"Hey! Kuroto-san! We have equipped Aris with weapons! -- Guga?! Yu, Yuuka-san!?"
Momoi pushed the door open happily, and before she could finish her words of good news, she choked on her words
Because in the activity room, besides Yuzu sitting there sweating profusely, and Kuroto Dan sitting there but didn't care, there was the lifelong enemy of their game development department – the great devil Yuuka of Seminar!
"Are you not happy to see me as a guest?" Yuuka held a teacup, knelt on the cushion, and looked at Momoi, Midori, and Alice, who came in from the door.
"No, you're not here to urge us to disband, are you? Isn't the Millennium Prize coming yet?" Momo-chan's eyes turned into white circles. "We have found new members! So we have already met half of your request!"
"Huh~? New members?"
Yuuka narrowed her eyes in disbelief. "No one has applied to join the game development department for a long time, and suddenly, there are new people joining at this time?"
"That's because we didn't recruit new members!" Momo-chan said stubbornly. "As long as we explain it carefully, there will still be people who recognize our club... ah, haha..."
Yuuka narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a scrutinizing expression. "In this case, I'll confirm it a little bit, there's no problem, right?"
"Confirm?" Momo-chan trembled. "Confirm what?"
"According to the rules set by the student union, students who are forced to join the club are not counted in the club's membership. You know this, right?"
Yuuka's eyes swept over Momoi and Midori in front of her, and the two sisters couldn't help but show a frightened expression. "How, how is it possible! Aris-chan voluntarily joined our club!"
"Let me judge that kind of thing myself." Yuuka put on a smile and waved to Alice gently. "Aris-chan, come and sit here? Don't worry, I'll be very gentle~"
"It's just like a tiger choosing its prey..."
Kuroto Dan nodded. What he got in return was a glare from Yuuka. "Mr. Kuroto Dan?"
Kuroto Dan raised his hands decisively in surrender. "I didn't say anything."
"It's the big devil..."
Maybe because Momoi had instilled some strange concepts into Alice, Alice appeared to be very afraid of Yuuka and even called her the 'big devil,' which made Yuuka who was meeting her for the first time very confused.
"What big devil? – Momoi, is it you!"
After scolding Momoi a little, Yuuka finally turned to face Alice, who was trembling like a frightened little animal. She looked at Alice's face and said, "It's really strange. I should have the contact information of all the cute children from Millennium. There's no reason why I wouldn't notice Aris' cuteness?"
"Because Aris is a serious homebody. She stays in her dorm every day to study programming software, so she doesn't often appear in front of everyone..."
Alice recited the self-introduction that Momo-chan and Midori-chan taught her to handle the inspection in a serious manner. Momo-chan had already expected that Yuuka would ask questions about Alice's identity!
Yuuka crossed her arms and said, "Then, what is Aris' job in the club?"
"Light attribute tank profession..."
"Huh?"
"Oh no! It's a programmer! Programmer!"
Alice almost let it slip, but fortunately, Yuzu kept winking at her and quietly raised the tablet with the keywords written on it, which made Alice stop and change back to the correct script.
"Hmph~ Is that so? It seems that Aris-chan is still very capable." Yuuka found the registration information of a student named 'Tendo Alice' in her electronic student book, so she believed Alice's words without any doubt.
After all, there are really many weird students in Millennium.
Just the attributes of gloomy homegirls are numerous in the clubs that write codes next door.
Seeing that Yuuka's interrogation was finally over, Momo-chan and Midori-chan couldn't help but high-five and cheer. "Great, the club can stay!"
"Our efforts have not been in vain!"
"As long as we keep moving forward, the road of the game development department will continue to extend!"
The two sisters cheered and hugged Alice, but Yuuka was obviously confused. "You... did you forget something?
"Of course we know, the Millennium Prize, right?"
At this point, Momo-chan put her hands on her hips and said very confidently, "This time we are sure to win the award!"
"Yes, speaking of this, I finally got to the point I want to talk about."
Yuuka's face put on a dangerous smile, like the smile of a great devil. "Momo-san, Midori-san, you two—— sneaked into the 'ruins,' right?"
"Were we found out?"
Momo-chan was horrified, and Midori-chan beside her quickly reminded her, "Sister! You just admitted it! What if it was a fraud!"
"No fraud. I already know that Mr. Kuroto Dan is the adult you brought out of the ruins."
Yuuka's words made Momo-chan and the others look stunned.
They knew that Kuroto Dan was brought out of the ruins, but she didn't recognize Alice, who was also brought out of the ruins.
Yuuka continued, "However, because someone is willing to help you guarantee Mr. Kuroto Dan, we will put this matter aside for the time being and not discuss it."
"Don't scare me..."
"My little heart is beating..."
"But!" Yuuka said seriously. "The Millennium Prize may not be held. You must be mentally prepared to be abolished."
The atmosphere froze.
Yuzu, Momoi, and Midori were shocked.
Kuroto Dan was calm and composed.
Alice was confused.
"Why, why, why, why!" Momo-chan almost jumped up in anxiety. "Just to abolish the game development department, is it necessary to directly stop the entire Millennium Prize? Devil! Demon! Inhuman!"
"No, how can the affairs of a game development department stop the Millennium Prize!"
Yuuka explained the whole story. "...So, under the impetus of the general trend, the Millennium Prizes may not be held, and the student union is more likely to directly lay off some entertainment clubs that have no contribution. The possibility of you being directly laid off is quite high."
Pah.
Momo-chan lost her strength and knelt on the ground. Behind her, a song of appear to to ring out. "No——!"
"But, it's just a possibility, right?" Midori-chan said anxiously. "If Gehenna and Trinity hadn't started a war..."
"Maybe the Millennium Prize would be held as scheduled." Yuuka nodded. "However, this may not be something that our class of students can influence, but the people who can really influence these..."
"He is still lying in the intensive care unit."
Yuuka left, leaving a group of girls shrouded in sorrow.
Whether it was Momo-chan, Midori-chan, or Yuzu, they all lay on the table with frustrated looks on their faces.
"Is it really going to end..." Momo-chan leaned her face against the table. "Can the Millennium Prize still be held..."
Snap.
Kuroto Dan clapped his hands vigorously to draw the attention of others away from the sad atmosphere.
"Self-pity can't solve anything." Kuroto Dan snapped his fingers loudly. "Start with what you can do, such as—now continue to prepare for the Gashat generation!"
