So shy (〃﹏〃)

Xingyue: What kind of nonsense is forming a girl band?! That’s just wasting youth! (ﾉ｀⊿´)ﾉ

Xingyue decisively selected A.

“A club?” Ruoxi frowned.

“Mm-hmm.” Xingyue nodded.

“Can that really help people? Isn’t it just changing the location?” Ruoxi didn’t understand why Xingyue was so confident.

“Don’t worry about that now. Just follow my arrangements tomorrow.”

Xingyue said, hands on her hips.

****

The next day.

Morning light streamed through the glass walls of the hallway, gilding the sign on the door: “Starlight Society.”

“Starlight Society?”

Ruoxi tilted her head, staring at the plaque.

“How is it? Isn’t it a great name~?” Xingyue said beside her.

This was the club Xingyue had just applied to establish at school today.

Though the room was hastily converted from a storage closet, and the only thing outside was a whiteboard for collecting requests,
it was still an official club dedicated to fulfilling students’ requests.

As for the name…

“This… isn’t this just a combination of our two names?” Ruoxi scratched her head.

“The name doesn’t matter. It’s the purpose that counts.”

Xingyue said.

Xingyue: Okay, fine, I just didn’t feel like thinking of a name… (￣￢￣*)

Honestly, the whole process of setting up a club already gave Xingyue a headache. She’d come up with this name in five seconds flat.

…

Soon, Xingyue and Ruoxi settled into the clubroom, sitting at their posts and waiting for clients.

The setup was simple—a long table and two chairs.

Xingyue and Ruoxi sat stiffly like news anchors on a broadcast.

“Little Xingyue… what if no one comes? Or what if they ask for something I can’t handle?”

Though usually socially bold, Ruoxi was always the one initiating things.

Being passive for once… she felt oddly uneasy (´-﹏-`；)

“Don’t worry at all. There’s never a shortage of people who need help in this world.” Xingyue said, completely unfazed.

And just as she predicted—

“Knock knock knock…”

The clubroom door was tapped.

“Welcome to the Starlight Society! Whether you need help fixing a washing machine, writing a love letter, or anything else under the sun—you can count on me!”

Ruoxi shot up, blurting out the lines she’d rehearsed in her head countless times.

“Stop!” Xingyue facepalmed.

“W-What’s wrong?! Did I mess up?!” Ruoxi asked nervously.

“At least open the door first!”

“…Oh…”

Ruoxi blushed and went to open it.

****

“W-Waaah… my cat ran away yesterday… can you help me find her? QAQ”

A short-haired girl sat across from Xingyue and Ruoxi, submitting her request.

“Leave it to me! I’m the legendary cat-catcher of Morninglight Academy!”

Hearing she could help, Ruoxi instantly perked up.

“B-But please… don’t hurt my cat…” The girl looked a little scared at Ruoxi’s enthusiastic expression.

Soon, the two left.

“Phew… finally gone… (´-﹏-`；)”

Xingyue slumped onto the table, turning into a soft, squishy little loli blob.

Truth was, everything so far had been under Xingyue’s control.

Why, you ask?

“Knock knock knock…”

The door knocked again.

“Come in.” Xingyue said weakly.

The elegant blue-haired girl walked in.

“I saw them leave just now. Looks like your plan worked perfectly, Xingyue.”

Xisitina smiled, stepping forward and taking the seat beside Xingyue.

That’s right—the short-haired girl earlier was a plant, a ringer Xingyue had asked Xisitina to bring.

After all, a newly formed club wouldn’t get real requests this quickly…

“But… will this really help Senior Ruoxi?” Xisitina pondered.

“Relax, Tina. This is just to help Ruoxi get used to it. She always goes overboard. Everything needs gradual progress, right?”

Xingyue yawned.

For now, all she had to do was wait here until Ruoxi came back from her mission.

“Hehe, fair point… By the way, Xingyue, want to come with me to—”

Before Xisitina could finish, the door suddenly swung open.

“Hello! Can I submit a request here?”

A girl with ashen-brown hair stepped in.

“I—I—cough cough!”

She seemed extremely anxious, even coughing mid-sentence.

“Are you okay? Don’t rush. Take your time.”
Xingyue poured a glass of water for the ashen-haired girl.

…

“Xingyue…?”

“You?!”

When they sat across from each other, both Xingyue and the girl recognized the other instantly.

Yes—this was the soft-spoken girl Xingyue had originally wanted to choose as her seatmate—the one who sat near the teacher’s desk: Ouyang Momomo.

“So it’s Momomo! What can I help you with?” Xingyue asked with a smile.

“Umm…”

Momomo glanced nervously at Xisitina’s cold, elegant expression, then quickly looked back at Xingyue. “There’s been strange noises in my attic lately… I’m so scared. Can you… come with me, Xingyue?”

“An attic?”

Xingyue tilted her head.

What a weird request…

“Specifically—” Xingyue was about to ask more.

But just then—

“No way.”

The young lady beside her suddenly spoke up.

“Xingyue already promised to go with me to the new Western restaurant on the culture street this afternoon. She has no time for your request.” Xisitina said, looping her arm through Xingyue’s.

Then she smiled at the white-haired loli. “Right, Xingyue?”

“Ah?” Xingyue blinked.

When did I ever agree to that?!

Just then—

[Decision Time!]

[A. The request comes first! Go with Momomo to her attic.]

[B. Reject the request. Stay with Xisitina. Don’t go anywhere—just wait here for Ruoxi to return.]

[Note: Xisitina’s Affection has exceeded 100. Choosing incorrectly will not trigger a bad ending, but will unlock a CG.]

Xingyue: ……Eh? (°ー°〃)?

Wait, it’s just a small request.

Why is there a CG involved now?!

Xingyue decided—
