“…Are you asking about the price of this?”

"Ah."

"It's not that expensive... 1 yen."

Under Izumi's gaze, Fujita Kotone suppressed her pain and told him the price she had paid.

Although the current hourly wage in Tokyo is set at over 1,000 yen, you know... Fujita Kotone is just a student and a part-time worker, so it's hard not to feel heartbroken by the expense of 18,000 yen.

After hearing what Fujita Kotone said, he nodded slightly, then took out his wallet, took out two 10,000 yen bills, and handed them to the other party.

"It's enough that you have such a thought. As for the yokan, just think of it as something I bought for you."

"Huh? Wait!"

Seeing the 20,000 yen handed to her by the other party, Fujita Kotone was stunned. Then she opened her eyes wide and spoke in a panic.

"You work so hard to make money, right? Now you spend so much money on these yokan, which will affect your life. I don't want to see you on the street next time, covered with snowflakes, holding an extinguished match in your hand, and without any vital signs."

"Am I the little match girl?!"

"No, you're the little girl selling 'beep--'."

"Why did you automatically mute yourself?! And I'm just... I'm just a clerk, selling goods for the convenience store manager!"

"It makes no difference, does it?"

Fujita Kotone, who was sitting opposite Izumi, was already getting annoyed. She opened her eyes wide and stared at the boy in front of her, as if she wanted to use her fist to give him a facelift.

"They are all different, okay?! Damn it... you're really infuriating!"

But Quan, who was being glared at by the girl, looked calm and composed, as if he was not affected at all.

“Are you an idol?”

"…No…Why do you know?"

Just when Fujita Kotone was getting angry and wanted to say that she would never become a little girl selling "beep——", Izumi's words made her calm down all of a sudden, and she looked at Izumi with a vigilant look.

"When you fainted yesterday, your student ID fell out of your bag."

"..."

Fujita Kotone was a little skeptical. She remembered that her bag should be zipped up. Did her student ID really fall out?

"Why do you ask this?"

Fujita Kotone suddenly became alert when Izumi suddenly asked about her idol-related purpose.

"I've never seen an idol who works part-time and faints on the street."

"..."

Although she wanted to refute, Fujita Kotone didn't know where to start, and she fell silent.

"Actually, I do know... well, I can't really say I know them, but I've met some idols before, so I'm a little curious if you know them."

"..."

Fujita Kotone pricked up her ears immediately, and reasonably suspected that the "contact" he mentioned might be a "negative" "contact".

476

Chapter 476 You are in the room, don't make any noise.

Upon learning that Izumi had contact with seniors in the idol industry, Fujita Kotone suddenly became interested and asked about the identities of Izumi's two seniors.

"Amami Haruka and Kisaragi Chihaya."

The two unfamiliar names made Fujita Kotone look confused. Under Izumi's gaze, she shook her head, indicating that she did not know these two people.

"What is your relationship with these two idol seniors?"

The girl had no impression of the two people mentioned by Quan. After she said that she did not know them, her eyes fell on Quan again, and she became curious about their specific relationship with Quan.

Without any reply, Quan just shook his head slightly under the gaze of the blonde girl.

"Is the cost of idol academy very high?"

"Eh?"

The topic changed suddenly. Fujita Kotone stared at the boy in front of her in a daze, not knowing why the other party suddenly asked this question. But under the other party's gaze, Fujita Kotone hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"The tuition at the academy is about the same as that of a private school, but it should be a little more expensive than an average private school..."

When answering, Fujita Kotone's eyes became vague. She kept smiling on her face, but the expression she revealed seemed a little gloomy.

It can be seen that the tuition fees have caused her a lot of pressure in life.

"You're asking me this question all of a sudden. You don't want to enter the Idol Academy and become an idol, do you? Although you do meet the requirements to become an idol in terms of appearance, we are an all-girls school and we don't accept male students."

But the girl's mood was only low for a moment, and she quickly cheered up again. She looked at Izumi in front of her, and figured out why Izumi asked her about the school fees, and then she started to admonish the boy in front of her.

Izumi, who was misunderstood as entering the idol academy to become an idol, was stunned for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared on her face.

"I have no interest in becoming an idol, but since you are a student at the Idol Academy, you should be able to dance and act, right?"

Fujita Kotone, holding the teacup in both hands, always felt that the other person's smile was somewhat malicious.

"I know a little bit about dancing and acting..."

The girl's eyes were wandering. Due to her frequent part-time job, she was always in poor condition during class, so that her grades in school were very low. Now facing Quan's question, she looked a little embarrassed.

"Renting a girlfriend, have you ever heard of this job?"

"Rent...a girlfriend?"

Fujita Kotone, who is still a student and still immersed in a part-time job, has never heard of such a job, but she can vaguely guess the general content of this job from the name of this job.

Her cheeks suddenly turned red, and she opened her eyes wide, staring at Quan in front of her.

"Wha, what do you mean?"

"I already have a girlfriend, so I'm not interested in renting one, but I want to experience what it's like to be a father."

"..."

Before Fujita Kotone could recover from her speechless state, Izumi raised two fingers at her.

"Two hundred thousand yen."

Fujita Kotone, who was about to refuse by moving her cherry-soft lips, choked back the swear words that were about to come out of her mouth, and looked a little surprised.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand yen?"

The fair neck trembled slightly, and an expression of struggle appeared on the girl's face.

This was already two months' income from her part-time job. It was hard for her not to be tempted, but... thinking of the other party's request, Fujita Kotone still couldn't agree.

"Isn't his request that his father be alive? No... such a thing cannot be agreed to."

Biting her lip, Fujita Kotone was about to reject the other party.

A stack of banknotes was pressed on the table, attracting Fujita Kotone's attention. The girl's sight was attracted by the brown banknotes, and her thoughts went blank.

……

"Did any guests come today?"

Nagasaki Shoyo looked at the cut yokan and two people's tea cups on the table, and looked at Izumi lying on the sofa with some confusion.

"Well, I helped someone before, and today he came to give me a thank you gift, so I simply entertained him."

Nagasaki Soyo came to the dining table and was clearing the teacups. He looked at Izumi lying on the sofa, lowered his head, picked up the teacup and took a look. He found a layer of crystal lipstick marks on the rim of the cup.

'Another girl?'

After placing the teacup in the sink and wiping and cleaning it carefully, Nagasaki Soyo placed the teacup in the cupboard. She then came to Izumi's side and looked at him lying on the sofa. She gently leaned over and pressed against his chest.

"tired?"

While asking Quan, she sniffed his chest, but did not smell any female scent.

accident.

Nagasaki Soyo was prepared to smell a strange feminine scent, but he didn't expect that Quan had no interaction with that girl.

"In a warm environment, it's easy to feel sleepy... I already want to rest."

"Where's dinner?"

"…We really need to prepare dinner."

Izumi covered his eyes with his left hand. After hearing Nagasaki Souyo's reminder, he slowly sat up, opened his arms and hugged Nagasaki Souyo in front of him, feeling the warmth from the girl, and then went to prepare for today's dinner.

Just as Nagasaki Soushi was watching Izumi preparing dinner and thinking about helping Izumi, he suddenly heard Izumi speak.

"By the way, there is something I want you to help me with."

Nagasaki Shoyo, who rarely heard Izumi need his help, looked at Izumi who was preparing dinner.

"I rarely hear that you need my help, what is it?"

"Tomorrow, help me make an appointment with Miss Ruoye. I have something to discuss with her."

The smiling expression froze on Nagasaki Soushi's face. She looked at Izumi who was busy behind the kitchen counter, was silent for a moment, then smiled and agreed.

"Yeah, I see. After school?"

"Yeah, after school."

Although no one knew what Izumi was planning to do when she asked Wakaba Mutsu to meet him, from Nagasaki Shoyo's perspective, anything related to Wakaba Mutsu would be a bad thing for her.

"As expected, it's something related to 'her'."

The only person that Nagasaki Shoyo could think of who could have an intersection between Ruoye Mu and Izumi was Toyokawa Shoko.

But regarding the matter of Toyokawa Shoko, she no longer wanted to have any contact with her.

"There's no need to keep the video of that day...right?"

A gloomy look flashed in Nagasaki Shoyo's eyes. She pursed her lips and a faint smile gradually appeared on her face.

"Quan, after dinner... I have a video I want to show you."

"Ah."
