"Shirakawa, I suddenly have a great idea! It can help you make money!"
"What idea?"
"Co over here..."
"...."
"Co on over..." The girl who loved to slack off tugged at his school uniform and whispered a few words into his ear. After hearing them, Shirakawa Sawahei’s face darkened, and he lightly smacked Ise Yu on the head.
"What kind of harebrained idea is that! You’re banned from having dinner tonight."
"???"
"Shirakawa! I’m doing this for your own good, anyway! Being my assistant isn’t shaful!"
"No way, who knows what kind of weird things you’ll make do."
"I won’t, at most, I’ll just have you help finish so work I can’t complete on my own."
"Once I learn it, won’t you just have legitimate reasons to push all your work onto your assistant?"
"I definitely won’t push it all onto you!"
"What’s this about an assistant, Orikin, what are you two talking about..." The Clingy Creature asked suspiciously, "Why does it feel like you two are keeping secrets from us..."
"No, nothing like that! I’m discussing a business plan with Shirakawa."
"With your so-called business plan, I might as well set up a stall and start my own business."
"Huh? Shirakawa, are you planning on starting a business?" Tsukimi Sakurazawa exclaid, "Then I want to invest!"
"What are you going to invest in?"
"I’ll invest with my face! Shirakawa, you can make good use of my image, who knows, my comrcial value might skyrocket in the future~"
"Well, I’m afraid I won’t live to see that day."
"How an! I’m sure it’ll happen sooner than you think!"
Just as Shirakawa Sawahei was about to make a snarky remark, he suddenly rembered what the Clingy Creature said about comrcial value, and a mory flashed in his mind, Evil Little Arrogant had once tead up with him to exploit the comrcial value of a rich target...
Holy crap, am I really that short-sighted!
With a level 5 piano skill, am I actually working at a cafe??? I heard people in high society love listening to concerts, with my skills, just performing a few sessions as a guest for Slatter could probably equal several months’ salary at a cafe...
Thinking of this, Shirakawa Sawahei couldn’t help but glance at the Black Hearted Lolita...
This girl... is currently considered Slatter’s student...
If it’s Nazuki, she can definitely make it happen, right?
[Wait for .]
Shirakawa Sawahei found an opportunity and quietly sent a ssage to Asano Nazuki. Upon seeing the ssage, the Black Hearted Lolita was overjoyed and almost laughed out loud.
Pretty boy... finally got so sense!!!
He finally doesn’t want to work hard anymore!!!
I’m finally about to defeat the sly woman head-on!!!
No, I need to check how much money is left on my card... ask my grandpa for more! This ti, I must capture that pretty boy!
"Shirakawa... stop playing with your phone! We haven’t finished our discussion yet... I can’t believe you don’t trust ! You might regret it in the future!"
"Then tell , what kind of comrcial value will you have?"
"Hmm..."
The Clingy Creature thought for a mont and exclaid, "How about becoming a Calligraphy Beauty t once in five thousand years!"
"Does Neon’s history even go back five thousand years?"
"Then four thousand years!"
"That spot’s already taken."
"Then three thousand years! I can’t back down any further on this one..."
"That one’s taken too."
"Nanī! How unfair of those who ca first... Oh well, I’ll just settle for being a Tea Ceremony Beauty seen every five hundred years."
Wow, is she becoming half a Hannai Hashimoto?
"Weren’t you talking about calligraphy just a mont ago?"
"Mastering both calligraphy and tea, it’s no big deal for a beauty like ..."
"Eh? Sakurazawa, you know tea ceremony too? It looks so cool..."
"It’s alright... honestly, learning tea ceremony can be quite botherso. Rembering the steps was so hard in the beginning..." The Clingy Creature said with so frustration, "I spent a lot of ti when I learned it..."
Shirakawa Sawahei wasn’t all that surprised by Tsukimi Sakurazawa’s sudden revelation of her tea ceremony skills. He had heard about it from Tsukimi Yamadori, who was actually the Clingy Creature’s mother. Plus, when Tsukimi got serious, her aura perfectly matched activities like calligraphy and tea ceremony, reminiscent of a classical beauty.
"I see those tea ceremony masters on TV always purify themselves before brewing... do you do that too, Sakurazawa?"
"For more formal occasions, probably... but I haven’t done it many tis... it’s really more about cultivating the right mindset; purifying oneself is just a ritual to calm down..."
"That’s so impressive!! Sakurazawa, will I have a chance to drink the tea you brew in the future?"
"Of course! I’ll bring the tea set to the Shirakawa family and brew for you all... By the way, Shirakawa, do you still have the tea leaves my mother gave you?"
"I still have so."
"Great~ Look forward to my good news... Shirakawa... Shirakawa?"
Tsukimi Sakurazawa waved her small hand in front of Shirakawa Sawahei, questioning, "What are you thinking?"
Shirakawa Sawahei snapped back to reality, lightly looked at the Clingy Creature, and said, "Nothing much..."
"If there’s nothing much, why were you zoning out~" the girl mumbled, then started talking with everyone about the idea of winning the lottery to get rich. Shirakawa Sawahei watched her quietly, hardly registering a word.
Tea leaves... those precious tea leaves, ones even Asano Fūsei admired...
Coming from the Hayakawa family, wealthy enough to do whatever they wanted.
How could a seemingly ordinary Tsukimi family have such rare tea leaves and give them away as gifts?
Why was Tsukimi Yamadori so different from her daughter? Why did Tsukimi Sakurazawa get so nervous when talking about her mother?
At this mont, he suddenly realized he might have missed quite a few clues about Tsukimi...
Could it be... the one investigating behind the scenes is actually the force behind Tsukimi?
Thinking about this, Shirakawa Sawahei’s expression relaxed a bit. If it really was from the Clingy Creature’s family, at least they wouldn’t harbor much malice towards him... After all, he and she were such close friends, they wouldn’t just turn against him like that.
But... since we’re all friends, why would her family investigate without reason?
Right now, everything is still just speculation. Shirakawa Sawahei decided to slowly probe and find out for himself.
When the club activities ended, the Black Hearted Lolita couldn’t resist sticking around, constantly staying close to Shirakawa Sawahei as he packed his things, looking quite pleased. He was about to instinctively push the Little Lolita away but rembered he wanted her to stay.
"You wait for outside. I need a word with Asano."
The girl who loved slacking off obediently followed Tsukimi and Tachibana Tomoku out the door. The Calligraphy Club’s activities room was finally cleared.
Asano Nazuki smiled smugly, jumped onto the club room’s table with her legs crossed, feet slightly raised, striking a very tempting pose, and said coolly.
"Have you made up your mind?"

The slender, fair little leg swung gently in front of him, a tantalizing sight. Fortunately, she wasn’t wearing any black stockings, or there’d surely be another massacre by Awei.
"Made up my mind about what?" Shirakawa Sawahei smacked the Little Lolita on the head, exasperated, "Sit properly. Who taught you to sit like that?"
"...Pretty boy! You!!"
"Quit ’you-ing’ , sit properly, I need your help with sothing."
When the Black Hearted Lolita heard this, she perked right up, turning her head and saying, "Hmph, with an attitude like that, it’s hard for to help you..."
"Then I’ll go find Hayakawa Kashi."
"You! Co back here! I didn’t say I wouldn’t agree!"
The Black Hearted Lolita was frantic, "How dare you look for her! I’ll never let it go!"
"So, will you help or not?"
"Hmph... I know what you want to do..." The Black Hearted Lolita raised her chin confidently and said, "Isn’t this just a small matter? With helping you, what’s there to worry about?"
