[Prince of Tennis] Does My Girlfriend Have to Run Laps Too?

[New Serial: "A Whale's Command of the Cursed World". Please add it to your wish list!]

Liang Yexinglai lost a game of Truth or Dare, and her damn competitive streak kicked in. She decided to exploit a loophole and confess to her former classmate, who'd sat in front of and behind her throughout middle school.

She knew this classmate well: serious, old-fashioned, meticulous, and so mature he could practically be her dad. Hearing such a sudden confession, he'd surely bark, "That's so lax!"

Sure enough, her classmate nodded. "I'm honored."

Getting rejected outright meant she had completed the dare! She hadn't lost!

Sure, things might be awkward when they met again, but she could bluff her way through with her acting skills as drama club president!

Liang Yexinglai marched off, full of confidence.

Then, after school, Tezuka Kunimitsu solemnly picked up her bag. "There's no club activity today. Let's go home together."

The drama club president's mask shattered on the spot: What the hell does he mean by that?!

She was weak and aggrieved, but didn't dare tell him the truth.

When he found out it was all a joke, he'd make her run laps until she dropped dead!

So she decided to exploit another loophole...

"I-if I'm your girlfriend, you won't make me run laps, right...?"

Private Blog: "Diary of Eel Tea"

The girl I like confessed to me today.

Fuji helped her, but I have to admit, he did a great job.

Coming Soon: "A Whale's Command of the Cursed World"

During her vacation, Izayoi Hanasaki downloaded a mobile game to kill time.

[Starting from Zero: A Mayor's Life]

"Today is your first day as mayor! Look, the citizens are giving you a warm welcome!"

Izayoi Hanasaki stared at the screen. The white-haired guy in a blindfold and the guy with the hat stand were scowling and clapping halfheartedly... That didn't look very welcoming.

But it didn't matter. She had money to spare. If an NPC's favorability was too low, spending money was always the right move!

With a wave of her hand, she bought every expensive premium item in sight!

The various factions entrenched across Japan soon realized something was very wrong.

Bizarre buildings were popping up all along the roads.

Strange faces were running all over the city.

Members of many factions reported that after falling asleep, they were being bossed around in their dreams by a "mayor."

Running errands everywhere, building strange structures, and working assembly lines in all kinds of factories!

Here are some interviews with the victims:

5t5: Sure, I'm handsome, but isn't making me work the front desk at City Hall a bit much?

Ryomen Sukuna: Sorry for the poor hospitality... my ass! Even the King of Heaven has never tasted my cooking!

Dazai: This is terrifying! I slack off at work every day, but in my dreams I'm frantically processing paperwork!

Hat Stand: That mayor made me a human crane at a Honmaru construction company that doesn't even have a professional license!

Izayoi Hanasaki: Not bad. These SSRs can all boost production. I'm buying them!

"To attract more citizens to your city, build more prestige structures!"

Hanasaki looked at the last page of the in-game shop. The Kappiba Amusement Park, exclusive to big spenders, had stats of 9999. She tapped Purchase.

Hmm... Where should I put it? There's barely any empty space left nearby...

At dawn, Principal Yaga was woken by the children's excited cheers.

He pulled open the curtains.

Overnight, a luxurious amusement park had appeared across from Tokyo Jujutsu High.

With a dark expression, he called the "Mayor Hotline." "I've put up with this mayor for long enough! Tell her to use her technique and move that amusement park!"

"Um, Mr. Yaga, it was your school's teacher 5t5 who insisted it be built there..."
