They went to the Paranormal Research Department's office for lunch as usual, leaving behind only the students' discussions about Qin Chuan's recent "romantic luck."

……

Something's not right. Something's definitely not right.

During lunch break, Yukino Yukinoshita originally planned to go to the Paranormal Research Club to find Qin Chuan.

But immediately after she made this decision, a senior student from the student council came to her door, saying she wanted to discuss matters concerning the Service Club.

Although the Service Club was established with the approval of teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka, it did not meet the basic requirements for a club in many aspects, so it was understandable that the student council approached it.

But the problem was that it happened too coincidentally. Just when he was about to go to the Paranormal Research Department to find someone, the student council members appeared at the classroom door as if they were some kind of elite monsters.

If, like yesterday, a teacher or classmate asked Yukino Yukinoshita for a favor, she was already prepared to refuse.

But this time she really couldn't refuse—if she ignored the student council's discussion of the club, the Service Club might not be able to stay, and even Hiratsuka Shizuka wouldn't be able to help.

So at this point, Yukino Yukinoshita could only patiently discuss with the student council upperclassmen things like the club's future development and functions.

However, at this moment, she had even deeper doubts about whether this abnormal situation was due to Qin Chuan's abilities.

What Yukino Yukinoshita didn't know was that, although she wasn't in the same class, other girls were experiencing the same situation as her.

……

"Wow, that's amazing! It seems the rumors were true after all; Miyamoto-kun's marksmanship is incredible!"

In the training room of the spear fighting club, the club president showed a surprised expression. She looked at Miyamoto Rei, who had put down her wooden spear, and said earnestly.

"Miyamoto-kun, you absolutely must join the spearmanship club!"

Spear fighting is a significant style in ancient Japanese martial arts, but it has never been very well-known, so some schools do not have a spear fighting club.

However, whether it was good luck or not, both schools Miyamoto Rei attended before and after her transfer had a gunnery club, and she was the ace member of the gunnery club before the transfer.

The news had somehow gotten out, so at noon today, the head of the spear fighting club came to Miyamoto Rei's door and took her to the spear fighting club for some practice.

"Joining the spear club shouldn't be a problem..."

Miyamoto Rei was somewhat helpless. She had planned to go to the Paranormal Research Club at noon, but as soon as she stepped out of the classroom, she was pulled over by the head of the Marksmanship Club.

Normally, would a department head come to the classroom in the middle of the day to recruit students into the department? Isn't it usually done after school?

Rei Miyamoto wasn't quite sure what was going on, but after being delayed by other matters for several days in a row and unable to go to the Paranormal Research Club at noon, she began to wonder if she was just having bad luck lately.

If it were an ordinary person, missing several opportunities in a row would probably make them feel that they had no affinity with the Paranormal Research Department, and they would just give up.

However, Miyamoto Rei went there on a mission, and her father seemed to have a rather strange sense of respect for Qin Chuan, reminding her to thank Qin Chuan every day.

"If I still can't go to the Paranormal Research Club next noon, I'll just have to wait for him at the school gate after school..."

As Miyamoto Rei received her application form from the head of the Rifle Club, she filled in her name while pondering the situation.

The reason Miyamoto Rei didn't go directly to Qin Chuan's classroom to find him was because she was worried that if she suddenly showed up, it might cause some kind of scandal.

However, Miyamoto Masashi seemed to be in a hurry, so Miyamoto Rei also made a decision in her heart.

……

Qin Chuan was unaware that two girls were struggling with the fact that they couldn't come to the Paranormal Research Department. He was currently having lunch with the girls in the department office.

During lunch, Qin Chuan would chat with the girls about everyday things—a feeling he quite enjoyed, and a way to relax.

Ultimately, although he had experience with time travel, Qin Chuan was not very old before he traveled, and he did not experience more than ten years of life after he traveled.

He is still mentally young and at an age where he can enjoy everyday life.

"So, is Kato really planning to join the band?"

At that moment, Kita Ikuyo and the others were surprised and delighted when they heard Kato Megumi say that she wanted to learn a musical instrument.

After all, Kato Megumi usually hangs out with the band after school, so they are naturally very happy to have her join the band.

"Then I'll have to consider buying an electronic piano... but I don't know much about that."

Goto Ichiri, standing to the side, had a more practical approach—if Kato Megumi wanted to join the band as a keyboardist, she would first have to consider buying an instrument.

Unfortunately, Goto Ichiri didn't know much about electronic pianos, and Kita Ikuyo was a complete novice in the band, so neither of them could offer any advice on the subject.

"Why don't you just go find Manager Ichichi? Didn't she say she was in a band when she was young?"

As the saying goes, those involved are often confused while bystanders see things clearly. Eriri immediately offered a solution—to seek help from Ijichi Seika.

As the owner of LiveHouse, Ijichi Hoshika also participated in a band when she was young, so she definitely knows more about choosing instruments than these young people.

"Then let's ask about it this weekend."

Kita Ikuyo smiled and made the decision, then (for goodness' sake) glanced thoughtfully at Qin Chuan, and asked a question as if it were unintentional.

"Qin Chuan, are you free this weekend? Would you like to come along?"

"The weekend... I have plans for both days of the weekend."

Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then thought about his plans for the weekend.

Tomorrow is Saturday, and my weekend is packed with plans.

I'm going out with Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara on Saturday, and if nothing unexpected happens, Ai Hayasaka will come along too.

On Sunday, I had a date with Yumiko Miura and her group, which we had just arranged this morning during the first break between classes.

"But I should still be available in the evening."

Of course, seeing that Kita Ikuyo seemed a little disappointed, Qin Chuan still added a comment about her being young.

Since LiveHouses typically operate primarily in the evenings, Qin Chuan can still join us if we're meeting in the evening.

Chapter 510 Yukino Yukinoshita After School

During the last class before school ended, Qin Chuan received a rather unexpected message on his phone.

This message was sent by someone he hadn't contacted for quite some time, and Qin Chuan had almost forgotten that such a person even existed.

He opened LINE and saw the name "Yukino Yukinoshita" at the top of his phone screen, along with a message from Yukino Yukinoshita below.

"Are you free after school? Could you come over to serve me?"

Although it might sound narcissistic, Qin Chuan has indeed been getting invited out of the house by girls quite a lot lately.

These are some of the girls who already live at Qin Chuan's house and see him every day, so there's no need to deliberately invite Qin Chuan to join them. Otherwise, Qin Chuan would probably be even busier.

Qin Chuan and Yukino Yukinoshita did exchange contact information, but apart from the few days they helped Akagi, they didn't have much communication.

At this moment, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly contacted him, and Qin Chuan guessed that it might be related to Haruno Yukinoshita.

It's understandable that he would make such a connection, after all, Yukino Yukinoshita had just contacted him yesterday, and the very next day he received a call from Yukino Yukinoshita asking him to go to the Service Club.

Could it be that Yukino Yukinoshita discovered she didn't have the aptitude for Stands, so she wanted Yukino Yukinoshita to give it a try?

The first thought that came to Qin Chuan's mind was that Yukinoshita Haruno was not the kind of person who would let her younger sister get involved in the affairs of the 310 family.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence; it just so happened that Yukino Yukinoshita had something to ask Qin Chuan the day after her sister had looked for him.

"I do have free time."

Qin Chuan didn't think much of it and replied to Yukino Yukinoshita, "It's class time now. I didn't expect that a top student like Yukino Yukinoshita would play on her phone during class."

However, the moment he finished replying, a "read" message appeared on LINE, and a few seconds later, Yukino Yukinoshita's reply popped up:

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the Service Club after school."

It seems that Yukino Yukinoshita has been holding her phone, waiting for Qin Chuan's reply. This makes Qin Chuan a little curious about what Yukino Yukinoshita wanted to talk to him about.

……

After school, Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi did not go home together.

After all, Kato Megumi was going to Shimokitazawa with Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo to meet up with the other members of the band who had finished their business, and she also wanted to tell them about her desire to join the band.

After watching Kato Megumi leave, Qin Chuan picked up his schoolbag and prepared to head to the Service Club.

Without encountering any other unexpected events along the way, Qin Chuan quickly arrived at the Service Department. After knocking on the door, he simply pushed it open and went inside.

 (bgei) The Service Club's room was still arranged as before, with only Yukino Yukinoshita sitting quietly reading a book. It seemed she hadn't had any requests lately. ⑵

Because Hachiman Hikigaya is absent, the development of the Service Club is completely different from what Qin Chuan knew; so far, it only has Yukino Yukinoshita.

Honestly, if it weren't for Hiratsuka Shizuka protecting them, this club, which couldn't even muster enough members, would have been disbanded long ago. (Mio)

Consider that Qin Chuan needed Yotsuya Miko to fill a quota when establishing the Paranormal Research Club, while Yukino Yukinoshita's Service Club didn't have that problem. It's undeniable that having someone protecting you is a huge advantage.

"You've arrived?"

Hearing the knock and the door open, Yukino Yukinoshita looked up, a strange look appearing on her face when she saw Qin Chuan walk in.

"What do you need me for?" (Delete)

Qin Chuan didn't stand on ceremony, pulling up a chair from the side and sitting down. He looked at Yukino Yukinoshita with some curiosity, wanting to hear what she wanted to see him about. *Hiss*

"Could it be that they've encountered some difficult task and need to seek outside help?"

Since he had participated in the Service Club's activities when he helped Akagi before, it wasn't a problem for Qin Chuan to ask this question—he was someone who had experience as an outside helper.

In fact, many clubs in the school often borrow help from other clubs when participating in important events, so it is reasonable for the Service Department to seek help from outside if it encounters a difficult request.

"...In a sense, it is indeed a request that is very difficult for me to complete."

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed helplessly, then said to Qin Chuan.

"Do you remember Busujima-san? She's the girl I took you to the kendo dojo before."

When talking about this, Yukino Yukinoshita seemed to recall the imposing aura Qin Chuan exuded when he wielded his sword, and couldn't help but glance at Qin Chuan again.

Qin Chuan didn't notice Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze; he was simply somewhat surprised.

"So she's connected to Busujima? Of course I remember her, what happened to her?"

He remembered that Saeko Busujima had come to spar with him one last time a couple of days ago, and he should have clearly refused to go to the Busujima family's kendo dojo to learn kendo again.

In the original work, Saeko Busujima is a character who "guards the last vestige of dignity for men." Although she is exceptionally strong in combat, she has the typical Yamato Nadeshiko attitude when it comes to men.

Logically speaking, since she had already promised not to force Qin Chuan to continue learning swordsmanship, she should have kept her promise.

Unless... her purpose in having Yukino Yukinoshita find her this time was not her own will, nor was it to make her learn swordsmanship?

"Well... Busujima-kun wants me to tell you something."

Looking into Qin Chuan's eyes, Yukino Yukinoshita slowly revealed the purpose of her visit.

"She told me to tell you that the Busujima family wanted to use her to win you over, but she refused—but her family doesn't seem to be giving up, so they might try to contact you in other ways."

"Oh? That's what she said?"

Qin Chuan was taken aback when she heard this. She had originally thought that Saeko Busujima had to come out and contact Qin Chuan again because of her family.

Unexpectedly, Saeko Busujima only wanted Yukino Yukinoshita to convey her purpose regarding the Busujima family—it seems Saeko Busujima is quite trustworthy and has no intention of bothering her.

Or rather, even if she was going to approach him, she didn't want Qin Chuan to misunderstand that it was because of family reasons.

"So, if anyone contacts you in the future with a reason like 'Saeko Busujima wants to see you,' just don't take it seriously."

Yukino Yukinoshita continued.

"If Busujima really wants to see you, she will come to you directly without needing to contact you in advance... that's what she said."

"That's it, I understand."

Qin Chuan nodded, feeling even more favorably disposed toward Saeko Busujima—he was indeed very averse to trouble, and Saeko Busujima's reminder would save him from being bothered by some boring people.

Of course, the Busujima family had better keep their eyes open. Although Qin Chuan didn't really want to cause trouble in the everyday world, he wouldn't mind doing something to annoy someone.

"So you specifically called me to the Service Department just to relay Busujima's message? You could have just sent me this message on your phone, right?"

"That's only one of my purposes... More importantly, I want to see if I'll ever see you again."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Qin Chuan with a somewhat strange gaze, and then asked in a complicated tone.

"Are you... using some special method to avoid me? Why is it that every time I try to go to the Paranormal Research Department to find you lately, I can't get away for various reasons?"

Chapter 511 Using Yukino Yukinoshita for research

"……oh?"

Upon hearing Yukino Yukinoshita's question, Qin Chuan smiled with great interest.

He understood. Yukino Yukinoshita seemed to want to come to him, but coincidentally, she always chose to visit him at noon.

To prevent anyone from disturbing their lunch, Qin Chuan had already used the "Blackbird Requiem" ability to ensure that "unrelated personnel cannot approach the Paranormal Research Department at noon."
