Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 Yui Yuigahama

Finally, it was time for club activities. Qianshu Lian took Yukino Yukinoshita and headed to his clubroom first.

The deal with the principal still had its benefits; at the very least, this clubroom was exceptionally good. It wasn't that it was luxurious, but the key was that it was not only large but also quiet, with no boisterous clubs nearby.

On the way, he also encountered Hachiman Hikigaya, who was also heading to a clubroom, and a certain 'dumpling' following Hachiman Hikigaya.

Yui Yuigahama!

Qianshu Lian hadn't expected them to connect again. After all, with his help, her dog hadn't had any problems.

After all, if he wanted Hachiman Hikigaya to attend school normally at the start of the semester, there was nothing simpler than directly calculating from the source.

Ahem, in any case, he didn't know what her purpose was, but since she had come, Qianshu Lian had no intention of being unwelcoming.

The four chatted with each other as they slowly walked to the clubroom door. Qianshu Lian took out the clubroom key provided by the student council and opened the room.

"It's quite big, and it seems to have been cleaned already. I wonder if another club used it before, or if someone specifically cleaned it?"

Hachiman Hikigaya surveyed the clubroom. It was so clean and tidy, it was almost out of place.

"After all, I directly communicated with the principal. At that time, the principal told me he would have someone help clean it up. Now it seems it's very well cleaned!"

Qianshu Lian walked to the window sill and touched it. Not a speck of dust stuck to his finger, and he couldn't help but praise it.

It seemed the person the principal sent to clean was indeed quite diligent, leaving no dust behind.

"Damn capitalism! I can smell the corruption just by hearing it!" Hachiman Hikigaya grumbled as he sat down on a bench in the clubroom.

"You're enjoying the preferential treatment of capitalism now, at least. Don't curse the chef while you're eating, okay!"

Qianshu Lian also retorted, "And this level can't even be called corruption, can it? At the very least, it needs to be decadent, a pool of wine and a forest of meat to be considered corruption!"

"It seems Qianshu-kun is quite clear about the definition of corruption? Could it be that he often tries corruption?" Yukino Yukinoshita deadpanned with precise sarcasm.

Watching the three in front bicker, Yui Yuigahama, who had followed them in, shivered. She didn't know if she should also join in, but her sarcastic skills didn't seem to compare to theirs.

"I haven't tried that kind of corruption, but if it's just spending money, I have tried it!"

Qianshu Lian answered honestly. When he first came to this world and was born, both of his parents had their own professions, but in reality, they could only be considered ordinary middle-class.

Many things were simply out of reach until he obtained more wealth through draws, after which his family's financial situation improved.

From then on, he no longer had to count the quantity of fruit even when eating just one. Although fruit is indeed sold by the piece here, the truly expensive fruits are mainly domestically produced in Japan.

And sometimes, Qianshu Lian wasn't sure why such a small country like Japan had so many different production areas with vastly different prices.

During the period when he first became wealthy, Qianshu Lian had tried many things. Although many things, once you get used to them, are just that, Qianshu Lian is now accustomed to preparing precious ingredients and cooking them himself.

But at the time, their whole family ate very happily, so that could be considered the corruption of capitalism, right?

"That's great. Even if there was really an opportunity for such corruption, Mom and Dad would only take Komachi, right?" Although he spoke enviously, Hachiman Hikigaya's face did not show an envious expression.

This man's will was as firm as ever!

Yukino Yukinoshita also fell silent. She had witnessed the period of his frantic spending in her diary after he had just acquired money.

In short, all valuable and delicious things were offered, and no matter how exquisite the figures or how intricate the machines, everything was brought home.

Honestly, even their family had never tried such frantic spending. Although they weren't without the money to spend, they couldn't endure spending so carelessly.

If it weren't for the fact that his money came too easily and was inexhaustible, he would undoubtedly be a typical example of a nouveau riche quickly squandering his fortune.

"What are you envious of, you guy? I remember you went on a spending spree with me back then, didn't you?"

Qianshu Lian vigorously patted Hachiman Hikigaya's shoulder, making Hachiman Hikigaya wince in pain.

"Can you be gentler? I'm not like you. At that time, I had only known you for a short while. Who knew you'd suddenly drag me to a high-end restaurant to eat!"

Hachiman Hikigaya said, rubbing his shoulder, "But I still have to thank you. That day, you let me pack a portion to take back for Komachi. That was the first time Komachi called me Onii-chan so affectionately~"

"Ewww~~~"

Qianshu Lian pretended to be disgusted and moved away from Hachiman Hikigaya, "You damn sis-con! I couldn't tell before, but now your true colors are showing! Kuroko!"

"What true colors? You've often said that before, but I still don't quite understand!"

Hachiman Hikigaya looked up at Qianshu Lian with a puzzled expression. He truly didn't get it, as this meme hadn't been born in this world yet.

"Ahem—nothing!" Qianshu Lian replied, pretending nothing was amiss.

Yukino Yukinoshita just watched the two silently. Compared to Hachiman Hikigaya, Yukino Yukinoshita was the one who truly understood the meme.

Although Qianshu Lian had not written out the full reason for the meme at once, after occasionally mentioning it in his diary, over many years of piecing things together, there were still some traces that could be put together.

"Um, excuse me—"

Just then, Yui Yuigahama, who had been trembling, finally couldn't help but speak after seeing the three stop talking.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot about you. Excuse me, what is your name? And what can we, the Game Production Club, do for you?"

Although Qianshu Lian already fully knew Yui Yuigahama's identity, he still had to ask as a formality.

"My name is Yui Yuigahama, and I mainly came because I want to join your club!" Yui Yuigahama hesitated for a moment, but still glanced at Hachiman Hikigaya before finally saying.

"Oh~~~"

Yui Yuigahama's gaze naturally did not escape Qianshu Lian's observation, and he also roughly understood her initial intention for coming.
