Mygo? Bandori Girls? The goal is The Idolmaster!

Shiina Riki feels ashamed of his teammates.

As the girls in the orchestra club exclaimed in unison, some were surprised, some felt envy from the bottom of their hearts, and many wanted to replace her (referring to Nagasaki Suyo).

Nagasaki Suyo and Shiina Tatsuki came to their senses and saw Konoe Saki hugging Suyo.

After realizing how ambiguous the two people's posture was, Su Shi exclaimed "Ah" and her fair face turned crimson.

Shiina Riki subconsciously opened his elastic lips and his brows drooped.

Noticing this detail, Hachiman Kailing walked up to Riki with interest and asked in a low voice: "Shiina-san seems to be very concerned?"

Hai Ling didn't tell Li Xi who he cared about, leaving it to his imagination. Because she knew Li Xi was impulsive, and if she made a joke, Li Xi would speak up and get to the point.

By that time, Hai Ling will be able to accurately grasp the key to the problem.

But this time, Li Xi's reaction was beyond Hai Ling's expectations. She blushed, lowered her head, and said nothing.

"?"

On the other side, Saki held Su Shi's waist with one hand and grasped the neck of the double bass with the other, holding it easily.

Saki spoke softly to Su Shi, showing concern for her and asking her if she needed to rest.

Because of the height difference, Su Shi could only look up at Saki; for some reason, looking at Saki's warm smile, she felt dizzy.

Su Shi bit her lip subconsciously and frowned. She knew that she and Konoe Saki had become the focus of the orchestra, and she also knew that Konoe Saki was a considerate and caring person.

Even when no one was paying attention, Su Shi couldn't go against the atmosphere created by others, let alone the current situation?

The flaxen-haired girl responded to Saki's concern with a smile, saying that she was fine and was just happy for everyone's progress, and for a moment she was overwhelmed with emotion.

Because he was holding the bow, Su Shi forced himself to suppress the subconscious behavior of rubbing his nails and instead used his left hand to play with his hair.

She feigned strength and persuaded, "The atmosphere is perfect now, and everyone has mastered a better way of playing. Why don't we play together again? I'm looking forward to it."

This is a lie.

Rather than seeing the ensemble succeed, Su Shi hopes that the new round of ensemble will have mediocre results.

But because the ensemble incorporated the sweat and hard work of the entire Tsuki no Mori Orchestra, as well as their yearning and expectations for the future, she couldn't interfere and could only try her best to play the double bass.

She even didn't dare to think that the ensemble would not be good.

She could only throw herself into the ensemble, play the violin hard, and wait for the latest results.

The song is over.

Su Shi was surprised. She had been playing the double bass in the club for more than two years, and had grown step by step from a novice to the backbone of the bass section of the string group. Even the senior students in the high school department had praised her level.

But before this, she had never felt such silky smooth performance in the ministry!

It was as if their Moon Forest Orchestra had completely merged into one whole, becoming a special instrument that could play all kinds of music!

Saya and Rinko looked at each other and found that the dissonance in the orchestral part had completely disappeared. They felt from the bottom of their hearts: This is the effect that Saki wanted to achieve.

Sayo sighed softly, "Konoe-san didn't let down her standards just because it was a social performance. This level of seriousness and high standards is exactly what a future flower girl needs!"

Before this, Sayo hadn't seen similar qualities in the student council members, and she had been a little worried, but now she felt a little more at ease.

Rinko agreed: "Yeah, Saki-chan...hehe, she's been like this since she was a little girl."

The corners of the girl's mouth curled up slightly, and a warm and nostalgic look appeared on her pretty face. "He was gentle yet strict, serious yet humorous. He was truly a charming and shining star."

It was rare for Shirogane Rinko to speak a long string of words without much interruption, which made Saya, who was already her old teammate, look at her sideways.

Saya: [Shirogane-san?]

This was the first time she saw Rinko Shirogane like this. She was a little curious, but more of an admiration for Saki; she didn't expect that Saki had done nothing to Rinko Shirogane, but had completed the "strengthening" of Rinko Shirogane without them knowing.

Shirogane Rinko also reacted. She lowered her head embarrassedly, looking at her completely invisible toes, and fell into deep thought.

While the two girls watched in silence, Saki had already finished praising the trombonist and the French horn player by name, and even mentioned Nagasaki Motoyo. Then someone suddenly said, "Onee-sama, please praise me a little too."

The words were full of coquettishness.

The person involved didn't know that Saki had already locked onto her identity the moment she opened her mouth. It was useless even if she blended into the crowd and moved to another location at the first moment.

Saki was in a state of confusion, as the person who had been secretly speaking was a certain department head who did not want to be named...

[You're already a senior in high school, but your mentality is like that of a child?]

But this is also good. If Miss Buchou really thinks so, Saki won't need Tohru to play the role of livening up the atmosphere. With a fan girl who is "powerful and influential", everything will be easier.

The first ensemble ended successfully, and Saki wanted to increase the difficulty of the music score a little, but after careful consideration, she gave up the idea.

The purpose of the joint live is to liven up the atmosphere, make the girls of Tsuki no Mori more confident, and let the chairman let go of Tsuki no Mori's daily life. The goal is to use the simplest operations to achieve the most shocking effect. There is really no need to increase the intensity.

Even so, the girl secretly thought: [It would be great if Ruwei and Rinlin joined. ]

Because both of them were student council presidents and could not join the ensemble, she "reluctantly" removed the violin solo and piano parts and pretended nothing had happened.

If possible, she really wants to play with her two childhood friends.

Saki thought so. On the surface, she went around the orchestra, praising everyone. If there was room for improvement, she followed up the praise with encouragement, and if there was already a peak performance, she encouraged them to maintain their form.

After she finished all this, she clapped her hands and directed, "Okay, today's practice is over. Thank you for your hard work. Remember to rest. Your health is the most important thing. Don't exhaust yourself just to improve your performance. That would be counterproductive."

After hearing this, Su Shi breathed a sigh of relief. The long day for her was finally over. She was going to find Ruoye Mu and reconfirm the child's thoughts.

In Su Shi's opinion, the time spent at crychic is irreplaceable by anyone and anything.

【I will protect everything of crychic! 】

As she thought about this, her expression gradually became firm.

(*??*)

Chapter 72 72. Feeling inferior to...Senior Konoe

Tsuki no Mori Girls' Academy, courtyard.

In a pavilion, Nagasaki Suyo sat in front of a stone table, her hands unconsciously folded and touched each other, as if she could hear the mournful sound of her thumb nails.

The girl's inner thoughts were as intense as the collision between her nails. Sometimes she felt the fear of being alone in crychic, and sometimes she felt a deep fear of Konoe Saki, who was as gentle as water but as aggressive as fire.

When she thought of this name, Nagasaki Suyo felt a gentle smile appear in front of her, and she felt a heat in her lower back, followed by a deep fear.

She was afraid of the girl named Konoe Saki. She was worried that she would replace Toyokawa Shoko's position in crychic and that her time at crychic would be gone forever.

[I'm still working hard, crychic isn't over yet, why should I throw myself into that woman's arms? Whether it's Xiao Deng or Xiao Lixi, why on earth is this happening...] A sad emotion grew and spread in the girl's heart.

At this moment, a girl with long light green hair and a delicate doll-like figure slowly entered the pavilion. Her arrival made Nagasaki Suyo stop thinking about it, but it also made Nagasaki Suyo place all her hopes on her.

Wakaba Mu has never been good at expressing herself or communicating, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know how to read people's expressions; in fact, her ability to read the atmosphere is much stronger than her good friend Toyokawa Shoko, and she can often quickly grasp the core of the problem.

The problem is that she found that once she opened her mouth, things would get worse, which made her more afraid to speak. This situation became more and more serious as time went by, and because she was afraid to speak, no one could hear her inner voice, not even her closest friend Toyokawa Shoko knew the reason.

Only another voice in her heart knows her troubles and her pain.

Just like now, when Wakaba Mu felt Nagasaki Suyo's expectant gaze, she immediately thought of the point that her good friend had always cared about: Toyokawa Shoko.

Ruoye Mu felt that her words on that rainy night had hurt Xiangzi, Sushi, and everyone else. She was very sad and tormented by it. What made her even more miserable was that Sushi wanted to find Xiangzi, but Xiangzi didn't want to be found by Sushi. The two of them had put her in the middle, but both wanted her to stand by their side...

Of course, Wakaba Mutsuki stood firmly on Xiangzi's side, but she felt deeply guilty for shattering Su Shi's hopes again and again; because she destroyed Crychic, Su Shi had been protecting Crychic from beginning to end, and her most important friend Xiangzi Toyokawa loved Crychic the most.

Wakaba Mutsu was deeply immersed in a state called cry

She was stuck in the quagmire of chic, unable to extricate herself, yet unwilling to do so; when it came to the band's affairs, she was like a prisoner burdened with deep guilt, walking barefoot on broken glass.

(I hate this feeling.) At this moment, a voice rang out in Wakaba Mu's heart, (It's obviously not Xiaomu's fault, is it? Why let Xiaomu suffer this pain? Whether it's Xiangzi or Su Shi, their minds are full of themselves.)

This was the result of her endurance. What she really wanted to say was: Isn't this all Xiaoxiang's fault? If she hadn't formed the band and dragged Xiaomu into it without permission, everyone wouldn't be suffering so much. And Sushi, it's just a band, why not just give it up? Why does she keep bothering Xiaomu again and again?

The girl's voice was filled with anger, yet one could also feel a hint of sadness.

Because she and Ruoye Mu are two sides of the same coin: she is Ruoye Mu, Ruoye Mu is her, and Ruoye Mu's sadness is her sadness.

Listening to another voice in her heart, Ruo Yemu shook her head slightly; at the same time, she also shook her head at Su Shi.

Hearing the expected answer of "No news about Xiangzi", Su Shi suppressed his anxiety and sighed, "Is that so? But this is not Xiao Mu's fault."

Su Shi also knew that her words of comfort were a bit stiff, but she was in no mood or energy to think about such things.

The arrival of Konoe Saki, the appearance of Shiina Riki, and Takamatsu Touma's desire to form a band with Konoe Saki, these three things overlapped together, almost making her breathless. She no longer had the mind to care about Wakaba Mutsu's feelings.

Recalling the conversation between herself and Wakaba Mu on Line, Su Shi tentatively spoke: "Today, I saw Xiao Lixi. It turns out that she joined the temporary band that existed for this joint school festival. If Xiao Xiang was still here, and if Xiao Deng was willing to come, we could all get together again."

Hearing this, Ruo Yemu just lowered his head without saying a word.

In desperation, Su Shi had to drop the bombshell that she had never told Wakaba Mu: Takamatsu Deng had the idea of ​​reorganizing the band, and she hoped that the band would last a lifetime, but she had designated Konoe Saki.

"Xiao Mu seems to know that senior sister from the Guards. What does Xiao Mu think?" Su Shi didn't know what kind of answer she wanted to hear. Even the questions she asked were incomprehensible.

Is this question really about Takamatsu's invitation to Saki Konoe to form a lifelong band? Or is it about Saki Konoe herself? Both directions revolve around Saki Konoe, but their focus is completely different.

Ruoye Mu didn't know what Su Shi was asking, so she decided to answer both at once:

"Great."

This is about Takamatsu Deng coming out of the shadow of the band's disbandment and deciding to start over.

"It feels very gentle, just like Xiang."

This was her true thought. She didn't have a deep impression of Saki, she only remembered that she was an excellent person and the daughter of a famous star; and then there was the incident where Saki bought her mango juice at Yuze Coffee Shop.

The two of them could almost be said to have met by chance, but Saki remembered that she liked to drink mango juice. Isn't this tenderness?

At the same time, this answer also took into account Xiangzi's request to her.

Xiangzi once said to her: I hope you can believe in her and help her as much as you believe in me.

Of course Wakaba Mutsu would keep her promise to Xiangzi, just as she always did. Since Xiangzi wanted her to equate Saki with Xiang in her eyes, she would do so.

"Eh!" Su Shi's eyes widened at that moment. She could never have imagined that Wakaba Mu, who should have valued Xiangzi the most, would actually give such an answer.

Just like Xiang? How could a mouth with a temperature of thirty-seven degrees utter such cold words?

Shoko is Shoko, and Konoe Saki is Konoe Saki. These two are completely different. No one can be a substitute for the other, right?

Su Shi uttered a righteous voice in his heart: The meal replacement culture is not desirable!

[These two people are nothing alike! ]

Shoko's personality is very gentle, like a bright moonlight, quietly shining on everyone; her smile is sunny and bright, as if it can make people feel warm from the bottom of their hearts. The same is true for Konoe Saki. Shoko is pronounced as sakiko, and Saki is pronounced as saki, so Saki Shoko?

What kind of barbaric logic is this? This makes no sense!

Su Shi felt that Wakaba Mutsu's behavior was very problematic. She felt that Wakaba Mutsu had betrayed her, just like Takamatsu Touma and Shiina Riki!

Even if I'm the only one left in crychic, I'll still...

Nagasaki Moyo refuses to admit defeat, to lose to this unreasonable, cold, and heartless world. Even if everyone no longer misses crychic, she will always have this band and that time deeply etched in her mind.

I will protect everything of crychic. These are not empty words! The girl's determination was firm, her eyes became sharper, and her momentum increased.

"..." Looking at Su Shi like this, Ruo Yemu felt at a loss. She didn't know how her answer offended Su Shi, and she didn't understand what was wrong with what she said. She was very distressed.

She thought: [Xiang, I...]

The girl's thoughts came to an abrupt halt at this moment.

According to Xiangzi's instructions, Ruoye Mu's next step was to find Saki to solve the problem. The girl's eyes were dim, and she didn't know whether her decision was right or wrong.

What she didn't understand was that this evening, Suyo stepped up her aura in front of her, and it seemed that she had some thoughts about Konoe Saki; the next day, during the ensemble practice of the orchestra, the club leader specifically praised Suyo Nagasaki.

"Student Su Shi is very serious, and her attitude is worth learning from for every one of us." As she spoke, the minister touched Su Shi's head.

Nagasaki Suyo: “?”

She felt that this action was somewhat familiar. Yes, just yesterday, after Konoe Saki helped her up, he touched the top of her head. She felt a little uncomfortable.

[Such a stiff technique, I feel it's not as good as Konoe-san's... No, what on earth was I thinking?!] Even Sushi herself was shocked.

Wakaba Mu: “?”

She found that Su Shi's seriousness was very different from what she expected, no, it should be said that it was completely the opposite.

She couldn't understand it, but she was deeply shocked.

ps: Thanks to Fanliu for the monthly ticket, thanks to Dazang Tianxing for the monthly ticket, thanks to Xianyu No. 10086 for the monthly ticket, thank you for your support

(*??*)

Chapter 73: Talking at cross purposes? Information gap?

The various incidents that occurred during ensemble practice left Nagasaki Suyo feeling entangled and uncomfortable, but she did not let it slack off. Because everyone in the orchestra club was extremely enthusiastic about this joint school festival, she could not let her own emotions waste or even ruin everyone's efforts.

To the point that she accidentally overworked and was praised by the minister.
