However, Qin Chuan hasn't been to the Service Department since the last operation, so Hiratsuka Shizuka is a little concerned about it.
"So this is ah."
Qin Chuan also understood, and he could roughly guess Hiratsuka Shizuka's idea—she simply wanted Qin Chuan to talk more with Yukino Yukinoshita, and preferably let her make more friends.
However, Qin Chuan really doesn't have any reason to go find Yukino Yukinoshita right now... no, it seems like he still has one.
"Perhaps she will come to me on her own later, so you don't need to worry too much, Hiratsuka-sensei."
Qin Chu remembered that he had previously asked Yukino Yukinoshita to keep an eye on Miko Yotsuya.
When Yukino Yukinoshita meets Miko Yotsuya again, it will probably be the moment when Miko takes the initiative to come to her.
Qin Chuan now has the ability to deal with evil spirits, but he hasn't seen Yotsuya Miko yet, and he had almost forgotten about her.
Chapter 165 Kato Megumi's Sense of Urgency
Although she was skeptical of what Qin Chuan said, Hiratsuka Shizuka left still completely bewildered.
After all, Qin Chuan's usual performance was quite good, so although she didn't know what reason Qin Chuan had for Yukino Yukinoshita to take the initiative to find him, she still believed Qin Chuan's words for the time being.
After Hiratsuka Shizuka left, Qin Chuan looked at the spot where she had been standing and said with a helpless smile:
"So? Did you hear what you wanted to hear?"
Where Qin Chuan's gaze fell, there stood Kato Megumi—she had come out of the classroom when Hiratsuka Shizuka called out to Qin Chuan earlier.
After that, she stood beside Hiratsuka Shizuka, openly listening to Hiratsuka Shizuka and Qin Chuan's conversation.
As expected, Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't notice Kato Megumi at all, and didn't even glance at her until she finished talking with Qin Chuan and left.
Qin Chuan wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that ever since they met, Kato Megumi had become more inclined to take the initiative and do things in a low-key manner.
It was as if as long as Qin Chuan could see her, it didn't matter whether others noticed her or not.
"If it's about Hiratsuka-sensei trying to matchmake Agawa and Yukinoshita, then I guess I've heard something I wanted to hear."
Kato Megumi answered Qin Chuan's question in a very serious manner. Although her expression was extremely calm, Qin Chuan could see the smile in Kato Megumi's eyes.
It was obviously just a joke; she certainly couldn't have really thought that Hiratsuka Shizuka's conversation was about bringing Qin Chuan and Yukino Yukinoshita together.
Rather than saying it's more like she's simply worried that Yukino Yukinoshita's personality will make it difficult for her to get along with people normally in the future, so she wants Qin Chuan to help her correct it.
They treated Qin Chuan like a psychologist.
"So, what exactly did A-Chuan do yesterday?"
Following Qin Chuan into the classroom, Kato Megumi sat down in her seat, turned around and looked at Qin Chuan in the back seat, asking curiously.
"The fact that you asked me to help you call in sick so early in the morning means it must be something very important that happened at the last minute."
"Well... I should say it's related to certain business matters."
Qin Chuan thought for a moment, realizing that it wouldn't be appropriate to directly tell Kato Megumi that he was bringing the Kiryu Group, a yakuza organization, into contact with the Shinomiya family, so he used a more tactful approach.
After all, this statement isn't entirely wrong. As a conglomerate, it's certainly business to negotiate with the Shinomiya family.
Although the Kiryu Group is currently a yakuza organization, in the later stages, with the help of the Shinomiya family, it will inevitably develop into an organization that controls both the legal and illegal worlds.
It wouldn't be a problem to say that the Kiryu Group is also doing business—especially since the Kiryu Group currently operates bars and similar establishments, which can be considered a business operation.
"You know my family situation, so I've already started learning how to do business, otherwise I won't have any money in the future."
Kato Megumi knew that Qin Chuan was an orphan. She knew this from the time she visited Qin Chuan's house and saw that it was empty.
Of course, Kato Megumi probably never imagined that the day after she left, someone else would be moving into Qin Chuan's house.
And if nothing unexpected happens, there will be one more after today.
After all, Irisviel didn't seem to have anywhere else to go besides her house; there was no Einzbern family in this world.
"I see... A-Chuan has really worked hard."
Kato Megumi seemed to understand. Although what she was thinking was certainly far removed from Qin Chuan's actual situation, she still gave Qin Chuan a caring look.
Although she understood Qin Chuan's family situation and "understood" what Qin Chuan was doing, Kato Megumi still couldn't help but ask a question.
"So, A-Chuan isn't planning on going to university?"
Qin Chuan's grades have always been above average in school, so going to university shouldn't be a problem for him; it just depends on whether he wants to go.
Under Japan's "happy education" philosophy, many students choose to enter the workforce after graduating from high school, with academic performance and family background being among the factors.
Therefore, in Kato Megumi's view, Qin Chuan's current involvement in "doing business" suggests that he may not be planning to go to university after high school.
This put Kato Megumi in a dilemma—because she still wanted to go to university.
In the original work, she eventually got into Shinazugawa University, and in this world, she certainly didn't change her mind.
However, her wish now is not just to go to university; she also wants to go to the same university as Qin Chuan… But if Qin Chuan plans to enter the workforce directly after graduating from high school, wouldn't her wish be impossible to fulfill?
Even though it's not impossible for them to date even if Qin Chuan isn't in the same university... it would mean they wouldn't be able to spend much time together, and Kato Megumi still finds that a pity.
"University... I haven't decided yet, I'll think about it when the time comes."
Qin Chuan twirled the pen in his fingers, pondered for a while, and finally shook his head.
It's only been a short time; graduation is still a long way off, so naturally he hasn't thought about what will happen after that.
Given his current situation, it wouldn't matter if he didn't go to school. If there's nothing or no one in university that he cares about, then he can indeed ignore it.
However, who can predict the future? So Qin Chuan hasn't made any definitive statements yet.
Anyway, he just wants to relax in the everyday world. If university can make him feel relaxed, he might choose to go to university in the future.
……
During lunch break, Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi went to the rooftop together again—he hadn't asked for leave today, and Kato Megumi had prepared a bento for Qin Chuan.
At the entrance to the rooftop, it wasn't just Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi; there were two other people who had arrived even earlier than them.
"Good afternoon, Qin Chuan."
Kita Ikuyo looked at Qin Chuan, who had arrived at the rooftop entrance, with a happy smile on her face, and Kato Megumi behind him.
"Is this Kato-san? Hello, I'm Kita Ikuyo, a friend of Goto-san and Hatakawa-san."
Goto Ichiri huddled to the side, looking conflicted.
Even though she knew Qin Chuan earlier than Kita Ikuyo, judging from their behavior, someone who didn't know them might think that Kita Ikuyo and Qin Chuan 2.3 were more familiar with each other.
Hmph, even if Kita acts like she's very familiar with Qin Chuan, she doesn't know that Qin Chuan is actually a member of the underworld... This secret is probably only known to me among our peers!
The mentally active Goto Ichiri was already secretly sulking.
"Hello, I'm Megumi Kato."
Kato Megumi also greeted Kita Ikuyo politely, then looked at Qin Chuan, who was extremely calm beside her, with a somewhat subtle gaze.
Although I already knew that Goto Ichiri would be bringing someone to lunch with us... she really is a pretty girl.
Although Kato Megumi felt that she and Qin Chuan were quite close, she couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis at this moment.
Should we take a more proactive approach...?
Kato Megumi was filled with distress.
Chapter 166 Hayasaka Ai's Private Time
"It seems like Jianzi has been in a pretty good mood lately."
In another classroom, Yurikawa Hana looked at Yotsuya Miko, who was sitting opposite her eating her bento, and uttered this remark.
"Eh? Is... is that so?"
Yotsuya Miko looked slightly taken aback upon hearing this, wondering why Yurikawa Hana would suddenly say such a thing.
"Because I always had a very dejected expression on my face before."
While eating her bento, Yurikawa said to Yotsuya Miko, "She has a very strong appetite and often feels hungry."
"But Zi looks much better these past few days. Maybe he wasn't sleeping well before, and that's why he's been able to sleep well these past few days."
"Haha...that's probably it."
Yotsuya Miko smiled awkwardly, but inwardly she felt quite helpless.
The dejected expression Yurikawa mentioned earlier must have been the expression she showed when she saw those strange evil spirits, right?
It's unclear when it started, but 15-year-old Yotsuya Miko's eyes suddenly began to see many things she shouldn't see, and those things kept trying to confirm whether Yotsuya Miko could see them.
Clearly, once it's confirmed that Yotsuya Miko can see them, something unpleasant will happen.
Therefore, Yotsuya Miko had been trying her best to maintain her disguise, even when the evil spirits were right in front of her, she pretended not to see them.
That's why Yotsuya Miko's expression wasn't very good during that time, and Yurikawa Hana, as her friend, obviously noticed this.
Recently, Miko Yotsuya has looked much better because she suddenly discovered that the evil spirits at school have all disappeared.
Although you might occasionally see a few scattered evil spirits, they usually disappear the next day, as if someone were cleaning up the school.
There are a great many evil spirits. Some are obviously not to be trifled with, but some are not so harmful. It's almost as if there's an ecosystem of evil spirits in the school.
But the fact that so many evil spirits disappeared in just a few days must mean that someone was taking care of them.
Miko Yotsuya has been trying to find out who is dealing with the evil spirits at the school these past few days, but she hasn't found anyone yet.
Although evil spirits are almost nowhere to be seen at the school, Miko Yotsuya still encounters many terrifying things outside of school.
Therefore, Yotsuya Miko hopes that person can also help her solve the problems she encounters outside of school.
Two days ago, on the weekend, Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana went to a well-known fortune-telling shop to buy Buddhist prayer beads, but it was not very effective.
Although one could sense that the prayer beads did have some effect, they would still break when encountering overly powerful evil spirits, far less effective than the mysterious person in the school.
"How about we go back and ask the Service Department again..."
While echoing Yurikawa's words, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but think to herself.
She had previously gone to the Service Club and talked to Yukino Yukinoshita about some paranormal events, but Yukino Yukinoshita didn't seem to take it seriously.
Miko Yotsuya was very disappointed at the time, but after that, she noticed that the evil spirits in the school began to decrease dramatically, until now, it has almost become Miko Yotsuya's sanctuary.
If instead of asking Yukino Yukinoshita to help find a way to deal with the evil spirit, we asked her to help find someone... maybe Yukino Yukinoshita would help?
……
tear-
On the rooftop, Qin Chuan used "Blackbird" to instantly tear the new evil spirit floating on the rooftop in two.
Whether this evil spirit arose naturally within the school or drifted in from outside is unknown.
In the past few days, Qin Chuan has almost cleared out the evil spirits in the school. Although one or two new ones still appear every day, at least they are no longer an eyesore.
"I think I can feel the wind."
The movement of "Blackbird" tearing apart the evil spirit brought a gentle breeze, which Kita Ikuyo sensed, and she couldn't help but exclaim with delight.
"It feels so nice to have the wind blowing on my face."
It was fortunate that Kita Ikuyo couldn't see the evil spirit; otherwise, what kind of expression would she have if she knew that the gentle breeze that had just brushed her face was caused by "Black Bird" tearing the evil spirit apart?
Goto Ichiri seemed to have vaguely sensed something. Although she hadn't awakened a Stand, she possessed the potential to do so.
However, as a socially anxious person with little self-confidence, Goto Ichiri did not voice this feeling, simply assuming that she was having another unwarranted illusion.
After dealing with the evil spirit on the rooftop out of sight of everyone, the four of them sat on a bench on the rooftop and began to enjoy their lunch break.
Fortunately, the bench on the rooftop was long enough, otherwise it probably wouldn't have been very comfortable for four people to squeeze on it. But even so, four people were already at their limit on the bench, and it was probably impossible for a fifth person to squeeze in.
"Was A-Chuan thinking about something strange just now?"
Although Qin Chuan only imagined the scene of five people crammed into a chair, Kato Megumi keenly sensed something and turned to look at Qin Chuan.
After all, for many boys, Qin Chuan enjoying his lunch break alone on the rooftop with three beautiful girls is something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.
Add another one? Kato Megumi would probably feel even more pressured.
……
"You said you wanted to leave early?"
In the student council of Shuchiin Academy, Kaguya Shinomiya was somewhat surprised to hear what Ai Hayasaka said.
