Tokyo: Idol Girls have absolutely no bad intentions!

Just as Ito was wondering what mischief the other was up to, Mori suddenly stood on tiptoe and brought his face close to Ito's.

Fortunately, Ito was paying close attention to the other party's every move. He reflexively took half a step back, thwarting the other party's attempt to take advantage of him.

Too dangerous.

Ito wiped away non-existent cold sweat, almost making herself unclean.

"You!" Mori was furious at missing out on a kiss from Ito. She unleashed a full-force attack on Ito's already aching abdomen.

"Senior, you really should die!"

Ito clutched her injured abdomen, curled up in a ball, and watched the white knee-high socks gradually disappear into the distance.

Careless.

The sound of loafers clicking on the ground came from behind, and Takikawa's black canvas bag swept across Ito's shoulder.

"Tsk~" Takikawa's voice was teasing as she walked past Ito, leaving only the words, "He brought it on himself."

Asada then squatted down in front of Ito. Just when Ito thought the other party would care about him, he saw a look of doubt in Asada's eyes as she delivered the final blow that killed Ito.

"Ito, how did you manage to mess this up?" She shook her head, her bangs swaying with the movement. "Trying to take everything is definitely not a good idea."

After saying this, she disregarded Ito's life or death and quickly got up to follow Takikawa.

The Little Theater on the Title Page of Chapter 134

The classroom atmosphere remained lively, perhaps because Ms. Toji was wearing a black tight-fitting short skirt and high heels that didn't flatter her figure.

But there is another possibility...

"Teacher, we reviewed the 'Edo Period' last week."

Mr. Toji pushed up his red glasses, which had no prescription, and tapped the blackboard with a pointer he had somehow acquired.

"Teachers don't make mistakes. According to the teaching plan in March, today's lesson is about the Edo period."

I already said it was a second-year course.

As if they had lost all strength to resist, they could only resign themselves to listening to the lessons from the Edo period once again.

I wonder what kind of magic the Edo period held for Totsugi-sensei.

"Ito." Repeating the same lesson would make people lose interest, and Takikawa poked Ito's arm with his pen out of boredom.

Ito glanced at Mr. Totsugi, who was still giving a passionate speech on stage, and lowered his voice, "What is it?"

You'd better really have something to do.

"Is that for sale?" Takikawa pointed to the instrument case containing the Butterfly Bass behind him. "It must be very expensive."

Something's wrong, nine out of ten things are wrong, she...

Ito perked up; after all, it concerned the operating funds for the next phase, and he couldn't afford to be careless.

Takikawa is dangerous!

"What are you trying to do?" Ito scrutinized the entertainer, who clearly had ill intentions.

"It's going to be sold, isn't it?" Takikawa repeated, her light blue eyes reflecting the instrument case.

It felt like I was sinking into it completely.

In order to help Takikawa improve his grades, to leave him with an unforgettable school experience, and most importantly, because Ito couldn't bear to see anyone lose focus during Totsuki's lecture.

“Teacher.” Ito suddenly stood up, startling Takikawa out of his dazed state.

"Oh~" Mr. Toji's eyes lit up with satisfaction. "What brilliant idea do you have, Ito-kun?"

Brilliant insights? Looking at the portrait of Tokugawa Ieyasu displayed on the PowerPoint presentation, where would he get his insightful opinions?

“That’s right. Takikawa told me that after listening to the teacher’s lecture last week, she went back and studied the relevant historical materials carefully, and now she really wants to share them with her classmates.”

His expression remained unchanged, but Takikawa, sitting next to her, noticed his pupils widening and his mouth opening unconsciously.

Me? Thoroughly read? Share?

Is there anyone else in the class with the surname Takikawa?

If Ito's reputation is undeniably terrible, then Takikawa is the other extreme. She had already amassed a huge following before entering school, and after entering the school, she reached new heights with her superb two-faced performance.

This led to everyone readily believing Ito's statement that Takikawa was well-versed in historical materials.

Even if it's something that's obviously fake to a normal student.

The classroom was filled with expectant gazes directed at Takikawa, making him feel awkward for a moment.

"Really? Takikawa-kun." Mr. Toji clasped his hands together as if he had found a kindred spirit.

"Really, really." Takikawa forced himself to stand up, grabbing Ito as he was about to sit down.

"Huh?" Ito, who had just succeeded in his plan, was grabbed by the arm by Takikawa, and his expression changed from gloating to disbelief.

No way.

When Ito's gaze met the resolute look in Takikawa's light blue eyes, alarm bells went off immediately.

"Mr. Totsugi." Takikawa's voice wasn't loud, but every word he spoke was a challenge to Ito's limits. "I want to act in a short play with Ito-kun."

"Really?" Ms. Toji clapped excitedly, her red glasses slipping down to the tip of her nose. Her expectant gaze made Ito unable to meet her eyes.

"I......"

Just as I was about to refuse, Mr. Toji's innocent smile stopped me in my tracks.

"Ito-san doesn't want the film club to..."

The threat was blatant; she didn't even bother pretending anymore.

“However, this is not an unconditional performance.” Teacher Toji changed the subject. “If you perform well, I’ve decided to praise you and grant you both a small request.”

Please don't treat me like a child. It's clearly Ms. Toji who looks more like a child.

"Hurry up and perform, Ito!" someone shouted from below.

"Fight like a man."

"Please don't hold Takikawa back."

"..."

Since things have come to this, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and go on stage.

Hopefully, Takikawa won't ask him to perform a difficult and embarrassing little skit.

But did she really prepare any lines for the short drama?

Thinking of this, Ito couldn't help but look at Takikawa, who confidently took out his phone with a pendant from the drawer and turned to the title page, which read "Edo Yokai Romance Guide".

Could it be that she's planning to act in that little skit on the title page?

As if to confirm Ito's guess, Takikawa turned her head away and held the screen of her phone with the script in front of Ito, a sly smile playing on her lips.

He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The Edo Shogunate is still a shogunate."

The short story on the title page is indeed based on real history, at least that's what Nao Yoshida said.

Because the short film on the title page would be used as a promotional video, Ito also practiced it.

But Takikawa doesn't have any scenes! In the first few scenes, she doesn't even have any lines. She actually disregards her own image in order to drag him down with her.

It's too cruel.

They were invited to the stage, and the students thoughtfully moved their desks back, providing them with ample space to perform.

After stepping onto the podium, Takikawa handed his phone to Mr. Toji, a gesture that made Ito raise an eyebrow slightly.

I memorized all the lines, while Takikawa...

On the podium, Mr. Toji crossed his left arm over his chest and flipped through a script on his phone with his right.

“Oh~ so this is the story~” Her gaze towards Takikawa and Ito became subtle. “It seems quite suitable for you two.”

Indeed, when he first read the script, he felt that the role originally intended for Asada in the small theater was more similar to Takikawa.

Both are exceptionally beautiful girls, with similarly pure and lovely appearances, like fairies who stepped out of a painting.

Furthermore, as a charming fox spirit, Takikawa, with her better figure, should be able to better showcase her characteristics than Asada.

And most importantly, in terms of personality, he felt that Takikawa was stronger.

He waited alone for a hundred years, watching the person he loved die in front of him, yet he could still pretend nothing had happened and tease the other person.

In that respect, her personality is somewhat similar to Mori's, no wonder the male protagonist falls in love with every girl he meets.

"Are you ready?" Toji put down his phone and looked at the two people standing opposite each other.

They nodded in turn, thus beginning the first indie performance of "Edo Yokai Love Guide" in a small theater.

After the mini-theater in Chapter 135 ended

The little skit on the title page is very short, consisting of only a few simple sentences.

Ito plays a ronin swordsman in the Edo period, which is actually just a nicer way of putting it.

To be precise, they were samurai who were expelled from the family register.

Takikawa plays a fox spirit who enjoys helping patients.

In fact, Ito still doesn't understand the connection between fox spirits and saving lives.

The story begins (you can skip this part; the short skit is completely meaningless and boring, really).

Ito used the stick he borrowed from Toji-sensei as his katana to support his almost shattered body.

He looked at Takikawa, who was slowly approaching him, with an extremely dangerous gaze and an imposing aura that warned strangers to stay away.

"Don't move." The fox demon, played by Takikawa, frowned and took out a bandage (handkerchief) from the medical kit (black canvas bag).

She poked Ito's shoulder with her hand. Ito's forehead was covered in cold sweat (which was not actually there), and he pursed his lips, trying hard not to cry out in pain.

But Takikawa's actions became increasingly excessive, as if he found it very amusing, until Ito finally couldn't help but let out a muffled groan before he stopped.

"I thought you weren't in any pain at all." She glanced at the other person sideways, then reached out to take off his shirt.
