Tokyo: Idol Girls have absolutely no bad intentions!

"Do you want to know, senior?" Mori-gami Chinatsu leaned forward, her hands on the edge of the table, and approached Ito Yuujin with a sly yet expectant smile on her face.

"Tsk."

Asada Sakura watched Morikami Chinatsu relentlessly flirting with Ito Yuujin, her eyes filled with disdain.

Senior, do you want to know?

Tsk, what a bad woman, all she does is seduce men.

No, he also seduces women.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Asada Sakura complained, she couldn't get the attention of the two people opposite her.

I felt like a cowardly little mouse hiding in the shadows, never able to reach the cheese.

“If you won’t tell me, then I’ll go ask Nagano Sae myself.” Ito Yujin flipped through the documents. “I think she definitely doesn’t know this thing exists.”

Senior!

Chinatsu Mori's eyes widened instantly, and the exaggerated grievance on her face was replaced by disbelief at the "misplaced trust." She pointed at Yuujin Ito, her fingertips trembling slightly.

"You...you actually used what I gave you to threaten me?!"

This sight gave Asada Sakura a secret thrill.

Yeah! Ito, well done! I knew I wasn't wrong about you, you're definitely not a normal male high school student who can be easily swayed by good looks!

"Then please stop keeping me in suspense."

"Ok."

"Senior, do you know Rin Iketani?"

"Ikeda Rin?"

Upon hearing the familiar name, Yuujin Ito raised an eyebrow slightly: "You mean she will also be participating in this cultural festival?"

Chinatsu Mori nodded: "That's right, I overheard it by accident. After all, she's also one of our alumni, but she's always been participating in competitions and performances, so not many people know about her. She's completely different from Anna Takikawa, the big star who's always on TV shows."

"Isn't she a bassist? Is she going to...play a solo?"

Yuji Ito imagined the scene: the audience was filled with students, then the curtain rose, revealing a beautiful girl holding a bass guitar.

Amidst everyone's confusion, he played a deadly, powerful note.

"Of course not, it seems like she was performing with the president of the light music club."

"I see!" Yuujin Ito instantly understood why Sae Nagano was able to reject him so decisively.

For someone who can serve as a substitute bassist in a top-tier Japanese rock band, coming to this cultural festival is like a game-changer.

Unfortunately, simply having excellent bass technique alone cannot bring about a huge effect.

Although the bassist is often considered the "ringleader" of a band, the absence of a bass would make the music lack power.

However, the average listener's auditory habits often overlook the bass's low frequencies.

Therefore, it was somewhat of a stretch for Sae Nagano to use Rin Iketani's bass to create a climax for the show.

It has some effect, but not a significant one.

Perhaps, it can even serve as a stepping stone for Asada Sakura's program.

When are their shows scheduled?

“Look, it’s right in front of this.” Chinatsu Mori’s slender fingers pointed precisely to the name of Anna Takikawa on the program. “That’s Anna Takikawa’s performance with a keyboardist.”

"Just a keyboardist as accompaniment? Would Sae Nagano agree to that?"

Yujin Ito found it hard to understand, even though a good keyboardist could use a synthesizer to handle all the music.

However, as a high school student, he didn't believe that Hibiya High School could produce another Rin Iketani.

Those positions, which require a high level of musical skill, are usually filled by people with formal musical training and the highest level of music theory knowledge.

“What can we do?” Chinatsu Morikami spread her hands, making a helpless expression. “Don’t you even think about who he’s performing with? That’s Anna Takikawa! A national idol who debuted as a child star.”

The information provided by Chinatsu Morikami included a photo of Anna Takikawa.

He looks like he stepped right out of a comic book!

Her chestnut-brown curly hair was fluffy and cloud-like, with cherry blossom pink highlights at the ends, and two pearl-adorned lily-of-the-valley hair accessories tucked into her hair.

Especially those light blue pupils, like they held the melting clear sky.

"Hey, senior, this isn't the first time you've heard of Anna Takikawa, is it? She's a very popular person at school."

Chinatsu Mori looked at Yuuhito Ito as if he were a rare animal.

This was indeed the first time he had met Anna Takikawa. He might have heard of her before, but hadn't paid much attention to her.

After all, he was looking for a contract partner at the time, and he didn't know much about guys who were rarely at school.

If he had known it would be like this, he definitely would have given it a try.

How could such a beautiful girl be a bad woman?

Another bad woman!

Asada Sakura gritted her teeth at the mention of Takigawa Anna's name, finding her even more detestable than Morikami Chinatsu.

He's gentle with everyone else, but only in front of her...

Sharp-tongued! Harsh!

They're all bad women!

Then he kept blowing air into the water in the cup, creating a series of gurgling bubbles, as if he were cursing those two "bad women" with water.

"Gurgle...gurgle...gurgle..."

"Senior, I'll tell you something in secret."

Chinatsu Morikami seemed not to hear the commotion from Sakura Asada's side.

Chinatsu Morigami leaned close to Yuujin Ito's ear, pressing it tightly against his ear, covering it with her hand, her eyes gleaming with a sly, provocative glint that Asada Sakura noticed.

"It seems that the keyboardist wants to use this cultural festival to confess his feelings, and Takikawa Anna only agreed to participate because of his family."

As for the student council president, they hope that Takikawa Anna can stabilize the atmosphere that Iketani Rin has created.

Yuji Ito was looking through the information on the keyboardist, Naoto Shinno.

His eyes lit up; the opportunity had arrived.

The son of Hoshino Entertainment, a wealthy and powerful man, is Ito Yuujin's favorite!

How disgusting... those eyes are disgusting...

Whether it's the philandering cat or the idiot, they're both bastards.

Asada Sakura unconsciously accelerated her breathing into the water; it must be acknowledged that Asada Sakura's lung capacity is truly impressive.

After observing Yuujin Ito's satisfied reaction, Chinatsu Mori stood up and checked the time.

After clearing away the dishes and utensils on the table, I bid farewell to Yuuhito Ito.

As she left, the look she gave Asada Sakura was quite intriguing.

......

Walking down the street, there were hardly any people around because of the remote location where Yujin Ito lived.

As she moved between the streetlights, Chinatsu Morigami constantly shifted between light and darkness, her figure stretching and shrinking at the boundary between the two.

Her face was very cold at this moment, and there was no emotion in her eyes.

After sharing the information about Yuujin Ito that she had gathered today with Sae Nagano on her phone, she opened her notes app and started typing.

Sakura Asada:

1. The school uniform wasn't supplied by the school; it was custom-made (?).

2. Suspected cohabitation relationship with Yujin Ito

3. He and Yuujin Ito have some kind of partnership.

4. Strong reaction to Anna Takikawa

Yuhito Ito:

1. I work part-time year-round and am extremely short of money; it seems I have some major expenses.

2. There is more than one woman in the household.

3. They know Rin Iketani, but have no idea about Anna Takikawa, who is so popular.

4. Dislikes women (questionable)

After finishing the record, I passed by a trash can and casually tossed aside the handkerchief that I had used to wipe Asada Sakura's dirty hands.

"interesting."

Chapter 26 The Underworld Boss Transformation Plan

"Little Sakura Ri."

Asada Sakura, who was still blowing bubbles, felt goosebumps rise all over her body when she heard Ito Yuujin call her that.

That deliberately softened, coaxing tone sent chills down one's spine.

Even though he was smiling, a chill ran down her spine, and even the tips of her hair trembled slightly.

"W-what's wrong?"

Asada Sakura's voice trembled almost imperceptibly, and her body instinctively shrank back.

Even he himself was disgusted with himself. Ito Yuujin regained his normal tone, "Let me see how much you've grown."

As he spoke, he walked towards Asada Sakura.

As he approached, Asada Sakura visibly panicked.

Growth – what have I grown in two days?

I glanced down at myself and then remembered the comments on the video.
