Shengze Youna took several bites in a row, exclaiming, "What a treat!"

Even Eriri, who loves junk food, had a great appetite.

“Well, the deliciousness comes from the excellent ingredients on the island,” Heian Nami smiled. “We only did some minor processing, right, Coco?”

"Eh?" Tang Keke turned her head, her face showing struggle. "No... that..."

“This Chinese fried rice is Coco’s hometown dish,” Ping An Ming Jin said with her smile unchanged. “Right?”

"It's out..." Kobayashi Sora sighed helplessly.

Fried rice is a staple food...

"I didn't do it," Tang Keke honestly admitted.

“Alright,” Ping An Ming Jin advised, “just cooperate with me. Speaking frankly and openly with a smile is an essential quality in the entertainment industry.”

"That's a lie!"

"But we were both in the kitchen, right?"

“That won’t do either,” Tang Keke refused. “I just feel uncomfortable.”

The two quickly started arguing.

Hiiragi Maho exclaimed, "They really have a good relationship."

Shibuya Kanon, sweating profusely, said, "I'm so sorry..."

"This way of getting along," Kato Megumi said thoughtfully, "feels somewhat familiar."

Kobayashi Sora put a shrimp on her plate, saying, "I see through it, but I won't say anything."

After dinner, having learned her lesson from last time, Eriri was finally able to sleep in her own bed.

Kato Megumi hugged the blanket; the unfamiliar touch brought her back to her senses for a moment.

It's not hot...

As she released the blanket, Kato Megumi instinctively looked in Kobayashi Sora's direction.

The bed is empty.

Was it because the thing you were holding felt wrong that you woke up, but because you heard some noise?

Kato Megumi got up and put on her shoes, but Kobayashi Sora wasn't in the bathroom.

That......

Kato Megumi stepped out of the guesthouse and saw Kobayashi Sora, who was making a phone call outside.

"Okay, then give me his contact information. I'll contact him when I need it." Kobayashi Sora noticed Kato Megumi's figure and waved her hand. "Okay, I'll wait for your email. Don't worry, what we agreed on before still stands."

"What's wrong?" Kato Megumi asked after Kobayashi Sora put down the phone.

"I talked to the 'Blazing Sun' group today and we discussed some issues," Kobayashi Sora relayed what she had heard. "So I'm contacting people to see if there's any news or anything that can help."

"As for dancing," Kato Megumi recalled, "I remember Chisato was really good at it."

“But she already refused.” Kobayashi Sora shook her head. “So we can only find someone else… Why are you looking at me like that?”

Kato Megumi tilted her head. "Well... I feel like you've changed a little."

"Eh?"

"If it were before, we would definitely have used every possible method to get Chisato to join, right?"

"I just asked casually at the time, and Chisato-san..." White hair and red eyes, no, Kobayashi Sora shook her head, "And it's not that she didn't want to join, it's that she didn't want to participate halfway... huh?"

Kobayashi Sora was taken aback. "You reminded me!"

"Me?" Kato Megumi's face showed obvious confusion.

"Do you remember when I asked her if she was interested in joining Coco and the others, and what was Chisato's answer?"

“Hmm…” Kato Megumi recalled, “Chisato also has to dance, and achieving good results in dance is her biggest goal right now. She doesn’t have the energy to do two things at the same time. Besides, Kanon is very serious, and she doesn’t want to participate halfway.”

“That’s right.” Kobayashi Sora nodded. “So, what kind of achievement are you referring to in dance?”

"You mean..." Kato Megumi recalled Shibuya Kanon and Arashi Chisato's farewell at the airport, "This dance competition?"

"If she wins, she'll join the school idol group and solve the dance problems there." Kobayashi Sora agreed with Kato Megumi's guess. "If she doesn't..."

Kato Megumi chimed in, "Then she will continue to work hard to improve herself until she achieves outstanding results."

"So the key to the problem has shifted from solving the dance issue to addressing Chisato's grades." Kobayashi Sora pondered seriously, "What exactly should we do?"

I don't know if it's too late to bribe the judges now...

Chapter 173 For Everyone

On the platform by the sea, under the coconut trees, the huge stage is exquisite and magnificent.

Under the blazing sun and fervent enthusiasm, the group saw the performance stage for the first time.

"So beautiful!" Tang Keke exclaimed.

"I did it with my classmates," Yuna Seizawa explained.

Shibuya Kanon murmured, "With my classmates..."

“The actual performance,” Hiiragi Mao added, “will probably be even better.”

“The island has a limited population,” said Yuna Seizawa, looking at the stage. “The students hope to make the island more lively, with our school idols as the center.”

Shibuya Kanon seemed to have thought of something, "For the sake of the island..."

"The thought that it's for everyone gives me strength!" Yuna Seizawa smiled broadly.

Hiiragi Maho looked at her companions and said, "Even if it's hard, you can still find joy in it."

Tang Keke seemed stunned, as if she was thinking about something.

Ping An Mingjin tilted her head. "What's wrong?"

"No...it's nothing." Shibuya Kanon shook her head. "We have to try our best too."

"What a difference," Kasumigaoka Utaha murmured in a voice they couldn't hear.

"What?" Eriri tilted her head.

“The passionate activities under the blazing sun have the support of the students, but in comparison…” Kasumigaoka Utaha looked in the direction of Shibuya Kanon, “As expected, even though we are both school idols, we have different circumstances.”

"I see..." Kato Megumi's gaze wandered, finally settling on Kobayashi Sora, who had left the crowd with Tang Keke.

"Need help?" Kobayashi Sora's eyes lit up. "Just ask."

"I want to decorate the stage more beautifully, so I need some materials..." Tang Keke said, expressing her idea. "Could you help me transport some materials? I'll pay you!"

“This kind of small island…the delivery is too slow.” Kobayashi Sora took out her phone. “Give me a list, and I’ll have someone collect it and send it over right now. As for the funds, don’t bother with that.”

Kobayashi Sora smiled and said, "When I ask you guys for help writing a song, give me a discount."

"No problem!" Tang Keke's eyes lit up. "I need spotlights, colored lights, LED strip lights, and those large floor lamps..."

"This involves some electrical safety issues, so please be careful," Kobayashi Sora reminded.

"Don't worry!" Tang Keke gave a thumbs up, "With my hands-on skills..."

Remembering the huge standee from before, Kobayashi Sora felt a little relieved. "That's good... It's not possible today, but it should be enough for tomorrow or the day after. Is there anything else you want to add?"

"besides......"

-

Kato Megumi felt a weight on her shoulder; Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand had been placed on her shoulder without her noticing.

The senior student looked in Kobayashi Sora's direction, leaned close to Kato Megumi's ear, and asked, "They seem to be having a lively conversation over there. How's it going?"

"It looks like they're just discussing something..." Kato Megumi blinked her big eyes. "Huh, does this kind of interaction seem like a passionate exchange to you, senpai?"

puff!

Kasumigaoka Utaha felt as if she had been hit by an arrow for no apparent reason.

Such words wouldn't be very hurtful if said to someone like Eriri, who can communicate amicably with all her classmates.

As for Kasumigaoka Utaha, who basically has no friends at school...

A critical strike.

The key is that there's no way to refute it.

How to refute Kato Megumi's statement?

Kobayashi Sora and Tang Keke were just having a normal conversation.

So, how about refuting yourself?

It doesn’t seem to work either.

“Kato,” Kasumigaoka Utaha’s eyes narrowed slightly, “I knew I hadn’t misjudged you.”

"what?"

Another day of playing and having fun has come to an end.

Of course, this applies to members of gaming clubs.

The school idols worked hard all day.

Shibuya Kanon was doing yoga by the sea while contemplating.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Kobayashi Sora playing in the water.

"Huh? When?"

"It's been a while," Kobayashi Sora replied. "I didn't say anything so as not to interrupt your train of thought."

"It's nothing..." Shibuya Kanon looked towards the stage, "It's just... I had some thoughts after thinking about what Retsujin said today."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"The thought of everyone giving me strength," Shibuya Kanon said, her eyes slightly lowered. "How would we feel if we were in the same situation?"

"Not just striving for your own goals, but working hard for others, moving forward inspired by them..." Kobayashi Sora guessed, "That kind of feeling?"
