"As expected, I'll pass on the club idea."

"Ah~"

Yamada Ryo pouted, her round eyes widening and sparkling.

Mingze Feng reached out and gently flicked her forehead.

Yamada Ryo winced and covered his forehead, glaring at him with a pitiful expression.

Mingze Feng continued, "Playing the victim won't work. Even if we're not at school, I'll still go on stage with you to perform. We can play the piano together at home, in the basement, just like before."

"That's different..."

Yamada Ryo muttered to himself.

She doesn't want to go home. She just wanted to keep Naruzawa Kaede around for a while after school, which is why she wanted to start this club.

Performances and the like are no longer needed.

The bass sound is enough for Feng to hear.

Yamada Ryo hung her head. She thought that if she asked, Narusawa Kaede would stay. Just like how Narusawa Kaede had gone to [Starry Night] every night last week to see Manager Ijichi.

As long as you ask, Feng will agree.

"..."

But that's precisely why Yamada Ryo didn't want to speak up—because Narusawa Kaede would always agree if he asked.

Ah Feng, why don't you just say you want to sleep with me and we'll do it together!

His racing thoughts made Yamada Ryo feel a bit irritated. Even the cake he'd already taken a bite of suddenly seemed repulsive.

Yamada Ryo used force with his fingers, driving the fork deep into the cake.

It's all... Feng's fault!

Dongdong——dongdong——

A short knock sounded on the door, and Yamada Ryo instinctively called out, "Sawako-sensei, the door isn't locked."

She's the only one who's come here these past few days, and she doesn't project the image of a teacher she usually does.

Perhaps because she had previously made a big fuss in front of the two of them, in any case, for a reason unknown to Yamada Ryo, Sawako-sensei seemed completely unburdened when she came here to drink beverages and eat cake.

Hmm? When would a normal woman feel comfortable eating and drinking other people's food without any guilt?

Yamada Ryo raised an eyebrow and looked at Narusawa Kaede.

Could it be? Has the "scumbag halo" activated?

When Lao Feng was at school, the two of them were never more than two meters apart. Even when she went to the toilet, she would wait outside.

Could they possibly raid my base like this?!

Thinking about this made her feel even worse.

Even when they looked at the open door, their expressions were far from pleasant.

The person who opened the door was not her and Mingze Feng's homeroom teacher.

Squeezing through the crack in the door was a blonde girl with a side ponytail. She held a piece of white paper in her hand, and her previously relaxed smile froze completely when she met Yamada Ryo's terrifying gaze.

“Nijika?” Yamada Ryo’s expression returned to calm. “Come in and sit down.”

Yamada Ryo wasn't good at dealing with Ijichi Nijika; rather than being pestered for closeness, she preferred to give Nijika a seat first.

When the club was formed last time, Yamada Ryo had already felt the girl's overflowing enthusiasm.

This enthusiasm was clearly directed at Yamada Ryo.

But Yamada Ryo felt that... Ijichi Nigatsu was acting strangely.

Her previous club was dissolved worldwide due to her semi-dropout status. During that time, although Narusawa Kaede didn't usually go back to school, Ijichi Nijika would offer to stay at her house overnight, and the two of them would play jokers in the classroom, things like that...

If you really want to say it.

Friend, I guess... well, probably.

"Ah, Liang... I thought you were going to eat me up just now because of your expression."

Ichiji Nijika breathed a sigh of relief, but remained tense. From the moment she entered the room, she carefully avoided any possible contact with the man beside her.

Seriously, seriously

I'm here to help Liang. Her... club members are always recruiting people to join clubs at school, aren't they?

【Yes, I'm here to help Liang】

Mingze Feng couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

Does she think she's very calm?

Mingming's legs had been trembling non-stop ever since she entered the room.

Fortunately, Yamada Ryo didn't look closely, otherwise he would have definitely noticed something amiss.

Yamada Ryo was still thinking about her teacher and chatted with Iji Chikatsu, her mind preoccupied.

As Naruzawa Kaede disappeared from sight, Ichiji Nijika gradually found her footing, a smile as familiar as ever appearing on her face.

Shaking his head, Mingze Feng went to get drinks and cake.

"Ah...ah, thank you...wait, you're here, haha, long time no see, Brother Feng! By the way, you're still in junior high? How have you been these past few days...?"

What is she so nervous about? Is it Hinata Ijichi? If I reply to her, will she faint?

Naruzawa Kaede nodded to her, and even after sitting back down on the other side, he couldn't help but wonder if Ijichi Nijika was in the class next to him and Yamada Ryo? Naruzawa Kaede had looked into that when he went to recruit people into the club before.

Even if they did meet and exchange information, the most recent time was only a week ago. At that time, he was holding Mu's hand on one hand and Ling's hand on the other... And in the past week, Mingze Feng has been going to Fanxing every day, but Yiji Zhihongxia didn't stay overnight there and didn't notice.

Snapped--

The crisp sound echoed in the room, and two bright gazes were cast upon her. Ichiji Nijika smiled sheepishly and lowered the hand that had slapped her face.

"Where were we? Oh, right, Minister!"

It was as if nothing had just happened.

Ichika Nijika's energetic voice echoed in the classroom. She handed over a club membership application form and exclaimed, "Let's play music together again!"

"No."

Yamada Ryo refused without even looking up.

Nijika Ijichi fits her criteria for a club member. But... there's no need for that.

Although he could mentally separate Ijichi Hoshika from Ijichi Nijika, Yamada Ryo was still somewhat meaningful to the guy who occupied Narusawa Kaede's body all night long.

It would be better to send her sister away.

Nijika Ichi shouted, "But aren't we short-staffed?!"

Yamada Ryo shook his head. "Well, they're about to disband."

Ichi Nijika froze, her ahoge (cowlick) spinning around on her head.

Naruzawa Kaede's gaze followed the spinning ahoge (cowlick), wondering in his mind if Ichiji Hoshika had this skill.

"Ah?! Why!"

"Um... excuse me, is this the Light Music Club?"

The door was pushed open again, and this time a brown-haired girl walked in.

Facing the gazes of the three people in the room, Ogiso Setsuna nervously rubbed her fingers together, but thinking of the purpose of her trip, she still cheered herself up in her heart.

"I heard recently that Kaede is recruiting club members, right? Although it's the third year of junior high, most people don't join new clubs anymore. Well, I mean, I also have tutoring classes to attend, but I asked Ms. Sawako, and she agreed..."

Mingze Feng interrupted her incoherent words and asked:

"Kogiso-kun. Please calm down. What brings you to this classroom?"

"call..."

Xiao Mu glanced at him gratefully, then handed him the same piece of paper.

"I'm here to apply to join. Although it's not nice to say I'm just a ghost member, I'd be happy if I could help everyone."

Ichika blinked, then clapped her hands, suddenly realizing. That's it!

She turned her head and looked at Yamada Ryo.

"It's cold, me too!"

Chapter 74 From the Three-Person Light Music Club to Stars

The interviews, naturally, took place within the club and were conducted by the club president.

Yamada Ryo usually pushes out any kind of work, but this is an exception.

On ordinary days, whether it's feeding drinks and cakes, or getting up early to comb her hair and get dressed, Yamada Ryo always seems to completely entrust herself to Narusawa Kaede. If it weren't for the fact that she doesn't need help going to the toilet, Narusawa Kaede would almost treat Yamada Ryo like a doll.

However, dolls don't need to go to the toilet, so there isn't much difference between the two.

This complete intimacy and dependence has always been both exhausting and enjoyable for Mingze Feng.

It's mostly about enjoyment.

After talking with Ogiso Setsuna, Yamada Ryo was extremely satisfied with the girl. She had to attend tutoring classes after school and made it clear that she wouldn't be there on weekdays, but Ogiso mentioned that if needed, she would do her best to come and help with the teacher's checks.

This is exactly the chosen ghost employee that Yamada Ryo wanted!

As for Ichi Nijika.

"I...I have an older sister who owns a shop, and I can provide a live performance venue!"

Yamada Ryo almost couldn't help but sneer.

Doesn't Ichika Niji know that her sister's shop is practically turning into a love nest for her sister and Narusawa Kaede?

Okay, she doesn't know.

Why not just call the police and have them arrest that woman?

Thinking this, Yamada Ryo subconsciously looked at Narusawa Kaede.

As Naruzawa Kaede was seeing Ogiso off with a cheerful smile, she turned around and met Yamada Ryo's gaze.

To be honest, I didn't quite understand it.

This seems like a good opportunity to sow discord between Ijichi Hoshika and others.

"..."

Naruzawa Kaede accepted it. If he couldn't manage the relationships within his harem, the problem lay with him, of course. However, Naruzawa Kaede believed that as long as he was willing to try, there would always be a way.

After getting a cake from the refrigerator, Naruzawa Kaede noticed that Yamada Ryo had composed himself somewhat when he approached them.

She nodded to Ichiji Nijika.

"Our club needs someone like you, Hongxia!"

Naruzawa Kaede pushed the cake in front of Ichichi Nijika and said with a light laugh, "Welcome to the club, have some cake. Would you like a drink or milk? We also have coffee; I recently learned how to make coffee, but I'm not very good at it yet."

Just as Ichiji Nijika was about to speak with a smile, Yamada Ryo interrupted their conversation with a loud shout.

"Hey, Maple... I haven't had my drink yet."

"I haven't mastered it yet. I'll feed you after I've made it and given you some to drink."

"Oh..."

After saying that, Yamada Ryo lowered his head and ate the cake on his fork in small bites.

Ichi Nijika saw that Narusawa Kaede had sat down opposite her, tilting his head and silently observing Yamada Ryo as he ate his cake.

Behind Narusawa Kaede and Yamada Ryo, outside the large classroom window, was a clear blue sky.

Sunlight streamed in from afar; the classroom had no curtains, so the light fell directly from the windows.

Only two elongated shadows remained on the table.

And the cake that Ichiki Nijika didn't touch.

The room was peaceful and serene, and the classroom seemed to hold only the two of them.
