People bring their own maids to the training camp

“No problem, I’d be happy to be the supporting character to Chihaya!” Honami said with a smile.

"Honestly, don't drag me into everything!"

“That won’t do. What do you think is the biggest selling point of this magazine?” Hayasaka said, hands on his hips. “If we can sell 20 copies without your name, we’ll consider it a success.”

"The first issue sold well, didn't it?" Fanbo asked curiously. Although she had joined the fan club, she hadn't become a "working person" like Asako Amakura, so she didn't know much about the parts of the magazine outside of its content.

"There are 200 copies available for sale, and demand exceeds supply," Hayasaka explained to Honami. "We plan to add another 50 copies for the next issue."

"That's not bad." Fanbo calculated that there were probably less than 500 students in the three grades combined, so selling 200 copies was indeed quite good.

"Yes, we have also promoted our products in the commercial area, and many shops have purchased them and even wanted to advertise them."

"The coffee shop that everyone frequents lately is doing quite well, and it has become the second most popular coffee shop after Palette," NetWarehouse added.

"There's really nothing we can do about the color palette; it's the closest one, after all," Hayasaka shrugged. "It's a pity we can't charge advertising fees; we can only use vouchers or discount coupons."

"Oh right, I forgot to mention the issue of payment for Ichinose's cover shoot."

144. I am Chihaya Himegami's dog!

"Oh right, I forgot to mention the payment for Ichinose's cover shoot," Hayasaka suddenly said.

"Huh? You don't need any payment, right?" Fanbo didn't expect to be paid for just taking a photo, and quickly waved his hand to refuse.

“No, according to custom, all staff members are paid. We can’t break that custom for Ichinose-san.” Hayasaka Kazumasa firmly rejected Honami’s idea of ​​not wanting payment. “Your payment is—Chihaya will treat you to dinner!”

"Okay, I'll accept this reward!" Fanbo immediately changed his mind after hearing this.

"I don't mind, but could you ask for my opinion next time? Even just to go through the proper procedures." Chihaya said, both amused and exasperated.

“It’s alright, you don’t have the right to refuse, Ms. Himegami.” Hayasaka deliberately put on a serious face and said, “The organization has already decided that you will be in charge of this task.”

"It's clearly my own fan club?"

"That's right, although it's called the Himegami Chihaya Support Group, Himegami Chihaya isn't the president, I, Hayasaka, am the president! I have unlimited power—ouch, that hurts!"

"How many teachers does your little one have?" Chihaya smiled and held up the brick-like dictionary in her hand, revealing a "kind" smile.

“What’s wrong with being a dog? I’m Chihaya Himegami’s dog!” Hayasaka changed her tactics, flexibly switching sides, “I’ll bite wherever you point.”

"...Fanbo, let's go. I don't really want to talk to her anymore."

"Hahaha..." Honami was quite used to this. Hayasaka would occasionally pull off some outrageous things, always trying to shock people.

"Alright, Xiao Ai, you can schedule a time with our photographer now."

"Isn't Hayasaka the photographer?" Honami asked. In her memory, Hayasaka always insisted that Chihaya be the lead actress and that she would be the director. Coupled with Hayasaka's strong drive, Honami believed that Hayasaka was the photographer.

"No! Our photographer is very professional! He also has a digital camera and experience in shooting portraits. He's much better than me, so Chihaya poached him with a high salary."

"Wow, a digital camera? You're really willing to spend money on that!" Fanbo couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. Although you can buy anything at the Beech Tree Shopping Center, buying a digital camera was still a bit surprising for a high school student.

“She’s the eyewitness from Class C and Class D last time,” Chihaya whispered to Honami. “She’s a girl from Class D, right? But she did agree to be the photographer because she was short-handed in that area.”

"No wonder." Fanbo nodded in understanding. "But having professionals around certainly makes things much easier, right?"

“Yes, so we can finish in one afternoon, and then Chihaya will treat you to dinner~” Hayasaka laughed. “You can already think of where to eat in advance, right? At this point, even if you suggest eating king crab, Chihaya won’t refuse. As a rich woman now, she can definitely afford it. But if the two of you can’t finish a whole one, you can call me and I’ll help you with that.”

"President, even Class 2-B can hear your calculations," NetWarehouse complained.

"Mind your own business when it comes to pretty girls!"

"Am I not a beautiful girl?" Netware immediately retorted.

"What do you think?"

Netkura looked at the people around her: Chihaya Honami was in the top two, Hayasaka was also a stable top five, and even she herself was not sure if she could make it into the top five beauties of Class B.

Online warehouse: QAQ Comparison is the thief of joy.

"In short, that's how it is. Sakura was prepared a long time ago. She was grateful that we paid her wages in advance, but she was also very anxious because she had no work to do."

"That's definitely a possibility," Fanbo nodded. "So, this weekend then?"

“It should be fine,” Hayasaka said. “Sakura-san doesn’t have a club, so she has more free time. It mainly depends on whether Chihaya has any last-minute plans.”

"What last-minute arrangements could I possibly have? I don't have any club activities on weekends." Now that Chihaya's status has risen, the archery club no longer requires her to attend training sessions. However, Chihaya is still quite conscientious and doesn't actually skip training—but she selectively skips the weekend morning training sessions.

Whether they are young ladies or young masters, they all hope to sleep in, especially after five consecutive days of classes.

"Hmm, a cover featuring Chihaya shooting an archery would be a pretty good design," Hayasaka said, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "How about Ichinose-san kneeling to the side in a kimono, with various tea utensils on the coffee table, pretending to be brewing tea?"

"It's not really suitable as a cover." Chihaya shook her head after hearing this. "But you could use it as an illustration or something."

"I'll arrange it once I think of the accompanying content," Hayasaka silently noted the idea in his mind.

----split line----

The magazine, created under the name of Chihaya's fan club, was extremely popular among first-year students and basically became a mainstream topic of conversation.

He even bought a copy of Ryuen's magazine—according to him, Himegami Chihaya was very interesting, and he bought it to study the enemy's situation.

Albert and Ishizaki were willing to believe this, but Ibuki was less so.

"Hey Longyuan, you didn't fall for that concubine because you got close to her, did you? What's the point of a grown man like you buying this kind of magazine to look at girls' outfits, makeup, and skincare routines?"

"This is boring, so isn't this just watching interviews related to the handsome men rankings?" Ryuen looked up and smiled at Ibuki. "So, which one are you interested in? I'll help you get in touch. If you dare to refuse, I'll have Albert beat you up."

"..." Ibuki made Ryuen laugh in exasperation. "I think we need to reflect on our loss to Himegami! Not study our opponents in magazines! You can't possibly be trying to weaken Class B by researching her hobbies and then winning her over, can you? If so, I can only say you're a complete idiot!"

"If you want to get a beating, you can continue." Ryuen, with his legs crossed, glanced at Ibuki and leisurely turned a page of the magazine in his hand. "Chasing after a rich girl like that? It's impossible to succeed, but researching her interests is a good starting point. It might come in handy later—Sakagami said that too, right? There will be some luxury cruise after the final exams, and there will definitely be some special exams then."

"So what can we possibly research from this?" Ibuki asked, puzzled. "Isn't this just something they use to make money?"

"Make money? At this price and with this many students, you can't make much money at all." Long Yuan scoffed. "It's a pity we couldn't find any evidence this time, but I'm certain now that this person will never go all out to help Class B!"

145. "Is she pretty?" "She's absolutely gorgeous."

Because of its willingness to try new things and innovate, the "Four Seasons" coffee shop in the Beech Tree Shopping Center has become incredibly popular.

In response to the sudden increase in customers, the store has launched a "Coffee Recommended by Chihaya Hime" – which is basically the latte that Chihaya often orders.

All lattes in the store are 10% off, and you can get a 15% discount if you show the magazine.

Yes, the coffee shop doesn't care if you're a fan of Chihaya Himegami or not; as long as you show them the magazine, you can get a discount—after all, it's essentially for promotion, not for checking ingredients.

You can borrow a copy from someone and use it to buy coffee, or even three or five people can show each other a magazine.

Chihaya happened to pass by the nearby cafe one day and saw that the music playing was Antonio Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons," which is also the origin of the cafe's name.

As Chihaya approached, a light and cheerful melody was playing—Shikishun (Four Seasons Spring).

As is customary, the Four Seasons Suite will be played in the order of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

So he decided to go in and have a cup of coffee before going back to his dorm, since what he bought today wasn't fresh produce that needed to be put in the refrigerator immediately.

The shop assistant smiled as soon as Chihaya entered the room.

"Vanilla latte, hot."

"Coming right away!" the clerk replied enthusiastically. "The manager said that from now on, you'll get a 50% discount on everything you do at the store."

"Then why are you so embarrassed?"

"Please find a seat first, and I'll bring it over in a bit."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Chihaya looked around. There weren't many empty seats, but there were some. The main problem was that there weren't any small tables in the corners anymore, and he didn't want to occupy a large table by himself.

He then settled on a two-seater seat where an acquaintance was sitting, with an open magazine on the table.

Chihaya glanced at it from afar and saw her own "beautiful photo." Without a doubt, this was a magazine produced by the Chihaya Himegami Fan Club.

Seeing her opponent's high ponytail, Chihaya suddenly felt playful and decided to tease her a little during the duel.

Chihaya approached the girl silently and then leaned over her shoulder.

"Is she pretty?"

"It's so beautiful!" the girl exclaimed instinctively. "Wow! Himegami-kun?!"

"Kindness, Karuizawa-kun," Chihaya greeted with a smile. "Was there ever a moment when you thought I had jumped out of a magazine?"

"It's not that exaggerated..."

"May I sit here?" Chihaya pointed to the chair opposite Karuizawa.

"of course can!"

So Chihiro sat down opposite Karuizawa.

"What do you think of this magazine, Karuizawa-kun?" Chihaya casually started the conversation with the magazine spread out on the table.

"I think it's great! The makeup and outfits are all fantastic, and I feel like it's going to become popular among girls—everyone seems to appreciate Chihaya's aesthetic sense."

"I'm truly flattered," Chihaya said with a smile.

Soon, Qian's cilantro latte was delivered.

"The spokesperson is really something else; the store clerk actually delivered it to us," Karuizawa laughed. "Such high treatment."

"How about Karuizawa-san, you try being a model?"

"Me? No way, no way!" Karuizawa waved her hands repeatedly. "A selfie is fine, but if I actually let the camera point at me, my expression will definitely be unnatural! It will be so stiff!"

Moreover, she has some unspeakable difficulties, so she is naturally not suitable to be a model.

"Is that so? Then I won't force you." Chihaya nodded. "Actually, the plans for the next few issues of the magazine are for a girl to shoot the cover with me. I think Karuizawa would be very suitable."

"Thank you for your kind offer, Princess, but I'll pass—perhaps you could try asking Kushida and Horikita?" Karuizawa suggested two girls from Class D who were generally considered to be close to Chihaya.

"We might invite them next, but it depends on the theme of the shoot," Chihaya said with a smile.

“That’s true.” Karuizawa nodded. “Everyone’s been talking about this magazine lately; the content is really rich.”

"I'm so glad you like it; then all our efforts won't have been in vain."

"I almost missed out on buying one, it's really in high demand."

"It seems there is such a problem. After all, there aren't many students on campus, and it's the first issue, so we didn't print a lot of copies at once. I was actually quite surprised that all 200 copies were sold out," Chihaya said. "But no problem, we'll send a copy to Karuizawa-kun in the next issue too."

"Eh? Is it really possible?"
