I have bound two systems.

"Ah, yes, this is a new peripheral product launched by our park. It's a souvenir. Please accept it."

The manager took the hats with cute panda images and small gift boxes from the assistant and handed them to the two people.

The two of them politely declined, but in the end he pushed it back with enthusiasm and a firm attitude.

He had originally not intended to give such a worthless thing as a gift, but just now when leaving the park, he keenly observed that the girl following Chisato Suzumiya was staring at a large panda doll playing with a child on the side of the road, contrary to her previous cold behavior, and her eyes were sharp and she seemed to want to take out her mobile phone to take pictures.

That's why I asked my assistant to pick out some small panda-related gifts to send over.

Judging from the girl's surprised expression, the effect seems to be quite good.

Before parting, he specifically signaled to Chisato Suzumiya to let him have a word with him.

"I can say a few words about the zoo area that cooperates with our amusement park. If you are interested, President Suzumiya, I can arrange for you to take a closer look at the pandas."

Suzumiya Chisato's heart moved, and she looked at Yukinoshita Yukino who was standing not far away, looking at the panda peripherals in her hand, with an obvious smile on her face.

"No way, can we allow outsiders to touch a creature like a panda casually?"

"President Suzumiya, you misunderstood me. After all, they are national treasures of their country. It is difficult to have direct contact with them, and any problem will be a big trouble. However, it is not a big problem to observe their private eating and living habits through the glass at a very close distance. In fact, I have also taken my children to see them privately."

"I see……"

"In short, you can think about it. It won't be a big problem. Feel free to contact me if you have any ideas."

"Thank you..."

"Where, where..."

After another round of polite greetings, Suzumiya Chisato took Yukinoshita Yukino out of the amusement park.

The reward of this trip was fifty universal premium tickets for the amusement park and zoo.

"What's the difference between this and using your own money to sponsor a sports event?"

Hey, hey, hey, Yukinoshita-san, you don't have to hold on to the panda-related products so tightly when you say this. No one will snatch those things from you.

"Of course there is a difference. You were sitting next to me just now, and you heard the whole conversation between me and the manager. I did not use my own identity, but clearly stated that I was exchanging these tickets for the activities to be held in the two campuses, including hanging banners and handing out flyers to promote the amusement park area."

"..."

That was true, but Yukinoshita Yukino still felt that something was not quite right.

"Anyway, the final result is good. The amusement park gained publicity, and we received sponsorship prizes. These are better than the boxes of mineral water that we begged for before."

Chisato Suzumiya patted the ticket in her hand and concluded,

"No one will lose. This is just as we said at the beginning. It's a win-win situation. Isn't that great?"

"..."

There is absolutely no way to refute it.

In addition, Yukinoshita also received some panda products and peripherals. Her private collection of pandas will have a new member joining the family, which is a pure surprise.

"Of course, these ticket packages alone are not enough. We have to find a way to attract other sponsorship prizes."

Chisato Suzumiya took out her cell phone and checked the time.

"It's already past five o'clock. I wish I hadn't wasted so much time before."

Upon hearing that, Yukinoshita Yukino shot an extremely cold look at me, and the breeze on the street seemed to suddenly become sharper.

Suzumiya Chisato felt a familiar and exciting sense of déjà vu in his heart. He sighed softly and pretended to talk to himself as he hurried back to make up for it.

"I wish I hadn't slept in this morning."

The cold gaze was retracted the next moment.

He then turned his head to face Xuexia.

"How's it going? Do you still have enough energy?"

"no problem."

"Then let's try to see if we can resolve the matter neatly today and go to the next place."

The two of them stood on the side of the road and got into the car. Yukinoshita Yukino had been holding back until now, but now she really couldn't help it anymore.

"Suzumiya-san, why do you suddenly want to get involved in this matter?"

"This..."

He tapped on his phone, seemingly texting someone again.

"I don't have any special ideas. My friend Fukube asked me to join the decision-making group for this event between the two schools. I have been using public funds for food and drink from beginning to end, so it is inevitable that I have some uneasy conscience. So I thought that at least doing some insignificant help within my ability would be considered as a reward. That's all."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at him seriously, looked at his demeanor when he replied, looked at the calm expression on his face, and nodded silently, as if she agreed with what he said.

In any case, for her, Chisato Suzumiya's actions were a great help.

Find an opportunity to thank him/her properly.

At the same time, the message sent from Suzumiya Chisato's cell phone passed through countless signal relay stations and finally arrived at the recording studio and ended up in the hands of the four members of the band.

[Sorry, I have something to do tonight and I really can't spare the time, so I'll cancel it for now. I'll bring some delicious food to reward you tomorrow.]

The moment they saw this message, the four expectant little faces instantly fell.

Expressions of extreme disappointment appeared on their faces, and then they let out sighs that were so sad and heartbreaking.

Chapter 67: Crying

In the following time, Yukinoshita Yukino followed Suzumiya Chisato to other places.

Including but not limited to department stores, we visited the neighborhood committee near Tsukiji in Chuo-ku, and also visited several stores accompanied by relevant personnel.

The situation was no different from the previous one in the amusement park. The situations in the places we visited next, if expressed in terms of the difficulty of the game, were all in EASY mode, and we could pass them smoothly without much effort.

Yukinoshita Yukino, who had always been following Suzumiya Chisato, even felt that it would not have any impact if she did not come along, because she did not play any role in the whole process. It was Suzumiya Chisato who negotiated this series of sponsorship cooperation by relying on her own connections.

As time went by, this self-awareness that came to her mind and became increasingly clear made Yukinoshita Yukino feel the frustration that she had not felt for a long time.

Before this, the only person who could frequently give her this feeling was one of her closest people, her elder sister, Yukinoshita Haruno, who was stronger than her in all aspects.

Currently, Yukino Yukinoshita and Chisato Suzumiya are in a Japanese restaurant along the roadside.

In the exquisite private room, the two of them knelt on the tatami with a faint grass fragrance and discussed the event sponsorship matters with the store manager.

During the previous summer fireworks festival, many businesses on this street had sponsored the performances, so Suzumiya Chisato had come into contact with them. At that time, he was very polite to everyone and, in a word, he did his best to look good on the surface. Looking back now, such behavior can be regarded as a considerable degree of foresight.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Chisato Suzumiya, who was confident and naturally discussing various details of the cooperation with the restaurant owner. Suddenly, for a moment, she overlapped his face with that of her own sister.

Speaking of which, my sister has now slowly begun to get involved in and manage various family businesses under the arrangement of her family.

Although I haven't seen it specifically on the scene, the expression on my sister's face when she faced and dealt with these things was probably similar to that of Suzumiya-san now.

Yukinoshita Yukino, who was preoccupied with her own thoughts, stood quietly by the side as a foil. She greeted politely when they came in, and bowed again at the end to thank others for their hospitality.

She didn't do anything until she walked out of the restaurant door and felt the cool breeze from the street blowing across her face, then she suddenly realized what was happening.

As for today's itinerary, regarding the commission from President Cheng Huixun, the two of them had already completed it completely in just a few hours.

"Well, the restaurant owner generously gave us some vouchers. He also has branches in Shibuya and Ginza. The vouchers can be used in all branches without distinction. With these and the results of our previous efforts, it should be enough."

Chisato Suzumiya stretched and unbuttoned her collar.

Just now in the small private room in the restaurant, the heating was turned on too high, and it was a bit stuffy.

"Without us, this is the result of Suzumiya-san's hard work from the beginning to the end."

Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head, not thinking that she had helped in any way.

Suzumiya Chisato chuckled and said nothing more.

As for the owner of this restaurant, he is very easy to talk to and did not make any unattainable requests. After all, he often sends people to distribute flyers on major video websites or on the streets for promotion, and he also distributes coupons of various amounts from time to time to attract new customers.

"The restaurant owner only needs us to post a promotional advertisement on the campus account, which is quite easy. After I go back, I will be responsible for notifying our president. As for the touring president..."

"I understand. It's a little late today. I'll let her know tomorrow."

"Okay, as for the amusement park, we need to put up advertising banners for their park at the event site later. As for this expense, we can have the student unions of both sides share it equally."

"kindness."

"Then there's the mall. They gave us some clothes with the mall's advertisements printed on them. We, the staff who were there to maintain order during the sports meet, had to wear them. It was a little troublesome, but considering the prizes they gave us, it wasn't a big loss for us."

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Suzumiya Chisato sideways.

It's more than just not a disadvantage.

Various household appliances, small stoves for winter, sweeping robots, food processors, a certain peripheral co-branded keyboard, and even two of the latest game consoles, etc.

As far as the sponsorship that high school students can attract is concerned, the accumulation of all the above prizes gives people the feeling that it is quite luxurious.

And all of this is thanks to the person next to me.

"It's almost ten o'clock..."

At this time, Suzumiya Chisato, who was being lamented by others, had no self-awareness. She took out her mobile phone to check the time and uttered such emotion lightly.

At this moment, his stomach also made a "gurgling" sound.

He quickly finished the snacks and souvenirs he had bought at the store at noon because it was too cumbersome to carry them in his hands and there were not many anyway, so he decided to go with Yukinoshita.

Although the restaurant owner was very enthusiastic about treating them to a meal, the two of them politely said no, and just took a few sips of the tea he brought them, without even touching the snacks.

So the reality now is that he has not eaten anything for eight or nine hours since noon, so it is natural that this situation would happen.

Yukinoshita Yukino chuckled unconcealedly.

Suzumiya Chisato shrugged slightly.

"Let's go back."

"kindness."

The two walked towards home together.

Passing by a convenience store on the way, Yukinoshita Yukino took the initiative to walk in, stood in front of the counter, looked at the pile of hot food, and cast her glance at Suzumiya Chisato.

Understanding that she was going to treat them, Chisato Suzumiya ordered a few skewers of oden and two large meat buns without hesitation.

Yukinoshita Yukino just ordered a cup of coffee for herself.

"Don't you want to eat something?"

"It's okay, I'm not too hungry."

Suzumiya Chisato didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them sat down at the long table by the window, facing the floor-to-ceiling window.

Ten minutes later, the two walked towards the tram stop.

The current time is probably the time when office workers get off work in the evening, so there are no empty seats in the tram, but fortunately it is not crowded either.

Yukinoshita Yukino was holding the ring beside Suzumiya Chisato. Only now that everything was basically done did the feeling of physical fatigue slowly come over her and become clear.

My legs feel a little sore and my body feels a little weak.

The coffee just now didn't have much effect.

Go back, take a bath and rest early.

"Today was tough."

Yukinoshita Yukino's head was cutely tilted and her eyes were a little difficult to open. The voice of Chisato Suzumiya came to her ears.

She suddenly perked up and turned to look around.

Because they were on the train, probably with the intention of not disturbing others, Suzumiya Chisato moved a little closer and started talking to her from a very close distance.

"No, if I really want to say it, it should be you who has worked hard."

Yukinoshita Yukino tried hard to calm her frightened heart.

"Actually, I want to ask a favor of you, Yukinoshita-san. Can you please say that the sponsorship you received is all your credit, and don't involve me in it?"

After hearing what Chisato Suzumiya said, Yukinoshita Yukino's expression turned into confusion.

"Why do this?"

"How should I put it? I guess it's because I don't want to cause trouble."
