Chapter 279

Tsk tsk tsk, both are geniuses, yet some people worry about their department being disbanded, while others, after being caught secretly stargazing on the roof of the teaching building at night, are even "begged" by their teachers to establish an Astronomy Club to justify their behavior. How can the difference between people be so vast?

Do you know who the former Club President of the Astronomy Club was?

"No, I don't know..."

Takamatsu Akari shook his head timidly.

"It's the former Student Council President, Hikawa Hina. Like you, she also single-handedly ran the Astronomy Club. Her catchphrase is 'run?' (rumble~). Do you remember her?"

"The student council president?! That's amazing..."

Takamatsu Akari was a little shocked; she hadn't expected her ex to be such a formidable person.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She picked up a journal from the table beside her, flipped to a certain page, and exclaimed, "This is it!"

She showed him the contents of the right-hand page of her diary, the first two lines of which read, "[I looked at the stars today, what a magnificent starry sky!]"

But the next sentence is... [Could it be a crisis of departmental disbandment?!]

Is one sentence all you have to say about a day's activities? You could fit several days' worth of entries on a single page; isn't this entry a bit too hasty...?

"... As expected of her."

"Um, senior, do you know the former Club President?"

"It's less about knowing her and more about me being the only one who knows her."

"I see..."

"Well, she's quite an interesting person. Who knows, she might come back to visit you, a junior in the Astronomy Club, someday."

"Is that so?!"

Takamatsu Akari's body stiffened.

"It's just that there's a possibility."

Ogura Asahi pointed at the poster, "Do you know why she hung this poster up here?"

"Isn't it because you like this band?"

"Yes, but the real reason is... the blue-haired guitarist above is her twin sister, Hikawa Sayo. She's a Sister complex."

"Eh~"

Takamatsu Akari's eyes widened.

"By the way, she's the guitarist for Pastel Palettes, have you heard of her?"

"I've heard a little bit about it..."

"Okay, I see. Then you can look her up later, and you'll know what she looks like and what her personality is like."

"I see..."

Takamatsu Akari swallowed hard and nodded earnestly.

After chatting for a while longer, Ogura Asahi took his leave, since his only purpose in coming was to make an impression.

"I'll be leaving now. I had a great time chatting with you today. Goodbye, um..."

"Takamatsu Akari! My name is Takamatsu Akari Desu!"

Takamatsu Akari quickly introduced himself.

"Okay, Tomorou-chan ~ My Ogura Asahi, see you next time~"

"Okay! Ogura- senpai!"

After exchanging Hikawa Hina as a sacrifice, she was no longer as fearful and shy towards him as before.

"Oh, right! There are two desserts left here. If you don't mind, please try them!"

"Hey, dessert? Last one?"

Ogura Asahi smiled mysteriously and said no more.

After finishing his personal "club activities" a little early, he headed to the Starry.

I glanced at my phone on the way and received a message from Ouka Mai requesting a meeting.

"..."

After thinking for three seconds, he decided to ignore it.

Anyway, if I met her in the past, I would most likely be kissed by her... or even do something more outrageous.

Now that he knows there's no benefit in developing the relationship further, he doesn't have much desire for it anymore. Instead, he's troubled by the possibility of a deeper connection arising from it.

Sigma Man doesn't do things that aren't beneficial, especially in relationships!

"Talent, come help me tie my hair."

After Sakurakoji Talent finished his preparations, Ichiji Hoshika gave him an order.

"... Manager, it's great that you've recently taken to tying your hair up to change your image, but why do you need me to help you every day? Can't you learn it yourself?"

He complained.

"Shut up, just do what the manager tells you to do."

"I protest!"

"Protest invalid. My power as store manager is unlimited. Believe me or not, I've already fired you?"

"I don't believe it."

"You..."

Ichiji Hoshika (Part 1) Ball Billion i Wife Like ~ Warm Kick Sis 4 Dove Bar Group / Flirting Pouting and Getting Annoyed.

"Hmph, a lazy bum like you would have been fired long ago elsewhere. You should be grateful to have such a generous boss like me, who wouldn't even let you do my hair..."

"Okay! I'm here! I'm here!"

Sakurakoji Talent, feeling helpless, walked around behind her with his tools and began to comb her casually disheveled hair.

Ever since he gave them a makeover last time, he's been keeping some small props in the counter as spares.

What hairstyle do you want today?

"Casual."

"Do you think this is ordering food? Oh well, I knew you'd say that anyway."

After neatly dividing her hair into several strands and securing them with small clips, he began his work.

"Then let's make a simple, fluffy side braid."

"..."

Ichiji Hoshika remained silent, letting him do as he pleased.

She straightened her bangs, then coiled and wrapped the thick blonde hair at the back of her head, finally placing it in front of her.

After a while...

"Alright! This hairstyle really gives off a wifely vibe!"

Looking at his masterpiece, Sakurakoji Talent nodded in satisfaction.

Originally resembling a slovenly middle-aged woman, Ichiji Hoshika immediately appeared much more mature and shy after changing to this hairstyle.

Even her originally cold, emotionless, and slanted eyes, which were a downside, were softened.

"Who said I have such a strong 'wife' vibe?! I'm still..."

Ichiji Hoshika retorted in dissatisfaction.

"Alright, alright, let's see how it goes first."

He handed her the mirror.

Ichiji Hoshika looked at the mirror with a hint of resentment, and then... froze.

Is this her?

The previously casual blonde look was gone, replaced by a gentle, side-haired woman with a softer complexion...

"Mother?"

She whispered softly.

The image in the mirror gradually overlapped with the image of her mother in her memory.

This hairstyle looks just like their mother's hairstyle back then—no wonder he said it gives off a very mature, married vibe.

If she had married earlier, would things be like this now? (Look at my mother.)

"What are you thinking about, manager?"

Sakurakoji Talent whispered a question in her ear, and another head, unbelievably beautiful, appeared in the mirror.

Their two faces were placed close together, looking just like a family Group Photo...

"No, it's nothing!"

Ichiji Hoshika blushed and knocked over the large standing mirror, which was much bigger than a makeup mirror, closing her eyes Shy.

"Ouch, be gentle! What if it breaks? You guys didn't even bring any props!"

Sakurakoji Talent allows him to mourn for the mirror for a few seconds.

"Then I'll go upstairs and get one to return to you, okay?"

She rolled her eyes at him.

"Oh right, shop manager, your family lives upstairs."

Recalling this incident, he asked with interest, "When will you invite me over for a visit?"

"... what you up to?"

Ichiji Hoshika looked at him warily. "My father is away most of the time. What do you want to do in a room with only two girls?"

"Your attempt to cover up the truth... are you inviting me?! Starting with just the two sisters... isn't that a bit too provocative?"

"Get out! Get out! Get out!"

She pushed him aside.

"Hey~ hey~ Used and then discarded, am I some kind of disposable prop?"

Ichiji Hoshika grinned, amused. "No, at least it's a reusable item."

"That's outrageous! Next time you ask me to do your hair, I'll charge you extra!"

What fees?

"For example..."

Sakurakoji Talent suddenly appeared, leaning close to her ear again, inhaling the scent of the same shampoo as Ichiji Nijika's, and replied in a bewitching voice, "Manager, what about your first kiss?"

"!!!"

Ichiji Hoshika suddenly opened her eyes wide. Just as she was about to hit him, she saw him dodge to the side, holding a half-empty box of juice in his hand.

"That's mine, give it back to me!"

"No way! I'll give you a discount this time, half a box of juice will do, I'm thirsty anyway!"

After saying that, he put the straw to his mouth and drank the liquid in one gulp.

"That was nice and comfortable, thank you for the treat."

He put the empty box back on the table, then walked towards the door to open it.

"..."

Ichiji Hoshika watched his departing figure, her beautiful face flushed.

Was he serious about what he just said? And speaking of which, was what happened just now an indirect kiss?

"!!!"
