"Ok."
Kitagawa Yu took out a Fukuzawa Yukichi note from his wallet and handed it to the cashier.
Of course, this money does not include the art supplies that Shimizu Yuna bought; they were her own. After all, even couples in a relationship in Japan usually split the bill.
Itoya is the oldest stationery store in Japan and the largest stationery store in Tokyo. You could easily call it a museum of stationery development.
You can buy all the stationery you want here. If you take your time to browse, you could easily spend a whole day in the ten-story main building.
However, because Shimizu Yuna really wanted to start drawing as soon as possible, the two did not linger in Itoya for too long. With the help of the shop assistant, they selected two sets of tools and enough drawing paper, then paid and left.
Kitagawa Yu was even considering suggesting they have dinner together when Shimizu Yuna impatiently took her leave.
"My goal tonight is to write four pages! So I need to go home early! Also, I promised my mom we'd have dinner together tonight."
"Alright then, see you tomorrow!"
"Well, see you tomorrow!"
At the subway station exit, Shimizu Yuna smiled and waved goodbye to Kitagawa Yu.
But as soon as she turned around, her eyes darkened, and the smile on her face vanished quickly.
Recalling how Kitagawa Yu had carefully held her in his arms on the crowded subway, the two of them pressed tightly together, she wished she could never be separated from Kitagawa Yu.
So how could she not want to have dinner with Kitagawa Yu?
The excuses about having to draw four pages today and having dinner with her mother were all just that—excuses. The real reason was that she didn't have much money left for living expenses this week.
If she wants to squeeze out more time to finish drawing the first three chapters and submit them for publication sooner, she will definitely have to cut back on the time she spends making dinner and breakfast.
This way, she can have an extra hour and a half to draw every day.
However, this means she can only afford discounted meals from the supermarket for all three meals a day, and her remaining living expenses may not be enough, let alone enough money to eat at restaurants.
Unlike Ayumi, who only needs to focus on studying, training, and dating every day.
She couldn't compare to a wealthy heiress like Ayako. Despite being in the prime of her life, the mere thought of living and surviving was suffocating her.
Even something as simple as having a meal out with someone you like is a luxury for her right now.
But then, a bright smile returned to her face.
Because she believed in Kitagawa Yu, and she believed in her God!

Chapter 105 Anya's Wacool Wacool Song
"Ring ring ring~~~"
"I am back."
"Welcome back! Huh? You're all alone? Where's Ayumi?"
"Ayumi needs to increase her training to prepare for the county competition, so she won't be coming for tutoring today."
"Oh, is that so? Then you can have this extra one."
"Could you please not just give me rice? Where are the vegetables?"
"Hey hey hey!"
Ayumi's absence did not make the atmosphere at the table feel cold.
Chizuka and Elaina huddled together, whispering something to each other. It seemed that after witnessing Elaina's magic, Chizuka had also developed a considerable interest in magic.
Anya, Shoko, and Yuzuru were excitedly discussing the plot of manga and anime as usual, not even noticing the rice grains stuck to their faces.
Kitagawa Yu and Ayako, who would usually be listening to Ayumi talk about school gossip, were chatting about their new song and company matters.
It seems that nobody really cares whether Ayumi is there or not.
After dinner, Kitagawa Yu, who didn't have to tutor Ayumi, didn't rest either. She went to Ayako's company with her to 'guide' their rehearsal on the spot and see if there were any adjustments needed in the arrangement and singing.
Anya, who had never seen what a recording studio looked like, insisted on going after hearing about it. As a result, five minutes later, the coffee shop simply closed for the day early, and everyone walked to Ayako's company together.
That's right, it's walking.
I don't know if Yukiko did it on purpose, but this company is less than 1.5 kilometers away from Kitagawa Yuya's house, which is only a ten-minute walk away.
"This is the company's artist director, and also our band's manager, Nao Akari."
Besides Anri Sada and the other two, the group also met Nao Akari, who had been promoted from a regular manager to an artist director, in the rehearsal room.
After learning that Akari Nao was also a graduate of Sakuraba High School and was their senior, and that she had formed a very good band while in school, their relationship instantly became much closer and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
At this moment, Akari Nao, still somewhat shocked by Elaina and Chizuka's looks, couldn't wait to ask the two if they wanted to become idols.
"You don't need any special talents. Your looks alone are enough to make you surpass 99% of today's idols! If you're willing to join, I guarantee that you'll become top-tier idols within six months!"
Kitagawa Yu thought she was just making empty promises and didn't pay much attention, but Chizuka and Elena seemed to take it seriously.
"Hehehehe, I told you my talent was just as good as my looks, but Takina wouldn't believe me~"
Chizuka struck a pose with a grin, and although she was pretty, why did she look so funny?
The moment the thought crossed his mind, Kitagawa Yu suddenly realized that things were going to get bad.
Sure enough, Anya, who was touching and fiddling with various musical instruments in the rehearsal room, immediately perked up her ears. Before he could even stop her, she quickly tattled to Chizuka.
"Chizuka-neechan! Onii-chan is saying you look hilarious!"
"???"
"."
A moment later, unsurprisingly, although they seemed somewhat tempted by Akari Nao's suggestion, both Elaina and Chizuka ultimately declined her invitation.
"I'm so sorry, but if this coffee shop loses me, its only barista, it'll have to close down."
"That's right, that's right, me too. If the coffee shop didn't have me as its bodyguard, it might go out of business any day now!"
"."
A big question mark immediately appeared on Nao Akari's forehead.
Baristas are one thing, but what's with the bodyguards? Since when do coffee shops need bodyguards?
He shook his head vigorously in his mind, temporarily suppressing these strange thoughts.
Akari Nao originally wanted to say that after Chizuka and Elaina became idols, they could just hire a new barista and bodyguard. With Chizuka and Elaina's looks, being idols would definitely earn them much more than being baristas and bodyguards.
However, she then suddenly noticed the way Chizuka had been stealing glances at Kitagawa Yu, and the intimate distance between Irena and Kitagawa Yu that had already crossed the line of ordinary friends. A strange look flashed in her eyes.
"I remember Anri and the other two saying that Ayako seemed to like her senior, the composer, too, right?"
Akari Nao couldn't help but subtly scrutinize Kitagawa Yu once again.
"This guy is pretty handsome, but surely he's not so handsome that he could make three beautiful girls like Ayako fall for him at the same time?"
Considering that Ayako is the lead singer of a band and will be considered an entertainer in the future, Akari Nao instinctively began to consider whether or not to stop Ayako from dating.
But then she secretly chuckled to herself.
Given Yukiko's concern for Ayako, she couldn't possibly be unaware of Ayako's situation. Even Yukiko didn't stop it, so why is her manager meddling in other people's business?
Without wasting any more time, Ayako and Anri Sada quickly began rehearsals.
Ayako, who had been hoping to record her six new songs as soon as possible, felt an even greater sense of urgency after learning that Shimizu Yuna was also recording a new song this weekend.
Unfortunately, the band's performance style, which requires coordination, makes it difficult for them to match the speed of a solo performance using accompaniment.
Moreover, whether it's Ayako herself or Anri Sada and the other two, their instrument playing level is only first-rate among amateurs, barely approaching professional level.
After listening for less than an hour, Anya and the others were already yawning out of boredom.
Rehearsals are not like performing on stage; the constant interruptions, corrections, and adjustments really affect the experience.
"Chizuka-neechan, Elena-neechan, let's go back~~~ Let Onii-chan stay here by himself, let's go back and watch anime!"
Anya secretly tugged at Chizuka and Elena's sleeves and said...
Unfortunately, Kitagawa Yu still noticed her little trick.
You dare to tattle on him and think you can get away? You're kidding, no way!
"Don't rush off yet! I just thought of a new song. Why don't you sing it? It's really simple!"
"Eh?"
"New song?"
"Shall we sing?"
I won’t be sleepy anymore if you say that!
Chizuka and Elena, who were initially a little bored, immediately became excited upon hearing this. They were unwilling to become idols, but they would certainly be happy to record a new song using professional equipment.
Anya looked at Kitagawa Yu with a suspicious expression.
Although the thoughts Kitagawa Yu heard through mind-reading seemed normal, she still felt something was off about Kitagawa Yu thanks to the Chihuahua power within her.
It has to be said that Anya's Chihuahua power is sometimes quite reliable.
Because Kitagawa Yu brought out the song "Aniyawakuwaku no Song" that was very popular on Bilibili in his previous life. Back then, when he listened to this song, he couldn't help but laugh every time he listened to it.
Chizuka: "The time for the decisive battle has come!"
Anya: "Wow, so cool!"
Anya: "Aniakakui?"
Elena: "Kakuri Kakuri!"
Anya: "Aniakawaii?"
Chizuka: "Kawaii kawaii!"
"."
Because they were wearing monitoring headphones, they couldn't hear what the others were singing. They were just singing their own songs according to Kitagawa Yubun's lyrics and the accompaniment. So none of the three noticed anything wrong during the recording process.
I thought the part I sang was the rap part in the song that Kitagawa Yu was talking about. Who would have thought that the whole song was actually rap!
