Chapter 7: 7: Simulation Restarted
[After careful consideration, you believe that with the current level of progress, you can't yet be confident in making Kasumigaoka Utaha submit to you.]
[You think that you shouldn't recklessly reveal your desires for her before finding more of her weaknesses.]
[In interpersonal relationships, being proactive is a disadvantage.]
[You understand that simply chasing your prey is not enough. Necessary preparation and steps are the foundation of success.]
[*A hunter finds the prey, continuously harasses it, and feigns attacks to wear it down.]
[When the prey is exhausted and can no longer resist, the hunter can easily capture it, whether for its valuable fur or its fresh meat.]
[For now, just making Kasumigaoka Utaha aware of your presence and causing her anxiety is enough.]
[What you need to do next is simple—apply pressure gradually without taking direct action. Only when she can no longer hold on will be the right time for you to act.]
[After thinking this through, you don't respond directly to Kasumigaoka Utaha's words but instead sit down on the sofa.]
Suzumiya Chisato strokes his chin.
The version of himself in the simulator is truly wicked.
In the context of a hentai world, he would definitely be a main character, like the strongest warrior or a boss character.
But having such a self as the protagonist indeed makes the plot quite exciting and interesting.
No, he can't wait any longer. He needs to experience the first-person perspective.
The environment changes around him, and he finds himself in the familiar student council room of the simulation.
It's nostalgic, because during the previous simulation, several of his secret meetings with Kasumigaoka Utaha took place here.
The spacious student council meeting table, the soft leather sofa, and the window facing the playground all had her warmth.
However, since the simulation has restarted, those events haven't occurred.
But Suzumiya Chisato thinks it's no big deal.
The difficulty of the simulation isn't high, and he managed to reach a deep understanding with Kasumigaoka Utaha in his first attempt.
This time, with previous experience, he's clearly prepared and determined to reach new heights.
He's going to experience all eighteen inappropriate positions this time.
"You say I'll hurt innocent people around you? I never said such things. What do you take me for?"
Suzumiya Chisato rests his elbows on his thighs and crosses his hands at his nose.
"Don't guess at others' thoughts. I am the student council president of this school, and it's an honor for me to hold such an important position because of the trust of my classmates."
"To live up to their trust, I have a duty to uphold school rules and ensure a healthy and friendly campus life for students."
"What I said earlier about Tomoya Aki was just a friendly reminder to let you know about the matter."
"After all, not reporting to the school and privately engaging in so many part-time jobs, regardless of safety, indeed violates school rules."
"For students, it could be considered a form of not attending to their studies."
[Your drastically different attitudes have confused Kasumigaoka Utaha. She prides herself on her intelligence but can't see through your real intentions.]
"Stop beating around the bush. Just say what you mean. Hiding things isn't very manly, is it?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha raises her voice and adopts a deliberately dismissive expression, trying to make the man reveal his true thoughts.
But this clumsy attempt at provoking him didn't trick Suzumiya Chisato.
He calmly shook his head and said,
"I didn't call you here today with any other intentions. I'm just informing you, from the perspective of school regulations, that Tomoya Aki's unauthorized part-time work must stop."
"Also, your club currently has only four members, right?
"The previous student council president was quite lenient and might have overlooked things, but my personality is more rigid and serious. I'll enforce the rules as they're written."
"Within a week, your club must increase its membership to eight people."
"If you don't meet this requirement, your club will be downgraded to a casual group."
"Additionally, the multimedia classroom currently provided for your use will be reclaimed for formal clubs that meet the regulations, and the activity funds previously allocated to you will be discontinued."
"That's about it. You can go now."
[Each official statement you made made Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression darker.]
[She seemed to want to say something but, under your cold gaze, ended up saying nothing and silently walked away.]
Interesting.
Suzumiya Chisato exited the first-person perspective.
In the past, while watching scenes in movies or novels from the audience's perspective, he would always unconsciously put himself in the protagonist's shoes.
He felt disgusted by the antagonists who defied societal morals, wishing they would suffer as much as possible and face appropriate punishment.
However, now that he's the antagonist in the simulation, such thoughts have mysteriously vanished.
It seems that humans can't escape their greedy and selfish nature.
After a bit of self-reflection, Suzumiya Chisato continued to observe the simulation.
[The next day, during lunch break, surprisingly, Tomoya Aki came alone to the student council room.]
[He bowed and asked you not to pursue his excessive part-time work. He explained that the money from these jobs wasn't for his own use but was to be invested in club activities.]
[He also mentioned the issue of insufficient club members and hoped you would give him more time, as this was related to his long-held dream.]
[He hoped you could be more lenient.]
[Seeing Tomoya Aki bowing deeply in front of you, you realize that Kasumigaoka Utaha must have relayed your words from yesterday exactly as you said.]
[So, for someone like him, you are prepared to…]
[1. Mock him, saying, "It's laughable. Why should I care about your dreams?"]
[2. Take an official stance and formally reject his request.]
[3. Agree to his request. Your villainous instincts tell you that gaining his favor might be unexpectedly useful later.]
