"...Our school will not reach a formal cooperation agreement with you, but students' freedom of movement will not be hindered." The chairman closed his eyes, then opened them again, his tone softening slightly. "The school has no right to restrict students' extracurricular activities, provided that they do not affect normal classes."

"Thank you very much." Kobayashi Sora made a further request, "Speaking of which, could you please give me some identification? After all, it's an all-girls school, so it's not very convenient for me to come and go."

He was brought here by someone and was not allowed to move around freely.

"Mari, take him to complete the formalities."

“I’m not a student at Yuuka Girls’ High School, so I can’t join your club.” Kato Megumi wasn’t used to lying, so she was direct with the two of them. “Here’s what we’ll do: give me your contact information, and I can find someone to help me.”

"Not a student of our school?" Shibuya Kanon asked, somewhat surprised. "She's clearly wearing our school uniform..."

"This..." Kato Megumi wondered how to explain.

"Really?" Tang Keke looked at her expectantly. "Is there really someone who can help us?"

“Yes.” Kato Megumi nodded vigorously. “There’s not much I can do, but… that person is amazing.” She paused. “If it’s him, he can definitely help you.”

"That's great!" Tang Keke gave Kato Megumi her phone number. "Thank you, my lovely classmate."

"Um...you're welcome."

They helped Tang Keke and Shibuya Xiangyin hand out flyers for a while, but couldn't find anyone interested. During this time, they also had to avoid Hazuki Ren's patrol.

Kato Megumi received Kobayashi Sora's message, then parted ways with the two and reunited with Kobayashi Sora.

"Did the chairman agree?" Kato Megumi asked.

"I declined." Kobayashi Sora and Kato Megumi walked side by side on the school path where cherry blossoms were fluttering in the air. "But I've achieved my goal."

"Hazuki Ren prohibits school idol activities, and Tang Keke's club can't recruit any members right now." Kato Megumi handed the phone number to Kobayashi Sora. "But I got the phone number."

"It was a huge help."

"So, why did you achieve your goal even though the chairman refused?"

“It would be troublesome if she agreed, since I have limited resources to mobilize right now,” Kobayashi Sora explained. “Actually, it’s fine as long as she doesn’t forbid students from participating in activities.”

"So that's how it is... Huh?" Kato Megumi stopped and looked towards the school gate.

"Kane-san!" Tang Keke shouted, clutching the flyer, "I still... I still hope you can become a school idol."

Shibuya Kanon was stunned. "Huh?"

"I was afraid of putting you in a difficult position, so I hesitated to say it." Tang Keke took a deep breath. "Keke wants to be a school idol with you no matter what... no matter what."

"I told you yesterday that I can't sing." Shibuya Kanon waved her hand with a smile. "If we can't sing together, I'll be in the way."

"Kane loves to sing, and people who love to sing are genuinely helping me." Tang Keke stepped forward. "Keke wants to become a school idol with someone like that."

"No, that won't do," Shibuya Kanon refused, troubled.

"Please!" Tang Keke stepped forward.

"I can't do it..."

“That’s not true!” Tang Keke grabbed Shibuya Kanon’s hand.

"Yes!" Shibuya Kanon waved her hand forcefully, accidentally knocking the flyers down and scattering them all over the ground.

Tang Keke immediately fell silent.

"I'm sorry..." Shibuya Kanon apologized subconsciously, biting her lower lip, "I'll let everyone down. If I can't sing at the important moment, everyone around me will be disappointed, and I'll be even more disheartened—I don't want to go through that again!"

Tears streamed down her face. She clearly loved it, clearly wanted to sing... but she repeatedly disappointed those around her. She had already...

"I'm here for you!" Tang Keke solemnly declared. "I promise I won't give up until you can sing again! So—can we try? Can we start over together?"

Shibuya Kanon stood there, put on her headphones, and without saying another word, turned and left.

Tang Keke was left alone to pick up the flyers.

He reached out his other hand to help Tang Keke pick up the flyer.

"A kind and lovely classmate from outside school." Tang Keke noticed Kato Megumi, but couldn't remember her name.

"Let me help you." Kato Megumi picked up the flyers one by one.

I never imagined that the two of us, who were just working hard together, would break up like this.

"Thank you..." Tang Keke said, but her voice was somewhat downcast.

Kobayashi Sora picked up the flyer, which featured cheerful cartoon characters drawn in cute colors and style.

Let's become school idols!

Let's take the first step together!

The simple words and composition allow the reader to clearly feel the author's passion.

Kobayashi Sora handed the few sheets she had picked up to Tang Keke, asking, "Did you make these?"

“Yes,” Tang Keke answered instinctively in Chinese. “You speak Chinese?”

"We've known each other for decades," Kobayashi Sora chuckled, introducing herself and Kato Megumi. "I'm Megumi's friend, and I've learned some Chinese."

"Your Chinese is so good... You're her friend?" Tang Keke's eyes lit up. "The really amazing friend she was talking about?!"

"It must be me." Kobayashi Sora looked at Kato Megumi. So that's how she introduced herself?

Kato Megumi looked completely bewildered. "What...are you talking about?"

She genuinely couldn't understand.

“I know some Chinese,” Kobayashi Sora explained.

"Um, um, could you help Xiangyin?" Tang Keke asked expectantly. "She sings really well, but..."

Chapter 76: Learn and Apply

"You want to sing, you love to sing, but you can't sing in front of a crowd?" Kobayashi Sora looked at Shibuya Kanon, who was walking away. "It's a psychological problem, it's definitely difficult."

Kato Megumi nudged Kobayashi Sora, "Shouldn't you see a psychologist in this situation?"

“Hmm…” Kobayashi Sora thought for a moment, “Indeed.”

Tang Keke suddenly realized, "That's right!"

Kobayashi Sora took out her phone, "I know a really amazing psychologist..."

"Kongqing," Kato Megumi called softly.

"Ok?"

“Shibuya-kun,” Kato Megumi pointed in the direction of the school gate, “you’re back again.”

Tang Keke and Kobayashi Sora looked in the direction Kato Megumi was pointing, and Shibuya Kaon was running towards them.

Really... okay?

Some people say they really like my singing.

She said she wanted to sing with me.

But is this really a good idea?

Is it really okay to leave like this?

Her steps faltered as she was about to step out of the school gate. Shibuya Kanon suddenly turned around and ran towards Tang Keke. Cherry blossoms danced around her, and a gentle breeze lifted her body. She strode over several steps and stood before Tang Keke, panting heavily.

"Xiangyin?" Tang Keke was momentarily confused about the situation.

Oh no!

It's not good at all.

Leaving is not a good idea.

Giving up is not good.

because......

Shibuya Kanon raised her head and shouted out her innermost thoughts, "I... love to sing!!!"

Ever since I was a child, I've been thinking about...

I love to sing, and I want to keep singing forever.

As long as you keep singing, you can fly into the sky.

Fly to anywhere in the world.

Whether it's gloomy troubles or feelings of self-abandonment.

They all become my strength, making me optimistic and positive.

I want to sing forever.

Unspeakable words transformed into melodious singing, resonating throughout the room and captivating every listener under Tang Keke's excited gaze.

It wasn't until applause erupted around her that Shibuya Kanon realized what was happening.

I... I actually sang in public?!

"Xiangyin!" Tang Keke's eyes sparkled. "You're amazing!"

"Ah!" Shibuya Kanon's eyes widened. "Could it be that I... sang it out loud?!"

This goes beyond just singing.

Kobayashi Sora sighed.

Shibuya Kanon sang and danced as if no one else was around, and had already jumped around for two blocks.

Socially anxious people feel like they're going to die just looking at them.

"It seems you don't need my help anymore." Kobayashi Sora found Shibuya Kanon and Tang Keke, who had fled in panic, and handed them her business card. "However, you can always ask me for help if you need it."

Shibuya Kanon took the business card. "Ah, Kobayashi Sora... Mr.?"

"Just call me Xiaolin."

"But..." Shibuya Kanon asked curiously, "Why do you want to help us?"

"Of course, there's an ulterior motive," Kobayashi Sora said frankly. "My club needs members like you who can sing and dance. Whether it's games or anime, music is an essential part."
