Chapter 161
"What's wrong?" Miyako Shizuka looked over curiously, then paused for a couple of seconds in surprise before saying helplessly, "You really are very charming."
"Hmph, nothing special." He tossed his long, straight silver hair, appearing nonchalant, and put the few pink envelopes from the cabinet into his backpack.
For the first time in his life, he finally received a love letter! Sobbing He was actually quite excited.
Although it's for Ogura Asahi, not for Sakurakoji Talent, it doesn't matter since they're both him.
"I really want to complain about how fast they are, you only arrived this morning... But our school is an all-girls school, right? Is this really okay?" Miyako Shizuka twitched her face, unsure of what to say.
Is this school a bit dangerous?
"As an idol, how can you deny the ways and objects people express their love? That's not right," he criticized.
"Is that so...?" Miyako Shizuka hesitated, looking at him questioningly, "Little Asahi, you don't actually have feelings for their 'jokes,' do you?"
"You don't actually want to date a woman, do you?"
If I don't date women, am I supposed to date men?
His face turned ashen; the wicked thought was immediately suppressed as soon as it arose!
Although he's genuinely not interested in women—after all, none of them are as pretty or outstanding as him—that doesn't mean he has any feelings for the same sex.
Absolutely not! Not even to Hideyoshi!
"Of course I won't agree to their request, but I think they have the right to express their opinions," he answered, skirting the question. "Although, I probably won't even have time to get to the place they agreed to meet."
Haha... You're really not coming to school again tomorrow?
"I don't know, probably not, if nothing's wrong."
"That's great! If my grades were better, would I not have to go to school?"
"Then you should study hard?"
"Eh~ in that area... I don't have much time left just from juggling work and practice."
"That's hopeless, give up."
"You're so direct," the two walked to the school gate, and facing the empty school gate, Miyako Shizuka showed an expression of surprise, glaring at him reproachfully. "So you really did plan to skip class at the last minute."
Sakurakoji Talent chuckled, "What's next? How do I get to your studio?"
"I can take the tram, ah," Miyako Shizuka murmured, glancing hesitantly at her. "Little Asahi, can you take the tram? Or do you want to take a taxi?"
What kind of person do you take me for?
"Isn't she a pampered young lady who always has a chauffeur when she goes out?"
"... That's not entirely wrong, but even I take the tram sometimes."
"Huh? Why?" She was even more shocked than when she saw him skipping class in front of everyone.
"You have such a deep prejudice against rich people..." Sakurakoji Talent shrugged and sighed. "Even rich people occasionally browse 100-yen shops for relaxation, or go to some decent little restaurants for tonkatsu (fried pork cutlets)."
"Is this your own experience?"
"No, it's someone I know; I might be even more outrageous."
"Oh, I see..." Miyako Shizuka gave a wry smile. "Then let's set off!"
OK.
"Is this the place?" Sakurakoji Talent looked up at the rather tall building in front of him and asked her for confirmation.
"Yes, this is the location of 'Win-Wing Production,' the agency Sumimi is signed with. Our dressing room and practice room are also inside."
"I see."
"Let's go up!"
The two entered the lobby, Miyako Shizuka walked confidently to the elevator, leading him up to the floor where the idol group was located.
After exiting the elevator, the two walked and talked until they reached a room.
Miyako Shizuka knocked on the door, paused for a few seconds, and then pushed the door open and went in.
The door was wide open, revealing a bright and unobstructed view of the interior.
On the left is a vanity with several seats, in the middle is a fairly spacious aisle, and on the right is a rest table and two high-end sofas.
At the far end of the room, there seems to be a Japanese-style rest area with Tatami, and even a television.
Wow, as expected of a super popular idol group, they get pretty good treatment.
Although it's not a big group, it's much better than those Underground Idol and bands that need to work part-time to make ends meet—I'm talking about Kessoku Band and Thorn Band, Hoshino Ai you all!
Look at them!
At this moment, the only person in the room was sitting at the vanity, doing some simple touch-ups on her makeup.
Her long brown hair fell loosely and naturally, and her pupils, which were similar in color to her hair, sparkled with liveliness and lightness.
She wore a white top and black bottom skirt, with sheer fabric and chains draped on either side of the garment—in terms of fashion sense, she was far inferior to Miyako Shizuka.
Hearing the noise, she turned to look at the entrance and saw that it was Miyako Shizuka. She instantly flashed a warm and friendly smile, "Little Shizuka, you're here!"
"Yes, I'm here, Mana!"
The opponent was none other than a formidable obstacle in Bando-ri's history, the legendary National Five-Time Champion, Ms. Sumiida Mana.
Archangel strength, personality, character, and appearance are all flawless!
Wow, what an amazing person! How can there be such a wonderful person in the world?
Tsk tsk, with such a powerful Angel who selflessly helps from the very beginning as a teammate, Shizuka, you're still thinking about that succubus?
Poor Ms. Donut.
Sakurakoji Talent glanced at Miyako Shizuka with incomprehension, and looked at Sumiida Mana with pity.
"Oh my, who is this?" Seeing an unfamiliar face behind her, Sumiida Mana turned her head and asked.
The other person was wearing the same brown school uniform as Little Shizuka, so they must be classmates from the same school, she guessed initially.
However, Sumiida Mana's skin stiffened slightly... What a beautiful child! I never imagined there would be students like this in Little Shizuka high schools.
She compared herself to the other person and felt defeated, sob sob.
Come to think of it, this seems to be the first time I've met Little Shizuka's friend. I've never seen her walking with anyone before.
"Ah, let me introduce you." Miyako Shizuka walked to her side, acting as the middleman.
"This is Mana, another member of Sumimi. Her full name is Sumiida Mana, but you probably already know her, Little Asahi, right?" She gestured to him, then looked at Sumiida Mana and introduced her.
"This is my friend and classmate, Ogura Asahi. I invited her to come and visit with me today."
"Ah, I see!" Sumiida Mana clapped her hands, her expression suddenly understanding, and smiled as she said to Ogura Asahi, "Welcome, Asahi! Please relax and make yourself at home!"
"Thank you, Mana." He bowed politely.
Then, looking up at the two of them, for some reason, the moment he saw them standing together, the phrase "Here, the world!" involuntarily echoed in Sakurakoji Talent's mind. It was truly mesmerizing...
"It's okay, it's okay! Little Shizuka's friends are my friends!" She made a happy gesture. "After all, our Sumimi is two of a kind!"
"Is that so...?" Sakurakoji Talent couldn't hold back his emotions when he heard this.
"Oh, right, I brought some homemade desserts today, would you like some?" He held up the bag in his hand, which still had some left.
"Hey~ Little Asahi, you can make desserts too?"
"Really?! You have Donut?!"
The two spoke at the same time, their voices mingling together.
She still loves Donut so much, she really does, I'm so upset.
Sakurakoji Talent rummaged through the bag. He had taken some, but he didn't know if he had thrown it all away when he gave it to Hachiman Kairin and the others.
Ah, I've got it!
He took out the last two Donut and replied with a smile, "There are two left, want some?"
"I want to eat! I want to eat!!" Sumiida Mana jumped over on tiptoe, her expression and movements quite natural, without any hint of awkwardness or restraint.
Seeing this, Miyako Shizuka felt both pleased and amused. "Sit over here and eat."
She pointed to the sofa in the tea area next to her, then moved a dressing chair over to sit on—there were only two single sofas there.
Sakurakoji Talent placed her schoolbag on the dressing table and then sat down on the sofa without any hesitation.

After taking his seat, he took out the remaining snacks from the bag and spread them out on the glass table.
"There are quite a few varieties. Did you make all of these yourself, Little Asahi?" Miyako Shizuka opened her eyes slightly, looking at him for an explanation.
Her meaning was clear: You, a young lady from a wealthy family, how come you can even make desserts?
Can't you do something a young lady should do?
A young lady should be diligent and conscientious in her studies, able to play the Piano, detached from worldly affairs, kind and gentle to others, chauffeured around in a car, and speak in stockings...
Instead of skipping classes at will every day, having many talents (just kidding), teasing classmates during breaks, often taking the tram alone, and not using "Gui An" when greeting people...
"It's purely a hobby." His answer was simple.
"Wow~ Shidai Ki! Can I eat all of these?" Sumiida Mana excitedly sat down on another sofa.
"Mana, you need to be careful. Little Asahi will need to eat by himself later, won't he?"
"No, it's alright. I brought it to share with you all. Don't worry about me. If you can't finish it, just take it home."
"Red Bean?! Thank you! Asahi-chan! You really are a good person!" Sumiida Mana hugged the Donut, her eyes filled with tears, deeply moved.
Sakurakoji Talent is unspoken, yet some desserts have elevated his nickname from "Asahi-kun" to "Asahi-chan"?
Sure enough, desserts still hold an authoritative power over girls!
"Mana..." Miyako Shizuka was at a loss with her, feeling a bit embarrassed, like her own family member was losing face in front of her friends. She looked at him worriedly and asked, "Are you really okay?"
"It's really okay, I have plenty at home."
Now that she was sure he wasn't forcing her, she felt relieved. "Thank you, Little Asahi."
"You're welcome."
While they were talking, Sumiida Mana had already opened a Donut box, taken out the golden-brown treat sprinkled with icing sugar, and took a bite with her small, cute mouth without any hesitation.
Her eyes lit up, and before she even swallowed, she exclaimed, "What is this?! Oh, it's amazing!"
"What are you asking? Isn't this just Donut?" Miyako Shizuka asked, puzzled.
"But... but! I've never eaten such a delicious Donut before!" Sumiida Mana held up a half-eaten Donut to the light, her eyes shining with a pilgrimage-like gleam.
"It really looks different just by looking at it! The ratio of icing sugar, eggs, and flour is just perfect!"
"It even seems to have milk, cream, cocoa powder, and other ingredients added. What an amazing Donut... No! It can't even be considered a simple Donut anymore!"
Then she suddenly remembered something, quickly took out her phone, and snapped a picture of it, "Hehehe~ I'll post it on Instagram later!"
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Miyako Shizuka was a little skeptical, thinking she was just joking.
Sumiida Mana hesitated, her heart aching, but she still trembled as she shared another Donut with her. "Here, have one! Little Shizuka, try some too!"
"Ha..."
Miyako Shizuka took it, glanced at her twice, then slowly opened it and gently tore off a piece.
"!!!" Her eyes widened, and a strange sound came from her throat.
"Right?" Sumiida Mana was not surprised by her reaction at all, and continued to sway her upper body, savoring the remaining premium Donut in her hand.
"Hmm..." Staring at the golden-yellow dessert in her hand, Miyako Shizuka's expression was complicated. She looked up at Sakurakoji Talent and asked, "Little Asahi, did you really make this yourself?"
"Hmph..." He scoffed dismissively, brushing the silver strands of hair that had fallen in front of him behind him. He rested his chin on his hand, a look of melancholy on his face, a sense of loneliness and isolation on his face. "Everyone who has eaten what I've made has the same reaction as you."
"As expected of Little Asahi... flawless, and her Feminine Charm is terrifyingly high!" she couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yeah, yeah! This technique is great for opening a shop! I'll definitely buy from them every day!" Sumiida Mana chimed in.
"?" He stared at her in astonishment.
