In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

Nothing else—

This will be troublesome.

If he were discovered having lunch with other girls, people around him would definitely gossip, for example:

"Huh! Is this for real? That delinquent is having lunch with a girl?"

"She was a very pretty girl, wearing the uniform of another school, and seemed to be a new transfer student."

"She must have been threatened by that jerk, right? Should we tell the teacher?"

To avoid this situation and to preserve his peaceful life, Yoshikage Kira left the cafeteria and returned to the classroom with his packed lunch.

Kira Yoshikage's appearance silenced the previously cheerful classroom, and everyone watched him with some tension. But Kira Yoshikage remained unaffected; he simply returned to his seat calmly, opened his packed lunch, and ate it alone.

After a while, the voices of other students could be heard again in the classroom, but they were all speaking in hushed tones. They seemed afraid of disturbing Yoshikage Kira—and then being grabbed by the head and given a heavy blow by this delinquent.

The important part comes later.

Jingle Bell!

Soon, the lunch break ended, and the students returned to their classrooms one after another.

As the school bell rang, Hiratsuka Shizuka walked up to the podium with her textbooks:

"Before class begins, let me introduce a new student. Nakano-kun, please come in."

Upon hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's voice, a girl with long red hair, resembling an elegant young lady, walked onto the podium and bowed slightly.

"My name is Nakano Satsuki, nice to meet you."

Upon seeing that it was a beautiful girl they had never seen before, a series of whispers and gasps of surprise erupted from the audience:

"A transfer student? And she's a beautiful girl! Yay!"

"That school uniform is from Black Rose Girls' School, right?"

"That's a famous private school; only rich girls have the opportunity to enroll."

"But shouldn't a girl like that go to a pure arts college?"

"You're stupid! If you transfer schools midway, even if you're rich, you can only get into a mixed college!"

boom!boom!

Hiratsuka Shizuka patted the podium and said loudly:

"Quiet!"

The classroom fell silent instantly.

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded in satisfaction:

"Nakano-kun, please sit over there."

She pointed to the empty seat behind Yoshikage Kira.

"Ok."

With a polite smile, Nakano Satsuki walked towards the last row without any resistance.

As she passed by Yoshikage Kira, the girl smiled:

Please take good care of me.

Kira Yoshikage, who was pretending to admire the scenery and hoping to be ignored, turned around and nodded slightly.

"Hello."

Nakano Satsuki seemed relieved and sat down in the row behind Kira Yoshikage.

Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled slightly at this scene, but quickly hid it and turned to the blackboard to begin the lesson.

Nakano Satsuki poked Kira Yoshikage in the back and handed him a note.

Yoshikage Kira took the note, unfolded it, and glanced at it:

"I'm really sorry about what happened at noon. I was a little distracted at the time, it wasn't intentional."

"My name is Nakano Satsuki, would you like to get to know me?"

Seeing Yoshikage Kira take the note, Satsuki Nakano waited anxiously, her mind racing with uneasy thoughts:

"This should be fine, right?"

A few seconds later, she noticed the table move slightly.

In a moment of surprise, he realized that Yoshikage Kira had passed a note from under the table.

I carefully took the note, tucked it between the pages of my textbook, and secretly unfolded it:

"Could you please not talk to me? It's disturbing my studies."

"Hmm~"

Nakano Satsuki's face flushed red, and she puffed up her cheeks angrily.

What?! She finally mustered up the courage to apologize to you, only to be met with blame and estrangement.

Fine, I won't say it then! Do you think she'd care?

Chapter 30 Love Metronome? Just Toilet Paper.

School, Chairman's Office.

Shinomiya Un'taka looked at Shinomiya Kaguya sitting on the opposite sofa with slight surprise:

"Work-study program?"

"Yes."

Kaguya Shinomiya picked up the cup of black tea on the table and took a sip, her tone calm and without a trace of emotion:

"For the average person, the annual tuition fee of 150 million yen at Shuchiin Academy is a very difficult burden. Therefore, I hope to provide some assistance within my capacity to alleviate the burden of studying for students in mixed-gender colleges."

Shinomiya Un'ei raised an eyebrow, looking at his younger sister with slightly newfound respect.

In fact, Shuchiin Academy has scholarships specifically for students in mixed-age schools, but these scholarships can only be provided to a small number of students with excellent academic performance who rank at the top.

For the vast majority of students, scholarships are just a tempting but unattainable dream. The 'work-study' opportunities offered by Kaguya Shinomiya can certainly satisfy the needs of many more students who have this desire.

Although the two methods are different, the goal is the same: to make the students in the mixed-use college feel grateful to them for their kindness.

His younger sister's actions were suspected of stealing his job.

In other words, the two sides are actually in competition in this regard.

and so……

Shigu Yunying thought for a moment and nodded:

"No problem, I agree. How many 'work-study' positions can you provide?"

Shinomiya Un'yō didn't care whether his sister was trying to steal his job; he didn't care at all, because the job was never his to begin with.

The chairman of Shuchiin Academy was originally Shinomiya Hikari, his older brother and the most likely successor to the Shinomiya family headship. Shinomiya Un'taka, on the other hand, was merely the third son born to his second wife, and his faction was the weakest in the Shinomiya family.

The reason Shinomiya Hikari was able to become the chairman of Shuchiin Academy was because he made a mistake and angered the old man. Shinomiya Un'taka didn't even know what Shinomiya Hikari had done wrong, and he had no confidence in whether he could keep his position as chairman.

So rather than refusing Kaguya Shinomiya, it's better to do her a favor.

This might even bring Kaguya Shinomiya to his side.

Originally, Kaguya Shinomiya had no power or influence, so she wasn't even qualified to participate in the succession race. However, last week, the old man ordered Hikaru Shinomiya to transfer all the shares of a small company to Kaguya Shinomiya, which meant that the old man had tacitly approved Kaguya Shinomiya's participation in the competition.

Even if she ultimately fails to win, with this small company that generates 500 billion yen in annual revenue, she will at least not become a discarded pawn.

Well, that's how it works.

They were all direct beneficiaries of Shinomiya Hikari's mistakes...

As Shinomiya Un'taka was racking his brains, he heard Shinomiya Kaguya calmly speak from across the room:

“Ministop has a total of 93 branches in the 23 wards of Tokyo, 50 of which are located in the six central wards and the Jonan area. I have already issued a notice that each branch can provide one part-time job, let’s start with 50 people.”

Sigong Yunying thought for a moment and nodded slightly:

"can."

Kaguya Shinomiya remained outwardly calm, but her mood brightened.

As one of the 50 part-time students, Yoshikage Kira would go unnoticed by anyone.

This was her perfect plan!

-----------------

At the entrance of Shuchiin Academy, Nagisa Kashiwagi, wearing a disciplinary committee armband and having been on duty for a week straight, bit her lip, her eyes filled with visible disappointment.

Still nothing?

For a week now, she's been arriving at the school gate at 7 a.m. every morning and waiting until the bell rings for class before returning to the classroom. In the afternoon, she even leaves 10 minutes early to arrive at the school gate and waits until 7 p.m., but each time she comes up empty-handed.

Kashiwagi Nagisa lowered her head somewhat forlornly and murmured softly:

"Why is this happening? Could it be that he really isn't a student at Shuchiin Academy?"

There were many blond boys at Shuchiin Academy, but none of them matched the person she remembered. It wasn't just a matter of whether they looked alike; their heights alone were vastly different.

Slightly lost in thought, Kashiwagi Nagisa caught a glimpse of two figures leaving her side out of the corner of her eye—it was Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai.

"Shinomiya..."

Kashiwagi Nagisa instinctively wanted to call out to her, but before she could speak, she suddenly remembered something—why had Shinomiya Kaguya not asked her about that person until now?

She used to ask him every day to make sure she had found him.

Why didn't you ask today?

Has Kaguya Shinomiya already given up? Giving up even faster than me?

Or has she already confirmed who that person is, so she no longer needs to ask herself?
