CHAPTER 540: CHAPTER 378: SUCCESSFULLY REDEEMING THE RED REDEMPTION COUPON!

Something bad happened.

Fushimi Rokushin thought quickly, trying to come up with an excuse to retrieve the Redemption Voucher; however, Minamoto Tamako anticipated his move, decisively stamped it, completed his part of the signature, and completed the deal.

By then, they had both collected the super prize.

Fushimi’s reaction was quicker than Tamako’s. He stretched lazily, pretending not to care, turned, and continued downstairs, without mentioning anything about exchanging the big prize.

Minamoto Tamako couldn’t hold back, she hurriedly caught up, clutching the Redemption Voucher tightly, waving it back and forth to fan herself, muttering, "Oh dear, what should I make Fujimura-kun do... should it be truth or dare~"

After talking for a while, Minamoto Tamako realized that Fujimura-kun had no reaction, seemingly unconcerned about her making excessive demands, feeling touched deep down, thinking that Fujimura-kun still trusted her character.

When the two walked out of the apartment building, Fushimi stood by the railroad crossing waiting for the train, Minamoto Tamako stood beside her, the power lines broke the midday sunlight into messy pieces, and in the distance, a faint rumble could be heard. She suddenly realized something was amiss, her smile gradually fading, and she cautiously asked, "What do you want to exchange for?"

"Depends on the situation," Fushimi said truthfully, "For example... making your Red Redemption Coupon invalid."

Minamoto Tamako’s eyes widened, she had overestimated Fujimura-kun, this guy was actually so malicious, willing to burn the ship to stop her from cashing in the Red Redemption Coupon, truly inhumane!

Exchanging at the same time wouldn’t be better? Everyone could have a win-win situation afterwards! Why make it a zero-sum game?

"What if I don’t exchange the Red Redemption Coupon?" Minamoto Tamako pressed on.

"Then I won’t exchange either." Fushimi planned to drag it out with her.

"What?! Then what was the point of collecting the stamps?" Minamoto Tamako was anxious, clearly seeing that Fujimura-kun really didn’t care at all, "What if I exchange the Red Redemption Coupon?"

"You can exchange it anytime, feel free to exchange it, never said you couldn’t." Fushimi replied with a smile.

"If I exchange it and you use the stamp to cancel it out, what difference does that make?" Minamoto Tamako was very angry, feeling that this self-harming behavior of Fujimura-kun was not the conduct of a gentleman.

Even close to death, still doing this, truly a leopard cannot change its spots.

"Who said I want to cancel it? I was just making an assumption, an assumption doesn’t necessarily mean reality, you shouldn’t suspect a gentleman with a petty heart." Fushimi glanced at the approaching train and took out some loose change from his pocket.

"So you’re saying, you won’t do such a thing?" Minamoto Tamako felt she might have misunderstood.

However, Fushimi didn’t reply, pretending not to hear, turned to buy a ticket at the vending machine, chose the destination, the machine displayed the fare, Fushimi pulled out a few coins, one by one inserted them into the slot, the vending machine buzzed and spat out a paper ticket.

Seeing this, Minamoto Tamako understood, this guy plans to counter-exchange later—if she makes an excessive demand, Fujimura-kun would use the stamp to cancel it; if she made a demand within acceptable range, Fujimura-kun would comply, then use the stamp to claim the super prize and do as he pleases.

Truly shameless!

Minamoto Tamako snorted coldly, followed to buy a ticket. She figured if Fujimura-kun didn’t exchange, then she wouldn’t either, to prevent him from making some particularly excessive demand.

But then she thought it wasn’t the time to be stubborn, after all, Fujimura-kun didn’t have much time left, if she didn’t hurry, she might not make it in time.

As the captain of the mystery team, she had to be magnanimous, even if Fujimura-kun made some excessive demands, so what? Can’t let Fujimura-kun leave with regrets, right?

Minamoto Tamako was only worried about one thing now, that perhaps Fujimura-kun couldn’t accept her demand, then used the stamp to cancel her Redemption Voucher, leading to mutual destruction.

She could accept Fujimura-kun’s counterplay, but couldn’t accept not getting to play herself.

Having thought it through, Minamoto Tamako followed Fushimi onto the train, sitting next to her. The train rumbled to life, buildings outside slowly receded. She tentatively asked, "Speaking of which, I had an idea before..."

"What idea?"

Fushimi looked down, typing on his phone, replying to a message from a drug dealer.

Minamoto Tamako stammered, a bit embarrassed, "Well, before, hadn’t I taken over the chores, of course, I’m still doing them now, so I was thinking, maybe one day Fujimura-kun could help with the chores too..."

Fushimi heard the underlying meaning, slightly surprised, turned to ask, "You want to use the Red Redemption Coupon to make me do housework?"

If it was just that, he could accept it, after all, it’s only a day of housework, how hard could it be?

"Uh, something like that..." Minamoto Tamako mumbled.

"Something like... how much like?" Fushimi even stopped replying to messages, clearly seeing that Minamoto Tamako seemed inclined to compromise.

"More like a butler in anime..."

Minamoto Tamako organized her wording internally, trying to describe it politely yet accurately express her request: "Have you seen Black Butler? Wearing special uniforms, arranging the house neatly, as soon as the master gets up, the butler bows and says, ’Ohayo gozaimasu’; when the master speaks, the butler serves exquisite cuisine; when the master comes home from work, the butler bows down, saying ’Okaerinasai’..."

As she spoke, she got excited, spilling everything she fantasized in her heart, even picturing related scenes in her mind, especially Fujimura-kun in a maid uniform bowing at the entrance, just thinking about it made her tingle!
