Tokyo: Idol Girls have absolutely no bad intentions!

Feeling uncomfortable under Asada Sakura's gaze, and to prove that he was definitely not bad at the game, he tossed the sheet music with the lyrics of "I Want to Be Cute" to Asada Sakura.

He wasn't actually lying, after all, "I Want to Be Cute" is about a girl's adolescence.

dorsiflexion

I forced myself to apply makeup I wasn't used to, and my heart pounded with nervousness.

Singing this song with different timbres will evoke different feelings.

It doesn't require much skill, yet it's incredibly addictive.

I remember listening to this song when I was studying "Data Structures" in the library.

I really miss those days.

As he reminisced about the past, he unconsciously began to hum.

I won’t lose to the time when I can’t meet you.

Can you see me if I become cute and charming? (I'll become cute and charming, so you have to notice me!)

"Pfft."

Chapter 5 Then Treat Me as Someone You Like

That laughter, of course, came from Asada Sakura.

This guy heard Yuujin Ito trying to sound cute in a low voice.

I simply couldn't help myself.

"Yes, I'm sorry."

She pressed her lips tightly together, biting them hard, her cheek muscles stiffening slightly as she tried to stop herself from laughing.

I never imagined that Yuji Ito, who appears so serious on the outside, would be like this on the inside.

She needed to re-evaluate this guy. After all, she didn't want to have the chance to call any man "sister" in the future.

“However,” Asada Sakura looked at Ito Yuujin’s almost perfect figure, “on the other hand, it’s understandable that he would wear women’s clothing.”

Yuujin Ito, who was ridiculed for acting cute, did not show much expression.

His face showed no embarrassment at being exposed; only a serious attitude towards his work.

This is the professional quality of an agent.

Yujin Ito didn't explain why his singing was strained; he understood the principle that the more he explained, the worse it would get.

What do you think of this song?

Sakura Asada was impressed. Did this guy have no emotions? He could remain expressionless. It was terrifying.

When suddenly asked a question, she looked at the lyrics, but the scene of Yujin Ito singing just now kept replaying in her mind.

This song is definitely more suited to 'cross-dressing'...

She gently rested her chin on her hand and slowly hummed along with the melody.

Seeing this, Yuujin Ito's worries lessened somewhat. C's vocal skills, including his ability to read sheet music, made him particularly gratified.

His eyes lit up as he looked at Asada Sakura, his thoughts drifting to the light and lively melody, and the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up slightly.

After a while, she gently shook her head, her eyes filled with excitement.

"Cute, so cute, it makes me want to be cute too."

"And it's full of energy, brimming with vitality, accompanied by a lively melody that makes you feel incredibly good."

There's another line that Asada Sakura didn't say, which is how the lyrics describe a girl's behavior when she has a crush on someone.

Although she had never liked anyone else, she believed that this was the purest form of love.

I'm so envious...

Sakura Asada unconsciously turned her gaze to Yuujin Ito, wanting to dissect his mind and study him carefully to find out why he understood young girls so well.

"Hiss..." Asada Sakura gasped. She remembered that she had tried to greet this guy for several nights before, and she had even put on makeup that she was not used to, just like in the lyrics.

Tonight, my heart raced and pounded more than once.

so......

Was this character modeled after me?

But I was just acting, and I acted it convincingly, but none of this is real. I would never fall for this guy.

Little Asada Sakura has a lot of complicated thoughts.

Seeing that Asada Sakura was starting to space out, Ito Yuujin gently stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her. "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Interrupted from her thoughts, Asada Sakura's mind went blank, and she blurted out, "No... I don't like it."

Upon hearing this, Yuujin Ito frowned. This was the only song he could use at the moment, and there was nothing he could do if he didn't like it.

Which part do you dislike?

"No... I don't dislike it." Realizing she had given a wrong answer, Asada Sakura adjusted her response.

"Ok."

Although he was puzzled, since no one had any objections, Yuujin Ito didn't ask any further questions.

"Then why don't you try singing it?"

"it is good."

Asada Sakura started to feel nervous because Ito Yuujin was looking at her very seriously.

Every girl wants to be cute and charming.

"Even if I brush past a stranger, I'll still pay attention."

"Forced to apply makeup I wasn't used to, my heart pounded with nervousness."

"..."

"I'll become cute and charming, so you have to notice!"

After finishing the song, Asada Sakura was slightly out of breath, her chest rising and falling gently, and she looked nervously at Ito Yuujin. Her hands were unconsciously clasped together, awaiting Ito Yuujin's evaluation.

Time ticked by, and Yuujin Ito remained silent.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that Sakura Asada sang very well, but rather that her singing was hard to evaluate.

Under the professional observation of the "spicy" teachers who are rewarded by the system, it is full of loopholes.

To be honest, that's somewhat insulting to the song.

"Are you really singing seriously?"

Yuujin Ito looked at Sakura Asada with a serious expression, and his tone of voice made people unconsciously tense.

Sakura Asada's heart skipped a beat; she hadn't expected Yuujin Ito to give such an answer.

Do I really sing that badly?

They were already very serious.

"I..." Asada Sakura wanted to explain, but the words stuck in her throat.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Realizing that his tone had been a bit harsh, Yuuhito Ito regretted it.

After all, I already knew that Asada Sakura's vocal ability was a C. Besides, I chose her myself, so it's a bit unreasonable to put so much pressure on her now.

But he still couldn't control himself. Even without the professional observation skills of a grit teacher, he could still tell whether Asada Sakura was singing well or not.

She claims she wants to become an idol, but there's absolutely no emotion in her singing.

This is the fatal problem. He can accept not having skills or singing off-key, but being like a machine is something he can't accept.

With less than three hours until the deadline, there's no time to waste.

After calming himself down, he spoke again: "I'll demonstrate it for you."

"it is good."

Sakura Asada lost interest in playing around. Although Yuujin Ito didn't scold her, she could sense that he was disappointed in her.

This feeling is awful.

This time, Yujin Ito sang the entire song. As a male singer, without using falsetto, it's impossible to surpass a female singer's performance.

Even with the original voice, you can still hear the rich emotion in it.

"Asada-san, do you have someone you like?"

"No."

"Then please try to treat me as someone you like right now, or imagine things you like."

Yuujin Ito looked serious. He knew the request was somewhat unreasonable, but there really wasn't enough time.

"it is good."

"Should I sing this song with the intention of liking someone else?" Asada Sakura looked at Ito Yuujin in front of her, trying hard to think about what she liked.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and then opened them again; her entire aura was completely different.

What do I like? I'm not sure. Sweetened tamagoyaki? Or the strawberry sundae milkshake from the station?

What does it feel like to like someone?

She remembered how she used to secretly read romance comics while shyly hiding under the covers.

I imagined those guys standing on rooftops or broadcasting over the loudspeaker confessing their feelings to their crushes.

I also thought about how I had just been lost in thought, my heart pounding.

"It doesn't really mean anything if your cheeks turn bright red after you've just applied makeup."

"Actually, I've always liked you, you know? That's why I haven't dared to say it."

"I barely mustered the courage to say hello to him (confessing my feelings would be asking too much)."
