People in real teaching bring their own maid

Yes, that coffee shop doesn’t care whether you are a fan of Chihaya Himiya or not. As long as you show your magazine, you can enjoy a discount - after all, it is essentially for promotion, not for checking ingredients.

You can borrow a copy from someone and then go buy coffee, or even three or five people can show a magazine together.

Chihaya happened to pass by on this day and saw that the music playing in the Four Seasons Cafe was Antonio Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons", which is also the origin of the name of this shop.

The tune that was playing when Chihaya approached happened to be a light and cheerful melody - Four Seasons of Spring.

As per convention, the Four Seasons Suite will be played in the order of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

So he decided to go in and have a cup of coffee before going back to the dormitory. After all, what he bought today was not fresh food that needed to be put in the refrigerator immediately.

The clerk smiled immediately when he saw Chihaya enter the room.

"Vanilla latte, hot."

"Right away!" the clerk replied enthusiastically, "The manager said that from now on, everything you buy in the store will be half price."

"Then why are you so embarrassed?"

"Please find a seat first, I'll take you there later."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Chihaya looked around. There weren't many empty seats, but there were some too. The main reason was that there were no small tables in the corners, and he didn't want to occupy a large table by himself.

Then he locked onto a two-seater seat where an acquaintance was sitting with an open magazine on the table.

Chihaya took a glance from a distance and saw her own "beautiful photos". There was no doubt that this was the magazine produced by the Chihaya Himiya Fan Club.

Looking at the other person's high ponytail, Chihaya suddenly became playful and started to tease the other person a little.

Chihaya approached the girl silently and leaned over her shoulder.

"Is she pretty?"

"It's so beautiful." The girl answered subconsciously, "Wow! Himiya-san?!"

"Hello, Karuizawa-san." Chihaya greeted with a smile, "Was there a moment when you thought I jumped out of a magazine?"

"It's not that exaggerated..."

"Can I sit here?" Chihaya pointed to the chair opposite Karuizawa.

"of course can!"

So Chihaya sat down opposite Karuizawa.

"Karuizawa-san, what do you think of this magazine?" Chihaya started the conversation with the magazine spread out on the table.

"I think it's great, right? The makeup and outfit are all great. I think it will become popular among girls - everyone approves of Chihaya's aesthetic."

"Then I'm really flattered." Chihaya smiled.

Soon, the coriander latte that Chihaya ordered was delivered.

"The spokesperson is really different. It was actually sent by the store clerk." Karuizawa smiled, "What a great treatment."

"So, Karuizawa-san, how about trying to be a model?"

"Me? No, no!" Karuizawa waved his hands repeatedly, "It's okay to take a selfie, but if I really let the camera take a picture of me, I won't be able to keep my expression tight! It will definitely be very stiff!"

What's more, she has some unspeakable secrets, so she is naturally not suitable to be a model.

"Is that so? Then I won't force you." Chihaya nodded. "In fact, the cover of the next few issues of the magazine is planned to be shot by a girl with me. I think Karuizawa-san is very suitable."

"Thank you for your kindness, Himiya-san, but forget about me - maybe you can look for Kushida-san and Horikita-san?" Karuizawa mentioned two girls in Class D who were generally recognized to have a good relationship with Chihaya.

"Maybe we will invite them next, it also depends on the theme of the photo shoot." Chihaya said with a smile.

"That's right." Karuizawa nodded. "Recently, everyone's topic of conversation has been this magazine. The content is really rich."

"It's great that you like it. This way our efforts will not be in vain."

"I almost didn't buy it. It's really hot."

"It seems that there is such a problem. After all, there are not many people in the school. In addition, this is the first issue, so we did not print a lot of copies at once. In fact, I was surprised that all 200 copies were sold out." Chihaya said, "But it's no problem. I'll give one to Karuizawa-san in the next issue."

"Eh? Is it really possible?"

"Of course. It's just a magazine."

"Then I won't be polite?" For Karuizawa, money was indeed becoming increasingly tight. If Chihaya hadn't lent her some points, she would really have to eat the mountain vegetable set meal every day.

"It doesn't matter. There will be a section dedicated to gifts for friends."

Karuizawa knew this, after all, among the entire Class D, several people including Suzune, Kushida, Hasebe, and Sakura had received the magazine in advance.

After reading it themselves, Kushida and Hasebe generously lent it to the girls to circulate. As for Suzune, no one dared to look for her, and Sakura didn't read it in class, so most people didn't know that she had a copy.

In fact, as a member of the Princess Group, Miyake was also lucky enough to get a copy, but he was not particularly interested in it, so he kept it in his room as a souvenir and did not bring it with him. In addition, he was worried that if a boy like him got the magazine given by Chihaya, some jealous people would say some inappropriate things, so he simply pretended that he did not have it.

However, Kushida and others got it a day earlier, so when it was officially released the next day, the girls who wanted to see it particularly went to buy it.

Because Class D's wallets were very tight, not many people actually bought magazines. Although it was not expensive to buy a magazine with 500 points, some people were really struggling financially. If you want to save money, you have to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, but if there is no source to increase, you can only reduce expenditure and give up some unnecessary consumption - such as buying magazines.

Karuizawa actually hesitated, but after thinking about it, she decided that, firstly, since Chihaya had lent her points, it was only right for her to support her; secondly, if she didn't buy the magazine, she would probably not be able to participate in the hottest topic at the moment, and considering her own situation, she also thought that she should buy the magazine.

Now she was completely addicted, and began to worry that she didn't have enough points to learn the dressing and makeup that Chihaya taught in the magazine - now she had a certain resistance to the clothes she bought crazily at the beginning of the school year.

I really was too complacent in the first month, Karuizawa sighed in his heart.

"Come to think of it, did you come here for coffee on a whim?"

After chatting for a while, Karuizawa found a bag at Chihaya's feet, which contained some ingredients.

"It's like this. I originally just came here to do some shopping at the supermarket, but when I passed by here, I heard the Four Seasons Suite playing so I changed my plans temporarily." Chihaya said.

"Four Seasons?" Karuizawa didn't understand what Chihaya said. She only knew what music was playing and that the name of the coffee shop was Four Seasons.

"The music that's playing now is the Four Seasons Suite, which is divided into four parts: spring, summer, autumn and winter. The one I just passed by the door happened to be spring. It's rare to listen to it from beginning to end, so I came in." Chihaya explained, "I happened to see Karuizawa-san, so I came over to say hello."

"I see." Karuizawa suddenly realized, "Elegant! So elegant!"

Karuizawa knows nothing about classical music, unless it's well-known songs like Symphony of Fate or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

"It's just a personal hobby. There's nothing special about it." Chihaya said, "I don't think there's any essential difference between liking classical music and liking pop music, right?"

"So, Himiya-san should also be able to play the piano, right?"

"I have learned it before, but my level is limited."

"Hinomiya-san is so modest! That must sound nice, right?" Karuizawa has become accustomed to this kind of Chihaya-style modesty.

According to the intelligence from Kushida, Chihaya, who had joined the Kyudo Club, said that she was not good at competitive activities, and that the most important thing about Kyudo was to cultivate her character. As a result, after cultivating her character, Chihaya calmly defeated many first-year boys in competitive events.

This is really not something that anyone can make sarcastic remarks about. After all, many girls, let alone having the ability to compete with boys, probably don't dare to talk to black international students like Albert Yamada.

“Well, it’s really just an average level, because I’ve learned a lot of things, but I haven’t been able to stick to them, such as piano and calligraphy. I can only say that I’m a little bit better than people who haven’t been exposed to them, but I pale in comparison with people who have learned them.” Chihaya pinched her thumb and index finger together, trying to express the meaning of “a little bit” as much as possible.

But in Karuizawa's eyes, this is undoubtedly "billions of bits and pieces".

"Only Kyudo has survived to this day."

This statement is not false, but the first part is indeed a lie. Chihaya learned many skills because she thought her teacher could not teach her anything, so she just switched to the next teacher.

Musical instruments are an exception. It's not that the teachers have nothing to teach, but after learning the fingering and such, Chihaya doesn't want to spend a lot of time practicing - for example, playing the piano for several hours a day is unrealistic because he doesn't have a passion for it from the bottom of his heart, so he is more inclined to learn the next thing.

Rather than mastering more skills, Chihaya's behavior is more about understanding more skills. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. The best way to understand piano is to learn piano - but then again, it is not a dream to become a pianist, nor is it a hobby. After understanding it enough, she can naturally move on to the next item.

Therefore, musical instruments are not like kendo and karate, where Chihaya actually defeated her teacher, but with piano, it can only be said that she has learned the techniques, so Chihaya would say that her level is very ordinary.

Compared to some kind of "martial arts talent", he is really not as good as professionals in playing musical instruments.

"By the way, did you know that there will be a cruise after the final exams, Karuizawa?"

"Well, Chabashira-sensei seemed to have mentioned this during the midterm exam. Does Himiya-san have any inside information?"

"I can't say I have inside information, but I do know a few things."

"Can I tell you this?" After looking around to make sure no one was paying attention to this side, Karuizawa leaned forward and asked in a low voice.

"You don't have to be so serious. These are all unimportant parts." Chihaya smiled slightly. "For example, all expenses on the ship will be covered by the school. There will also be performances and restaurants on the ship. Everyone can relax and enjoy themselves for a few days."

"Really? That's great!" Karuizawa's eyes lit up. For Class D, this was what they wanted to hear the most.

After all, most of the people in Class D are short of points, and even if they don’t have to resort to eating the wild vegetable set meal, they basically eat the cheapest one.

The free meal is certainly exciting news.

"Can I tell other people this news?"

"Of course, this is not a secret. If you ask Chabashira-sensei, she will probably tell everyone. I just got a little information about this in advance from President Horikita."

"I see. I will share this good news with my friends in Class D. Thank you, Himiya-san!"

"You're welcome. I didn't do anything." Chihaya said, "I'm actually looking forward to it. After all, I've been staying in school for several months. Although there are many entertainment facilities, it still feels better to be outside."

"Does Feigong-san also have such thoughts?"

"Yes, I am no different from everyone else. If possible, I would also like to go back home and have a look."

Go home and stay at home (√)

"That's true. After all, it's a bit hard to not have any contact with your family for three years, right?"

"But it can also be considered as a form of training or early adaptation. After all, this kind of thing is bound to happen sooner or later. The so-called supremacy of strength probably also includes this aspect of consideration."

"Is that so? I never thought of that."

The two chatted happily, especially Chihaya noticed that Karuizawa had finished his coffee long ago but had not received a refill, so he signaled to the two waiters to refill his cup after he finished the coffee in his own cup.

The clerk then offered it as a free gift, which stopped Karuizawa from saying no.

This made Karuizawa like the feeling of being with Chihaya even more.

Not only is he good at chatting, but he is also very considerate and cares about her feelings.

In fact, Karuizawa decided to have one cup because she suddenly discovered that she could order coffee at a discount if she held a magazine. If she had another cup, it would have been a bit beyond her budget.

It’s a pity that we are not classmates. Karuizawa feels quite regretful.

"It was nice chatting with Karuizawa-san today."

"I am also very happy."

"Well, Guian, see you at school."

"Okay." Karuizawa waved goodbye to Chihaya, feeling a little regretful that Chihaya was a girl. It would have been perfect if she was a boy.

But if it was a boy, there would be a high probability that I wouldn't have any chance, right? Karuizawa shook his head in self-mockery.

147. The next special exam

Half a month after the end of the Ludo Game, Chihaya confirmed through a phone call with Horikita Manabu that Nagumo was not in the Student Union Office, and visited the Student Union Office after school in the afternoon.

"You kid, do you hate Nanyun so much?" Tachibana Akane poured a cup of tea for Chihaya, "and you even called to confirm it."

"Thank you, senior." Chihaya thanked Akane Tachibana first, "After all, Nanyun-senpai is very annoying. I don't want to see him."

"I thought you were the more reserved type." Akane Tachibana sat on the sofa across from Chihaya, "After all, that's everyone's impression of you, right?"

"That's because no one asked me what I thought about Nanyun Senior. If someone asked me, I would definitely not hide my thoughts - even if Nanyun Senior asked me himself."

"Why do I remember that you had dinner alone with him before?"

"According to the rumors in the school, he wanted to pursue me but was rejected? And because of this, his subordinates even spoke rudely to my friends?"

"You said it yourself that it was just a rumor..." Ju Qian said helplessly.

"People only believe what they want to believe. As for the truth, they don't really care because it's just a topic of conversation after dinner. Only the parties involved and stakeholders will delve into the truth."

Akane Tachibana looked at Horikita Manabu helplessly. She felt that she had no way to communicate with this school beauty who was very popular recently.

Yes, because of the double buff of Ludo Battle and the successful sale of the magazine, there are now many people calling Chihaya the school belle. Although she has denied it, many people do call her that behind her back.

"What do you want to ask me?" After receiving Tachibana Akane's distress signal, Horikita Manabu spoke.

"Yes, I want to ask about the next special exam." Chihaya said to Horikita Manabu, "That is the one after the final exam."

"Are you so confident? What if it's just a small test? Wouldn't it be a waste of your chance?"
