Morishita Ai was energetically clearing the way in front and became the only source of movement in the team.
Uesugi Hara is walking in the middle, with master and servant Sakayanagi Arisu and Kamuro Masumi on the left, and enemies Kushida Kikyo and Horikita Suzune on the right.
Except for Morishita Ai's surprise, the others didn't say much. The atmosphere was not warm, but Uesugi Hara didn't care. The team that just got together needs time to get used to.
He is not worried at all about Horikita Suzune putting on airs. After all, she and Kamuro Masumi have the same position in the team right now, and they have nothing to worry about.
After walking not far, Uesugi Hara caught a glimpse of the Sakayanagi Arisu beside him who was in a bad state.
There were beads of sweat on her forehead, and there was a faint blush on both sides of her delicate little face. Her breathing was faster than before. It was obvious that the "high-intensity" exercise on this hot day exceeded her usual amount of exercise.
"Sakayanagi, do you need help?"
Sakayanagi Arisu heard the words and slowly looked sideways at him. A hint of cunning flashed through his purple eyes under the long eyelashes. Although there was a trace of sweat on his forehead, there was still an elegant and decent smile on the corner of his mouth, "Uesugi Are you caring about me?"
Uesugi Hara raised his eyebrows, "From the tone of your voice, it seems like you still have room for a joke, so you probably don't need to."
"Oh, I've been seen through." Sakayanagi Arisu chuckled. There was a rare hint of fatigue in his tone, but he still maintained his composure, "But I am indeed a little tired. It would be nice if I could find a place to rest for a while."
"There is a cold drink shop not far ahead. Let's sit there for a few minutes before leaving. It's just in time to take stock of the harvest." Uesugi Hara glanced at her red cheeks and secretly thought that this frail little loli really needs to be taken care of.
"Okay." Sakayanagi Arisu nodded in agreement.
Uesugi Hara shouted to Morishita Ai in front, "Morishita, stop for a moment and go to the cold drink shop in front to take a rest."
Morishita Ai immediately stopped and turned around, stood upright, and corrected Uesugi Hara seriously. "Please call me Corporal Morishita!"
As soon as these words came out, the people next to him were stunned for a moment.
Sakayanagi Arisu's hand holding the crutch paused, surprise flashed in his eyes; Kamuro Masumi frowned, obviously not understanding the origin of this title; Horikita Suzune frowned directly, with confusion on his face; Kushida Kikyo looked at Morishita Ai with curiosity in his eyes.
The four of them raised a question mark in their minds in unison.
Uesugi Hara is quite calm. Anyway, as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
He cleared his throat and assumed a serious tone. "Okay, Corporal Morishita. I'm ordering you now to explore the way to the cold drink shop ahead and confirm if there are any vacancies."
Morishita Ai immediately gave a nondescript salute and shouted with great enthusiasm, "Roger that! Guaranteed to complete the task!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran quickly towards the cold drink shop not far away. His neat appearance really made him look like a "corporal".
Sakayanagi Arisu couldn't help but chuckle and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, "The way Uesugi and Morishita get along is really special."
"As long as she's happy." Uesugi Hara shrugged and raised his chin in the direction of the cold drink shop, "Let's go, don't keep her waiting too long."
Although Horikita Suzune thought it was a bit ridiculous, the name of the club was strange enough, so she didn't say anything more and followed Uesugi Hara.
Kamuro Masumi supported Sakayanagi Arisu and followed slowly.
"This way! This way!" Morishita Ai was already waiting at the cold drink shop. When he saw a few people coming in, he immediately waved his hands excitedly.
"Calm down." Uesugi Hara said helplessly and sat next to Morishita Ai.
As soon as a few people entered the door, the noise in the store calmed down a bit, and most of the boys' eyes were glued to it - after all, there was a tall and straight boy, followed by four beautiful girls with different styles, some were capable and sassy, some were elegant and delicate, some were sweet and lively, and some were cold and stubborn. This array was really eye-catching.
"Here, isn't this the Crystal Palace configuration only found in anime?" The boy at the next table lowered his voice and glanced at Uesugi Hara with envy.
"Why? Aren't you more handsome than me? Why are there so many brothers around me!" Another boy next to him muttered angrily and scratched his hair in annoyance.
"Ai-chan, don't look at him all the time! Am I not as good-looking as him?" The boy not far away was eager to attract the attention of the girl next to him, his tone full of grievances.
The sound of small discussions drifted into his ears. Uesugi Hara acted extremely calmly, as if he didn't notice the envious and jealous eyes, and said to everyone, "Sit down, you can order whatever you want to drink, and I will pay for it."
Morishita Ai immediately sat down and raised his hand. "I want strawberry smoothie!" Kushida Kikyo smiled and nodded, "Then me too!"
Horikita Suzune thought for a moment, "A cup of lemon tea, less ice."
Sakayanagi Arisu said softly, "Please have a cup of warm honey grapefruit tea, thank you." Kamuro Masumi ordered the same thing as Sakayanagi Arisu.
Uesugi Hara finished reporting the drink order and said, "While we're waiting for the drinks, let's see what else we need to buy first. Don't worry about the price. We'll go back to Student Council for reimbursement."
