513 The Album Is a Huge Hit

It's not about whether she's a masochist or not; it's mainly because she's pretty.

If the person who's being sarcastic isn't pretty enough, he would have already snapped back.

Shuya liked the post. "Give me some more, and say a few more insults."

Yukino: "..."

Shuya was so shameless; she felt that if she continued to curse him, she would lose, so she turned to look at the scenery outside the window, indicating that she didn't want to pay attention to him.

No one spoke in the car, and they drove straight to the firm.

Uesugi Futaro quickly got out of the car.

He couldn't help but exhale as he stepped onto the ground; it had been incredibly uncomfortable.

"It feels like it's been ages since I've been to the office..."

Yukino stood outside the building for a while, then murmured nostalgically.

Shuya: "You haven't been doing much modeling lately, of course you won't be coming."

Uesugi said, "I come to class quite often."

He rarely speaks, but unfortunately no one cares whether he attends class or not.

Shuya walked ahead and said, "Let's go in."

The three entered the firm and went straight to their offices.

"Shu-chan, you're here?"

Maeda Saori came out to greet them, carrying ribbons and other decorations; she was decorating the room.

"Hmm, is my mom here?"

Shuya said casually.

"Here I am."

Just as Maeda Saori nodded, Shuya saw Hanazawa Sakura come out from inside.

She was delighted to see Shuya and the other two, and walked over with a smile, saying, "Welcome, welcome."

"Mom, I'm here."

"Oh."

Shuya greeted him with a smile, Hanazawa Sakura nodded casually to him before ignoring him and hugging Yukino.

Shuya: "?"

Hanazawa Sakura smiled warmly, "Yukino- chan, it's been so long! I've missed you so much!"

"Oh, hello president..."

Yukino swayed uncomfortably, but knowing that struggling was useless, she let Hanazawa Sakura hug her tightly.

Uesugi, standing at the back. "Good afternoon, President."

"Hello, Futaro-kun."

Hanazawa Sakura smiled and nodded.

"Hahaha..."

Uesugi smiled politely and stepped aside.

He hadn't been with the company long, so he was cautious and didn't dare to say much.

Hanazawa Sakura pulls Yukino aside to talk, as is her usual way of trying to persuade her to become a voice actress.

After exchanging a few words, she noticed Shuya standing there dumbfounded, so she said, "What are you standing there for? If you're so free, go help with the setup."

"?"

Shuya: "Isn't today a celebration for my album's huge success? Why do I have to decorate?"

Am I celebrating myself?

"Everyone's here to celebrate for you, is it alright if you go and help with the decorations?"

"Hesitatingly speaking..."

Shuya took the ribbons from the table and hung them on the wall.

"I'll help too."

Uesugi also helped with the setup.

Hanazawa Sakura chatted with Yukino for a while, and then they went to help with the decorations.

Over the next few hours, members of the agency arrived one after another.

"President, Shuya- senpai, we're here!"

"Oh, are you setting things up? Let us help."

Ayase and Kirino came over together and immediately joined in the decorating.

Then Kyousuke arrived. "I'm here... Hey, Kirino, why did you bump into me!"

He was bumped into by Kirino was passing by, and cursed at her in exasperation before joining in the preparations.

The next one to arrive was Haruno. She tossed her backpack onto the sofa and rushed over to hug Yukino: "Yukino- chan! Did you miss me?"

"No, get out."

"Ara ara, Haruno- chan, you're here!"

"Hello, President!"

Haruno instantly changed targets and pounced on Hanazawa Sakura, nuzzling her repeatedly.

"They're all here? I'm not the last one, am I?"

Hyakka, wearing her school uniform, pushed open the door and saw a large group of people doing something; the scene was rather chaotic.

Shuya replied, "Not everyone has arrived yet."

No sooner had she finished speaking Motoko appeared.

"Oh, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon."

Hyakka then came in with her.

Motoko looked around; the decorations were mostly complete, with colorful ribbons fluttering in the air, creating a festive atmosphere.

Shuya was holding a balloon and inflating it.

Hyakka said, "Shall I help too?"

"Then me too."

Motoko and Hyakka sat opposite Shuya, ready to help.

Hyakka paused, her outstretched hand still. "Hmm? There's only one air pump left."

Motoko said, "You can use the Hyakka one; I'll use the Blow one."

"Oh, okay."

Hyakka took the air pump without any hesitation.

"Motoko, you can use mine. I'll go look somewhere else."

Shuya was getting bored, so he tossed his tools to Motoko and went to the side to try and slack off.

But with Hanazawa Sakura around, how could she give him a chance to slack off?

Hanazawa Sakura lectured and criticized him, beating him up like a son... wait, he seems to be her son.

That's alright then.

The people around him were thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.

Mai arrived at this moment and immediately saw Shuya's unfortunate state.

"Hahaha."

She couldn't help but laugh happily.

"Oh, Mai- chan's here. Mom, please stop reading. People will laugh at us."

"What's there to be afraid of? They're all on our side."

After saying that, Hanazawa Sakura was about to continue her lecture.

But at this moment, the wild Little Senior Sister also appeared:

"Hello everyone... Ah, what's this?"

"Little Senior Sister, save me!"

Shuya quickly came over and hid behind her.

She panicked. "Huh? Shuya- kun?"

"Waaah, Shu-chan, you're so terrible."

Hyakka was the first to join in the commotion.

"Hey! Let go of that Little Senior Sister over there!"

Haruno, fearing nothing more than a peaceful world, called out from afar.

"Shuya, you're doing something a bit..."

"Inoue- kun, the lowest..."

Mai and Yukino voiced their condemnation.

Seeing this, Kyousuke chimed in, "Shuya, this won't do."

"No, it's okay."

The Little Senior Sister wasn't used to being stared at, so she forced herself to say to Hanazawa Sakura, "Um... club president..."

"It's nothing, I was just teasing him."

Hanazawa Sakura waved her hand, implying that there's no point in having children if you don't enjoy playing games.

"That spendthrift old woman."

Shuya rolled his eyes.

"Shuya- kun, don't talk about family like that."

The Little Senior Sister heard Shuya muttering something and said something to him.

Shuya chuckled awkwardly and quickly pulled up a chair, "Little Senior Sister, sit down and rest for a while!"

"That's not good. I see everyone is setting things up, so I'll come and help."

My Little Senior Sister is so energetic and adorable.

Section 552, Album 513: A Big Seller

Shuya said, "No need, Little Senior Sister, you can just sit down."

"No, no, no, you can't do that."

The Little Senior Sister declined Shuya's special treatment and joined him in decorating the agency.

With so many people working together, the office decoration was completed quickly.

Shuya personally doesn't have any ambition in this regard.

But Hanazawa Sakura felt that this was too ceremonial, and that setting up a venue was necessary to make it feel like a celebration.

After the setup was complete, everyone was quite energetic and chatted together, not feeling tired at all.

The girls all gathered around Hanazawa Sakura, chatting away; she was even more popular than Shuya.
