“―So, you were able to get him to buy it, right?”

The day before the release of Byodoin Systems’ anti-virus software, I was on the phone with my sister’s bodyguard, Aoki, who according to my sister has a smiling venomous tongue.

She only listens to onee-chan, but I dared to entrust Aoki with the task of contacting the man I needed this time.

Because she would never betray me.

It’s not because she cares about me or because she’s close to me.

It’s because if she betrays me, it means she has betrayed onee-chan.

Aoki will never betray Onee-chan.

That’s why it’s better to leave it to Aoki than to leave it to any other person.

She is a very rude person, but she is also an excellent person.

…She’s a really rude person…

“You used a voice recorder, didn’t you?”

“Of course.”

“So, how’d it go?”

“He was a pretty good guy. He wasn’t a great actor, so that adds to his credibility.”

I smiled at Aoki’s words.

And now, all we have to do is wait for the results.

“Thank you, you’ve been very helpful.”

“You don’t need to thank me, I did it for Alice-sama, not for you.”

When I thanked Aoki for her efforts, she replied with such a hateful remark.

Really, this person is so rude…

What kind of attitude is that towards her Master’s sister…!

“Yeah, okay, I understand. I’m hanging up now.”

I didn’t want to deal with Aoki anymore, so I said so and hung up the phone.

I still can’t believe this person is onee-chan and also my homeroom teacher, even though she has this personality.

At school, she pretends to be a kind teacher, but when she comes home, all she does is talk hatefully.

And to top it all off, she calls me a foolish sister!

What is it about me that makes me such a foolish sister!?

I’m still the center of public attention, and I’ve achieved more than anyone else in my generation!

I’m going to make you bark for me one day for sure!

I display Kirara’s contact information on my phone, thinking that I will show Aoki who is superior between us.

Kirara is a woman who once divided the popularity of Japan’s leading school for young ladies with me.

However, she herself was just a kind and sweet woman who hated to compete.

Kirara’s parents are famous for their kindness, and she must have been raised with a lot of care.

I was annoyed by her.

She was different from me, who had been compared to onee-chan ever I was young, and no matter how hard I tried, I could never reach her level, and was treated like a failure.

That’s why I wanted to give Kirara the same treatment as me.

I thought I had completely broken her heart― but I guess I hadn’t yet.

But this time, Kirara would be completely finished.

Because she doesn’t stand a chance.

There are two rules that I’ve tied up this time, but I’ve actually set up a lot of traps― not to say tricks, in other areas.

Kirara probably got distracted by the rules just because I emphasized the word “bindings.

However, I’m restricting her actions so that she won’t notice.

Kirara can’t notice that.

The question is whether or not Kanzaki will be able to notice it― but it doesn’t matter if he does.

In fact, it would be better if he realizes it and buys and sells and buys and sells again during the next two weeks.

That strategy will never work.

I’m creating such a bind so that Kirara won’t notice it.

No, it’s not the same as being oblivious.

It’s better to say that she doesn’t realize the true meaning of that binding.

And if I try to use other money to raise the stock― then I’ve won.

I’m not forbidding that kind of behavior, but I’m telling you to use your connections to keep an eye on the operation.

The management will not tolerate such an act that involves people all over the country.

That’s why they will freeze any account that is repeatedly buying and selling with a lot of money on the same account― or any account that is making money by being the center of buying and selling on multiple accounts.

If the account is frozen, the account that is set up to show the flow of money will become unusable.

That’s because she can’t prove that the money is moving, so Kirara loses.

Maybe if I had really played with only the two rules I had bound this time, I would have lost.

After all, the original stock price of Byodoin Systems was high.

The high price means that the number of people who can buy the stock is limited, which makes it harder to make a profit.

Even though I don’t know much about stocks, I do know what a business owner knows.

Of course, I know about things like stop sales.

It’s just that I don’t know the details like someone who is making money with stocks.

Normally, I’d have a much better chance of winning if I didn’t have to deal with expensive stocks like Byodoin Systems and increased my money steadily.

But that steady approach is something that Kirara can’t do right now.

Even if she were to go on an adventure― there is a high possibility that she would fail.

If it was just a game, she could have ignored the risk and gone on an adventure.

But Kirara knows what’s at stake here, she can’t do that.

That’s why she can’t beat me.

She’s really a good duck if she doesn’t know that and accepts the match.

I was so sure of my victory that all I had to do was wait for the result―.
