Let's do it again, Yukino.

Although she was the advisor for the Service Club, Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't usually participate in their club's activities. So when she saw Kasuga greet the three members of the Service Club in a fairly normal way, she breathed a sigh of relief and left the club without saying anything.

……

"Um, Kasuga-san, is there anything we can help you with?"

Although Yui was somewhat afraid of this boy who had a notorious reputation at Soubu High School, he was, after all, a classmate specially introduced by teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka. So Yui mustered up a bit of courage, and her beautiful face naturally revealed the same innocent and naive smile as usual.

At 10:20 a.m.,

A long school desk,

The members of the Service Club—Yukino Yukinoshita, Yui Yuigahama, and their teacher, Hachiman Hikigaya—were sitting opposite Haruhi at that moment.

"Although we need your help, I'd like to ask beforehand: does the scope of the Service Department's three wishes encompass all areas?"

Yukino heard Haruhi's somewhat shameless voice from the side, but she was too lazy to say anything. She sat quietly to the side, but her slender legs under the table were trembling slightly.

In her past life, she had already explained the true meaning of the Service Club to Kasuga, that idiot who was always jealous of her setting up the Service Club, several times. And now, his act of pretending to be ignorant clearly showed that he had come prepared.

Yui glanced at the unusually silent Yuki, and then at the Hachiman sitting not far away, staring out the window with an unfocused gaze, clearly not intending to communicate with Haruhi. Reluctantly, she took on the role of the Service Club's temporary spokesperson.

"Um, I think you've misunderstood something, Kasuga-kun. Our Service Club doesn't have the ability to grant anyone's wishes. At most, we can only assist you in the process of fulfilling your wishes. We merely teach people how to fish, not give them fish."

It's just a complete copy of Xiaoxue's explanation.

Springtime internally grumbled.

"Oh, I understand now. I have a better idea of ​​what's going on. So let me tell you why I'm here."

"Please speak."

Kasuga took another deep breath and, in front of Yuihama, casually made her request.

"I'm planning to get a girlfriend, but of course, she has to be the kind who can move around."

……

One sentence completely dispelled the awkward atmosphere.

Even Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had been anxiously sticking the sticker on the door outside the club, almost tripped and fell over in surprise.

Hikigaya, who had been gazing out the window, was suddenly drawn to Haruhi's words.

He subconsciously exchanged a glance with Yui Yuigahama, who was also somewhat surprised. Both of them looked at each other with a hint of doubt in their eyes. The dead-fish-eyed boy couldn't help but lean back at an angle, and then slowly placed his arms on the table.

"I can recommend a website to you that often lists girlfriends that are rented out by the hour and at reasonable prices to suit your needs."

In Hachiman's view, renting a girlfriend and having a girlfriend are completely different, aren't they both about spending money? It's just that one involves paying upfront before you enjoy the experience, while the other involves paying upfront during the experience.

So, for a moment, I don't know what got into me, but when I heard Haruhi say that she wanted to have a girlfriend, I couldn't help but whisper a reply.

Even someone like him had long since removed the word "girlfriend" from his dictionary, so where did Haruhi, standing in front of him, get the confidence to even consider such a thing?

Even the three men who served them were complete virgins.

"I don't want anything that costs money, and I don't have a single penny on me."

Haruhi shook her head and refused the suggestion from the teacher without hesitation.

What a joke! If he had money, would he need to come to the Service Department to find them?

"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue?"

Yuihama began to think that this Kasuga-san was just there to cause trouble, so she had no choice but to turn her pleading gaze to Yukinoshita, the most reliable person in the entire club.

"Oh, could you tell me the details of this request first, Kasuga-kun?"

The girl, who had initially intended to ignore spring, finally showed a change in her usually aloof and snow-white expression.

Yukino stopped Yuihama's actions.

A half-smile curved her rosy lips.

She wanted to see this idiot who had nothing better to do than come to her Service Department and say those suicidal words.

What exactly is he up to?

The Blacksmith in Demon Slayer

Transmigrated to the world of Demon Slayer, only to become a swordsmith?

"Then I must forge the strongest Nichirin Blade!"

The hammer struck the iron ingot, but a notification sounded...

【Impurity-1】

Forged in fire, steel was tempered a hundred times, yet a warning was issued...

Constitution +1

The weapon was forged, but a warning was issued...

[Current weapon sharpness level: 1]

[Forger: Strength +10, Constitution +10, Agility +10, Speed ​​+10]

[Reward Obtained: Breath of the Sun!]

"Or... should I just become the strongest swordsman?"

I've found a new author's book, a Demon Slayer fanfic. It seems pretty good, even though many people probably already know about Shuke. If you're interested, check it out, it's really good!

Chapter 59 Now that I'm here, I don't plan to go back.

Serving within the department,

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

He blew on the steaming cup of black tea in his hand.

"Is your Service Department always this extravagant in its hospitality? You even have club activity funds to buy black tea to entertain guests."

Chunri took a small sip of the black tea that Xiaoxue had brewed herself, and then glanced at the rather delicate ceramic cup in her hand.

It has a pattern that is somewhat similar to the ceramic cup in Xiaoxue's hand, but the colors are different. Xiaoxue's cup is more pure white, while the one in my hand is pure black.

A couple's mug? Or was it just a coincidence that they took it out?

Springtime brings a little joy.

"These are all things I brought from home. Neither the black tea nor the other cups were funded by the Service Department's operating budget."

Yukino Yukinoshita, who was sitting in front of him, seemed to see his confusion and offered an explanation.

"..."

For some reason, after hearing Yukinoshita's nonchalant words that showed no consideration for the boy's feelings, Haruhi felt a little more depressed.

Xiaoxue is so extravagant! She drinks cheap rye tea at home, a big can of which can last for several days, but in her service department, she gets to drink this extremely luxurious, high-end black tea every day.

Even the teacher over there, holding just a simple little paper cup, gets this kind of black tea treatment.

Haruhi, completely unaware of the drastic difference in treatment, was kept in the dark.

Thinking about it this way, Chunri suddenly felt that her status had plummeted in an instant.

Jealousy over the difference between black tea and rye tea caused Haruhi to begin experiencing a personality split.

……

……

Is this guy an idiot?

Yukinoshita looked at the boy who had fallen silent, feeling somewhat speechless.

This idiot who drinks the juice I make at home every day and eats the dishes I've cooked for almost seven years, is sitting there eating some kind of jealousy over a few cups of black tea?

Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't understand this kind of boy's way of thinking at all.

……

Fortunately, two club members were also there, so she swallowed her sharp tongue and changed the subject back to the boy opposite her.

"Well, let's end this small talk here. Kasuga-kun, what exactly is your purpose in joining the Service Club?"

Yukinoshita calmly gazed at the boy before her.

"As I mentioned when I came, ever since we met at the tennis court last time, I asked around with other students and heard that your club is called the Service Club and can grant anyone's wishes. So, feeling that high school life is boring and dull, I thought of your club."

"Isn't it often said that a high school student who hasn't experienced love doesn't deserve to be called a high school student? You could even say that his high school life isn't complete."

"Kasuga-kun, if possible, could you please refrain from using vague and uncertain terms to spread such baseless rumors? Or could you please explain in detail who exactly said these things?"

As soon as Chunri finished speaking, the teacher, who was holding a paper cup and drinking red tea, who had originally intended to stay out of it but had been innocently caught in the crossfire, looked rather unwell.

Haruhi shrugged, ignoring what the teacher said.

"Am I wrong? You're only a sophomore in high school, and you still have a year before you feel the pressure of the college entrance exam. Shouldn't you use this free time to start a relationship?"

"Love also has major prerequisites. People like us are completely excluded from these prerequisites. The so-called high school youth belongs to people like Hayama who are popular. For us, high school life is just a stepping stone to getting into university. It has no other meaning."

Clearly, Hachiman Hikigaya, filled with dejection, subconsciously categorized Haruhi Kasuga into his own category.

However, Haruhi Kasuga did not agree with Hachiman Hikigaya's theory. He felt that even without Yuki, he was still slightly better than the great teacher.

"I'm different from you, Hikigaya. As long as I still have these fists, I can conquer almost all the girls in Soubu High School, except for my master and a certain woman who is a fifth-dan in Aikido and skilled in Iaijutsu. Of course, this also includes young female teachers under the age of twenty-five. Love is just a piece of cake for me."

"So, Kasuga-kun, the kind of conquest you just described has completely deviated from the scope of normal romance!"

Although the teacher in front of me kept complaining about high school students' views on youth, this guy had been relentlessly revealing his embarrassing history from middle school and even elementary school since high school.

But even though he had been hurt by so many girls, he still steadfastly told Yuigahama and Yukinoshita about his future dream: to become a good stay-at-home husband.

So this shows that it's not that Da Zhangwei doesn't want to be in a relationship, but rather that he hasn't fully recovered from the shadows of the past.

Perhaps when he can truly emerge from the shadows, he will rekindle his hope for love.

……

"Both of you better be serious...or else, you'll have to go stand outside and calm down."

At the most crucial moment, Yukino spoke up to stop the two boys from arguing about their views on love.
