Tokyo: Idol Girls have absolutely no bad intentions!

Ito could only see Morikami Chinatsu's violet pupils light up, and when she looked at him, there was a hint of cunning in them.

"Are you sure?" Mori's voice rang out.

“That’s right.” Yoshida Nachin nodded seriously. “If you can invest, junior, I can meet all the conditions I just mentioned.”

"it is good."

Morishi readily agreed. She took out her purse, and a few large bills had yellow corners peeking out from the edges. They must have been lucky charms given to her by Uncle Kitajima.

Yoshida Nai's face showed joy, while Ito was somewhat curious about what had just been said.

Mori took out ten 10,000 yen bills from his purse and handed them to Yoshida Nai.

Yoshida Nai solemnly accepted it, her breathing suddenly quickened, and she and Ito swallowed at the same time.

Carrying so much money with them, from their perspective, their wallets are still quite full.

With just three sentences, I got a woman to spend 100,000 yen on me.

Ito really wants to learn.

“If it can help you, senior, then spending some money is only right.” Moriue seemed to have sensed Ito’s thoughts and said with a smile.

To be honest, at that moment, Ito felt that Morikami Chinatsu was radiating a soft light and was extremely beautiful.

Yoshida carefully put away the 100,000 yen, turning it in a different direction to avoid Ito's view, showing her full of wariness towards him.

"Alright." Yoshida Nai clapped her hands. "Now, let's ask our director, Ito Yuujin, to make the next arrangements."

I still think it's very unreliable.

"Ahem." Ito cleared his throat. "100,000 yen seems like a lot, but it's just a drop in the ocean when it comes to producing a stage play."

"There are many other things that require money, such as clothing, lighting, and staff salaries."

Ito's gaze swept over the largest shareholder, Morikami Chinatsu, as well as the project initiator and 'screenwriter', Yoshida Nai.

Yoshida Nai fiddled with her fingers, seemingly calculating the approximate amount needed, her expression growing increasingly grim.

"We can borrow the equipment from the Fujikawa Film Club, and the same goes for the staff. They may be less skilled, but they are cheaper. We can ask them to film under the guise of a club activity, and at most we will pay for some meals. This way we can save a lot of money."

Yoshida Naka and Morikami Chinatsu looked up at him.

"Senior, you're such a bad person."

"Ito, I didn't expect you to be so capable."

Chapter 69 Maid Summoning Technique

They expressed their sincere praise for Ito's plan, but used the wrong words, which might cause some people to misunderstand.

"As for the venue, we can apply to the school for use on Saturdays and Sundays. Since the performers are all students, they should agree. We can also use this opportunity to apply for activity funds from the student union, but this step is quite difficult."

Ito pondered carefully about the source of funds; if everything was kept simple, the funds would be barely enough.

The cost of putting on a stage play can be roughly divided into four categories: actor fees, production costs, preparation costs, and theater rental fees.

Promotion and advertising can be done by posting promotional information on social media and distributing flyers in high-traffic areas, without requiring much expense.

As for costumes and props, Ito did not want to skimp on them; in fact, he wanted to invest most of the budget in them to differentiate them from the students' self-entertaining stage plays, which was a crucial point.

Other problems are minor and can be solved with some effort, but for actors...

Asada has to participate; it's a chance for her to learn. But what about the others?

Ito stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Seeing him like this, Mori and Yoshida quietly ate their fries, which gradually disappeared.

By the time Ito came to his senses, the plate was empty. After a brief moment of surprise, he spoke to Yoshida Nai, who was drinking white peach sparkling water:

"What's the story behind the script you mentioned at the beginning? What's its connection to the girl I know? Do you have a rough outline of the script that you could give me?"

"Yes." Yoshida Nai, with a straw in her mouth, handed her phone to Ito.

The story outline she mentioned was really just an outline, written in a memo, only a few hundred words long, and the story felt somewhat strangely familiar.

"Senior Yoshida, isn't this just plagiarism of 'Edo Yokai Journey'?" Mori asked, leaning close to Yuujin Ito and covering her mouth in surprise.

Ito also agreed with Mori's point of view; the plots seemed very similar, but...

He looked at Yoshida Nai and suddenly understood what she was thinking.

Not only do they want to ride on Anna Takikawa's popularity, but they also want to capitalize on Yoshida-sensei's "Edo Yokai Tour".

This can be subtly used as a selling point in promotions, and promotional videos can be creatively edited and then presented as a tribute.

As expected of a seasoned yuri literature enthusiast, you really know your stuff.

He cast an admiring glance at Yoshida Nai.

"Don't look at me with those disgusting eyes."

"The senior's gaze is so nasty."

Mori and Yoshida expressed their opinions at the same time, but their praise was labeled as disgusting.

Yoshida finished her sparkling water and then answered Mori's question.

"If one anime is about time travel, and another anime is also about time travel, does that count as plagiarism? Definitely not. I simply incorporated the time travel element from 'Edo Yokai Journey' and added character settings; the plot is just a coincidence. No, to be precise, the success of a genius always leaves a trace."

With just a few hundred words of story outline and a lot of overlapping elements, they can still be self-satisfied.

Yoshida Nai, you'll succeed at everything you do.

Without considering all that, Yoshida-sensei, the author of "Edo Yokai Journey," wouldn't personally go to their door to hold them accountable.

After all, they were just students who had only recently come of age. Given the master's magnanimity, he would probably just treat it as an amusing incident and let it go.

Both "Silver Soul" and "Parody of a Certain Family" are still alive and well. At worst, we can have that blond guy Fujikawa Kaze apologize to Yoshida-sensei.

He didn't care at all about mortgaging himself to Mr. Yoshida.

When will you be able to finish writing?

"I can do it before next Friday," Yoshida Nai replied confidently.

"Contact me when you're done writing." Ito nodded. "That's about it, time to head back."

He stood up and picked up the two old man figurines from the table. He waited for Mori to put on his white beret.

After they paid, Yoshida Nai was still sitting in the distance, her cup refilled with a drink.

"What?"

"You guys go back first, I'll stay here for a while."

Ito had a feeling that Yoshida Nai would freeload on the self-service drinks until the staff left work.

He shook his head to dismiss the thought, said goodbye to Yoshida Nai, and left the family restaurant.

"Where should we go now?" Mori seemed to be talking to himself, then turned to Ito, "Senpai, do you have any recommendations? Or any places you'd like to go?"

My advice is to go home.

He was holding a doll in his arms as he strolled through the streets of Shibuya with Mori.

"Isn't this developing too fast?" Mori asked softly. "I...I'm not ready yet."

They've started saying things that could be misunderstood again.

"I mean I'm going home alone." Ito hugged the doll tighter to his chest.

"No, please!" Mori suddenly grabbed Ito's arm. "I didn't refuse..."

The wind in Shibuya rustled through the branches as they crossed the crossroads, brushing past all sorts of pedestrians.

Suddenly, Ito caught a whiff of a rich milk powder aroma and stopped in his tracks. He looked at the shop and saw that it was a dessert shop.

He declined Mori's offer to pay for it and instead bought a mousse cake.

“If you like cakes, I can recommend a few good shops,” Mori said earnestly, though her eyes remained fixed on the cake box in Ito’s hand.

Because she needed to hold the cardboard box, the doll returned to Mori's arms, and as a result, Ito's hand was successfully freed from Mori's Chinatsu.

"Let's talk about it next time when we have time."

"Okay, I'll definitely make you even more satisfied next time."

They walked past a maid café with posters of maids hanging at the entrance.

Several enthusiastic maids stood at the door to attract customers and distribute flyers.

Seeing Ito take the flyer from a maid, Mori continued, "Even if it's a maid cafe, I'd be willing to go with you, senpai."

Ito frowned; hearing the words "maid café" brought back unpleasant memories.

To save time, he made enough curry for two people for two days last night, but Takigawa ate a whole day's worth in one sitting.

She probably wouldn't owe Mori-kami's class maid cafe money during the school festival, would she?

Although it's outrageous, it feels like something she's capable of doing.

I worked for the student council at the cultural festival and ended up owing a large sum of money.

It's hard to tell whether Nagano Sae is too stingy or Takikawa is too abstract.

However, logically speaking, he was also working hard for the student council during the cultural festival, making objective and truthful evaluations of every project.

Should Nagano Sae pay her own compensation?

The condition for receiving the remuneration was that he worked for the student union, but was not a member of the student union, and he met all of these conditions.

Therefore, Nagano Sae owes herself money.

Furthermore, Nagano Sae should pay her the fee, plus the interest on the wages owed for the past few days.

"Please take care, we look forward to your next visit, Master." A female voice came from behind, probably from the maid café.

"Okay, Ruby-chan, I'll come back in a few days." The person who spoke had a perverted air about them.

hiss!

That sounds familiar!

He and Mori exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes, and then turned around at the same time.
