Chapter 125

Regarding how to spend this hard-won life, Qingshan Li occasionally thinks about it.

He wants to observe this world more closely, remember its appearance, while at the same time, not take everything too seriously.

But once he lives in reality for a few minutes, he forgets his conclusions and goes with the flow.

Wednesday morning, Qingshan Li goes out for a run.

Having just walked out not far, he secretly hides, staring at his own front door.

For a full two hours, he wanders nearby, checking if there are any suspicious persons in the vicinity.

There seem to be none, at least not today, or he didn't discover them.

Before word comes from Miyase Yaeko's side, as the Home Guard, he must be vigilant himself.

The Ono Sisters are irreplaceable; they absolutely must not suffer any harm.

Only when Qingshan Li himself, in the eyes of those around him, is about to become a suspicious person does he step into a light jog back.

Returning home, he pretends to have just returned from running; when he speaks, it's as if nothing special happened yesterday at all.

The Ono Sisters are also as usual.

Qingshan Li knows the matter was caused by his father; the two of them are considering his feelings.

"Miyuki, how's the Choir Club lately?" On the way to school, he asks.

"Fine." Ono Mizuki has the look of someone used to it and able to endure it.

"High school life is only three years; every year is special. If you're not comfortable, it's better to switch to a different lifestyle quickly — at noon I'll accompany you to visit other clubs?" Qingshan Li proposes.

Ono Mika recalls him accompanying her to visit clubs back then.

"Brother, I understand your wish for me and my sister to be happy, but have you thought about how people in other clubs would look at me if I suddenly quit a club in May? After quitting, things would only get worse."

Entirely possible.

"Why don't we just start a club ourselves?" Qingshan Li thinks aloud.

"A club formed by a family? A playing-house club?" Ono Mika laughs.

"Then I'll play the child who has someone serve them even when going to the toilet!" Ono Mizuki immediately claims the role.

"I'll play the elementary school daughter." Ono Mika joins in the fun too.

"In that case, I'll play the big brother, okay? You have to listen to big brother~"

"Eww~~, so perverted!" Ono Mizuki senses the big brother's malice.

Arriving at school, the two naturally separate from him.

They have their own small circle; most importantly, the two feel that if they stay, it would affect Kobayashi Shiki, Aizawa Jun, and the others chatting.

Just like laws constrain criminal behavior.

In their eyes, this group of boys is indeed committing crimes every single moment.

"Morning, Qingshan. Today you definitely woke up to your little sister's call too, right?" Kobayashi Shiki starts committing crimes.

"According to regulations, it should be straddling you." Aizawa Jun follows close behind.

"Do you think I'm a rom-com male lead? The one who wakes me up every day is my sister!"

"Damn it!"

"I never dared say it, but actually Mika-nee is more beautiful in my heart, Qingshan."

Qingshan Li becomes criminal number three, but he's comparatively simple; unlike those two who are perverted, he just genuinely kills people.

"Qing Shan Jun, good morning, how's your arm?" He runs into the female manager at the shoe cabinet.

"Still hurts a little." This is a necessary lie.

"Rest more, everyone's looking forward to your return~"

Qingshan Li decides to go see Teacher Kuze Oto once more when Koshien starts, to make himself unable to play.

Having a system, evaluating clubs and playing practice matches is fine, but he doesn't want to rely on cheating to bully people who pour out sweat and effort.

The Baseball Club has been working hard lately, especially the regular players, probably because they don't want to be replaced by him.

Of course, if he normally trains with the system and reaches the corresponding level, that wouldn't count as bullying.

In short, depends on his mood; if he feels it's bullying he won't use it, if he doesn't care he'll use it; there's no particularly noble reason.

Because he arrived early — just as early as the sports clubs that need morning practice — before homeroom starts, Qingshan Li self-studies for a while.

Morning classes end, after eating lunch at noon, Qingshan Li goes to the Sunny Band Club.

"Little Brother, heard from Mumi that thanks to your tutoring, the evening cram school math quiz improved by 5 points!" Agatsuma Haruka says.

That might just be a difference in test difficulty, or luck.

He definitely can't say that out loud.

"Good as long as it works." Qingshan Li nods, "The drummer matter I'll handle; seniors, you train with peace of mind, wait for her return."

The Sunny Band Club falls into about a second of silence.

Did I speak too arrogantly?

After all, before his eyes are 3 (Bass Sakurako), 21 (Ono Mika), 51 (Agatsuma Haruka who calls herself one point less than 50), Japanese 90+ and all others passing (F·Rino).

". I have inspiration." F·Rino says.

You again?!

— Look at her, her brain works better than yours, what do you need a system for!

"Idle chat ends here." Qingshan Li takes out his mobile phone, taps the camera button, "Songs all chosen? Sing one run-through for me to hear; if I can sing along with the rhythm, you pass."

"Oh? Teasing a man? I like this test." Bass Sakurako undoes the second button of her shirt.

The first one was already undone earlier because of the heat.

White like the blank spaces of a manga, heart-pounding like the blank page in a manga after the heroine confesses to the hero.

"Then I'll work hard too!" Agatsuma Haruka starts rolling up her skirt.

The skirts are getting shorter and shorter; it wouldn't be surprising to see underwear at any moment.

"Hah~" F·Rino took a deep breath, slightly adjusting the position of the guitar at her chest, and so the scene became the chest on the guitar.

Qingshan Li: "."

"This is what they came up with." Ono Mika introduced it with some embarrassment. ". A method to attract the audience."

"Ono Mihana, what about yours?" Qingshan Li pointed his mobile phone at Ono Mika, his face dead serious.

"Eh?"

"During the time I wasn't here, were you the only one who didn't make an effort, Ono Mihana?"

". Li?" Ono Mika's tone sounded as if Qingshan Li had switched personalities.

"As a manager, I cannot tolerate this!"

"You're about to become a real professional manager." Ono Mika commented.

After joking around for a while, Qingshan Li put away his mobile phone, just preparing to delete the segment he had just recorded.

"Rino, grab him! Don't let him destroy the evidence!" Agatsuma Haruka shouted.

F·Rino hugged Qingshan Li's arm along with the guitar, all of it, into her arms.

"What are you doing?" Qingshan Li switched the mobile phone to his other hand, holding it up high.

"The sleazy manager's true colors, the evidence that he even sexually harasses his own sister, I won't let you delete it! Sakurako, snatch his mobile phone!" Agatsuma Haruka ordered once again.

"Leave it to me!" Bass Sakurako is very tall.

She approached confidently, tiptoeing, yet discovered she still couldn't reach Qingshan Li's raised hand.

This man's physique is just too good.

"What I want to delete are your indecent photos!" Qingshan Li swore, these were his true feelings.

"Hey!" Bass Sakurako pressed close to him, jumping up lightly.

Qingshan Li swung his arm to dodge.

"Hey!" It's not, she jumped again.

Apologies, Kobayashi, Aizawa, my life is indeed a slightly erotic youth romantic comedy.
