I have bound two systems.

The implication is that if the problem was so easy to solve, she wouldn't have come here for help.

And Yukinoshita Yukino didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.

"I understand. The Service Department will do everything they can to help."

"Great! The sports meet will start in half a month. Please take care of me during this time, Yukinoshita-san."

Cheng Xunxuan put down the cup, stepped forward and took the initiative to hold Yukinoshita Yukino's hand and shook it slightly.

Yukinoshita's palms were slightly cold, so she could feel the warmth of the other person's palms particularly clearly.

"Then without further ado, let me start by giving you a brief account of the situation at this sports meet."

Cheng Xun finally let go of his hand, which made Yukinoshita Yukino, who was not used to having physical contact with others, breathe a sigh of relief.

But the first sentence Cheng Xunluan said next made her feel bad.

"This year's sports meet is different from previous ones. Its scale has been expanded and is not limited to the scope of our school."

"What does it mean?"

"The alliance...something seems wrong..."

Cheng Huixun put his fingertips on his chin, thinking about the right words.

"To be precise, it is a joint activity between high schools. Other schools will co-host the sports meet with us this time."

"Hold a sports meet together..."

Situations similar to what Cheng Huixun described are actually not uncommon among high schools.

For example, unified joint examinations are held among various schools, and students from different schools but with the same aspirations often gather together to form study groups, do some social activities, and donate love to welfare homes.

But it was unheard of for Yukinoshita Yukino to hold a sports meet together.

"Why is there suddenly such an arrangement this year?"

"This is my idea. After getting the approval of the school leaders, I went to the school that holds the sports meet at about the same time every year and visited their student union. They were very interested in my proposal and I got the preliminary approval from the school. So next, as long as we can come up with a suitable sports meet plan, this will go smoothly."

"……I see."

Only then did Yukinoshita Yukino recall what Cheng Xun said at the beginning.

——"I want everyone to share the same hatred for the enemy."

So this is what this sentence means.

It is no longer like the traditional sports games in the past where the two teams, red and white, compete against each other.

Instead, we directly use the school team method to arouse their sense of honor and encourage them to go all out and face the outside world in unison.

This is indeed a good idea that can inspire everyone's fighting spirit.

But the key lies in the various arrangements behind this event, and there are still many things to consider.

"President, which school will be hosting the sports meet with us?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that."

After tapping his head lightly as a punishment, Cheng Huixun replied with a smile,

"It's the High School affiliated to Fengcheng University."

"..."

"kindness?"

After Cheng Xunzun answered, Yukinoshita Yukino fell into a moment of daze after hearing the name of the school.

It's the school that guy goes to.

"Hello, hello."

"Let's do it, Yukinoshita-senpai~"

What brought Yukinoshita Yukino back to her senses was Yuigahama Yui and Isshi Iroha who opened the door and walked in.

Cheng Xunxuan turned around and greeted them with a smile.

The two of them learned about each other's purpose, her commission, and most importantly, the name of the other school where the sports meet would be held.

Yuigahama Yui and Isshi Iroha both became excited.

The former is simply because such things sound lively, while the latter is more or less mixed with some impure thoughts.

After that, the service club changed from its usual quiet atmosphere. The three girls gathered together and talked in a lively manner, and it became lively again after a long time.

And because of their conspicuous performance, all the thoughts that flashed through Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes from time to time, who remained silent, were not noticed by others.

"I can't bear to see you continue like this."

At Minjo High School, Fukube Rishi watched Chisato Suzumiya holding a mop, on her way to cleaning for the third time, staring blankly at the seat where Touma Kazusa, who had already dropped out of school, had sat before, with his hands on his hips helplessly.

"Touma-san has already left, Suzumiya, you should also look forward at the right time, right?"

Suzumiya Chisato did not tell Fukube Rishi about what happened between herself and Kazusa.

It’s not that I’m deliberately concealing it, it’s just that the situation around him is rather complicated and there’s no need to say it.

"Yes, yes, I understand, monitor."

Today it was Chisato Suzumiya's turn to be on duty and she started mopping the floor again.

Fukube Rishi followed him,

"I'm not the monitor anymore."

"It doesn't matter. In my heart you will always be the class monitor."

"Don't talk like I'm already dead, you bastard."

The two of them laughed and joked with each other.

After finishing their duty, the two locked the classroom door, picked up their schoolbags, walked out of the school gate together, and came to a family restaurant not far from the school gate.

Because Ijichi Hoshika had agreed to take over the position of manager, and with her taking care of the band, Suzumiya Chisato also took a break from her previous busy state and had a lot more free time.

It was that the newly appointed manager was somewhat strict. Not only did he severely squeeze the entertainment time of the four members of the band, he also set a certain amount of time for study and ensemble practice every day.

In her words, this is good for them and also responsible to their parents.

From a fair and objective perspective, Suzumiya Chisato thought this was actually a good thing, but it was also true that Goto Ichiri's time with him had decreased dramatically recently because of this.

If not for this, he wouldn't have been staring at Hesha's former seat in a daze so frequently during these days.

Seeing things reminds you of someone... There is some truth to this.

I just don’t know if Kazusa misses me now.

“…Hello, hello!”

Fukube Rishi's call brought Suzumiya Chisato back to her senses.

"what?"

Fukube Satoshi complained,

"Why don't you listen to me again?"

Suzumiya Chikako looked apologetic.

"Sorry, it suddenly occurred to me that Kazusa and I have been to this restaurant several times."

"..."

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?"

"To be honest, I originally thought that you, Suzumiya, were more of a playboy, not as devoted as you are now."

Suzumiya Chisato was speechless for a moment.

"...I'll take it as a compliment."

Fukube Rishi shrugged helplessly.

"Really? You can't keep dwelling on the past. I have a suggestion. If your campus life is a little more fulfilling, you might not have time to think about the past."

"What do you want to say?"

"The school will hold a sports meet next."

Suzumiya Chisato immediately turned around and refused.

"I won't go there and sweat profusely while squeezed together with a bunch of boys."

"Hey, this is clearly a very positive campus movement, but how come it has a completely different meaning when you say it?"

After complaining, Fukube Satoshi explained,

"I didn't ask you to participate in the sports meet. Just think of it as a way to distract yourself and also as a favor to me. Come to the Sports Committee and help me."

"Fukube, why are you still involved in the sports meet?"

"Because I'm the secretary of the student union now!"

Fukube Rizhi spoke slowly and clearly, feeling a little angry.

"I've clearly told you this before, but you really don't take me seriously!"

"Don't be so angry. I apologize."

"You don't have to apologize, just come and help me."

"So helping me divert attention is just a side job. The main reason is that you want me to help you, right?"

"Will you come or not?"

Suzumiya Chisato thought about it.

I am really free these days.

Because once they reach Fanxing, the four who have ended their band will break free from the clutches of the new evil ghost manager and run to him to complain to him.

So recently, Yidizhi Xingge explicitly forbade him to go to Fanxingmotou.

"Well, if you treat me to dinner today, I can reluctantly consider it."

"Then it's settled."

Fukube Rishi's idea was simple.

In his eyes, his good friend Chisato Suzumiya was depressed because of the departure of Touma Kazusa, so he would take the opportunity of working together to introduce him to a good girl.

Everything will be solved.

Chapter 56: Like a Husband and Wife

"Starting tomorrow and for the whole week I won't be here, and no one will cook for you. Is that okay with you?"

At the Suzumiya family's dining table, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly said these words.

Chisato Suzumiya heard this and her chopsticks hovered in the air.

"Why so sudden? Is it because of the library?"

He remembered that not long ago, Kasumigaoka had gone to several other cities with the editor to hold book signing events for the release of the new volume of the novel. She had disappeared from his side for a while, which could be considered a kind of publicity.

Is it necessary to go out for work again so soon?

Kasumigaoka Utaha denied it.

"It has nothing to do with work. You see, after all, I am only a junior and will be going to college next year. This is my last time in high school."

Suzumiya Chisato seemed to understand.

"Is it a graduation trip?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded.

"Although I don't have anyone I can call my best friend in class, there are a few girls I can talk to on a regular basis. Besides, this is an experience that will only happen once in a lifetime, so I don't want to miss it."

The reason why it is called "high probability" is that she thought of other possibilities.

If a third-grader repeats a grade for various reasons, he or she will have an extra opportunity to experience a graduation trip.
