I have bound two systems.

"Oh, thank you."

Suzumiya Chisato had no doubts, took the cup handed to her by Isshiki and took a sip directly.

"I forgot to tell you, Senior. I was thirsty just now so I took a sip. You won't mind, right?"

"..."

Isshi Iroha's words of warning deliberately delayed until later earned Suzumiya Chisato's slow turn of head and a stare, with a pinching gesture.

"What did you say?"

"It hurts so much... I was just kidding, Senior. I'm a girl, I wouldn't do something like that, no matter how you think about it."

Even though it was very painful, the expression that Isshiki displayed at this moment was one of complete enjoyment.

"Just be quiet for a while. If there is an error in the text entered into the computer and it leads to your minister's reprimand, I will not be responsible."

Chisato Suzumiya brought up the name of Yukinoshita, and this trick really worked.

Isshiki Caiyu said "Oh" obediently and calmed down a little, which also made Suzumiya Chisato feel somewhat relieved.

Today, under unexpected circumstances, Suzumiya Chisato met Isshi Iroha again after a while. To be honest, he thought that he and her would be the same as usual and there wouldn't be much change.

But in fact he was wrong. Although he managed to resolve Isshiki Caiyu's frequent attacks one by one, his heart was not as calm as before.

For example, the moment he sat down just now, the other person's entire upper body pressed against him...

You have to know that we are indoors now, with the air conditioner on, and everyone has taken off their coats and hung them at the entrance. Therefore, the curves of Isise's body can be clearly seen through the not-so-thick fabric of the clothes.

The little lotus has just begun to show its tip, and the girl next door has grown up...

The unique sweet scent of Isshiki also came over and entered the nose. Under the double attack of touch and smell, it would be a lie to say that Suzumiya Chisato didn't have the slightest thought in her mind.

Men are creatures that are indeed led by reason most of the time, but there are always exceptions.

Not to mention, in a sense, the relationship between Chisato Suzumiya and Ichiro Iroha had already developed to that level, and the slightest provocation from the other party would cause him to passively evoke those memories.

The female sixth sense also made Isshi Iroha vaguely aware of something. She followed Chisato Suzumiya's ideas and temporarily stopped those overly obvious teasing actions.

I picked up my phone and ran to the balcony to call home, telling them that I would be back late tonight.

When they were walking together after school, she already knew from their conversation that Suzumiya Chisato was living alone. It would be a shame to miss such a hard-earned opportunity to be alone.

After dinner, I'll find a way to go back with Suzumiya-senpai...just the two of them...

Judging from the good atmosphere just now, if everything goes well, maybe their relationship will see a breakthrough after tonight.

The desire that she had been thinking about... no, the time to realize her wish was right in front of her. After hanging up the phone, Isshiki Caiyu licked the corner of her lips with her pink tongue, revealing a happy smile that showed that everything was under her control.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city.

Eriri Sawamura, who received a call from Kasumigaoka Utaha, became more and more serious as the other party spoke.

She glanced at her messy desk, made up her mind almost instantly, picked up her coat and ran out of the house.

There are plenty of job opportunities. If one is gone, just wait for the next one.

But if Qianli now adds a few more mistresses to the big family for various reasons, it will be an unbearable pain for her and Kasumigaoka.

Never allow that to happen.

"Where are you going, Eriri, so late?"

"I'm going to the bookstore to look up some information. I'll be back soon."

At this time, we can only deal with it by lying.

Mrs. Sawamura stood at the door of her house and watched her daughter go away, holding her chin and talking to herself in confusion.

"When did that kid become so hardworking?"

…………

Chapter 60: Eriri is on her way

During the summer vacation, when the two of them were alone, Suzumiya Chisato had tasted the black tea and coffee that Yukinoshita Yukino served to her many times, as well as the handmade cookies she made.

But today was definitely the first time I ate food she cooked herself.

Chisato Suzumiya could smell the increasingly strong aroma while typing on the keyboard in the living room, and it was not surprising for him to put down his work and come to the dining table with Iroha Isshi when Yui Yui excitedly called out "It's time to eat."

The absolute star of the night is the Sukiyaki pot in the center of the dining table. The ingredients are neatly arranged, flames are coming out of the gas stove underneath, steam is bubbling from the bottom of the pot, tender tofu and konjac shreds are boiling in the soup, and the fat floating on the surface is shining with an appetizing luster under the light of the living room.

The high-quality beef brought by Chisato Suzumiya has been cut into thin slices and neatly and beautifully arranged on the plate on the side. The portion is quite large, and each person can eat at least four or five slices.

Chisato Suzumiya, who hadn't eaten hot pot for a long time, couldn't help but her Adam's apple rolling up and down.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"You're welcome, let's start together."

Rice, sterilized eggs, soy sauce and everything were already prepared. After sitting down, Yukinoshita Yukino indifferently passed by Suzumiya Chisato's thanks, clasped her hands together and whispered "I'm starting", then took the lead in picking up the bowl and chopsticks.

Following her lead, others also stopped being polite.

The atmosphere at the table was quite harmonious. It didn't seem out of place or awkward after Suzumiya Chisato joined the table as she had imagined.

But this is largely thanks to Isshiki Iroha and Yuigahama Yui.

Both of them are extroverts and have the basic skill of reading people's expressions. They started the topic tacitly, which made the atmosphere at the table not as dry as when Chisato Suzumiya and Yukinoshita Yukino were alone before.

Yuigahama Yui smiled and talked about the interesting things that happened in the school, and also looked forward to the scene when the joint sports meeting officially started.

This was a topic that everyone present could participate in. Chisato Suzumiya would only occasionally interject, and most of the time she was just listening. In this respect, Yukinoshita Yukino was very similar to him.

Even when she was eating, she kept a very straight posture. Even if she wanted to reply, she would swallow the food in her mouth first. Her every move showed her good upbringing.

It was also in this situation that they happened to be sitting at opposite positions at the dining table. While maintaining silence and listening to the other two people talking and laughing, their eyes would naturally fall in front of each other, that is, on each other's faces, and they looked at each other several times.

Logically speaking, this is nothing, as there is no special relationship between the two of them.

But getting together for dinner, something that almost only happens between very close friends, still made them both feel an indescribable feeling.

But they don't have much aversion to this.

Realizing this, Yukinoshita Yukino intentionally controlled her gaze to lower it and focus on the food on the table. Even if she occasionally looked up, she would look at the other two girls at the table and would never look them directly at each other.

Chisato Suzumiya had almost the same thought in his mind, and in the second half of the meal, his attention was almost entirely focused on the plate of beef on the table.

Probably for irrelevant reasons like maintaining their figure, the other three had little interest in it and only tasted a little. The amount of rice in their bowls was also much less than his.

So he had no choice but to come. After all, if the beef is not eaten quickly after being thawed out of the refrigerator, its flavor will be greatly reduced.

"…By the way, regarding Suzumiya-san, I have always been your fan."

I don’t know if the topic about school has been finished, or if she was simply worried that Suzumiya Chisato would be bored because she saw him eating, so somehow Yuigahama Yui changed the subject and talked about Suzumiya Chisato.

The other two immediately paid attention.

Really, wouldn't it be nice to continue chatting about your daily life in the Service Club?

Chisato Suzumiya swallowed the food in her mouth and took a tissue to wipe the grease off her lips.

Regardless of the other party's intention in suddenly bringing up this topic, he still had to respond to it out of politeness.

"My fans? What do you mean Yuigahama-san?"

"It was the video of you singing on stage at a music festival that was very popular on the Internet a while ago! It was amazing!"

Yuigahama Yui has a little habit that she is not aware of. When she talks about something that she is looking forward to or excited about, her eyes will suddenly dilate, and a radiance that seems to be real will bloom in them, giving people an inexplicable pressure. This is how she behaves now.

"Actually, after that, I followed the official account of the band Ending. Although they also sang the same song later, how should I put it, it just didn't feel as good as Suzumiya-san's."

"It's probably because of preconceived notions."

"Do not."

Yuigahama Yui shook her head stubbornly.

"Although I don't have much confidence in singing, I still have basic appreciation ability. Suzumiya-san is supposed to sing... with more emotion."

"More emotional, that's a very general comment, but thank you anyway."

Chisato Suzumiya accepted Yuigahama Yui's praise with a smile.

"Come to think of it, I've been looking forward to hearing Suzumiya-san sing other songs in person after that, but I haven't seen you release other works in such a long time. It turns out that it's because you're in the second year and you have to prepare for the entrance exams later."

Suzumiya Chisato nodded.

“That’s part of the reason.”

Isshi Iroha found the right time to interrupt the conversation.

"But the main reason is that Senior Qianli has other more important things to do right now."

"Hey……"

"Eh, is it something that can't be said?"

Isshiki Caiyu, who was stopped by Suzumiya Chisato, suddenly changed her complacent expression. She put down the dishes in her hands and lowered her head pitifully, as if she had done something wrong and was waiting to be scolded. She performed a series of small moves so smoothly.

With her behavior like this, and the two people beside her already having their interest aroused, it was naturally impossible for Chisato Suzumiya to really say anything reproachful.

Moreover, although he would deliberately conceal his recent situation from others, when he thought that Yukinoshita and Yuigahama knew about it, he didn't seem to be so averse deep down in his heart.

Isshi Caiyu quietly raised her head and saw Suzumiya Chisato sighing lightly, as if she couldn't do anything to her. Her expression changed again in an instant, with the corners of her mouth raised to reveal a smile, returning to her complacent state just now, and as if showing off, she said the words she hadn't finished just now.

"Since Senior Qianli has established his own company, he doesn't have time to deal with the details."

“Company? Eh… Eh?!”

A little late, Yuigahama Yui looked at Suzumiya Chisato with a look of doubt in her eyes.

"That means Suzumiya-san is now... the president?"

"Well, that's right!"

In fact, Isshiki Caiyu has only known about this for a short time.

Chisato Suzumiya was already exhausted from dealing with her coquettish and proactive attitude in the living room, so he had no choice but to answer her questions about things she didn't know to satisfy her.

And now, Isshi Iroha herself was telling others about the current situation of the person she cared about, which no one else knew, and she saw the surprised expressions of the two seniors as she wished, which made her feel very happy.

To some extent, she shared the honor and praise that Chisato Suzumiya had received and the honor and praise she had received.

This means that I have already bound myself and him into an inseparable relationship in my heart.

"President...Suzumiya-san is helping with the family business?"

Yuigahama Yui had heard about Yukinoshita Yukino's family situation from Hiratsuka Shizuka, and knew that her family was quite powerful, so she subconsciously assumed that Chisato Suzumiya was in a similar situation to her friend.

"Not."

After Isshiki Iroha answered directly, she realized that she didn't seem to know the specific situation, so she immediately looked at Suzumiya Chisato for confirmation.

"Uh, Senior, that shouldn't be the case, right?"

"If you don't know, don't answer so decisively."

"Hehe~"

Isshi Caiyu smiled and turned the page.

Then Suzumiya Chisato met their gazes and nodded slightly.

"It has nothing to do with my family. I was helped by a very kind elder to set up the club."

The very kind elder naturally refers to Touma Yoko, and her name Suzumiya Chisato was just mentioned in a general way.

It doesn't matter what happens to him, but he doesn't want to disclose other people's privacy.

"Hey, that's amazing!"

"Yeah, yeah. I also think that Senior is amazing. He did such an amazing thing without telling anyone. If I hadn't asked him just now, he wouldn't have even planned to tell me. That's really too much."

"Because it's not something particularly worth mentioning..."

Suzumiya Chisato paused for a moment, and he turned his head to look towards Isshiki Iroha.

The other person lowered his head and ate the food in small bites, without making any special movements or saying anything special.

Chisato Suzumiya took a breath silently and moved her feet back under the table.

"But I'm curious, the company founded by Suzumiya-san...if I'm not mistaken, is it related to the entertainment industry or the music industry?"

"Yes, that's true. The direction we are considering for future revenue is roughly consistent with what Yuigahama-san speculated."

"So, maybe Senior Qianli will bring up some great superstar in the future. Maybe we can ask him to take us to banquets attended by various celebrities."
