>>283026666Satan quads!
>>283026948>>283026976>>283027019>>283027070>>283027101Oof, that hurts, but I guess it was time to show a genius+commoner relationship going wrong
Bonus image for all you Sakuraheads out there
>>283027267Clearly they'll gonna give it to her so she can rape Taira all night long
Thank you for the chapter !Miwa created the heart of the beast a concept that ultimately made Yuu better. Winning was also thanks to his own effort. So we get a parallel of a genius and a nobody working together and winning with them. However she hasn't been getting proper focus in a while so it's probably going to be Kazuki/Niko, all of 4 or no one.
>>283026795>>283026832YAY!!
>>283027019>>283027070>>283027101Having the story being wholesome all this time so this came like a curveball. And I mean it in a good way.
>>283027161I think this was a good justification for her mentality. And a well-written development for her.
Some new merch
>>283027267Would be funny if she just threw it and let them fight amongst themselves for it. Simply because she wants to go back to her own boytoy now that they can get together.Thx mate.
>>283028413Cute
Maybe Yuu will be invited by the general department tongo celebrate with them or they will let the present use that key to go kiss taira
>>283028506They lose Yuu, and while they try to find him, Dad runs across him and decides to take him to see the balcony where he met his wife
>>283026732>STOP THE COUNT
>Here is the key yo Yuu's virginity
>>283027635I've ran into people like her, I fucking hate those parasites, the chairman is justified here
>>283027635More like the other side of the coin of the uneven relationship where a non-genius has no qualms with fucking a genius over because of the assumption that they can pick themselves back up due to their talent.Though this broke my suspension of disbelief a bit. Bio-sciences occur over a long time, are well documented, and submitting research goes through a number of people that demand revision and documentation. There are plenty of times she would've exposed herself before, abd could easily have been exposed after.Still good storytelling, tho.
>>283029512Yeah good on her to take us by surpise like that
>>283027194It's nice that she's got some life in her eyes again. And I think it's great that Yuu's class ultimately won thanks to their own efforts, not through an outside intervention (although technically I guess she could have fudged the results in their *favor*, we don't know)
>>283030035I think they were fully expecting her to rig it against them
She cute
It would have been funny if the Crepe stand ended up winning the whole thing after the sisters made such a big deal about wanting to eat them in the last chapter. Chairwoman's backstory cuts deep for me since something similar happened to my brother when he was doing his PhD.
>>283030790Yeah that shit is why I pretend to be less educated than I actually am, too many scumbags with their hands out asking for gimmies
>>283027911Trust the plan
The Heart of the Beast won.
>>283030790They could have won their own category, we just didn't see itSomething to use in a future omake, perhaps
>>283028413>Dilly-dallying>Locking in
>>283032904Curiously, the others are just two versions of the same image (the character bio pictures from the website). Only Miwa's shogi form is different, I guess since she's not usually very cheerful when playing.
>>283027267Is that the key to Yuu's chastity?
>>283033068The 'S' stands for SEX
>>283033001It's definitely a reflection from how they are during working hours.>Kazuki is always cocky even in home, in stage she just adds makeup>Niko is the same both in and outside the house>Miwa is a gremling in house but can't afford that during matches
Didn't expect to have a sensible & logical backdrop to explain the chairwoman's "villainous" behaviour. Makes me appreciate this author all the more.But now it's time for Miwa to uncover the hidden side of the beast's heart!Thanks for the dump.
>>283027639The BEST!
>>283027267I feel like they'll decline it saying that they want to conquer Yuu with their own strength(willpower) like the president did. Then >>283027717 will happen (or nothing at all because they'll still be too timid)
>>283034532I think they'll be inspired by the president's courage and go through with it (and by them I mean Miwa)
