They all have hidden attributes!

"That's not important. Tell me quickly, what exactly is your relationship?"

"Friends, lifelong friends?" Makoto Takahashi replied uncertainly.

"Since we're friends, let's keep a friendly distance. What would it look like if we were together every day?"

Tachibana Yuki grabbed his arm and pressed herself against him, taking the opportunity to make a request:

“I have a manor in the port area. I’ll move here. It will be more convenient to meet with the people who are splitting up. We can also prepare a rehearsal room and a recording studio together. They can come directly to my house after school for club activities.”

Yuki Tachimi's reasoning was that the band was very well-known and needed a proper studio.

Tatsumi Yuki wanted to use this to hinder Uesugi Maya, but if the other party really chose to launch a night attack by any means necessary, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Aya, what's going on?" Takahashi Makoto put on a serious expression and scolded in a stern tone, while actually exchanging glances with Uesugi Maya.

You don't want me to move, do you?

[Tsk, what a terrible man]

I found a dessert shop in Chiyoda Ward that sells limited-edition caramel cream puffs.

[Now]

Uesugi Maya turned her face away, reluctantly pursing her lips: "I was just kidding, Tatsumi is taking it too seriously."

Hearing this, Tachimi Yuki, who was hiding in Takahashi Makoto's arms, gritted her teeth and said, "Ugh, Saya went too far."

"I apologize. I'm sorry."

Maya Uesugi stood up, picked up the cushion from under her buttocks, and strode towards Class 1-C with clean and crisp steps: "I won't disturb your lovey-dovey time. Good luck at the sports festival."

This was a tactical retreat. After she left, it would seem unreasonable for Tachibana Yuki to ask Takahashi Makoto to move in with her.

After all, Tachibana Yuki is the young lady and the future heir. It's one thing for her to be a little childish occasionally, but she can't bring herself to be unpleasant and relentless.

"Makoto, are you really just friends?" Tachikami Yuki raised his face and looked at him with a suspicious gaze.

Makoto Takahashi picked her up, placed her on his lap to watch the game, and took a sip of his red tea.

Thinking of Tachimi Kotoha's words, he hesitated for a moment, then tightened his embrace around Tachimi Yuki's waist, his face full of sincerity:

"To be honest, I admire Aye. She has a unique charm, but it's different from romantic feelings. It's more of a pure admiration. If she confessed to me now, I would definitely reject her without hesitation."

Without mentioning why it was "now" or asking "the reason for the refusal," this answer satisfied Tachimi Yuki, preventing her from worrying about the possibility of a [night raid].

The oppressive atmosphere vanished, and a warm breeze dispelled the gloomy mood.

Yuki Tachimi sat sideways on Makoto Takahashi's lap, and seeing Reiko Kashima win first place in the 4x100m relay, she gently kissed his cheek in a good mood:

"I'm willing to believe you."

A soft, delicate fragrance filled his nostrils. Takahashi Makoto stroked his soft, shoulder-length blonde hair with one hand and took out his phone with the other to send a message to the people from the Tachimi branch family.

[Chiyoda Ward, EveryLove, two boxes of limited edition cream puffs, one to be delivered to the student council president's office in Tsurumizawa, and the other to the light music club office. Ask me for reimbursement.]

After taking over the Tatsumi family affairs, Makoto Takahashi was finally able to bypass Yuki Tatsumi and order his subordinates to do things, since Kotoha Tatsumi's attitude was very clear.

After watching the game for a while, Kashima Reiko, dressed in sportswear, walked over expressionlessly, carrying a bag of washed fruit.

Despite complaining about the heat, Tachikami Yuki got up from Takahashi Makoto's lap, sat back in her chair, and gave her seat to Kashima Reiko.

Kashima Reiko certainly wouldn't sit on his lap; there were other students from Class 2-A around, and it would be far too inappropriate.

She placed the fruit on Takahashi Makoto's lap, sat down beside him, and her emerald eyes followed Hanakawa Kaori's petite figure on the playground.

Makoto Takahashi picked up an orange, peeled it, and handed the two segments to his left and right: "Hanaori seems to be quite active today."

"Hmm." Kashima Reiko nodded solemnly, took the orange, and put it in her mouth.

The abundant juice bursts in your mouth; it's very sweet.

For the rest of the morning, the three of them chatted and ate fruit in the stands while watching various track and field events.

Midway through, it was discovered that someone from the family had come to split up the business. Makoto Takahashi took out two 1 yen bills from his wallet, reimbursed the cost of two boxes of cream puffs and travel expenses, and then left quickly without saying a word.

“The people who have separated from the family are much more sensible when they see you than when they see me. They even do errands themselves,” said Tachikami Yuki, displeased.

"Bouchard said that men conquer the world, but women conquer the world by conquering men."

Makoto Takahashi put away his wallet and coaxed her in a gentle tone, "When I become the strongest on Earth, I will definitely listen to you."

Of course you should pamper your own girlfriend.

"Good boy~" Tachikami Yuki fed him a grape with satisfaction.

The intimate scene of the three was witnessed by Maya Sugi in the stands not far away. She rested her chin on her hand and nodded thoughtfully.

During lunch break, Makoto Takahashi went to the student council president's office for lunch, just like he always did.

Not long after they sat down, Nekoya Hina and Hanakawa Kaori, who were wearing their school uniforms over their athletic outfits, arrived and had lunch with the three of them. The originally spacious sofa suddenly felt a bit crowded.

"Brother, can I go back to the classroom during lunch break?"

While stuffing beef into her mouth with chopsticks, Hanakawa Kaori mumbled, "I promised my classmates I could take a picture with you. Everyone worked so hard to achieve what we have today."

It sounded a bit strange, and Takahashi Seiichi had no idea what she was up to, so he hesitated.

"Nekoya-kun is the leader of Class 1-C, right? Is there anything you wish to achieve?"

Sitting beside him, Tachimi Yuki looked up at Nekoya Hina with gentle eyes and said with a tender smile, "You're Makoto's friend. If you have any difficulties at the academy, you can just tell us."

In the morning's track and field competition, Hanakawa Kaori bought a lot of points, and the 1st year C group ranked very high, second only to the 3rd year A group which has produced many talents.

"Ah, this..."

Hina Nekoya frantically looked to Hanakawa Kaori for help, not daring to act recklessly like Maya Uesugi.

"Yuna-nee thinks Chihaya is a good person and hopes she can get a raise."

Hanakawa Kaori swallowed the food in her mouth, a sly smile spreading across her face.

"My brother also thinks that Director Chihaya is a responsible and good person, right? When Ikeda was being ostracized in the class, Director Chihaya educated him in time, which prevented the situation from getting worse."

An impeccable explanation.

Tachikami Yuki scrutinized Hanakawa Kaori with a critical eye, and remembering how she had played the sweet and obedient little sister in front of him just a few days ago, he decided not to stop her.

"Chengjun, I'll be fine with Lengzi keeping me company during my lunch break."

"Okay," Takahashi Makoto agreed.

After lunch, Hanakawa Kaori and Nekoya Hina left the student council building, saying they had no matches in the afternoon and wanted to take a shower and change clothes.

When Makoto Takahashi arrived at the playground, he saw that in the stands for Group C of Year 1, only Maya Uesugi was sitting alone in the front row.

Seeing Takahashi Makoto approach, she put away the bento box and picked up the dessert box from the chair beside her and opened it.

Her slender, fair fingers picked up a caramel puff and held it out to Makoto Takahashi, striking a feeding pose with a "ah~" sound.

What's going on?

Takahashi Seiichi didn't react for a moment, staring blankly at Uesugi Maya.

Her delicate face maintained its usual indifferent expression, but a hint of color seeped from her fair skin, making her look somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

Compared to when she ate matcha mousse in the Light Music Club office last time, her caramel-colored eyes seemed to be filled with a different emotion, giving her a more alluring feel than usual.

"Eat." Uesugi Maya commanded in a forceful tone, as if nothing had happened.

"I finally managed to waver a little."

Makoto Takahashi took a bite of the cream puff, savoring its incredibly sweet taste, and sat down next to her: "Don't you like it?"

"I specially saved one for you, after all, it's very expensive." Uesugi Maya carefully observed his expression, seemingly waiting for Takahashi Makoto to give his thoughts.

The limited-edition cream puffs at this store are indeed very expensive; a box of three costs 6000 yen, which can almost be considered a luxury item.

"Don't you feel any sweetness or itch?" Uesugi Maya asked, frowning with resentment.

Makoto Takahashi swallowed the food in his mouth, turned his head and met her confused gaze: "Were you embarrassed just now?"

"No."

Maya Uesugi asserted unequivocally that Makoto Takahashi suspected she was being stubborn, but he had no evidence.

"I don't have any either."

Chapter 141 Sports Festival (Part 2)

A contrail stretched across the clear sky from west to east, and the autumn wind carried two yellow leaves, which landed at Uesugi Maya's feet.

She crossed her arms, tapped her toes impatiently on the ground, and stared at Takahashi Makoto with her elegant and noble caramel-colored eyes, trying to find signs of attraction in his expression.

Absolutely not.

There wasn't a single flaw; it seemed like just an ordinary little thing.

Why is this happening?

Maya Uesugi maintained a calm expression, while inwardly screaming, "Am I not cute at all?"

Her blushing expression was actually quite cute, but her tone was too cold when she spoke, forcing Takahashi Makoto to snap out of his daze before he could even regain control.

"Aye, what do you think of that song from the Otaku Dance Club?"

He sat down next to Maya Uesugi, propped his legs up on the back of the seat in front of him, and stretched vigorously: "It's better for the band to stick to original music. I plan to have my entertainment company sign that musician."

"Don't change the subject."

Maya Uesugi turned her head and looked at me with sharp eyes, asking in a cold voice, "After knowing each other for so long, don't you have the slightest feeling for me?"

"It would be a lie to say there isn't one."

Makoto Takahashi put on a thoughtful expression, thought carefully for a moment, and slowly said, "It's not that you're not cute enough, it's just that you're too deliberate, and you don't have the feeling I want."

"How does it feel?"

"It's hard to describe to you."

"Tell me the time and place where you had those feelings before."

When Uesugi Maya wanted to talk about love, she adopted a rational and serious attitude. Looking at her earnest expression, Takahashi Makoto only felt a headache coming on.

"Are you planning to analyze and summarize?" he asked, rubbing his temples.

Is there a problem?
