The dinner is finally over—

Of course, a low-ranking member like Yayoi Ikeda could not have gone first, and she could only think about her own affairs after respectfully seeing off all the seniors present.

However, as the saying goes, only by suffering from hardship can you become a superior person.

This kind of small thing, although insignificant, is also one of the ways to make one's own evaluation higher.

With his usual humble smile and a meaningful pat on his shoulder, as if he was using this small gesture to imply that he was very good, Ikeda glanced at the hands of his watch again, and sure enough, it was midnight.

This meant that in two or three hours, the business of the Charm would be over, and it also meant that she had not much free time at her disposal.

Yayoi Ikeda didn't want to waste time.

After getting into the car, he bluntly ordered the secretary sitting in the driver's seat to drive to the ghost.

The male secretary, who wore a standard three-seven hairstyle and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and looked quite meticulous in his face, couldn't help but show a little surprise after hearing this, and directly raised his head and peeked into the rearview mirror at Yayoi Ikeda, who gently looked sideways out of the car window.

"Do you still need to go to the charm at such a late hour?"

Determined to do so, Yayoi Ikeda would not respond to this question, but withdrew his gaze from the view outside the window and looked in the rearview mirror directly into the secretary's eyes.

- Just go.

The cold and emotionless amber eyes seemed to imply that he didn't need to dictate to the lifestyle she had decided, so the secretary consciously lowered his eyes and said no more, looked at his nose and nose, and directly started the engine and stepped on the accelerator, and drove quickly towards the location of the ghost in his memory...... Because he had driven the route to the charm more than 100 times, the secretary was naturally very handy now, and soon drove the car into Kabukicho, and then after a while, the unique signature of the kung fu charm was already close in front of him.

In keeping with Ikeda's long-standing habit, the secretary took it upon himself to park the car in an inconspicuous corner and quickly unbuckle his seat belt and get out of the car.

In this way, he personally opened the door for Yayoi Ikeda, who was sitting in the back of the carriage.

Yayoi Ikeda, on the other hand, was looking at the colorful and somewhat dazzling neon lights outside the car, not only sighing thoughtfully, but also lowering his eyes lightly, looking at his outfit and smiling helplessly, knowing that his serious and serious dress was somewhat out of place with the frivolous and drunken Kabukicho.

But—

Even if it looks nondescript, what's the matter?

Calmly stepping out of the open door, Ikeda casually glanced at the secretary, who was still holding on to the door motionless.

"Come pick me up in two hours. ”

The dutiful secretary looked like he wanted to say something more after hearing this, but when he raised his eyes and noticed that Yayoi Ikeda, who had smoothed out the folds of his skirt, was not paying attention to him, and was obviously only thinking about meeting Tsukikawa, he hesitated to close his mouth, gently closed the car door, and stood there silently watching Ikeda Yayoi go further and further...... He wanted to say that staying here for two hours would affect tomorrow's work, but he also knew that Ikeda was unlikely to change his mind since he planned to go to Demon.

Since the other party has already made it clear that two hours is definitely two hours, and it will not leave early, nor will it exceed the scheduled two hours.

What else do you say?

He's just a little secretary.

It wasn't until Yayoi Ikeda's back disappeared into the door of the shop that the secretary returned to the cab. Originally, he should have followed Ikeda Yayoi with him, after all, this was the only way to prevent any emergencies from being reported back in time.

But—

The secretary sighed secretly.

Yayoi Ikeda does not allow him to accompany him during this private time that should not involve business, and she does not welcome male customers.

……

All in all, the situation today is similar to what Ikeda Yayoi imagined, and sure enough, the last two days near the end of the month are always so lively as if the store has just opened, and she can hear the movement inside just by standing at the door of the store, and there is an illusion that it is still seven or eight o'clock- After all, according to the situation of the charm itself, once it exceeds midnight, it is almost the end of the busy period, even if the number of people is still considerable, it is certainly not as good as the atmosphere of the golden hour, and the closer you get to the closing time, the more calm the store will become.

Even if there are many customers who choose this time to visit for the sake of purity, it is only a small number, and it is definitely less than the number of departures.

So it's good to be able to reserve more than half of the seats at this time.

But today is a special day after all-

Obviously, the time has mercilessly surpassed half past zero, and is approaching one o'clock minute by minute, and the number of guests present should be reduced by a part, but the excitement of the charm at this time is no less than the golden hour of seven or eight o'clock, and it feels like it is still full.

Are these people so idle?

Yayoi Ikeda, who has been busy until now, couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

But it's lively, of course, there are still empty places, although there are only a few, but it won't make her have to go home because she has nowhere to sit.

The first thing you see after stepping into the charm is of course the PR that is neatly lined up on both sides of the door, because there are no customers to accompany or the guests who have named themselves have gone back satisfied, so they are here to welcome new guests and be responsible for standing up to receive them - because the charm is as busy as the rush hour at this time, the public relations team standing at the door is certainly not as spectacular as when the store first opened, and the PR on both sides of the store is directly lined up to the end of the store.

However, even if the public relations that can be seen now is only about five or six people, all of them have good temperament and appearance, which is pleasing to the eye.

Yayoi Ikeda didn't take it to heart.

After all, there are so many customers in the store, and there will definitely be fewer free PR opportunities, right?

It's better to say that there are still five or six PR free now, which is a bit unexpected for her.

The PR who was waiting at the door, of course, spotted Yayoi Ikeda walking slowly in the next moment, so they all raised a sincere smile or a warm or pure smile, put their right hand on their hearts, and they performed a beautiful salute in unison, and all kinds of female voices sounded at the same time.

"Welcome to the Charm—"

Even if there are only a few people, the sound coming from it does not make people feel that the momentum is insufficient, but this well-trained appearance will make people shine.

Immediately after that, in the midst of this group of public relations, a well-behaved public relations officer suddenly walked out, and looking at her appearance, she should know Yayoi Ikeda who suddenly visited in front of her, and the other public relations would certainly not choose to get involved after she stood up, and continued to maintain the previous etiquette and face it with a smile - I saw this female public relations all the way to Ikeda's side, and a clear and sweet voice sounded: "Miss Ikeda, long time no see." With that, she floated behind her with one hand and raised it lightly with the other, and stretched out her bent arm very gentlemanly

"Long time no see. ”

Ikeda, of course, did not ignore the other without politeness, smiled toothlessly, and took advantage of the situation to put his hand on the other's arm.

Then with the leadership of this public relations, he gradually walked into the depths of the charm.

Although the frequency of visiting Tsukikawa is not as frequent as Akiyama Mina or Koshiba Ayaka, Ikeda Yayoi is also an old customer who has been named Tsukikawa for a long time, and her identity is relatively special, not to mention that it is impossible for the public relations who belong to the Tsukikawa faction not to know her, and even the public relations of other factions are impressed by her.

Of course –

The public relations who received her at this moment were undoubtedly subordinate to the Yuechuan faction, after all, the public relations of the Fenghua faction would not deliberately take her away.

- Knowing that she is only here for Yuechuan, how can she be bored?

After taking Yayoi Ikeda respectfully to an empty seat and sitting down, the female publicist who led the way did not leave directly, first glancing at the black dress next door without a trace, and then sat down directly in the opposite position. Looking at Yayoi Ikeda's amber eyes, which seemed to be able to easily penetrate the hearts of others, she suddenly raised her own characteristic smile and chuckled, "I'm sorry, Miss Ikeda, please wait a moment, Tsukikawa-sama will come later...... And this time will accompany you in the future, please forgive me. ”

That's where first-class PR formation comes in.

When the leader of the faction valve has no time to receive other guests, the members of the faction can temporarily take the place to ease the atmosphere on the side of the guests so as not to be embarrassed.

Of course, Ikeda Yayoi has been patronizing Tsukikawa for so long, and she also understands that she can't directly see Tsukikawa at such a busy time, after all, there is no way, who makes so many people like Tsukikawa? But this just means that she has a unique vision, and she directly fell in love with the most popular Tsukikawa at a glance...... When Yayoi Ikeda undeniably raised her brow in agreement, the female publicist, who had been smiling, was visibly relieved, and then summoned the black dress that had been waiting for a long time.

Of course, a well-dedicated female black dress will not have much contact with the guests, nor will she rudely make eye contact with the guests.

After all, they are just black clothes and not PR.

With his eyes down, he placed a small dish with a hot towel on the table, and then left the venue silently.

However, to Ikeda's surprise, less than a minute after the woman left the stage, another woman came along the way.
