It's a romantic comedy for everyone, so why am I the only one single?

"Eh? Hehe, hehe. It's because the senior wrote the song well."

Just as she had breathed a sigh of relief, Pochi couldn't help but scratch her head with a silly grin. Especially after noticing that Iura Hideya was also looking at her with a smile, she inadvertently became a meme again, and she couldn't be happier.

"By the way, senior, when are we going to meet the drummer and bassist that the shop manager introduced us to last time?"

Riding on the wave of confidence that came with the praise, on her way back to the teaching building, Pochi finally mustered up the courage to ask the question.

Seeing her expectant look, Iura Hide couldn't help but chuckle.

Boqi Jiang is different from him.

He writes and sings songs simply to make money, so he prefers to release songs online without even showing his face, rather than spending time and effort on performances.

After all, once you become famous, you'll be surrounded and talked about wherever you go, which would be too troublesome.

But Boqi-chan craves the feeling of being dazzling and in the spotlight in real life, so the band matter needs to be settled as soon as possible.

"Okay, let's do it after school tomorrow afternoon. Pochi-chan can come along too."

"Huh? Me, do I have to go too?"

"Of course, how can you know if you can get along if you don't meet them in person?"

"Okay, fine..."

Iura Shu's respect warmed Boqi's heart.

From childhood to adulthood, besides her parents and younger sister, only Hideki Iura has ever cared about her so much.

So even though she felt that it was up to Hideki Iura to make the decision and she didn't care what happened, she still agreed.

Of course, this was only because she had just received praise and compliments from 'so many people,' which boosted her confidence. Otherwise, in the past, she probably would have already found a box or a trash can to hide in.

"By the way, after school tomorrow, I'm planning to go to the recording studio to record that song. Do you want to come with me?"

"want!"

Boqi-chan immediately clenched her little fist and said with shining eyes.

This time, she didn't hesitate at all.

Even though the accompaniment is already prepared and she doesn't need to accompany it anymore, it would be nice if she could stay by Iura Hide's side!

The two afternoon classes passed quickly in my sleep.

As the bell rang to signal the end of the last class, Iura Hide seemed to have been recharged, and his whole demeanor became energetic again.

There was no way he could help it; the thought of seeing Kitagawa Kaimu soon was enough to make him incredibly excited.

"I wonder who Hai Meng will cosplay today?"

Filled with anticipation, as soon as the teacher left the classroom, he picked up his pre-packed schoolbag and, with Mashiro in tow, stepped out of the back door of the classroom.

Many people in the class witnessed this scene, but after only a few days, they had already become accustomed to it.

At most, the boys might be a little envious of Iura Shu for winning over Mashiro so quickly, a beautiful girl whose personality is a bit strange but whose looks and figure are no less than Hori Kyoko's.

The girls were suddenly struck by the fact that the husky, which they all shared, had already found a home, and they felt a pang of regret.

Only Sakura Kono, who knew the 'truth,' watched the two figures leave, her dark green eyes unable to suppress a glint of curiosity.

"Will Iura-kun continue spending time with Shiina-kun after school, or will he go to see his girlfriend from another school?"

"Dating two girlfriends at the same time."

"Won't this cause any problems?"

Iura Hide, who had already rushed to the stairwell, suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason.

But he didn't take it seriously.

It's just a sneeze, maybe Kitagawa Kaimu was thinking about him too?

"I remember Haimeng has to do chores today, right? How about we take Mashiro home and then pick her up from school?"

Hideaki Iura thought for a moment.

If you go to the convenience store to buy Mashiro a bento box and then take her home, it only takes fifteen minutes if you're quick.

Although it's not dinner time yet, it's okay. He can put the bento box in the microwave in advance, set the timer function, and let it start heating automatically around 5:30.

"Choosing pajamas and panties only takes a minute, so there should be enough time."

"As for cleaning Chihiro's room, let's talk about that next time! After all, I'm not her servant!"

Having made up his mind, Iura Hide immediately transformed into a true master of time management. From stepping out of the school gate to leaving Mashiro's house, every step went exactly as he planned, except for the moment when Mashiro was changing clothes in front of him, which made him pause the timer for two minutes. In the end, he finished everything in just 14 minutes and 52 seconds.

"I've set an alarm for you, so you can hear it even if you're in your room. Also, remember to wear gloves when you get your lunchbox to avoid burning your hands."

At the entrance, Iura Hide spent another two minutes patiently giving him detailed instructions on some important points before picking up his schoolbag and heading to Toyosaki High School as quickly as possible.

"It's only 3:54 now, Hai Meng shouldn't have left yet, right?"

In front of the gate of Toyosaki High School, Iura Hide, who had run all the way without changing his expression or panting, took out his phone to check the time, and then showed a hesitant look.

It was his first time picking up Kitagawa Kaimu from school, so he naturally wanted to give her a surprise.

Given Kitagawa Kaimu's intelligence, if he directly messaged her asking if she was at school, she would likely figure something out.

But what if Kitagawa Kaimu has already finished her chores and is no longer at school if we don't ask?

"Should we ask Sugaya Nowa?"

Iura Hide immediately thought of Sugaya Nowa, but then he dismissed the idea.

Although they had already talked things out last time, and even watched a performance together on Saturday, he still felt a little embarrassed to ask Sugaya Noi about something like this.

As for Yamada and Sato, their friends from junior high school.

"Let's not look for them!"

Feeling somewhat guilty, Iura Hide quickly rejected the two guys.

After all, if these two people find out, then Ishikawa Toru will probably find out soon too, and if Ishikawa Toru finds out, then their school will be in trouble.

As I said before, being popular can sometimes be quite troublesome.

But if no one helps him, even if he wants to check it himself, he can't get into the teaching building, since he didn't bring any spare shoes.

So after thinking it over, he finally decided to ask Sugaya Nowa for help.

Otherwise, he couldn't very well go to Kasumigaoka Utaha, could he?

! ”

Are you still at your school?

On the stairs leading from the second floor to the first floor of the teaching building, Sugaya Noiwa, who was chewing on a lollipop and discussing the latest manga plot with Ryunosuke while leisurely wielding a broom, heard a message notification sound suddenly coming from her pocket. She took out her phone, glanced at it, and then her eyes widened instantly.

"Ah?"

"Senior Iura!?"

"Why did he suddenly message me? And why did he ask if I was at school???"

"Hey, Naiyu, what's wrong?"

"nothing!"

After being stunned for several seconds before snapping out of her daze at Ryune's voice, Sugaya Noi quickly suppressed her doubts and replied as fast as she could:

"Um"

"I'm at school."

"Is there something you need my help with, senior?"

"Um...it's nothing, I just wanted to ask if Hai Meng is still on duty at school?"

"So you were looking for Hai Meng."

Sugaya Noiwa, who had been feeling nervous, excited, and expectant, suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon, and the light in her eyes dimmed involuntarily.

However, she soon realized something was wrong. After hesitating for a moment, she finally gritted her teeth and chose to tell the truth.

"Hai Meng isn't on duty today."

"She was supposed to be on duty today, but she asked Ryune to cover for her, and she left as soon as school was over."

Chapter 112 Counterproductive Effects

"What? Hai Meng didn't have her duty to clean up, and she left right after school?"

When Iura Hide saw the message sent by Sugaya Noa at the school gate, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Then his first thought was, could it be that Kitagawa Kaimu also wanted to give him a surprise and secretly went to their school to wait for him after school?

However, he quickly dismissed the guess.

Kitagawa Kaimu's departure may not necessarily be to see him; it could be work-related.

If Kitagawa Kaimu really went to their school to find him, she should have known by now that he had already left as soon as school was over.

In this situation, Kitagawa Kaimu would probably send a message to ask where he is and what he is doing, right?

But the truth is, Kitagawa Kaimu never sent any messages.

So the most likely explanation is that Kitagawa Kaimu had something else to do, which is why she asked Ryuno to cover her duty and left in a hurry as soon as school was over.

However, to confirm his guess, he still sent a message to Kitagawa Kaimu, wanting to ask her where she was.

However, just over ten seconds later, after he had already turned around and walked more than ten meters away from the entrance of Toyosaki High School, Kitagawa Kaimu's reply made him pause again, and he unconsciously stopped in his tracks.

"I'm at school."

"Is it duty today?"

"At school? On duty? Why would she lie to me?" Iura Hide frowned.

That's right, his first reaction was that Kitagawa Kaimu was lying. It wasn't that he didn't trust Kitagawa Kaimu, but rather that Sugaya Noi had no reason to lie to him.

In fact, Sugaya Noi also frowned when she saw Iura Hide's reply, "Oh, I guess I remembered it wrong."

"Hey, Ryune, when Haimeng asked you to cover her duty earlier, did she say what she was going to do?" Sugaya Noi turned to Ryune and asked.

"No, I didn't ask, and she didn't say."
