Volume 1 Chapter 42: If You Want to Gamble, Don't Cheat!
Among these facilities, aside from the employed staff, some of the service providers were students who had become "livestock." The wages from these jobs within the school were far better than outside, making this high school arguably the best-treated in the world, not considering gambling, of course.
However, due to a new poli...

Volume 1 Chapter 41: The Hidden Resistance Organization of the School
During the lunch break, Kiyohei had intended to find Mary to have lunch together, but she was nowhere to be found. He searched both the classroom and the gambling area, but neither Mary nor Tsuzura could be located. Kiyohei had no choice but to go to the cafeteria alone.
However, he wasn't entirely alone for lunch...

042 Declaring Love Aloud
Momo smiled, his eyes reflecting only Asuna's figure.
Asuna also looked at Momo, at the reflection of herself in his eyes. She could sense that at this moment, this boy in front of her had only her in his eyes and heart.
Only her, Yuuki Asuna.
In an instant, Asuna knew it was time to make some choices.
She chose to face it, to face Momo.

"Argo!"
Asuna shouted anxiously, but by the time she got to her feet, Argo had already run off.
A sense of injustice surged in Asuna's heart. She truly didn't know what she had done wrong to upset Argo. If it was indeed her fault, she was willing to make amends no matter what. However, it seemed that Argo wasn't giving her that chance.
"Argo..."

040: I Hate Both of You
"Both of you are really something, one goes out hunting without a word, staying out overnight without leaving any messages. The other doesn't know anything, yet dares to come out and throw herself into danger. At this rate, neither of you will survive for long!"
Argo's criticism left Asuna feeling ashamed. Looking back, her actions did seem a bit impulsive.

The dark wilderness lay before her, almost obscuring everything ahead. The only source of light was the dim moonlight that provided a faint glimmer.
Behind her was the gate of Tolbana, and in front of her, the pitch-black expanse of the wilderness.
Going back would take her to the warm confines of the inn, but going forward would lead her to unknown danger...

Argo didn't say anything more. She shrunk into Momo's embrace, crying silently.
"I can only admit that I have a favorable impression of you right now. It's probably just at the level of liking. However, what you're asking for is wholehearted love, and I can't provide that right now. Even you, I suppose, are only at the level of liking and impulsiveness, right?"
