"It was just a request from the teacher." Chiho made up a lie on the spot: "Because the school wants to help students in need, but they definitely need to investigate before they can help."
"so what?"
Chiharu Tokisaka asked Chiho.
"I'll give you the money. How about 50,000 yen? That should be a lot of money."
Chiharu Tokisaka opened her mouth; she wanted to refuse.
"But isn't this exactly what I wanted?"
"Isn't it precisely because I know Chiho's family is wealthy that I deliberately asked her if she needed any help?"
"Now, Chiho needs to give me 50,000 yen..."
Chiharu Tokisaka smiled and said, "As a senior, I must help my junior. I will definitely help with this."
"After all, you two are in a relationship. It would be unreasonable for me to be so decisive."
She smiled brightly and energetically.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Tokisaka-senpai," Chiho said with a smile.
"I'll go to school after I take a shower," Chiharu Tokisaka said energetically. "Leave this to me."
After hanging up the phone, Chiho lay on the bed with her phone in her hand.
"I am truly despicable."
"Pretend you know nothing, even though Aoi was just asking me out of kindness. But I had someone follow them."
"I knew perfectly well that Tokisaka-senpai was having a hard time, but I still deliberately made her do these things. It was just because Tokisaka-senpai was short of money and short of work."
"I—I'm so pathetic."
"But that's probably what adults are like."
Chapter 246 That hesitant and conflicted thing, like mist
At school, Aoi Asahi was looking for the latest popular light novels on the bookshelf.
After unloading it, we put it in a large cardboard box.
Xia Wuzhao pushed the cart and followed beside her.
"Why do you think these light novels are so popular?"
Aoi Asahi took a light novel set in a school setting from the bookshelf: "Are there really schools where giant robots fly?"
"Because people not only like cute girls, but also giant robots. That's why there are schools that have giant robots."
Natsugiri answered Asahi Aoi.
The girl put the book in the box and said, "What about the bad students at school? When they drive giant robots and cause destruction, the teachers can't stop them, can they?"
"Therefore, such a plot usually doesn't happen in stories."
"I see." The girl nodded.
She then pulled out another set of books; "This one seems to be purely campus-themed, without giant robots or superpowers or anything. It seems to be mostly about romance, and this one seems to be quite popular."
"I guess she wants to learn how to date," Xia Wuzhao replied, though she wasn't sure if it was the right answer.
"Oh, I see." Aoi Asahi nodded thoughtfully.
She glanced at the book's title and memorized it.
Because maybe I'll need to look at it and learn from it myself later.
After filling the box, Aoi Asahi said, "Just register it at the counter and we can take it to the Literature Club. But, will anyone actually look at these things at the school festival?"
The girl was very puzzled.
There will always be bored people.
Xia Wuzhao was at the counter, scanning the barcodes on the back of the books one by one, while Asahi Aoi was sitting in front of the computer marking them.
This indicates that every book was borrowed by the Literature Department.
Before long, people from other classes came looking for Asahi Aoi.
"Asahi, haven't you finished your work yet?"
A pretty girl was peering into the room from the edge of the door.
Aoi could only smile and say, "Almost done, it'll be ready in a bit."
"Thank you so much." The pretty girl smiled sweetly.
However, when she saw Xia Wuzhao, she was still somewhat surprised, and even felt a little apologetic.
"I hope I didn't disturb you."
She asked in a low voice.
"It's okay," Aoi Asahi said to the girl, which reassured her.
After registering all the books, Aoi Asahi put them back in the box.
Xia Wuzhao carried the boxes to the literary club by herself, and Asahi Aoi said to the girl, "Wait a little longer. When Xia Wuzhao comes back, he can help me look after the library. Then I'll have some time."
"It's alright, it's alright." The girl seemed a little ashamed: "You've really gone to so much trouble, Asahi."
Pulling the trolley, I walked out of the library and headed towards the student association building.
The campus looked deserted on Sunday, but there were still people around. Many of the girls were very youthful and vibrant, and just looking at them made life seem wonderful.
"Yo! Junior!"
After seeing Natsugiri Kai, Tokisaka Chiharu waved.
She smiled brightly, her golden pupils even shimmering slightly in the sunlight.
Those pale gray hairs also shimmered with sunlight.
"What a coincidence, we meet again."
Chiharu Tokisaka walked quickly forward, her hands behind her back, and glanced at the trolley and the box that Natsugiri Kai was pulling behind her.
"What's in this box?"
She asked curiously.
“Just some light novels,” Xia Wuzhao replied calmly.
Xiao Ai was already screaming in Xia Wuzhao's mind: "Lord Xia Wuzhao, Lord Xia Wuzhao! I smelled the scent of a monster on Tokisaka Chiharu."
“Light novels, huh? I remember reading several light novels before.” Chiharu Tokisaka smiled. “Because I wanted to become a voice actress or something, I even bought a few light novels to read and tried dubbing a few times.”
"But when I recorded myself listening to it, I only had one thought in my mind—ah, it really is awful. I'm definitely not cut out to be a voice actor. So I just gave up and never bought any light novels after that."
Ah, I really miss those days.
She smiled, looking up at the sky with a nostalgic and wistful expression.
Xia Wuzhao turned her head to look at Tokisaka Chiharu, only to see an imperceptible sadness on Tokisaka Chiharu's face.
She said, "When I was little, I was so innocent and adorably childlike."
Xia Wuzhao asked Xiao Ai, "Did you really sense the demonic aura on Tokisaka Chiharu?"
Xiao Ai puffed out her cheeks, a little annoyed: "Of course, Lady Xia Wu. How could I be wrong? She already exudes the aura of a demon, like a street lamp at night."
"Then why do you think a monster suddenly appeared on her body?" Xia Wuzhao asked Xiao Ai in return.
Ai observes Chiharu Tokisaka: "She's probably in despair, because she can't find a job, that's why she's in despair."
Xia Wuzhao said, "That's too one-sided."
Xiao Ai didn't say anything, but continued to observe Tokisaka Chiharu.
"Tokisaka-senpai, aren't you going to work? Why are you at school at this hour? Is there something else you need to do?"
Xia Wuzhao asked casually.
"Hehe, senior, I've already changed jobs."
Chiharu Tokisaka said humorously, "I used to have a lot of part-time jobs! But the more part-time jobs I did, the more I realized that there are limits to how much work there is."
"so what?"
Xia Wuzhao looked at Tokisaka Chiharu.
"I'm quitting this job, junior!"
Chiharu Tokisaka laughed: "Now, I'm going to open a firm. I'll specialize in helping people with their cases, just like a detective. How about that, pretty cool, right?"
She proudly made a peace sign with her hands.
"A firm? Is it a registered company? Does it have employees?" Xia Wuzhao asked in return.
Chiharu Tokisaka chuckled, "We'll register a company in the future, but I'll be the only employee."
Xia Wuzhao said, "Is that so? Then is it really possible to make money?"
"We've already received a commission."
Chiharu Tokisaka said, "I can earn tens of thousands of yen."
As she said this, she laughed to herself again.
Xia Wuzhao walked ahead, while Shizaka Chiharu followed behind, her smile gradually fading.
That energetic, radiant smile gradually disappeared.
Instead, a thick fog of melancholy enveloped her, and she couldn't stop sighing.
But each time, she controlled herself to prevent Xia Wuzhao from hearing it.
"I'm disgusting."
"You're disgusting, Chiharu."
She pursed her lips and followed Xia Wuzhao to the foot of the club building.
She glanced at the student club building and asked, "Are we going to carry this whole box of books upstairs?"
“Yes,” Xia Wuzhao said, “because we need books for the cultural festival.”
"Then let me help you."
Chiharu Tokisaka couldn't help but laugh as she bent down to pick up a stack of books from inside.
"Can you move it?" Natsumi asked Chiharu Tokisaka.
“You underestimate me. At my peak, I was a worker who could do seven jobs a day,” Chiharu Tokisaka said proudly. “My stamina is top-notch.”
Chapter 247 A Slave Existing for Others
Just as Chiharu Saka said, she was a working warrior who used to work seven jobs a day.
She was quite physically fit; she took two stacks of books from the box and carried them in front of her.
And yet it remained steady and stable, without the slightest strain.
Xia Wuzhao glanced at her and noticed that the girl's arms were firm, with lines that flowed like a shark's.
It is filled with a healthy aesthetic.
"Did you come to school alone today, or with others?"
Chiharu Tokisaka asked curiously.
"I came with Aoi Asahi."
Xia Wuzhao answered in this way.
"Oh." Tokisaka Chiharu was still somewhat puzzled.
"What exactly is the relationship between Chiho, Aoi Asahi, and Natsugiri?"
Feeling somewhat conflicted, she cautiously asked, "Is Aoi your lover?"
Xia Wuzhao said, "No."
"Oh."
"I felt a strange sense of joy inside me, because if that were the case, Chiho would be Natsugiri Kai's lover."
