A guide to survival in a heavy girl's world

"Because thanks to me, Zhe has finally started to see you as 'the opposite sex', right?"

Hoshino Ai looked up and down at Toyokawa Shoko, and finally fixed her eyes on her chest.

Although it was a very loose work suit, the bulge in the front could still be clearly seen.

"I see. No wonder Zhe became aware of you..."

"You bastard, don't think Chihaya-san is as dirty as you!"

Shoko Toyokawa first subconsciously covered her chest with her hands, and then glared at Ai Hoshino.

"And you actually have the nerve to ask me to thank you, even though you did something so... shameless. Don't you have any sense of shame at all?"

"Shame? Can that help me get Zhe?"

Hoshino Ai tilted her head.

"Rather, I still feel a little regretful. I should have taken his first kiss that night as well."

"You, you—"

After hearing this, Shoko Toyokawa's face suddenly turned red involuntarily.

"It's unreasonable!"

"...Okay, Xiaoxiang, there's no point in arguing with her about this."

Sanjiao Hatsuhua walked up to Toyokawa Shoko and patted her shoulder gently.

"Ever since she learned about Mr. Tetsuya's situation, she's been completely detached from everything else. She's even disregarded the law, not to mention her sense of shame."

"Humph, that's it."

"I'm not praising you..."

Seeing that Hoshino Ai had no intention of repenting at all, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but complain:

"No, this person is really impossible to communicate with... Hey, where are you going?"

Having already found the product room's door number, Hoshino Ai said without turning back:

"Go find Zhe."

"Huh?! No, you're not allowed to go!"

Seeing this, Shoko Toyokawa quickly stood in front of her.

"I will never let you go. God knows what you will do if you stay with Chihaya-nii!"

“…Hmm?”

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko's tough attitude, Hoshino Ai couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"Then tell me, what do you think I will do to Zhe if I go there?"

"What else can we do? Of course, we should do the same thing as that night!"

Toyokawa Shoko blushed and said:

"I've already told you that Chihaya-san is still working! Even if it's for him, could you please be patient for a moment?"

"What a guy who talks to himself."

After hearing what Toyokawa Shoko said, Hoshino Ai couldn't help laughing.

"When did I ever say... I was going to the production room to see him? I clearly just wanted to wait at the door until he finished his call."

"Eh?"

"But you, you excitedly said a lot of things you made up, and your face was so red... Look, you're not imagining that kind of scene, are you?"

Hoshino Ai asked with a smile:

"Or is it you who actually wants to do these things?"

"What did you say?!"

Toyokawa Shoko immediately glared at Hoshino Ai with an angry look on her face.

"I'm not as shameless as you!"

"Is that so? Then you'd better remember what you said."

Facing Toyokawa Shoko's angry stare, Hoshino Ai just said indifferently:

"If you ever can't help yourself and attack Zhe, you'll become as shameless as me."

"That's why I can't help myself!"

Toyokawa Shoko gritted her teeth and said:

"I will never do anything against Chihaya-nii's wishes!"

"Alright, alright...you two are being too loud."

Feeling that the volume of their voices was a little out of control, Sanjiao Chuhua came up to them while clapping his hands.

"Even though we're the only ones in the studio right now, Mr. Tetsuya is still on the phone. If he hears you arguing, it might affect his work... Ai."

"what?"

"You said it, right? Until the live in May, I will wait for Mr. Tetsuya to show you his 'possibility'."

Sanjiao Chuhua said to her calmly:

"If you can't even keep this level of promise, what do you think Mr. Tetsuya, who hates lies, will think of you?"

"..."

After hearing this, Hoshino Ai was slightly startled, then she turned her eyes away and said with an unhappy look on her face:

"Okay, I get it...I'll just wait here with you guys, okay?"

After that, she stopped bickering with Toyokawa Shoko and walked directly to Chihaya Tetsuya's workbench and sat directly in his seat.

"...How do you know his office location?"

"[KaZoKu]'s official website has his work photos, and you can tell just by looking at the background."

"…………"

It was clearly just a simple answer, but Toyokawa Shoko felt a subtle chill creep up her spine.

This kind of behavior of analyzing a person's information based on their photo background is obviously something that happens to those idols' fanatical fans, but I didn't expect that this guy, a popular idol, would actually do it himself...

(From now on, when Chihaya-nii sets up his own business, I will definitely be more cautious against her.)

Toyokawa Shoko thought so.

(Otherwise, she would definitely still be trying to get close to Chihaya-nii like she is now...)

Last time, he had managed to interrupt her before she succeeded, but if he didn't make it in time next time, with Chihaya Tetsuya's sense of responsibility, he would probably be forced to choose Hoshino Ai.

This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed!

In order to protect Chihaya Tetsuya and for her own future, she can no longer be as cowardly as she was that night!

"Huh, I've finally finished explaining everything... Ah, Chuhua is here, eh? Ai is here too?"

At this moment, Chihaya Tetsu finally walked out of the product room after finishing his work contact.

However, before he could greet the two guests, Shoko Toyokawa immediately stood between him and Hoshino Ai.

"...Huh? What's wrong, Toyokawa?"

"nothing."

As Toyokawa Shoko spoke, she and Hoshino Ai glared at each other.

"Chihaya, go discuss the clothes with Hatsuka. Leave the rest to me."

“Ha, haha…”

Although he didn't quite understand the deeper meaning of Toyokawa Shoko's behavior, he did discuss serious matters with Sanjiao Chuhua next -

"Chuhua, please come with me to the product room."

Under the somewhat stunned gazes of the three girls, Chihaya Tetsuya said:

"I have something to tell you alone."

Chapter 9: Being alone often exacerbates delusions

"Wow, I didn't know there was a place like this in the clothing studio..."

Sanjiao Chuhua walked into the product room and immediately began to look around at the various clothes with curiosity.

But soon, when she followed Chihaya Tetsuya slowly into the depths of the product room, she immediately withdrew her gaze.

"So... Mr. Tetsuya, what do you want to discuss with me?"

Sanjiao Chuhua asked:

"Even with such a resentful look in your eyes, you still want to talk to me alone. It must be something very important, right?"

"This...if you ask whether it's important or not, I think it can be considered important."

Chihaya Tetsuya's expression seemed a little hesitant.

"But I can't let Ai hear this question no matter what, so..."

"Oh, I know. I know."

Sanjiao Chuhua immediately nodded in understanding.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tetsuya, I will keep it a secret from Ai. If you have any questions, just ask!"

"Well, thank you, Chuhua."

After receiving the assurance, Chihaya Tetsuya immediately showed a relieved expression.

Then, he asked a question that made Sanjiao Chuhua very confused:

"Since that day... has Ai behaved in any unusual way?"

"kindness?"

After hearing this question, Sanjiao Chuhua was stunned for a while, and then asked back:

"Abnormal behavior? Or rather, there's no such thing as a normal time in love..."

"In comparison, in comparison."

Chihaya Tetsuya quickly added:

"Has she done anything recently that she never does before?"

"let me see……"

Sanjiao Chuhua gently tapped his chin with his finger.

"If I had to say anything special... ever since that day, Ai has made visible progress both mentally and at work."

However, Sanjiao Chuhua already knew the real reason for this progress.

"After all, she hasn't given up on her plans yet. It's no surprise that she's working so hard to achieve the most sensational performance possible at the May Live."

"...That's it."

After getting the answer, Chihaya Tetsuya did not look relieved, but became even more confused.

"In other words, the problem really lies with me..."

"?what is the problem?"

Sanjiao Chuhua cares about this very much.

In her opinion, any problem that even this optimistic and intelligent creator finds difficult must be extremely complex and difficult.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"This... I'm afraid no one can help except myself."

Chihaya Tetsuya smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Besides, discussing this with a girl is extremely rude, so let's end this topic here."
