Qin Chuan was also somewhat surprised. Although he had never met Kasumigaoka Utaha in this world, he had some knowledge of Kasumigaoka Utaha's storyline in the works before his transmigration.

I don't remember Kasumigaoka Utaha being particularly interested in paranormal events? In the original work, she didn't participate in any paranormal-related clubs, did she?

Or is it that Kasumigaoka Utaha's novel is already shifting towards the supernatural direction? Could it be that the butterfly effect is caused by the absence of Aki Tomoya at this school?

However, before Qin Chuan could reply, Kato Megumi spoke first to Kasumigaoka Utaha:

"Kasumigaoka, you may not know this, but our Paranormal Research Club doesn't actually have any club activities; it's just nominally in name only."

It's clear that Megumi Kato doesn't really want Utaha Kasumigaoka to join the Paranormal Research Club.

After all, the Paranormal Research Club is essentially just a classroom where Qin Chuan and his friends eat lunch together, and the current number of members is enough.

With Kasumigaoka Utaha joining the fray, won't we have yet another competitor?

Although Kato Megumi has basically accepted that Qin Chuan has many girls around him, she would still prefer fewer if possible.

"Just as Hui said, our department is indeed just a club in name only."

Qin Chuan smiled and glanced at Kato Megumi, fully aware of her little scheme, but he didn't refute her.

After all, the Paranormal Research Club is just for lunch, that's a fact, and he couldn't possibly actually engage in club activities for Kasumigaoka Utaha.

After school every day, he either has plans or needs to go home to play video games; he doesn't have time for these things.

Chapter 323 The Only Pure One, Goto Ichiri

"It's alright, I already know about this from Yotsuya-kun."

Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to have anticipated Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi's answers, and replied with a smile as she tossed her long hair.

"Anyway, I don't have any clubs, so it doesn't matter if it's just a nominal one. Please let me join the Paranormal Research Club. I'm quite interested in paranormal events."

Although that's what she said, Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes were almost always fixed on Qin Chuan when she said those words, her gaze never leaving him.

Rather than being interested in paranormal events, this attitude seems more like an interest in Qin Chuan as a person.

"I see... If it's just a nominal position, then it doesn't matter."

Although he didn't know why Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed so interested in him, Qin Chuan had no reason to refuse since she didn't mind that the club was just a nominal one.

Having more members can also prevent the club from being targeted by teachers. A club with more members is more reassuring to teachers than a club with just enough members.

Although Qin Chuan had already secured the outcome that the club would not disband with "Blackbird Requiem," he probably wouldn't have been targeted even if he hadn't done so.

As for Kasumigaoka Utaha saying she's interested in paranormal events... this makes Qin Chuan wonder if Kasumigaoka Utaha has also become able to see evil spirits like Yotsuya Miko?

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan also released the "Blackbird Requiem". The pitch-black figure floated beside Qin Chuan and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha showed no reaction, just like the other students in the class, and didn't even glance at "Blackbird Requiem".

Clearly, she wasn't an exception like Yotsuya Miko, and Qin Chuan immediately lost interest.

"Okay, I'll put your name on the form later."

Qin Chuan nodded and agreed to Kasumigaoka Utaha's application to join the club—we'll find out what Kasumigaoka Utaha thinks later anyway.

If she really just wants to join a club in name only, then Qin Chuan wouldn't mind; he'd just consider it filling up the club's membership.

"So, as a member, it shouldn't be a problem for me to get the department head's contact information, right?"

Seeing that Qin Chuan had agreed, Kasumigaoka Utaha's smile became even wider. She took out her phone, looked at Qin Chuan with a smile, and asked.

The application to join the club was just a pretext; this was probably Kasumigaoka Utaha's real purpose.

……

Exchanging contact information with Kasumigaoka Utaha was just a minor incident, and Qin Chuan didn't take it to heart.

However, for some people who care about Qin Chuan, this was no small incident—it was the first time many of them had seen Qin Chuan in close contact with another beautiful girl.

Of course, this is under the premise of ignoring Kato Megumi—most people in the class didn't realize that Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi had a pretty good relationship.

And so, the morning passed. As usual, Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi got up and left the classroom together, preparing to go to the Paranormal Research Club's classroom for lunch.

After Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi left the classroom, Ebina Hina looked at Miura Yumiko, who was standing beside her with a conflicted expression, and said with a hint of disappointment:

"So, you're still not mentally prepared? That's Kasumigaoka-kun. If you don't make a move soon, Qin Chuan-kun might really be snatched away."

Yumiko Miura's face flushed slightly, but in the end, she couldn't say anything in rebuttal.

Although she usually acts very arrogant, she becomes unusually timid when it comes to things related to Qin Chuan, completely unlike her usual queenly demeanor.

Hina Ebina even called it "gap moe" (a Japanese term for cuteness due to contrast). Although Yumiko Miura didn't understand it, it should be considered a kind of compliment. But in the end, no matter how cute the gap moe is, if Qin Chuan doesn't notice it, it's all for nothing, right?

Hina Ebina had just been urging Yumiko Miura to invite Qin Chuan to lunch, but Yumiko hesitated and ultimately backed down.

Hina Ebina looked at Yumiko Miura, sighed helplessly, and even dragged Yui Yuigahama into joining in the condemnation of her:

“Yubihama, you tell us about her too. How could someone like her possibly be related to Qin Chuan? I doubt Qin Chuan has even noticed her.”

"It shouldn't be that bad, right..."

Yui Yuigahama, standing to the side, smiled awkwardly, unsure of how to respond.

Although she said it wasn't that bad, Yui Yuigahama couldn't help but sigh for Yumiko Miura in her heart when she thought of the marks left on Qin Chuan's neck that she had seen yesterday.

Perhaps, just as Ebina Hina said, his hesitation allowed other girls to beat him to it.

As this happened, Yui Yuigahama suddenly thought of herself—she had recently been admiring Qin Chuan and wanted to be friends with him.

However, like Miura Yumiko, she was somewhat timid and only dared to look at Qin Chuan from afar, not even daring to go up and talk to him.

Now that I think about it, I'm not trying to compete with Miura Yumiko for Qin Chuan. I just want to make friends with Qin Chuan. It shouldn't be a big problem, right?

……

"Applying to join the club? That Kasumigaoka Utaha?"

During lunch, Eriri also heard Qin Chuan talk about Kasumigaoka Utaha's application to join the club that morning.

For some reason, Eriri felt physically uncomfortable as soon as she heard the name, and a look of disgust appeared on her face.

"Why would that guy apply to join the club? Especially knowing that the club doesn't hold any activities after school."

"Maybe he just wants to be affiliated with a club? After all, there are some school rules that only students who are members of clubs can enjoy these privileges."

Kita Ikuyo didn't have any negative feelings towards Kasumigaoka Utaha. She acted the same as usual, only making up some reasons for Kasumigaoka Utaha from her own perspective.

However, something is a little different from before. Now, every time Kita Ikuyo says a sentence, she will subconsciously steal a glance at Qin Chuan.

She still vividly remembers the sounds of Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi doing that kind of thing that she overheard before, and she even dreams about it when she sleeps at night.

"No...isn't it good too? If there are too many people, the teacher will probably ignore our club even more, right?"

Goto Ichiri, standing nearby, shared the same thought as Qin Chuan—they were eating lunch in the clubroom but not conducting club activities, and if the teacher found out, they would definitely be disbanded.

If there are more members, it will at least look more like a normal club, and it will be less likely to be noticed by the teachers.

Upon hearing Goto Ichiri's words, everyone in the classroom glanced at her, making Goto Ichiri feel a little nervous.

"W-what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, it's nothing, you're quite right."

Qin Chuan also looked at Goto Ichiri, eating meatballs while pondering.

Looking at it this way, it seems that only Goto Ichiri and his relationship in the classroom are still considered pure.

Eriri and Kato Megumi aside, Kita Ikuyo had also overheard the sounds of her battle with Kato Megumi. Only Goto Ichiri still retained her untainted beauty.

I've already seen Chapter 324.

After school, at a cafe near the private Toyonosaki School.

Fujiwara Chika sat in a seat inside, eating a parfait while looking nervously at everyone who entered the cafe.

Because the nearby private Toyonosaki School has let out for the day, more and more people are coming to this cafe.

Or rather, more and more couples started coming to this cafe—which made Fujiwara Chika feel a little uneasy.

Unfortunately, all the seats around her were occupied by couples, leaving Fujiwara Chika sitting alone, making her feel like an oddity.

Although the couples didn't seem to care about Fujiwara Chika, she still felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but feel as if she was being looked down upon.

"It's okay, I have an appointment. I just need to wait for the person to arrive..."

As Fujiwara Chika consoled herself, she continued to rummage through the parfait in her cup—she suddenly regretted sitting down alone in the shop earlier than planned.

It would be better to wait for someone to arrive at the school gate and then go into the coffee shop together, so as not to sit here alone in such an awkward situation.

Finally, after a agonizing wait, Fujiwara Chika saw the person she was waiting for walk through the door of the café.

It was Qin Chuan, whom we hadn't been able to have a proper conversation with yesterday.

"This way!"

Before Qin Chuan could even ask the waiter, Fujiwara Chika quickly stood up, waved to Qin Chuan, and indicated that she was over there.

Qin Chuan also noticed Fujiwara Chika. He walked over and sat down in the seat opposite her, asking somewhat helplessly:

"Why are you contacting me again? I thought you wouldn't be contacting me anytime soon."

Qin Chuan was quite surprised to receive a message from Fujiwara Chika at school during the afternoon class, asking him to come to this coffee shop after school.

I thought that what I did with Hayasaka Ai yesterday would be enough to make Fujiwara Chika too shy to bother me for a while.

But they clearly underestimated Fujiwara Chika's determination—for Shinomiya Kaguya, even though it was a bit shameful, Fujiwara Chika was still willing to give it her all.

Moreover, this time Fujiwara Chika learned her lesson; she didn't tell Hayasaka Ai and came alone.

After all, she already knew that there was some unclear relationship between Hayasaka Ai and Qin Chuan. If she called Hayasaka Ai over, wouldn't that be humiliating herself?

In fact, even without Hayasaka Ai, just seeing Qin Chuan now makes Fujiwara Chika think of the scenes she saw yesterday, and her mind becomes a bit confused.

"I came to find you because you are very likely to become Kaguya's husband in the future."

Fujiwara Chika's face was slightly flushed, clearly indicating that yesterday's events had left a deep impression on her, making it difficult for her to remain calm when facing Qin Chuan.

But as Kaguya Shinomiya's best friend, Chika Fujiwara felt obligated to help Kaguya Shinomiya correct the personality of her future husband.

"I can't let Kaguya fall into the hands of a philanderer, so I think it's necessary to have a serious talk with you."

"What to talk about?"

However, the voice that answered Fujiwara Chika was not Qin Chuan, but another somewhat ethereal female voice.

The female voice came from behind Fujiwara Chika—and Fujiwara Chika recognized the voice.

Upon hearing the voice, Fujiwara Chika froze and turned around to look.

Sure enough, Hayasaka Ai was standing behind him, looking at him with a half-smile, her eyes seeming to say, "Go on, why aren't you continuing?"

"Hayasaka-san, what are you doing here?"

Fujiwara Chika immediately felt that she could no longer speak fluently.

"I asked her to come. After all, didn't you two come together yesterday?"

Qin Chuan picked up the coffee the waiter brought, took a sip, and said calmly.

"So after I got your contact, I asked Hayasaka, and she said she would come too."

"Yeah...that's true too."

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's answer, Fujiwara Chika looked as if she was about to cry.

Yes, although she didn't invite Hayasaka Ai, Qin Chuan and Hayasaka Ai definitely have each other's contact information.

If Qin Chuan asked Hayasaka Ai, Hayasaka Ai would immediately realize that it was Fujiwara Chika who was planning to meet Qin Chuan on her own.

That's why Hayasaka Ai caught him red-handed.

Looking at Hayasaka Ai sitting next to Qin Chuan, Fujiwara Chika felt that the situation was somewhat unexpected, but she quickly calmed down.

0 ······Requesting flowers· ······

It's okay. Even if Hayasaka Ai comes, so what? I can still persuade Qin Chuan to be a single-minded person!

……

"Why did you come here again!?"

Half an hour later, seeing Hayasaka Ai and Qin Chuan lead her back to the lobby of the hotel from yesterday, Fujiwara Chika finally couldn't help but shout out.
