Although he felt someone watching him as soon as he entered the classroom, Qin Chuan had long been used to being stared at because of the recent buzz surrounding him.
Therefore, he did not notice Yui Yuigahama looking at him, nor did he see the conflicted expression on her face.
Qin Chuan is currently sending a message to Yotsuya Miko on his mobile phone.
Normally, he would chat with Kato Megumi on his phone during class, but since Kato Megumi was asleep, he took the opportunity to contact Yotsuya Miko and inquire about the club members.
Miko Yotsuya quickly replied—although it was during class, Miko Yotsuya was a Stand user, and she could easily have her Stand hide under the table and chat with her on her phone.
That's right, since the teacher can't see the double, the double is undoubtedly the best helper for slacking off.
If it weren't for the somewhat creepy feeling of the phone floating in the air, Miko Yotsuya could have even had her stand-in openly sit on the podium and play on her phone.
“Yesterday on my way home from school, I ran into a senior student who was discussing the club you applied to join. I heard that there weren’t enough members, so I joined without permission.”
Yotsuya Miko replied to the question about the club members, seemingly a little worried that she had meddled, and asked a somewhat insecure question.
"I didn't do anything wrong, did I? Does Qin Chuan just want to keep the group of four?"
Although Yotsuya Miko meant well, she was also worried that she might have done something wrong.
Yotsuya Miko felt deeply grateful to Qin Chuan. If it weren't for Qin Chuan helping her awaken her substitute, she would still be tormented by evil spirits.
She can now deal with evil spirits on her own. Although her life is still a little different from before, it is a huge improvement.
Furthermore, the Stand can also help Yotsuya Miko with some trivial matters, which makes Yotsuya Miko's life more convenient.
At first, she was a little worried that after making that strange agreement with Qin Chuan, he might do something weird to her...
But several days have passed, and Qin Chuan hasn't contacted her even once, which has made her a little insecure—could it be that Qin Chuan has no interest in her at all?
Today, Qin Chuan finally took the initiative to contact her, and Yotsuya Miko was quite happy. She just hoped that her unauthorized joining of the Paranormal Research Club would not affect Qin Chuan's plans.
"No, you did a great job, and I should thank you."
Qin Chuan replied with a smile to Yotsuya Miko—Yotsuya Miko's active involvement was probably due to the "Blackbird Requiem" modifying the outcome.
He certainly wouldn't blame Yotsuya Miko, but he still explained the true nature of the club to her:
"However, this club doesn't have any activities. I started this club just to find a place to have lunch with my friends."
"But if there are no club activities, won't they lose funding or even be shut down?"
Seeing Qin Chuan's reply, Yotsuya Miko was somewhat puzzled.
Club funding isn't allocated for nothing. If there are no club activities or corresponding achievements, then the club's funding will be reduced or even canceled.
"Don't worry, I have plenty of money. If there's no funding, so be it."
Qin Chuan didn't seem to care at all.
"As for the club being banned... that's impossible."
The conclusion that "the paranormal research department will not be shut down" doesn't consume much "energy" at all.
Chapter 307 Even Hayasaka Ai shook her head.
"What a spacious department room... I thought it would be one of those small classrooms."
Upon entering the Paranormal Research Club's office, Goto Ichiri couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Newly established clubs are usually not assigned to large classrooms, so Goto Ichiri was mentally prepared that the new classroom would be a storage room.
Of course, that was just her overly self-conscious thought—even the newest club wouldn't be assigned to the storage room; there were still plenty of empty classrooms for clubs.
However, the Paranormal Research Club's room was indeed much larger than the usual classrooms for new clubs, and even Eriri couldn't help but twitch her lips when she entered:
"This classroom really doesn't look like something a new club would have; it's almost as big as a large club like the art department... Qin Chuan, are you sure you don't have some kind of connection with the student council?"
Although she wasn't a member of the Paranormal Research Club, Eriri still shamelessly joined the lunch team—after all, they had lunch together yesterday, so she could be considered an in-service member.
Moreover, although Eriri doesn't say it, she definitely hopes to spend more time with Qin Chuan.
After all, she had already done that kind of thing, and yet she had fewer opportunities to interact with Qin Chuan than the other girls. How could she possibly resist?
Kato Megumi didn't offer her opinion; she simply handed the bento box to Qin Chuan silently.
Although she looked no different from usual, a closer look revealed that Kato Megumi's expression was slightly tired.
After all, I had just gone through such strenuous exercise, and even though I slept through a class at the end, I still couldn't fully recover my energy.
Kato Megumi's expression remained so calm that neither Goto Ichiri nor Eriri noticed the subtle change in her expression.
But Kita Ikuyo next to her is different.
Because Kita Ikuyo had already overheard what Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi had done at the door, her gaze darted back and forth between Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi's faces as soon as she entered the classroom.
When she saw Qin Chuan, Kita Ikuyo blushed slightly, for some reason, but she was good at controlling her emotions and quickly regained her composure.
"What's wrong, Kita Ikuyo? Is there something on my face?"
Although Kato Megumi didn't have Qin Chuan's ability to sense other people's actions through "qi," Kita Ikuyo's scrutinizing gaze was so obvious that Kato Megumi still noticed her.
"Ah... no, it's nothing, I just think Kato-kun seems a little tired, and I'm a little worried..."
Kita Ikuyo was startled and hurriedly waved her hands, giving Kato Megumi an awkward smile.
She couldn't very well say that she listened to Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi doing that kind of thing for two whole classes, and that her legs were so numb from squatting that now whenever she sees Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi, strange images pop into her mind, could she?
What made her even more ashamed was that the image she imagined wasn't Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi, but Qin Chuan and herself... This made her feel even more humiliated.
Qin Chuan watched Kita Ikuyo frantically try to prove her innocence without saying a word, simply watching the show with great interest.
He knew perfectly well why Kita Ikuyo was acting so flustered—he had just sensed Kita Ikuyo's "aura" at the door.
Because of the fixed outcome of "Blackbird Requiem", outsiders cannot get close to this place at all. Only Kita Ikuyo is not considered an outsider, so she was able to get close to the classroom and overhear some things she shouldn't have heard.
However, Kita Ikuyo's shy reaction was quite amusing, so Qin Chuan didn't stop her.
……
"Is Fujiwara-san really going to do this?"
Looking at Fujiwara Chika, who was blocking her way at the classroom door, Hayasaka Ai seemed a little embarrassed.
As it approached the end of school at Shuchiin Academy, Hayasaka Ai was approached by Fujiwara Chika, who told her about her plan to go to the private Toyonosaki School to find Qin Chuan.
Indeed, Fujiwara Chika has investigated Qin Chuan's affairs—but the results of her investigation are not satisfactory.
According to Fujiwara Chika's investigation, Qin Chuan seems to be just an ordinary high school student whose parents are missing. Apart from being handsome and independent, he seems to be an odd match for Shinomiya Kaguya.
However, the Shinomiya family's desire for Kaguya Shinomiya to meet Qin Chuan was genuine, and they even gave Kaguya a death order for it.
Confused and conflicted, Fujiwara Chika decided to go all out for Shinomiya Kaguya, whom she considered her best friend.
She decided to have Hayasaka Ai take her to the entrance of the private Toyonosaki School so she could go directly to Qin Chuan and find out what kind of person he really was.
If the other person is truly a good person, then even if they are not a good match, Fujiwara Chika could accept him being with Shinomiya Kaguya.
However, Hayasaka Ai heard these words differently.
She looked at Fujiwara Chika with a somewhat subtle gaze—going to Qin Chuan on her own was not a good thing. Yes, she had been brutally controlled by Qin Chuan because she had investigated him without permission.
This also sparked some strange interests in him.
Although Fujiwara Chika didn't investigate the Kiryu Group like I did, she dared to take the initiative to contact Qin Chuan... Hayasaka Ai felt that Fujiwara Chika's fate wouldn't be too good.
Knowing that Fujiwara Chika was Kaguya Shinomiya's good friend, she kindly offered Fujiwara Chika a final word of advice:
"Fujiwara-san, since this is Kaguya-sama's private matter, please don't get involved..."
"No, Kaguya is my best friend. How can I entrust her to someone I don't even know?!"
However, Fujiwara Chika did not understand Hayasaka Ai's good intentions—which makes sense, since she didn't know about Hayasaka Ai's relationship with Qin Chuan, and naturally didn't know the consequences of doing so.
Hayasaka Aimi seemed unable to dissuade Fujiwara Chika, and could only sigh helplessly.
Well, since it was Fujiwara Chika's own choice, she wouldn't try to persuade her anymore—she would let go of her desire to help others and respect their fate.
She was certainly familiar with the private Toyonosaki School, after all, it was where her current master went to school.
However, out of a final act of kindness, Hayasaka Ai still asked one more question:
"Since Fujiwara-san insists on going, I have no objection... But Fujiwara-san, do you prefer being bullied or having normal conversations?"
"what?"
Fujiwara Chika looked confused, not understanding what Hayasaka Ai was talking about, but still subconsciously replied.
"If it's a tough treatment... that's not necessarily a bad thing."
Hayasaka Ai nodded upon hearing this... "Very good, then at least if Qin Chuan does strange things, Fujiwara Chika shouldn't be too scared, right?"
Approximately? Level.
Chapter 308 Who among serious people participates in club activities?
"A-Chuan, would you like to go with us to check on the band practice today?"
After school, Kato Megumi looked at Qin Chuan and invited him with a smile.
"The dessert shop nearby has some new items today, and we're planning to go try them out."
After spending this time together, Kato Megumi has become increasingly accustomed to spending time with the End of Days band after school.
It's estimated that Kato Megumi's parents suspected that she had joined some kind of club, which is why she had to attend club activities after school every day, resulting in her coming home later than before.
Of course, Qin Chuan also provided financial support for their daily tea time – after all, he had promised to do this beforehand, and Qin Chuan, who was not short of money, would naturally not go back on his word.
"I won't go; I have some things to take care of."
Qin Chuan shook his head and looked at his phone—Hayasaka Ai had sent him a message before school ended.
The gist of the story is that there's a girl named Fujiwara Chika in Shuchiin who is a good friend of Shinomiya Kaguya. She heard that Shinomiya Kaguya was going to be given away, so she wanted to see what kind of person she was.
And for some reason, Hayasaka Ai added a line that "Fujiwara-san doesn't seem to mind being treated roughly," which made Qin Chuan both amused and exasperated.
What does Hayasaka Ai think she is? A ravenous wolf who pounces on any cute girl she sees? I'm not that thirsty, am I?
It was probably because Qin Chuan's ruthless actions during their first meeting that left such a deep impression on Hayasaka Ai that her perception of him became fixed.
670 But there was nothing that could be done. When Hayasaka Ai first met him, she came with the intention of gathering intelligence, so Qin Chuan naturally couldn't be too gentle with Hayasaka Ai at that time.
Although he didn't know why Fujiwara Chika had come to see him, Qin Chuan decided to go along with her and see what she was up to since she was already there.
Qin Chuan was still somewhat interested in this "cancer of the earth" that he had seen in the work before his time travel.
So I didn't have a chance to accompany Kato Megumi to watch the band practice end today.
"Alright, then let's wait for another chance... Ijichi and Yamada often talk about you, so you should visit them occasionally."
Kato Megumi's expression was quite calm. After all, she had taken things a step further with Qin Chuan today, and she was already satisfied. She was not disappointed that Qin Chuan could not go out with her after school.
However, she also noticed Qin Chuan's gaze while looking at his phone, so she seemed to have guessed something and whispered to Qin Chuan:
"But A-Chuan, if you're going to meet a girl, you can't be too hasty. If you do that kind of thing too often, you might lose interest later."
"That's really not like something you would say."
Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow, looking at Kato Megumi, whose expression remained calm—it seemed that after today's events in the clubroom, Kato Megumi's personality had changed slightly.
Well... I've become much more at ease.
If Kato Megumi had been noticeably unhappy when Qin Chuan interacted with other girls before, she is now much calmer.
She probably felt more confident after having done that kind of thing with Qin Chuan.
……
As school ends, high school students in Japan begin their club activities.
The educational approach pursued by Japanese high schools is to allow students to freely choose their activities—and as a result, a large number of students choose to enter the workforce directly after graduating from high school.
"Department of Paranormal Research..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha stood at the door of the Paranormal Research Club classroom, frowning as she looked at the club's name posted on the door.
After suspecting that Qin Chuan was the protagonist of the mysterious disappearance, she began to learn about Qin Chuan from other students.
I heard today that Qin Chuan has started a new club, so Kasumigaoka Utaha thought of coming here to check it out and confirm whether Qin Chuan is the one who disappeared with the car that night.
But when she arrived, she found that even though it was time for club activities, the club's offices were not open at all.
The classroom door was tightly closed, and there was no sound from inside, as if no one was inside at all.
