It's a romantic comedy for everyone, so why am I the only one single?

However, Iura Hide wasn't concerned about whether they were shocked or not; what he cared about was how much more the club's activity funding could be increased.

"How about it?"

Before Xian Shixiang and the other two could react, he had already asked impatiently.

"I never would have guessed you were such a talented songwriter. I feel like you could debut as a professional singer," Xian Shixiang couldn't help but praise.

After a quick thought, he said, "We can increase the original application amount by 50%, but no more than that, considering the number of members in the Light Music Club. Of course, I'm talking about the actual number of members, not just those who are there to make up the numbers."

If the original application amount is increased by 50%, it's equivalent to doubling the initial 50,000 yen, which is enough to record about two songs.

Iura Hide was fairly satisfied.

"So when will we receive the funding?"

"Iura, do you need it urgently?" Kono Sakura asked curiously upon hearing this.

"Well, I was thinking that if we could get the funding soon, we could go to the recording studio this weekend to finish recording these two songs. Otherwise, I won't have time from Monday to Friday, and it will take at least another week."

Iura Hide did not hide anything.

He applied for club activity funds specifically to record songs.

Anyway, as long as Little Lonely goes along, it can be considered as 'carrying out club activities'.

“I see,” Kono Sakura turned to Sengoku Sho, “President, shall we go back and finish the procedures later?”

! ”

Sho Sengoku naturally had no objections, after all, Hideaki Iura was one of his few friends.

Within the rules, he was naturally happy to help as much as possible.

"Filling out the audit report will take a little time, but it should be ready before the lunch break ends. Ipo, come to the student council office before class, and you should be able to collect your funding then."

"That's great!"

Iura Hide couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing how incredibly useful it was to have good interpersonal relationships.

However, Ayasaki Remi, who was usually closest to Kono Sakura, stared wide-eyed, her gaze shifting back and forth between Kono Sakura and Ayasaki, a strange look flashing in her eyes.

On the surface, Kono Sakura's smile and tone of voice seemed no different from usual.

But she could vaguely sense that compared to her usual formulaic smile, Kono Sakura's smile was much more sincere at this moment, and even her tone of voice was gentler than usual!

"Could it be that Sakura..."

Ayasaki Remi turned her head to look at Mashiro, who was sitting quietly like a doll not far away, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although in her opinion, Kono Sakura is excellent in every way. Not only is she the vice president and secretary of the student council, but she also has excellent academic performance, a gentle and considerate personality, knows how to take care of people, and is also very good at cooking.

However, it must be admitted that Mashiro is indeed prettier than Kono Sakura, and even comparable to Hori Kyoko, who is universally recognized as the most beautiful girl in the grade.

Furthermore, Iura Hide has been getting very close to Mashiro lately.

The two of them had even gone to the point of going to school together, leaving school together, and having lunch together.

Although it was arranged by the teacher for Iura Hide to take care of Mashiro, a transfer student from abroad, what if Iura Hide actually falls in love with Mashiro as well?

"No, if Iura also likes Shiina, Sakura is in the same class as them, so there's no way she wouldn't know."

"But just in case, let's find an opportunity to test Iura!"

As Sakura Kono's best friend, Remi Ayasaki felt obligated to help Sakura Kono figure things out.

So, while Iura Hide was collecting club activity funds and only she and Kono Sakura were in the office, she immediately pretended to be gossipy and asked curiously about the relationship between Iura Hide and Mashiro.

"Hey, Iura, are you dating that Shiina-kun? I've noticed you two have been spending a lot of time together lately!"

When the question was asked, Iura Hide was fine, only slightly taken aback.

Kono Sakura, on the other hand, caught her breath, and her heart seemed to stop beating with tension.

"We weren't dating; it was just that the teacher assigned me to take care of her."

Iura Hide answered calmly, without any hint of guilt or evasion. This made Ayasaki Reimi, who had been watching him, and Kono Sakura, who seemed unintentionally but was actually secretly listening and glancing at him out of the corner of her eye, both secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

However, they soon realized that they had been too optimistic.

"Don't you like Shiina-san? This is a great opportunity to pursue her!"

"Actually, I already have a girlfriend."

After only a moment's hesitation, Iura Hide frankly admitted that he already had a girlfriend.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ayasaki Remi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Kono Sakura, standing to the side, turned pale, her eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.

"What did you say? You already have a girlfriend? How come we didn't know?"

"She's not from our school, of course you wouldn't know~"

"So, when did you two start dating?"

"Just a few days ago."

As he spoke, Hideaki Iura gave Reimi Ayasaki a strange look.

If someone like him just toned down his overly cheerful and sunny personality a little, he would be a typical social butterfly. Isn't it normal for him to have a girlfriend?

Why is Ayasaki Remi reacting so strongly?

However, since Ayasaki Remi already had a boyfriend named Sengoku Sho, and their relationship had always been very stable, he didn't think much of it.

Because of Ayasaki Reimi, he didn't notice that Kono Sakura had silently lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her face growing paler.

Before the hidden feelings could be conveyed to the other person, the opportunity to speak had already been lost.

That indescribable bitterness was like heavy dark clouds obscuring the sunlight, causing Kono Sakura's eyes to completely lose their luster at that moment.

"Class is about to start, Kono, let's go!"

Iura Hide finally shifted his gaze from Ayasaki Reimi and turned to look at Kono Sakura.

He simply didn't see the unusual expression on Kono Sakura's face because of the angle.

"You go ahead, I still have some things to take care of."

Kono Sakura lowered her head, intending to say something like that.

She was afraid that she would lose control of her emotions and that if she looked up, Iura Hide would notice her abnormality.

However, the words were stuck in her throat as if something was blocking them. Her body's instincts were completely beyond the control of reason, and she responded softly and stood up.

Fortunately, that formulaic, mask-like, gentle smile, which is also like a spring breeze, has long been part of her instincts.

When she looked up again, apart from being slightly pale, she looked just like usual.

Iura Hide wasn't a pervert and didn't have the habit of staring at girls' faces, so he didn't notice it.

Ayasaki Remi noticed, but what could she say at a time like this?

"Sakura is so smart and rational, she shouldn't have any problems, right?"

Ayasaki Remi prayed silently.

However, what she didn't know was that Kono Sakura, who had never been distracted in class since childhood, was unusually absent-minded for the entire two periods after returning to the classroom.

Even when she was daydreaming, she would unconsciously turn her head slightly and secretly watch the figure who was blatantly sleeping on the table, just staring blankly at him.

"Get up, Mashiro, it's time to go home!"

"Oh!"

The melodious school bell, like a noisy alarm clock every morning, forced Iura Hide, who was sleeping soundly, to wake up with a yawn.

Since there were still two hours until the agreed-upon 5 PM, and the commute would only take a little over half an hour, he did what he always did: first, he took Mashiro home, and then spent twenty minutes preparing dinner for her. He also helped her choose a T-shirt and panties to wear after her shower that night. After that, he went to the convenience store to print out "April" and took the subway to Chiyoda.

"Huh? Toyosaki High School uniform?"

Since it wasn't rush hour, the subway cars were somewhat empty.

Although most high schools finish classes at 3 p.m., due to the abundance of extracurricular activities in high schools, it is rare to see students wearing high school uniforms on the subway at this time.

Not to mention, this girl with waist-length black hair and dark red eyes, wearing the same Toyosaki High School uniform as Kitagawa Kaimu, is a stunning beauty whose looks are no less than Hori Kyoko and Mashiro's, and whose tall and voluptuous figure surpasses even Kitagawa Kaimu's. Especially her pair of long, round, straight, black-torn legs, which are truly visually striking.

"As expected of a crossover anime world, you can easily encounter beauties with looks that are on par with female leads!" Iura Hide couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

However, with a beautiful girlfriend like Kitagawa Kaimu and a pet girl like Mashiro who gives him daily perks, his Dao heart is much stronger than before.

He glanced at it with a hint of surprise, then looked away with a normal expression and focused on scrolling through short videos.

However, just as he turned his gaze away, the beautiful woman with long, straight black hair who looked like a Yamato Nadeshiko also turned to look at him. Although her face was expressionless, a look of surprise and curiosity flashed in her dark red eyes.

"Huh? Isn't that guy the genius forward from Katagiri High School?"

"I remember he had green hair, how come he has white hair now?"

Clearly, the girl recognized Iura Hide.

In fact, as the genius captain of the Katagiri soccer team, Iura Hide was a player who single-handedly led Katagiri High School to the national top eight in his first year of high school. Even in the entire high school world, he was not an unknown figure.

After all, football is the second most popular sport in Japan, after baseball.

What's more, when Katagiri High School came to their school to play a match last year, she was also dragged to the stadium by her friends to cheer on the soccer team.

In that match, Hideaki Iura not only easily scored a hat-trick, netting three goals, but also provided two assists, ultimately leading Katagiri High School to a resounding 5-0 victory over their school, leaving a deep impression on her.

"But this guy seems to have become quite handsome after dyeing his hair white and changing his hairstyle."

The girl seemed to suddenly remember something. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly looked away, picking up her phone and tapping away.

"Next stop: Fujimi Station"

About twenty minutes later, Iura Hide, who was about to arrive at the station, finally stopped watching videos, got up and walked towards the train door.

At the same time, the beautiful woman with long, straight black hair who had been engrossed in typing also looked up at the scrolling arrival information, quickly locked her phone, picked up her bag, and stood up.

"Huh? Is he/she getting off at this stop too?"
