Huangquan Luna chewed on the potato chips, looked at the small mountain of snacks piled in front of her, thought for a moment, and agreed to Ayanokoji.
"Alright, since you've personally asked me, I'll help you out this once for the sake of these snacks."
This Dou Di Zhu Competition was expected to attract a lot of attention. After the competition, people would definitely see the value of this game and start secretly inquiring about the organizer of the competition and the inventor of Landlord.
To avoid trouble, Ayanokoji wanted a Student Council member to appear as a guest at the venue, making outsiders believe that the organizer of the [Dou Di Zhu Competition] was actually the Student Council, thus dispelling the curiosity of those busybodies.
Ayanokoji didn't know many Student Council members, only Miharu Taki Sakura, Mibuomi Aoi, Sachiko Juraku, and Huangquan Luna.
Originally, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka wanted to invite Sachiko Juraku, but she refused. Mikura herself was not a member of the Student Council, so even if she appeared at the competition, it wouldn't represent anything.
There was no need to mention Mibuomi Aoi; this guy was an ambitious person and had a small grudge with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, so Ayanokoji certainly wouldn't ask him.
Miharu Taki Sakura was actually a very good candidate. As the Beautification Committee Chairman, she held a respectable position in the school, and her relationship with Ayanokoji was also quite good. If Ayanokoji asked, she would most likely not refuse, but unfortunately, she was Mibuomi Aoi's fiancée, making it difficult to easily ask her.
Therefore, Ayanokoji came to Huangquan Luna. She was a member of the Supervision and Management Committee and a qualified Dealer, so inviting her was fitting.
According to Mikura, Huangquan Luna was mostly free and usually just stayed in the lounge eating snacks and playing games, so inviting her would most likely not be rejected.
To persuade Huangquan Luna, Ayanokoji specially prepared many N-card snacks for her.
Under the temptation of these snacks, Huangquan Luna couldn't resist and agreed to Ayanokoji.
Just as Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had settled things with Huangquan and was about to leave, someone knocked on the lounge door and entered.
The person who knocked was an unfamiliar girl. She wore large black-rimmed glasses, had her black hair tied into two braids, and held a book in her hand, looking like a rustic country girl, which instantly brought back bad memories for Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
"Excuse me, Huangquan-senpai, do you need any help here? Do you want me to play games with you?" the girl politely and softly inquired.
"I won't be playing games today. If you have nothing else, you can leave now," Huangquan casually waved her hand, dismissing the girl.
But suddenly, as if she remembered something, her eyes lit up: "Oh, by the way, Ayanokoji, does your competition need a host? I have a suitable candidate."
"A host?"
"Indeed, this competition will definitely need a host to control the flow."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka stood behind the scenes, not planning to show his face. He had originally intended for Kurume Laiwei to double as the host, but since Huangquan Luna had someone to recommend, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was naturally happy to hear her suggestion.
"Is this the girl you're talking about?"
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka looked up at the somewhat flustered black-haired girl and couldn't help but ask, "...You wouldn't happen to be named Yoshida, would you?"
"Eh!?" The girl quickly shook her head, "My name isn't Yoshida. I'm Yumemi Yumemite, a first-year student."
"I see..." Ayanokoji Kiyotaka felt relieved and asked Huangquan Luna, "How can she help me? Is she good at hosting?"
Huangquan Luna grinned and said, "Didn't you attend the matching party hosted by Senior Juraku a few days ago? She was the host."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka remembered that the girl had pink hair, but now she had black hair...
"Is it a wig?" Ayanokoji Kiyotaka quickly figured it out.
"That's right." Yumemi Yumemite thought Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was from the Student Council and nodded repeatedly, "This is actually just my disguise..."
Saying that, she took off her wig and glasses.
In just a moment, the plain-looking girl in front of Ayanokoji Kiyotaka transformed into a vibrant young woman with pink twin tails.
Her face was beautiful, with light makeup, and a confident smile played on her lips. In this school, where many aristocratic young ladies attended, she was also a strikingly beautiful girl.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka seemed to have some impression of her appearance.
Thinking this, he picked up his phone and searched for the name "Yumemi Yumemite." A moment later, he found the answer he was looking for.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka looked up in surprise, "You're a school idol?"
That's right, no wonder Ayanokoji Kiyotaka felt she looked familiar; she was a current idol singer.
In Japan, many girls are scouted in junior high. After signing with an agency and training for a few months, they debut as a "girl idol" group.
They start from small theaters in places like Akihabara, gradually attracting fans by calling out to passersby, and then move on to bigger stages.
Being a girl idol is a highly competitive job. It looks glamorous, but less than one in ten groups manage to last more than two years.
Yumemi Yumemite was considered excellent among these girl idols. She sang and danced well, and still had regular live performances at the theater every week. She was a somewhat famous idol and had appeared on many variety shows.
Although Ayanokoji Kiyotaka wasn't very familiar with her, he had some impression.
He didn't expect her to start attending this school, and even in disguise.
In the previous matching party, she performed excellently as the host, successfully stirring up the emotions of the contestants below the stage, making Tanaka Yuzuna, that young master, unable to forget her.
No wonder Kuroki Ya and the others couldn't find her; with this disguise, it would be strange if they could.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka leaned closer to Huangquan Luna and whispered, "You mean, let her be the host for the competition? Her hosting skills are very good, and I'd be happy to have her as the host. But, will she really help me?"
Huangquan Luna said confidently, "Don't worry, Yumemi wants to join the Student Council but doesn't have a way in, so she's been trying to curry favor with us recently. As long as I ask, she'll definitely be the host."
"It's just..." Huangquan Luna stopped mid-sentence, then extended her hand towards Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, her meaning clear.
"Don't worry, you'll get your reward." Ayanokoji Kiyotaka smiled.
"Then there's no problem!"
Huangquan Luna just wanted Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's words. She smiled at Yumemi Yumemite, cleared her throat, and said seriously, "Yumemi, actually, I've been troubled by something recently. I have a friend who wants to hold a competition, but he's missing a host..."
Before Huangquan Luna could finish, Yumemi Yumemite already understood her meaning and quickly said, "Leave this to me, I'm very good at hosting!"
Huangquan Luna still looked troubled, "But, this isn't a Student Council task, so even if you help me, I can't promise you anything..."
"I know, I offered to help Senpai myself!" Yumemi Yumemite was tactful and said with a smile, "I am willing to offer my strength to Senpai."
Huangquan Luna winked at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka proudly.
"I'll send the snacks over in two days." Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was also tactful and whispered.
With just a few words, she got another batch of snacks. Huangquan Luna happily sat on the sofa, no longer bothering Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
"Senior Yuya Mei, are you still proficient in hosting? Do you need a long time to practice?" Ayanokoji Kiyotaka looked up and asked her.
"Not at all!" Yumemi Yumemite shook her head with a smile, "As long as I'm on stage, I can instantly transform into a vibrant school idol..."
"No transforming!" Ayanokoji Kiyotaka blurted out.
"...?" Yumemi Yumemite tilted her head, very confused.
"It's nothing." Ayanokoji Kiyotaka naturally took a bag of shrimp chips from the snack pile and handed it to her, "Let's talk about the content of the hosting..."
