{POV: MC}

"Really? Why did you accept that crazy girl request?!" I asked Hachiman.
Seriously, we are just opened and she already requested something hard to do. What is this club for her?! Servant club?!
Hachiman sighed seems already expected my response and replied "Yes. It is not like I can refuse her request either. She could easily disband this club, you know that Satoru-san?"
...
"...You are right. I am sorry." I said to him.
He is right, that goddamn president is just too powerful in this school!
"Don't worry. I can see you have gone a lot this day with the student council president." Hachiman commented.
That would be an understatement, Hachi. She is absolutely my nemesis. She is like the system, but more annoying and not helping.
...
I am still missing you, my friend.
...
Alright, since rejected it impossible, let's try to think about it.
"Anyway, I will think about the candidate right now." I said
Hachiman shrugged and said "Go ahead. I will watch the girls for you."
...The girls don't need to be watched Hachi. They are just there, try to conquer Yukinoshita for you.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I leave Hachi and the girls on the first floor and went to the second floor to find a solution.
...
A student who can operate a computer, within the same age and possibly exist in this world... From my memory, I actually got two candidates.
Azai Kyousuke and Yu Ishigami.
The former is in my classroom and the latter, I honestly can't find him inside this school at all.
The former was the protagonist of the eroge that I have confirmed exist in this world, especially when their present in my classroom. His father was in the war apparently (enemy side), though I never really meet that guy until he got killed by Ageha and Momoyo-san. His father is also the one who injured Vali.
Speaking of Vali, I have no idea where he has gone. He literally disappears after the war.
....
The latter was one of the characters of where is Kaguya's story came from. He should be about the same age as us, but yeah... as I said I am pretty sure I haven't seen him at all in these 3 days. Which means he is not in this school.
I don't have time because the deadline is 1 week, my choice is obvious.
I take out my phone from my storage magic and called Ageha-san immediately.
...
*RING*
...
"Good evening, Ageha-san."
["Ohh, Satoru-kun. What's up you called me? My new son did trouble for you?"]
"No, it is not like that, I just want to ask if you can help me..."
...I explain my situation to her and hopefully, Ageha-san really can help me out.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
About half-hour, the culprit who gave us our first job is a comeback to this building.
!!!
"We are back! I got a lot of snacks for everyone!" Shino said as she greet everyone.
"We are back everyone." Kotonoha also followed.
"Welcome back!" Kaori cheerfully welcomes everyone.
"You are really energetic girl, huh?" Yukino commented from the side.
They already stopped their hugging party, and all the girls currently line up eating all the cuisine and snack again.
...!!
"Back, you head! What do you mean by request for help find a member?!" I yelled toward the president.
Shino shook her head and explain "Well, in the student council we desperately need someone who is good at using computers. You can't use it well either, right? Even if you did, with the club and your actor career... yeah, perhaps you will be rarely showing up on the council either. Hahahaha!"
Sly girl!
...
"But we are just opened!"
"Not my problem. Or you want me to disband this club?" Shino replied.
...!!!
This girl is ducking shameless!
"You are ducking dictator!"
"Hahaha! You need to learn how the world works around you, Sa-to-ru-chan!"
"Don't call me with -chan!"
...While we are bickering with each other, the others watch us with interest.
"Wow, So there is even someone who actually able to crack this guy. I like it." Yukino said.
"Yeah, we can do that but makes Satoru to be annoyed that much... that is awesome." Hachiman followed.
"Honestly, I never thought Satoru-sam--, I mean Satoru-san get so annoyed like that." Ravel also joined.
"I think both of them would make a wonderful friend!" Kotonoha added.
"I agree!" Asia joined.
...
"Thankfully Satoru is a good person, otherwise he would be beating the president multiple times now." Hachiman commented last.
*Nod* *Nod*
...
I can hear that you know! I really want to beat this girl right now if I didn't know morality!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
...In the end, I accept the defeat and begin my move to recruit new members for the student council. While the others insist want to help, I told them that my target would be someone I did know and it is better for me to move alone.
Technically, I didn't lie since I did know Kyousuke from the game.
Next day on break period. I look toward Kyousuke's seat and find he is alone writing on books? But I was sure that's not an academic book. There is also no his sister, weird.
He really looks like a common guy you can find anywhere. Not loner, but not socially active either. He looks gloomy, but he is not disgusting or anything.
He is just being generic and perfectly blended with the environment.
Okay, let's do this.
I walk toward where he sitting down and call him out.
...
"Uhmm...Kyousuke-san, Do you have a moment?" I asked as I stand beside his seat.
"Y-Yes?" He answers as he looks at me with a wary expression.
...Did he just stutter? What the duck Ageha told him to me.
"Can you follow me, I want to talk. Important stuff." I replied.
"Oh, O-Okay..."
...After that, he stand up and followed me outside of the classroom. Everyone includes my friend's group members looks at us with a curious eye, but I give them the signal to not follow me.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
He followed me from behind quietly and I lead him to stairs, where should be no one here at this time.
We have arrived at the destination and then we are standing facing and staring at each other.
"Anyway, I don't see your sister today. Where is your sister?" I asked to start the conversation.
".She is taking a break from school for 2 weeks to somewhere else doing ice skeeting competition." He answered casually. His nervousness in the classroom was nowhere to be found, so that was an act.
"She still doing it? I know her family circumstances, she should be free now?" I asked.
"...Well, she said that she loves ice skeeting and wants to continue. Her mother..." He replied again and try to explain. However I know her family circumstances and cut him "Stop it. I know. Don't worry, I will be told Ageha to help about that later."
"Thanks in advance, I guess." He said with gratitude, but he still look wary at me.
...Kanon's mother (Kanon is Kyousuke's non-blood relater sister btw) forced her daughter to become pro ice skeeter in place of her, to achieve her lost dream become pro. Her mother's dream was ruined by Gonzou, she was r*ped by Gonzou when her career still looking bright, got pregnant and Kanon was born because of that deed.
Yep, Gonzou is truly ducked Yakuza. Good thing he is already dead though.
...
"Alright, did Ageha mention anything to you about what I want to say?" I asked with a serious tone.
"Yes, you want me to join the student council as a member. How do you know I was able to operate a computer very well? Not even Ageha-san know it until you told her." Kyousuke replied with an also a serious tone.
Ah, yes even in canon almost no one know your capability. As expected of the manager from the Yakuza group.
"You can say, that I know a lot of things. I know you are the one who managed Azai Group yakuza, not your adopted father, and let's say, one of your members told me." I explained to him.
Kyousuke clicked his tongue and replied "He is not my father, he is just a bastard. Also about your reason, that would be not possible. I am pretty sure no one really knows my identity in the group due to that bastard arrangement."
...Okay this guy is smart. I like him. Okay, time to sell out of my identity.
"Well, just say my network is much vast than you think. You are aware of my identity, right?" I said to him.
Kyousuke nodded and responded "...Hailed as the strongest human in the world? That what Ageha-san told me."
I nodded and continued "Yeah. Did Ageha tell you about the supernatural?"
"Supernatural? Ghost and stuff?" He asked with a confused tone.
...Oh crap. I just step on a landmine here.
"...No, it is nothing." I said try to get away from the topic.
His stare becomes sharp as if he knows that I know something up.
He said with a very serious tone "I feel that you are lying to me, is this related to how you become the strongest human in the world? I can't believe it that a boy in the same age as me makes Ageha-san who was stronger than that bastard is respecting you a lot."
I didn't reply to him while I am contemplating whether I should tell or not.
Okay, I will tell him. This guy is smart, it is much safer if I told him right now rather he find out himself later.
But lets me chalk it a bit.
"That's true. Supernatural exists." I said clearly.
"So magic is real? Are you the strongest magician or something?" He asked.
"...I can't talk about it." I said to him while averting my eyes.
"Is there anything that prevented you to do so?" He asked again.
Goddamn it, this kid is really smart! Consider what he has been experienced, it wasn't a stretch though. Same as me.
"Not really, but the moment you know the truth... you can't get back." I said with a very serious tone.
...
"I want to know the truth. I will seriously consider accepting your request if you told me." He also followed with a serious tone.
Good, that's the deal.
...I start explaining to him about the supernatural side of this world.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
After 10 minutes of explaining and Q&A (we also skipped a class), Kyousuke sat down in the stairs trying to sort all info I had just given to him.
"I can't believe it, that side of the world exists." He said with a surprised tone.
"Yeah, Gonzou-san was the part of the supernatural world too. He was hailed as one of the top 10 strongest humans by the way." I said to him.
Kyousuke nodded and also responded "...That makes sense how that guy is so strong. He could bend metal and destroy any building easily."
...
"So you will agree to join council right now?" I asked him again.
"I never said I will agree. I just seriously consider it." Kyousuke casually replied.
"What?!" I yelled out.
"I just realize despite being claimed the strongest human, you are a bit stupid Satoru-san. I guess nothing is perfect." Kyousuke said while shrugging.
"I am sorry about that! But please, I need you to accept it!" I said as I bow my head down. I just don't want that shitty president mocking me forever for this matter!
...
Kyousuke put both his hand on his pants and said "10 million yen."
"Yes?" I said with a confused tone.
"I will accept it if you give me 10 million yen." He replied.
...Why do you need 10 million yen!
"But you are not even in debt anymore!" I said to him.
"True, but more money isn't hurt anyone." Kyousuke answered.
*Facepalm*
"I forget this guy is money-grubber!" I yelled out what is on my mind.
Kyousuke let out a small chuckle and reacted "Well, since you know my capability, it's not that shocking to me that you know my true nature. Not that I tried to hide it anyway."
"Well- alright. Tell me your account and I will transfer it later." I answered him with a very serious tone.
Kyousuke who hear that having his mouth gaping wide and replied "...You are serious?"
"Money has never been a problem to me. At least the current me." I said to him.
Yep, Azazel inheritance plus my actor career should be easy for me to give this guy that much.
Kyousuke sighed and said "O-Okay. I will join the student council after you send the money. Here is my card."
He put out his wallet and throw one of his personal cards to me.
To have one while he is still 12 years. The boy, no... the man in front of me is a real deal-professional I guess.
...
"Hey, Satoru-san. Before we are back to the classroom, Can you tell me what I should do now?" Kyousuke suddenly asked.
"What do you mean?"
He stare at me and explained "I have been yearning for freedom since I got adopted by the bastard, now I got what I want, I don't know what I should do."
Ah... Of course. Your bastard father already died. You want to kill him after all.
"Find a new goal, Have a happy life, yeah something along that line?" I said to him while shrugging.
"Did you have something like that?" He asked me again.
I put out my chest and answered seriously "Yes. And it is my sister. I love her so much that I can't help but to marry her in the future."
...
"Haaaaah... You are sick, Satoru-san. It seems every strong people really have something weird on their head" Kyousuke exasperatedly said.
"Hahahaha, you are not the first one to say that." I responded while chuckling to myself.
...
"Did I really deserve to have a happy life? I don't have anyone else like you." Kyosuke muttered while looking down on the floor.
I guess I could try to reveal some information that would give him the motivation to move forward.
"You are not alone though, 2 members of your family should be still alive right now if nothing wrong happened." I said, which revealed important information to him.
Kyousuke's expression changed quickly to surprised and asking "What do you mean?!"
*Grav*
He even stands up and holds my shoulder.
However, I have anticipated this kind of reaction so I just replied while grinning at him "That would talk for later if you did accept my request."
I also have prepared my teleport magic to the outside at this moment so I can troll him and show magic is real at the same time.
Time to bail out with style.
"Sayonara~"
*Blink*
...!!!!
The last thing I saw from him was his disbelieved face look at me suddenly disappeared in front of him.
Hell yeah, over-smarting a smart person really feels great!
....
...
..
Ah crap, I forget that I should get back to the classroom, not the outside.

G-Senjou no Maou is a thriller VN with some mystery elements kind of eroge, where is Kyousuke as the protagonist was adopted by Azai Gonzou, and become the son of the big Yakuza.
However, the truth is Kyousuke was held as a hostage after Gonzou adopted him so he can't run away from his family debt. Azai Gonzou promised to give him freedom if he is ever able to pay off his family debt to him. Gonzou give him the position to handle all activities of his yakuza group to pay off his debt, which did give Kyousuke a chance to pay off with earned money he got from managing his Yakuza group.
Later, the main heroine of the story comes to his school searching for 'Maou' who apparently went to the city where Kyousuke living. Maou was well known as an 'International terrorist'. The heroine, which is called Haru was a survivor of one of the Maou terrorist attacks and she swore revenge on him for what he did at her mother's concert in Russia, which is bombing the concert... killed her mother as the result. The accident did happen in Russia, by the way, I did watch it on the international television channel a few years ago.
As you guess it right, Maou is the villain of the story. Heroine chasing the antagonist, protagonist helped her and they are fallen in love together. Classic love story.
There's also the truth is Maou also wants to revenge on Azai Gonzou for what he has done to his family while he was away. Maou monicker's true identity is Kyousuke's older brother but Kyousuke didn't know that until the later part of the story.
There is also their father, who at near the end revealed was alive, but was held hostage by Azai Gonzou as his secret weapon in case Kyousuke or Maou cornered him. Yes, Gonzou is smart and loves to play dirty.
Again, Good thing he is already dead.
...
That's all the premise of the story where Kyousuke is the protagonist.
...Now the million yen question is, Did I really need to tell him all of that?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
{POV: ???}
In the nighttime, Top of an abandoned high building.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
...The wind is really calming on here. Not warm but not cold either.
I look around the surrounding, and I admit this town wasn't bad at all.
After a week of worth investigating, finally, I get to know the whole structure of this town. Despite this place being nowhere big as Tokyo, for some reason, a lot of Japanese rich families reside in this town. For some reason, the crime rate in this place is very low, so low in fact that it is the place with the lowest crime rate on earth.
This is also where my younger brother live peacefully, while our entire family was destroyed and even our father was tortured by that bastard Gonzou!
Instead of having revenge, He is saving himself by literally joining that man, now he also becomes the one who inherited his yakuza group after his death.
The same group who destroyed our family and killed our parents!
I know the man is dead, but it wouldn't stop me to get what I want. First and foremost, I will eradicate the entire Azai group and destroy the government to lead a better future for this country. Even if it will end me killing my own brother.
Also, with all the rich families and how peaceful this town is, It will be hard for me actually destroy this town but.. this town is perfect for my revolution!
I will destroy this 'fake' peace and reveal the truth to the public on how the mafia, government, and rich families control this country from the shadow. I can't wait for the chaos to unfold.
As I contemplated how I should control this town, one of my trusted subordinates called me from behind.
...
"Maou-san, Our base in this town is complete. We are awaiting your next command."
"Thanks. Lead the way."
...
...Enjoy your peaceful time for a while brother until I come for you.
