Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

"Yes."

Chitanda Mirai only found out later that Bai Feng was going to host Watanabe Hina's parents the next day, and she pouted and muttered:

"Bai Feng, didn't you say you couldn't let it go?"

When Shiro Kaede remembered that he hadn't yet obtained the funds needed for his next job, he shook his head helplessly and said:

"no way."

"Everything is ready, even the website and mini-program are in place."

"It would be a waste not to turn it on."

Chitanda Mirai paused, stunned:

"If a private restaurant opens, does that mean you won't have any free time in the afternoons anymore?"

Shiro Kaede knew she wanted to talk about their afternoon date, so he denied it:

"some."

"But I don't know how many people will come at this price of 300,000 yen per person."

"There's a high chance no one will come."

"So I'm basically free in the afternoon."

"But if there are guests, I still plan to entertain them and make some money."

Chitanda Mirai breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and smiled slightly:

"Yes, I think this is fine."

"But why did Hina-senpai's parents suddenly say they wanted to come over for dinner?"

Kamidai Bai Feng explained:

"That was said a long time ago."

"And I also plan to have the two of them come for a tasting before the store opens, so that others can give some suggestions."

Chitanda Mirai knew that Watanabe-senpai liked Hakukaze.

Bringing my parents here now just doesn't feel right.

But it doesn’t matter anymore.

After all, Bai Feng is now dating her.

Given his personality, he wouldn't make a move on other girls, right?

In that case, there's nothing to worry about.

Mizuno Maki, recalling Erina's red-rimmed eyes and poor condition that morning, immediately said to Shirafumi:

"Bai Feng, what happened to your sister Erina?"

"She didn't seem to be in a good state this morning, and it looked like she had been crying."

After stewing for a while, Shiro Kaede frowned and recalled:

"No, yesterday when I saw her eating a late-night snack, she was still jumping around and seemed very happy."

Maki Mizuno shook her head softly and said:

"It seems I was overthinking it."

Still somewhat worried about Erina Kamishiro, Bai Feng immediately sent her a message.

[Kamishiro Hakufu: Erina, I heard from Mizuno Maki that you seemed to have cried? Is that true? Did something happen?]

After sending the message, I waited quite a while before receiving a reply.

[Erina Kamishiro: I'm okay, I didn't cry.]

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: Is that so? That's good.]

Erina Kamishiro looked at the message on her phone, pursed her lips, and her eyes slowly reddened again; she was very sad.

But she held back her tears, knowing that if she continued to cry, Bai Feng would probably notice her tear stains by noon.

So she had no choice but to suppress her sadness.

Erina Kamishiro knew that since Bai Feng had said he was dating other girls, it was probably true.

She remained cautious about whether the girl was actually Hojo Kirisa-senpai.

After all, it was all just her speculation.

What if it's not President Hojo Kirisa?

So who could it be?

Could it be one of the great figures in the Literature Department?

Because everyone in the department is often with Bai Feng.

It's possible for feelings to develop over time.

But that's unlikely.

Even if Bai Feng is incredibly charming, it's impossible for everyone in the entire literature department to like him, right?

Let's not even talk about Watanabe Hina and Rika; they've both made it clear that they like Bai Feng.

However, Bai Feng explicitly denied the two of them yesterday, so they can be ruled out.

As for Maki Mizuno, she has said that she doesn't want to find a boyfriend in high school, so she can be ruled out.

Junko Urahara?

Erina thought it was unlikely, because besides food, it seemed that only games could interest Junko.

Because Junko has a rather intimidating aura, basically no boys approach her.

Junko doesn't seem to have much contact with other boys, and she doesn't seem to know much about dating.

Taking all of these factors into account.

Erina can also be ruled out.

Could it be Chitanda Mirai?

Her words.

Probably not.

After all, Chitanda Mirai seems to enjoy reading, doesn't she?

Although she was often with Bai Feng, their relationship mostly remained within the bounds of propriety.

Most importantly, Chitanda Mirai knew that Hina-senpai and Rika liked Hakuka.

Given her impeccably polite nature, she wouldn't possibly sneak away, would she?

Erina Kamishiro felt it was unlikely, as it didn't seem like something she would do in the future.

But if it's not them, then it can only be President Hojo?

Because Bai Feng had mentioned that his girlfriend was at school.

And recently, I've been in the most contact with President Hojo, so it must be her, right?

After much deliberation, Erina Kamishiro concluded that President Hojo was the most likely candidate.

Because Chairman Hojo is not only extremely handsome, but also top-notch in terms of knowledge, ability, and background.

She and Bai Feng are really a perfect match.

Thinking about this, Erina Kamishiro became even more annoyed.

Why is it Chairman Hojo?

noon.

Literary Department.

Everyone has arrived here, ready to have lunch.

When Shiro heard what Mizuno Maki said that morning, he turned to look at Erina beside him and noticed that although there were no tear stains on her face or red eyes, she did look a little depressed.

He asked:

"Erina, are you alright?"

Erina Kamishiro, who was already feeling down, suddenly had veins popping out on her forehead when she heard Bai Feng, the instigator, asking her question. She really wanted to retort, "It's all your fault!"

But in order to maintain her image as a good girl, she suppressed her anger and smiled through gritted teeth in a very obedient manner:

"Onii-chan!"

"I'm fine!"

Chitanda Mirai also expressed some concern:

"Erina-chan, if anything happens, remember to tell everyone in our Literature Club."

"If we can help you, we definitely will."

Erina Kamishiro paused, feeling a little touched. She thought Chitanda Mirai was a really good person. How could someone so good run away?

She expressed her gratitude:

"Thank you. If there is anything I can say, I will definitely say it."

Shiro Shiro felt that his silly little sister's tone was strange, but since she didn't intend to say anything now, he didn't press her further.

Let's see how things go when we're ready to go home.

If you're still feeling this down, then something must have happened.

Let's ask again then.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, everyone in the group chat learned that Yui Nagasawa was going to be on a show, so they all took out their phones and started watching Yui Nagasawa go on stage.

The same thing happened to Shiro Kaede; he searched for a variety show.
