Chapter 109 Study Group

“Something’s not right, Ito.” Shinno’s expression was stiff, and his voice was unnatural.

None of this was an accident; Ito should have noticed it long ago: the uniquely shaped food, Takikawa's sudden pickiness about food, and Shinno's increased talkativeness.

Everything points to one possibility: it seems he misunderstood Xinye.

He patted the other person's shoulder sympathetically and shook his head gently.

Sunlight fell on the back of his hand, highlighting his knuckles.

If it were to be exposed that someone wanted to pursue an artist under their own management, Shinno would likely face not only criticism from the agency but also overwhelming public pressure.

Moreover, judging from Takikawa's deliberate avoidance and even "dieting" behavior at noon today, the current situation clearly indicates that Shinno's son has suffered a complete defeat.

"Uh..." I suddenly feel like crying.

"You can ask Fujikawa about this; he's more experienced."

After all, that blond guy was able to win over Nagano Sae, that iceberg, so he might actually have some shady skills.

Ito even started to consider whether she should dye her hair the same blonde as Fujikawa and see how it looked.

The blond guy might actually be useful.

"Does he have experience?" Shinno and Fujikawa didn't have much interaction, but they knew each other.

In his mind, the other person was just an unreliable blond guy; what experience could he possibly have?

"Alright," Ito said, not wanting to say more, he stopped there, "I won't say anything more, think about it yourself."

After saying that, he took Asada away, thinking it was better to leave him alone to think things through at a time like this.

Takikawa didn't send him a text message, so there was no need to go to the convenience store again.

As for Mori...

The bright red "99+" unread message notification on the Line icon looked like a burning flame, so hot that Ito didn't even have the courage to click on it.

It was as if their encounter yesterday at noon was just a fleeting moment, and Mori and he once again became two parallel lines that never intersected at school.

As for why she was sealed away, Ito wouldn't ask unless the other party brought it up, and he would keep his distance from her.

After saying goodbye to Asada, he returned to the classroom, only to find that the 500 yen coin he had placed on Takikawa's desk had vanished.

It seems the other party has already had lunch.

"Gurgle~" An untimely and discordant sound rang out.

Takikawa, who was lying on the table with his face buried in his arms, pulled out one hand from under his head and gently pressed it on his flat stomach.

This scene was witnessed by Ito without missing a single detail.

So... what did she do with that 500 yen? Did she not buy any food?

Wait a minute, there are other reasons why your stomach might make strange noises besides hunger.

"Is your stomach upset?"

Takikawa didn't respond, but her stomach seemed to think its owner was being impolite, so it very "loyally" responded again on her behalf.

"Gurgle~"

Because he was paying special attention, Ito heard it exceptionally clearly this time.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of asking for help, he didn't bother to interfere further; this kind of weather was perfect for sleeping.

Therefore, he lay down on his desk, listening to the noise of his classmates around him, and gradually fell asleep.

Takikawa, however, was still waiting, waiting for Ito to continue asking questions or to say something.

Although my belly betrayed my embarrassing situation, deep down, there seemed to be a faint, inexplicable expectation.

What... there's no movement?

She quietly lifted her head slightly from her arms, revealing one eye to peek at the other person. His neat, black hair obscured her vision, and the sound of his even breathing reached her ears.

She's asleep!

Really.

A strange sense of annoyance welled up inside me.

She reached out her hand, but stopped just before it touched the soft flesh of Ito's waist, and withdrew it.

She should maintain an appropriate distance if the other person has a girlfriend.

After the breakup...

Hopefully, Asada can step up her game; from her observation, Chinatsu is indeed a tough opponent.

I wonder how the plan went this noon; Asada didn't give her any updates.

Tonight, we'll proceed with the next step of the plan! She refuses to believe that Ito can endure this indefinitely!

Unless... unless he really wants to have his cake and eat it too? The other party shouldn't be that despicable.

People who want to work in the entertainment industry, you better stay single!

hateful.

......

Today's film club activity involved the stage play cast members reading the script together, and Takikawa and Asada both greeted the cooking club.

As for Mori, Ito doesn't know the situation yet; he might have received a reply in the 99+ text messages.

To make a good impression on the beautiful girls that Ito had invited, Fujikawa mobilized the club members to reorganize the film club.

Even though Matsuzaka Haeda wasn't this serious when she came to inspect last time, it's hard not to suspect her true motives.

When Ito, Takikawa, and Asada walked into the classroom together, they didn't receive the enthusiastic welcome they had imagined.

The atmosphere felt a bit eerie.

They sat around the table, and Ito instantly understood what was going on when he saw the embarrassed Fujikawa and Shinno.

The beautiful girl, Shinno-chan, was warmly welcomed by Fujikawa.

"Don't think about strange things, Ito." Summer Sunflower scolded Ito, who clearly had a malicious expression, like an older sister. "It's just that our President Fujikawa is a little too enthusiastic."

She glanced meaningfully at Fujikawa, who looked like he wanted to disappear into the ground.

Just as Ito had predicted.

After he sat down next to Fujikawa, Fujikawa leaned close to Ito's ear and said through gritted teeth, "Why didn't you tell me you were a boy!"

"Didn't I say that?" Ito scratched his head in distress. "Sorry, I forgot."

He offered a half-hearted apology, then turned and greeted the people around him. Asada seemed a little reserved, while Takikawa was exceptionally familiar and polite.

They waited a while, then Fujikawa looked at Ito, "The last one, her?"

"Let's begin."

It seems Mori won't be coming.

"Bang." There was a knock on the door of the activity room, and Mori, with her hair in a bun, stood in the doorway carrying a paper bag.

"I'm sorry I'm late."

"It's okay, we haven't even started yet."

Mori bowed at the door and went inside. Fujikawa sat to Ito's right and Asada to his left.

"These are milk candies I made myself. I hope you won't mind them."

Mori took the candy out of the paper bag and distributed it to them around the table.

"Thank you." Yingyingli unwrapped the candy and popped it into her mouth.

"Five ants!" Eriri's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in a muffled voice.

"I'm glad you like it." Mori thanked her for the compliment, then said to Ito, "Sorry, I forgot to bring one."

on purpose.

Ito's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

Mori seemed unaware of Ito's actions. She sat down next to Asada and began to talk to her.

But it was mostly Mori who was talking, and Asada could only respond passively.

"Ahem!" Fujikawa cleared his throat forcefully, trying to draw everyone's attention back, while maintaining the dignity of a club president on his face.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's... begin today's script reading!"

Script reading sessions allow participants to share their perspectives on the characters, enabling actors to gain a better understanding and discuss areas for improvement in the script.

However, regarding the script, once Yoshida Nai and Natsumi Aoi finalized it, there will basically be no further changes.

"Since everyone agrees on the script, let's settle on this." Fujikawa scanned everyone. "Does anyone have any opinions on the dialogue?"

silence.

He looked to Ito for help.

"What do you think, Mori-gami?" Ito asked.

"I think it's pretty good, but I don't quite understand the relationship between my character and the male lead." Moriue frowned, her small face full of doubt.

“What’s so hard to understand? Of course they’re a legitimate couple,” Xia Rikui answered directly.

"So how should I react when that female monster appears?"

"First she was heartbroken, then she felt wronged, but because of her personality, she was determined to win this battle. It's a pity..." Xia Rikui shook her head, "The male lead is such a jerk."

The contradictions in the Chapter 110 study group

"Ah."

Everyone nodded in unison. They had all read the script and strongly agreed that the male lead was a scumbag.

Even the original author, Nao Yoshida, agrees with this view.

Although it was about the script, Ito felt offended, since it was the role he played, and he felt that Mori was subtly hinting at something.
