Tokyo: Idol Girls have absolutely no bad intentions!

"sorry."

Although he felt it was an undeserved disaster, doing this would avoid a lot of trouble, and he was too lazy to explain, mainly because explaining wouldn't make a difference.

This world is full of malice for a sincere person like him.

Let's skip the topic for now and wait for Ikeya Rin to finish reading; the script isn't very long.

After waiting a while, Iketani Rin closed it, nodded, and the stray hairs by her ears swayed.

"Scumbag."

These two words clearly reached everyone's ears, and the originally noisy environment became completely silent.

"Deceiving feelings".

The script had a profound impact on her; it's not easy for her to spontaneously utter a couple of sentences.

Rin Iketani turned her head, her deep blue eyes fixed on Ito, like a deep sea, seemingly calm yet containing turbulent currents.

"It suits you very well."

"Pfft."

Summer Sunflower couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Takikawa also suppressed the smile on his lips.

Thank you so much for your compliment.

After briefly confirming that the role the other party was to play was a shrine maiden, I explained some precautions and related professional knowledge to her.

Ito had reservations about whether shrine maidens could also have blue mullet tails.

Wouldn't this be condemned as heresy and then burned at the stake?

Besides black and red hair, shrine maidens actually have other styles? That's rather unusual.

Rin Iketani nodded obediently, like a doll being manipulated, agreeing to whatever Aoi said.

"As an actor, one must have the spirit of dedication to art," Xia Rikui said, spouting nonsense.

“Yes.” Rin Iketani nodded; she did indeed have that impression.

"So physical contact with male actors is inevitable." She seemed to be giving a heads-up, "If any unforeseen accidents happen, don't resist~ I'll be very gentle."

A suggestive image flashed through Ito's mind, and he quickly banished the image of his teacher from his thoughts.

This is a proper stage play!

It will not become a tool for summer sunflowers to satisfy personal quirks.

should......

“Okay.” Rin Iketani didn’t see anything wrong with it.

Generally, one should first ask questions carefully, then consider them thoroughly before giving a proper answer.

If you agree immediately...

Looking at Natsumi's smug expression, Ito suddenly felt that something terrible would happen at next week's rehearsal.

Terrible in every sense of the word.

"What about Asada?" As if harming one person wasn't enough, Natsumi found her next target. "Would you mind having close contact with a male actor?"

When asked the question, Asada was taken aback at first, then blushed and glanced at Ito before nodding gently.

The level of generosity was somewhat beyond Xia Rikui's expectations, and she glanced intriguingly between the two.

“I don’t mind either,” Mori jumped in, “It’s just with Ito-senpai anyway.”

The meaning of these words couldn't be clearer.

"Looks like Ito is quite popular." Xia Rikui couldn't hide her smile, her eyes curving into sly crescents as she scratched the can with her fingertips.

"It's truly enviable." Fujikawa stood beside Ito, his envy beyond measure.

If you were in my shoes, you wouldn't say such a thing.

Ito turned around. He really wanted to say those words to Fujikawa, but... considering who Fujikawa's girlfriend was, he couldn't bring himself to say them.

If he were to switch places with Fujikawa, he would still be in dire straits.

The school bell rang outside the activity room, its resounding hum shattering the afternoon. Ito subconsciously raised his hand to look out the window, his school uniform sleeve slipping down to reveal his silver bracelet.

Unbeknownst to him, Takikawa and Mori simultaneously narrowed their eyes as they stared at the bracelet.

"Goodbye, let's talk on the phone if you need anything." Ito suddenly stood up and prepared to walk towards the door.

"Be careful on your way, senior, and please check your messages~" Mori suddenly reminded him, "But rest is also important, since you don't even have time to check your messages."

Although it wasn't stated directly, Ito sensed the resentment in his tone.

"By the way, Asada-senpai, could you teach me how to make that lunch bento? It looks delicious, and I think someone will like it." Mori suddenly approached Asada.

"Ah, that?" Asada didn't know how to answer, since she hadn't made the bento box, and the one she bought wasn't right either.

If we say it was taken from Xinye, it will cause misunderstandings.

"It was made by Asada herself. Does Chinat want to learn how to make it?" Takikawa interjected, trying to smooth things over for Asada.

Ito slowed down, wanting to know how things would develop.

After all, Mori's intentions were quite clear.

"Yes, because I saw Asada-senpai and her boyfriend enjoying their meal, and I wanted to do it for the person I like too." Mori spoke very directly.

The atmosphere in the activity room became strange, and even Xia Rikui, who usually liked to stir up trouble, kept quiet for once.

Mori was gambling that Asada would clarify his relationship with Ito.

"Are you free later? Come to my house, I'll teach you."

"Huh?" Ito turned around and looked at Asada in disbelief.

She was backlit, and the light was refracting through the mother-of-pearl cherry blossom headdress in her hair, making her usually shy face look like a different person.

My home? That means...!

Chapter 112 "Apartment Scandal Part 1"

"Asada." Ito paused at the door of the activity room and winked at Asada.

"Ito-senpai, are your eyes bothering you?" Mori asked with a smile.

Ito sensed the pressure from her tone.

"Is it possible for Ito to take on a part-time job?"

Asada seemed completely oblivious to the hint in Ito's eyes, her tone filled with worry.

"Yeah, I'm going to be late for my part-time job." Summer Sunflower suddenly became concerned, and she clearly had ulterior motives, wanting to get rid of him.

There's really no point in staying here any longer.

I thought I had developed a tacit understanding with Asada, but it turns out that her slow-wittedness still has the upper hand.

Even as he was leaving, he was still uneasy, his gaze lingering on the other person for a moment.

Hopefully nothing unexpected happens tonight.

......

Inside the convenience store, Ito handled the items handed to him by customers, maintaining his consistent professionalism.

It would be even better if the constantly lit phone screen could be turned off.

I'm still worried about what might happen between Asada and Mori in the apartment.

Although he had eaten with them at the apartment before, nothing unexpected happened at the time, or at least that's what he thought.

But things are completely different now. Now that Mori knows that the apartment is his home, it's hard to imagine what would happen if Asada took her back.

The fact that his cohabitation with Asada was exposed was a minor issue; Mori's reaction was the real problem.

There's a high probability they'll make sarcastic remarks about themselves and then do something irrational.

For example, fabricating non-existent facts, or worse, exercising the girlfriend's power to move in with her.

This idea sounds a bit unrealistic, but it's exactly what Morikami would do.

There's already Asada at home, and next door lives Takikawa who might come over and cause trouble at any time. It's hard to imagine how hellish life will be when I go home in the future. Just dealing with the relationship between them is dramatic enough.

The reason he could accept Asada was because she was his contract partner and had a well-behaved and sensible personality.

If she were even a little more outgoing or troublesome, Ito would have "exiled" her to keep the neighbor, Ms. Hayakawa, company long ago.

The phone screen remained on Miki Hayakawa's chat interface; even at a time like this, I still had to rely on her.

It really was a failure.

To actually place his hopes on Hayakawa... the very thought that came to mind is something he should seriously reflect on!

Apart from Hayakawa's lonely, meaningless 'ok' emoticon, there was no other message in the chat box.

Whether a person is alive or dead is unpredictable.

As for Takikawa? Her messages will only add fuel to the fire and create anxiety.

The screen was filled with comments such as "Someone is doomed," "Good luck to you," and "Have you prepared your last words?" which made Ito extremely anxious.

I shouldn't have eaten that bento box in Xinye at noon today. If it weren't for that bento box, this scene wouldn't have happened tonight.

Like Schrödinger's cat, he will never know the true situation until he goes home.

Anxious thoughts spread through his mind. He stared at the clock on the wall, and at exactly 20:00 PM, he took off his waiter uniform and called out to the manager who was hiding in the break room.

"I want to leave work!"

Given Ito's unusual behavior and his terrible expression, the store manager readily approved it.

Before leaving, he told Ito to contact him if he encountered any difficulties.

After hastily thanking the other party for their clearly misunderstood concern, Ito embarked on her journey home.

He jogged along, his mind racing.

In terms of time, it's only a ten-minute drive back to his apartment. By the time he gets there, everything that should and shouldn't have happened will probably have already been settled.
