They all have hidden attributes!

"Yin Cai, you're definitely the class leader, aren't you?"

Hanakawa Kaori's tone was casual. Nekoya Hina scratched her head in surprise, looking bewildered: "Really? I'm not interested. Being a leader sounds like a headache."

"There are all sorts of small groups among girls. I've already joined 22 group chats in Group C."

As she spoke, Hanakawa Kaori slowed her pace and walked beside Takahashi Makoto, taking out her phone from the pocket of her uniform's pleated skirt and looking down to check her messages:

"Only Hina can make friends with everyone, that's Hina's strength."

"I'll take that as a compliment," Hina Nekoya said with an embarrassed "hehe" laugh.

Hanakawa Kaori glanced up at Takahashi Makoto without leaving a trace, hesitated for a moment, and then reminded him, "It would be better if you personally led Group C and secured first place in the points rankings."

At this moment, Makoto Takahashi had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem and shook his head dismissively, saying, "It's too much trouble."

Upon arriving at the student council president's office, Kashima Reiko was not there. Tachimi Yuki was sitting alone on the sofa by the balcony, drinking black tea with an elegant demeanor.

On the black slab coffee table in front of her were four large lunch boxes, their clear wood grain giving them a high-end look.

"Good afternoon, dear sister."

Hanakawa Kaori has a sweet tongue, and when she saw her peek out from behind Takahashi Makoto, Tachimi Yuki naturally showed a gentle smile.

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

She patted the sofa beside her and then turned her gentle gaze to Hanakawa Kaori and Nekoya Hina: "Please sit down, make yourself at home."

"Sorry to bother you."

When Nekoya Hina came to the student council president's office for the first time, she seemed a little reserved. In contrast, Hanakawa Kaori was completely unburdened by the presence of her "girlfriend" and appeared much more relaxed.

"Lengzi, aren't you going to have lunch with us?"

Makoto Takahashi sat down next to Yuki Tachimi, reached out and opened his lunchbox. Today's lunch consisted of grilled beef steak, basa fish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a vegetable salad.

"You're very busy today because of the sports festival project," said Tachimi Yuki with a smile, handing her chopsticks.

"Is Aya still not done with her work?"

Makoto Takahashi makes no secret of asking Maya Uesugi for help, including how the two address each other, and he will explain it frankly if Yuki Tatsumi asks.

Yuki Tachibana ignored the intimate terms of address, her deep blue eyes filled with a chilling sense of danger.

"No, didn't Cheng-kun promise to grant a wish? Reiko seems a little afraid that I'll be the leader of Class 2-A, so she wished to disband the Light Music Club."

"Huh?" Takahashi Makoto's face was blank.

"Brother, I already reminded you."

Hanakawa Kaori picked up a whole steak, took a big bite, and said as she ate, "The existence of a leader gives them a voice. As long as an individual fulfills the class's wishes, they can get the wishes you promised."

"Changing orders frequently is a major taboo, Makoto," Ritsuki said, blocking his escape route.

Third-year students also participate in the sports festival, and Shiraishi Jun is no fool; she certainly won't miss the chance to make a wish.

In Class 2A, as long as Tachimi Yuki is determined, Kashima Reiko will have a hard time competing with [Angel-sama] for the right to speak.

Both of them have the ability to fulfill the wishes of other students in the class, and they do so with ease.

Makoto Takahashi realized that he seemed to have dug a hole for himself.

Chapter 138 Small Ambition, Slow Growth

"Sukyu, do you have time to participate in the sports festival?"

After lunch, Makoto Takahashi and Yuki Tachimi went to the rest room where they were taking a nap, and Takahashi hugged her from behind as they lay down on the bed.

A glimpse of her snow-white neck through the gaps in her golden hair exuded a soft and delicate fragrance. Takahashi Makoto lowered his head to breathe, and Tachibana Yuki snuggled into his arms.

"Does Makoto want me to participate?" Tachimi Yuki asked lazily, his eyes closed.

She said she wouldn't refuse Makoto Takahashi's requests, but it wasn't always without a price.

Most of the time she's an angel, but occasionally she'll reveal a dangerous, devilish smile.

"If only it were always fun," Makoto Takahashi thought to himself.

He smoothed out the wrinkles in Tachibana Yuki's skirt, covering her soft thighs encased in white stockings, and said casually:

"I respect your opinion. Just don't force yourself to make time for it, and remember to get some rest."

The subtext, of course, is that they hope Tachibana Yuki won't participate in the sports festival, whether as a leader or a competitor; they should use that time to go on a date.

Of course, Makoto Takahashi does not deny that he said this because he was worried that if he got first place in Group A for two years, Yuki Tatsumi would make things difficult for him.

While it might not lead to the disbandment of the Light Music Club, it could very well trigger a new chaotic situation. He wasn't so deranged as to enjoy chaotic situations; the headache he felt was like having a durian in its shell stuffed in his head.

Should we participate?

Tachibana Yuki trailed off, her face growing increasingly red: "Hmm~ It depends on your performance."

The white shirt of the college uniform gradually wrinkled, the buttons on the chest seemed to be of poor quality, and the full breasts rose and fell with each breath, the buttons coming undone.

"You're so mean." She slapped Takahashi Makoto's hand hard.

......

On his first day back in Tsurumizawa, Makoto Takahashi inadvertently skipped class in the afternoon.

Fortunately, Supervisor Chihaya was understanding. After calling to find out that he was not feeling well, she only told him to rest well and ignored the sweet and hazy background noise.

At 3:20 p.m., the bell rang precisely to signal the end of the last class.

Twenty minutes later, the bell rang to end the short class meeting, signaling the start of club activities.

The cool breeze that rushed in through the window dispersed the moisture. Makoto Takahashi got out of bed, picked up the shirt hanging on the back of the chair, put his arm through the sleeves, and started buttoning it up one button at a time, beginning with the collar.

Behind him, Tachibana Yuki lay on her side on the bed covered with a thin blanket, her innocent face showing a sleepy expression, and her azure eyes filled with relaxation.

"Chengjun, I have some regretful news to tell you."

She brushed a strand of golden hair that clung to her face, a hopeful smile playing on her lips: "After all, the Sports Festival is a rare event, and I've decided to participate as both a contestant and a leader."

"I'll be looking forward to it." Makoto Takahashi turned around with a natural and polite smile.

"Mmm~ I'm very satisfied because Cheng-kun's performance was so great. Who told me to be such a greedy and bad woman?"

As he said this, Tachibana Yuki exuded a provocative aura unlike his usual self, and his languid tone seemed to be tempting him to stay.

"I'll go to the light music club first, and I'll come back to find you later." Takahashi Makoto straightened his collar, covering the bite marks on his neck, regardless of the atmosphere.

Her lack of romantic understanding caused a hint of gloom to appear between Tachibana Yuki's brows, but she quickly put on a sweet smile again.

"Makoto-kun, we made a promise to have a kyudo competition last time, how about we go now? If you win, I'll do whatever you say for the three days of the sports festival."

It's a very tempting offer; it eliminates the risks and allows you to invite Kashima Reiko to join you during the sports festival.

However, Makoto Takahashi would not agree to his girlfriend's sudden and obvious intentions toward the light music club, who had been gentle and considerate until now.

“It wouldn’t be fair to bully you now. Let’s go to the archery range tonight.” He leaned down and gently kissed Tachibana Yuki’s pink lips.

"I'll pick you up from the light music club later, and I'll bring you the new shoes with me."

Hearing her say that, Takahashi Makoto glanced at his shoes, puzzled.

Has Tatsumi Yuki's controlling nature become this strong?

They even question what shoes you wear.

These shoes were definitely bought yesterday, I don't know where... wait, could it be that I'm wearing matching pairs with Uesugi Maya today?

How does Maya Uesugi know which pair of shoes she should wear?

Although the two went to school together, she didn't go back to change her shoes after leaving home this morning, so it must just be a coincidence.

Makoto Takahashi kissed her intimately again, subtly expressing his feelings:

"Could you prepare a studio for me in your villa? I might be staying there for the rest of the month."

There won't be a next time.

Tachikawa gently rubbed his cheek with her fingers, closed her eyes, and said in a satisfied tone, "Please throw your socks in the trash can when you leave."

"Okay." Makoto Takahashi picked up the torn white stockings from the ground, put them in his pants pocket, and walked out of the lounge.

Upon arriving at the Light Music Club, the others were already gathered in the rehearsal room.

"I'm late."

Makoto Takahashi's gaze was fixed on a corner of the rehearsal room, where Maya Uesugi had her arms crossed, holding a thin sheet of music, her tall and slender body leaning against the wall.

His gaze followed the graceful silhouette downwards, past her slender waist, her beautiful legs encased in stockings, and finally landed on her black and white casual shoes.

It's definitely a matching set with my outfit.

Noticing Takahashi Makoto's gaze, Uesugi Maya raised her face, her caramel-colored eyes casting a teasing smile: "Got your girlfriend torment you?"

"Huh? Didn't you skip class this afternoon to go with Sister Xing?" Hanakawa Kaori asked curiously.

Junka Shiraishi and Reiko Kashima silently cast concerned glances at them.

"Fortunately, she is an angel, unlike some women with terrible personalities."

Makoto Takahashi opened the case, picked up the heavy electric bass, and sat down in his seat: "Let's get started practicing. I'm quite busy today."

"Heh." Uesugi Maya let out a cold laugh that was hard to decipher, put down the sheet music, picked up her guitar and hugged it to her chest.

Kashima Reiko and Takahashi Makoto exchanged a glance, then struck their drumsticks together, producing a rhythmic muffled sound before starting the prelude.

Guitar, bass, and keyboard simultaneously played a restless melody, while Hanakawa Kaori's vocals assaulted the eardrums.

"Is the lingering heartbeat still filling this night?"

"To envelop us before we are pulverized?"

......

When the rehearsal ended, it wasn't completely dark yet, and the clear autumn night air took on a deep blue hue.

Makoto Takahashi hummed a noisy, youthful song as he went downstairs alone. In front of the building, a familiar black sedan lit up with two beams of white headlights.

He opened the car door, climbed into the back seat, and raised his chin in a gesture of respect, holding his head with one hand.

"Why wooden clogs?" Makoto Takahashi closed the car door, took off his shoes, and stepped into the sturdy wooden clogs.

"You should wear a kimono tonight."
