I have pure love with them

Izumi doesn't need to worry too much now, but Mrs. Chihaya finds it difficult to let go of her worries about her daughter's future.

304. What kind of adult would get angry with a child?

On the way to school, Chihaya Aine was ready to speak several times, as if she was going to ask Izumi some questions, but after she opened her mouth, she stammered and couldn't say anything. After hesitating for a long time, she finally lowered her head in silence.

'What could I tell her? That your brother is having an inappropriate, unhealthy relationship with your former bandmate?'

Although he noticed his sister's reaction, Izumi didn't want to explain his relationship with Nagasaki Soyo. And if he told her about the relationship between Izumi and Nagasaki Soyo, Chihaya Aine would have to stand on Nagasaki Soyo's side for some time and start to work on his thoughts.

"Will you go home early today?"

When it was time for them to go to school separately, Aine, who had been keeping her head down, slowly raised her head and looked at Izumi beside her and asked.

"Today? I think there's nothing going on. I'll go home early."

After hearing Aine's question, Quan filtered it in his mind. What he needed to do today was to record a program at school. Apart from that, there was nothing else to do. After school, he should be able to go home directly.

"Ah."

After receiving Izumi’s answer, Aine simply looked at him with some suspicion and replied softly, not seeming to really believe it.

"It seems that my words no longer have any persuasive power over Aine."

Izumi chuckled in his heart and didn’t explain anything. After arriving at the platform, he smiled and said goodbye to Aine temporarily, and left for school first.

"..."

Looking at Izumi's leaving back, Aine, who was still on the train, felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

When Izumi arrived in the classroom, he found that everyone else in the classroom had already sat down in their seats early. He looked towards Goto Ichiri's seat. The girl, as usual, had her head buried in the table, as if she was asleep.

"Maybe she's just taking a nap... Let's not disturb her today."

Quan entered the classroom and slowly came to his seat. Then he opened the window, letting the cool morning breeze blow into the classroom. The white curtains rippled with the wind.

"After a while, the temperature will rise again."

Quan, who had just arrived at the classroom and had not yet thought about what he was going to do, habitually looked at the sky outside the window. Gazing at the blue sky, he often felt a sense of peace in his heart.

"Chihaya-kun, do you know what today's 'event' is about?"

He slowly looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw Akatsuki Ci standing beside his desk, looking at him with a smile.

"Ayatsuji-san, don't you know?"

"I tried to ask the teacher before, but he didn't reveal what the event was. Chihaya-kun... don't you know what today's event is about?"

Generally speaking, if it is an ordinary activity, when telling students about the activity, the specific content of the activity would be revealed. But this time, nothing was revealed, which made Xuanji Ci feel more and more wrong. So in order to be prepared, after some inner struggle, she decided to try to ask Quan.

But when she asked, she subconsciously felt that Izumi might not tell her the words of Ayatsuji, and her words still retained a part of provocation, which made Izumi's look at her seem a little subtle.

"I'm just a student, why would Ayatsuji think I would know?"

Without giving a direct answer, facing the deliberate provocation of Xuanji, Izumi's expression was indifferent. He did not tell her anything about the "event" because of her little thoughts. He just looked at the girl with a smile and asked back with a smile.

"Being able to become a freshman representative shows that Chihaya-kun is extraordinary. Even if we are both students, there is a big gap between him and ordinary students. That's why I am a little curious about whether Chihaya-kun learned about the content of this event from other places. Now it seems that Chihaya-kun did not receive any special treatment."

To Izumi, the provocation of Akatsuji was like a spring breeze and had no effect at all.

"If thinking this way can make Ayatsuji-san, who failed to become the freshman representative, feel better, then there's nothing wrong with that."

"..."

Xuanji Ci's smile froze on his face, and he stared at Izumi fiercely for a while, and then his mood seemed to return to normal, and he spoke with a forced smile -

"I don't take that matter to heart at all."

Staring at her spring, smiling without saying a word.

"..."

After failing to get any information about the event from Izumi, Akatsuki Koto was traumatized again and quietly returned to her seat.

"Are you okay? If you provoke Ayatsuji like this, aren't you worried that she will secretly follow you on your way home and push you off the platform?"

I don't know when Hiroto Shioyama came to the seat. After Ayatsuji Ci left, he finally dared to take a deep breath, but he still asked Quan in a low voice.

"Mr. Ayatsuji is a student with good behavior and would not do such a thing. But when did you enter the classroom? I didn't notice you at all."

"While you were talking, well, it's normal for you to not notice an ordinary male student like me when you were talking to a beautiful girl's class leader. I don't mind."

Hiroto Shioyama waved his hand gently, showing his magnanimity.

Looking at Quan, he was also speechless for a moment.

"But it's already Friday, can't we tell everyone what the event is about?"

"It's already Friday, let's wait a little longer."

Taking various factors into consideration, Quan felt that the recording of the program might not start until the afternoon, and in the morning, he would probably be making some preparations.

'It may be that after school yesterday, the students left the school and were ready.'

A group of people were playing hide-and-seek in the school, and Quan didn't think the show would have any publicity effect for the school.

For ordinary parents, honor is obviously more convincing and attractive. Quan does not think that simply appearing on an entertainment program will change the reality of the school's low deviation value, and the right to choose a school is generally not in the hands of students.

"Well, these have nothing to do with me. I just need to do my own thing."

Gathering his scattered thoughts, Quan adjusted his mindset, and his expression became easy-going again.

The only thing he was curious about now was the guests who would appear in this recording of the show, and he didn't know who they would be.

"If it's Gakki, I wonder if I can ask her for an autograph..."

305. Time for Adults

In the morning, most students had already noticed something was wrong. Many courses that were originally held outdoors were moved to indoor courses. Even courses that were supposed to be held in other classrooms were moved to the classroom. Something was obviously wrong, and some students couldn't help but look out the window into the campus.

But before the program actually started recording, the production crew's actions on campus appeared very covert, and no obvious filming equipment was exposed. All the students could see were some strangers walking around the campus.

"It always feels so weird, I don't know what kind of activity it will be."

Hiroto Shioyama and Izumi were both sitting by the window in the classroom. When everyone else was looking outside the classroom, Hiroto Shioyama couldn't resist his curiosity and glanced into the campus, but he didn't find any clues. Then he withdrew his gaze and looked at Izumi, who was sitting in the seat behind him with a nonchalant look on her face.

"Aren't you curious at all? Even if you already know some clues, don't you feel any anticipation in your heart?"

Looking at Izumi who was not moved at all, Hiroto Shioyama occasionally felt that the person in front of him was not a teenager of the same age as himself, but more like an old man in his twilight years. His reactions seemed dull and he could hardly see any major emotional ups and downs in him.

"Hmm? It's not as exaggerated as you say, right? For this event, I still have some expectations... maybe?"

After hearing Hiroto Shioyama's evaluation of himself, Izumi, who was thinking with his head down, was a little surprised. Then he looked up and met the boy's gaze. After looking at Hiroto Shioyama for a moment, he slowly gave his answer.

After staring at Izumi for a while, Hiroto Shioyama shrugged his shoulders.

"You can't tell at all."

It was not until noon, during the lunch break, that the students were still discussing things related to the activities. Some of them even suspected that they had been deceived by their teacher.

Originally, Izumi was going to go to the library with Goto Ichiri, but before he could even leave the classroom, he was called to the teacher's office.

When Quan left the classroom, Xuanji Ci subconsciously looked at Quan's back. As he watched Quan leaving, Xuanji Ci always felt unwilling to be treated as a defective product in his heart, and he couldn't help biting his lips.

"If I win... I just need to beat him next time and prove that I'm better."

Feeling unwilling but helpless, Akatsuki Kotsuji could only comfort herself in her heart. Then she slowly withdrew her gaze and continued chatting with the girls around her.

"This is the producer of the program, Mr. Takao Ueno. Today, we are filming the program at my school, and Mr. Ueno is in charge. Mr. Ueno, this is Chihaya I talked to you about. How is she? Doesn't she look like an idol?"

When I entered the principal's office, I saw the familiar principal, as well as a strange middle-aged man sitting in the principal's office and talking to the principal.

After Quan entered the office, the principal smiled and introduced the middle-aged man in the office to Quan, and also introduced Quan to the other party.

As the program producer, Takahiro Ueno, under the introduction of the principal, slowly looked at the boy who entered the office. His gaze lingered on the other person, observing his expression and movements, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"It is indeed as the principal said. You have great potential to become an idol. I heard that Chihaya-kun was ranked number one in the country when you were in middle school?"

As someone who is in the entertainment industry, Takao Ueno has seen countless people and many young students, but it is extremely rare to find a boy like Izumi who exudes confidence and yet is restrained.

"Yes."

Looking at the producer who was in charge of recording the program today, Quan nodded slightly to him.

"It's quite impressive. Being the best in the country, even just once, is something that people would be very excited about. When I was young... Well, do you need me to explain the content of today's program to him?"

"Although I have explained it in general terms, it might be more effective if Producer Ueno explains it in more detail."

The two middle-aged men looked at each other, then smiled and began to explain the content of the program activities taking place on campus today.

"There are a total of 6 guests who will hide in the campus today, and all the students in the school have 20 minutes to search for these guests. If all of them are found, all the teachers and students in the school will share a prize of 100 million yen."

After he finished speaking, Takao Ueno glanced at the principal, who just chuckled and said nothing.

Obviously, the program team has reached some kind of interest relationship with the principal, and this 100 million yen bonus has nothing special to do with the students.

"Hmm...Isn't it possible that he was going to use this 100 million yen to fulfill the agreement he made with me earlier?"

"After you left school yesterday, the guests had already started preparing. They had figured out how to hide themselves and were ready. They could start directly in the afternoon. The focus of this event is on you, Chihaya-kun."

Takao Ueno took out a piece of paper from his arms and slowly handed it to Izumi.

"Here are the hiding places and hiding methods chosen by the guests. Write them down. This show will depend on Chihaya-kun's performance."

"..."

Looking down at the map handed to him, Quan looked at the principal again, who smiled at him.

"I always feel a little bit like I'm being looked down upon... Never mind, this development is not that surprising."

After looking around the principal's office and confirming that it was not a prank by the program crew, Quan slowly walked up to the producer, took the map from him, and looked at the key information on it.

"..."

After a quick glance, he memorized the general content.

"Noted. May I know who the guests will be attending this show?"

The map was returned to the producer, who looked at Quan with some surprise.

"Did you remember it so quickly?"

"Ah."

“This is really surprising.”
