391. There's No Time-Get in the Car!

He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't ask her if she remembered Mai- chan.

Since we already know the answer, there's no need to ask.

Shuya chose to leave.

Hanazawa Sakura didn't see him off; she just stood there and watched him leave.

A moment later, Inoue Hikoo walked over, scratching his stomach. "What's gotten into that brat now?"

"I didn't get an answer."

Hanazawa Sakura only showed a worried expression in front of him.

Inoue Hikoo didn't seem to care much. "Well, he can handle it anyway, I trust him!"

"You're just finding it troublesome, aren't you!"

Hanazawa Sakura was unusually angry, and grabbed his ear and yanked it.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! I was wrong, I was wrong!"

He shouted exaggeratedly, successfully making his wife happy.

Shuya was unaware that his spendthrift parents had killed the dog behind his back.

After flying back to Mai's house, he chatted with her for a while, then went over the plan in his mind again.

Now that things have come to this, I believe everyone can roughly see what he wants to do.

On Fridays, the second period after lunch break at Minegahara High School is roughly between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM when school ends.

Shuya and his Little Senior Sister's band will perform for all the students in the school who are still in class on the playground.

It was called a small concert, but it was actually a love song performance for Mai, so that the students at the school could no longer ignore her presence and inevitably etched this scene into their minds.

It is very likely that they will never forget this event in the future.

The plan is very simple, and there's not much preparation to be done.

The main tasks were negotiating the venue rental with the principal and creating a good enough song, so he asked his Little Senior Sister for help.

The plan was too simplistic, Shuya felt it wasn't safe enough, so he started making phone calls everywhere, asking people who knew Mai but had forgotten her to remember to watch his antics.

This way, they might remember Mai again.

When the students thought of Mai, they remembered that the combination of two happy things might make the process of retrieving Mai's existence easier.

Shuya sure if this will work, but trying it won't get me pregnant.

Not wanting to spoil Mai's story, he went outside to the balcony to make a phone call.

First, call the ones that are easy and won't take much time.

Hyakka, Motoko, Ayase, Kirino, Yuigahama, Kyousuke, and others made a series of phone calls.

Then he called Shizuka Hiratsuka, who surprisingly didn't say anything, only telling him to finish his work as soon as possible and come to class.

Shuya had previously used work as an excuse to ask for leave, so it seems she completely believed him.

After all, he's a cuckold spirit, Shuya has a history of such behavior.

Next, he needed to call Haruno and Yukino... He called Haruno first.

"Hey, Haruno."

"Hmm? Shu-chan?"

Haruno heard a lot of noise coming from her direction; it sounded like she was on the street.

Are you outside right now?

"Yes, I just got off the bus and went to the recording studio. We're moving now. What do you need me for? Are you coming over tonight?"

"No, no, I just need to let you know something."

Haruno laughed and said, "What? Introducing a new woman?"

"?"

Shuya was taken aback. "What do you mean by 'woman'? Well, although it's related to girls, it's not like that."

What is that?

"Keep an eye on Nico Nico Douga tomorrow afternoon around 1 PM, I think they'll be doing a live stream."

"Publicity?"

"No, I'm going to sing for a girl at a high school."

Shuya replied.

What song?

"Love song."

Haruno: "???"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before a sweet, cloying voice said, "Shu-chan, you..."

Shuya calmly said:

Don't overthink it, you'll find out tomorrow. Bye.

"Wait..."

He has already hung up the phone.

Ha, as long as I run fast, the battlefield of carnage can't catch me.

Even if they catch up, they can't beat me.

Shuya then called Yukino.

The phone rang for a while before it was answered.

"Inoue- kun?"

"It's me. What are you doing right now?"

"Handling a request from the Service Club."

What commission?

"Someone I know from Hikigaya asked us to read his novel and give our opinions. I've been reading it since I got home."

Yukino's voice sounded tired; it seemed the novel wasn't very good.

What do you want from me?

She asked.

Shuya repeated the story.

"I see."

Yukino gave a brief reply and then hung up the phone.

Surprisingly, she didn't ask Shuya why; she was probably still upset.

Shuya then remembered Tsuruko, who hadn't appeared for long. She wasn't familiar with Mai, didn't use any technology products, and certainly didn't watch any live broadcasts.

Shuya didn't call her.

And that's about it.

Finally, he thought about it and realized that a stage still needed to be set up.

It's definitely impossible to build it on a school grounds, otherwise the surprise effect would be lost.

Shuya decided to leave it to the Monster to handle, letting them set up the stage first, and then sending a few Monster to move it over.

He explained tomorrow's plan in the group chat, and the great Monster agreed to make the arrangements immediately.

All the preparations are finally complete; all that's left is to wait for tomorrow.

Section 420, Page 391: No time to lose, get on the bus!

Because of his previous successful experience in filming, Shuya was quite confident about this operation.

But whether he was confident or not, he always acted as if nothing was wrong in front of Mai.

As before, Shuya she fell asleep before leaving the room to meditate.

The night passed uneventfully.

As Mai got up, he was also woken up by the disturbance.

Mai stood behind the sofa and poked his face with her finger.

Because she was bending over, strands of her hair would occasionally brush against his face, which tickled him.

Shuya opened his eyes speechlessly and glanced at her sideways.

"Thankfully, you haven't forgotten me."

Mai nodded in satisfaction, then ignored Shuya and went straight to wash up.

Shuya shook his head.

... This enchantress.

Friday is here.

The day of decisive action has arrived... Saying that sounds a bit too melodramatic.

Anyway, the operation has begun.

Mai wasn't quite sure what Shuya wanted to do, so she just went to school as usual today.

Shuya flew to the company as soon as she went to school.

He would rehearse with his Little Senior Sister and two older men in the morning.

After practicing several times, someone came in during the break.

"Hey, you're up so early today too?"

Inoue Hikoo leaned against the doorway, yawning.

He asked, "Don't you have classes at university?"

"... Gone."

Shuya has already given up on correcting it.

"Oh."

Inoue Hikoo was equally too lazy to care.

"I heard you guys are going somewhere to cause trouble today?"

"Minegahara High School will be broadcasting live."

"Oh, okay, I'll see then."

After Inoue Hikoo finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then said, "... Hurry up and get things done; a lot of work is waiting for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shuya looking like he wanted to vomit. "Are you being arrogant? Are you worried about me? Sorry, it's disgusting, I can't stand it physically."

"... ha?"

Inoue Hikoo glared at him, about to unleash a torrent of profanity.

But he finally said, somewhat angrily, "Fine, I'm an adult, I won't argue with a kid like you."

He grumbled and slipped away.

After he left, Hanazawa Sakura sneaked back in, said a few words to Shuya, and then ran off again.

"Hmm, are they really meant to be that kind of persona?"

Shuya checked the age of menopause on his phone.
