"Alright, leave this to me! I'll definitely help Kaguya find out what kind of person that is!"
As she spoke, Fujiwara Chika pulled out a hat resembling Sherlock Holmes's from somewhere and put it on her head:
"If the other person is some bad guy, I'll help Kaguya get rid of him!"
"Fujiwara classmate..."
Kaguya Shinomiya's icy expression was moved, as if she had been touched by Chika Fujiwara.
Although Fujiwara Chika seems very unreliable, her efforts for her sake are genuine.
Thinking of this, Kaguya Shinomiya subconsciously grasped Chika Fujiwara's hand and nodded to her:
"In that case, I'll leave everything to you, but you must be careful and never put yourself in danger."
There was no other way but to hand it over to Fujiwara Chika.
After all, when Kaguya Shinomiya investigates someone, she will definitely need to use the Shinomiya family's resources.
Now that the Shinomiya family is keeping it from Shinomiya Kaguya, Shinomiya Kaguya has no way to investigate. The people she could previously use are definitely more obedient to the Shinomiya family.
And since Fujiwara Chika couldn't be controlled by the Shinomiya family, he had no choice but to entrust the investigation to her.
Chapter 282 Another person added to the lunch team?
At lunchtime, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain.
No, or rather, it had already started raining—a few scattered raindrops were falling on the road, and the students who were originally going to have lunch near the playground were starting to run into the teaching building.
"It's raining...looks like we won't be able to have lunch on the rooftop."
Kato Megumi took out her lunchbox and looked out the window. She and Qin Chuan were seated one in front of the other by the window, so they could see the situation on the playground with just a turn of their heads.
Obviously, they couldn't have lunch on the rooftop in the rain—there's no roof to keep out the rain, and they couldn't very well have lunch in the rain.
In fact, Qin Chuan could also use the "Black Bird: Apocalypse" ability to modify the celestial phenomena, dispel all the dark clouds in the sky, and make the rainy day immediately clear up.
Even if the weather clears up immediately, the chairs on the rooftop would already be soaked by the rain and unusable.
Although it would be easy for Qin Chuan to dry the chair with his current variety of abilities, the rest of the lunch group were unaware of the existence of Stand abilities, and Qin Chuan didn't plan to reveal it now.
He'll probably tell everyone once the people in his lunch group have developed a close enough relationship with him.
"Let's eat somewhere else then. Do you have any good recommendations?"
Qin Chuan took out his phone and sent a message in the lunch group on the chat software, saying that it was raining outside and he couldn't go to the rooftop for lunch.
This feeling of discussing where to have lunch with classmates is quite normal, and Qin Chuan doesn't dislike this atmosphere—especially since he's chatting with cute girls.
After the question was posted, someone quickly replied in the group—the replyer was Ichiri Goto, who posted a very short sentence and a photo:
"How's it here? [Image]"
The photo shows a place that looks like a storage room, filled with useless tables and chairs, and you can even see dust.
Clearly, before Qin Chuan forcibly dragged her out to have lunch, Goto Ichiri had eaten her lunch in a place like this—it seems that she also ate lunch in a similar place in the original work.
This place, which looks like a storage room, is probably only used by Goto Ichiri or some poor bullied bastards as a place to eat lunch.
"Rejected! How can you eat lunch here! 々々?"
Kita Ikuyo responded, saying that the place Goto Ichiri posted was too remote and gloomy. Although it suited Goto Ichiri's personality, Kita Ikuyo obviously wouldn't agree.
As Goto Ichiri's "teacher" who taught her guitar skills, Kita Ikuyo also tried her best to help Goto Ichiri overcome her social anxiety and make her a little more cheerful.
After all, End of the Band is a rock band, how can they be so socially awkward?!
Rock band members should definitely be outgoing!
It has to be said that this is the stereotype that outsiders have about rock bands. Although Kita Ikuyo joined the End Band, her understanding of rock music is not much different from that of a casual listener.
"How about we have lunch in one of the club's departments?"
Kato Megumi then offered this suggestion in the group chat.
"Anyway, A-Chuan seems to have a lot of keys to places, so he should also have keys to some clubrooms, right?"
Qin Chuan felt a cold sweat trickle down his forehead as he read the message—Kato Megumi had gone astray, managing to say something that violated school rules so casually.
Entering someone else's room without permission is obviously not allowed, but perhaps because Qin Chuan had already violated the rules by opening the rooftop door before, Kato Megumi made such a suggestion quite naturally.
"Indeed, if it's a department office, it won't be very dirty or messy, and under normal circumstances, no one will bother you."
Kita Ikuyo seemed to have been influenced as well, completely ignoring the fact that this behavior violated the rules, and enthusiastically expressed her agreement in the group chat.
After all, club activities are held after school in the afternoon, and no one would go to the club room during lunchtime.
After all, most people don't have the key to the club room.
Goto Ichiri posted a embarrassed emoji, probably expressing her dismay at Kato Megumi and Kita Ikuyo's blatant disregard for the rules.
However, being socially awkward, she couldn't offer any rebuttals at this point and could only let Kato Megumi and Kita Ikuyo's opinions dominate.
Qin Chuan thought for a moment and then sent a message as well:
"Alright, since you've all said so, I do know a good place. Let's meet here today."
……
"The Art Department?"
At the location designated by Qin Chuan, Kita Ikuyo and Goto Ichiri also joined Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi.
However, looking at the club sign above the entrance to the department, the group exchanged glances before turning to Qin Chuan.
"Achuan, do you know anyone in the art club?"
Kato Megumi's tone was full of suspicion. Although there were both men and women in the art club, for some reason, Kato Megumi instinctively felt that if Qin Chuan really knew someone in the art club, it must be a girl.
"々Yeah, I know Eriri from the art club, so it's okay to borrow her club for a bit, right?"
Qin Chuan put on a calm expression, reached out and used the ability of Kiryu's "Slime" Stand to enter the keyhole, and then instantly copied a key according to its internal structure.
Snap.
With a gentle twist, Qin Chuan unlocked the door to the art department, then casually put his hand back in his pocket, pretending to actually take out a key and open the door.
"Eri...could she be the ace member of the art club, the daughter of a diplomat's family?"
Kita Ikuyo, who was good at communicating, immediately realized who Eriri was, and said with some surprise.
"So Qin Chuan knows Eriri?"
Meanwhile, Goto Ichiri looked completely bewildered—compared to Kita Ikuyo, Goto Ichiri didn't even know many of her classmates, let alone her classmates from the same school.
"That's right, it's her. We're on pretty good terms. Even if someone else finds out we're using the clubroom, we can always pin the blame on her... *shudder*"
Qin Chuan said some shameless things and pushed open the classroom door.
Although it sounds terrible, it's actually impossible for something to be discovered by someone else.
When Qin Chuan arrived here, he used "Blackbird Requiem" to ensure that he would not be disturbed by outsiders, so there was no need to worry about finding an excuse.
Saying that the blame should be placed on Eriri was just a joke.
However, when Qin Chuan opened the door, he saw that there was already someone sitting inside.
"……Eh?"
Eriri, who was eating her bento while sitting on a chair in the art club classroom, was stunned when she saw Qin Chuan suddenly open the door and walk in, along with the three girls behind him.
Clearly, although Qin Chuan had set a fixed outcome of "not being disturbed by outsiders"... Eriri was not an outsider to Qin Chuan.
Chapter 283 Founding a club just for lunch?
"So, you guys came to the art department's classroom to eat just because it was raining outside?"
Eriri ate her bento while looking at Qin Chuan and the others who were sitting unceremoniously in the art club chairs, and said irritably.
"None of you are members of the art club... and why do you have the key to the art club!?"
Since Eriri was in the classroom, she naturally couldn't see how Qin Chuan opened the door.
Hearing the sound of the door lock being opened, she naturally assumed that Qin Chuan also had the key to the art department.
"That's not important. The art department isn't just for people from the art department."
Qin Chuan smiled at Eriri and raised his eyebrows—the meaning was clear: didn't someone who wasn't a member of the art club do something strange in this classroom this morning?
Seeing Qin Chuan's slightly amused expression, Eriri blushed immediately, clearly thinking about what she had just done with Qin Chuan that morning.
Fortunately, after finishing those tasks, Qin Chuan and Eriri cleaned up the mess in the art club and opened the windows to let in some fresh air.
So by lunchtime, the art department classroom no longer had any strange smells, and no one would notice anything unusual about room 507.
If it weren't clean enough, Eriri wouldn't have come here for lunch.
"Actually, when I first arrived at the rooftop to eat, I was already thinking that eating on the rooftop was quite inconvenient."
Kita Ikuyo said this while eating her bento.
"Sometimes the wind on the rooftop is too strong and it might blow some sand over. We have to block the lunchbox first and wait for the wind to stop before we can continue eating."
Qin Chuan had actually noticed this when he and Kato Megumi first entered the rooftop.
However, at that time, Qin Chuan did not have so many strange abilities, nor did he have the "Blackbird Requiem" to help create an environment where he would not be disturbed.
So the rooftop was practically the only option at the time, since it was the only place where you could be fairly certain that no one would bother you.
Moreover, strictly speaking, it wasn't that no one ever bothered them—Eri was caught by Qin Chuan on the rooftop.
"I also talked about this issue when Achuan and I first went to the rooftop for dinner."
Kato Megumi nodded, looking somewhat troubled.
"However, at that time we could hardly find a suitable place except the rooftop."
"Then why don't we just find a classroom for a club activity, like we did today?"
Goto Ichiri timidly raised his hand to ask a question, just like a good student answering a teacher's question in class.
"There are hardly any student council members coming to the office at lunchtime, right? If we had a key..."
"Although no one usually comes to the clubroom at noon, no one can guarantee against unexpected situations—like today, Eriri-san is in the classroom, isn't she?"
Kato Megumi shook her head and looked at Eriri beside her. Eriri, as the ace member of the art club, had a key to the club room and would occasionally come to the art club to rest at noon.
It was only because Qin Chuan and Eriri knew each other that the awkward situation didn't happen at noon today. Obviously, Eriri didn't mind Qin Chuan having lunch at the art club.
But what if there are other people in the art club later? Eriri is already a member of the art club, so no one else can say anything if she's here, but Qin Chuan and the others aren't members of the art club.
"In that case, let's start our own club."
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan immediately came up with an idea—since eating on the rooftop wasn't very convenient, why not set up a special club room for lunch?
There are actually some vacant classrooms on the floor used by the clubs. Since those classrooms are just sitting empty anyway, we might as well set one of them aside for Qin Chuan and his group to use.
"...So you went to the trouble of setting up a club room just to find a suitable place to have lunch?"
Eriri's expression turned strange upon hearing Qin Chuan's words.
"Your reason is definitely not going to work, right? A club whose purpose is to provide lunch... a lunch club?"
"It's impossible to apply under the pretext of having lunch. Just find some club activity as an excuse."
Qin Chuan waved his hand dismissively. Anyway, he could just modify the result with "Blackbird Requiem" and there was no need to worry about the club's approval.
Although he could have easily used "Blackbird Requiem" to modify the result and simply occupy an empty classroom in the school without establishing a club.
However, Kato Megumi and others might feel a bit awkward, so it would be better to just establish a club as a token gesture.
"But our school requires at least 5 people to establish a club, right? If there aren't enough people, you can only establish a hobby club, which won't have departments or funding."
Kita Ikuyo, however, raised a more practical question.
Although she hadn't joined any clubs, some of her friends had, so Kita Ikuyo knew some of the necessary conditions for establishing clubs at the school.
But now, in terms of numbers alone, they seem to be missing one person – Qin Chuan, Kato Megumi, Kita Ikuyo, and Goto Ichiri, making it only four people.
"Isn't there still someone here?"
Goto Ichiri pointed curiously at Eriri, clearly wondering why Kita Ikuyo hadn't included Eriri in the count.
"I'm from the art club, you guys don't mean you want me to quit the art club and start a lunch club with you, do you?"
