Chapter 63: Should I Laugh in the Manga Research Club?

Kuze Oto gave Qingshan Li a full hour-long massage.

Midway through, the baseball club manager came to visit him, but she turned her away.

"How do you feel now?" Kuze Oto gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief embroidered with a K.

"I've forgotten my heartbreak; now my heart is filled with an unforgettable teacher-student bond."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. If I become a teacher in the future, and someone asks me during an interview why I want to be a teacher, I'll answer: because when I was young, I met a good teacher named Kuze."

"This is the first time a student has ever said something like this to me; you've moved me." Kuze Oto said without much emotion, "Feel free to come to the infirmary anytime, no need to be polite."

If possible, it's better not to come too often.

People who frequently appear at the respawn point are usually noobs.

"Get some rest." Kuze Oto left.

Qingshan Li, lying face down on the bed, struggled to take out his mobile phone from his pocket.

It was two-thirty, one hour before school ended, and he could no longer use the system to study or get a massage.

The novel draft was in his bookbag, and the bookbag was in the classroom.

For a moment, Qingshan Li realized he had nothing to do.

——Panel

It was like opening his mobile phone to take a glance when bored, knowing full well there was nothing fun on the phone.

【Koshien: 12%】

【Love Daily Life-Mikami Ai, Miyase Yaeko: 84%】

【Brass Band Club: 2%】

【Kendo Gyokuryuki: 30%】

'Baseball' was added to the Special Skills column.

Did both 'Koshien' and 'Love Daily Life' increase by 2% because of what just happened?

Qingshan Li couldn't help but think that if he wrote a novel called 'Waking Up and Reappearing in the Campus Infirmary', perhaps its progress would surpass 'Brass Band Club'.

But that's unlucky, so forget it.

Now that he's quit the Athens Philosophy Research Club, where should he go after school lets out?

The Kendo Club?

Qingshan Li was very interested, because he seemed to have decent kendo talent, and he could gather material along the way.

He had to keep writing the novel no matter what, striving toward the goal of a hundred billion deposits.

Qingshan Li couldn't help but wonder: how about accompanying Ono Mika to the new club?

The Ono Sisters suspected yesterday that he liked Mikami Ai, and today he quit directly—seems like he was kicked out; is there anything better than this to prove his feelings?

Most importantly, with his company, Ono Mika wouldn't feel too awkward joining the new club.

When there were three minutes left before school ended, Qingshan Li bid farewell to Kuze Oto and headed for Class 2-4.

Just as he was about to reach the classroom, the bell rang, and Qingshan Li sent Ono Mika a message, asking her to wait for him in the class.

Today was Tuesday, and he was on duty.

"Classmate Aoyama, you're injured, go back first," said a boy.

"It's precisely because I'm injured that I can't leave; please understand that I don't want to be misunderstood as having the mood of 'intentionally getting injured to avoid duty'!"

"No way!" a girl laughed.

The boy laughed too.

But Qingshan Li had to do the duty no matter what.

The two had Qingshan Li fill out the class journal, namely what classes were held today, how each teacher performed, whether the students listened in class, and so on.

Thank you for your care, but Qingshan Li actually preferred to sweep the floor or wipe the blackboard.

"I've finished writing it; I'll take it directly to the teacher," he said.

"Mm."

"Thanks for your hard work today."

The duty student responsible for writing the journal only needs to write the journal and take it to the office.

Teacher's Office.

"Why is it you, Qingshan, writing the journal?" Akita Shio asked, holding the class journal, unable to help herself.

"I'm on duty today."

"You didn't have classes this afternoon, right?"

"Mm."

"So?"

"What about it?" Qingshan Li asked back.

"Hmm—, forget it." Akita Shio pursed her lips, "Go to club activities, remember to protect yourself."

"Goodbye, Teacher."

Watching Qingshan Li leave, Akita Shio looked at the class journal again.

Fifth period 'English', evaluation: Teacher is conscientious and responsible, students study seriously;

Sixth period 'Information', evaluation: Teacher's class is lively and interesting, students listen actively.

Sighing and shaking her head, Akita Shio put the class journal on the desk.

Qingshan Li moved his arms while going to find Ono Mika, who was in Class 3-4.

Incidentally, Ono Mizuki is in Class 1-4.

Walking on the senior year floor, there were obviously more people who shamelessly refused club activities and stayed in classrooms to study.

Ono Mika, sitting by the window, was also studying seriously.

Qingshan Li walked in, and the seniors who occasionally looked up all scrutinized him with surprise and curiosity.

In Japan, never mind entering a senior classroom, just coming to the senior corridor would make one tremble with fear.

Qingshan Li walked to Ono Mika's side, and lightly knocked on the desktop with a 'thump thump' like knocking on a door.

Ono Mika looked up doubtfully, and upon seeing him, tucked her long hair behind her ear while smiling: "Duty finished?"

Qingshan Li told her the short story "Class Journal: Qingshan Li's Perfunctory Work, Akita Shio's Doubt".

Ono Mika smiled, and reproachfully gave him a light punch.

The two left the classroom and walked to the club building.

"You really quit the Philosophy Research Club?"

"Mm. Mika-nee, which club are you going to?"

"I have two good friends in different clubs, I plan to go check them out."

"Do you have a club you want to go to yourself?" Qingshan Li asked, "With me accompanying you, it doesn't matter which club you go to."

"Nope."

Club building first floor, Manga Research Club.

"Hana, you're here~"

"Mhm~, I'm here~"

Ono Mika hugged intimately with a bob-cut girl.

"Is this little brother-kun?" The bob-cut looked at Qingshan Li.

"Mm, Li, this is my sister's good friend Yasuhara Hanae; this is my little brother, Qingshan Li."

"Not blood-related, damn it!" Yasuhara Hanae vexed, "Otherwise I'd have made a move!"

She's very cute, also very cheerful, likes to joke; really dating her, Qingshan Li feels wouldn't be bad either.

"Senior Yasuhara, hello." Qingshan Li greeted.

"Come come, I'll give you a tour, oh, right, this is for you."

"What's this?" Ono Mika asked.

"Our club's self-published manga magazine, laughing not allowed."

"Hahaha!"

The two looked back at Qingshan Li who was already laughing out loud.

"Ah, sorry." Qingshan Li stopped laughing.

"Our club." Yasuhara Hanae continued walking forward.

Qingshan Li flipped open the magazine, showed Ono Mika a glance, and Ono Mika held back at the last moment before laughing out loud.

"You siblings are really rude!" Yasuhara Hanae clenched fists and set her hips.

"Sorry sorry!" The siblings apologized simultaneously.

The manga magazine's first page is the Manga Research Club all members' self-portraits; as club president, Yasuhara Hanae drew herself as a robot-cat-shaped woman.

This is still the good part.

There are also many people's self-portraits that are simply non-human, not even as good as stick figures.

"Drawn when joining, can't be replaced, hmph~" Yasuhara Hanae set her hips, her small round face puffing up.

"Even as club president you can't change it?" Ono Mika curious.

"Hana, it's not the club president maintaining this rule, but only those who maintain this rule can become the Manga Research Club's club president!"

"Naruto." Qingshan Li said.

"Right right, little brother-kun is also a Naruto fan? I like Raikage and Hinata!"

"."

Someone come, kill her.

"Little brother-kun, don't misunderstand, I just purely like Raikage's loyalty and deep affection, Hinata's gentleness and kindness and spirit of sacrifice."

"Mm." Qingshan Li looking like he doesn't quite believe it.

"But, for material collection, I also read a whole lot of stuff."

"I see!"

For material collection, Qingshan Li understood!

"Want to try drawing? This way, today happens to have visitors too." Yasuhara Hanae led the way in front.

Behind, Ono Mika looked at Qingshan Li doubtfully — what is Naruto?

Qingshan Li pointed at someone's self-portrait on the manga magazine.

Ono Mika looked as if she had seen a little dog defecating.

The self-portrait was: female Naruto and Sasuke.

"Hana, sit beside me. Little Brother, you sit here." Yasuhara Hanae said.

Qingshan Li closed his sketchbook, raised his head, and saw Mikami Ai drawing.

A delicate little face, hands like jade, a classical, icy beauty.

Separated from her by one seat was Miyase Yaeko.

A magnificent bearing, a breathless presence, as if a noble, splendid, and unattainable dream.

"Sit down, Little Brother." Yasuhara Hanae said smugly, as if she had arranged for Qingshan Li to sit between two beautiful girls.
