Chapter 977: Chapter 891: The Young Lady Hesitates, the Class President Sounds the Charge
Inside the Human Observation Society.
The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
After a brief moment of shock, Ayatsuki Ayaka decided to accept Natsuka Yanagimachi.
Hojo Shouko, the person involved, had no objections.
As an outsider, she had no reason to comment on their relationship.
As for the newly added sister.
She didn’t mind.
Three, four, five, six didn’t sound much different after all.
As long as Aozawa could handle it, Ayatsuki Ayaka wasn’t worried.
And Aozawa clearly could handle it.
Ayatsuki Ayaka felt that Aozawa was like the protagonist of an adult manga.
Possessing iron kidneys and a steel gun.
She chatted with them for a while, then laughed as she saw them off from the Human Observation Society, closing the door.
Ayatsuki Ayaka turned around, her big, watery eyes scanning her three friends with a cautious look, glaringly saying: "Saeko, tell me honestly.
You didn’t develop any feelings for Aozawa, right?"
Takahashi Saeko was speechless at her vigilant demeanor, shrugging: "Please, I allow myself to have several relationships, but I won’t allow my partners to do the same.
That’s my professional ethics."
Tama Chan playfully brushed her hair, smiling: "Me too."
The pressure shifted to Miyahara Kaoru.
Ayatsuki Ayaka stared at this friend.
Thinking carefully, she hadn’t heard Miyahara Kaoru mention having any partners.
Following her for so long, it’s always been talks about makeup and clothing styles.
"Kaoru, what about you?"
Miyahara Kaoru spread her hands and said: "I also have no interest."
Seeing Ayatsuki Ayaka’s cautious demeanor, she was genuinely afraid that making a request like Natsuka Yanagimachi’s would affect their relationship.
Maybe they couldn’t even be friends.
Ayatsuki Ayaka let out a sigh of relief; she couldn’t be like Hojo Shouko, accepting her friends developing feelings for Aozawa.
She couldn’t possibly push her friends forward like that.
Anyone else would be one thing.
But friends, she found the idea incredibly awkward no matter how she thought about it.
She couldn’t understand why Natsuka Yanagimachi and Hojo Shouko could agree to such a thing.
All she could say was, with today’s youth, even a single year’s gap might create an insurmountable generational divide.
"I’m going to the restroom."
Takahashi Saeko got up, heading outside the activity room, preparing to make a report to the lady.
...
Third floor, Manga Club.
The afternoon tea party was ongoing.
Phoenix Academy Maggie enjoyed this leisurely atmosphere, listening to two friends chatter about the ridiculous plot in recent manga.
Ding, suddenly her phone chimed, she opened it and saw it was a message from Takahashi Saeko.
"Important intel, I’m waiting for you at the third-floor stairwell."
"Alright."
Phoenix Academy Maggie was a bit curious about what the important intel could be?
Recently, she hadn’t assigned specific tasks to Takahashi Saeko, only asked her to regularly gather road news. freёweɓnovel.com
"I’m going to the restroom."
Phoenix Academy Maggie stood up, using this excuse to leave the Manga Club.
She walked along the empty corridor to the stairwell.
At this time, there was no one on the stairs up or down.
Takahashi Saeko with short brown hair covering her ears stood there, her smiling expression like a fox that had tasted meat.
Phoenix Academy Maggie’s eyes flashed with suspicion, subtly feeling a bad premonition.
Judging by her expression, the report was likely not related to business.
Phoenix Academy Maggie secretly clenched her fist, stepping forward and asked: "What’s the important intel you have?"
"Earlier, Hojo Shouko led Natsuka Yanagimachi to the Human Observation Society to greet Ayatsuki.
Said Natsuka Yanagimachi had officially established a romantic relationship with Aozawa and asked Ayatsuki to take care of them."
While Takahashi Saeko spoke, she constantly and quietly observed Phoenix Academy Maggie’s expression.
The golden long hair fell over her shoulders, the doll-like delicate face showed no emotion upon hearing such news, akin to a passionless white jade statue.
She calmly glanced at Takahashi Saeko, said nonchalantly: "This is the important intel you mentioned?"
"I thought for the lady, this news would be significant."
"The Imperial Court Retainers is not a gossip media, and if it happens again, don’t blame me for docking your pay."
Phoenix Academy Maggie tightly clenched her hand behind her back, suppressing the tumultuous waves within her heart.
She never imagined Aozawa’s time was so extensive.
With her, Ayatsuki Ayaka, Hojo Shouko, plus Arakawa Reina, Morimoto Chiyoda.
Five people, it would be impossible for each person to have separate days to talk to Aozawa; messages were surely sent randomly.
Even under such circumstances, Aozawa managed to be together with Natsuka Yanagimachi.
What kind of time management was arranged to accomplish such a thing?
Didn’t everyone only have twenty-four hours in a day?
Phoenix Academy Maggie couldn’t understand.
Every time she chatted using software, she received Aozawa’s reply instantly.
Or maybe, besides her.
Were they all indifferent to Aozawa chatting with other girls?
Phoenix Academy Maggie was puzzled.
Unable to figure out how Aozawa managed his time.
But none of those doubts would show on her face.
She wouldn’t let Takahashi Saeko see her amusement.
This woman revealing these things to her was certainly not out of duty.
She must be wanting to witness her remorseful, angry expression.
That would be underestimating her too much.
Phoenix Academy Maggie sneered inwardly.
She never exposed a weak demeanor in front of outsiders.
After careful observation, Takahashi Saeko realized she wouldn’t get any amusement, sighed: "Sorry, I’ll be leaving then."
"Mm."
Phoenix Academy Maggie briefly replied, turning back towards the Manga Club.
...
Returning to the activity room.
Her inner frustration and emotions suddenly erupted.
The visible shadow covered her face.
Yoshikawa Sayuri saw the expression on her face, exclaimed: "Maggie, are you constipated?"
