Devil's Luck[Arc 5: Worlds Apart]

'No. Way.' Zenkichi blinked his eyes, surprised to see the girl in front of him.

Standing in front of him is a slim girl of average height with a pale complexion. She has long, dark blue hair flowing past her waist, the hair framing her face cut shorter at elbow-length, with bangs swept to the right. Two thin hairclips can be found pinned on her bangs to her right, another pinned on the left side of her face. Her eyes are round and dark blue, likely enhanced by makeup.

Although her figure couldn't compare to some of the voluptuous girls in school, there was no doubt that she is attractive.

But Zenkichi wasn't surprised about her beauty, he's seen a lot of them for a while now and had gotten used to just how pretty a girl is, but it was her familiar face that took him by surprise.

She looked extremely similar to a character he'd seen before in Animax and if she is who he thinks it is...

"I'm sorry for bumping into you." The girl said,bringing Zenkichi back to the present.

"It's fine," Zenkichi replied, trying to hide his apprehension as he looked at her more closely, "I was also preoccupied with something as well."

The girl tilted her head slightly, "Is everything all right?"

Zenkichi hummed before asking, "I'm sorry if I'm being rude, and I'm trying to hit on you, but... you look familiar. Do I know you from somewhere?"

'Please don't be who I think you are.'

The girl giggled and said. "Ah. No, no. I got that a lot and... you're not wrong to assume that. Heh." she held out her hand, smiling. "My name is Maizono Sayaka, an idol!"

'Fuck! Danganronpa?! Seriously!?' Contrary to his calm and smiling expression, Zenkichi was panicking.

He's never played the games or watched the sequel and prequel of the series but Zenkichi could still recall that Danganronpa was an interesting anime as a killing game and it was in a school.

Maizono Sayaka is in school.

There was a possible killing game happening soon and with his luck, he would probably even get involved in it for some reason.

Sayaka noticed Zenkichi's sudden change in expression and furrowed her eyebrows. "Is everything okay?"

Zenkichi forced a smile, not wanting to alarm her. "Yeah, everything's fine. I'm just surprised to meet a famous idol like yourself."

Sayaka smiled, seemingly pleased with his response. "Well, it's always nice to meet a fan. What's your name?"

Zenkichi relaxed a bit, "I'm Zenkichi, Year 1 Class 1. It's nice to meet you, Sayaka."

Sayaka's smile widened, "Likewise, Zenkichi. I'm a first year as well and in class 10–" she paused, blinking her eyes, as she recalled something when she heard his name. "Wait, Zenkichi? Zenkichi Hitoyoshi? The Demonic Hound and Dragon Warrior?!"

She gasped, her hands over her mouth, in awe and slight fear.

It was to be expected. Zenkichi's reputation of putting delinquents in their place was well-known among the students.

Zenkichi chuckled nervously, "Yeah, that's me. But please, don't be scared." He looked away, rubbing the back of his head. "...I get that enough from others."

Seeing their eyes wide with fear and terror, looking at him...

He could understand it coming from other delinquents as he wanted to send a message to fuck off and not mess around. But seeing them on other students... he wasn't going to lie, it kinda hurt.

Sayaka noticed the change in Zenkichi's demeanor and felt bad for bringing it up. "I'm sorry, Hitoyoshi. I didn't mean to scare you or make you uncomfortable."

Zenkichi smiled weakly, "No, it's okay. I'm used to it by now. It just... sucks that people only see me as this scary guy."

Sayaka put a hand on his shoulder, "I don't see you that way, Zenkichi. You seem like a kind person to me."

Zenkichi looked down at her, being taller than her by an entire head, and felt a sense of comfort from her words. "Thanks, Maizono-san. That means a lot to me."

He grinned at her.

Suddenly, as if a bolt of lightning struck her, Sayaka's face turned red.

'W-What is this feeling...' Sayaka thought, flustered, as she stared at Zenkichi's face. Admiring his perfect ocean blue eyes, perfectly fitting spiky short yellow hair, and dignified handsome face that just–

Her entire face turned even redder in embarrassment, realizing what she was thinking about her...new friend? Acquaintance? Simply someone she just got to know about in less than 10 minutes!

'What's wrong with me?! I've never felt this way with someone before...Oh god. A-Am I sexually frustrated or something?!'

"Maizono-san? Is something the matter?" Zenkichi's voice snapped her back to reality. She looked up at his gorgeous–aahhh! "Woah! You're face is turning red. Are you coming down with a fever or something?"

"I-I'm fine! It's just... allergies! Yeah. Some kind of dust went up my nose and made me this way." Sayaka hurriedly explained, waving her hands, lying through her teeth. She wasn't to blurt out that she was thinking he was hot, that'd be an awkward conversation to have!

"Oookay." Zenkichi slowly nodded, understanding her behavior. Having her face turning that red could be explained with allergies–

He paused.

'Wait. There's also another possibility.'

He took a slight glance at the side to inspect his system screen.

[Harem Protagonist]: Girls are more attracted to you, guys would naturally envy you. Cringe and cliché pick-up lines will work completely on certain girls.

'There's no way...right?' But judging closely by her reactions and the trope anime usually goes, the possibility was high.

'I should get outta here before she ends up falling for me. I'm all in for getting a girlfriend or one night but having a harem? Yeah, no. There's no way I'm gonna handle a group of girls and treat each of them right. Not right now.'

Even he couldn't deny the idea of having a harem or more than one girlfriend, he's a hot blooded young man and a virgin for more than 2 decades, when you apply his past life, he can't help it.

But he knew better than to let his emotions go out of control. He had goals to accomplish, that needed to be done today, and he couldn't let a potential love interest get in the way of that.

'I was going to ask her...but I am adamant of getting a chill guy to join the club. I don't need that many girls around me all the damn time. I need a guy friend to properly hang out with, dammit!'

Zenkichi cleared his throat, "So, Maizono-san, what brings you to this part of the school?"

Sayaka blinked a few times before realizing Zenkichi was trying to change the topic. "Oh, um, I was just looking for the library. I heard it's a good place to study."

Zenkichi nodded, "Yeah, it is. Do you need any help finding it?"

Sayaka smiled, "That would be great, thank you."

As Zenkichi led Sayaka towards the library, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that their conversation had shifted towards something more innocent. He may have been wary of Sayaka's potential attraction towards him, but he couldn't deny that he enjoyed her company.

As they reached the library, Sayaka turned to Zenkichi with a smile. "Thanks for showing me around, Hitoyoshi-kun. I appreciate it."

Zenkichi smiled back, "No problem, Maizono-san. Let me know if you need any help with anything else."

Sayaka nodded, "I will. See you around, Hitoyoshi-kun."

Sayaka had just turned around when Zenkichi spoke up.

"Hey, Maizono-san. Have you join a club?"

'Fucking system...'

....

In the security room of the school.

"Well, isn't this interesting?" A deep voice sounded out, amused, as he looked at the monitor screen that showed Zenkichi talking to Sayaka at the entrance of the library. "Hitoyoshi Zenkichi is talking to one of the trash barbie's pet projects."

Gun observed the monitor, his eyes still covered with sunglasses, and leaned back his head over the soft office chair and slid his hand through his cool hair.

"Hmm. I've been procrastinating for too long. Though, I've been trying to gather information but the chairman's granddaughter has been trying to keep me off him... Haaa. Am I getting too soft? Hm." Gun grunted and quickly turned the chair around.

Laid across the security room's floor were several bodies, completely bruised and bloodied.

All of them were students of the broadcasting club and was assigned to take care of maintenance in the security room. Unfortunately however, they came across this demon.

Gun stood up from his seat and started walking out of the room.

"Hitoyoshi Zenkichi. I wonder what makes you so special..."
