Chapter 1222: Being pursued? Take down the winner-in-life?
Tengu City, Central Plaza.
When Wu Yan arrived at the venue of the Tenou Festival, he was greeted by a sea of people.
Compared to yesterday, there are more people here than ever before.
It is understandable.
Tenou Festival only lasts for three days. To outside visitors, today is the last day to enjoy the Tenou Festival.
This is because the third day is reserved for students. The third day of the Tenou Festival is also known as the after-festival celebration.
All the students from all ten high schools can participate. For outsiders, this is the last chance to join.
The students are given exclusive access on the third day because they manned the stalls and fulfilled their given roles over the first two days of the festival. After working hard, the students naturally expect to play hard. Granted, some students tagged their friends to help them out at the stalls so they can take turns enjoying the festival.
However, it would be unfair to expect the students to only work during the festival.
The third day of the festival is thus traditionally reserved for students.
This is the reason why there are more people here than yesterday.
It is also why the second day of the Tenou Festival is the busiest day of the entire festival.
Walking along a certain path, Wu Yan made his way over to the stalls created by Raizen High students while Yuzuru, Kaguya, Tohka, and Kurumi trailed behind him. The other students laughed when they saw him.
"Yo! Shido! You're late!"
"I am not as energetic as you guys, cut me some slack..."
"Must be tough being on the interschool liaison committee, huh?"
"Don't give me so much crap to deal with if you already know my situation!"
"Oh, quit your whining you playa!"
"Shut up! You guys put me up to this, I didn't ask for this now did I?!"
"Well, it's your own fault for always strutting around with those beautiful ladies by your side. You're asking for it..."
"I don't know why you're messing with me, just go find someone and get hitched already!"
"Hahaha!"
The students continued to bust Wu Yan's proverbial nuts while poking fun at him. Kaguya and Yuzuru exchanged a look.
"To have the admiration of so many people, even if they are only mortals, Master is truly a man among men..."
"Agreed, Master is very popular..."
"Hey, you girls don't know about this, huh?"
Shiori giggled.
"Your Master is so popular because of you girls!"
"Har?"
Tohka couldn't wrap her head around the idea.
"Why?"
"Ara ara..."
Kurumi tilted her head while placing her index finger on her lips.
"Because they are jealous..."
"Jealous?"
Tohka's limited brain capacity and air-headedness made it hard for her to understand the complex relationships between males and females.

Wu Yan snapped back at them.
"I don't even know these people!"
"Why are you having so much fun chatting with them if you don't know them?"
"They greeted me first, I can't just ignore them."
Wu Yan rolled her eyes at Shiori.
"I thought this is all the rage nowadays, getting to know new people and pretending you care..."
The girls giggled.
Soon, they arrived at the Maid Cafe. Wu Yan stopped before he bade the ladies goodbye.
"Alright, we're here. You girls work hard now..."
"Eh~"
Tohka grumbled.
"Shido, you're not going to serve customers with us?"
"It's a Maid Cafe..."
Wu Yan tapped Tohka's head.
"If you make me serve the customers then you're going to lose business pretty quickly."
"This is one of the perks of being in charge of the interschool liaison committee. Once the festival starts, they are basically off the hook and free to play around."
Shiori sighed, she is also slightly pouty.
"I was thinking about making you tour the festival with Kotori and Yoshino. I didn't think Reine would take Yoshino out while Kotori went MIA. I thought Kotori of all people would have liked to sightsee during this festival, not to mention, we don't have school before and after the festival..."
"No no no..."
Wu Yan mumbled.
"Commander-mode Kotori won't participate in something so 'childish'. She's a commander..."
"Nn? What was that?"
"Nothing."
Wu Yan waved his hand. He almost let the cat out of the bag. Then, a loud cheer came from behind Wu Yan.
"Dar~Ling ~"
The sweet voice echoed throughout the area.
Wu Yan's expression froze just like the other girls around him. The Raizen High students also stopped.
They turned towards the source of the sound to look at whoever just called Wu Yan "Darling".
Imagine their shock when they identified the perpetrator.
She is a girl with purple hair in a white one-piece dress. The dress failed to hide her explosive figure. She is also probably an incredibly beautiful girl.
The beauty of this girl can't be determined because she is wearing a mask that covered all her facial features except for her mouth.
She is happily waving toward Wu Yan while dashing over.
All eyes are on Wu Yan once again. They were puzzled by this weird scene.
"She just called him 'darling', didn't she?"
"Did she mean to call Itsuka her Darling?"
"B-but he has so many gorgeous beauties around him already?!"
"Another one?"
The students around him started whispering while giving him weird looks. He felt sharp stares stabbing into his back.
Clearly, these people assumed she was the new addition to the Itsuka Harem.
His face paled, turned green, black, and red, displaying a myriad of colors in a short instance.
He jumped over to the masked girl before hauling ass out of that place with the lady in tow.
"Damn you, Itsuka! Don't think you can escape!"
"How dare you expand your harem once more! Aren't you satisfied with so many chicks pining after you already?!"
"We should have made you do all the hard tasks instead of just participating in the committee!"
"St-stand there!"
"Let me punch you once!"
"Yeah, just a punch!"
"Stop, you scum!"
"Get him!"
The students started chasing after him like heroes hunting the devil king down. The male students blew their tops off when they saw Wu Yan's new Harem member. They stopped prepping as they grabbed the closest hard metallic object to form a mob.
The spirits and Shiori stared in stunned silence when the male students went after Wu Yan.
"Sh-shido's going to get killed..."
Tohka started panicking.
"We've got to save him!"
"No need."
"Restrain."
Kaguya and Yuzuru hugged Tohka's slender waist. They grumbled with bitter looks.
"He had it coming."
Shiori also agreed.
"It's his fault for being a player."
"Ara ara...."
Kurumi shrugged.
"Hubby-sama, you're on your own..."
