The Almighty Chuunibyou Expert

"But correspondingly..."

Hasegawa Izumi nodded, then turned around and looked at the various animals.

"It's fine, I'll help!"

She immediately patted her chest and said.

Just like that, two days passed.

"Izumi-chan, what are you and Takanashi-san being so secretive about?"

During the lunch break, Fujiwara Chika curiously came over to ask.

"This is 'classified.' If you want to know, you need to apply to join our Organization."

Takanashi Rikka said with a serious expression.

"You're hiding it even from me? Izumi-chan."

She cast a pitiful gaze at Hasegawa Izumi.

"It's nothing, I was just planning to apply for a Club. I even made an exchange with Kotsuna for it..."

He had no intention of hiding it.

"It's not like it's a secret anyway, so I'll tell you."

Takanashi Rikka also changed her tune.

"I see..."

Fujiwara Chika swayed her feet and body, then suddenly smiled without speaking.

"Are you coming too, Chika?"

He asked.

"You're really something else. Since Izumi-chan wants to invite me, I'll go with you."

Fujiwara Chika's smile bloomed like a flower.

You wanted to go yourself, didn't you?

He couldn't be bothered to expose her.

After school.

"Takanashi Rikka and Hasegawa-kun, your Club applications have been approved."

Just as the three of them were leaving together, Tsukumo Nanase suddenly appeared.

"Leave it to me, Izumi."

Takanashi Rikka volunteered, giving him a meaningful look.

"Okay."

"Hoo hoo hoo~"

Along the way, Fujiwara Chika hummed a little song, in a good mood.

"I had no idea Shuchiin had a place like this. If I had known earlier, I would have definitely come here more often."

When they arrived at the scene, she exclaimed.

After all, the Junior High Department and the High School Department were quite far apart, so her knowledge was limited.

"Ah, it's a cat, and a puppy too."

She stopped between two cages and crouched down, reaching out to greet them.

"Chika, you really like animals."

Hasegawa Izumi was genuinely surprised by her affection.

"What kind of image do I have in Izumi-chan's heart!"

Fujiwara Chika tilted her head up and pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Uh, it's hard to say."

His gaze became unfocused.

During his confrontations with Chika, she often used all sorts of despicable tactics to win, making him feel that her apparent innocence was feigned, and more like a natural dark personality.

It seemed that even long-time friends didn't necessarily understand each other completely.

"By the way, do these animals have names?"

Before she could get angry, Fujiwara Chika, feeling the puppy licking her hand, asked curiously.

8 Far East Magic Society

"Let me think, that turtle is called Prime Minister Turtle, and that carp is called Little Carp..."

He pointed to the animals in a nearby pond and began to introduce them.

"That orange cat is named Rainbow Cat, the black one is Black Cat Detective, the gray one is Tom, the two little pigs are Zhu Zhu Xia and Peppa, the remaining rabbit is Blue Rabbit, and the puppy licking your hand is Hachiko..."

He counted the animals in the cage again.

"gegege~"

Suddenly, the big rooster in the corner let out a loud crow, wanting some attention.

"Oh, I almost forgot about you, IKUN."

He turned his head and pointed a finger.

"ge!"

The big rooster hopped, flapping its wings, looking displeased and ready to attack.

"You've even given them all names? And you recognized them all, Izumi-chan has such a good memory!"

Fujiwara Chika cupped her cheeks with both hands, her tone full of admiration.

"It's nothing, you just need to remember their characteristics."

He waved his hand dismissively.

"By the way, does Izumi-chan's naming have any special meaning?"

"That's something you don't need to worry about, it's a long story."

After helping him feed the animals, Fujiwara Chika parted ways with him after meeting a friend at the base of the school building.

At this time, Hasegawa Izumi also received an electronic message from Rikka and headed towards the activity building.

"You're finally here, Sage."

Takanashi Rikka glanced sideways, her eyes sharp.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Wielder of the Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King."

A figure emerged from the shadows, a smile playing on his lips.

This clandestine meeting felt like the prelude to a dark event, like unseen masterminds meeting behind the scenes.

"Then, in accordance with my will! Open, for us, the doors of magic!"

Takanashi Rikka extended her right hand, and the door swung open.

The door had already been unlocked before he arrived. Perhaps the girl had already gone inside, but was waiting for him now for dramatic effect.

The setup in the activity room was surprisingly good, resembling a home living room. It had not just a small table and cabinets, but even a sofa, making it quite luxurious.

It was said that this classroom was formerly the abandoned Tea Ceremony Club. As most of the students in this school came from wealthy families, they didn't care much about money, so the furnishings were preserved.

"It's so soft, like sitting on a marshmallow."

Takanashi Rikka sank into the sofa, feeling like she was being enveloped, thoroughly enjoying it.

"With this, we won't need to do any extra renovations."

Hasegawa Izumi also tried the sofa and was very satisfied.

"Yeah! This is perfect."

Takanashi Rikka also thought it couldn't be better.

After all, they didn't have the money for renovations.

It seemed they had gotten the better end of the deal in their exchange with the teacher.

After a bit more effort cleaning, the activity room was refreshed.

"Done."

Takanashi Rikka wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Looking at everything before them, the two were extremely pleased.

This was the place where dreams began!

Before they went to recruit members, they had one more thing to do: hang up the name of their club.

"It's written."

Hasegawa Izumi used a calligraphy brush to write the words 'Far East Magic Society' on a wooden plaque.

The characters were full and round, appearing naturally formed, with a subtle sharpness hidden within the brushstrokes.

"Wow! It's like a work of art! As expected of the Sage, even your handwriting is so excellent."

Takanashi Rikka took the wooden plaque in her hands, her expression amazed.

Moreover, she seemed to sense something special from the characters, something difficult to describe.

"Now, let me hang it up."

She volunteered, brought over a stool, and stood on her tiptoes, wanting to hang the plaque on the door.

However, her height became an issue, requiring her to stand on tiptoe.

Wobbling precariously, Takanashi finally managed to hang the nameplate when she suddenly lost her balance and fell forward.

"Ah!!"

Just as she was about to make intimate contact with the ground, a strong and powerful arm suddenly appeared from beneath her, wrapping around her waist.

For a moment, her body maintained a horizontal line parallel to the ground.

The situation was extremely perilous; she could even hear her own heart pounding.

Hasegawa Izumi tightened his right hand, placing his left on the girl's back, and righted her body.

"A dignified Wielder of the Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King, reduced to a state where you can't even maintain your balance? Wouldn't it be the biggest joke in the world if you had died from that fall just now?"

He teased.

"I... I lost my composure. This is a disgrace. I will remember this day."

Takanashi Rikka, who was staring at him intently, suddenly realized something. Her face turned the color of a steamed shrimp, and she lowered her head.

"Well, everyone has their moments of weakness. I hope you can find your strength again soon."

He patted her shoulder reassuringly.

"Mhm."

She responded with a soft, low voice.

After establishing their base and securing the rear, it was time to recruit new members.

However, they hadn't made preparations for that yet, and the first week was almost over, so they planned to start next week.

Just as they were preparing to go to the Club recruitment area to observe how others recruited, they unexpectedly found that no one was there today.

The crowd was heading towards the main hall.

Driven by curiosity, he and Rikka followed the crowd.

It turned out that a "Club Activity Information Session" was being held today. Most clubs had representatives there explaining their activities, while the audience below was filled with observing students.
