Tokyo: Idol Girls have absolutely no bad intentions!

"I don't know about that." The girl shook her head. "It's just a rumor. Some people have seen them meeting in the office."

So this is probably a rumor too.

Although I really want them to stop slandering me, it's not just about my reputation.

But then the girls suddenly fell silent, and then one of them raised her voice incredulously:

"I also saw him being intimate with a girl in an empty activity room."

"I heard from the dance club that yesterday after school, they saw a girl tackle Ito to the ground."

Thoughts raced through Ito's mind. His own reputation didn't really matter, but what if it affected others?

Besides, Nagano Sae is currently in a relationship, and Moriue is only pretending to be her girlfriend.

"I think Ito is just getting cocky because he's handsome. Normal women wouldn't be interested in him."

"It's a match made in heaven!"

Laughter broke out again, and Ito couldn't bear to listen any longer. He pulled Fujikawa to the back of the old school building.

He had a gloomy face the whole time, and even Fujikawa could tell that he was in a bad mood.

"Hey, Ito, so you realize it now, right?" Fujikawa put away his usual unreliable demeanor and adopted a composed attitude. "This matter has become so serious that it absolutely must be resolved."

“Hmm.” Ito nodded in agreement, his gaze fixed on the ants on the ground.

Seeing his expression, Fujikawa lost his will to lecture him.

"So what are you planning to do now?" Fujikawa looked at the other person's profile. "This isn't just about you alone."

"I never expected to encounter such a mess after entering the third year. Before, although there were rumors about you, most of them were directed at you personally."

Fujikawa continued, "They're still in school, yet they speak so viciously; this could easily be considered bullying."

"How could someone be so malicious in their assumptions about a girl?" Fujikawa clenched his fist as he spoke. "How could someone as well-behaved as Asada do such a thing!"

"Besides, if all the stage actors are embroiled in scandals, doesn't that just show that I, as the president of the film club, have terrible taste?"

Even without this incident, your judgment wouldn't be much better.

Rumors similar to those from school days can really cause great harm to the person involved.

If not handled properly, the problem may seem to be solved, but it can also create serious hidden dangers.

Even though they are adults, they should be aware of these kinds of things and have the ability to distinguish right from wrong.

Even if you listen to it as a joke, it can still have a residual effect on your subconscious.

"Have you ever encountered a similar situation before?" Ito threw a piece of candy into the ant colony.

“Yes, it does happen.” Fujikawa recalled, “Elementary school, junior high school, any time, any place, similar things could happen.”

"Since I came to this school, I have participated in more than one workshop on dealing with this kind of thing."

"So what happened?" Ito watched as an ant discovered the candy and was calling its kin.

"I'm sorry," Fujikawa shook his head apologetically, "In my opinion, not a single one was successfully resolved."

"Either it ends with the person involved transferring schools; or the source of the rumor cannot be found, and a clarification can only be issued; or no one believes the truth, leaving the person involved..."

Fujikawa didn't say the rest, but Ito could foresee the outcome.

A silence fell over the two of them; neither spoke for a moment, only the sound of ants crawling on the ground could be heard.

"And this matter involves more than one victim. Although you can ignore the most serious cases, they are always more troublesome."

"Damn it, those rumor-mongers." Fujikawa scratched his head in frustration. "And Ito, you have a lot of problems too."

"If this were said to anyone else, I'd think it was utter nonsense. But it's very fitting for you. You also bear a lot of responsibility for this outcome."

Listening to Fujikawa's complaints about what he had done and heard, Ito did not refute her. He watched as swarms of ants carried the candy.

"Do you know which class those girls were in just now?" Ito asked casually.

"What are you planning to do?" Fujikawa became wary. "I know, but you're not going to do anything stupid, are you?"

"If I really wanted to do it, I just did it."

"so......."

"You just need to tell me, as for the rest..." Ito patted his trouser leg, the liquid in the water glass sloshing around.

"I'll figure something out."

The light pierced through the gaps in the branches and shone on the other person's black hair, and Fujikawa frowned.

"You idiot, what's with this awkward thing to do?" He slapped Ito hard on the back. "No matter what, protecting the actors is the most important thing for a director."

"Don't think about trying to tough it out on your own."

"..." Feeling a large hand slapping his back, Ito let out a muffled groan, "You're taking this opportunity to get revenge, aren't you!"

"N-no, how could that be?" Fujikawa reluctantly withdrew his hand.

This guy did it on purpose; I was almost moved.

"It's getting late, I'll head back now." Fujikawa turned around and stared at Ito seriously. "Remember to tell me if anything happens, and don't try to handle it all alone."

"This is definitely not something one person can solve alone. If you come up with a solution, please tell me as soon as possible."

"understood."

After parting ways with Fujikawa, Ito returned to the classroom, just as Fujikawa had said, he absolutely could not succeed on his own.

Moreover, when it comes to matters of reputation, his reputation is utterly unreliable.

But finding someone with strong credibility isn't easy, especially since they've all recklessly provoked Sae Nagano.

so......

"Takikawa-kun, the teacher wants to see you."

"it is good."

Ito turned around, and Takikawa's chestnut-brown hair obscured his view, making it hard to look away from her beautiful figure.

Chapter 152 "Takikawa's Magic Part 1"

Anna Takikawa, that name came to mind.

When it comes to popularity at Hibiya High School, if Anna Takikawa is second, no one would dare to claim first.

Just like before, even though she had never been to the school, she would still become a long-standing topic of conversation on the forum.

Any post that includes her name can trend on the hot search list.

Even Ito's grandmother, Hara Yuriko, who was hospitalized at the time, had heard of him.

Judging solely from his reputation, Takikawa is undoubtedly a top-tier figure.

Since her debut as a child star, perhaps due to her age, she has never been involved in any negative news.

The biggest negative news was that because she had to work, she was only nominally enrolled at the school and hired a private tutor.

However, this issue was alleviated during her school life after the cultural festival, and she even attracted a new wave of fans because of the short videos she filmed every week.

Although I hate to admit it, thinking about it this way, Anna Takikawa's reputation is indeed better than Ito's.

Seeing that Takikawa was about to leave her seat, Ito reached out his hand, trying to stop her.

But then I thought about the other party's attitude yesterday, and the misunderstanding had not been cleared up.

His hand stopped in mid-air, without touching the other person's clothes.

I'll wait until class to find an opportunity to talk to her.

"Ito-kun, what are you doing?" The girl who had called for Takikawa to go find the teacher noticed Ito's actions.

Ito's pupils contracted unnaturally for a moment, and he quickly withdrew his hand, wanting the other person to stop talking.

However, the other party did not understand the meaning behind Ito's expression, and instead became even more confused.

"Is there something you need from Takikawa-kun?"

These words caused Takikawa, who was almost at the classroom door, to stop in his tracks, but only for a moment before he left the classroom.

"I just wanted Takikawa to ask Totsugi-sensei a few things for me." Ito breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Takikawa didn't seem to hear him. "But after thinking about it carefully, I think I'll go by myself."

"Hmm." The girl nodded knowingly, and then left the area.

"Phew~" Ito relaxed his shoulders, thankfully his reckless behavior had not caused serious consequences.

It's best to clarify things with Takikawa privately. From other people's perspectives, it always feels like there will be more misunderstandings.

Moreover, Takikawa would definitely respond to Ito because she wanted to maintain a ladylike image in front of others.

If one were to make a request under such circumstances, it would inevitably carry a hint of coercion.

But when the school bell rang, Takikawa still hadn't returned to the classroom. The other students gradually went back to their seats, and the conversations gradually faded away.

The first class was math class, and the math teacher was a middle-aged man with glasses who had a distinctly classy air about him.

Ito's impression of him was that he was a very negative guy, but he was a decent person.

It wasn't just because he didn't speak loudly, nor did they discipline Ito's sleeping behavior, but also because some little stories often happened during Ito's classes.

He would always sigh while lecturing, then face the blackboard and mutter complaints to himself.

His classmates kept quiet so they could hear his little complaints, creating a comfortable environment for Ito.

But because of Takikawa, the math teacher's classes became much more passionate.

It might be because middle-aged men feel a desire to perform after hearing a beautiful young woman praise them for being amazing.

He walked into the classroom, glanced around at his classmates, and didn't react much when he saw that Takikawa's seat was empty.

Something is wrong!

Ito frowned; he sensed something unusual in his math teacher's actions.

It wasn't uncommon for Takikawa to be called in for talks before, and he would return midway through, but never like this before.

Even if the other person knows that Takikawa is in the office, they will habitually feel disappointed.

But this time, nothing changed at all...
