"So how do you plan to help Yakishio-chan prepare for her confession?"
After Lemon Yakishio left the rooftop, Yanami curiously asked Asakura.
"First, call that Ayano Mitsuki to the alley behind the school..." Asakura joked, pretending to be serious.
"That sounds more like you're going to teach him a lesson than a confession. You should pay more attention to TPO!" The girl said, pouting.
"What is TPO? Waterproof material?"
"It's Time, Place, and Oishii (delicious)!"
"Only the last one is out of place with the others, both in meaning and pronunciation."
"It's the atmosphere, the atmosphere! Just understand the meaning!"
Yanami Anna said seriously: "If it's just about simply calling someone out, Yakishio-chan wouldn't need us to help her confess, would she?"
"Just kidding, I've pretty much figured out what to do." Asakura smiled confidently.
"Really?" Yanami's face clearly showed suspicion.
"Our club is planning a training camp, right? I intend to use that as a starting point for action..." Asakura explained.
"Wait a minute, why didn't I know the club was going on a training camp?" The girl asked, her face full of questions.
"You know now," Asakura said calmly.
Come to think of it, he seemed to have forgotten to tell Yanami Anna about the training camp.
"Just to ask, besides me, do the other people in the club know? Or rather, besides the two of us, are there any other people in this strange Chiba Magic Society?"
Yanami Anna rubbed her temples, seemingly asking further questions with some confusion.
"There's also Yuigahama and a middle school reserve. Once she passes her entrance exam and gets into Soubu High School, she'll immediately join the Association Clubroom. And if we rank by joining time, her seniority is even higher than yours. Remember to call her 'Senior'."
Asakura replied while taking out his phone to send a message to Gokou and Yuigahama, telling them that the training camp would have some changes, especially Yuigahama, asking her not to spill the beans when she saw Yanami Anna: "They all know about the training camp."
"…So I'm the extra one?" Yanami Anna was greatly shocked, looking like she was hurt, thinking 'I should be under the car, not in the car'.
Actually, Asakura originally didn't intend to take her to the training camp, as the main purpose of the training camp was to train Yui Yuigahama's familiar control ability, and incidentally check the extent of Gokou's Magic mastery.
However, Asakura always felt it wasn't good to exclude Yanami Anna—after all, if you looked at the club application form, Yanami Anna was actually the first to join the club—and now, it just so happened that the Lemon Yakishio incident occurred. So, he decided to add a touch of youth to the originally only-training camp. Anyway, Yuigahama and Gokou's abilities didn't cause much commotion, so there shouldn't be any worries about problems.
But before that, he should first give Yanami Anna some encouragement.
"Don't worry, Yanami Anna, you have your own talents. The day you joined, I already made the decision to reserve that incredibly important position for you."
"Is, is that so? Is it Secretary or Vice President?"
"It's the garbage handler."
"…"
The girl's eyes lost their sparkle, and she started jabbing Asakura's abs.
However, because her strength was very small, she couldn't cause any damage at all.
"Don't underestimate the garbage handler! That's a position that can deal with terrorist attacks!"
"What kind of garbage handler in what world can do something like that?!"
After venting her frustration for a while, and realizing that Asakura was completely unharmed while her own hand hurt, Yanami Anna reluctantly gave up the idea of continuing to physically attack him.
Are men's abs all that hard?
"Besides, Yakishio and her childhood friend have nothing to do with our training camp, do they?"
"Then why not make them involved?" Asakura pulled out a club application form from somewhere and handed it to Yanami Anna: "Later, you can ask Asakura-kun to sign it. After the training camp, whether she wants to withdraw or be a ghost member is up to her."
Anyway, the true form of the Chiba Magic Society is the hidden society that controls supernatural powers, just like the front and back of a piece of paper. No matter how many people are in the surface society, it won't affect the hidden society on the back.
"What about her childhood friend?" The girl took the application form and asked curiously.
"This training camp allows family members," Asakura replied. "The destination is a famous hot spring ryokan in Chiba."
"Really?" The girl's eyes lit up.
"No." Asakura decisively crushed her fantasy: "Later, I will charge Asakura-kun for her childhood friend's share."
Yanami Anna took out her small, deflated wallet, looked at the few pitiful coins inside, and then said to Asakura with difficulty: "Um, if I can't pay, can I add this cost to my debt and repay it by signing in at the club?"
It was clear she really wanted to go on the hot spring trip, but she had absolutely no money left.
"The club members' fees will come from the club fund. Although the school hasn't allocated a budget to our club yet, I will personally cover it for now."
Because the girl looked quite pathetic, Asakura didn't tease her any further this time: "Speaking of which, I don't think I've ever seen your finances healthy."
Although every time Asakura saw Yanami Anna, she seemed to be eating something, after he briefly recalled past situations, he noticed that the snacks she ate seemed to be getting shabbier and shabbier. Not only did she no longer have any pickiness about the snacks in the club, but she would even come over during lunch breaks to freeload his red bean buns.
"Ahaha, because something happened at home," the girl scratched her head and said awkwardly, "So my allowance—to be precise, most of my dad's salary—turned into somen… Would the Club President like some somen?"
"When the weather gets a bit hotter, flowing somen would feel more interesting," Asakura said casually.
He had only seen flowing somen in anime before and hadn't tried making it himself, so he was quite interested in it.
"Huh, but the somen reserves won't last until then, you know?"
"Is the somen almost gone?"
"Not really, there's still more than half left."
"Is your father's salary very low?"
"It's alright. If converted into somen, it's enough to fill about half a room."
"So, your family really likes to eat somen, or you gave somen to neighbors and friends or something?"
"Well, we did give some away, but most of it is still at home."
"Then wait another month or so for the weather to get hot before eating…"
"The reserves won't last until then."
"…"
Asakura always felt that either his or Yanami Anna's understanding of the world was skewed compared to normal people.
