The strongest high school student in Japan

"Yuzu-chan! Yuzu-chan!" Just when she was getting anxious, a voice calling out came from not far away.

It turned out that Fujiyoshi Ayami and the others came to look for them because they were worried that Mogami Jun would do something wrong because she had not returned for a long time.

These chaotic calls also pulled Takasaki Mayu back from her anxiety.

Almost in an instant, she instinctively regained her innocent look, as if she had become a different person.

"Let's talk next time!" She waved to Fujiyoshi Ayami and the others, then walked over almost as if running away.

"Just run away like that?" Mogami Jun was a little dissatisfied.

"It's not convenient to talk about this kind of thing in school. I have a handshake event on Sunday, so come over if you're free." When passing by Jun Mogami, Mayu Takasaki said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

33. Handshake Meeting

The spring sunshine lazily shines on the city, giving the hard-working people a leisurely weekend.

On this warm Sunday, the fast-paced Tokyo finally slowed down, and there were fewer people in suits and ties on the streets.

But it continues like this, and there are still many people who are busy.

In a small venue in Shinagawa District, it is now bustling with people.

Most of these people are men of different ages, but they are generally dressed very casually, with very few wearing formal clothes. Some of them even wear cheering scarves.

Their eyes were naturally focused on the small stage in the center of the venue.

"トレモロみたいに, 波达つ Thinking from the angle of つかめない, 君えば..."

Three girls wearing slightly revealing Gothic-style performance costumes were singing loudly on the stage.

As they sang, the audience in the audience gradually became intoxicated by the singing and shouted loudly along with the rhythm of the singing, expressing their love and support for the idol girls in this way.

The eager gazes and loud shouts came together, motivating almost everyone in the venue. The huge volume seemed to make the walls and ceilings shake. The atmosphere became more and more intense and high-spirited. Some middle-aged men were even moved to tears.

This fanatical scene almost reminds people of the scenes in the war mobilization meetings during the war years, when people shouted "His Majesty the Emperor is on board!"

However, if the generation that worshipped the military nation back then were to see their descendants behave themselves in front of idol girls, how would they feel...

"Chasing いかけて, うかぶパノラマ, 五线の上で, 流れ星, いま歌 うから, 光らしてよね!"

With the last round of lyrics, the performance of the girl idols finally came to an end, and the fanatical atmosphere began to cool down slightly.

Ah, I’m so tired…

Mayu Takasaki, who was standing in the middle, sighed in her heart. She didn't get a good rest yesterday, and she had to perform again today. She felt a little tired both physically and mentally.

She just wanted to finish it quickly and have a rest, and have a cold drink or something.

But of course she knew that it was still a long way from the end.

Even though she is exhausted both physically and mentally, she still maintains that energetic look, because she knows that fans can only accept an idol who "loves fans with all his heart."

"Everyone, are you happy today?" She picked up the microphone and shouted to the audience, then turned the microphone to the audience with a smile on her face.

"Great! I'm happy!" Someone immediately responded loudly.

"Seeing everyone so happy, Yuzu-chan is also very happy!" Takasaki Mayu smiled happily, "Yuzu-chan, keep having fun with everyone!"

"Yuzu-chan!" Such a cute smile made the fans who were already crying even more.

"Thank you all for your continued support..." Takasaki Mayu clasped her hands together, made a heart shape, then raised her hands and threw them away, as if throwing the heart off the stage, "Yuzu-chan...Yuzu-chan loves you all too!"

"Yuzu-chan! Yuzu-chan!! Yuzu-chan!!!"

Fanatical shouts once again resounded throughout the venue. Fans received healing energy from the girl idol. For them, although they spent a lot of money today, it was all worth it to protect this smile.

Wow, I wonder how many hands I will have to shake today... Seeing the crowded scene outside the venue, Mayu sighed in her heart.

Her lovely and encouraging gaze swept across the entire venue, making everyone feel seen, but in fact she was not looking at anyone and no one remembered.

This feeling of tiredness does not affect her continued transmission of positive energy. She has long been familiar with the cute routines on stage. It is almost a formulaic performance and there will be no mistakes.

That's part of her job.

This is also part of her idol career.

This is also the embodiment of her entire dream and life value.

A real pomelo should be sparkling and attract everyone’s attention!

Soon, the handshake meeting really came to the handshake stage.

Zhenyou stood under the stage with several other idol members who were present, shaking hands with every fan who came to cheer and bought CD handshake tickets.

In order to accommodate the people in the queue, each handshake lasts about ten seconds. Of course, some people will buy more coupons so that they can queue more times.

Mayu Takasaki smiled and shook hands with every fan, while also expressing her gratitude and encouraging them.

Although fans were grateful, Zhenyou didn't feel much.

She has shaken hands with so many people, and facing the sincere support of her fans, she can no longer feel the same excitement as she did in the beginning.

To be honest, this is also a physically demanding job. Every time after attending a handshake event, Zhenyou’s hands would be sore for a few days.

If it was just sore hands, it would be fine, but sometimes you would encounter some monsters - one time a disgusting fan put some sticky stuff on his hands before shaking hands with Zhenyou, and she was so disgusted that she almost couldn't eat for two days afterwards...

But it got better later on. The staff would check before shaking hands and there wouldn't be any abnormal behavior.

With all sorts of mixed thoughts in his mind, Zhenyou smiled and shook hands with one person, waiting for the next person to appear.

She soon discovered that the visitor seemed to be very careful to hide himself. He was tall and thin, wearing a mask on his face and black-framed glasses on his nose.

Wow, another weirdo.

I wonder if he will do anything weird again... Although she was still smiling, she felt a little uneasy.

Under her gaze, the other party walked slowly towards her.

"This is a pretty nice costume," he whispered.

Although the mask caused a slight change in the voice, she quickly recognized who it was.

For a moment, Zhenyou almost couldn't maintain her smile.

"It's you!" She frowned.

But her frown soon relaxed and she put on a sweet smile again.

"It's me, isn't it?" Mogami Jun nodded, "Didn't you tell me to come over?"

"Then why are you dressed like this, like a thief?" Zhenyou scolded in a low voice.

"If people I know knew that I came to such a funny place, I would be humiliated." Mogami Jun replied bluntly, "I am not the same kind of people as the fans here."

"You!" Zhenyou was so angry that she almost cursed out loud.

"Okay, stop talking and shake hands first." Mogami Jun extended his hand to the other party. "Time is running out, I don't want to delay others."

Takasaki Mayu forced a smile, her expression looking somewhat ugly.

"Hey, after all, I paid real money to buy the handshake ticket." Mogami Jun urged again, "Shouldn't you treat me with a professional attitude?"

"Gu..."

Zhenyou gritted her teeth and swallowed her saliva. If she hadn't experienced many ups and downs over the years, she would not even be able to maintain a fake smile now.

This guy is really infuriating!

But even so, she still reached out her hand to the other person.

Work is work, and there is no room for negligence.

Jun Mogami held Mayu Takasaki's hand and squeezed it.

It is indeed quite delicate, tender and soft to the touch.

What's even more valuable is her expression of wanting to laugh but not being able to, as if she had eaten a fly...

To be honest, the CD handshake ticket was worth the money.

"Hey, that's enough." Takasaki Mayu urged coldly.

"It's less than ten seconds. I'm counting." Mogami Jun replied coldly, "I paid for the service, so it's only natural."

After counting to ten seconds silently, the two finally let go of each other's hands.

Takasaki Mayu finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her usual smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, little brother~"

At the same time, she added in a low voice, "Wait in the lounge of the venue."

"Yuzu-chan, keep up the good work! You just fell~" Mogami Jun nodded, then waved to her as well, floated away, and left the opportunity to the next person.

Honestly, it was his first time attending an idol meeting like this, and he felt like he was observing the world. Those people had a fanaticism that he couldn't understand, and he didn't understand what he could get in return for worshiping a young girl.

The security of belonging to a group?

Or make yourself feel less lonely?

Or do you simply want to watch the girl grow up little by little, just like a daughter?

Whatever the motive, it was someone else's life and he had no right to interfere, but he himself had no interest in joining in.

The reason he came here today was naturally just because Zhenyou asked him to come last time.

He didn't know what Zhenyou's plan was, but it was obvious that Zhenyou was going to reveal something to him.

The handshake event was still going on, but he was no longer very interested in it. Following Zhenyou's instructions, he went to the rest area and waited.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally saw someone.

However, the person he was waiting for was not Zhenyou, but a young woman.

Compared to the average height of Japanese women, she is tall. When she puts on high heels, she is a little taller than Jun Mogami. She is wearing a black Western suit, has distinct facial features, shoulder-length hair, and a cold but capable expression. She looks like an energetic and heroic office lady.

When she approaches people, she seems to unconsciously project a sense of power onto them.

"I'm Takeuchi, a staff member of Shinyu. Excuse me, you are Mr. Mogami, right?" She asked in a low voice after walking in front of Mogami Jun.

"Yes, it's me." Mogami Jun nodded and took off his mask. "May I ask for your instructions?"

"Please come with me." She nodded to Jun Mogami, and then walked into the venue with Jun Mogami. "I'm sorry, you know that in Zhenyou's situation, there can't be any scandals, so she can't see you in public."

"Well, it's a professional requirement. I totally understand."

Jun Mogami nodded and followed her.

She walked to the elevator entrance and pressed the button. After the elevator door opened, she walked in first, and then Jun Mogami followed.

After the elevator door closed, she pressed the button for the fifth floor and turned to look at Jun Mogami.

"Mind if I smoke?"

"I don't mind at all, please go ahead." Jun Mogami made a gesture.

"Thank you." She smiled, then skillfully took out a box of cigarettes and a lighter from her pocket, then quickly lit it, put it in her mouth and took a puff.

When she gently puffed out the cigarette, a cool scent quickly drifted in the elevator and into Jun Mogami's nose.

Menthol-flavored ladies' cigarettes, Mogami Jun thought.

34. Suppression

As the elevator slowly ascended, the cool smell of mint smoke diffused in the small space, giving people a slight sense of anesthesia.

The two of them didn't speak for the whole time. Jun Mogami didn't know how the other person viewed him, so he simply chose to remain silent.

I'm afraid that in the other party's eyes, I'm just a young kid who came to join in the fun.

The elevator door opened quickly, and Takeuchi staff walked out of the door first. He took a deep puff of his cigarette, then put out the half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray at the door.

Then she turned around and looked at Jun Mogami who had followed her out.

"Bro."

"Well, what's the matter?" Jun Mogami asked immediately.

"I don't know why Zhenyou wants to meet you here, but can you please finish your talk as soon as possible?" Ms. Takeuchi was very polite, but also kept her distance. "You have seen that she has been busy all morning and has activities in the afternoon, so I hope she can have a good rest at noon."

"I think it will be quick. I don't really like to disturb others." Mogami Jun answered calmly.
