"Yes, there is, but it probably won't work now." Chihaya said, "Are you surprised that Kanzaki-san is actually like this?"

"Of course I'm surprised, but it makes sense." Kanzaki was very receptive and his expression didn't even change.

"I like dealing with smart people." Chihaya said, "But at this stage, Class B only needs one voice, so Kanzaki-san just needs to do what he wants. If I need it in the future, I hope Kanzaki-san can help me."

"......" Kanzaki was silent for a long time, "Okay."

----split line----

Not long after Chihaya Kanzaki left, Suzune and Ayanokouji visited the Student Council office.

"As a reward for second place, you can ask questions about future exams, and I will answer them as appropriate." Horikita Manabu said to the two, "Then you can start asking questions."

"Is it okay if you want to ask about the final exam?" Lingyin asked.

"of course."

"That--"

"No, the final exam doesn't matter." Ayanokouji interrupted the ring tone, "I want to ask if there will be special exams on the holiday cruise."

"meeting."

"Will class points be involved then?"

"meeting."

"Then..." Lingyin's mind suddenly opened up and she wanted to continue asking questions.

"Two questions, that's all." Horikita Manabu didn't let his sister ask any more questions. "The school doesn't have any rules that say the rewards for special exams are not linked to class points."

"..."

"Then let me remind you one last thing. The following special exam requires the participation of all members."

"Everyone?" Lingyin was a little surprised.

"That's it. Okay, this is all I can reveal about the second place."

143. Magazine sales

A week after the Ludo Battle ended, the magazine supervised by Hayasaka finally went on sale.

The first issue was a trial magazine, with a total of 200 copies printed, each priced at 500 personal points. Class B students can enjoy a 1% discount for their first purchase, and fan club members can enjoy a 20% discount. (The current exchange rate is around 500:25, yen is about RMB)

In other words, members of the fan club enjoy long-term discounts, while students in Class B are given discounts by Hayasaka as a publicity strategy - if you are in Class B but don't join the fan club, and want to buy the second issue at a discount after buying the first issue? Hurry up and submit your application for membership!

Of course, the core members received the first issue of the magazine in Chihaya's name in advance.

From Class B there are Honami and Amigura, from Class D there are Suzune and Kushida, from the Student Council there is Horikita Manabu, and even the second year student Kiryuin.

Hayasaka's idea was very simple. After all, although Kiryuin was a freak, he still had some influence. If the other second-year students saw the magazine that even Kiryuin was reading, they might be interested.

In addition, the four first-year homeroom teachers all received gifts. Whether the two grown men were interested or not was out of the question, but Mr. Hoshinomiya was as happy as a 30-year-old junior high school student.

The sales channel of the magazine is also very simple. After the transfer, it will be delivered to the shoe cabinet.

Of course, if you are a big shot, you can come to Class B and ask someone to buy it on the spot. However, apart from the students in Class B, basically no one chooses this high-profile way. And those who can do this are basically those who have a good relationship with Chihaya and others, and they have already received the magazine in advance.

As a result, all 200 copies were sold out in a short time. Not only first graders, but also second and third graders also showed great support.

This caused some students who did not buy any to complain, and they said that the tickets should be sold first to members of the fan club and then to the public.

The hunger marketing did work, and the effect of the first issue of the magazine was better than expected. With the reputation created by Chihaya, the magazine became all the rage, and the entire grade was discussing the topic of the magazine.

Especially its influence among girls is quite high. After all, more than half of the content is what girls are more interested in.

So not long after the first issue was released, Hayasaka started to prepare the content for the second issue, starting with the shooting of the new cover.

The cover of the first issue was a one-man show by Chihaya, but Hayasaka planned to find a beautiful girl to take photos with Chihaya on the cover of each issue starting from the second issue - using her position to help Chihaya improve her favorability.

The alternative cover partner for the second issue is currently Honoki. But with just one word from Chihaya, it could be Kushida or Suzune, which is very flexible.

And it's time for photographer Sakura to get to work.

However, as per convention, Hayasaka still asked Chihaya's opinion before informing Honami.

"Who will be on the cover of the next issue? Me and Hobo? No problem, just go and discuss the time with everyone." Chihaya naturally had no objection.

"I just want to confirm the candidate with you. After all, it would not look good to change the candidate at the last minute once it is confirmed."

"You don't want to change, or do you have another suitable candidate for loving you?"

"There are many candidates, but we will analyze the specific situation." Hayasaka said, "For example, if you want to interact more with Ichinose, then we will choose Ichinose. If you want to meet Suzune more, then you can find Suzune this time."

"There aren't so many twists and turns, just look for the sailing waves."

"Okay, I'll contact her then."

"Well, I'll talk to her first, and then you can make the arrangements."

"clear."

......

"Shoot the cover? Can I do it?" Fan Bo was a little tempted, but still a little worried. After all, he had no experience and was worried that he would affect Chihaya's progress.

"There's nothing wrong with that. It's just posing for photos." Chihaya said, "And it's just the cover photo. There are four or five different poses at most. Just pick the one that looks good."

"That's it."

"It will be very quick." Hayasaka interjected, "The time doesn't matter. We are very casual. The next issue will probably be released after the summer vacation and when the second semester starts."

"That's it."

"It can be done in one afternoon over the weekend." Hayasaka continued, "It's quick."

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Fanbo nodded in agreement.

"Look, Chihaya. I told you there won't be any problems." Hayasaka turned to Chihaya and said, "By the way, I want to write an article about this flying chess battle in the next issue of the magazine. I hope you two can accept an interview then."

"Is it time to interview Chizora? I don't think there's anything good to interview you about, right?" Fanba's expression suddenly became subtle. After all, she and Shibata had made no progress at all. She couldn't throw out six points, and Shibata couldn't win the duel. It was very embarrassing.

The latter of Chihaya and Kanzaki's group has won the duel after all, so this makes the Ichinose Shibata group look very disappointing.

"It's not a detailed interview. It's mainly for supplementary explanations. It's mainly about Chihaya. I'll also ask the contestants from other classes if they're willing to be interviewed later."

"That's no problem. I'm happy to be the green leaf of Chihaya, the red flower!" Fanbo said with a smile.

"Really? Please don't involve me in everything, okay?"

"That won't work. What do you think is the biggest gimmick of this magazine?" Hayasaka put her hands on her hips. "Without your name, we can sell 20 copies and it will be a success."

"The sales of the first issue are good?" Fanbo asked curiously. Although she joined the fan club, she was not like Ami Asako who became a "worker" of Hayasaka, so she didn't know much about the content outside of the magazine.

"There are 200 copies for sale, but the demand is far from enough." Hayasaka answered Honami's question, "We plan to add 50 more copies in the next issue."

"That's not bad." Fan Bo calculated that there were less than 500 students in the three grades, so selling 200 books was indeed quite good.

"Yes, in fact, we have also promoted it in the commercial district. Many stores will also buy it and even want to advertise it."

"The coffee shop that everyone often goes to recently is doing good business and has become the second largest after Palette," Wangcang added.

"There's really nothing we can do about the color palette. After all, we're the closest." Hayasaka spread his hands. "It's a pity that we can't charge advertising fees. We can only use vouchers or discount coupons or something like that."

"Oh yeah, I forgot to talk about Ichinose-san's payment for the cover photo shoot."

144. I am Chihaya Himiya’s dog!

"Oh, yeah, I forgot to talk about Ichinose-san's remuneration for the cover photo shoot." Hayasaka suddenly said.

"Eh? You don't need any compensation or anything?" Fanbo didn't expect that he would be paid just for taking a photo, and quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"No, according to convention, all staff members are paid. We cannot break this convention for Ichinose-san." Hayasaka Kazumasa rejected Honami's idea of ​​not wanting to be paid. "Your reward is - let Chihaya treat you to a meal!"

"Okay, I'll accept this reward!" Fan Bo immediately changed his mind after hearing this.

"Although I don't mind, could you please ask for my opinion next time? Even if it's just a formality." Chihaya didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"It's okay, you have no right to refuse, Ms. Himiya." Hayasaka deliberately put on a serious face and said, "The organization has decided that you will carry out this task."

"It's obviously my own fan club?"

"That's right, although it's called the Himimiya Chihaya Support Association, Himimiya Chihaya is not the president. I, Hayasaka, am the president! I have unlimited power - ah, it hurts!"

"How many teachers do you have at such a young age?" Chihaya smiled and raised the brick-like dictionary in her hand, revealing a "kind" smile.

"What's wrong with being a dog? I'm Chihaya Himiya's dog!" Hayasaka changed her tactics and switched positions flexibly, "I'll bite wherever I point."

"...Honami, let's go. I don't want to bother with her anymore."

"Ahahahaha..." Fanba was quite used to this. Hayasaka would indeed do some terrible things occasionally and would not stop until she said something shocking.

"Okay, Xiao Ai, you can make an appointment with our photographer."

"Isn't the photographer Hayasaka-san?" Hoba asked. In her impression, Hayasaka always insisted that Chihaya be the protagonist and she would be the director. In addition, Hayasaka's strong initiative made Hoba think that Hayasaka was the photographer.

"No! Our photographer is very professional! He has a digital camera and experience in photo shoots. He is much better than me, so he was hired by Chihaya with a high salary."

"Wow, a digital camera? You're really willing to buy one!" Fanbo couldn't help but smack his lips. Although you can buy anything in the Keyaki Shopping Center, buying a digital camera is still a bit surprising for a high school student.

"She's the witness from class C and class D last time." Chihaya lowered her voice and whispered to Hoba, "She's a girl from class D, huh? But she did agree to be the photographer because she was short of money in this area."

"No wonder." Fan Bo nodded in understanding, "But it would be a lot easier with professionals around, right?"

"Yes, so we can finish it in one afternoon, and then let Chihaya treat you to a meal~" Hayasaka said with a smile, "You can already think of where to eat in advance? Chihaya will not refuse even if we suggest eating king crab at this time. As a rich woman now, she can definitely afford it - but if the two of you can't finish a whole crab, you can call me and I will help you deal with it."

"President, even Class 2B can hear your calculations," Wangcang complained.

"Stop interfering in the affairs of beautiful girls!"

"Am I not a beautiful girl?" Wangcang immediately retorted.

"What do you think?"

Wangcang looked at the people around him: Chihaya Hoba was in the top two, Hayasaka was also consistently in the top five, and she herself was not even sure if she could make it into the top five beauties in Class B.

Wangcang: QAQ Comparing yourself with others will only make you feel pissed off.

"Anyway, that's it. Sakura-san has been prepared for a long time. She is very grateful that we paid her salary in advance, but she is also very worried about not having any work to do."

"That's true." Fan Bo nodded, "So this weekend?"

"It should be no problem." Hayasaka said, "Sakura-san doesn't have any clubs, so she has more free time. It depends on whether Chihaya has any temporary arrangements."

"What temporary arrangements can I make? I don't have any club activities on weekends." Chihaya's status has risen, and the Kyudo Club no longer requires Chihaya to attend training. However, Chihaya is still quite conscious and does not really skip training because of this - but he will choose to skip the weekend morning training.

Whether it is the eldest lady or the eldest master, they all hope to sleep in, especially after five days of classes.

"Well, it would be a good idea to take a picture of Chihaya shooting arrows for the cover." Hayasaka stroked his chin and thought, "How about Ichinose-san kneeling beside me in a kimono, with various tea utensils placed on the coffee table to make it look like she is making tea?"

"It's not very suitable for a cover." Chihaya shook her head after hearing this, "But you can use it as an illustration or something."

"Let's make arrangements once I think of the supporting content." Hayasaka silently made note of this idea in his mind.

----split line----

The magazine created under the name of Chihaya Fans Association was extremely popular among the first-year students and basically became a mainstream hot topic of conversation.

Even Ryuuen bought a copy - according to him, Chihaya Himimiya was very interesting, and he bought the magazine to study the enemy situation.

Albert and Ishizaki were willing to believe this, but Ibuki didn't quite believe it.

"I say, Ryuuen, you didn't fall in love with that concubine because of your close contact with her, did you? Do you think it's interesting for a grown man to buy this kind of magazine to watch other girls dress up, put on makeup and take care of their skin?"

"It's boring. So you're not reading interviews related to the handsome guy rankings?" Ryuuen looked up and smiled at Ibuki. "How about it? Which one are you interested in? I'll help you contact them. If you dare to refuse, let Albert beat you up."

"......" Ibuki made Ryuen laugh so hard, "I think we need to reflect on our loss to Himiko! Instead of studying our opponents by reading magazines! You can't be thinking of weakening Class B by studying her hobbies and chasing her away, right? If so, I can only say that you are really an idiot!"

"If you want to be beaten, you can continue." Ryuen glanced at Ibuki while crossing his legs, and leisurely turned a page of the magazine in his hand. "Chasing a young lady like that? It's impossible to succeed, but studying her preferences is a good starting point. It might come in handy in the future. Sakagami also said that, right? There will be a luxury cruise after the final exams, and there will definitely be some special exams at that time."

"So what can you learn from this?" Ibuki was puzzled. "Isn't this what they use to make money?"

"Make money? With this price and this number of students, you can't make much money." Long Yuan sneered, "Unfortunately, I couldn't find the evidence this time, but I can now be sure that this person will definitely not devote all his energy to helping Class B!"

145. “Is she pretty?” “She is very pretty.”

Because of its courage to try and innovate, this coffee shop named "Four Seasons" in Beech Shopping Center became very popular.

In response to the sudden increase in customers, the store also timely launched the "coffee highly recommended by Chihaya Himiya" - in layman's terms, it is actually the latte that Chihaya often orders.

All lattes in the store are 10% off, and if you show a magazine you can get 15% off.
