Tokyo: Something's wrong with my label

Chapter 126 Study Meeting

"Study meeting?"

Takehara Maki had just walked out of the Discipline Committee's classroom when she suddenly saw the message from Aragaki Yasushi, and her heartbeat could not help but accelerate.

"Aragaki-san is holding a study session at home."

Takehara Maki felt an inexplicable joy in her heart because she could study with Aragaki Yasushi.

She has long been looking forward to studying with Aragaki Yasushi.

But Yasushi Aragaki doesn't seem to have much desire for learning, and has always been relatively Buddhist.

Therefore, Takehara Maki felt happy only after seeing Aragaki Yasushi's invitation.

However, the next moment, Aragaki Yasu sent another message.

Takehara Maki glanced at it, and her heart sank suddenly. There was a little uneasiness and worry in the original joy.

"Kakuda-san also wants to participate..."

Yasushi Aragaki did not conceal the news of Saya Tsunoda's participation, but directly told Takehara Maki about it.

This made Takehara Maki's heart like the undulating waves, unable to calm down.

Although Yasushi Aragaki stated in the news that he could reject Saya Tsunoda's proposal.

However, Takehara Maki was worried that doing so would arouse Aragaki Yasu's disgust.

Maki Takehara knew that she couldn't back down, but she didn't want to appear too deliberate and forceful.

In other words, Takehara Maki herself is not a strong person like Saya Tsunoda. Even after transforming into a vampire, she can only scare Saya Tsunoda at most.

If it was Saya Tsunoda who was transformed into a vampire, then Takehara Maki would have probably become her blood slave at this time.

In this complex emotion, Takehara Maki's heart is full of entanglements and contradictions.

At this moment, suddenly, a familiar voice came from not far away.

"Maki?"

Aragaki Jing just left the student union room and was about to walk downstairs when he saw a familiar figure.

Maki Takehara leaned against the window next to the door of the Discipline Committee. The sunlight shined on her face through the glass, reflecting her fair and delicate skin.

Her eyes looked brighter and clearer under the sunlight, as if they could see through people's hearts.

Takehara Maki's fingers gently twisted the hem of her skirt, showing her inner tension and uneasiness.

There was a bit of anxiety and a bit of expectation in her eyes.

After hearing Aragaki Yasushi's voice, Takehara Maki trembled slightly.

Aragaki Jing's heart moved, he walked forward and asked softly: "Maki, what's wrong? Why are you here?"

Aragaki Jing was a little strange.

Although the office of the Discipline Committee is right opposite the student union room.

On the top floor of the club building, there are only the activity classrooms of the two institutions of Jindai-in.

However, unlike the student union, the disciplinary committee does not need to come to the disciplinary committee on weekdays. They only need to be responsible for going to and from school every day according to the duty schedule.

Of course, sometimes, there will be some activities or meetings that need to be attended by the disciplinary committee members.

Takehara Maki turned his head and saw Aragaki Yasushi, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

But she quickly adjusted her mood and tried to sound calm.

"nothing."

Takehara Maki shook his head.

She was called by the Disciplinary Committee Chairman this afternoon because of the dispute she had with Saya Tsunoda at the school gate this morning.

There was no big problem. The senior who was the chairman of the Discipline Committee just teased Takehara Maki casually, and then couldn't wait to eat.

I want to know about her relationship with Aragaki Yasushi and Tsunoda Saya.

It’s human nature to eat melons.

Aragaki Jing didn't care.

It can't be some kind of coercion.

Putting aside the fact that most of the disciplinary committee members are female, the chairperson of this term's disciplinary committee is a senior senior.

Just based on the strength of Takehara Maki's blood clan, they would not be intimidated by others.

"So, Maki, what's your opinion on the study meeting?"

Aragaki Jing asked.

The sunlight poured down slightly, hitting Aragaki Jing's face, making him look even more handsome.

He stood in front of Takehara Maki and looked at her with a smile, as if he was admiring a beloved work of art.

Takehara Maki took a deep breath, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "Study meeting, I...I have no problem."

Although she tried to sound calm, Aragaki could still feel the tension inside her.

"I understand."

Aragaki Yasushi nodded, but then asked again: "Will it not affect your study, Maki? Or forget it, wait until the midterm exam is over, and then..."

At this moment, Takehara Maki interrupted Aragaki Yasushi's words directly.

"No, I have no problem." Takehara Maki repeated, with a firm tone and a hint of gentleness and firmness in her voice.

She looked directly into Aragaki's eyes, her eyes sparkling with light, as if she wanted to carve Aragaki deeply into her heart.

"In that case, let's go home together." Aragaki Jing said with a smile, his smile was full of warmth and doting.

"Okay, let's go home together."

Takehara Maki responded, her smile bright and bright.

She felt as if her mood was illuminated by the sun, bright and warm.

They walked down the stairs side by side, Aragaki's steps were steady and strong, and Takehara Maki followed closely beside him.

Their elbows occasionally touched lightly, as if conveying a silent emotion.

"By the way, Tsunoda-san is waiting for us at the school gate."

Aragaki Jing said softly, his voice was gentle and magnetic.

"Ah."

Takehara Maki hummed lightly and said nothing more.

She felt a little nervous, but more of it was anticipation.

……

The entrance to Jindai-in.

Saya Tsunoda stood at the school gate a little irritably, waiting for the arrival of Yasushi Aragaki.

"Why aren't you here yet?"

Saya Tsunoda murmured to herself, with a bit of anxiety and expectation in her voice.

She looked up in the direction of the club building, expecting Yasu Aragaki's figure to suddenly appear.

But apart from the students returning home after club activities, there was no one that Saya Tsunoda expected.

An ominous premonition surged in Saya Tsunoda's heart, as if something was about to happen.

Not long after, not far away, Takehara Maki and Aragaki Yasu walked together.

The setting sun shone on them, coating them with a layer of golden-red light. Both of them had top-notch looks. They attracted the attention of people around them wherever they went. The golden boy and girl looked like they were born to do so. A pair.

Aragaki smiled, his eyes falling gently on Takehara Maki's face.

Takehara Maki lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly into Aragaki Yasushi's gaze. When they reached Saya Tsunoda, their steps stopped involuntarily.

They were less than half a meter apart, and there seemed to be a subtle tension in the air.

Saya Tsunoda looked at Takehara Maki, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if she was examining a potential opponent.

A trace of displeasure and vigilance flashed in her eyes, as if a keen cheetah had sensed a threat.

"Hello, I'm Saya Tsunoda." Although she felt a little unhappy inside, Saya Tsunoda still greeted Maki Takehara politely.

After all, we have to study together tonight, and considering Aragaki-kun's academic performance, Saya Tsunoda believes that the person mainly responsible for guidance should be Takehara Maki.

As a result, Saya Tsunoda was not as irritable as she was in the morning.

She tried to hide her emotions, but there was still a hint of coldness and alienation in her tone.

Maki Takehara also felt the unkindness of Saya Tsunoda, but she did not show it.

Takehara Maki gently raised her head, looked directly at Saya Tsunoda with her clear eyes, nodded politely, and responded: "Hello, I am Takehara Maki."

Her voice was soft and gentle, as always, like a breeze blowing across the lake, making people feel peaceful and comfortable.

Yasushi Aragaki was observing the interaction between Saye Tsunoda and Maki Takehara from the side. He could detect that the atmosphere was a little subtle at the moment, but there was not much embarrassment in his heart.

Aragaki Jing smiled and suggested: "Then, let's go to the study meeting together?"

Saya Tsunoda didn't say anything, just glanced at Takehara Maki lightly, and then nodded.

Maki Takehara had already made her decision, so naturally she had no objections.

The three of them walked towards the station together, and the sun shone on them through the gaps in the leaves, forming mottled light and shadow.

Their shadows are intertwined, seemingly harmonious but with an undercurrent.

When they arrived at Aragaki's house, Aragaki was about to reach out and open the door.

However, Takehara Maki suddenly took a step forward. Under the gaze of the other two people, he naturally stretched out his hand and opened the door with his fingerprint.

Maki Takehara is not without a temper.

This time, she took the lead.

To Saya Tsunoda, this move seemed like a silent provocation.

Saya Tsunoda's eyes narrowed slightly, with a trace of displeasure flashing in her eyes.

I can't even open the fingerprint lock at Aragaki-kun's house.

Why, why can you open it?

Saya Tsunoda originally thought that her relationship with Yasu Aragaki was special. So what if Takehara Maki had a good impression of Yasu Aragaki?

It's nothing but a defeat.

But now it seems that is not the case.

The fact that Aragaki Yasushi's door was able to be opened by Takehara Maki, but he could not open it, seemed to mean that to some extent, their relationship was closer.

An inexplicable jealousy and uneasiness surged in Saya Tsunoda's heart, but she quickly suppressed these emotions.

She didn't want to show her vulnerability at this time, especially in front of Takehara Maki.

Saya Tsunoda took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

She raised her chin slightly, glanced at Takehara Maki faintly, and then followed them into Yasushi Aragaki's home.

The atmosphere at home was a little subtle. The three of them changed their shoes silently, and Saya Tsunoda and Maki Takehara sat on the sofa in the living room.

Aragaki Jing went to prepare fruit drinks for them.

Snowball, who was lying on the sofa in the living room, ran towards her happily after seeing Takehara Maki's arrival.

Lying on Takehara Maki's legs wrapped in black stockings, enjoying her touch.

Saya Tsunoda glanced bitterly at Snowball lying on Maki Takehara's lap.

Suddenly, she noticed that the pair of black stockings looked familiar.

I should have seen it somewhere.

Saya Tsunoda's vision wandered.

"Ok?"

Saya Tsunoda's eyes stayed next to the changing room.

She seemed to understand why she could feel that these black silk stockings were somewhat familiar.

She seemed to have seen this pair of black silk stockings in the changing room.

It must have been bought for her by Yasushi Aragaki.

This texture and gloss are absolutely right.

Saya Tsunoda became even more angry.

Not long after, Yasushi Aragaki prepared drinks for them and put them on the coffee table, but neither Saya Tsunoda nor Maki Takehara moved.

Takehara Maki was still stroking Snowball intently. The snow-white cat closed its eyes and enjoyed her caress. It was in sharp contrast with the black stockings on her legs, making people unable to take their eyes away.

Takehara Maki said nothing, as if everything around him had nothing to do with it. There is only Snowball in her world and no one else exists.

After a moment of silence, Saye Tsunoda said, "Aragaki-kun, how could Takehara-san open the security door of your home."

There was a hint of questioning in her tone, as if she wanted to get an explanation from Yasushi Aragaki.

Aragaki Yasushi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Saya Tsunoda not to attack Takehara Maki, but to find a breakthrough from himself.

Aragaki Jing smiled and started to explain, "Maki lives downstairs and often comes to visit. Sometimes I don't have time to take care of Snowball, so I ask her to help."

"So, I gave her my fingerprints."

Aragaki Jing's voice was calm, as if this was just a small matter.

However, for Saya Tsunoda, this is an extremely important thing. There was a hint of jealousy and uneasiness in her heart, but she quickly suppressed these emotions.

"Okay, let's start the study session."

Saya Tsunoda looked at Yasu Aragaki. She had not forgotten that the main purpose of today was to study.

"If you want to study, let's go to the study room."

Aragaki Jing nodded and replied.

After Maki Takehara heard this, she gently stroked Snowball, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

She stood up and walked deftly towards the study.

Seeing this, Saye Tsunoda immediately followed.

The three of them walked into the study, and the atmosphere in the study immediately became quiet and solemn.

They sat down at a large desk and prepared to start today's study session.

Saya Tsunoda's mood gradually calmed down. She knew that this was a rare opportunity. After all, Takehara Maki was among the top five in the school. Being able to study with her was something she could not do before.

And there is Aragaki Yasushi studying with him.

With this idea in mind, Saya Tsunoda decided to devote herself to studying and not let herself be disturbed by other emotions.

Takehara Maki opened the textbook and began to explain in detail.

Saya Tsunoda listened very carefully, took notes from time to time, and was completely immersed in the atmosphere of learning.

Aragaki Yasushi also took this opportunity to start tutoring hard.

Yasushi Aragaki discovered that after wearing the high-quality label [Diligence can make up for weakness], his learning ability increased significantly, and the effect was much better than before.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the study became more harmonious.

The tit-for-tat confrontation between Takehara Maki and Tsunoda Saya is no longer there.
