"Um, Miss Shizuka, I don't think it's necessary, besides...""Besides my ass! Participating in club activities is part of school life, you must participate.""Miss Shizuka, I don't have time for club activities, I have a part-time job.""Part-time job, what kind of part-time job?""I haven't found one yet, Miss Shizuka, I'm living independently now, you know that!" Mochizuki Yo decided to act pathetic and play the sympathy card to escape club activities.
"Is that so, I almost forgot, haha." Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher's tone softened, and Mochizuki Yo thought his pathetic act had worked and he wouldn't have to participate in club activities.
Actually, the Shizuka Hiratsuka family and the Mochizuki family have a good relationship, so Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher is also aware of Mochizuki's basic situation.
"However, you still have to participate in club activities, I won't allow you to stay home and degenerate every day."
"I haven't degenerated, if I don't work, I won't have money to support myself, Miss Shizuka."
"I believe you can balance your part-time job and club activities, besides, if you run out of money, you can borrow from me, after all, I promised your parents I would take good care of you." I don't even believe myself!
"Really?" Mochizuki Yo was a little happy for a moment, could it be that he was going to be taken care of?
"Really, so let's go!" After saying that, Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher immediately tried to pull Mochizuki Yo to leave, but Mochizuki Yo was still struggling and resisting.
"Sigh!" Seeing Mochizuki Yo so resistant, Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher let go of his hand, and her tone softened.
"Actually, I'm not forcing you! Just think of it as helping me out.
That child in this club is too lonely, just like you, she doesn't interact with people at school.
If this continues, I'm afraid it's not good for her growth, and you don't have much to do anyway, so go keep her company." Mochizuki Yo was startled by Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher's behavior, this was the first time Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher had spoken to him so gently and kindly.
"Moreover, there's not much going on in the club, you can just go sit for a while." Looking at Miss Shizuka's pleading eyes.
Mochizuki Yo's heart softened.
"Okay then!"
"Oh, let's go!" Seeing Mochizuki Yo's tone soften, Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher directly pulled Mochizuki Yo outside again.
Where could mere Mochizuki Yo have the strength to break free?
"Hey, Miss Shizuka! Why are you still pulling me!"
"Afraid you'll run away." I always feel like Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher has a smug look on her face!
"I already promised to help you!!!" Damn it, where did the gentle Miss Shizuka go!
Just like that, Mochizuki Yo was dragged outside a room in the corner of the corridor.
Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher didn't seem to have any intention of knocking, but directly turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.
"Yo, Yukinoshita, I brought you a club member." Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher said casually, it seemed that Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher also had a good relationship with the room's owner.
Responding was a clear, calm, slightly helpless female voice, just hearing the voice made him feel like she might be a beautiful girl.
"Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher, I've told you many times, when will you remember to knock." Mochizuki Yo gradually raised his head, the first thing that came into view was a pair of black ladies' leather shoes, followed by a pair of straight legs wrapped in black over-the-knee socks.
Then came the school's uniform short skirt, paired with the school's white shirt, making the girl's waist seem easily grasped.
It's the same school uniform, but some people just wear it with a different flavor!
Looking at the face of the voice's owner, her face was calm, her cheeks pure and flawless, and her long black hair fell down her back and shoulders.
Mochizuki Yo had to admit, she was a very cute and beautiful girl, among the girls he had met, perhaps only Shiina Mahiru could compete with her.
The word perfect floated into Mochizuki Yo's mind, but he always felt like something was missing, Mochizuki Yo's gaze slightly solidified on a certain spot on the girl's body, and he understood what was missing.
So that's it, he quickly and subtly shifted his gaze away, after all, that would be impolite.
Moreover, Mochizuki Yo didn't want to be misunderstood.
Combining the girl's features and Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher's previous address, Mochizuki Yo had already guessed who the beautiful girl in front of him was.
Yukino Yukinoshita, the girl who got into Soubu High School with the highest score.
Also, because she kept to herself and always criticized those who confessed to her, making them feel worthless, she was also called the Ice Beauty.
Moreover, she was sharp-tongued!
His fragile heart couldn't withstand her criticism, it was better to keep his distance.
"Well, I did knock before, but Yukinoshita, you didn't hear it."
"That's because every time I was about to speak, you would burst in, sensei."
"Is that so, hahahahaha." Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher laughed it off.
"So, sensei, you're skipping the knocking step now, is that it?" Looking at the verbal sparring between Yukino Yukinoshita and Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher, Mochizuki Yo felt it was amazing, after all, he had never gained the upper hand against Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher, mainly because she always threatened him with physical force.
"Well, don't worry about it, I'm here to see you about something today."
"Then, sensei, what is it about bringing this guy who looks completely lazy and listless? Please keep it short, as my time is precious." Listless, Mochizuki Yo felt offended.
"His name is Mochizuki Yo, I want him to join your club."
"I refuse, I feel my safety cannot be guaranteed in the same room as this kind of guy."
"Don't say that, Yukinoshita, this guy isn't like that."
"You can't be sure, after all, he was just secretly looking at me." Mochizuki Yo's mouth twitched, it seemed his peeking was discovered, and that's why she was mocking him.
"No way, I was clearly looking openly, and that's not called peeking, what's wrong with observing the unfamiliar environment when entering an unfamiliar room?" Mochizuki Yo decided to retort, saying he was peeking, was he that kind of person?
He had to clear his name.
"That's right, Yukinoshita, you can be assured of Mochizuki's character.
I guarantee it." Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher also spoke up for Mochizuki Yo, patting her ample chest.
Mochizuki Yo was a little touched, and silently added a few points to Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher in his heart.
Unfortunately, the feeling of being touched didn't last long.
"Besides, look at this guy's arms, what could he do to you." Because Mochizuki Yo had been eating instant noodles for a long time, he looked a bit thin and didn't seem to have much strength.
Mochizuki Yo felt like he was being hit by Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher again.
Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze lingered on Mochizuki Yo, as if contemplating Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher's words.
"Moreover, you don't have enough members in your Service Club, this can be considered my request, I want you to correct this kid's negative attitude, I won't allow this guy to slack off." Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher said, waving her hand, and then left.
"Service Club? What a strange name, is this club legitimate? Hey, I haven't agreed yet!"
"Also, what do you mean correct me!" Mochizuki Yo felt a cold gaze shoot towards him, and quickly shut up.
"Since it's sensei's request, I will reluctantly accept you."
"I'm the one reluctantly joining!"
"Mochizuki Yo... right, move a chair yourself and sit down." After saying that, Yukinoshita picked up the book spread out on the desk and continued reading.
Sigh, joining is joining, otherwise, being bothered by Miss Shizuka all day would be uncomfortable.
And the environment here is good, there's air conditioning too.
Mochizuki Yo moved a set of table and chairs and placed them opposite Yukinoshita.
As soon as he sat down and looked up, he saw the girl's delicate face.
"I know I'm very cute, please, perverted Mochizuki student, don't look at me with lewd eyes, it makes me feel unsafe." After coming here, he had been mocked by Yukinoshita several times, Mochizuki Yo decided to fight back, he wasn't someone to be easily bullied.
And in his heart, he labeled Yukinoshita as sharp-tongued.
"Although Yukinoshita student is very cute, she's not my type." After saying that, a smug smile played on his lips, and his gaze subtly drifted towards a certain spot.
"Oh my, Mr. Slouch, is your male gaze really that shallow? Do you only focus on useless places?"
"Yes, yes, it's that shallow, besides, this isn't a useless place, otherwise Yukinoshita student wouldn't care so much, right!" Yukinoshita put down her book, her eyes fixed on Mochizuki Yo, and she clenched her fists.
Finding that Yukinoshita seemed to be at a loss for words, Mochizuki Yo decided to press his advantage.
"Could it be that Yukinoshita student was hit where it hurts, haha."
"I forgot to tell you, Mochizuki student, my Aikido is black belt level, dealing with two of you shouldn't be a problem." Yukinoshita replied proudly.
Aikido black belt? I almost forgot about that!
He was no match for her.
Even though Yukinoshita seemed like a very delicate girl, Mochizuki Yo was unwilling to believe it.
But recalling that Yukinoshita was a famous prodigy, there was nothing she couldn't learn.
Looking at her clenched fists, Mochizuki Yo decided to back down.
"President Yukinoshita, I was just making a joke to lighten the atmosphere.
I actually wanted to ask who our club serves?" Yukinoshita unclenched her fists and crossed her arms.
"Hmph, foolish, do you only understand things literally?"
"Isn't it? Please enlighten me, Bucho (Club President)." Mochizuki Yo was indeed curious about what the Service Club did, given its name.
Moreover, since he was now under her roof, calling her Bucho (Club President) wasn't a big deal.
"Since my only club member has sincerely asked, I will reluctantly tell you.
The Service Club mainly accepts requests from students and helps them solve problems, it doesn't serve anyone, and of course, it doesn't accept just any request."
"I see, so it's just helping students, why not call it the Helping Club, taking such a strange name." Mochizuki Yo felt Yukinoshita's cold gaze again, this time the gaze was closer and more intimidating.
"That's because some people have dirty thoughts and think in strange ways."
"Yukinoshita, don't go too far!"
"Hmph, are you getting angry because I hit the mark?" Mochizuki Yo was speechless and decided not to argue with her, taking out his phone to look at it.
However, it was clear that Yukinoshita didn't want to let him off so easily.
"It's club activity time now, please, Mochizuki student, don't play on your phone." Mochizuki Yo looked at Yukino Yukinoshita sitting directly opposite him with a resentful expression.
"Then, Bucho (Club President), what club activities are there now." Mochizuki Yo decided to cooperate with her anyway, since no one was coming with requests right now.
"Right now, the first request is to reform you." Mochizuki Yo remembered what Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher had just said and realized what Yukinoshita meant.
"That was Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher talking nonsense, I don't think I need any reforming." Suddenly, as if realizing something, Mochizuki Yo's face darkened.
Pfft, what reforming, why does she make me sound like a criminal, she's definitely getting revenge on me.
Mochizuki Yo thought to himself.
"I think it's very necessary, not just your lazy behavior and attitude, but also your perverted thoughts." As expected, she was getting revenge on him, what perverted thoughts did he have, as a light novel author, what was wrong with his divergent thinking?
"If I'm not mistaken, Mochizuki student doesn't have many friends, right.
You don't participate in club activities and often go straight home after school alone."
"Friends? I'm just too lazy to interact with a bunch of immature people, this is called reducing ineffective social interaction.
Does Bucho (Club President) have friends?" Seriously, you're the one without friends, Yukinoshita!
Miss Shizuka said you were too lonely and asked me to come keep you company!
"That depends on how you define friends."
"Then you don't have friends, do you? It looks like Bucho (Club President) is the one who needs reforming."
