They all have hidden attributes!

She glanced back at Maya Uesugi before walking out of the gym with Makoto Takahashi and taking the elevator to the coffee shop on the first floor of the hotel.

The two sat side by side on a double sofa by the window. Makoto Takahashi only ordered black tea and chocolate cake. As for cream puffs, they could order them when Maya Uesugi arrived.

—After her morning exercise, she will definitely go back to her suite to take a shower.

The coffee shop also offers light meals, but Tachimi only ordered a sandwich.

After the waiter brought over black tea and food, Makoto Takahashi poured her another cup: "Have you finished with the cultural festival?"

"Not yet. According to the academy, they plan to take advantage of your popularity and hold a tour during the cultural festival."

Tachikami Yuki gracefully picked up her black tea and gently blew on it to cool it down: "Makoto-kun, you're quite famous now. I've heard that many people know we're dating, but still want to confess their feelings to you."

The aroma of black tea and my girlfriend's scent wafted into my nostrils. The bright, yet gentle, morning sunlight streamed through the French windows, casting a warm glow on my skin. It was truly a beautiful morning.

"So I decided to wear a mask when I go out from now on, but I forgot today."

Makoto Takahashi put his arm around her slender waist, leaned back against the soft sofa back, and asked curiously, "What do you mean by 'visit'?"

"We've organized a visit for students who want to apply to Tsurumizawa next March. Thanks to you, the college isn't worried about losing students due to the declining birth rate at all."

"Would anyone really apply to Tsurumizawa because of my grades? It's hard to say based on grades alone."

"It is difficult, but it's perfectly normal to apply to academy because of someone you admire."

Yuki Tatsumi took a sip of black tea, picked up a sandwich and took a small bite: "I chose to come to Tsurumizawa because I was inspired by NGParty in the past."

“That makes sense.” Makoto Takahashi nodded and told her about the band’s decision to stop activities, focusing, of course, on Hanakawa Kaori.

After Tachikami finished his sandwich, he pulled out two tissues and handed them to him: "Could the student council arrange for Hanori to audit my class? She's already been accepted in advance anyway."

"You can just talk to the chairman yourself. The student council doesn't have that authority."

Yuki took the tissue, gently wiped her mouth, and picked up a spoon to eat the chocolate cake: "Even without me and Saya, the chairman will respect your opinion. Makoto-kun, you have to get used to this kind of thing."

"What exactly do you mean?" Takahashi Makoto asked.

"They respect you because they're afraid of you. They're afraid you'll transfer to another college, so they'll respect your opinion. I hope you can learn to use your position wisely," Tachimi Yuki said slowly in a sweet voice.

As always, among all the options, she would prioritize helping Makoto Takahashi become even better.

This, along with wasting time, money, and energy, making long-term commitments, expressing clear and direct feelings without guesswork, and protecting and caring, are all ways for a rich girl to express her love.

"Okay, I'll go see the chairman when I get back to Tokyo."

As soon as Makoto Takahashi finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Maya Uesugi and Hina Nekoya walking into the coffee shop one after the other.

The former changed into a ladylike light green summer dress, her long, soft black hair hanging straight down.

The latter, as usual, was dressed in a neat and stylish T-shirt and trousers, with her chestnut hair tied in a high ponytail, waving her left hand, which was wearing a wristband, to greet him.

"Good morning, Acheng."

"Good morning." Takahashi Makoto turned his gaze away from Nekoya Hina and looked up at Uesugi Maya, who was standing in front of him, giving him a cold glance.

The two locked eyes, and after a two-second reaction, he stood up and offered the sofa: "Please sit down."

Maya Uesugi didn't mind sitting on the sofa that Makoto Takahashi had sat on, but because of her troublesome obsessive-compulsive disorder, she could only tolerate sitting next to Yuki Tachimi.

Makoto Takahashi and Hina Nekoya sat across from them at the table, while Miyuki Mitachi and Maya Uesugi disliked each other and moved away from one another, which was strangely amusing.

After waving to the waiter to bring over the cream puffs, he coughed lightly and turned to look at Hina Nekoya's profile: "What is it that you had to come all the way to Chiba to say in person?"

The two communicated on Line every day, but Nekoya Hina never mentioned that she was coming to Chiba today. Instead, she told Uesugi Maya and asked her to pass on the message.

"Oh, you know, Cheng found out that he has to leave the club in the third year after the cultural festival, right?"

Nekoya Hina raised her hand and scratched her head sheepishly, saying with an embarrassed smile, "Although I felt a bit of pressure before the National Tournament, my seniors trust me and want me to be the next captain of the badminton club."

Makoto Takahashi gazed at her smiling face and her chestnut hair, glossy in the sunlight, and nodded, asking, "So?"

"So, I want to quit the light music club. How should I put it? I want to focus my energy on the badminton club. Besides showing my determination, I also feel a little embarrassed to take away the band's profits for nothing."

I felt embarrassed to share the money, I didn't want to let down my seniors and teammates, and I wanted to devote all my time and energy to badminton—these are all perfectly normal reasons.

Makoto Takahashi patted her on the shoulder, frowning in confusion: "Is it really necessary to come all the way to Chiba for something like this?"

Nekoya Hina's gaze swept subtly over Tachimi Yuki, who was quietly drinking tea, before she stood up and said:

"I think it's better to tell you in person. Also, I want to ask Reiko and Hanaori if they want to come back to the badminton club to help me. I've never been to Chiba before, so it would be good to play with them."

She had originally planned to stroll around Chiba with Makoto Takahashi, but unexpectedly, Yuki Tachimi had time. Since he was her official girlfriend, she had no choice but to back down.

"In that case, Hanaori should not be up yet."

Makoto Takahashi stared into Hina Nekoya's eyes, took out a room key from his pocket and handed it to her: "Stay for one night, and we'll go back to Tokyo together tomorrow."

Chapter 121 The End of Summer Vacation

After Nekoya Hina left, three people remained in the coffee shop.

Yuki Tachibana rose with her teacup in hand and sat down next to Makoto Takahashi, her beautiful legs, encased in white stockings, crossed over each other as she sipped her black tea.

Under the bright sunlight, the orange-red liquid was as vivid as amber, and the shimmering golden shoulder-length hair set off the young lady's fair profile, making her dazzling.

Setting down his teacup, Tachibana Yuki ate the last bite of chocolate cake, then turned to Takahashi Makoto with a cheerful smile.

"Cheng-kun, isn't it about time we headed out on our date?"

"it is good."

Just as Takahashi Makoto was about to stand up, Uesugi Maya suddenly spoke, turning the originally relaxed atmosphere into one of extreme unease.

"I'll go with you."

She spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, her caramel-colored eyes casting a threatening glance: "Makoto, you shouldn't be stupid enough to refuse me."

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Yuki put on a suspicious expression, smilingly staring at Takahashi Makoto, waiting for his answer.

Her boyfriend had clearly been caught red-handed by her foolish sister, yet he was still arguing with her.

What should I do?

These two people must be strictly controlled.

Their gazes pierced him simultaneously, and Takahashi Makoto swallowed a mouthful of red tea, not daring to utter a single word.

He thought to himself, "I should just be honest with Tachimi Yuki as soon as possible."

"It's okay, I don't dislike being with Xiaoye."

Tachibana Yuki turned to Uesugi Maya with a friendly look, placed her hand on Takahashi Makoto's thigh, and pinched it hard: "However, as punishment, Makoto-kun won't get anything today."

The angel was so kind; I never imagined she could survive so easily.

Makoto Takahashi lacks experience in dealing with chaotic situations, so he has no other wish than to survive and hopes that today's three-person date can pass peacefully.

“I’ve planned the trip, and I have two routes.”

Maya Uesugi took out her phone and sent the route map to Makoto Takahashi: "Go to Inage Beach in the morning. Start by cycling to the seaside park. There are white sand beaches and a boardwalk that extends into the sea. I will take pictures."

It doesn't sound like she intentionally wanted to be a third wheel, but how could Miss Ritsumi not find a photographer?

Therefore, Uesugi Maya is still the bad cat who ruins their date.

“Cycling north along the coastline offers beautiful scenery. We can have lunch in downtown Chiba, visit the Chiba Art Museum in the afternoon, and go to Chiba Port Tower in the evening. This won’t interfere with the evening performance at all.”

Judging from the route map he received, Makoto Takahashi believed that this short trip was very reasonable.

It's a relaxing experience without the hassle of running around, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the charm of Chiba City. The lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner options are also quite unique.

"When did you prepare the travel guide?" he asked curiously.

"While I was wearing a face mask last night."

Maya Uesugi used a fork to pick up a cream puff and put it in her mouth. She turned her face away to look at the sea outside the window and unconsciously brushed the ends of her black hair that were hanging down her shoulder.

She had no intention of refusing when Makoto Takahashi invited her on a date yesterday.

"I don't want to ride a bicycle. Saya probably prepared more than just this route," Tachimi Yuki said casually, tapping her phone screen with her finger.

Makoto Takahashi glanced at her; she was contacting Reiko Kashima.

“I plan to recommend the other route to the other members of the band. Shiraishi has very poor stamina and can’t ride a bicycle,” said Maya Uesugi.

"Shall we depart now?" Takahashi Makoto asked.

"Wait a little longer, Xiaoye hasn't finished her cream puffs yet." Tachimi Yuki put away her phone, a sly glint in her beautiful blue eyes.

Would she really be so kind?

Maya Uesugi frowned, her gaze falling on the signature cream puffs on the table, recalling her long history of never getting the better of Yuki Tachimi.

Just as she popped the last cream puff into her mouth, Kashima Reiko pushed open the door to the coffee shop and walked straight toward the three of them.

Seeing the expressionless maid, Makoto Takahashi instantly understood the young lady's thoughts and lowered his voice to ask Yuki Tachimi, "Isn't Reiko on vacation?"

"We're friends too."

Yuki Tachimi put down her teacup, stood up, and straightened her skirt: "Alright, Makoto-kun, we can go on our date now."

"Wouldn't it be better to bring Maya along?" Takahashi Makoto asked nervously.

"Bands are best suited for group activities."

Kashima Reiko voiced her objection, speaking sincerely to Uesugi Maya: "Our friendship needs to be maintained, and besides, you're not familiar with them yet."

"Tsk." Uesugi Maya clicked her tongue impatiently.

"Friendship? Xiaoye and Lengzi have known each other for so long, and this is the first time they've had a friendship."

Upon hearing the unexpected words, Tachibana Yuki narrowed her eyes and stared at the two of them: "But anyway, I'm relieved that Reiko hasn't been ostracized."

As she spoke, she patted her chest in relief.

"I will explain this matter in detail."

Kashima Reiko looked at Tachimi Yuki with an honest gaze, her blue eyes showing no trace of guilt.

"Okay~ then we'll be going now."

With that, Tachibana Yuki took Takahashi Makoto's hand and led him out of the coffee shop: "Yo, thank you for the travel guide."

"Tch." Uesugi Maya let out a disdainful sound as she watched the two walk away.

In the end, she only threatened him and never actually intended to tell Tachimi Yuki.
