“No, that’s not it,” Yu Gongtaku stepped forward and then explained, “Oomi said she wants to join our club and needs your permission.”

“I see,” Hengchuan Xinbei smiled. “If it’s Moriyama-kun, I’d certainly welcome him. After all, it’s a newly established club, and the more people there are, the stronger its foundation will be.”

"Furthermore, A-Tuo, you are the vice president. If anyone wants to join our club again, you can decide for yourself whether to agree. I trust your ability to judge people."

Hengchuan Xinbei agreed to let Moriyama Omi join the club, and at this point, Yu Gongtuo couldn't say anything more.

I just hope that Moriyama Omi can remain calm when helping people solve their requests, instead of letting her yandere side kick in and doing something incomprehensible.

"Taku, this way we can be together even when we're both very busy, which is really something to be happy about."

Moriyama Omi smiled radiantly, her joy barely concealed.

“Yes, being in the same club means we’ll have more time to spend together.” Takuya Hagiya said, sounding genuinely happy, though of course, his happiness was feigned.

Hengchuan Xinbei, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this scene.

"You two are really so affectionate. Can't you tone it down a bit in front of me, the club president?"

After saying that, he turned and walked to the table that had just been moved there.

"Then, let's begin our first club activity."

Chapter Ninety: The Club's First Guest (Seeking First Subscription)

Three days have passed since the establishment of the "Paid Assistance Society," but Hengchuan New Taipei, which was full of confidence at the beginning, has suffered a Waterloo in such a short period of time.

The sign offering paid assistance was clearly placed at the entrance of the club, but three whole days have passed and not a single person has come.

Yu Gongtaku didn't care. Anyway, Moriyama Omi's matter was already resolved, so it didn't matter whether he left early or not.

Fortunately, there were pre-prepared game consoles in the clubroom to pass the time; otherwise, Yu Gongtuo suspected that Hengchuan Xinbei might disband the club out of boredom.

That afternoon, Hanomiya Taku and Moriyama Omi arrived at the clubroom as promised. Tsunekawa Shinhoku and Sakiya Ando were playing a two-player racing game, and they were probably too engrossed in the game to notice the arrival of the two.

“It’s really strange,” Moriyama Omi put her schoolbag aside and sat down in a chair. “Even though I joined a club, it feels like I’ve found a place to kill time after school.”

"Who told that guy to have such a crazy idea to start this club, and to drag me into it too?" Yu Gongtaku sat down next to Moriyama Omi and took out his homework from his bag.

“That’s true, but we’ll have more time to spend together now, won’t we?” Moriyama Omi looked very happy because joining the club meant she would have plenty of time to be with Hanomiya Taku, even after school.

As long as she can stay by Takumi Hagiya's side, Moriyama Omi doesn't think about anything else; this is her only motivation to live.

"Tuo, there were some things I didn't understand in today's math class. Could you teach me?"

Moriyama Omi took out her math textbook and laid out the content the teacher had taught that day in front of Hanomiya Taku.

She wasn't actually misunderstanding; she just wanted to communicate with Yu Gongtaku in this way. If he was engrossed in his homework, she wouldn't want to disturb him.

Having previewed the Future Diary, Takumi Hagiya was well aware of Omi Moriyama's thoughts, but in order to prevent her from noticing anything amiss, he could only patiently guide her.

Time passed little by little. Winter days are short, and it got dark in no time.

Soon, Yu Gongtaku and the others were going home, but just then, there was a knock on the classroom door.

Then, a boy pushed open the door and poked half his head out.

"I saw the sign outside. Excuse me... is this place where you can help people solve problems?"

Perhaps not expecting anyone to come to this club, Hagiya Taku, who was tutoring Moriyama Omi, was taken aback for a moment.

After realizing what he meant, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, our club helps people solve problems on the premise of receiving payment."

After saying that, he turned to look at Hengchuan Xinbei and Zuo Gong Ando, ​​who were unleashing their passion in the game.

"Hey, New Taipei, someone's here."

Hearing Yu Gongtaku's call, Hengchuan Xinbei remained unmoved, only replying, "Taku, this is a father-son game between me and Ando, ​​we can't take a break in the middle no matter what, you help hold the fort for now."

Hearing this, Yu Gongtuo rubbed his forehead in exasperation. He had been complaining about why no one was coming to the club earlier that day, but now things had changed.

However, Yu Gongtaku had never had any hope for Hengchuan Xinbei from the beginning, so he didn't say anything, but simply invited the boy in.

Soon, the boy sat down opposite Hagiya Taku and Moriyama Omi. He looked a little timid, probably because he was shy.

"Relax," Yu Gongtaku pushed the notebook on the table aside, "Can I tell you my class and name?"

"I am Takakura Izumi from Class A of Grade 3. I saw your club's notice board after school yesterday, so I came to check it out today."

"Third grade, Class A, and they're top students..."

Furukawa High School has a rule for class assignments: first-year and second-year students are randomly assigned to classes, while third-year students are assigned to classes based on their grades.

There are seven classes in total, ranked according to A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, with Class A having the best performance and Class G having the worst performance.

The students in Class A are mostly high-achieving students who can get into prestigious Japanese universities. They are usually very busy with their studies and often miss events such as school trips and sports festivals.

Therefore, when Yu Gongtaku learned that Takakura Izumi was actually a student in Class 3-A, he was quite surprised, because this was the first time he had ever met a true top student in the school.

His knowledge from his previous life gave him a natural advantage in learning, but even so, Yu Gongtuo did not believe that his grades at the same time could compare to those of the senior in front of him.

Although he wasn't particularly fond of studying, he always showed a great deal of respect when facing seniors with outstanding academic achievements.

"To prevent the negotiations from falling apart due to the price of the compensation, senior Takakura, I would like you to take a look at this before our conversation officially begins."

After speaking, Yu Gongtuo took out a piece of paper with a service diagram he had drawn himself. The fee was determined based on the time they would take to complete the task and the client's financial resources.

[Complete the goal within seven days, the price is 10000 yen]

The price is 7500 yen to complete the goal within five days.

The price is 5000 yen to complete the goal within 30 days.

[For each day exceeding 30 days, the fee will be reduced by 50 yen from the initial 5000 yen. The maximum duration of the commission will not exceed 90 days, meaning the fee cannot be less than 2000 yen.]

[Any additional costs incurred in achieving the goal will be borne by the client, except for special expenses such as transportation costs.]

If the goal is not achieved within the maximum deadline, no payment will be made, excluding any additional fees.

Whether or not to accept a commission is determined by the members of the organization. Clients cannot force us to do things for them by increasing our compensation. If the situation is serious, the police will be called.

The above is the club service diagram written by Yu Gongtaku, which basically includes every point of attention, especially the last sentence.

The organization's mission is to help people accomplish any goal they entrust, but whether or not to accept a commission is a decision made by the individuals themselves.

For example, if someone wants to get rich overnight, can Yu Gongtuo and his team make it happen? Of course they can, all it takes is for Hengchuan Xinbei or Zuo Gong Ando to move their fingers and speak.

But can they do that? Of course not. This is no longer a simple commission; it's a purposeful criminal act.

Moreover, helping a poor person turn into a wealthy person is unrealistic. If it were possible to handle such a request, then why bother going to school? Everyone would just ask for help.

Ultimately, Takumi Hagiya and his team are simply serving everyone, not helping everyone realize their dreams.

Chapter Ninety-One: The Top Student in the Third Year

"Well... the price isn't a problem, but can you really solve my problem?" After looking at the club's service map, Takakura Izumi couldn't help but raise his doubts.

He had been at the school for two years and had never heard of any club that could help people solve problems. Money wasn't the issue; the most important thing was their ability to get things done.

If they can't help him solve his problem, why should he waste his time here?

“I can assure you,” Yu Gongtuo made a swearing gesture, “but my assurance is useless. Whether we can help you solve the problem or not depends on our subsequent work performance.”

Just like how men often say "I will take responsibility for you" to women in order to achieve their goals. But words are useless; only actions matter.

"It's up to you. If you're willing to trust us, then we can discuss the details of the engagement. If you think we're just a new scam group, then you're free to get up and leave; I won't stop you."

Takakura Izumi was somewhat surprised that he had expressed his attitude in just two sentences. Is this really how guests should be received?

However, looking at Yu Gongtuo's serious eyes, he knew that this junior was not just talking; he was far more mature than he had imagined.

"I believe in you." In the end, Takakura Izumi made the decision.

"Let's talk about the scope of the commission. If it's too outrageous or involves legal issues, we won't accept it."

Soon, the two sides got down to business, and Takakura Izumi explained the purpose of his visit.

"Because of your excellent grades, you were isolated?" After hearing Takakura Izumi's story, Hagiya Taku couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

Gao Cangquan consistently ranked among the top students in his class, achieving first place in the class several times in monthly exams, and even ranking first in the grade twice. Two months ago, he also achieved the remarkable feat of ranking among the top fifty in the city's high school joint exam.

Furukawa High School may not be the most prestigious among all high schools in Japan, but it is certainly not bad either. The fact that Takakura Izumi was able to rank in the top 50 in the city is enough to prove how terrifying his learning ability is.

This is not an achievement that can be attained through hard work, but requires innate talent, what teachers call genius.

However... how did Izumi Takakura come to the conclusion that he was isolated because of his excellent grades?

He doesn't always get first place in the class, which means there are other students in the class with similar academic performance. So why is he the only one being isolated? There must be other reasons behind this.

"Could it be that you unintentionally rejected your classmate's kindness?" Yu Gongtuo asked. He knew of a situation where one could be isolated by rejecting everyone's kindness.

For example, Asuka Chika's status in the class, whether among the boys or the girls, is not very prominent, because she never accepts anyone's kindness and usually finishes a conversation in three sentences.

"Well... I don't think so. If someone in my class talks to me, I always respond politely. I don't really refuse their kindness."

Takakura Izumi directly refuted Hagiya Taku's point of view with a single sentence, stating that he believed he had not rejected his classmate's kindness, and that this was merely his own opinion.

"In that case, we'll have to ask someone in your class for information."

The simplest way to find out why Izumi Takakura was isolated is to talk to those who isolated him. Once you can find out the cause of the problem, the issue will be much easier to resolve.

"Please, everyone, I haven't had any friends since junior high school. I don't want to see that when I graduate next year, no one will even be willing to take a graduation photo with me."

Takakura Izumi clasped his hands together, his pleading expression making it hard to refuse.

"Don't worry, we will do our best to help you make friends," Yu Gongtuo assured. "In that case, the commission is officially established, and there is no need for any deposit or anything like that."

"You can come to the club every day between the end of the afternoon and dark to inquire about the progress of our assignments, and we will share the information with you as soon as possible."

"Thank you very much." Takakura Izumi stood up and bowed deeply to the two of them.

He then looked around at the classroom's furnishings: "However, your club has absolutely no atmosphere of service or classroom spirit; it's just a place to kill time..."

“I also want to complain about this, but unfortunately, it’s a done deal, and we can’t move these things out anymore.” Yu Gongtuo nodded in agreement.

"I think it's best not to put these things in a club room. If possible, we should move them out."

"We will be careful."

Afterwards, Hagiya Taku managed to persuade Takakura Izumi to leave, while Tsunekawa Shinhoku and Sōmiya Andō also completed their duel between father and son.

The winner was Zuo Gong Ando, ​​but Hengchuan Xinbei did not shout out that legendary nickname. After all, it would be no fun if the joke between brothers were taken seriously.

"Hey, the club's first guest is a third-year student? And the one who was in the top 50 in the city before."

Yumiya Taku explained the details of Takakura Izumi's request to the two of them. Tsunekawa Shinhoku seemed to know this person, so he appeared somewhat surprised.

"Is he upset because he's being isolated in class and wants us to help him make friends? This task isn't too difficult, but it's already late, so let's start the task tomorrow."
