Chapter 92: The person who can become my mother!

"That's okay..."

Matsueda Azusa muttered, "I might not even be planning to continue with the band anyway."

Shizuka Hiratsuka was startled when she heard this and looked at Azusa Matsueda in confusion: "What's wrong? Why are you saying something like that all of a sudden? Didn't you invite me to form a band yesterday? Why are you planning to give up music today?"

Songzhi Zi didn't want to explain, and just casually said: "It's all because Xiaojing didn't agree to form a band with me. If Xiaojing didn't form a band with me, I wouldn't form a band! So it's Xiaojing's fault that I gave up music!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka stiffened her fist and lightly punched Matsueda Azusa on the head. "Be serious! Seriously, you're so dishonest all day long. You act so cunning and deceitful about something you care so much about. Others won't care about it after seeing this."

Songzhi Zi was silent for a moment, curled his lips, and whispered back: "No matter how much I pretend to care, people who are not supposed to care will always not care. So it doesn't matter to me!"

"You kid..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her head helplessly, not knowing what had happened to this kid and how he ended up like this.

After thinking seriously for a moment, Shizuka Hiratsuka finally made up her mind and patted Azusa Matsueda on the shoulder: "Alright! I'm really defeated by you, little brat. After all, I'm your teacher. Okay, then I'll tentatively agree to form a band with you, but you have to find the other members first."

"Really?"

Matsueda Azusa looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka in surprise.

I didn't expect her to actually agree. Although it's hard to say whether it was a temporary measure to appease him, but... being able to do this is already good enough.

"of course it's true."

Hiratsuka Shizuka raised her index finger and gently tapped Matsueda Azusa's forehead. "Teacher, when have I ever lied to you?"

Matsueda Azusa covered his forehead with his hands, looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with emotion, and couldn't help but sigh: "That's great...Xiao Jing. If I were ten years older, I would definitely pursue you."

So touching.

Shizuka Hiratsuka is the person who can become Azusa Matsueda's mother!

Wait, so, Matsueda Azusa was shocked...could he have an Oedipus complex?

Sure enough, children who come from families that lack love always tend to have this tendency.

But then again…if Matsueda Azusa wasn't Shizuka Hiratsuka's student, she probably wouldn't care so much about him. Although it's hard to imagine what kind of person Shizuka Hiratsuka would be with, Matsueda Azusa thinks it would be nice if Shizuka Hiratsuka was really her mother. (Huh?)

"You little bastard, you're teasing the teacher, aren't you?"

Veins popped out of Shizuka Hiratsuka's forehead as she fiercely strangled Azusa Matsueda's neck with her arms. "Let me be frank, if you want to form a band, you have to put your heart into it. Since I've been dragged into this, you can't just treat it like a game!"

At this moment, Hikigaya Hachiman and Komachi arrived at the gate of Sobu High School together.

Unexpectedly, apart from Matsueda Azusa, they were the first two to arrive.

Matsueda Azusa thought that based on Hikigaya's personality, he would definitely be the last one to come.

Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes met with Matsueda Azusa's, and he instantly understood what she was thinking. With a blank look in his eyes, he explained, "Komachi got up early this morning and dragged me here... By the way, why is Hiratsuka-sensei here too? Are you coming with us today?"

Matsueda Azusa was firmly restrained by Hiratsuka Shizuka's powerful arms and could not move. She was about to explain a few words, but the next moment a brilliant idea suddenly popped up in her mind.

Without thinking, he blurted out, "Hey, Hachiman! Want to form a band together?"

"what?"

Hikigaya Hachiman had a completely bewildered expression.

Why did the topic suddenly jump to this point? Did they come to school today to discuss band matters? Did he travel to another parallel universe when he woke up this morning?

No, no, Hikigaya Hachiman quickly shook these wild thoughts out of his head. After all, he couldn't play any instruments at all. How could he form a band? This was a joke.

And seeing that Matsueda Azusa seemed to have made up her mind on spur of the moment, she probably wouldn't be too obsessed with it. Hikigaya Hachiman immediately prepared to refuse.

But before he could say anything, Hiratsuka Shizuka beside him let go of Matsueda Azusa and slapped her on the arm: "Good idea!"

Songzhi Zi grimaced in pain: "Xiao Jing! This is my arm! Why don't you hit your own?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka gave him a perfunctory apology, then looked at Hikigaya Hachiman and said, "Hikigaya, this is a great opportunity. Forming a band with friends in high school is a very youthful thing, isn't it? When you grow up, this will be a very precious memory."

Youth is nothing but a lie made up by those who desire rebellion and seek excitement!

Hikigaya Hachiman muttered in his heart, but on the surface he just scratched his head, turned his face away guiltily, and was about to refuse.

Are you kidding me? He even dared to refuse Matsueda Azusa's invitation. Is he afraid of a cricket like Hiratsuka Shizuka? Hikigaya Chaoyong is good.

"Eh?! Onii-chan, are you going to form a band? Komachi is so excited!"

However, at this moment, Hikigaya Komachi said happily: "If Onii-chan could perform on stage, it would definitely be very cool! This point scored very high in Komachi's heart!"

"puff!"

Hikigaya Hachiman was shot in the heart.

Oh no, it's bad! I didn't expect the enemy to be in Honnoji!

If Hikigaya Hachiman could still fight to the death under the threats and inducements of the president and the teacher... then he would be completely unable to withstand the critical blow from Komachi!

Looking at Komachi's hopeful eyes, Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't bring himself to say no.

Could this also be part of the minister's conspiracy?

Azusa Matsueda reached out and grabbed Hikigaya's shoulder, while Shizuka Hiratsuka grabbed his other shoulder.

The two began to whisper devilishly: "Come on, join our band! You don't want to disappoint your dearest Yimoduo!"

At this point, I can no longer say no.

Facing the kind smiles of Matsueda Azusa and Hiratsuka Shizuka, as well as Komachi's hopeful gaze, Hikigaya Hachiman shed tears of blood: "I... I agree..."

"Great!"

Matsueda Azusa punched hard.

That way, a small three-person band is complete! He plays guitar and vocals, Hiratsuka Shizuka is the bassist, and all that's left is for Hikigaya Hachiman to handle the drums!

Although it is basically impossible to become a drummer quickly...but now that he has joined the band, Matsueda Azusa will definitely make the impossible possible.

Hellish devil training is waiting for Hikigaya Hachiman!

"Come on, Onii-chan!"

Komachi also cheered up Hikigaya Hachiman, "No matter what, Komachi will always be Onii-chan's most loyal fan! When she has a live show, Komachi will definitely drag her classmates to support Onii-chan!"

Having solved two major problems at once, Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled broadly and rubbed Azusa Matsueda's head. "Very good. We'll discuss the band matter in detail later. You can go to team building first today. I won't bother you, teacher."

After saying that, Shizuka Hiratsuka walked into the school humming a song with a brisk pace. Matsueda Azusa could still hear her mumbling to herself, "Oh my, I'm such an open-minded teacher. I've decided. I'll treat myself to a bowl of Land, Sea, and Sky Deluxe Ramen on the way home."

Hikigaya Hachiman sighed deeply, then suddenly thought: "Come to think of it... Did Hiratsuka-sensei just say... 'our band'?"

Matsueda Azusa nodded. "Yes, Xiaojing has also joined our band, just now. As of now, our band only has these three people. You are not only a veteran of the club, but also a veteran of the band, Hachiman!"

Hikigaya Hachiman twitched his lips. This didn't seem like a good thing...

It would be better if it weren't.

Soon, the others also arrived at the school gate one after another. Matsueda Azusa had originally thought that Numizu Kazuhiko and Yanami Kyouna might not come to participate, but she didn't expect them to come as well.

It seems that everyone in the Department of Supervision of Improper Relationships between Men and Women is very team-spirited.

"Yoshi! Now that everyone is here, let me share the information I've gathered."

When Songzhi Zi saw that everyone was gathered, he clapped his hands and spoke.

93

Chapter 93 Is this Xiaoxiang, the customer service representative who works in an e-commerce company?

Everyone gathered together, and Matsueda Azusa quickly described the general situation based on the information sent by Yukinoshita Yukino.

After hearing this, Miura Yumiko immediately commented, "So, in fact, it seems that Kawasaki's staying out all night isn't because he's in a relationship, but more likely because he's working part-time to supplement his family income."

Although Matsueda Azusa had sworn yesterday that this situation was definitely caused by Kawasaki Saki's love affair, the next day the investigation results directly contradicted her statement. This shows that Matsueda Azusa is actually the one with the real love brain.

Kawasaki Daishi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but his expression quickly shifted to worry. After all, not being in a relationship with a delinquent was a good thing, but working all night long didn't seem much better. Besides, he still had no idea why Kawasaki Saki was working so hard.

At the same time, Wen Shui He Yan thought for a moment and then raised his hand politely and asked: "If that's the case, then is this matter still under the jurisdiction of our club, Minister?"

Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes lit up when he heard this. Exactly. Onomizu Kazuhiko was practically his mouthpiece. If Komachi hadn't been watching closely from the side, he would have asked the same question.

If it wasn't their business, then couldn't they just go home and go their separate ways? A warm bed and a half-read light novel were still waiting for him at home!

Although Onmizu Kazuhiko asked this, Matsueda Azusa naturally could not give up today's action just like that.

He crossed his arms and activated his causal skill: "Since we're here, we can't just meet here and disband right here, right? It would be nice if we could just assume we're exercising the Student Union's authority and, by the way, expand our club's purview."

Upon hearing this, Yumiko Miura shrugged and expressed her support: "I have no objection."

She was just there to watch the show, so who cares? She had finally gotten up early to come here, so it would be foolish to leave now. Not only would she not get a good night's sleep, but she would also have wasted her train ticket money. It was a pure loss.

Since Minister Matsueda Azusa had spoken, Numizu Kazuhiko and Hikigaya Hachiman were naturally powerless to resist. In addition, with Kawasaki Daishi's pleading look, no one dared to suggest disbanding on the spot.

Hikigaya Hachiman racked his brains to come up with an excuse and said, "But, speaking of which... aren't there too many of us? If I count carefully, there are actually seven of us. If Kawasaki-san really works at the store, it would be embarrassing to see such a large group of us rushing over to look for her."

This wasn't an excuse he made up to avoid going; he'd actually considered it when the group dispersed yesterday. After all, if he were the student working part-time without telling his family, he certainly wouldn't want a bunch of strangers rushing out to cause trouble.

"Hachiman, you're very thoughtful. I'm really pleased, Chief."

This was indeed true. Matsueda Azusa nodded affirmatively and gave him a thumbs-up. "So I plan to split up. After all, after a rough investigation, besides the bar where the night shift is working, there are several other possible shops. They're not all that close to each other. If we act together, we might be a bit rushed, so it's more appropriate to act separately."

"As for the 'Angel's Staircase' bar... after all, it's the kind of place where children shouldn't go. And it's a bit too late, so it's dangerous for girls to be out there late at night. So my idea is that just Hikigaya, Onmizu, and I can go together."

After thinking for a moment, Songzhi Zi added: "However, considering that your house may have access control, it doesn't matter if the two of you can't come. It's also okay for me to go alone."

Wen Shui and Yan Yan thought for a moment and said with some embarrassment: "Well... If I stay out too late, Jiashu might be unhappy. I may have to go back early tonight. Sorry, Minister."

Upon hearing this, Hikigaya Hachiman also cast a hopeful look at Komachi. Seeing her gaze, Komachi smiled without hesitation and nodded at him. Hikigaya Hachiman thought she understood what he meant and couldn't help but feel touched. She was indeed his beloved Ichimoku.

But before he could be happy for long, he heard Komachi say the next second: "Onii-chan, I'll leave it to you and Matsueda-senpai. Come on! Komachi will cheer you on at home."

The Hikigaya was sunk in an instant. Not only did they have no excuse to flee, but even their escape route was blocked by Komachi. Damn it, when did Komachi become such a ruthless, black-hearted person?

Matsueda Azusa nodded. "Very good. Since everyone has no objections, I'll assign the tasks. I've sorted out the shops we're going to explore, and they can be roughly divided into maid cafes, izakayas, and other categories."

"The first one is less dangerous and safer, suitable for taking children. If you don't find the target, it's also nice to play there. I'll leave this to you, Hachiman. You'll also be responsible for keeping an eye on Komachi and Kawasaki-kun, is that okay?"

Hikigaya Hachiman naturally had no objection. Compared to other options, this one was indeed very good.

"As for izakayas... you might run into some tough guys, but luckily it's not open to customers right now. Even for 24-hour establishments, there probably won't be many people around before lunchtime. So generally speaking, it shouldn't be a big deal. You can talk to the staff or the manager and ask about the situation. I'll leave this to you, Wenshui."

Matsueda Azusa continued to distribute: "As for the last major category, I'll take care of it. Um... Miura, which one do you want to go to? Pick one yourself."

Miura Yumiko snorted and spread her hands. "Other teams operate with multiple people, so we can't let you run around all by yourself."

"that is real good."

Songzhi Zi smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

Miura Yumiko was so frightened that she stumbled back, looking at Matsueda Azusa in confusion: "Huh? Was it you who was talking just now? Or was I hallucinating because I didn't get enough sleep?"

Onmizu Kazuhiko seemed about to say something, but Yana saw that Kyoko spoke before he could, so she stopped him: "Got it, Buchou! I promise to complete the task!"

Then she pushed Wen Shui He Yan hard and whispered a reminder: "Such a good atmosphere! You don't want to interrupt? Learn to read the atmosphere! The atmosphere!"

After assigning the tasks, Matsueda Azusa sent the store addresses to everyone and then started to act separately.

Azusa Matsueda and Yumiko Miura took the subway to the e-commerce customer service company that Yukinoshita Haruno specifically mentioned.

Although he always felt that the guy had bad intentions and might have prepared some big shock waiting for Matsueda Azusa...but since the other party had already made a move, he couldn't just ignore it.

We have to find out what that guy is up to.

Jumping into a trap knowing it was a trap was indeed foolish, but judging by how well Matsueda Azusa knew Haruno... if the fun she wanted to see was deliberately avoided by her, she probably wouldn't give up. The result would be the same if she dragged it out, so she might as well take the risk now.

Miura Yumiko checked the information related to the e-commerce company and casually asked, "Come to think of it, although I don't know much about these companies. However, those izakayas and cafes are okay. After all, they are not big, so it's easy to ask if there is a certain employee. But these large companies... generally speaking, it seems difficult to investigate. They probably won't disclose employee information casually."

Matsueda Azusa thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

But Yukinoshita Haruno wouldn't trick him there just to give him a cold shoulder, right?

It shouldn't happen.

Songzhi Zi thought about it and could only answer: "Anyway, let's go there first to see the situation."

Yumiko Miura shrugged noncommittally.

After a while, the two arrived at the e-commerce customer service company.

Matsueda Azusa went to the front desk and tried to ask, but before he could finish his explanation, the receptionist showed a look of surprise: "Mr. Matsueda, right?"
