The comments section all think I'm a really good person.

Why didn't Xiaxia, a member of the fan club, hear the news?!

Aicheng Hualian chuckled: "Even if you asked me about something like this..."

She just inexplicably caused Nana Nakagawa to reveal her identity.

Asaka Kaori smiled meaningfully: "Oh? What you said is really interesting."

Her smile was so intimidating that Nakasu Kasumi almost immediately shrank back, hiding behind Sakurazaka Shizuku: "Sorry! I have some sandwiches here, please spare me!"

As she spoke, she pulled out two strawberry jam-filled breads from somewhere and handed them to Asaka Kaorin as if offering a tribute. Looking at Aijo Karen, she also handed one over, trembling.

Aicheng Hualian gave a helpless smile: "Thank you, then I'll accept it."

“I searched the whole school yesterday but couldn’t find you,” Shizuku Sakurazaka said, feeling somewhat helpless about her unpredictable friend. “I even tried to find you through your phone.”

Zhong Xuxia exclaimed "Huh?" before remembering to take out her phone to check the messages.

"Really?...Wow! I didn't even notice!"

Kasumi Nakasu seems to be the idiot in this group, and Karen Aijo always feels that the atmosphere isn't so heavy when she speaks.

After their playful banter ended, Emma Wilder, slightly disappointed, exchanged information with Yukina-chan: "It seems like Yukina-chan is really planning to give up on school idols..."

“I wanted to have a proper talk with her…” Kanata Omi said slowly, “but she didn’t leave any room for negotiation…”

"I see..."

These words silenced both the former club member and the newcomer, creating a somewhat somber atmosphere.

Chao Xiangguo broke a loaf of bread, gave half to Emma Wilder, took a bite, and then said, "Is there a problem?"

This attracted everyone's attention.

Aside from Aicheng Hualian, this guy was still focused on eating bread, and before he knew it, he had smeared jam all over his face.

Love City Romance: ...This is so delicious!

"I think you've achieved your primary goal." Asaka Kaorin finished her bread and continued, "We now have five members, and the student council has given its approval. The club can start operating from today, right?"

"Since she herself has said that she wants to give up, I don't think there is any need to force her to stay."

That's what they say, but it seems that no one really believes Yuuki Setsuna wants to give up on being a school idol.

"Even though she said that herself, there are times when what she says and what she thinks are contradictory, right, Captain?" Shizuku Sakurazaka knew this all too well. After all, before being enlightened by Captain Karen Aijo, she had also considered giving up.

However, despite saying she could relax, disappointment and resentment were written all over her face. Yuki Setsuna was in almost the same situation as her.

Therefore, Shizuku Sakurazaka could see that no matter how stubborn Yuki Yukina was, or how much she tried to appear determined, it wasn't her true feeling.

When Ai Cheng Hua Ren was suddenly called out by one of her colleagues, she almost choked on her bread.

After hurriedly taking the water handed to her by someone else and taking a big gulp, Aicheng Hualian finally recovered.

She noticed everyone was looking at her, and subconsciously wiped her mouth with her hand, wiping off a piece of jam.

Kind of embarrassing.

"...Um..." Aijo Karen chuckled, revealing a smile that suggested she was getting away with it, "How about we invite her out again and have a proper chat?"

As she was talking, her phone vibrated again in her pocket.

This time, the familiar giraffe-themed bell rang in my ears.

While everyone was wondering whose call it was, they suddenly noticed that the head of the drama department, who had been trying to coast along, suddenly became serious.

She was originally a cool and stylish girl, but now that she has toned down her somewhat carefree demeanor, she exudes an even more extraordinary aura.

As she spoke, she took out her phone and glanced at the information on it.

"…I'm sorry," the head of the drama department said urgently, "I have something urgent to take care of right now, let's talk again later!"

As she spoke, she turned and left in a hurry, her steps quickening until she started running.

"Meow!" From behind the flowerbed next to them, a small black cat hurriedly followed.

At the same time, Nakagawa Nana, who had just finished a student council meeting, suddenly heard an unfamiliar cell phone ringtone.

Because of the vibration, she realized it was her phone ringing, and hurriedly took it out, apologizing to everyone, "Sorry, I think I forgot to put it on silent..."

"It's alright, Chairman. It's no longer meeting time."

No one seemed to have any complaints. They packed up their things and adjourned the meeting, giving Nakagawa Nana a friendly smile.

Nana Nakagawa blushed slightly. For the student council president to make such a blunder was truly...

Wait a moment?

She realized that she had indeed turned the phone to silent mode when she came to school today.

Moreover, she had never heard this ringtone before.

So this is...

Upon opening my phone, I saw a rainbow-colored giraffe icon rotating in the center of the screen.

Please come to the School Idol Club's activity room.

It says this above.

Rascal Does Not Dream of Red Mansions Pranks Extra Chapter 7

It feels like free fall.

As soon as Nana Nakagawa pushed open the door to the School Idol Club, she felt her feet sink into the ground.

"Waaaaaahh ...

What is this?!

The completely supernatural phenomenon left Nana Nakagawa's mind blank during the free fall.

Although she didn't know why, and was certain that she wouldn't die from the fall, the feeling of weightlessness and the visual impact were still too strong, and she couldn't help but let out a bloodcurdling scream.

thump.

She landed on a soft, cuddly mat covered with strange dolls, feeling completely disoriented and rolling around in circles on the mat.

This should be a theater.

Located underground in the Nijigasaki Academy club activity building... or somewhere else, it doesn't look like a building on the surface.

Looking up, Nakagawa Nana could see a bright red steel frame, constructed in a strangely familiar way, forming the dome of this underground theater.

She was positioned on the stage in the very center, surrounded by a staircase-like seating area that formed a circular outer ring around the stage.

Total darkness.

“…Where is this…” Nakagawa Nana looked around blankly, completely confused as to why she was here.

Is this the kind of hidden facility setting often seen in anime, like in schools...?

Then the chosen students will use their special powers to fight...!

The theater had a rather unique smell, with a strong odor from the wooden floors.

Everything proves that this is indeed a stage.

The sound of the spotlight turning on drew Nana Nakagawa's attention. She turned her head sharply, only to see—

—On the stage where stardust dances

[Star dust overflowing れるステージに]

The lovely blooming flower of love

[Poor に咲かせる爱の华]

Refining and Reborn

[生まれ変わったprivateをまとい]

Leap onto the dazzling stage

[キラめくstageに飞び込みginseng]

Drama Department Head Ai Cheng Hua Lian

[Director of the Drama Department Aicheng Hualian]

I will make you shine like a star!

[あなたをスタァライトしちゃいます! ]"

Under the lights, the dignified face of the drama club president, whom Nana Nakagawa had only recently met, almost seemed to be shining.

The other person was dressed in a gorgeous and stylish red and blue performance outfit with gold trim. The bright red cape on the left shoulder had white fur trim and was secured with gold rope and star buttons.

He held a gleaming cavalry saber in his hand, its inlaid red gemstones shining brightly.

Her posture was both dignified and dashing.

"Aijo-kun...?" Nakagawa Nana was even more confused. "What's going on...?"

Why is Aicheng standing here in a performance costume, and holding a weapon?

Speaking of weapons...

Nakagawa Nana looked down at herself.

A katana had appeared in his hand without him even noticing.

Her glasses had disappeared at some point, her braids had come undone, and she had changed into a dark purple Japanese-style revue.

Is this situation... a battle with Ai Cheng on stage?

Because of her love for anime, Nana Nakagawa quickly accepted this strange reality. This chuunibyou (delusional) and passionate idol even felt a little eager to try it out.

"I've heard about it, Setsuna-chan!" Standing on this stage, Karen Aijo's tone became a little more lively than usual. In fact, it was because she was more relaxed that she revealed a bit of her true nature.

She believes that Yuki Setsuna's emotional distress can actually be resolved through revue.

And the giraffe brought this underground theater to Nijigasaki Academy.

Aicheng Hualian couldn't bear to see someone who loved the stage give up like this, so she decided—
