They all have hidden attributes!

Maya Uesugi interrupted Makoto Takahashi again, then asked Yuki Tachimi in a cold tone, "What are you doing here?"

“Join the light music club.” Tachimi Yuki moved Takahashi Makoto’s bass aside, sat down in the chair next to him, and answered with a smile.

She didn't look at Uesugi Maya; her azure eyes met Takahashi Makoto's gaze, causing him to awkwardly look out at the gray sky.

“I refuse,” Maya Uesugi replied without hesitation.

"Occupying the rooftop, warehouse, and corridor is not allowed."

"Tsk." The Hell Girl was mercilessly manipulated. She took out her club application from the desk drawer and slapped it in front of Tachimi Yuki.

It turns out that when Uesugi Maya mentioned the second floor of the clubhouse on Friday night, she meant the rooftop.

There is indeed a door at the end of the corridor leading to the fire escape, which would allow access to the rooftop, but the corridor is now blocked by the new main door of the Light Music Club.

"I said, this won't do." Takahashi Seimi and Tachibana Yuki filled out the club application form, feeling a headache coming on.

Does the student council president really not care about something that could lead to a safety accident?

As expected of two young ladies.

The only ordinary person who considered the other students raised an objection: "I think we should at least remove the doors in the corridor, otherwise what if there's a fire or an earthquake?"

Uesugi Maya was focused on studying music composition and ignored him, as did Tachibana Yuki.

"Do you two both think there's no problem?" Takahashi Makoto asked.

“The 5th floor is only used by the Light Music Club, so it won’t bother anyone else. Is there a problem?” Uesugi Maya glanced at him.

"This is what rationality is all about, Takahashi-kun."

Tachimi Yuki finished writing her application to join the club, handed it to Uesugi Maya for signature, and casually explained:

“An individual’s rational choice can lead to an irrational disaster for the collective. If what you described really happens, the collective will pay the price.”

Seeing Takahashi Makoto's puzzled expression, Uesugi Maya approved his admission and returned the application to Tachimi Yuki, explaining in a more accessible way:

"You may not understand the tragedy of the commons. Take a study period as an example. If a few people are talking, and you refrain from chatting with your friends, but the supervisor gets angry and punishes the whole class, how would you feel?"

In short, neither Maya Uesugi nor Yuki Tatsumi thought there was anything wrong with talking during self-study.

They called this "personal rationality," but Makoto Takahashi felt that he and the two of them were not the same species.

This is probably what a semi-feudal, semi-capitalist, pampered young lady's family education looks like.

"In any case, I hope you can remove the doors in the corridor and occupy the rooftop and warehouse, which originally did not belong to the Light Music Club. That's rational enough," he insisted.

After a moment's thought, Uesugi Maya nodded in agreement: "Alright, I respect your opinion."

"Is it really a good idea to agree to him so easily?" Tachikami Yuki raised his right hand to examine it, his tone somewhat meaningful.

"You can leave now," Uesugi Maya said ruthlessly, issuing the order to leave.

Yuki Tachibana glanced at the bass beside him, then turned to Makoto Takahashi with a gentle smile: "Takahashi-kun, shall we go practice archery?"

"I've prepared an online bass course for you, even if you're a complete beginner." Maya Uesugi immediately took her laptop out of her desk drawer.

Their gazes collided in the air, suddenly sharpening, and then simultaneously shot towards Makoto Takahashi, who blinked blankly in response.

Weren't we just talking about things like [land of the commons]? Why are you suddenly so nervous?

baffling.

Takahashi Makoto ignored the two of them, took out a workbook and a pen from his desk drawer, and planned to use the time when the two of them were there to conduct a friendly training session. Then he suddenly remembered that he had not brought Tachimi-senpai's assistance card with him today.

At that moment, Tachikami Yuki grabbed his right hand that was holding the pen, and a soft, warm touch enveloped him.

The black pen was placed aside. Makoto Takahashi turned his head and met her deep blue eyes. He saw Tachimi-senpai gently separate her five fingers, and felt a slight soreness.

"Senior Lijian, what are you doing?"

"I'll teach you how to play bass step by step. It's a training method to make your finger joints more flexible~" she said in a sweet tone, her eyes shining with a gentle light.

For some reason, Makoto Takahashi suddenly felt a bit stuffy, even though the newly installed air conditioner was quite cool.

—This is the first time in nearly two months that I've had close contact with a girl other than Nekoya Hina.

Thinking that he wouldn't lose out, he simply let Tachikami-senpai play with his fingers. At that moment, he suddenly heard Uesugi Maya's cold laughter.

"Oh, you like him?"

"To be honest, it's not that I have absolutely no feelings for you," Tachimi Yuki replied slyly.

Makoto Takahashi was certain that if he took the initiative and made a move, she would not agree and would instead take the opportunity to make various demands.

"In that case, I'll just have to make Takahashi fall in love with me." Uesugi Maya crossed her arms, as if she were talking about something trivial.

"Didn't you want to be true to yourself?" Makoto Takahashi turned to look at her with a questioning gaze.

Do loners not even need family, yet still need lovers?

What does it have to do with me that you've fallen in love with me?

Hearing Uesugi Maya's arrogant reply, Takahashi Makoto just pursed his lips speechlessly.

Who does this woman think she is? Don't look down on me!

"Don't worry, Takahashi-kun, Saya has never beaten me." Tachimi Yuki continued toying with his fingers, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a hint of danger.

This young lady was even more impressive, with an expression that said she had her cake and eat it too.

Makoto Takahashi took a deep breath, feeling very uncomfortable being treated like prey, and asked the two of them, "Am I also part of your play?"

He didn't care about their strange competitive spirit; he just hoped he wouldn't be involved.

"Saya, if your older sister gets really angry, it can be really scary." Tachimi Yuki completely ignored what Takahashi Makoto was saying and proceeded to warn Uesugi Maya.

She wouldn't allow anyone to take her food.

"Same as always, let's have a match next month." Uesugi Maya said coldly, "This time, let Takahashi join in too. The loser will be the winner's slave for a whole day."

She seemed to be very considerate of her own feelings and sincerely invited me to join.

"Do you guys usually play this high-stakes?" Makoto Takahashi asked in surprise.

Tachibana Yuki's gaze returned to his profile: "It's not often, I'm fine."

"You have no reason to refuse, do you?" Uesugi Maya shot her a cold gaze.

After a moment's thought, Makoto Takahashi cautiously replied, "I will consider it depending on the situation once the rules are finalized."

He suspected that the two young ladies would join forces against him and then settle their differences.

Upon hearing this, Tachikami released his right hand, stood up from the chair, and strode towards the office door, leaving behind only a casual remark:

"I'll be looking forward to it."

After hearing the sound of a door closing in the hallway, Makoto Takahashi met Maya Uesugi's gaze with a cold look and asked with a headache, "Are you serious?"

"I'll only say it once, Takahashi-kun."

Maya Uesugi's exquisite face revealed an expression he had never seen before, making it impossible to look away: "I invited you to form a band for only one purpose, which is to defeat her fair and square. This is my only pursuit at the moment."

Her eyes were a little scary, so Makoto Takahashi didn't ask any more questions and opened his laptop to study bass.

Although there are still many things he doesn't understand, he has a general idea of ​​the current situation.

Uesugi Maya believes that the only person who can defeat Tatsumi Yuki is herself, whom Tatsumi Yuki has feelings for. As for why she chose to play in a band, it's probably because Tatsumi Yuki's previous band failed.

It still feels a bit strange.

Because there are many successful bands in various senses, aren't there?

In short, learn bass first.

Learning bass is actually a form of intellectual training. Triggering an assistance card will successfully grant +5 to both intelligence and physique.

Club activities ended quickly. After saying goodbye to Maya Uesugi, Makoto Takahashi left his bass in the club office and went to the archery club alone.

Chapter 25 Lord Angel’s Archery Training

A breeze carrying the scent of heavy rain blew into the corridor. Makoto Takahashi, bathed in the light from the fluorescent tubes, walked down the stairs to the archery club on the first floor of the special building.

Just as I was about to open the wooden door, my cell phone in my pants pocket started buzzing.

He withdrew his hand, took out his phone, and answered the call while standing in the corridor.

"Acheng, I'm sorry, I probably won't be able to go archery with you."

The phone rang with Nekoya Hina's deliberately lowered voice, sounding as if she was wary of someone: "Kashima-senpai insists that I take two more corner kicks, and said he'd give me a spare key to the gym and help me plan my morning training schedule. I really can't escape it."

Makoto Takahashi imagined her hiding in the bathroom, secretly calling him, and suddenly found it a little funny.

If nothing unexpected happens, the archery club in front of me, and senior student Tatsumi, must be waiting for me.

"okay, I get it."

"I absolutely did not mean to abandon you," Hina Nekoya emphasized urgently.

"I know, I know. If you just say you want to go home, Kashima-senpai shouldn't drag you to training anymore." Takahashi Makoto hung up the phone and sighed softly.

After talking with Maya Uesugi, he has made up his mind about the troubles of love.

If the other person isn't someone I like based on my feelings, whoever they are, they must meet my requirements before I'll consider dating them.

Whether you're a young lady, a maid, or an ordinary person, all beings are equal.

Pulling open the wooden door of the archery club, the semi-open shooting range was brightly lit, and the wooden floor cast Yuki's shadow.

She was dressed in trousers, holding a bow and arrow, drawing the bow and nocking an arrow, but hesitated to release it.

Makoto Takahashi stood at the door, staring at Yuki Tachimi's shooting form. He felt that it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

If I can't remember, I won't think about it anymore. There are still things more worthy of attention, such as the young lady's amazing figure.

Maya Uesugi and Yuki Tachimi both have great figures, but they are completely different types.

The former is tall and slender, with everything in perfect proportion; the latter has a fuller figure but is not voluptuous, highlighting a subtle feeling of purity and sexiness.

Snapped--

Just as I was comparing the possibilities in my mind, I finally heard the sound of an arrow leaving the bowstring.

Makoto Takahashi then entered the shooting range and closed the wooden door.

"Senior Lijian, who is your teacher?" he asked curiously.
