Service Club? Just like you guys, you want to step into the whirlpool of the band?

She had no choice but to feign composure and quickly flip the page, pretending she was just daydreaming. "Ahem, unfortunately, our class didn't receive any notice of the workplace visit. As for what you two are going through... I can only say that I deeply sympathize."

Yukinoshita Yukino tried to get away with it this way, but Ichinose Asaba wasn't buying it at all. She said bluntly, "So what? Miss Yukinoshita, are you going to admit that you eavesdropped? After all, you haven't made any excuses at all."

""

Yukinoshita Yukino... was silent, somewhat regretting why she didn't react just now.

Today's victory or defeat was Yukinoshita Yukino's defeat.

Tuesday (Saturday).

After the rain, the sky cleared up. Chiba, which had been experiencing heavy rain for two consecutive days, finally welcomed the first ray of sunshine in the morning.

The air was filled with the fragrance of soil after the rain, and the temperature was extremely refreshing, completely free of the heat that is approaching summer.

“Welcome to come again next time~”

In the convenience store, Yukinoshita Yukino pushed open the door carrying a bag of fruits and vegetables, and walked out onto the still wet street, feeling the coolness that she hadn't felt for a long time. She decided to go to the nearby cat cafe after breakfast, and then go home in the afternoon.

Having made her decision, she turned and walked back the way she came.

Passing the traffic light intersection, she slowly stopped and changed her handbag. Due to the recent intensive piano practice at night, her wrists were a little sore and she could not carry heavy objects with one hand for a long time.

With nothing to do, Yukinoshita Yukino tightened her coat and observed the vehicles passing by on the street.

She waited until the cuckoo sounded before she started walking towards the other side.

But when she successfully ran to the other side of the street, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her, causing her to stop unconsciously.

Because the voice was so recognizable, even without listening carefully she could tell it was Asanoze Asaba's voice.

Yes, it is the voice of Ichinose Asaba

For a moment, she couldn't help but wonder why Ichinose Asaba appeared here. Could it be that he also lived nearby?

If that’s the case, then why didn’t she see him before when she was going home from school or on her way to school?

With this doubt in mind, she lowered her steps and hid under a big tree nearby, secretly sticking her head out.

In fact, she didn't know why she did this. She could have watched openly, but it was her body's instinctive reaction, which was faster than her thoughts.

""

There is no other way. She can only bite the bullet and peek at it now. Otherwise, if she is discovered by Ichinose Asaba in this posture...

It’s a bit hard to imagine.

In the field of vision, an unfamiliar young office worker was bending down to apologize to Ichinose Asaba.

"Sorry, sorry, I was walking too fast and didn't pay attention to my step. I'm so sorry for accidentally bumping into you!"

The briefcase fell to the ground, and the documents inside were scattered all over the floor. An office worker who looked to be in his thirties was packing up the documents while apologizing to Ichinose Asaba.

"It's okay, just be more careful next time."

Although the other party suddenly ran out and almost knocked him down, considering that the other party was so anxious and apologized, Ichinose Asaba naturally did not pursue the matter. Instead, he squatted down and helped him pack up the documents.

The middle-aged man beside him couldn't help but excitedly said after seeing Ichinose Asaba's actions, "Thank you for your understanding, I'm so sorry!"

After saying this, he packed up the documents and bent down to bow to Ichinose Asaba.

"It's okay, if there's nothing else I'll leave first."

"Please!"

It was just a small incident in the early morning and there was nothing to worry about. After accepting the man's apology, Ichinose Asaba decisively turned around and left.

The other person was busy at work, and he was rushing to Ikebukuro to keep an appointment. After all, he had made an appointment with Ayumi Tanaka the night before to meet at nine o'clock this morning. It would be impolite to be late after not seeing each other for such a long time.

Just after he turned and left, Yukinoshita Yukino, who was hiding behind a tree not far away, also quietly leaned out.

""

She watched Ichinose Asaba walking further and further away until her back was about to disappear from her sight, and she immediately made a bold decision, which was... to follow him!!!

Normally, this is something she wouldn't even dare to do...or even think about, but this time, she succumbed to her body's instincts and her subconscious curiosity.

"I'm going crazy..."

So much so that she herself thinks her current practices are crazy.

Stalking? Tracking? To put it more broadly, she's already on the verge of committing a crime, right?

But even so, even after realizing this, Yukinoshita Yukino did not give up her plan to continue following.

And while following, she also discovered some interesting things, that is, she confirmed that Ichinose Asaba was not here for the first time.

After all, if this was her first time here, how could she be so familiar with the surrounding streets and easily find her way to the convenience store she had just bought groceries from? When she was paying, the cashier at the front desk even said, "How could you be here so early today?"

Although she was not in the store and could not hear it clearly, she could still make out the sentence by looking at the lip movements.

So this point is very telling, that is, Ichinose Asaba must live in the nearby neighborhood, otherwise these behaviors would not make sense at all.

If I continue to follow him like this, will I go straight to his home?

After all, from the very beginning, she followed because she was curious about why Ichinose Asaba appeared here, right?

"No, no, no!"

In the end, reason overcame impulse, and Yukinoshita Yukino forced herself to give up the idea.

Let's separate at the station entrance ahead, quietly, preferably without being discovered by Asaba Ichinose.

Yukinoshita Yukino slapped her face, trying to sober herself up, and then continued walking forward while keeping a distance from Asaba Ichinose.

In fact, it didn't matter whether she patted her face to stay awake or not, because she had completely forgotten that if she wanted to leave, she could just turn around. After all, she and Ichinose Asaba were going in completely opposite directions.

So this led to the situation that by the time she realized this, people had already arrived at the entrance of the station.

""

Yukinoshita Yukino was silent for a while, not knowing what happened to her this morning to make her so stupid.

Fortunately, she was not discovered by Ichinose Asaba along the way, so she still had the opportunity to turn around and leave. The most important thing was that she saw that Ichinose Asaba did not look like she wanted to go home, but more like she had just left home and was about to go to the station to take a bus to another place.

"So...is this a job tour?"

Yukinoshita Yukino analyzed in a low voice.

Because she saw that Ichinose Asaba was dressed a little formally today, wearing a suit that she had only seen once before, at the entrance ceremony.

If that's the case, it's useless even if she continues to follow.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help shaking her head.

It is indeed important to go back early and prepare breakfast.

It was a rare day off, and she didn't want to waste her time on such meaningless things.

However, just when she figured it out and was about to turn around and leave, Ichinose Asaba, who was only about six meters away from her, suddenly received a phone call, and the voice inevitably reached her ears.

"Good morning, Ms. Ayumi. Um... I'm already at the station. I'll probably be in Ikebukuro in an hour and a half."

Yukinoshita Yukino's steps paused slightly, but she didn't think it was a big deal.

Workplace visits are free. Not to mention that Asaba Ichinose went to Ikebukuro, there would be nothing wrong with flying to Osaka.

As for Miss Ayumi, does it have anything to do with who Asaba Ichinose is in contact with?

"Try not to be seen by others? There's something near the office... Okay, I get it. You don't have to come pick me up. If you get secretly photographed, it will be even harder to explain. Um... I'll take a taxi when we get to Ikebukuro."

""

Yukinoshita Yukino stopped completely, and the expression on her face gradually changed from calmness at the beginning to confusion, and then to shock, and she couldn't believe what she heard.

Trying to avoid being discovered? The agency? Worried about being photographed and having trouble explaining myself?

Is this still Japanese? Why is it that she can't understand it when they are put together?

Also, is this a legitimate firm? If it were, they wouldn't use such a term, would they? And they're afraid of being discovered. Could it be that this is a shady firm, the kind that only adults can work in?

Thinking of this, some unhealthy images suddenly emerged in Yukinoshita Yukino's mind.

This made her blush and she quickly shook her head to dispel these images.

At the same time, Ichinose Asaba's voice reappeared, and the next sentence she heard was even more explosive than the previous two! It immediately made her certain... well, not certain, at least she had a suspicion. She had initially confirmed that the agency Ichinose Asaba was going to next was definitely not a legitimate one.

"No need to reimburse, I have my own money...Same price as before? I don't think it's necessary this time. Anyway, let's discuss the details when we meet."

After saying that, Ichinose Asaba hung up the phone, and the call was also hung up on Yukinoshita Yukino, who wanted to go home early!

Yes, after listening to the conversation between Ichinose Asaba and the suspicious person named Miss Ayumi, Yukinoshita Yukino completely gave up the idea of ​​going home to make breakfast and then going to the cat cafe to pet cats.

The agency was afraid of being discovered and secretly photographed, and it also mentioned the price again and again!

"call"

Yukinoshita Yukino took a deep breath, her expression a little unnatural. After all, she really didn't expect that her impulse would reveal such a big secret of Ichinose Asaba.

Although the evidence is not conclusive yet, I believe it is not far from what she guessed.

If it was someone she didn't know, she might be able to pretend not to see it, or just call the police and not get involved directly, but... if this person was Asaba Ichinose... then she would never sit idly by.

No matter as someone who had been helped by the other party or as a current partner, she could not watch Ichinose Asaba step by step towards Yinqi Saki and there was no return!

Therefore, she must participate in the entire process of this matter and keep a close eye on Asaba Ichinose at all times. If necessary, she should choose to call the police. This is the safest way.

As for whether she would be in danger? That didn't matter. After intensive training, her Aikido skills were probably enough to handle most dangerous situations.

There will never be another incident like what happened a year ago where she was protected by the other party and dragged away.

ps: Is anyone going to the 5th performance of Hen Ka, or the performance of the GO group?

Chapter 85 Welcome to Ikebukuro. (5100)

After getting on the train, Ichinose Asaba habitually went to the end of the carriage and found a seat near the inside and sat down.

He raised his head and looked around carefully, but did not find any suspicious people.

This made him very confused. Could it be that it was just an illusion before?

""

He took another look in disbelief, but still found nothing.

But just now when he was waiting for the bus, he clearly felt a vague gaze staring at him from behind.

It's just that there were too many people at the station at that time, and he was in a hurry to get on the bus, so he didn't look back to check immediately, otherwise he wouldn't have to wait until now.

Such a strange thing made him recall the conversation he had just had with Ayumi Tanaka. At that time, the other party also clearly told him on the phone that he should be careful when coming here and not be photographed by the paparazzi on the roadside.

After all, ever since Sumimi announced his hidden "third person" at the last concert, paparazzi have often appeared nearby to take pictures. Although these people didn't take any pictures in the end, their perseverance is really... extremely disturbing.

Ayumi Tanaka was afraid that he would be secretly photographed, so she called in advance to explain this and asked him to be careful.

So now Ichinose Asaba is a little suspicious whether the paparazzi at the door have followed the car... Well, this kind of thing should be impossible.

Ichinose Asaba shook his head, throwing away all these outrageous and unrealistic thoughts in his mind.

Because he thought about it carefully, in the eyes of others he was just an ordinary high school student. The only times he made a public appearance were when he held a live show. Although crychic was a little popular at that time, more than a year has passed now, the band disbanded, and crychic has long been ignored.

No matter how powerful those paparazzi were, they couldn't possibly investigate this, especially since the others were not in Ikebukuro.

Maybe it really is just an illusion.

He tried to convince himself in this way, and finally closed his eyes and took a rest.

It takes more than an hour to travel from Chiba to Ikebukuro, so he can take advantage of this time to catch up on some sleep and think about what to say when he sees Junda Mana and Sankaku Hatsuka again.

I guess...the two of them would be frightened by his current changes.

As Ichinose Asaba thought about this, he became nervous unconsciously.

At the same time, in another carriage.

What a risk!

Although she looked calm on the surface, Yukinoshita Yukino could actually feel her heart beating violently at this moment.

And all this was because she was almost discovered by Ichinose Asaba just now. If she hadn't reacted in time and sat down in the next car, and if she hadn't had the bag of fruits and vegetables in her hand to cover her face, otherwise... she would have been discovered as soon as she got on the train five minutes ago.

However, although sitting in another carriage was much more secluded, the problem was that she could not observe Ichinose Asaba's movements very well. She could only pay attention to the route chart above her head and the door in front of her at all times to ensure that she did not miss her stop and avoid getting off the train at the same time as Ichinose Asaba.

Just as Yukinoshita Yukino was nervously observing every move in the car, suddenly the cell phone in her pocket vibrated.

"At this time, Yi Ling Qi/罒无起就 called."

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned, looked around first, and then after making sure that 一榴1（^七）貳吧IV4)玐玐玐玐玐玐玐樓樓 suddenly appeared in this carriage, she slowly put down the bag in her hand and took out her cell phone.
