Great, now we are dead!

The tall, elegant, and spirited young woman bit her lip, repeatedly telling herself to "calm down" before raising her face with a bright and cheerful smile.

"Please accept this; I hope you have a wonderful experience."

"Thank you. I'm looking forward to it too."

Asuna adjusted the shoulder strap of her bag and took the flyer with both hands.

She must be having a hard time, looking like she's suppressing some kind of impulse... Is she about to get heatstroke?

Looking at the other person's forced smile, Asuna, being kind-hearted by nature, couldn't help but feel a pang of pity and strengthened her resolve to cheer for him when the time came.

"Excuse me, are you number four... Miss Aiko?"

"Yes."

Her long, straight black toes were drawn inward, and her left hand, hanging down, was quietly clenched behind her back.

"I'm number four, just call me Ai-chan."

She had been saying the sentence smoothly, but just now a sudden wave of nausea made her almost throw up.

Ai-chan

As always, Asuna was gentle and generous, saying, "My friends and I will definitely go!"

That smile was more dazzling to "her" now than the midday sun.

After watching the girls leave, Ai-chan No. 4 was completely lost and out of sorts all afternoon. When she returned, she was scolded by her manager, but she could only silently endure it.

Her companions began to comfort her, and Ai-chan was moved to tears, but she refused to reveal her inner thoughts—although they had shared joys and sorrows, there were some things that she simply couldn't tell others.

Her emotions, which were gradually calming down, were stirred up again upon seeing the performance costumes used for training:

"what is this?"

"Training clothes."

"No way, this looks like a swimsuit no matter how you look at it."

"The level of exposure wasn't that high."

At most, it's only at the level of a racing swimsuit—his companions didn't take it seriously.

Of course, because of its design, it is indeed a little tempting...

"We're going to be there to support them and attract their audience, so we can't just do it without investing some money!"

The person in the center frowned. As the "elder sister," she usually took good care of the person in the center. Even though the person in the center was not her original younger brother, she should lend a hand out of a sense of duty since they were both in the same boat.

However, this does not mean that Number Four can do whatever she wants. It should be noted that the entire group is under the control of the "team leader". Their money and personal safety are not guaranteed at all. They must do their best to complete the tasks assigned to them in order to survive.

It's time to let Number Four know how ruthless this industry is!

"We're idols! And we're an underground group with no name."

This time, our partners are [Rect] and the Kuze Group, promoting a very popular work... Although our ranking isn't very high, we'll still get a lot of exposure, so being a little overly aggressive at times like this won't hurt!

"but……"

"There's also a specially choreographed fairy dance that we need to practice until we know it by heart these days!"

"I mean……"

"This is a big client. If we fail, the team leader will definitely kill us!"

"..."

Wait, do you mean I have to wear this, dance a vulgar dance, and flirt with other men in front of that woman?

Realizing what she was about to face, Aiko Sugo's pupils dilated instantly. The darkness that had been sealed deep within her mind suddenly went out of control, and everything turned upside down. She had no idea where she was.

"Aa ...

"My son! What's wrong, my son!"

"Quickly, call the agent!"

"No, call an ambulance!"

Chapter 93 This person sounds familiar...

"I have such a happy day!"

"Sister Qianhua has so much energy, I'm so tired..."

"And it doesn't seem like I bought anything."

"I guess I'll stick with online shopping."

"But if we don't try it out in practice..."

After a pleasant day, Chika wanted to invite her girlfriends to her house for a pajama party, but Miko and Asuna declined for some reason, and only Shirogane Kei came along.

Wearing cute pajamas, she sat on the soft bed with the Fujiwara sisters, chatting enthusiastically about topics typical of girls.

Then, as is customary, once someone says, "I heard that so-and-so confessed to so-and-so," the conversation naturally turns to romance.

Three innocent girls who had never even tried kissing, yet when they talked about this, they all acted like seasoned experts, offering their opinions on the silly couples in their class. Occasionally, when they discussed something too extreme, their faces would flush like they were drunk.

Gradually, sparkling water began to have the same effect as beer, making them lose themselves in its enjoyment.

Chika has a pure and innocent appearance and is shy about that kind of thing like ordinary girls, but her theoretical knowledge is much richer than the other two. She helped them correct some misconceptions and was immediately given the title of "Love Master".

"uh-huh"

Chika proudly straightened her back, her breasts, unbound by a bra, trembled up and down.

Gui's eyes moved up and down accordingly.

Great!

Is this the leisure of a high school girl?

Gui touched himself lightly, feeling slightly dejected.

It doesn't seem to be a problem with nutrition or age, since she's not as good as Mengye, who is the same age.

"Kei-chan is so cute!"

Mengye couldn't help but hug her from the side again, stroking her beautiful silver hair with affection.

"Don't worry, Kei-chan is already perfect. It's okay if she doesn't grow any bigger."

You mean height, right?

Gui pursed his lips and turned his face away in protest.

"Mmm! Even when Kei-chan is being sulky, she's still adorable! If I were a boy, I would have confessed to you already!"

"Moeha, you again... Speaking of which, Chika-nee is so popular, there must be a lot of people confessing their feelings to you, right?"

Gui leaned forward excitedly, getting close to Qianhua: "What kind of people are they? Are there any handsome guys who make your heart flutter?"

"Confessions? Hmm, quite a few, actually."

Chika touched her lips with her fingertip, looking like she was seriously recalling something: "There were two or three after I entered the second year of high school."

Actually, because of her close relationship with Ye Shou, and with this "terrifying childhood friend" around, few boys dare to challenge this unattainable beauty. The only ones she's close to are the two from the student council.

But they most likely didn't see Chika as a cute girl, but rather as an unreliable frenemy and senior.

However, in this situation, how could one say "no" in front of one's own sister and the child one regards as a sister?

"Two or three" is a very appropriate number, because one would be too stingy and easy to pinpoint, while more than four would increase the difficulty and make it harder to cover up the lie.

Moreover, the text mentions "second year of high school," which suggests that she was also popular in her first year of high school and junior high school.

As expected, both Moe and Kei looked up at her with respect: "Amazing, Chika-nee is really popular!"

Did they refuse? Or did they agree?

"Of course we refused!"

Chika clenched her fist and placed it on her chest: "Students should act like students. The second year of high school is a crucial period for our entire academic career. How can we let pointless romance affect our future development at this time?"

"I'm so cool when I'm focused on my career," Chika thought to herself with a smug smile.

"But sis, aren't you most interested in relationship topics, and even call yourself a detective who specializes in finding out about couples' relationship problems?"

Mengye tilted her head. "Won't this affect my studies?"

"..."

Chika and Moeha stared at each other for three seconds, then suddenly looked at Shirogane Kei, a mischievous smile playing on their lips.

"Don't panic when a boy confesses to you. Kei-chan is quite popular in junior high, right?"

"Huh? Well... I guess so."

Gui was quite surprised, wondering how the conversation had turned to him, but he still nodded honestly.

"My sister is changing the subject again—"

"Mengye, do you have enough allowance this month?"

Chika held her younger sister's shoulder, "Good children get candy."

"Ok!"

Mengye sat obediently on the bed: "I've suddenly become interested in the topic of confessing my feelings!"

"As expected of my sister."

"You rejected them all? What a pity. If you don't consider your studies, is there no one who can move your heart?"

"Yes, yes! I'm curious too!"

With stars twinkling in his eyes, Shirogane asked, "What kind of guy does Chihwa-nee like?"

"That's a little... I can't really say."

"Then let's try a different approach—what kind of person would you be more likely to say yes to if they confessed their feelings to you?"

After she finished speaking, both women looked at her with great anticipation.

Chika was genuinely taken aback by the question. It wasn't that she hadn't considered this possibility; after all, she was a young girl in the prime of her life.

But every time she fantasizes, the people she imagines are very different because her mood varies, so she's not quite sure what she likes...

"If I had to say, I would really like someone who is strong and hardworking, and who perseveres to the end no matter what."

Chika said uncertainly.

"I see!"

"This kind of person is very maternal when they experience setbacks, right?"

"But no matter what, when it comes to romantic partners, it's definitely better to find someone rich!"

A moment later, Qianhua decisively changed her tune, saying, "The kind of person who is rich and gentle, who can tolerate me, pamper me, and follow me on adventures everywhere."

"I see!"

"That sense of reliability from a father or older brother—mature people are indeed very attractive."

Qianhua paused, her brows furrowing slightly, and hesitated before saying, "But as long as we can be happy, living an ordinary life is fine too. For example, someone who likes playing games and shares common interests with me, someone with whom I can play around and joke around all day like a pair of bickering lovers—that would be great too."

"I see!"

"Childhood sweethearts with similar interests? They're just playmates..."

"That's right, this might not be love. If you want to have a serious relationship, you really should find someone who is both academically and athletically gifted!"

"Um, like?"

"Excellent academic performance! All-around athletic ability! Preferably good at a sport that looks cool!"

"I see!"

"This is a universal template; people like this are indeed very charming."

"Moeha, Kei-chan, now you know my preferences, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

The two little ones nodded adorably, looked at each other, and then said in unison:

"Sister Chika (my older sister) probably never intended to be in a relationship, right?!"
