Neither worry nor indifference could occupy her cute face anymore, and a sense of relief emerged between the girl's brows.

When the two returned to the courtyard, Su Shi was sitting alone in the pavilion, staring blankly at the blue sky in the distance.

"Mr. Suyo? Mr. Suyo Nagasaki?" Saki tried to greet Suyo. When she saw that the light in Suyo's eyes had faded, she immediately understood Wakaba Mutsu's worries.

Su Shi is really scary like this.

Hearing Saki's call, Suyo suddenly came back to her senses. Unfortunately, Saki's call brought back memories of the past. She seemed to hear someone calling her: "Nagasaki-san? Is it Nagasaki Suyo-san?"

Su Shi's breathing stopped, and he thought he was back to that sunny afternoon, back to the day when he was invited to join the band.

"?" Saki tilted her head, then revealed a gentler, sunnier smile. "Ah, you want to hold hands? Sure, come on."

She held Su Shi's hand, which he subconsciously raised as if trying to grab something, and pushed Su Shi's other hand with his left hand, allowing Su Shi to complete the action of clenching both hands in an instant.

Saki sat next to Suyo and said comfortingly, "If it's a life discussion, I'd be happy to do it."

Su Shi almost stopped breathing as she came back to her senses from her memories and realized that she had made a mistake.

What she wanted to hold was the hand of Xiangzi in her memory, not to act coquettishly with Xiangsaki and want to hold hands.

However, feeling the delicate touch between her palms and looking at Saki's smile, Suyo couldn't help but think: [Similar, so similar, how could they be... so similar?]

At that moment, she immediately understood why Wakaba Mushuang ate meal replacements. This Konoe-senpai didn't look like Xiangzi, but their temperaments were exactly the same.

Gentle and kind, beautiful and charming, with a kind heart that is willing to care for others. In short: beautiful and kind-hearted.

Su Shi subconsciously stroked Saki's hand and muffled her voice: "No, I... I just..."

A faint blush appeared on the girl's face. She didn't know why she was nervous and why she couldn't speak. Logically, she shouldn't be like this.

Su Shi couldn't understand herself anymore. She just felt her face getting hotter, and even her body started to heat up.

"It's okay, we can slowly organize our words and wait until we have adjusted our mindset before speaking out. I'm waiting for Su Shi." Seeing that Su Shi was unable to organize her words, Saki further comforted her.

"That..." Feeling that Saki seemed to be ending the topic, Su Shi quickly spoke, but she still didn't know what to say and immediately regretted it. She felt that she had become a weirdo in Saki's eyes.

The temperature on his face rose further, but this time it was awkward.

After a long while, Su Shi finally spoke: "Thank you, Konoe-senpai."

"No, I didn't do anything. In fact, it was Su Shi who adjusted himself. Su Shi is Su Shi's own hero." Saki did not take credit for it.

If the two are familiar enough, Saki will speak directly to Suze's heart so that his words can enter the girl's heart in a more impressive way.

Unfortunately, the two of them were not very familiar with each other, so Saki could only shake Suyo and hold her hand tightly.

[By the way, why is Sushi-san touching things all the time? Her hands aren't very clean.]

Saki didn't point out Suye's little trick, but just said: "Calling me senpai is too distant, just call me by my name."

Whenever Su Shi gets nervous, she will play with her fingers. Now she didn't react and did it subconsciously. And because Saki's hands feel so good, Su Shi didn't want to let go, so it became like this.

After hearing Saki's words, Suyo couldn't help but hold her breath. She had a very bold idea: "Then... can I call Konoe-senpai "Saki-chan"? "

She was so excited that she forgot that she had called Konoe Saki "Sister".

However, even if he remembered it, it might not be useful. Su Shi thought this address was very important and wanted to just bow down and make a request: Please!

This name is a bit too intimate, but it's not a big deal, so Saki replied, "It's okay, I won't use honorifics then, I'll just call her Suyo-chan."

"Yes! Or rather, it's a great honor!" Su Shi smiled happily. She actually wanted Saki to call her "Su Shi" directly, but she was a child who knew when to advance and when to retreat and was polite. Since the name of Xiao Saki had been decided, she would not worry about the issue of Su Shi and Xiao Su Shi.

Of course, this title actually concealed a little selfish motive from Su Shi: [God, please forgive my little greed. I just... just did the same thing I did with Xiao Mu and Xiao Deng. That... just this once.]

Of course she will revive Crychic until Xiangzi changes his mind. At least that's what Su Shi thinks now.

Meal replacements certainly can’t be eaten as meals, but you can take small bites of them.

"..." Ruo Yemu watched all this quietly, her golden pupils slightly dilated: she saw what Su Shi was thinking.

There was no way around it. The name "Sakichan" was completely revealing. It would be difficult for Ruoye Mu to pretend he didn't understand.

Wakaba Mu felt that Su Shi's behavior was very bad, but she couldn't speak up. She was worried that she would hurt Saki and Su Shi, so she could only lower her head and pretend to know nothing.

There were only three of them here, so Saki could certainly observe Wakaba Mu's situation. She didn't know why the girl lowered her head, but she could intervene. Even if she couldn't dispel the negative emotions shrouding the girl's heart, she could still express her concern and make her feel better.

Saki grabbed Wakaba Mutsu's hand and stroked the back of her hand with his thumb, causing her to raise her head subconsciously. The girl looked puzzled.

Su Shi noticed this, but didn't point it out. She just said, "Xiao Saki, the joint live performance is about to start. Let's go there quickly. We must take this opportunity to show off our Tsuki no Mori style!"

"Well, we want to use music to bring smiles to everyone's faces. Although this may sound a bit exaggerated, I still believe that the power of gathering together can shake the soul. Tonight, we are a group that plays music together and shares a destiny~"

“Believe in the power of belief.”

"...Yes!" Looking at Saki's eyes that had curved into two crescents, Su Shi felt that her heart skipped a beat and her answer was also a beat late.

Because she was thinking: [Fate...?]

Chapter 86 85.live

After receiving Saki's comfort, Su Shi felt much better. She was worried about the joint live, so she took the initiative to say goodbye to the two of them and went to join her classmates in the orchestra club.

After a while, someone Su Shi knew came over and asked with concern: "Su Shi, where did you go just now? Did something happen? Are you okay?"

"I'm a little nervous, but I'm fine now." Su Shi replied with a smile.

The good upbringing of a young lady came naturally.

Who could have imagined that she lived in a cramped little home during her elementary school years? Who could have imagined that this family had achieved a social leap in just a few years thanks entirely to her mother's hard work?

"Hey, I'm nervous too. How does Su Shi manage to stay calm? Please teach me, I really need your help. Just use Su Shi's unique skills!"

Su Shi was naturally happy to be trusted and relied upon by her friends. Normally, she would have directly and thoughtfully taught her friends how to relieve stress; but today was different; she wanted to keep this little secret.

Su Shi's expression remained normal, maintaining a gentle, caring, and considerate demeanor. He said, "Haha, it's not that exaggerated. Besides, it's not some special skill or anything. It's mainly about belief."

As he spoke, Su Shi placed his hand on his chest, his gentle expression becoming even gentler. "When I think of everyone in the orchestra being by my side, and how everyone has helped each other during this time, the nervousness disappears on its own. I guess this is the power of belief."

Seeing that her friend didn't seem to understand, Su Shi further explained: "Let's put it this way, as long as you think of our big sister in Tsuki no Mori, won't you feel a lot more at ease?" There was a hint of joking in her voice, but she hid this thought well in her heart.

She thought: [Sakichan belongs only to me...my anchor, so I won't let you bother her.]

"Oh, is that really the case?" The girl closed her eyes half-doubtfully, as if she was imagining such a scene; slowly, a blush appeared on her fair face.

Seeing this unexpected development, Su Shi couldn't hold it in any longer. She really wanted to ask: No, why are you blushing suddenly?

This is definitely weird, right?

Looking at her friend who suddenly became very strange, Su Shi felt that her decision to conceal something was the right thing to do and was very wise.

The other side of the backstage.

"Everyone, let's present the best music for this joint school festival and bring smiles to everyone, yeah~" Genjumaki Kokoro, who had already changed into her performance clothes, enthusiastically made the final mobilization before the performance.

Kitazawa Ikumi, who had long been accustomed to Genmaki Kokoro's enthusiasm, was the first to respond. Her short orange hair and energetic appearance easily reminded people of the agile posture of an athlete sweating in the sun.

"Hmm, let's kick off tonight with the tune played by the Great Demon Princess, and then... well..." The petite girl with her long purple hair tied into two ponytails suddenly got stuck. She forgot what the next cool (middle school) line was, so she continued with her normal speech, "Anyway, let's show everyone the coolest performance!"

"Uh qaq I...I will...do my best!" Asahi Rikka bowed repeatedly to the girls, fearing that she would hold everyone back.

She didn't know how she joined this makeshift band. She only remembered that the lead singer with blonde bangs grabbed her hand and asked, "Where's your smile?"

Then he asked her to form a temporary band, saying that he would take her to the most suitable stage and at the most appropriate time to issue special invitations to students from three girls' academies to form a band.

Although Asahi Rikka was encouraged by the "grand plan" that Genmaki Shin drew for her at that time, she still felt nervous.

"It's okay, Rikka's guitar skills are amazing, there will be absolutely no problem." The girl who also had twin tails, but her hair color was dark purple, gently patted Rikka Asahi's shoulder and encouraged her with a smile.

Although Futaba Chikushi herself was actually panicking, after all, it was her first time seeing a band with two drummers... but when she saw Asahi Rikka who was so nervous that she seemed to be crying, she still plucked up the courage and cheered the girl up.

"Everyone, let's form a circle." Xian Juanxin didn't think there was anything wrong with this combination, and the smile on her face didn't change at all.

Although a certain arranger behind the scenes has had stomachache expressions more than once because of this special combination.

"oh!""

After boosting their morale, the girls went on stage one by one, but just as Genmaki Shin was about to go on stage, Saki stopped her.

"Xiaosaki?" Genjumaki turned to look at her friend with a bright smile, "We will make everyone present feel happy from the bottom of their hearts~"

"Well, I believe it firmly, and I'm looking forward to Kokoro's performance. However, I'm still a little concerned, and I'd like to ask Kokoro to do me a favor." Saki had a faint smile on his face.

"?" Xian Juanxin blinked, then replied in a cheerful tone: "Okay~"

…The girl is singing and dancing…

"That's all for 'Wecan☆Come On, Come On' and the special new song 'United Happyland' brought to you by the three academies and HappyTiming. I'm Tsukushi Futaba, one of the drummers. Good evening, everyone."

Futaba Chikushi smiled and greeted the audience, but in reality, she was already sweating profusely: [Oops, I forgot to say "Greetings!"?]

Perhaps he was influenced by the lively atmosphere created by Xian Juanxin. Even though he had memorized his lines and was not particularly nervous when he spoke, he still said the wrong thing.

Futaba Chikushi could only force herself to keep smiling.

In the audience, Kurata Mashiro, who had made the same mistake at the Kyoto Music Festival, gave an awkward smile that said, "I get it," and said, "Chikushi-chan is just too nervous."

Thinking back, she was too nervous and accidentally said "Gui'an" instead of "Dajiahao", so she could particularly resonate with the words at this time.

"Kurata-san, that's your Morfonica's drummer, right? Speaking of which, won't Morfonica go on stage this time? This is our Tsuki no Mori's home ground, so she will definitely go on stage, not to mention that Kurata-san is so awesome." The girl sitting nearby noticed Kurata Mashiro and made an expectant sound.

"Eh? No...no, not really..." Being suddenly addressed, the socially awkward Mashiro Kurata was flustered and subconsciously frowned. But when a classmate she didn't even know said "so awesome", her self-confidence swelled rapidly, as if it would burst out of her chest at the next moment.

"Of course they did. They're amazing, even winning the Kyoto Music Festival," another person said. "Speaking of which, wasn't there a rumor that the new chairman was going to tighten control over the academy? It's said that she gave up on the idea because of Morfonica's huge success."

"Oh! I heard that too! Everyone at Morfonica, especially Kurata-san, is the great hero of our Moon Forest!"

Kurata Mashiro was immediately overwhelmed by the praise and almost fainted. Although she had heard similar words before, the happiness came too suddenly and she couldn't control herself.

Being praised by strangers, Kurata Mashiro's words became more coherent: "Compared to our predecessors, we Monica still have a long way to go. We will continue to work hard!"

The girl was being modest, but her words revealed an unconcealable joy. She smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, almost to the point where you couldn't even see the slits.

The girl's face was filled with a happy smile when she thought about being able to attend the Popipa 1st Anniversary Festival as a special guest and perform with everyone in Popipa.

The combination of two happy things will certainly bring a more wonderful and dreamy happy time!

Chapter 87 86. Wait and hope

After returning to the backstage, Asahi Rikka was still trembling with fear. She really didn't expect that she would actually give a speech to recruit teammates on such a memorable stage.

At this moment, Genmaki's smile caught the girl's sight. She placed her hands on Asahi Rikka's shoulders naturally and said, "How about making everyone smile together? It's very happy, isn't it?"

“…Yeah!” Asahi Rikka’s eyes were filled with tears. She clenched her fists and expressed her gratitude to the girls in an excited voice filled with anticipation: “It’s so great to meet you all.”

As she spoke, she raised her glasses and wiped away her tears of excitement with her sleeve.

She increasingly wanted to form a band and play music that belonged only to them with her teammates.

Seeing Asahi Rikka so excited, Genmaki Shin put her hands on her hips, kept a smile on her face, and kept her achievements and fame hidden.

On the stage, after singing the special new song specially prepared for this joint school festival, the pink-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief, because the next step was the most crucial one. She wanted to break through herself and didn't want to make any mistakes.

"Good evening everyone, I'm Su, um..." However, the more you care about something, the easier it is to make mistakes. Maruyama Aya accidentally bit her tongue and suffered a major failure in the hosting session.

Tsugumi Hanezawa took the initiative to take over the topic, successfully avoiding the embarrassment of a sudden interruption in hosting.

Shirae Chisei, in the audience, was already feeling embarrassed for Maruyama Aya. The blonde girl scowled, "Well, that's to be expected... Aya... should I say, worthy of being Aya?"

Wakamiya Eve, who was sitting next to Qiansheng, didn't think so. Her words were full of encouragement: "Are you having a hard time? It's okay. As long as Xiaocai can display the bushido spirit that she cultivated specifically for this purpose, everything will be fine."

The white-haired girl, her long white hair tied into two braids, clenched her fists, her deep blue eyes blazing with flames. Her brows revealed a resolute spirit that could easily shout "Bushido" at any moment.

It's hard to imagine that she's actually a mixed-race of Sakura and Finnish. If you don't know her, you might subconsciously assume that her ancestors were noble samurai.

"For that...haha, I don't think Xiao Cai is practicing tongue twisters to prevent biting her tongue. Rather..." Qian Sheng looked a little embarrassed: "She must be practicing tongue twisters to prevent biting her tongue and making mistakes."

Although I often don’t understand tongue twisters when I practice them.

Is it unbelievable? Miss Maruyama from Paspale is an excellent vocalist, but she always fails when hosting.

Even in daily live broadcasts, he would accidentally get something wrong while talking, which is really sad.

By the way, at an offline event shortly after Paspale's debut, Konoe Saki, who was wearing casual clothes, was mistaken for Maruyama Aya and was surrounded by Maruyama's loyal fans asking for autographs; Maruyama Aya, who had just changed out of her performance clothes, was confused and had a subtle expression of "about to cry".

From her debut to now, even when she walks on the street without makeup or costume, Maruyama Aya has never been recognized by fans. Instead, she has encountered several embarrassing situations where people mistook her for Konoe Saki.

After the band members introduced themselves, Maruyama Aya, having adjusted herself, took the microphone again. "Next up is a performance quintessentially Tsuki no Mori… No, rather, only Tsuki no Mori could offer something like this right now. I'm sure everyone, like me, has been eagerly anticipating this, excited and excited. Everyone, are you ready to experience the mystical charm of this century-old prestigious school?"

Should we say that she is a good idol and the lead singer of Paspalé? Maruyama Aya easily ignited the enthusiasm of the girls.

"Oh!"
