EPISODE 16 - Blackmailing to Rush Progress
I talked over with Mieko last Friday on what I would like to replace my reward with, and unsurprisingly, she agreed to help.

8:00 PM
*Kibe is in class*
I know that I've already been considered a side character of the Slice-of-Life Boys, but, this has dragged on for too long. Alright, plan... COMMENCE!
12:00 NN
*Bell rings*
I need to separate them in order to for the others not to know my intentions.
Kibe: Also for them not to back each other up during the process of my plan.
What should I do? They're literally like glue who stick to each other almost every time.
Kibe: Should I try it? I probably should.
How do I activate it though? I should take advantage of the genres I've been involved with. I'll go visit Okada-sensei a bit.
Kibe: I haven't visited the science lab for a while now...
Golden Week scarred me...
Kibe: I'll just borrow a few of their protagonist powers.
*Kibe goes to the science lab*
*He opens the door*
Kajiwara: Oh! KOUHAI-KUUUN! I MISSED YA!
*Kajiwara approaches Kibe and tries to hug him but Kibe blatantly dodges*
*Kajiwara falls to the ground*
Kajiwara: Oof!
*Kibe approaches Okada eating her lunch*
Kibe: Okada-sensei? Can I borrow you for a bit?
*Okada continues eating her lunch as if nothing happened*
Kibe: Uh, Okada-sensei?
*Okada sighs*
Okada: Fine, but only for a bit, and you better make sure to make it up to me, for Golden Week.
Kibe: Yeah, yeah, I got it.
*He grabs her hand and they both go out the door*
Okada: Try to do anything funny and I'll smack you.
Kibe: I won't.
*He brings her to their classroom*
They're here.
*All four of the Slice-of-Life Protagonists are in their seats talking to each other*
*They approach Ishimoto who is eating his lunch while looking upon Arata's seat*
Overruling Statement: Slice-of-Life to Sci-fi.
Note: Processing...
This shouldn't take long.
Note: Statement False. Encounter Type: Reference.
Huh? Nothing happened. It failed. ONE MORE TIME!
Okada's thoughts: What is he doing? Why are we just standing here?
Okada: Can I go now?
Kibe: BE PATIENT!
*I should restart the encounter and change a bit of the variable involved in overruling*
My attire! I'm wearing my school uniform. But...
*Kibe looks at Okada*
If I wear a lab coat like Okada, then the effect would be greater!
*Kibe smiles*
I'm a geniu-
*Okada pokes both of his eyes*
Kibe: KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! CAN'T THIS WORLD STOP FROM HURTING MY EYES?!
Okada: You were staring at me with lewd eyes, I told you, you shouldn't try anything funny with me, ugly peasant. Everyone! Don't look at him, the more you look at him the more detestab- ugly he becomes.
I heard that.
Kibe: For your record, I have a pretty fine face, and all the girls look at me all the time.
Okada's thoughts: Those are looks of disgust, how pitiful.
Okada: Looks like it backfired, they looked at you so much, you became ugly.
THIS SASSY B*TCH!
Note: Double burn. Also, Kibe is an extremely big baka(idiot).
Kibe: DON'T TEST MY PATIENCE AUTHOR! I CAN READ THAT!
Note: Psh.
*Kibe goes back to the science lab with Okada*
Okada: My lunch is getting col-
Kibe: Leave it, I'll buy you something better.
*Kibe grabs a lab coat and wears it*
*They both head back up the stairs*
*They both go to their classroom and enter*
*They approach Ishimoto*
Overruling Statement: Slice-of-Life to Sci-fi.
Note: Processing...
Let's see.
Note: Statement True. Genre Overruled. Current Genre: Sci-fi. Encounter Type: Reference.
PERFECT!
Kibe: Ishimoto, we need to borrow you for a while.
*Ishimoto looks at Kibe and stands up*
Ishimoto: Sure then.
*The three of them go outside*
Due to the change in genre, nothing can bother us anymore.
*Kibe breathes*
Kibe: PLEASE LET ME JOIN YOUR GROUP!
Ishimoto: Ok, it's fine by me, but I dunno about the others, try asking them.
That easy? Wow, I didn't expect to get approval from one so easily...
Kibe: Thanks. I'll go ask the others.
Okada: Please, do it faster, or I'll dropkick you.
Kibe: Sure, sure.
*All three of them go inside*
I'm pretty sure a few wouldn't understand why no one can bother us, but it's because I'm tricking the audience into thinking that what I'm doing is something plot-relevant in the Sci-fi genre, meaning, the author cannot act against me, nor can any other character interrupt our interrogation.
*Kibe approaches Arata*
You next, tough guy.
Kibe: I have something VERY important to talk about, can you come with me?
Arata: Sure, but be quick, please.
Kibe: This will be very quick.
*Kibe smiles*
*All three of them outside*
Arata: Um, before you ask your question, would you mind if I asked another question?
Kibe: You just did.
Arata: Don't start that conversation with me. Why are you holding Arisu-san's hand? Are you two dating?
Kibe and Okada: Hell no.
Kibe: I will not answer the first question for it is classified information, now back to the original topic... PLEASE LET ME JOIN YOUR GROUP OF 4!
Arata: FOR THE LAST TIME. NO WAY!
Kibe: Figured, you'd say that, but that wasn't a question...
Arata: It wasn't.
Kibe: It was an order.
Arata: You literally said please.
Kibe: It was simply for formality. Now as you can see...
*Kibe grabs something out of his pocket and it shows a glass tube*
Huh? Where did this glass tube come from?
Kibe: Oops, wrong pocket.
*He grabs something from his pants' left pocket*
Kibe: As you can see here...
Arata: I can't see it, I don't exactly have 20/20 vision.
Kibe: I have a friend, and because of her, I have here a copy of your contacts, and it shows that you messaged multiple women...
*Arata gulps*
Gotcha.
Arata: Wh-What are you talking about? I don't message women, women are b-b-boring.
He's stuttering.
Okada: I'm here you know?
Arata: YOU'RE LYING!
Kibe: Are you sure? This picture clearly shows your profile picture in F*cebook.
Censored, huh?
*He shows the picture*
Arata: H-HOW?! PLEASE DON'T SHOW IT!
Checkmate.
Arata: JUST HOW?! Y-YOU HACKER! BLACKMAILER!
Kibe: You know what I want, it's one simple thing, do that and I'll rip this to shreds right here, right now.
Okada: You can't litter in the hallwa-
Kibe: SO what will it be?
*Arata is looking at the floor but he instantaneously reached for the picture of the evidence and he ripped it to shreds*
Arata: AHAHAHHAHA! NOW YOUR PROOF IS GONE!
Kibe: I expected you to do that, so I made a backup.
*Kibe reaches for his right pocket and it shows the exact same picture*
Arata: GIMME THAT!
*He manages to reach it and shreds it again to pieces*
Arata: HA! WHAT NOW?
Kibe: Are you an idiot? What's the point of shredding it to pieces... when you have a soft copy of the evidence?
*Kibe shows his phone with the picture and smiles evilly*
Arata: DAMMIT! DAMMITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!
Kibe: Don't forget to clean your mess in the hallway, or you'll be reported.
Arata: KIBBBBBEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
You dug your own grave.
*Kibe and Okada approaches Yoshida*
Kibe: Hello Yoshida.
Yoshida: Hello, I'm eating, what do you want?
Kibe: Come with me, I have something important to discuss.
Yoshida: Um, ok?
*The three of them go out*
*Arata is still cleaning the hallway when he notices the three of them are outside*
Arata: IDIOTS I'M JUST HERE! YOSHIDA! YOSHIDA NOOOOOOOOO!
Kibe: Ok, I'll get to the point. PLEASE LET ME JOIN YOU-
Yoshida: No.
Kibe: Perhaps, you'd reconsider.
*Kibe opens up his phone to show a recording of him laughing crazily, (refer to Chapter 14)*
*Yoshida falls to the ground kneeling*
Yoshida: My human rights are no more, please don't tarnish it anymore.
Kibe: You know what I want.
Yoshida: Fine, just please delete that video.
Kibe: I promise.
3 out of 4 conquered. I've already won.
*Kibe and Okada go inside the classroom*
Arata: NOOOOOOOOO!
*Yoshida turns around*
Yoshida: Since when were you there?
Arata: I've been here the whole time, dimwit.
*Kibe and Okada go out with Hara*
Yoshida and Arata: NOOOOOOO! HARA DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!
Kibe: PLEASE LET ME JOIN YOUR CLUB!
Hara: Hmmm, in one condition... help me go out with the Idol Harumi-san.
Kibe: Agreed.
Hara: Nice dealing with you.
*They both shake hands*
All according to plan.
Note: Devious. Progress to Slice-of-Life Protagonist: 100%
