Hey minna-san! Here's the next chapter. I'm very sorry for the delay in one month plus! Previously my computer was infected with VIRUS and I was facing exam before long. I have finished chapter 20 long before my pc was infected with virus and so as a bonus, I update chapter 21 as well.
As for the review, you can review both if you have the time or perhaps one of the two. I'll appreciate any feedback! Thanks!
CHAPTER 21—CLICK!
"Did you hear what the fourth and fifth group up to?" Kentarou asked his team members.
"Fourth and fifth group?"
"Yea… they combined their group and swept the hall. I heard that they planned to do 'Haunted House'." Kentarou said.
"Is that true Minami-kun? This will be fun dane. I want to go dane."
"Yanagizawa, this is not the time to have fun. We have not decided what we want to do yet. Sigh, without realizing the others are one step ahead of us."
"In that case, they dominate the game section isn't it?" Mori said.
"You could say so… therefore we must do something that is simpler but able to earn more. What could that be…?" Kentarou shook his head stressfully.
"Karaoke contest dane! We can organize a singing competition dane. They have to pay money to join and winner takes home prize dane."
"It's not cheap to rent a karaoke set and we still need to prepare the prize. If it's not attractive enough, there will be very few contestants. This competition is more to our disadvantage." Yuushi explains the weak points in this suggestion.
"It's not all THAT bad." Fuji's blue eyes opened.
"What? Fuji-kun you have an idea?" Minami asked eagerly.
"We can rent a set of audio system. Instead of doing a karaoke competition, I suggest we do song dedication. Remember those chocolates during Valentine's? It means that students and everyone else like to send messages through a third party. Plus, song dedication is more to a service than a product. As long as we do it right, there won't be any complaint."
"Wow, Fuji-senpai that is a smashing idea!" Mori is in awe.
"Thank you. I only think about it when Yanagizawa mentioned karaoke competition and those Valentine's Dedication."
"Hm… I think its brilliant too, Fuji-KUN."
"Really? Thanks, Oshitari-KUN."
"Well, if there's no other better suggestion we'll stick to this." Yuushi closes his notebook with a sharp snap..
"But Oshitari-kun, what about the audio system? Where can we find shops that rent them out? And what about surveying shops for the cheapest deal?"
"Minami-kun, leave them to me. I know some people who can arrange them for half of our budget."
"What! That cheap?"
"Sure. Or else why do you think human needs connection?" Yuushi took off his spectacle and walks back to his class.
"Sigh that is so Hyotei-like …" Mori grumbles to himself.

"My lunchtime is very precious! Let's decide this quickly!" Shishido said when he was called to join their discussion during lunch break.
"MY lunch break is also precious… I don't want to spend it with people like you." Momo said.
"What do you—"
"Alright Shishido-kun, Momoshiro-kun. Let's start with some suggestion. I received news that the hall had been taken, so we can forget about doing something big." Touji told them.
"The hall taken? By who?" Nomura asked.
"By your buddies Kaneda and Yuuta. To be straight, it's taken by group four and five."
"Hey, did you hear that?" Shishido interrupts them.
"Hear what?" Momo stared at him.
"Hear the clicking sound! Is it just me? I thought I heard it in my class, even in bathroom and now it's here. It's soft but you can hear it!"
"Sorry, we hear nothing." Touji said.
"Yeah… I didn't hear anything either." Nomura agreed.
"I even heard it in my dream!" Shishido said nervously.
"So what are we going to do now?" Kamio asked, ignoring Shishido and going back to the topic.
"I know! I know! Let's open a fast food restaurant. The menu would be burgers, fries, nuggets, fried chickens and drinks." Momo suggested.
"Can you be serious for a minute?" Shishido said irritatingly. Finally he's back to himself.
"What do you mean? I am serious!"
"Wait… this is not a bad idea except that it can't be a fast food restaurant. We can turn it into a café with snacks and stuffs." Kamio said.
"Why not fast food restaurant?"
"Momoshiro, use your brain. Are you going to fry chicken and make burgers there? Not only the place will be a mess but it will cost a lot! Where are you going to get the cooking utensils and all?"
"Kamio, you can say it properly!" Momo shouted.
"I DID say them properly! Were you even listening? I—"
"Right. Stop there. So… hm… we can come up with light snacks like all types of sandwiches, pancakes, fries, nuggets and drinks." The light dawns on Touji.
"Hey, you said we can't have fried stuffs."
"Momoshiro-kun, I… I have a deep fryer that runs using electricity. It won't cause problem… it's not big therefore we can only fry small items like nuggets, sausages, fish balls and fries." Nomura said in a rather shaky voice. He's a timid person as usual.
"Really? Great! So cooking problem settled. What about the plates and cups?"
"As for that, just use paper plate and plastic cutleries. As for drinks, use polystyrene cups. They can stand both hot and cold drinks." Shishido finally came up with something useful.
"But… the hall is taken, where can we open our café?" Kamio look at the others.
"Remember what the head dorm said? Classrooms are free. We can use them… only that there will be lots of work in arranging the furnitures. I can get the table cloths from my uncle's restaurant. I'm sure he won't mind lending it to us for one day as long as we don't spoil it. I'll clean them before returning to him." Touji jots them down on the paper as a reminder.
"Okay, since everything is confirmed, now let us divide the job." Touji scribbled a few different tasks for everyone.

After class, behind the school building …
"Fsssh Inui-senpai, why do you call me out?"
"Kaidoh, I know that -click click click- you want to practice tennis."
"Senpai, what is that sound? Fsssh."
"What sound? I don't –click- hear anything."
"But I heard some clicking sound."
"Are you hearing things?" Inui asked in a puzzled manner (A/N: What good act)
"No, I am quite certain I heard it… Fsssh. There it goes again. A soft clicking sound."
"Kaidoh, don't bother about that sound. I know you want to –click- practice tennis but due to this Entrepreneur's Day you are –click- unable to do so. Here, take this menu and try it. It can –click- help you to maximize your potential even when you are having a discussion."
"Fsssh. Senpai, why are you helping me?"
"No Kaidoh. It's you that –click- gave me great help."
"Huh?"
"Don't –click- worry about it. I have to get going now."
Kaidoh's thought is so engaged in that clicking sound that he did not pay much attention to what Inui said. What is it? Why Inui-senpai did not hear it? Is his ears playing trick on him? This is weird…

In a secluded corner of the school…
"Agent 001, I am sorry. Unable to take Sengoku and Mizuki-san's pictures. I hardly see them."
"It's alright Agent 002. I'll take care of that. Whose pictures did you get?"
"Kentarou, Yanagizawa, Kawamura, Yuuta, Muromachi, Hiyoshi, Shishido and Ichimura." Atsushi answered.
"Good enough. We still have time. I hope you can try to get Ohtori's picture."
"I'll try my best."
"Good. Where's Agent 004 and 005?" Inui asked.
"No idea. Still busy with their job I guess."
"Agent 003, what about you?"
"Hai, I have … -yawn- Tezuka, Tachibana, Nitobe, Kabaji and Momoshiro."
"Good pictures you have there, Agent 003. But there are still a number of them not taken. Pictures taken under unnoticed condition are the best. They worth a lot more than you can ever imagine."
Meanwhile… as they are having a secret meeting, Agent 004 is working hard.
"Akira can you um, -click- lend me your mathematics text book? I forgot mine."
"Sakurai, did you hear a clicking sound?"
"Nope. What -click- sound?"
"There is goes again! Just like Shishido said, it's a soft clicking sound but you really can hear it."
"Hahaha must be your –click- imagination Akira."
"No, I really do hear it!"
"No kidding. Where's -click- Shinji?"
"I heard it! Did it come from you, Sakurai?"
"What? How can it –click- possibly be?"
"What's your hand doing?"
"Can't you see? I'm holding my –click- school bag… Oh, I see Shinji. Bye –click- Akira."
"Hey, your math book—"But Sakurai is already out of sight.
"How weird…" Kamio shook his head and walks back to his desk.
So how's Agent 005 doing? Let's peep at him…
In class 3-C
"Ano… Kikumaru-senpai… um, do you –click- know where Echizen-kun is desu?"
"Ah-nyaaa? What's that weird sound?"
"What -click- weird sound desu?"
"I just heard it! Something like "click""
"No… I didn't –click- hear anything, senpai desu."
"Are you sure? Ah, the sound is there again!"
"But I hear –click- nothing desu… is it your imagination –click- senpai?"
"Can't be my imagination…" Kikumaru is busy searching for the source of the sound. It's soft therefore difficult to look for it.
"Ah… Kikumaru-senpai, I won't –click- bother you anymore desu." And Dan moves to his next target sitting across to Muromachi—Gakuto.
"Mukahi-senpai…"
"What is it Yamabuki?"
"Ano, Senpai… do you -click- know how to do -click- this question desu?"
"What? What is that weird sound?"
"What sound -click- desu?"
"That clicking sound! Don't pretend you didn't hear it! Another click… what is that?"
"Click sound? I didn't –click- hear it desu."
"That's not possible. There! I heard one more time!"
"Gakuto-senpai, are you -click- alright desu?"
"I'm fine! What makes you think I'm not? It's this clicking sound!"
"Gomen, senpai. I better get –click- going desu." Dan ran out of the classroom as fast as possible.

"Mizuki, I feel guilty."
"Sengoku, now is not the time to pull out. Even Atobe and Tezuka have no objection."
"They did object but you decided to go with it anyway. Tezuka can see the problem coming after what we did."
"Hn hn hn hn Sengoku, are you telling me you are regretting it now?"
"I am! Those are my team mates and dorm members! I treat them like my own brother I feel as though I have betrayed their trust now!"
"Don't worry; you'll get over it fast ... especially when you get used to it."
"I don't want to get used to it. By the way, will Atobe, Tezuka and Tachibana cooperate?"
