Kanda Shuuichi Doesn't Want to Go Shopping

"Because Kanda gave points to all the students in the class after the Uninhabited Island Exam."

Oh, so you guys only go out and have fun now that you have money, huh?

However, Shuichi Kanda couldn't control their behavior; he figured they could spend the money he gave them however they wanted.

After the meal, Wang Xiaomei and Inogashira clearly wanted to do some more shopping, so Shuichi Kanda and Kushida Kikyo left first.

Since the two decided to go to the Archery Club together later, Shuichi Kanda going to explain to the club president Sato Ken, that he would be joining the Student Council, while Kushida was going to investigate Hashikura- senpai's attitude.

However, since the Archery Club's dojo is located inside the school, you have to go back and put on your school uniform before you can enter.

This is really troublesome...

However, the Archery Club's afternoon activities also start at 2 PM, so the timing is actually just right.

When Shuichi Kanda brought Kushida Kikyo to the Archery Club, most of the members were practicing, including Miyake and Hashikura.

"Oh, what a rare guest, Kanda! It's amazing to see you at the Archery Club during summer vacation." Hashikura- senpai spotted Shuichi Kanda as he approached and came over to greet him. "Is this your girlfriend? She's very cute."

"Instead of worrying about whether I have a girlfriend, shouldn't Senior Hashikura Huan find a boyfriend first? Be careful you don't get too old and still not be able to get married!"

"That mouth of yours is still so sharp."

If you can't beat someone, you resort to violence; that's not gentlemanly!

However, Shuichi Kanda had no choice but to silently endure the distress caused by his facial deformity.

When Kushida saw this, his eyes lit up immediately, as if he had discovered a new continent.

Where is Sato- senpai?

Shuichi Kanda rubbed his face as he searched for Sato Ken's figure in the surroundings.

"The minister just went to change his clothes; he should be out soon."

"Oh, I see. I'll go find him then. This is my classmate, Kushida Kikyo Hashikura. Please entertain her for me, Hashigami-senpai."

Naturally, Shuichi Kanda introduced Hashikura Kikyo to Kushida Kikyo- senpai, while he went to the locker room to find Sato Ken.

Hopefully Kushida, Kushida will be helpful. Even if she doesn't succeed on the first try, she should at least get his contact information. It's quite easy to get information from conversations between girls.

Moreover, Shuichi Kanda brought Kushida Kikyo here today precisely to make Hashikura- senpai misunderstand their relationship, thus making it easier for Kushida to start the conversation with the topic of romance.

Kushida- san, I've done all I can for you. The rest is up to you to use your unparalleled social skills.

As Shuichi Kanda arrived at the men's locker room and was about to go in, the person he was looking for came out.

"Kanda, is this about the Student Council?" Sato Ken stood in front of Shuichi Kanda, holding a longbow.

"Um, did President Horikita already tell you?"

"Yeah, I was a little surprised when you asked me for people this morning, but after hearing about your performance on the Uninhabited Island and the cruise ship, I understand now." Sato Ken nodded, then patted Shuichi Kanda on the shoulder. "A guy like you joining the Student Council to help with the studies is the right path. Besides, you haven't been to the Archery Club for a while, you know."

"Haha, after all, I'm just a logistics staff member!"

"What kind of logistics staff are you? You're more like a ghost member, hahaha."

As he spoke, Sato Ken laughed, "Come with me, you need to submit a withdrawal form to quit a club at our school."

"Yes, that's what I wanted to talk about today."

The application to leave the club is very similar to the application to join the club. After stating the reason for wanting to join the Student Council, it only needs to be signed by the president of the Archery Club and the advisor.

Thus, Shuichi Kanda became a free agent again and was able to apply to join the Student Council. After that, the information on his Student ID was updated, changing from a member of the Archery Club to the Vice President of the Student Council.

"Even after leaving the Archery Club, don't forget the skills of making and maintaining bows and arrows. You might need them someday."

Here we go again, Sato- senpai's riddle-solving segment.

Does this mean that there might be Matoba in the future where we need to use a bow and arrow?

When the two returned to the dojo, Kushida was chatting happily with Hashikura- senpai, so they must have at least succeeded halfway, right?

"Hey! Hashikura, what are you dawdling about instead of practicing?"

From a great distance, Sato Ken yelled at Hashikura- senpai.

"I'll go practice now, let's chat on Line when I have time."

After seeing that Hashikura Shuichi Kanda had finished his business, Hashigaki waved to Kushida and then returned to the practice field.

As he passed by Shuichi Kanda and Sato Ken, Hashikura casually made a face at them. "Sato-senpai is an idiot, Kanda is a moron too."

The two of them had gotten used to this and simply ignored her.

"Then I'll be going now, Sato-senpai. Thank you for taking care of me during this time." Shuichi Kanda took a step back to create some distance between himself and Sato Ken, then bowed to him.

Regardless, Sato Ken took good care of Shuichi Kanda, and he should thank him.

Sato Ken smiled and stepped forward to help Shuichi Kanda.

"Haha, don't be so polite. I hope you can do a good job helping students after you join the Student Council."

Join the Student Council?

Kushida was stunned. Kanda had joined the Student Council.

After leaving the Archery Club, Kushida couldn't wait to ask, "Have you joined the Student Council?"

"Huh? Didn't I say that?"

No, you did that on purpose, didn't you?

"It's just a reservation to join. Please keep it a secret until it's officially announced." Shuichi Kanda winked at Kushida Kikyo.

"Originally, only Ichinose joined the Student Council in the first year, but now you've successfully joined too."

Shuichi Kanda was speechless. "I didn't want to join either, but who told me to stop enjoying my school life?"

"Speaking of which, how's Senior Hashikura Huan doing?"

"Yeah, I really get along with Hashikura- senpai. We even made plans to go to karaoke together next time." Kushida smiled broadly, as if to say, "Praise me!"

"As expected of you! And what about her attitude? Have you found out?"

Shuichi Kanda couldn't wait to start asking about the important matter.

"How can it be so fast? Asking about love on the first meeting, don't you think it's a bit abrupt?" Kushida looked at the anxious Shuichi Kanda bit of a dumbfounded expression.

"Um, okay."

Shuichi Kanda also realized that he had been too concerned and made a mistake.

"But there's good news too." Kushida suddenly stopped, then bent down and turned to look at Shuichi Kanda.

"Good news?"

"Yes, Senior Hashikura and Senior Nagumo have no relationship."

Oh, that's good news! Looks like today wasn't a complete waste.

Come to think of it, I didn't even say hello to Miyake when I went to the Archery Club. I wonder if he's upset about something?

Chapter 146 Shuichi Kanda Doesn't Want to Go Shopping

In the few days since returning to school, Kushida Kikyo has been trying her best to get closer to Hashikura and try to find out information, which has deeply moved Shuichi Kanda.

Even though they have absolutely no connection, since she and Miyake aren't actually that close, she's been so devoted to him now, it feels like I owe her a huge favor.

So, Akito, you'd better let me do what I'm supposed to do from now on!

However, although Kushida has focused her work on Hashikura- senpai these past few days, she hasn't neglected to maintain her relationships with her classmates.

[Actually, next Wednesday is Inogashira's birthday. If possible, should we celebrate her birthday?]

Inogashira is the girl I met when we had dinner before. She seems to be a simple and well-behaved girl.

With so many friends, no wonder you don't have enough points to spend.

However, Shuichi Kanda wasn't particularly interested in such things.

For special reasons, many Japan are religious. Besides Christianity and Buddhism, Japan often has some strange religious sects, which are often referred to as cults.

Although many people do not adhere to any religious sect, they inexplicably place great importance on their birthdays.

However, after Kushida mentioned his birthday, Shuichi Kanda remembered that his birthday was February 1st, which was still quite a while away.

But I don't really want to go.

Shuichi Kanda made no attempt to hide his thoughts, but it was all in vain.

I'll come find you in a bit.

You're just trying to drag me out of the room, aren't you?

What's wrong with letting me stay in my dorm, enjoy the air conditioning, and live a lazy life for a while?

Just as Kushida had said, less than ten minutes later, Kushida, dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and a short skirt, knocked on Shuichi Kanda's door.

It seems like this guy comes here every day lately, and it's a hassle to open the door. Maybe I should get him a spare key card?

"You're really quick."

As the door opened, Shuichi Kanda, who had just gotten out of bed, yawned with messy hair.

"Did you just wake up?"

Kushida Kikyo said somewhat uncertainly.

"Yeah, I stayed up late reading novels last night."

After letting Kushida Kikyo in, Shuichi Kanda took his change of clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Boys take much longer to shower than girls, especially in the summer. It's basically just applying shower gel and rinsing with cold water; washing their hair might take a little longer.

So, about ten minutes later, Shuichi Kanda came out with his hair all wet.

He doesn't use a hairdryer every time he washes his hair, especially since it's summer now, so he just dries it with a towel until it's no longer dripping wet.

Aren't you going to dry your hair?

Kushida, sitting on Shuichi Kanda's bed, glanced at Shuichi Kanda's hair lying on his head.

"Well, it's summer anyway, it'll dry quickly once it's outside, right?"

"No! If you don't dry your hair in time, you might get a headache."

As Kushida spoke, he took a hair dryer from the cabinet on the table, then patted Shuichi Kanda's computer chair, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Since the other party had gone to such lengths, it would be inappropriate for Shuichi Kanda, so he went over and sat down in the chair.

After Kushida plugged in the hairdryer, he used one hand to play with Shuichi Kanda's hair while using the other to operate the hairdryer.

In just a few minutes, Shuichi Kanda's hair became dry.

"Okay, that's good. Remember to dry your hair properly after each wash from now on."

Looking at his masterpiece, Kushida smiled with satisfaction.

"Alright, alright, speaking of which, isn't Inogashira's birthday next Wednesday? Today is only Sunday, isn't it? There are still three days left, isn't there? There's no need to be in such a rush, is there?"

"Of course, we need to prepare a gift in advance. Otherwise, three days will pass quickly while we're hesitating. Shuichi, you've never had a girlfriend before, have you?" Kushida asked suspiciously after putting away the hair dryer.

Shuichi Kanda remained silent, while Kushida was secretly pleased.

"Let's set off then, and get some rest as soon as possible after we've finished shopping!"

Ah, he changed the subject, which means I was right.

Before even stepping out of the room, just standing at the doorway, Shuichi Kanda immediately felt a wave of heat wash over him. It was only a little before 10 a. m., yet the weather had already become so hot.

I casually picked up the wristband hanging on the wall above the shoe cabinet and put it on my left wrist.

Of course, this wasn't for protecting his wrists; it was for Shuichi Kanda to wipe his sweat.

Upon reaching the dormitory's first-floor lobby, Shuichi Kanda realized that Kushida hadn't gone shopping Kushida; she had brought along friends, such as Karuizawa...

There were two other people, one named Matsushita Chiaki and the other named Shinohara Satsuki, I think? The three of them were sitting on the sofa in the hall talking about something, and seemed to be having a good time. They didn't notice that Shuichi Kanda and Kushida had come downstairs.

I thought that even if someone else was there, it would be Wang Xiaomei, since Kushida and she were very close, but he didn't show up. Instead, Karuizawa did.

"I haven't seen Wang Xiaomei. Didn't you call her?"

"Actually Xiao Mei and Karuizawa don't get along very well."
