For the peace of the Lonely Band, please sacrifice yourself!

"The next one is Senior Mio." said Nakano Azusa.

"Ah, um..." Akiyama Mio was not as excited as imagined. Instead, she seemed a little resistant.

Everyone immediately gathered around Mio to check the photo.

"It feels timid." Zi Zhongli commented.

"It's the same expression again~" Lu Heshuo smiled knowingly.

"Mio's graduation photos are always taken very nervously."

"It's much better than before. At least I don't dodge the camera like I did when I was in elementary and junior high school."

"Don't compare that time with now! There must be a lot of growth... "

Akiyama Mio glared at Mochizuki Shuo in embarrassment and muttered to herself.

"Hey~ Are there any photos of Mio when she was a child? I really want to see them!" Hirasawa Yui was no longer satisfied with imagining it in her mind. Her big watery eyes twinkled, as if constantly emitting a curious light of 'wanting to know'.

"Hehe, of course there is~"

"Shuo!"

"Okay, then we can only do it next time." Mochizuki Saku shrugged and gave him a look that said 'I'm sorry but I'm helpless'. The next second he blinked and said in a very low voice: "Come to me next time you have a chance, and remember not to tell Mio."

"Uh-huh!"

Next it was Tsumugi's turn. With the sound of snapping, the blonde lady held her own photo, nodded appreciatively, and smiled with satisfaction.

Tian Zhongli was puzzled: "....Why do you puff up your face?"

Kotobuki Tsumugi explained, "Because I always had a very natural and lively expression when taking photos before, I wanted to take a more formal photo this time."

Hirasawa Yui shook her head: "Tsumugi, it's good enough as long as you stay natural and lively!"

Kotobuki Tsumugi asked uncertainly, "Really...?"

Akiyama Mio also agreed: "Yeah, the usual Tsumugi is fine."

Seeing her friends all saying so, Kotobuki Tsumugi naturally agreed:

"Well, then continue to be naturally lively!"

“Great! The lively Tsumugi is really Tsumugi~”

"Hey, thank you Xiao Wei——"

Kotobuki Tsumugi smiled and hugged Hirasawa Yui who rushed over to her.

"Then it's finally Senior Wei."

"Good~"

Hirasawa Yui responded, exchanged seats with Tsumugi, and sat on the wooden chair, facing the camera.

"Um, wait a minute." Wei said as he adjusted his hair a few times, tightened the tie in front of his chest, adjusted his posture and expression, and finally looked left and right and felt that there was nothing wrong. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and made an OK gesture to Zi.

The latter nodded, gently adjusted the angle of the phone, and looked at Senior Sister Wei who was staring at the camera seriously. He was stunned and couldn't help but marvel at the fact that the senior sister who was silent and serious actually looked like this, and immediately pressed the shutter.

The next second, "Puff——" the girl's crisp laughter rang out.

No, no, no, no, seeing this senior sitting in front of me, I don't know why my mind always remembers her eating snacks and drinking black tea, lazing around leisurely...

Nakano Azusa couldn't help laughing.

“Puchi——haha——”

"Really, A-Zi-nyan!"

Feeling offended, Hirasawa Yui frowned and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"The dog is dead, the dog is dead...I won't do it again next time." Nakano Azusa immediately put away the smile on her face and took another photo of Senior Sister Wei.

“Well, this is a good shot~”

Tian Zhongli took a deep breath and made an unbelievable sound:

"Is this really Wei?!"

Wang Yueshuo leaned over, rubbed his chin, and said clearly:

“This one is a bit too much.”

Akiyama Mio was also surprised and said, "At first glance, he looks like a very serious student."

Kotobuki Tsumugi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Mio with some confusion: "Um...is this something I should complain about?"

They were whispering to each other, and Hirasawa Wei was still frowning and looking at herself in the photo. Her expression was quite calm. Then, as if a sharp sword had cut through the dark and gloomy sky, a light flashed in her mind, and her clear and bright eyes immediately shone with light.

"Are your bangs a little long?"

If the girl didn't make a sound, it would be fine, but when she did, it was shocking.

Everyone's eyes fell on the girl's bangs as she fiddled with them.

"Not at all."

Zi doesn't think so. Instead, she thinks that Senior Wei is already very beautiful and charming.

But Wei was very stubborn, shook his head and said seriously: "Yes, it is a little bit long."

"Is there?" Mio tilted her head. She didn't see any difference.

“Cut it off!”

"Eh....?"

Under the astonished gaze of everyone, Hirasawa Wei made a resolute decision.

“A professional hairstylist should have the courage to make judgments!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Hirasawa Yui pulled out a pair of pink scissors without hesitation, which she had taken out from some corner. Her efficiency and speed were so high that Lu subconsciously thought how nice it would be if she could do the same when doing homework during the holidays.

The corners of Wang Yueshuo's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Do you think you are?"

"Wei, calm down!"

"Please wait a moment!"

Akiyama Mio and Nakano Azusa also quickly reached out to stop her, and the latter even hugged Yui's slender waist tightly.

Kotobuki Tsumugi carefully and calmly took the scissors back from Hirasawa Yui's hand and reminded her seriously: "Xiaowei, if you want to get your hair cut, it's best to go to a hair salon. It's better to have the help of a professional than to act rashly on your own."

"Yeah, they'll just cut your bangs short for you!"

"But when I go to the hair salon, my hair is always cut too short. It only feels better after a week. But I'm taking graduation photos tomorrow, and my hair won't grow longer that quickly." She frowned slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of worry, and she sighed helplessly.

Ritsu continued, "In that case, at least let Tsumugi help you cut it!"

Upon hearing her own name, Kotobuki Tsumugi was startled and turned around suddenly:

"Hey?! Can I handle such a difficult task?"

"It doesn't matter. Sometimes I cut my hair myself, so I'm more or less confident..."

Having said this, Hirasawa Yui picked up the scissors again and gestured at her bangs a few times. She cut a few times with some hesitation, and the strands of brown hair fell silently. Instead, Mochizuki Saku and the other five were hiding several steps behind her, staring at her nervously.

"How is it?" Hirasawa Yui blinked and asked.

“Isn’t it great?” Kotobuki Tsumugi was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Yui’s next words—“Well…it’s still a little too long.”

"Huh?" Ritsu and Mio were startled.

Do you want to trim it again?

Kotobuki Tsumugi and Nakano Azusa widened their eyes, but they were still unable to utter the words to stop him.

Accompanied by a loud sneeze and a subtle sound of scissors,

The next moment, the girl's flowing and smooth bangs completely disappeared.

Now, the crowd became even more nervous, and even their breathing unconsciously slowed down and became lighter, not daring to make a sound. They glanced dumbfoundedly at the large pieces of hair scattered on the table, and then looked at Hirasawa Yui who was rubbing her nose with her hand.

Wei, who knew nothing about this, calmly picked up the mirror, wanting to check if she needed to trim her hair again. But she soon stopped thinking about these little things, because the mirror clearly projected the girl's hairstyle at the moment into her watery almond eyes.

Ah...who is this?

Looking at the girl in the mirror who had lost her complete bangs, Hirasawa Yui blinked stupidly.

Then, she touched her bangs which had disappeared belatedly, and the smile on her face froze. It took only a moment for Hirasawa Yui to realize what had happened, and she immediately let out a scream that pierced the sky.

"what!"

In the warm activity room, Saku, Mio, Ritsu, Azusa, and Tsumugi were shivering and sweating. The girl at the opposite table seemed to be standing in the biting cold wind, shivering all over. She was very nervous and had to look up to ask her friends, "We cut too much... What... What's wrong?"

"Well...well...it's...very good..." Mio didn't know what to say or what to say. Her eyes were wandering and she spoke casually.

Wang Yueshuo tried his best to suppress the upward curve of his lips: "It's a juvenile that I've never seen before... ahem... a brand new look."

Kotobuki Tsumugi clenched her fists in front of her chest and said firmly, "It fits very well!"

Tian Zhongli, with a guilty conscience, praised loudly, "It's so cute!"

Nakano Azusa also answered in a panic: "Yeah, rather than saying I've become younger..."

"It's better to say that you've become like a child..." Azusa's words of comfort took on other meanings and were interpreted by Wei. Hirasawa Wei continued speaking, the look of loss and panic on her face becoming more intense.

Amateur Nakano Azusa let out a mournful cry of “Wuwaaa” and fell to the ground in agony, unable to get up again.

Akiyama Mio hurriedly tried to make amends: "Ah, but it feels good to cut there..."

Hirasawa Yui: "Does that mean it's a done deal?"

Akiyama Mio cried out in pain, “Ahhhh!” and grabbed Mochizuki Saku’s arm, falling backwards together with him.

Her thin shoulders trembled slightly, and crystal tears overflowed from the red corners of her eyes. Soon, the tears slid down Hirasawa Yui's cheeks like beads that had broken off a string, passed through the tip of her nose, and finally dripped onto the lapel of her dark school uniform.

Hirasawa Yui burst into tears.

“Graduation photos…photos that will be kept for a lifetime…”

Tianzhong Ritsu took off her headband and said, "Cover it up, cover it up with this!"

With tears in her eyes, Hirasawa Yui raised her hand and refused without hesitation:

"No, it's just my forehead that I don't want to show."

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

Tianzhong Ritsu, who was speaking with gritted teeth, was also defeated by Yui's sincere attack and covered his chest in pain.

In the end, the only one standing on the field was Miss Kotobuki. After looking at Yui's new hairstyle and thinking for a moment, she said seriously: "Well... it might look better if you comb it a little to the side." The blonde beauty took the comb handed to her by Hirasawa Yui and immediately began to remedy this bad hairstyle.

After a while, the combing work was completed. Miss Kotobuki looked at it carefully and nodded with satisfaction. "See, it's much better now, right?" She held up the mirror and showed it to Hirasawa Yui.

Wei looked in the mirror, then turned to look at Lu, and asked uncertainly:

"Now...what about it?"

The girl's tone was nervous, yet full of anticipation.

Tian Zhongli nodded seriously: "Yes, very good, very good."

Akiyama Mio praised: "She has become even cuter."

Nakano Azusa nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Hirasawa Yui still couldn't believe it, "Really...really?"

"Of course. Not only has it become cute, it also looks elegant." Mochizuki Shuo gave a thumbs up and praised generously.

"I see..." Hirasawa Yui finally smiled with joy.

"Come and have some tea, then."

Tianzhong Ritsu felt relieved and said easily.

Kotobuki Tsumugi also responded with a smile: "Well, I also prepared chestnut cake here today, let's eat it together."

When she heard about delicious food, Hirasawa Wei's eyes immediately lit up, and the corners of her lips slightly raised, revealing a smile of expectation and surprise. She seemed to have forgotten the troubles and pain just now, and was completely immersed in the yearning for the delicious cake.

"Chestnut cake?! Great! I want to eat it!"
