Tokyo: Idol Girls have absolutely no bad intentions!

But apart from that, it had at least kept Asada company through so many nights. He shook his head, thinking about how fickle girls were.

"Next..."

"Gurgle~" is the sound coming from the belly of a little guy.

Asada blushed and pointed to the guitar in her arms, as if to say that it was the other person's fault.

Because she brought home too many tofu skin rice balls last time, and also consumed a lot of food at the cooking club, Asada was forbidden from bringing food home.

It's certainly time to go out for a meal now, but the question is whether to go home or just eat out on the street.

Having just spent a large sum of money, Ito had absolutely no interest in spending more. If Shimokitazawa Station weren't so far from his home, he would have walked back.

"Here you go." A soft voice rang out, and a snow-white rice ball covered with plastic wrap appeared in front of her. "The cooking department secretly hid it."

Chapter 95 Conditions that Violate Principles

The day after I bought the piano, I was woken up by my phone ringing. The phone was vibrating under my pillow and showed no signs of stopping.

Mori: "You haven't contacted me for so long, and the first thing you do is ask for help? What's going on? I told you to ask for it in person, and you actually did? Senior, when did you become so obedient?"

Mori: "You'd better never contact me again. You never send me more than three messages in a row. I would have replied on the fourth one."

Mori: "Senior, if you continue with this attitude next time, never come to me again unless you give me a three-day notice, willingly go on a date with me, and make me happy. Only then will I be willing to help you."

Mori: "Okay, I'll do as I say next time. I'm sorry to trouble you to accommodate me, senpai."

These were the words Mori had said last night. Ito glanced at them briefly, then went to sleep without replying.

This led to the tragedy this morning...

Mori: "Senior, what are you doing? Why aren't you replying to my messages? Did I go too far? Actually, you don't need to apply in advance. I'll set aside time if you just tell me."

Mori: "Are you awake, senpai? This morning, Chinatsu had an egg sandwich with milk, and they even put green peppers in the sandwich! (Ugh!)"

Then came comments like, "My senior is paying attention to me!!!" and "Is he losing patience with me because we can't meet?"

Replying would be troublesome, but not replying wouldn't be polite either. Ito walked out of the room and looked at Asada, who was already dressed in her uniform. "Is there any way to shut people up?"

Asada paused, adjusting her ribbon. "W-Are you asking me?"

He was desperate and grasping at straws, after all, it's not easy for Asada to have friends.

"Okay, wrong person." Ito went into the bathroom, muted the message first, and would deal with it later when he thought of a solution.

The two arrived at school together. Takikawa had something to do that day, so she took the day off.

As far as Ito knows, she stayed up too late with Hayakawa Miki yesterday, and then asked Hayakawa to help her ask for leave.

There's absolutely nothing about her that makes her look like a celebrity. If her manager finds out...

It seems we have some material that can be used as leverage, but I'm not sure, so I'll observe further.

Asada practiced the piano all night last night, and it was clear that he was very satisfied with his Yamaha 611. Hopefully, this enthusiasm can last a little longer.

"Ito!"

He ran into the classroom from outside, bumping into a classmate on the way. Fujikawa Kaze ran over with a look of horror on his face.

"You, you, what have you done?!"

After saying that, he grabbed the milk from Ito's table and started drinking it by himself.

"If you're looking for breakfast, go to the convenience store; they have a wide variety."

"I don't have time to waste with you. Didn't I ask you to contact Nagano yesterday? The student council's attitude today is like I've seen a ghost."

Ito raised an eyebrow. Yes, that was true. He hadn't gone to settle accounts with Fujikawa yet, but Fujikawa himself had come over.

"First, this morning I was notified to collect the activity funds. The amount was increased on top of the original amount. Although it wasn't much, it was still quite surprising."

What? The money has increased? Ito perked up.

"That's not all. I was prepared for a long battle with those bastards, such as the project being blocked, the venue being closed, or me having to take leave, but they all agreed to everything I asked for."

Fujikawa Kaze finished the milk carton in his hand with a hissing sound, huddled up, and then slammed his hands on Ito's table.

"Ito, what exactly did you do?" He scrutinized the other person closely. "Could it be—you did something against your principles?"

"You're actually willing to sacrifice to this extent for the survival of the film club?" He patted Ito on the shoulder, closed his eyes tightly, and looked on with a mixture of anticipation and sorrow. "You still managed to have your fun, buddy."

The first half of the sentence was quite touching, but what did the second half mean? What did he get out of it, being forced to make tea and do an extra electronic report?

However, according to the other party, Nagano Sae did indeed help a lot, and we should find some time to properly thank her.

"Seriously, how did you manage to do that?"

"you mean?"

"Don't pretend you don't understand." Fujikawa looked at Ito. "If you're sure, you must stick to your choice without wavering."

"what do you want to say?"

Suddenly saying something that doesn't fit her persona, what's she trying to do?

"I already know."

"What do you know?"

"Regarding your rejection by a boy yesterday, I still hope you only like girls. Otherwise, I don't know how to get along with you. Miura and the others think the same way." Fujikawa said this in a serious tone.

"..."

"Alright, let's get down to business." Fujikawa left the cardboard box on Ito's desk. "Remember to bring the classmate who wrote the script to the club activity today. I really want to see him in the summer."

He was certain that Xia Rikui didn't intend to kill the other person. He had heard from Miura that the other person was about to turn into a vengeful ghost while revising the script and drawing storyboards.

Fujikawa left, leaving behind the garbage he drank. What a bastard, so annoying.

It was noon. Ito closed the book he had casually taken out during the first class and got up to go to the next classroom.

On one hand, we needed to find Yoshida Nai, the person who proposed the stage play project; on the other hand, we needed to ask Asada.

How will she manage her lunch?

After leaving Mori, he resumed his routine of eating bread or konjac jelly for lunch, while Asada continued to have lunch with Takikawa.

The lunchboxes I bought before are still in the apartment, but I've never used them.

As he stepped out of the classroom, he bumped into a figure. The familiar scent made Ito realize who this person was.

Before he could even steady himself, he heard a soft "ah".

"Asada?"

"Ah, I-Ito." She hurriedly put on her black-rimmed glasses, which had been knocked askew, the reflection on the lenses shimmering in the sunlight of the corridor.

"Takikawa isn't here today, so I was just about to go find you."

"I...I know." Asada nodded.

Takikawa must have talked to her about it beforehand, so at least he's reliable on that point.

"Then who are you looking for?"

"I was looking for you." She gripped her uniform sleeve, then suddenly looked up, her glasses sliding down another half inch. "Let's go have lunch together."

I guess she went to eat bread from the convenience store, since her salary is still with me, and I should pay for her lunch.

Ito first went to Class 3(C) and told Yoshida Nai, who was about to have lunch with her friends, that she was going to the film club, and then followed Asada.

Neither of them spoke the rest of the way, until Ito realized that this was not the way to the convenience store.

Chapter 96 Club Bonus Version

It's started! Precious club time! Yoshida Nai is already waiting for Ito at the classroom door.

Lunch was supposed to be a meal, but it was more accurate to say that we were freeloading, as if Takikawa was putting too much pressure on Shinno.

This led him to prepare three bento boxes every day, each one a different kind, for Takikawa to choose from.

Because Takikawa is taking the day off today, there will be an extra bento box, and Takikawa specifically instructed Asada to give it to Ito to handle.

I really don't want to waste a single thing.

According to Shinno's complaints, Takikawa not only refuses to pay, but also complains about the food after thanking him.

Asada deserves praise for this; although she doesn't pay, she doesn't complain and only leaves the dishes she doesn't like.

According to Asada, this is a diet exercise done to lose weight, to shut someone up from their damn mouth.

"You need to be mentally prepared," Ito said to Yoshida Nai beside him.

With her tall stature and eye-catching nail stickers, Yoshida Nai exudes the sunny aura of a social butterfly.

I hope I can maintain this mindset when I see Xia Rikui later.

"Why are you suddenly saying something like that?" Yoshida Nai's mouth gaped slightly. "We were just discussing stage plays, weren't we?"

Ito shook his head. This guy was oversimplifying things; that's the kind of single-celled thinking that's typical of active individuals.

"Is there R18 content hidden in the film club? After all, it's a film club, and it's mainly for boys."

The other person shook their head, and it felt as if their already small brain was shaking wildly inside, mixed with yellow waste.

There is no need to worry about this.

Summer Aoi will handle the R18 content; Ito means she will buy it, and Fujikawa will be responsible for its destruction.

Previously, Fujikawa was punished by the student council for not promptly disposing of the unsightly items that Summer Sunflower had hidden in the activity room. He was forced to write a 1-word apology and participate in a three-day charity event.

Ito vividly remembers the state of Fujikawa's body at that time.

"So tell me what will happen? Why do we need to be prepared?"

"You'll find out soon enough." Ito looked at the other person with pity in his eyes.

He placed his hand on the doorknob and pushed open the door to the activity room.

Finally, there was something to do, and it was quite significant, so the film club was all present.

Miura was wiping down the equipment, while Takahashi was looking at a romance comic. The comic featured a two-dimensional anime girl, Eiri, being held in Natsumi's arms, and Fujikawa was standing to the side, his left hand supporting his head.

It must have been angered by the summer sunflower.
