Chapter 104

Natsume Chikage’s mood at this moment also carried a trace of imperceptible excitement.

Just a short while ago, he finally finished “The Devotion of Suspect X”.

He calculated that after the club activity ended, he would immediately go to print the manuscript and then head to the publishing house.

At this moment.

Natsume Chikage, Saionji Nanase, and Yukimura Suzune all stood up, carrying their schoolbags, and headed to the Collection Force together.

When they arrived at the clubroom, they found that Fujiwara Aoi was already waiting inside.

“Everyone, good noon!” Fujiwara Aoi greeted energetically.

After greeting each other, they sat around the long table and took out their bento boxes.

Saionji Nanase asked curiously.

“Fujiwara-san, how did you arrive at the club faster than us?”

Fujiwara Aoi laughed.

“Because our Class D is closer to the stairs on the other side, it’s actually faster to come here.”

She took a sip of water and continued to ask.

“By the way, for the club activity later, what exactly are we going to do?”

Saionji Nanase heard this, put down her chopsticks, put her hands in fists in front of her chest, and began to explain with bright eyes.

“This is how I planned it, a complete Collection Force activity can be divided into several steps.”

“First, we need to find and determine something worth collecting and recording, and evaluate whether it has the value to be written in the Collection Force journal.”

“Second, negotiate with relevant personnel to ask and collect information and stories related to it.”

“Then, record and photograph the whole process to facilitate subsequent organization and supplementation of details.”

“We have four people now, we can group into two, act separately, and improve efficiency.”

“Finally, everyone summarizes the collected materials, and organizes, writes, and polishes them together.”

“What do you think of this?”

After she finished speaking, her gaze swept over the other three.

Natsume Chikage nodded in agreement.

“A very clear process, I have no problem.”

Fujiwara Aoi also echoed with a smile.

“Mm-hmm, I think this arrangement is very good, I have no opinion either.”

Yukimura Suzune thought for a moment and nodded.

“Sure, let’s do as Nanase said.”

A joyful smile bloomed on Saionji Nanase’s face.

“Alright! After we finish lunch, and Fujiwara-san returns from the Track and Field Force, let’s officially start our first Collection Force club activity!”

Fujiwara Aoi asked:

“By the way.”

“Our first club activity is about that hundred-year-old cherry blossom tree, right?”

Saionji Nanase nodded, her eyes shining.

“Mm-hmm!”

“After all, the hundred-year-old cherry blossom tree of the private Moonlight Academy is a major symbol of the school.”

“And, it seems no one has done a literature survey on ‘whether confessing under the hundred-year-old cherry blossom tree can lead to growing old together’.”

Natsume Chikage pondered:

“In that case, we are the first to do this kind of survey.”

Saionji Nanase confirmed with a smile.

“Yes.”

“If we can successfully achieve results this time, perhaps we can use this ‘track record’ to apply for new club equipment from the school.”

Fujiwara Aoi was immediately full of motivation.

“I’m fired up!”

As she spoke, she shoveled a large mouthful of rice into her mouth.

Yukimura Suzune put down her chopsticks and asked:

“Since the first theme has been determined.”

“Then what are everyone’s thoughts on the grouping and actions later?”

Fujiwara Aoi immediately raised her hand, a lively smile blooming on her face.

“This time I want to be in a group with Natsume-kun!”

“And my phone was just replaced not long ago, I was just worrying about having no place to use the camera function.”

“When we negotiate and collect information later, leave the photography task to me!”

Yukimura Suzune continued calmly.

“Sure.”

“Then I’ll be in a group with Nanase.”

Saionji Nanase laughed happily.

“Mm-hmm! Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since I acted with Suzune!”

Yukimura Suzune thought and said:

“Today is Saturday, although we students have no classes in the afternoon...”

“But many teachers are not like us, they still have many things to be busy with, and won’t leave school so early.”

“So after lunch, we can rest in the clubroom first, and after Fujiwara-san returns, we will start the club activity.”

Fujiwara Aoi was a bit confused.

“Why won’t the teachers leave early?”

Yukimura Suzune explained:

“Because our school attaches great importance to club activities.”

“And most teachers in the school serve as advisors for clubs.”

“So before the students completely leave the school, they have to take care of the supervision responsibility, usually patrolling occasionally, and won’t leave early.”

Natsume Chikage was in a very good mood at this moment.

Because he himself needed to collect special equipment, and that hundred-year-old cherry blossom tree was a piece of special equipment.

Now that he could investigate with them, perhaps he could find a breakthrough to obtain it.

“Since that’s the case, it seems we can start with the teachers.”

Saionji Nanase nodded with a smile.

“I think the teachers must know some stories about the hundred-year-old cherry blossom tree, maybe there are even relevant records.”

Soon, lunch ended.

Fujiwara Aoi said goodbye to everyone in a hurry and rushed back to the Track and Field Force to report.

Natsume Chikage and the others stayed in the clubroom to rest.

Yukimura Suzune sat quietly in her chair, immersed in the literary book in her hand.

Saionji Nanase carefully took out some strange-shaped stones and small ornaments from her schoolbag and arranged them carefully on the shelf.

Natsume Chikage had already finished “The Devotion of Suspect X” and had just obtained a new attribute point, the pressure on him seemed to have been lifted by more than half.

Coupled with the feeling of fullness and relaxation in the afternoon, he felt a bit sleepy.

April is the season of the transition between spring and summer.

The temperature is cool and pleasant, not yet stained with the heat of midsummer.

A breeze from outside the window slipped into the clubroom, quietly lifting a corner of the curtain, letting it sway gently.

Time, temperature, light... everything created the lazy atmosphere of a nap just right.

Natsume Chikage, who was already sleepy, leaned on the sofa, and before long, he sank into a dream.

Saionji Nanase noticed this scene first.

Her extremely lively eyes were a bit dazed at this moment.
