Love? Please allow me to simulate it first!

"Come to think of it, Mio came over just now and called us to practice, and she seemed to be very panicked." Nakamura Mine recalled Akiyama Mio's previous performance, but there was no sign of nervousness in her words.

"Then why don't you go quickly!" Ijichi Hinikaka didn't know what to say at this time. In her impression, although Muramine had a somewhat eccentric personality, he was still very dedicated to the performance. How come he became so unreliable when he joined the light music club?

In fact, what Ijichi Kouka didn't know was that Nakamura Mine was not unconcerned about the performance of the light music club, but was too confident in the light music club. He always had a feeling that even though their club usually drank tea and chatted, they would be able to do well when the time came. This confidence came half from the experience in the simulation and half from his own intuition.

"Well, although we want to go too, the work hasn't been completed yet." Hirasawa Yui said with embarrassment. In fact, if you really count, she was the one who practiced the most diligently for this live performance, which can be seen from her now hoarse voice.

"There's really nothing we can do about you. Okay, leave this to us. Go and practice some more." Ijichi Hongxia said as she rolled up her sleeves. However, when Yamada Ryo, who was still waiting for fried noodles next to her, heard her say that, he immediately made an unhappy sound.

"Huh? Again?"

"Although I don't know how to make fried noodles, I will help attract customers!" Kita Ikuyo said enthusiastically.

"I, I'll do my best too!"

"Eh~? Even Pochi?" Yamada Ryo, who had hoped that Goto Ichiri would stand on the same side with him, was ruthlessly betrayed.

"Everyone..." Hirasawa Yui looked at her friends who were ending the band with great emotion.

"But..." Nakamura Feng looked embarrassed. Everyone thought he still had some concerns, but unexpectedly, his next sentence was:

"I practiced for a long time to prepare this fried noodle dish. I feel like I've missed out on only getting halfway done."

"If you have that much time, you should practice more! Go now!"

"Yes."

Under pressure from the captain to take charge, Nakamura Mine quickly pulled Hirasawa Yui and ran out to find Tianzhong Ritsu and the others.

After arriving in front of Tainaka Ritsu and learning that she and Kotobuki Tsumugi were still unable to leave, Nakamura Mine went back to find Kita Ikuyo and Goto Ichiri to take over the shift for a while. Kita Ikuyo was already familiar with the job of selling tickets, and Goto Ichiri was like he had found his vocation when it came to playing the role of a ghost.

However, Nakamura Mine still felt somewhat embarrassed, especially towards Liang and Nijixia. After all, they had clearly come to have fun whether they went to Ichiri's school or came to their place, but in the end it turned into voluntary labor. So he still treated them to a good meal, but that's a story for later.

Chapter 258 Clothing

The four of them came to the door of the light music department upstairs together, but they were the first to discover Akiyama Mio who was practicing singing alone. They smiled at each other, then waited for Akiyama Mio to finish singing before Tianzhong Ritsu took the lead in pushing open the door.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Mio!" Tianzhong Ritsu shouted with great momentum.

"Eh?!" Akiyama Mio was a little frightened by the sudden noise and turned around to see her companions walking in.

"I'm sorry for leaving you to practice alone."

"I'm here to practice too."

"That one just sang really well."

"Everyone..." Akiyama Mio was a little surprised when she saw her companions who were all busy with things just now but suddenly appeared together. She felt like an empty-nest elderly person who found that his children suddenly came home together.

"Too slow..."

After some practice...

"Hmm~ It's okay, right?" After practicing for a while, Tianzhong Ritsu had a rough idea in her mind. She felt that there shouldn't be any big problems performing in this state, but the prerequisite was that their lead singer would not be too stage fright.

"Yeah! It's perfect." Kotobuki Tsumugi was also very satisfied with the performance just now.

"Mio, are you okay?" Nakamura Mine couldn't help but ask as he looked at Akiyama Mio who still looked worried.

"Eh? Um... um..." Akiyama Mio led the way, but seeing her so uneasy it was hard not to worry.

"Everyone is here~" Yamanaka Sawako suddenly pushed open the door, as if she had just arrived, but in fact she had been leaning against the wall at the door while the light music club was performing.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" Hirasawa Wei asked.

"Hehe, although it's not voluntary, but since I'm the advisor of the light music club, I was thinking if there's any way I can help." Yamanaka Sawako showed a mysterious expression, and then suddenly took out several very beautiful dresses from behind her.

“I made clothes for you~”

"That's really exciting!" Tian Zhongli exclaimed. After all, these clothes didn't look like they could be made quickly. Yamanaka Sawako had work to do but she was still able to rush them out. She must be really hardworking. However, she noticed that Akiyama Mio was completely stunned next to her, and said helplessly:

"Teacher, although we are very grateful for your kindness, but..." Tianzhong Ritsu pointed at Akiyama Mio who was trembling beside him.

"Should I wear that kind of clothes in front of so many people..."

"Well... don't you like this dress..." Yamanaka Sawako said regretfully, and Akiyama Mio nodded desperately when she saw that there was still hope.

"What do you think of my old clothes?" Yamanaka Sawako took out the demon mask she used when she was in a band. No one knew why she brought this thing with her.

"As expected, I still want the dress I wore just now!" There was no need to compare too much. Akiyama Mio felt that the dress she wore just now was more acceptable.

"Well, teacher, although I don't really want to wear it, why did you bring only women's clothes? There are even nurse uniforms and swimsuits..." Nakamura Mine asked after looking at the four identical skirts.

"Ah, Xiaofeng, yours is here." Yamanaka Sawako took out a box that looked quite high-end from somewhere. After opening it, she saw a suit with fine workmanship.

"Hmm? This can't possibly be made by you, Sensei?"

"Of course not. I originally bought this as a gift for a male friend with whom I've had a somewhat ambiguous relationship recently. But a few days ago I found out that he's already married..." As she spoke, Yamanaka Sawako's tone became tearful.

"Okay! Let's end this topic here!" Nakamura Mine quickly stopped Teacher Yamanaka Sawako who seemed to be planning to complain for a long time.

"Haha...Xiao Feng, your figure is similar to that guy's, so I just took it..."

"Stop reminiscing about this!"

Nakamura Mine was very puzzled. How could a woman like Yamanaka Sawako, who had outstanding looks and a decent job, be so unpopular with the opposite sex?

After a burst of noise, it was Yamanaka Sawako who was coaxed into leaving by the students. They practiced a few more times while it was still early. After that, they went back to the classroom to thank and say goodbye to the four members of the band who helped them. After all, they also had to go to Xiuhua High School to make some preparations first. Nakamura Mine also gave his keyboard to Goto Ichiri, asking her to help set it up. If they could make it in time, it would save some time.

"Then let's take this to the auditorium." Tianzhong Ritsu handed the loudspeaker to Hirasawa Yui, but even with both hands, it was still a bit heavy for Hirasawa Yui. She walked crookedly all the way, which made people feel insecure, fearing that she would fall and get hurt.

"Wei, leave this to me. Just help me carry the guitar." Nakamura Mine took the loudspeaker directly from Hirasawa Wei's hand, felt it in his hand, and didn't feel it was very heavy. However, it was indeed difficult for a girl like Hirasawa Wei to carry it all the way to the auditorium.

"Thank you, Xiaofeng is worthy of being a boy." Just as Hirasawa Yui said this, he saw Kotobuki Tsumugi, who was also a girl, walking past him while humming a tune with a leisurely look on her face while holding a bigger speaker. There was not a drop of sweat on her forehead.

"sha-lan-la~sha-lan-la~"

......

"And and..."

When she arrived at the backstage of the auditorium, Hirasawa Yui immediately noticed her childhood sweetheart who was reporting something to the student council president.

"Ah, Wei, Feng, we're still acting now, just put what you brought over there first."

"understood."

"OK."

"Next is the chorus club, and after that is the light music club. Yes, the equipment has been moved in..." After giving instructions to Hirasawa Yui, Manabe Kazu turned back to report to her superior. But to be honest, if they didn't know in advance that the girl with long orange hair next to her was the student council president, anyone would think that Manabe Kazu looked more like the president. After all, Kazu has the aura of a superior like a class monitor or president.

(It’s finally here!)

Hearing the name of the light music club, Hirasawa Yui couldn't help but get excited. Unlike the worried Akiyama Mio, she had been eager to try it out.

Chapter 259 Childhood Sweethearts

Because the previous performance and chorus would not be over for a while, after moving the equipment, Hirasawa Yui and Nakamura Mine returned to the light music department first. As soon as they returned, they smelled the fragrant aroma of black tea and the cookies and other snacks that had been placed in place.

"Ah~ Finally finished moving~" Although the heaviest part was moved by Nakamura Mine and Kotobuki Tsumugi, even so, after running back and forth several times, Hirasawa Yui was still so tired that she sat down straight against the gate.

"Thank you for your hard work." Seeing that Hirasawa Yui seemed to have run out of energy before the performance even started, Tianzhong Ritsu came over and gave her an encouraging smile. After all, if there was one thing that was the most troublesome to get going, it would naturally be her beloved drum set.

"You three, the tea is ready."

“Wow~ As expected of Tsumugi!”

Kotobuki Tsumugi's voice immediately awakened the exhausted Hirasawa Yui, who stood up straight and cheered. Nakamura Mine was very conscious and sat at her position early. As for why Akiyama Mio was not present, in fact, Tiananaka Ritsu didn't even dare to let her do the moving work. After all, if she looked absent-minded, she might drop things anywhere and no one would notice, so Tiananaka Ritsu simply let her go to change her mood.

"Ritsu-chan and Mio-chan are childhood sweethearts who grew up together, right?"

Although it was the tense time before the performance, the four members of the light music club were drinking tea and chatting here as if it was a matter of course, as if all the pressure of the team was borne by the only one who was not present.

"Yes."

"When did you start being together?" Hirasawa Yui asked curiously. She herself also has a childhood sweetheart, Manabe Kazu, with whom she has been together since kindergarten, but for her, having each other around is just the most normal thing, so she is also a little curious about how Tianzhong Ritsu and Akiyama Mio, two people with such different personalities, can become such good friends.

"Of course we've been together since kindergarten...eh?" As Tianzhong Ritsu spoke, his tone suddenly became unconfident.

"Hmm...? Or did it start in elementary school?"

"Hey, hey~ Did you grow up together?" Hirasawa Yui complained about Tiananaka Ritsu's unreliable memory. After all, she clearly remembered that He He was by her side when they were in kindergarten, so she won this round.

"Has Xiao Mio been shy since she was a child?" Hirasawa Yui continued to ask.

"Yes, at that time I..." Tianzhong Ritsu entered the reminiscence mode and narrated, she imitated her childhood tone and said:

“‘Wow~ What beautiful hair~! Ahaha~’ He said…”

“‘That’s amazing! You’re left-handed! Ahahahahaha! That’s amazing! Everyone listen to me, Mio is amazing!’ That’s what I said.”

"Her face turned red with embarrassment, hahaha~"

"No! Even if it wasn't Mio, anyone would feel embarrassed if they were treated like that..." The reason why Nakamura Mine and Akiyama Mio were so cruel to Tianzhong Ritsu was to avenge the arrow they shot at him in their childhood.

"By the way, Xiaofeng and Xiaoyi have known each other for a long time, right?" Hirasawa Yui suddenly turned the topic to Nakamura Mine.

"Hmm? Not really. We became familiar with each other more than a year ago. At that time, I wanted to find her to learn from Ji. It was also at that time that I met Ritsu and Mio for the first time. They regarded me as a suspicious person." Nakamura Mine also thought of the situation when he first crossed over. Now thinking about it, it was really such a coincidence. If he had not been interested in Goto Ichiri at that time, his life would probably be very different now. Even if he still came to Sakuragaoka to attend high school, he would not have too much intersection with the light music club.

"Eh? What's going on? What's going on?"

Hearing about this incident, Tianzhong Ritsu also recalled the scene at that time and couldn't help but chuckle. She still remembered the latter's exaggerated expression when Nakamura Mine was chasing Goto Ichiri. At that time, she and Akiyama Mio almost called the police first. However, Hirasawa Yui, who knew nothing about this, asked anxiously, and Kotobuki Tsumugi, who had been listening quietly, also showed an expression of interest in this matter.

Seeing that Hirasawa Yui and Kotobuki Tsumugi were so interested, Nakamura Mine just told them what he could about what happened at that time. Of course, it was a "slightly" beautified version. As for the fact that he used Goto Ichiri's identity as a "guitar hero" to threaten the other party, he did not mention a word. Tianzhong Ritsu also complained about how much Nakamura Mine's image at that time looked like a pervert who was following them.

"At that time, Feng had long bangs and was desperately chasing Goto-san from behind, and Goto-san was also..."

"What? You two actually considered calling the police first? That was a close call..."

"Hahaha......"

The more they talked, the happier they became. However, Nakamura Mine was still a little frightened. Fortunately, Tian Zhongli and the others did not really call the police at that time, otherwise he would have been socially dead. After all, Goto Ichiri really thought that he was going to bully her at that time. No one could explain this matter clearly, and the more they explained, the worse it would be.

"Have all the equipment been moved~?" Akiyama Mio pushed the door open and walked in. It seemed that everything had returned to normal.

"Ah, Mio~"

"Oh? You look pretty calm~" Tianzhong Ritsu felt a little relieved when she saw Akiyama Mio sitting in her seat with a look of peace of mind. Although she didn't show it, she was still worried about the condition of her childhood sweetheart.

"Hmm?" Akiyama Mio questioned what Tianzhong Ritsu said.

"Okay, please have some." Kotobuki Tsumugi very considerately placed the poured tea in front of Akiyama Mio. Although she was not wearing a maid uniform, her movements were like those of a real maid. This was probably because she had seen it so many times that she naturally learned it.

"Originally I didn't want to be the lead singer~"

"You're not a child anymore. You can't keep being so nervous..." She said this with a relaxed expression, but Akiyama Mio's hands holding the teacup began to shake violently as if there was a magnitude 10 earthquake.

(Isn't this still a nervous mess...)

The other four members of the light music club complained in their hearts at the same time.

"We're about to get serious. What are you going to do now?"

Facing everyone's worried gazes, Akiyama Mio fell into silence for more than ten seconds, then lowered her head and suddenly said:

"I can't stand it anymore..."

Chapter 260 MC

"Feng, you should be the lead singer!" Akiyama Mio suddenly clasped her hands together and prayed to Nakamura Feng.

"Eh? I told you that the lyrics you wrote, Mio, are too girly. It's not appropriate for a man like me to do this." Nakamura Mine didn't expect that Akiyama Mio would want to go back on her word when she got close to him, but he really couldn't do it. He really couldn't sing lyrics like "DouKi DouKi" or "Holding my beloved little rabbit" on the stage.

"Then change the song!!"

"No... no matter what, it can't be changed now..." Nakamura Mine showed a helpless expression.

"Ritsu! Then you sing it!" Seeing that Nakamura Mine didn't work, Akiyama Mio placed her hope on Tiananaka Ritsu.

"Who should play the drum?"

"I'll knock for you!"

"What about Beth?!"

“I’ll do that too!”

"What the hell! Why don't you make one for me?"

"Lil~Lil~!"

Akiyama Mio, who was already nervous and talking nonsense, hugged Tianzhong Ritsu's thighs and started to act coquettishly.
