I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

Xia Wuzhao responded.

“I don’t believe it,” Chiho said.

"Think what you want." Xia Wuzhao didn't want to explain anything.

Seeing Xia Wuzhao like this, Chiho finally withdrew her leg and jumped off the table.

"Oh, I was just joking, just kidding."

The girl waved her hand and said with a smile, "However, your reaction really surprised me."

"Well done, Natsugiri."

He patted Xia Wuzhao on the shoulder: "The minister's trust in your character has increased again."

Xia Wuzhao simply responded casually, without saying anything else.

Chiho sat down next to Natsugiri Kai, tilting her chin up and looking at the ceiling of the clubroom.

Summer mist~~

"Ah."

"Tell me, what does it feel like to fall in love with someone?"

“I don’t know,” Xia Wuzhao said, “because I’ve never liked anyone before.”

"Pshaw, that's a lie."

The girl said, "Xia Wu, I can tell the difference between the truth and lies."

"Oh."

Xia Wuzhao's reaction was very calm; he simply looked at his book as if nothing had happened.

Chiho looked at him and couldn't help but sigh softly again.

"Summer mist always makes people feel powerless, as if nothing can move him."

"It's as if he doesn't exist in the real world."

"It's as if there's a thick wall of separation between him and everyone else."

"No one can figure out what he's thinking."

"So, that's why Aoi would use that method. Hopefully, she can use this persistent approach to make Xia Wukai familiar with her presence."

"However, I would never do such a thing."

"I want more; I can't stand that bland, monotonous life."

With that thought in mind, she leaned against Xia Wuzhao's lap.

Resting her head on Xia Wuzhao's lap, she said, "Xia Wuzhao, this is the minister's order. You don't need to disturb the minister's sleep, or he will get angry."

As she spoke, she covered her ears.

Ignore Xia Wu's explanation, and she won't refuse.

Xia Wu glanced at the casually flowing crimson hair, but ultimately decided not to disturb Qian Sui.

-----------------

Aoi Asahi and Chiharu Tokisaka found Jun Yokokawa in the office; Jun Yokokawa looked like he had been waiting for a long time.

"You've finally arrived."

Jun Yokokawa complained, "Teacher, I've been waiting for you for so long."

"I'm sorry, teacher."

Chiharu Tokisaka bowed and apologized.

“There’s no need for that.” Yokokawa Jun didn’t expect Tokisaka Chiharu to actually apologize. She said helplessly, “It was just a joke, just a joke.”

Seeing the two of them, she then handed them a piece of paper.

"Here, this is the application form for establishing a club. After you fill it out, I will approve it. I will probably also serve as your advisor. As for the room, Xia Wu should have already told you; it's right next to the Literature Club."

"Ghost members are fine too, as long as there are more than three."

Yokokawa Jun rambled on about the details, having the girl fill out the form.

—It was mainly Chiharu Tokisaka who was filling out the forms, while Aoi Asahi was just watching from the side.

Jun Yokokawa looked at Aoi Asahi and said, "Aoi, how have you been lately? How's your relationship with Natsugiri?"

"Yeah, it's alright."

Aoi Asahi answered Jun Yokokawa's question: "We basically walk together after school now."

"That's not the point," Yokokawa Jun said with a gossipy look. "I meant your relationship. I remember you two confirmed your relationship back in that seaside town, right?"

Aoi was taken aback, and she couldn't help but blurt out, "Teacher, do you remember that kind of thing?"

"Huh?" Jun Yokokawa asked in confusion, "I shouldn't be at the age where my memory is declining, how could I not remember?"

"I thought your memories would disappear, teacher. After all, mine have disappeared too."

Thinking of this, Aoi Asahi suddenly paused.

"Why do I think that Professor Yokokawa Jun's memories will disappear? I subconsciously thought that everyone's memories would disappear. But isn't that actually the case?"

Thinking this through, Aoi realized that she had made a very serious mistake.

—When I realized that my memory was incomplete, I should have asked Jun Yokokawa.

By asking people around you about yourself and Xia Wu, you should be able to get an answer that is close to the truth.

"Perhaps, Chiho used this method to obtain the information from before."

"Although her memory hasn't fully returned yet, and she hasn't recaptured the feelings she had when she fell in love with Xia Wuzhao, she has already realized that she once loved Xia Wuzhao."

The girl reflected on her mistakes.

After regaining her senses, she answered Yokokawa Jun's question: "I thought the teacher wouldn't pay attention to us."

"So, in your eyes, teachers are the kind of teachers who are completely irresponsible? Teachers are really heartbroken."

Jun Yokokawa shook his head, looking dejected.

"I'm sorry, Yokokawa-sensei."

Asahi Aoi said this.

After sighing several times, Yokokawa Jun finally said, "It's okay, the teacher doesn't mind."

After a slight pause, she continued, "I heard that you've been staying at Xia Wu's house lately?"

“Yes, teacher,” Aoi said; “I did it because of certain things.”

"I understand, I understand."

Yokokawa Jun waved his hand weakly: "However, you guys should pay attention to safety measures, after all, you're still high school students."

"teacher!"

Aoi complained, "Natsugiri and I are just in a normal relationship. We've never done anything like that!"

Jun Yokokawa smiled and said, "That's a real shame."

Aoi Asahi was quite helpless about this.

But then again, what can you do when Yokokawa Jun is a teacher?

Yokokawa Jun then asked, "Do you know about Natsugiri and Chiho? They seem to be getting quite close these days. Be careful, things might get dangerous."

"It's alright, I trust Xia Wu."

Asahi Aoi spoke earnestly.

Seeing the stubborn and adorable Aoi Asahi, Jun Yokokawa couldn't help but ruffle her hair: "You're such a cute girl. Kai Natsugiri is so lucky to have met you."

Aoi retorted, "It's not that Natsugiri is too lucky, but that I am lucky. I'm glad I met Natsugiri. If I hadn't met Natsugiri, I might not have been able to come to Second New Tokyo."

"What do you think, Professor Yokokawa?"

“Hmm, I feel like Natsugiri is getting luckier and luckier,” Yokokawa Jun replied to Asahi Aoi.

Meanwhile, Chiharu Tokisaka, standing to the side, had had her ears tied up for quite some time.

She listened carefully to the gossip, her mind racing with wild guesses about the relationship between Natsugiri, Asahi Aoi, and Chiho.

"The relationships are so complicated, who is whose lover?"

Chiharu Tokisaka pondered this, but she couldn't understand it.

Chiho is like Natsugiri's lover, while Asahi is like Natsugiri's wife.

Each of them has their own unique charm and strengths.

After finally filling out the form, Chiharu Tokisaka handed it to Jun Yokokawa.

"Teacher, I've already finished writing it."

"Hmm." Jun Yokokawa took the form, glanced at it briefly, and after finding no problems, signed his name.

"Great! You can start decorating your clubroom now. You can use that to promote it during the school festival."

This is her advice.

"I will, teacher." Tokisaka Chiharu felt a little uneasy, but also a little excited.

Jun Yokokawa smiled slightly at Chiharu Tokisaka: "Don't be so nervous. After all, this can be considered your own club."

She then took out two more keys and handed them to Chiharu Tokisaka: "These are the classroom keys. I have a spare one here. If you can't find either of your keys, just come here to find them."

"Thank you, teacher."

Chiharu Tokisaka expressed her gratitude once again.

Jun Yokokawa simply smiled, and then Aoi Asahi and Chiharu Tokisaka left.

On the way back to the Literature Club, Chiharu Tokisaka glanced at Aoi Asahi, who was still deep in thought, and tentatively asked, "Aoi, are you unhappy?"

"No."

Aoi Asahi shook her head, not telling Chiharu Tokisaka why she was spacing out.

Seeing this, Chiharu Tokisaka had no choice but to drop the matter.

She then changed the subject: "So, what kind of decorating style do you think the Helping Department should have?"

After thinking for a moment, Aoi Asahi started discussing it with Chiharu Tokisaka.

Chiharu Tokisaka chattered excitedly the whole way, seeming overly enthusiastic.

—Beforehand, I was quite uneasy and dissatisfied. I even felt some regret and annoyance.

However, when the application for assistance from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security was actually approved...

She was as happy as a child; all her dissatisfaction, anxiety, regret, and annoyance turned into longing for the future.

—I feel so satisfied.

The way she looked was as if you could see what she would look like when she started making money in the future.

The corners of her mouth were not just slightly raised.

"We'll help you tidy up that old classroom later."

Asahi Aoi suggested, "After all, we were the ones who proposed this. So, it's only natural and reasonable for us to do this."

Chiharu Tokisaka declined for a while, until she had no other choice.

She finally said, "Then I'll trouble you. I'll treat you to a sundae after we're done."

Although Chiharu Tokisaka was somewhat distressed about spending her money, she was determined to do it anyway.

"After all, they don't necessarily have to help; they could just watch and that would be fine."

"But they were still willing to help."

Chiharu Tokisaka felt a little touched: "Thank you so much, Aoi. But, would others be willing? Wouldn't it seem too shameless?"

Aoi shook her head and said, "It's okay, it really is okay."

The two talked like that, and then pushed open the door to the Literature Department.
