A guide to survival in a heavy girl's world

Chihaya Tetsuya admitted without hesitation.

"In a sense, this is also my ambition to enter the fashion industry."

If you want to create a personal brand, you need a concept that can support the future of the entire brand.

If one wants to gain a foothold in the fashion industry, what he needs is the ambition to keep moving forward.

Chihaya Tetsuya's personal philosophy was determined the moment he decided to become a designer: warmth and comfort.

What about ambition?

For this young man who is about to have his own personal brand, what ambitions does he have for his own designs?

"Just as people always look to their idols to pursue their own desired beliefs and dreams, I hope the clothes I make can do the same. Whether it's providing companionship that dispels loneliness and anxiety with comfort and warmth, or encouraging self-expression with glamour and fashion... In short, I hope my clothes are more than just 'wear', but can also give others the 'strength' they need in this moment."

Chihaya Tetsuya said:

"This time is the same. I hope my clothes can also be of help to Chuhua. Although I know you have never asked me to do such a thing, but... who says I am a designer? I hope you will understand this level of self-determination."

"..."

So, the identity of a fashion designer is really a bit too cunning.

No matter how embarrassing the compliments or encouragement are, they can be easily explained away with vague terms like "the designer's opinion" or "ambition."

Or perhaps this was why he could say these words without batting an eyelid? He used work as a cover for his kindness, and used self-assertion to describe his gentleness...

But in fact, if this was really just his own initiative, then it would be impossible for him to make clothes that suited other people's tastes so well.

Whether it was the exclusive performance costume for Ai, or the team uniform that gave guidance and encouragement to the girls in the band, or now this gorgeous gauze dress that made her charm and confidence fully bloom, it was enough to prove how complex and careful observation and thinking he had done before making these clothes.

"So... you're not as frank as everyone thinks."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"nothing."

Sanjiao Chuhua quietly looked away.

"I was just thinking that you really didn't listen to my warning at all."

If this continues, won't she just wear this gauze dress just for someone, like love?

With this complaint mixed with joy and resentment, Sanjiao Chuhua sighed deeply in his heart.

Chapter 55: The "Selfless" Proposal.

"Okay, so now the only thing left is the outer layer to provide the shading effect."

After writing down everything that needed to be changed in his notes, Chihaya Tetsu nodded to Sankaku Hatsuka.

"Thank you for your hard work, Chuhua. Leave the rest to me."

"..."

Sanjiao Chuhua was silent for a moment, then asked:

"Have you ever thought about what will happen after the May Live?"

"kindness?"

When Chihaya Tetsuya heard this question, he immediately showed a very strange expression.

"Of course I've considered it. After all, I'm going to start my own business soon."

"...I don't mean work-related, but emotionally."

Sanjiao Chuhua shook his head.

"Or to put it more directly, are you ready to deal with awakened love?"

"what?"

After hearing this, Chihaya Tetsu couldn't help but scratch his head in confusion.

"I'm sorry, Chuhua, I don't quite understand what you mean..."

"First of all, there will only be two outcomes after this live performance ends."

Sanjiao Chuhua raised the first finger:

"The first outcome is that we fail to impress Ai, and she will expose everything as planned and do everything she can to elope with you. If things develop to this point, whether you are prepared or not, the result will be the same. Your plan to start a family on your own will be doomed to be thwarted, and she will have sex with you without any worries. So, in my opinion, there is no value in discussing this situation."

"kindness……"

Although he had already thought of this possibility, Chihaya Tetsuya still showed a helpless expression.

"Indeed, if things really develop to this point, then I can only accept my fate."

"But fortunately, after our last private conversation at RiNG, her attitude has softened considerably. At this point, it seems the second outcome is definitely more likely."

Sanjiao Chuhua raised his second finger while speaking:

"The second outcome is that she'll continue her activities as an idol and moderate her attacks on you... but this doesn't mean she's giving up. Rather, making this choice will make her even more difficult than she already is. After all, if she's chosen to stay on the stage, it means she's not opting for temporary peace of mind, but a more long-term relationship. And her attacks will likely change from the current, easily understood 'suicide attack' to a more unpredictable 'long-term operation.'"

Having said this, she turned her head and looked at Chihaya Tetsuya:

"For a principled man like you, Mr. Tetsuya, such reckless devotion is obviously useless. But if she slows down her attack and seriously formulates a strategy, with your current defenses, which are practically useless... I don't think you'll be able to resist."

"Eh...is it necessary to degrade me to this level?"

“Because that’s the truth.”

Sanjiao Chuhua said unhappily:

"I told you, didn't I? You're too clueless. Right now, there's still the obvious threat of love that's restricting others. If the crisis of love is resolved, with your current state, who knows how much trouble you'll get into!"

"I know I lack common sense in some areas, but I'm already trying to make up for it!"

Chihaya Tetsuya quickly explained himself:

"I've asked Su... a girl I'm close to to be my negotiating partner. If I encounter anything I don't understand, I'll consult her!"

"..."

After hearing this, Sanjiao Chuhua was stunned for a moment, then asked:

"A girl you're close to...are you sure you're just close to her?"

"Sure! Uh... well, for various reasons, we've been pretty close lately."

Thinking of the strange contract and the moving declaration that Nagasaki Suyo had mentioned before, Chihaya Tetsu scratched his head in confusion.

"But she's one of the few people around me who'll really find fault with me!"

"...How did you ask her for help?"

"Eh? Just tell her something like, 'For the future, I need someone to discuss these things with me. Could you please continue to be my advisor?'"

Noticing that Sanjiao Hatsuka's expression seemed to be getting more and more serious, Chihaya Tetsu couldn't help but blink in confusion.

"Uh, what's wrong with that statement?"

"..."

Chihaya Tetsuya's request was full of ambiguity and vagueness that could lead to misunderstanding no matter how you listened to it.

Generally speaking, a girl who would agree to such a request is either a fool like him who knows nothing, or a "predator" who knows everything but just wants to take this opportunity to get closer to him.

Combined with the premise Chihaya Tetsuya just mentioned, Sankaku Hatsuka is almost certain that the truth is the latter...

"Mr. Tetsuya."

"kindness?"

"Before I'm defeated by your natural instincts, I'd like to add my previous reminder—"

Sanjiao Chuhua said to him in an extremely serious tone:

"No matter how much you trust a girl, there's still a chance she might attack you. Rather, the more you trust her, the more likely she is to take advantage of your downtime and strike!"

"..."

Although Chihaya Tetsuya really wanted to say "It's not that exaggerated", when he recalled Aine's confession that night, he immediately shut his mouth obediently.

"Okay, I'll try to pay attention!"

"..."

Despite receiving a positive response from Chihaya Tetsuya, Sankaku Hatsuka felt that this person would at best try to persuade others with words when they were about to take action. Expecting him to truly curb this "danger" that had become part of his life philosophy was unrealistic no matter how hard he tried...

(Alas...if this continues, will Xiangzi really still have a chance?)

Sanjiao Chuhua shook his head and thought to himself.

(She is still obsessed with becoming an equal to Tetsuya-san. Although she does not doubt whether she can really do it, before that, Tetsuya-san would probably have been "eaten up" long ago.)

Hoshino Ai alone almost defeated Chihaya Tetsuya. If there were a few more people, it would only be a matter of time before Chihaya Tetsuya's defense collapsed.

……

"Well, Mr. Tetsuya, I have a suggestion."

To prevent Xiangzi from being sad...and also for Chihaya Tetsuya's own future.

Sanjiao Chuhua decided to intervene a little.

"How about including me as your life partner?"

"……what?"

Chapter 56: Multiple talks at the same time.

"…What is going on?"

When Nagasaki Suyo saw the trio that had suddenly formed, she immediately raised the right questions.

"Me, Tetsuya... and Mikado Hatsuka?"

No matter how hard Nagasaki Motoyo tried to think about this mysterious member composition, she could not find any decent explanation.

And then, the first message sent by Sanjiao Chuhua made her expression change instantly -

[Okay, then this group dedicated to emotional counseling for Mr. Tetsuya has been established.]

【What? 】

Faced with such a sudden opening, Nagasaki Suyo's response was quite simple.

【Why haven't I heard that you are involved in this? 】

【Because I took the initiative to propose it.】

Sanjiao Chuhua also responded very quickly.

[Just consider this as a way to give Mr. Tetsuya another perspective for reference.]

"For now..."

Maybe it was because he was sure that Chihaya Tetsu wouldn't understand the hidden meaning of their words, so he simply didn't bother to hide it?

Although this group alone is not enough to determine Sankaku Hatsuka's true thoughts on Chihaya Tetsuya, Nagasaki Suyo at least got the idea that she wanted to get in his way.

……

What if we have different opinions? 】

"That's up to Mr. Tetsuya to decide. After all, we're only responsible for giving advice, not making choices. That's exactly why I want to join."

Sanjiao Chuhua replied:

If you were alone, even if you had no intention of "inducing" Tetsuya-san, your opinion would still influence his decision to a great extent, right? I want to avoid such misunderstandings as much as possible... What do you think, Nagasaki-san?

【Well, what you said makes sense.】

"Sure enough... this Sanjiao Chuhua is also a very difficult character to deal with."

Ever since that brief encounter with Sankaku Hatsuka that night, Nagasaki Motoyo had long since recognized Sankaku Hatsuka as a person of exceptional observation and intelligence. However, at the time, her stance was relatively neutral. While she had some calculations about both Hoshino Ai and her own side, she didn't intend to get too involved.

And now, not only did she take the initiative to get involved in Chihaya Tetsuya's emotional life, she even deliberately made similar obstructive actions on her side.
