I wonder if what I did just now improved her mood.

……

"It's over so quickly this time?"

Back in the classroom, Qin Chuan had just sat down in his seat when he saw Kato Megumi in the row in front of him turn around and look at him with a somewhat surprised expression.

When Kita Ikuyo left Qin Chuan behind alone, Kato Megumi had already guessed what was going to happen.

Eriri and Goto Ichiri clearly didn't notice anything, but Kato Megumi was quite perceptive.

Kato Megumi originally thought that Qin Chuan and Kita Ikuyo might miss a few classes, but unexpectedly, Qin Chuan returned before the lunch break was over.

It's only been a dozen minutes, right? How could Qin Chuan's constitution end in just a dozen minutes? Could it be that Kita Ikuyo is some kind of super succubus?

"What are you thinking about? You didn't do anything like that."

Qin Chuan looked at Kato Megumi with some annoyance—just because the two of them did that kind of thing doesn't mean that everyone else and Qin Chuan will do the same.

Although kissing is a very intimate thing, it's still quite different from what Kato Megumi did before.

"Hmm...is that so?"

Kato Megumi's expression seemed to brighten a bit, perhaps because she heard that Qin Chuan and Kita Ikuyo hadn't broken through that level.

"In that case, Kita-san and the band's duet should be able to resume normally after school today, right? She's been feeling really guilty these past few days."

"You and the End Band have really gotten along well."

Qin Chuan watched Kato Megumi talking about ending the band, looking like the band's manager.

"Why don't you join the End of the Band? Are you interested?"

In the original work, Kato Megumi was actually quite free, able to be dragged into joining a club and doing activities she had never experienced before.

However, Kato Megumi's future path has clearly changed. Instead of getting involved in games or similar things, she has come into contact with the End Band and is becoming increasingly familiar with them.

In the past few days, when I was chatting with Megumi Kato while slacking off, she would even talk about which bands she had been listening to lately and what emotions she had heard in those songs.

It's fair to say that Kato Megumi has become increasingly interested in music, and her work has taken a completely different turn from the original.

"Hmm... I'm somewhat interested, but I think I'll pass."

Actually, this wasn't the first time Qin Chuan had suggested that Kato Megumi join the End Band. However, Kato Megumi had directly refused the previous suggestion, but this time, she hesitated for a moment.

Of course, after hesitating, I still declined, but not because I had lost interest in the band, but for other reasons:

"The band's lineup was already very good: guitarist, bassist, drummer, rhythm guitarist/vocalist... If we had to add someone else, it would only be the keyboardist."

As she spoke, she sighed:

"The requirements for keyboardists are too high. If you have to start learning from scratch, it's not like rhythm guitarists who can get started quickly. If I wanted to join now, it would be too late."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's first thought was of the "Mental Time Chamber"—5.2 If Kato Megumi were to go to the Mental Time Chamber to practice, wouldn't she be able to "learn quickly in a day"?

But that thought was immediately dismissed.

Putting aside how to explain the origin of the "Mental Time Chamber," even if it were Kato Megumi, she wouldn't want to practice synthesizers alone in an empty room for a year, right?

Just thinking about it is torture.

Although Megumi Kato has not officially joined the End of the Band, judging from her recent relationship with the band, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she has.

However, they joined not as performers, but more as logistics personnel.

During lunch, Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo would occasionally talk about the end of the band, and at that time they also mentioned how much help Kato Megumi had given them.

It's clear that they've come to see Kato Megumi as an indispensable part of ending the band.

Chapter 346 The Application for Joining the Club by a Popular Girl

At Ebina Hina's urging, Miura Yumiko finally got a club application form and filled out the Paranormal Research Club.

It's no secret that Qin Chuan founded a club called the Paranormal Research Department, given his recent rise to fame and the fact that many people are paying attention to his actions.

However, although many girls were interested in Qin Chuan, very few actually tried to apply to join the Paranormal Research Department.

After all, many girls have already joined their clubs. Asking them to leave their clubs just to try to get closer to a boy with little chance of success would seem too radical and not worth it.

However, Yumiko Miura did not have this concern.

On the one hand, she hadn't joined any other clubs and always hung out with her friends after school. Now, there might just be club activities after school, which she could totally accept.

Of course, she was unaware that the Paranormal Research Club did not have any after-school activities.

On the other hand, she was quite confident in her looks—other girls thought it was unlikely she had a chance of pursuing Qin Chuan, but Miura Yumiko felt it was very possible.

However, after receiving the application forms, Miura Yumiko suddenly felt a little nervous, so after hesitating for a while, she also made two forms for Ebina Hina and Yuigahama Yui.

"...How come I got it too?"

When Ebina Hina saw the club application form handed to her by Miura Yumiko, she was completely dumbfounded.

She recommended Miura Yumiko to join the Paranormal Research Club because Miura Yumiko always watched Qin Chuan from afar but couldn't find a chance to get close, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

But Ebina Hina had no feelings for Qin Chuan. So why did Miura Yumiko submit an application form to her as well, wanting her to join the Paranormal Research Club?

However, after seeing the ashamed expression on Miura Yumiko's face, Ebina Hina knew that this girl was backing down again, so she hoped to get her friends involved to boost her courage.

Hina Ebina scratched her head helplessly and turned to look at Yui Yuigahama beside her:

"Yuihama, why don't you tell us about Miura too? Why don't you let your friends too...? You've already filled out the form!?"

Originally, Hina Ebina wanted Yui Yuigahama to help her talk to Yumiko Miura so that she could join the club herself.

When I turned around, I saw Yui Yuigahama already slumped over the table, having written the Paranormal Research Club and her own name on the form, and even filled in a lot of words about her reason for joining.

"……what?"

Upon hearing Hina Ebina's retort, Yui Yuigahama looked up in a daze, seemingly unaware of why Hina Ebina was reacting so strongly.

She didn't think too much about it. When she heard that Miura Yumiko wanted them to join the Paranormal Research Club, she filled out the application form immediately.

Because she has a rather easygoing personality, she almost always complies with Miura Yumiko's requests.

It's fortunate that Miura Yumiko isn't a bad person; on the contrary, she cares a lot about her friends. Otherwise, with Yui Yuigahama's personality, she would definitely have been bullied.

Furthermore, Yui Yuigahama had always admired Qin Chuan, so she didn't feel there was anything wrong with joining Qin Chuan's club; on the contrary, she was quite happy to do so.

"Never mind... they're both troublesome guys."

Seeing Yui Yuigahama's somewhat confused expression and Yumiko Miura's nervous look, Hina Ebina could only sigh and fill in her name on the application form.

Anyway, she hadn't joined any clubs, and considering how unreliable her two friends were, she had no choice but to go along with them.

……

"You guys want to join the Paranormal Research Department too?"

As school was about to end, Yui Yuigahama came to Qin Chuan's seat and handed him the three application forms.

Qin Chuan picked up the application form and his expression became a little strange—Miura Yumiko, Yuigahama Yui, and Ebina Hina, these are all girls from popular social groups.

Qin Chuan was a little confused as to why these three people would suddenly come to apply to join the Paranormal Research Department.

"They couldn't all be after me, could they?"

Looking at the application form in his hand, Qin Chuan had a thought in his mind—but then he thought again, he didn't seem to have had much contact with these three people.

After all, he had never joined their group of popular people. Although he was occasionally invited, he always politely declined.

But if they weren't here for me... these three don't seem like the type to be interested in paranormal events, do they?

Or is it that girls' interests have changed, shifting from pursuing fashion to seeking excitement?

Not quite understanding, Qin Chuan didn't immediately refuse Yui Yuigahama, but instead said to her:

"Although you wrote a very detailed statement in your application, I still have to tell you... the Paranormal Research Club doesn't have any club activities; it's just a club in name only."

Of course, the most important function is to provide a compliant department so that Qin Chuan and his team have a place to have lunch.

"Huh? No club activities?"

Yui Yuigahama was taken aback—but Yumiko Miura applied to join the club precisely so that she could have more contact with Qin Chuan.

Although Qin Chuan had mentioned this to Kasumigaoka Utaha yesterday, the classroom was noisy at the time, and Yui and the others who were far away from Qin Chuan did not hear it.

Although it wasn't quite what she expected, Yui Yuigahama still nodded:

"Yes, we will still apply to join."

"...Then I agree. From today onwards, you are also members of the Paranormal Research Department."

Qin Chuan smiled helplessly. Although he didn't know why these three people would suddenly choose to join the Paranormal Research Department, he didn't intend to refuse them.

Even if it's just a nominal appointment, it's fine.

"Well, Qin Chuan, could we exchange contact information?"

Seeing that Qin Chuan had accepted the application forms, Yui Yuigahama quickly took out her phone.

Although there are no club activities, it would be great to get Qin Chuan's contact information through this opportunity.

This wasn't simply for Miura Yumiko's sake; Yui Yuigahama herself also wanted to know Qin Chuan's contact information.

Qin Chuan didn't mind, took out his phone, and exchanged contact information with Yui Yuigahama.

Yui Yuigahama smiled after getting Qin Chuan's number, and then returned to Yumiko Miura and Hina Ebina.

However, seeing Qin Chuan exchange contact information with another cute girl, Kato Megumi turned back and looked at Qin Chuan with a somewhat subtle expression.

The resentment in his eyes was self-evident.

Chapter 347 I'm Sorry, Kaguya-san

Qin Chuan didn't have any plans after school today, so he planned to go straight home to play games.

But as soon as he stepped out of the school gate, he was amused and annoyed by a figure blocking his way:

"Fujiwara-san, this is the third day in a row. Aren't you tired?"

Qin Chuan rubbed his temples, looking at the guy in front of him who was dressed in casual clothes, wearing sunglasses and a mask, with a bit of a headache.

Although she was indeed disguised, making it impossible for anyone to recognize her at first glance as the female student from Xiuzhi Academy who had come to see Qin Chuan a couple of days ago, the black bow in her hair remained firmly in place.

The black bow hanging on her pink bangs was practically Fujiwara Chika's identity card; you could tell who she was at a glance.

This marks the third consecutive day that Fujiwara Chika has waited for her at the school gate after school.

Three times, oh three times.

However, on the first day, she invited Hayasaka Ai to come along, but Hayasaka Ai and Qin Chuan's intimate behavior immediately deterred her.

The next day, she learned her lesson and didn't contact Hayasaka Ai, but only informed Qin Chuan. Little did she know that Qin Chuan would immediately tell Hayasaka Ai about it.

As a result, Hayasaka Ai reappeared and once again tricked Fujiwara Chika into going to the hotel room, where she even witnessed something more intimate.

Today, Fujiwara Chika has learned her lesson once again. She didn't even notify Qin Chuan, but instead went directly to the entrance of the private Toyonosaki School to ambush him!

To avoid causing a commotion and being discovered by Qin Chuan in advance, she put on a disguise, and the effect seemed to be quite good.

Although people who know her can recognize her just by looking at the black bow on her bangs.

However, in the entire private Toyonosaki School, only Qin Chuan could recognize himself by this feature; the other students did not recognize him.

"This is all for Kaguya's future!"

Fujiwara Chika crossed her arms over her chest, looking quite proud, probably very pleased with her status as a good friend.

After all, Qin Chuan is Kaguya Shinomiya's "fiancé". Although it's not officially settled yet, it will probably be confirmed at the dinner party this weekend.

It's already Friday, and the banquet is on Sunday night, so Fujiwara Chika naturally needs to win Qin Chuan back and make him a good man within these two days!

"Fujiwara-kun, I'm saying this for your own good. You'd better not provoke me today."

Qin Chuan squinted at Fujiwara Chika—the current Qin Chuan was not one to be easily provoked.

After all, he had been treated like that by Kita Ikuyo at noon, but he hadn't managed to finish the job, so Qin Chuan was a little restless inside.

Qin Chuan didn't force Kita Yuyo—although he felt that Kita Yuyo probably wouldn't refuse even if he did, he was willing to give the girl he had known for so long some time to accept it.

But he wasn't that close to Fujiwara Chika, and if he continued to provoke her, who knew what he might do.

"What...what do you mean?"
