Glacier sister, don't want to be a sandwich

"...That's not very likely." Yue Ge sighed softly, with a hint of regret in his tone.

Ichigaya Yusaki noticed the emotion in Yuege's words, and her brows involuntarily frowned slightly. She asked in confusion, "Is the relationship between your sisters so bad?"

Yue Ge shook her head slightly, "Well... it's not just bad."

The atmosphere at the table grew somewhat oppressive, the air heavy. Yue Ge was clearly aware of this, and she quickly glanced at the others, trying to break the sudden silence.

So, she suddenly smiled gently, with a hint of warmth in the corners of her eyes, and took the initiative to bring up the topic: "Let's not talk about my affairs, there's nothing to say anyway."

"Why don't you tell me more about Arisaki-senpai? Arisaki-senpai doesn't have a complicated family like me. What interesting things happened when you were a kid? For example, how did you get into music?"

Arisaki was a little surprised: "Huh? Why are you suddenly talking about me?..."

Of course she knew that Yue Ge was trying to change the subject, but considering the vulnerable side Yue Ge had just revealed, it was not easy to throw the subject back. Besides Yue Ge, the other members had only just met, so it was not easy to communicate.

She had no choice but to say, "I went to a music school in elementary school and learned piano for a while, and then I just kept practicing out of habit."

Unexpectedly, her words aroused Yue Ge's interest. Yue Ge's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had discovered some new treasure.

Her tone was filled with excitement and curiosity, and her expression became particularly lively: "Then... does Arisaki-senpai have any knowledge of music theory?"

Arisaki was stunned for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

She didn't quite understand Yuege's sudden interest in music theory, and wondered what Yuege was up to. "Eh... well... I do have it."

Tsukuge closed the distance between her and Arisaki even further, her eyes sparkling, her tone thick with anticipation. "Then Arisaki-senpai... could you teach me some arranging knowledge? Although my older sisters at home taught me a lot of music theory, they have no arranging experience, so I don't quite understand a lot of what they say."

"Please, teacher!" Yuege clasped her hands together and begged Yousaki.

Yusaki froze for a moment, frowning slightly, barely daring to believe what she was hearing. "Huh?" She looked at Yuege with some confusion, having completely unexpectedly shifted to a discipleship phase. This...this was too sudden, wasn't it?

Yue Ge's sincerity almost made her feel a little overwhelmed, but seeing Yue Ge's serious expression, and thinking that she had not had such happiness with friends for a long time, her heart couldn't help but soften.

Her face flushed slightly.

"Really..." She looked away slightly, but with a hint of tsundere expression on her face, "Let me make it clear first! I'm very strict! If you want me to teach you, you have to be prepared for my strict teaching!"

Upon hearing this, Yuege almost jumped up with excitement, her eyes shining like stars. "Great!" She rushed over without hesitation and hugged Ichigaya Yusaki tightly, with a bright smile on her face. "Thank you so much, Yusaki-senpai!"

This sudden hug caught Arisaki completely off guard, and she, who had been calm, froze in silence.

Two blushes quickly appeared on her face and her eyes flickered a few times. She didn't know how to respond.

"Really... I told you I'm not good at dealing with people like this..." Arisaki sighed silently in his heart, and the redness on his face deepened.

"No, no... In this case, there is no way for me to quit the band, right?" A sense of alarm suddenly flashed through her mind, and she vaguely felt that she was trapped by Yue Ge.

Just as she was getting a little flustered, Hachiman Kailing returned to the table with a large plate of curry rice. Looking at Tsukune hugging Ichigaya Yusaki, she couldn't help but smile: "It seems like I missed a lot..."

"It's okay!" Yuege released the hand that was holding Arisaki and looked up at Hachiman Kailing, "It's just that our band finally has someone who can arrange music."

"That's really cause for celebration!" Hai Ling replied with a smile. She placed the plates on the table and distributed them to each person one by one with quick movements.

Although her tone was joking, there was a hint of relief in her eyes. It was obvious that she was also happy that the band was gradually getting on the right track.

Yue Ge held the cup and smiled brightly: "Then let's toast to celebrate our band getting back on track..."

She raised the cup filled with drink in her hand, her eyes bright and filled with a long-lost sense of happiness.

"Cheers!" Everyone responded in unison, their tone full of ease and joy, as if all the confusion and uneasiness at this moment were temporarily left behind.

Although Ichigaya Yusaki muttered to himself, "Really... I haven't even expressed my feelings yet..."

But she still couldn't help but raise her cup and gently touch it to other people's cups.

Chapter 123: Skipping class!

School festivals, beaches, hot springs, festivals, sports meets...

In countless youth stories, these keywords have almost become indispensable classic plots, and among them, the school festival is undoubtedly the most representative carnival in the student stage.

For the community, this is the highlight of the year.

Whether it is the light music department, drama department, art department, or dance department, each club has brought out its own unique skills and strived to shine on this day.

The band members played passionately on the stage, the actors of the drama club performed passionately on the stage with gorgeous scenery, and the members of the tea ceremony club wore kimonos and elegantly served the guests fragrant matcha.

Students who are willing to demonstrate their skills often receive admiration and cheers from their classmates on this day, and may even have the opportunity to change the trajectory of their youth.

For the students in the "Go Home Department" who do not participate in any clubs, this is also a rare period of free time.

They can leisurely wander among the stalls, savor the takoyaki, crepes, and fried noodles carefully prepared by their seniors, or hide in a quiet corner, sipping iced cola and enjoying the long-lost relaxation.

Not to mention the various fun mini-game booths - ring tossing, shooting, haunted house challenges, and even some "Prince Cafe" and "Maid Cafe" carefully planned by some classes. Whether you want to experience extraordinary fun or simply spend a happy time with friends, you can find the way that suits you best here.

------------

Today, the school gate was busier than usual, with crowds of people thronging and laughter echoing. Colorful banners hung on both sides of the gate, signaling the official start of the school festival.

The colorful flags hanging high sway gently in the breeze, and the air is filled with the mixed aroma of candy, barbecue and takoyaki, making people immersed in the festive atmosphere before even setting foot on the campus.

In the crowd, students in school uniforms walked in groups of three or four. Some excitedly pulled their parents to introduce the school's activities, while others couldn't wait to rush to the stalls to feast.

Young parents brought cameras and took pictures of their children's bright smiles while reminiscing about their own student days, while the elderly grandpa and grandma nearby strolled leisurely on the campus with gentle smiles on their faces, feeling the youthful vigor.

"Wow, even though this isn't my first time here, I still have to say there are so many people!"

Yue Ge was swept up by the crowd and pushed forward all the way until she finally broke free from the crowd. She breathed a sigh of relief and tidied up her clothes which were a little messed up.

Just then, a familiar voice gently called her name.

"Moon Song..."

She turned around suddenly and saw the familiar figure of Xiaodeng, and beside her stood her parents.

"Uncle and aunt are here too!" Yue Ge's eyes lit up, a bright smile appeared on her face, and she waved to greet Gao Song and his wife.

Gao Songguang smiled brightly, his tone full of pride and anticipation: "Of course! This is Xiao Deng's first stage performance in a long time. We took time off specially to come here so that we can take some good pictures of her as a souvenir."

Gao Songdeng lowered his head slightly, a blush on his cheeks, and murmured softly: "Mom, don't say it..."

Yue Ge looked at Xiao Deng who was accompanied by his family, and felt inexplicably warm in her heart.

At this moment, Xiao Deng suddenly noticed that Yue Ge's family was nowhere to be found, so he asked curiously, "Didn't Yue Ge's family come?"

"Ah... they probably won't arrive until the afternoon." Yue Ge shrugged and said helplessly, "After all, Yu Qiu and Hana are still in class this morning. They won't have time to come until after the holiday."

"So that's how it is..." Xiao Deng nodded slightly, with a hint of understanding in his eyes.

Seeing this, Yue Ge patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "It's okay, they will definitely come to watch anyway! Then I can show Sister Sayo the true strength of my band!"

Xiao Deng smiled gently, with a hint of gentle support in her eyes: "Well, Yue Ge will definitely be able to do it."

However, Yue Ge shook her head slightly, with a confident and bright smile on her lips.

"That's not right!" She suddenly stretched out her hand and gently held Xiao Deng's hand. The warmth of her palm was transmitted through her fingertips, bringing with it a familiar warmth and strength.

"We can definitely do it!"

————————————————————

In the classroom of the junior high school of Hanaoka Girls' Academy, sunlight streams through the window onto the desks, and the air is filled with the faint sound of chalk scratching across the blackboard.

Hikawa Hina rested her chin on her hand, her fingers tapping unconsciously on the table as her gaze drifted out the window. The teacher's explanation flowed past her ears like background noise, not lingering in her mind at all.

"Ah... It's so boring. I don't listen to the class at all..." She puffed up her cheeks slightly and frowned slightly, like a listless little animal.

Her eyes fell on the playground outside the window. Looking at the students playing freely, her heart became more and more restless.

"I really want to skip classes and attend Yuege's school festival..." She muttered softly, her heart had already drifted out of the classroom and towards that more lively and interesting place.

She imagined Yue Ge standing on the stage, playing the guitar excitedly, with cheers coming from the audience, while she was trapped in this boring classroom.

Hinai puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, sighed secretly, and the pen in her hand turned aimlessly on the notebook.

"Well... otherwise, why not..." A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes, as if she suddenly had some whimsical idea.

--------------

Of course, Hikawa Hina is not the only one who has this idea.

In the classroom of the junior high school department of Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy, the teacher's voice echoed in her ears, but Hikawa Sayo's attention had already drifted away.

"Even though Tsukika said the performance is in the afternoon... we can still make it if we go after school..."

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but an inexplicable uneasiness welled up in her heart.

She had always been a well-behaved student and had never slacked off in her studies, but today, she was extremely confused.

She held the pen tightly in her hand, her fingertips turning slightly white, and she was struggling internally.

"But... can we really wait until after school?"

Her brows furrowed slightly, her slender fingers slowly loosened the pen, and her eyes fell out the window.

The morning sun shone on the playground and reflected on her desk through the glass. She could even imagine Yue Ge busy making preparations.

One second, two seconds, three seconds - she finally made a decision.

Bingchuan Shaye took a deep breath and slowly raised her hand. Her movements were neither hurried nor slow, but revealed a sense of determination.

"Teacher." Her voice was as calm as ever, but a hint of nervousness was hidden in her tone. "I'm feeling a little unwell and would like to go to the infirmary."

The teacher at the podium frowned and paused for a moment, but when he saw that the student who raised her hand was Hikawa Sayo, his original doubts instantly dissipated. After all, as an excellent student in the class, she would never skip classes without reason.

"Ah... Is Bingchuan sick?" The teacher's tone immediately softened and he nodded. "Take care of yourself. Come back soon."

After getting permission, Saya stood up and gently adjusted the corner of her clothes, her movements as dignified and steady as ever.

However, the moment she stepped out of the classroom, her fingertips curled up slightly and she breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned around to look at the teacher who was giving the lecture and said silently in her heart, "Sorry... only this time."

The discipline committee member of the future flower girl actually skipped class

But maybe this is the tradition of Hanasakigawa

Chapter 124 School Festival

Hikawa Sayo stood at the subway entrance, looking at the figure in front of her who was running towards her with a smile on his face and waving his hands, with a helpless expression on his face.

Sure enough, she knew it—this guy must have slipped out too.

"elder sister--!"

The next second, Hikawa Hina pounced over and rushed into her arms like an energetic little animal.

Saya instinctively wanted to dodge, but when she caught a glimpse of Hina's defenseless smiling face, her body subconsciously froze for a moment - if she dodged, would Hina fall directly to the ground?

She frowned slightly, but finally chose to stretch out her hand and steadily caught her sister who was rushing towards her.

"Hina, you..." She was about to say something, but Hina in her arms hugged her tightly, rubbed her cheek against her shoulder, and smiled happily: "Hehe, sister also sneaked out, right?"

Saya's body stiffened slightly, then she coughed softly and retorted awkwardly, "I didn't sneak out... I just felt a little unwell, and the teacher allowed me to go to the infirmary."

Hinata raised her head, blinked her blue eyes, and gave a sly smile: "Then why is my sister standing at the subway entrance?"

"..." Saya's fingertips curled slightly, she looked away, gently pushed Hinata away, and said stubbornly, "Then...what about you? You skipped class, didn't you?"

"Hey—I took a leave of absence with integrity!" Hinata raised her chin proudly. "My grades are so good, it won't affect my ability to attend Tsukuge's school festival."

Saya glared at her, her lips slightly parted, but in the end she didn't say anything more. Instead, she sighed softly, rubbed her forehead, and turned around helplessly: "... Let's go, hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to catch Yuege's performance later."

Hinata smiled and took her sister's arm, keeping up with her steps briskly, her sparkling eyes full of teasing smiles: "Hey~ Tsukuga's performance is still early. Sister Sayo is going so early, you really want to see little Tsukuga sooner, right?"

Saya's steps paused slightly, she turned her head and replied in a cold tone: "Don't talk too much."

But the tips of her ears unconsciously turned a light red, revealing her true emotions.

Hinata noticed this and immediately became interested. She tilted her head and looked at her sister. "Hey, sister, your face is so red? Is it because you ran over here just now?"

"..."

The corner of Sayo's mouth twitched slightly, and she quickened her pace imperceptibly, pretending not to hear Hinata's question.

Of course she knew that her blushing was not due to running, but because Hina's teasing just now made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the sound of the approaching tram saved her in time.

Sayo coughed lightly, pointed her finger forward, and changed the subject in a serious tone: "Stop talking, the car is here, get in."

Hinata blinked, and seeing her sister clearly avoiding the topic, she couldn't help but let out a mischievous smile, but she didn't ask any further questions, and replied briskly, "Okay~"
