Because we couldn't use any tricks in the first round, but we can do so now in the second round.
"Then, Yuuji, bring that thing out."
If the opponent is Nemoto-san, this guy wouldn't forget to bring it.
"Oh? Are you talking about this?"
After saying this, Yuuji pulls out something. It's the exclusive album of Nemoto Kyoji's photos 'Come look at the new me!' Honestly, even if I'm told to look at it, I don't even want to look at it...
"THAT, THAT IS...!!"
Nemoto-san's face immediately froze.
These are the photos of Nemoto-san forced into female clothes when he lost during the last summoning battle. If possible, he might want to bring this together into his grave. However, this is punishment for him toying with Himeji-san's feelings during the last summoning battle!! I won't let him off so easily!!
"Then Nemoto-san, if you don't want us to spread these around-"
While I was speaking, someone tapped me on the shoulder several times. What now?
"Oi oi oi, I say, Akihisa, you're talking to the wrong person!"
"Eh? Really?"
Seems like the person who tapped my shoulder was Yuuji. But besides Nemoto-san, who can I negotiate with...
"Oi, I don't know whether you're Nemoto's girlfriend or just class C's representative, the girl down there, listen up."
"What?"
Koyama-san looked rather surprised as she stared at the photo album in Yuuji's hand. Seems like she doesn't know what they are.
"Look at this."
After saying this, Yuuji flips open to the first page. Inside, there's a photo of Nemoto-san wearing a skirt and staring shyly far away.
"SA, SAKAMOTO! I GOT IT!! I GOT IT!! PLEASE...THAT ALBUM...!!"
Ah, unknowingly, we won. This is so boring.
"Akihisa, hold down Nemoto."
"Ngn, got it."
I followed Yuuji's instructions, pulling Nemoto-san from behind as he tried to grab that album away.
"Alright, then, class C's representative. If you want this album, lose to us."
"SA,SAKAMOTO!! ARE YOU THE DEVIL!!!??"
Nemoto-san let out a sobbing sound. Seeing such a tragic scene, even I would find it rather sad.
Using this form of negotiation, not only would Nemoto-san lose the match, his (probable?) girlfriend will also see the album of his embarrassing photos. To him, it's not even raining, it's pouring.
"...I accept. It'll be our loss."
"I guess that means we have an agreement."
An evil smile appeared on Yuuji's face.
"Yuu, YUUKA!? PLLLEAASSEE!! DON'T LOOK!!"
Nemoto-san's pleas seem so empty, because Koyama-san is flipping through the photo album.
"Akihisa, the winner has been decided. I'm worried about the state of the teahouse. Let's go."
"You're right. Then, Endo-sensei, we win."
I didn't forget to remind Endo-sensei, who had also gone over to peek at the album.
"Ah, yes! The winners are Sakamoto and Yoshii!!"
Now that we have gotten our victory confirmed, we're into the third round. Good, good, good.
"...We're breaking up."
"WAIT, WAIT A SEC!! THERE'S A REASON...!!!!"
We don't have to listen to these sudden words. Someone said before that people who trample on other people's feelings will receive great retribution, so it's true...
