Yuege stood there, quietly watching Ichinose Suyo pacing back and forth in front of her, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Stop for a moment..." she whispered softly.
However, Su Shi seemed to have not heard anything at all, and continued to pace around in the small backstage space, his hands tightly grasping the corners of his clothes, and the anxiety on his face was clearly visible.
"What should I do...what should I do...why hasn't Dad come yet?"
Yue Ge watched her steps getting faster and faster, almost stepping on her own shadow. Finally, she couldn't help but take a step forward and put her hand on her shoulder.
"Sushi!"
She raised her voice and shouted, forcing Su Shi to stop.
Su Shi's body trembled slightly, and she looked up at Yue Ge. Her emerald green eyes were already filled with a layer of uneasy moisture, and her voice was also a little tearful: "Yue Ge... Daddy hasn't come yet..."
Her voice was trembling and even her breathing was rapid.
We have all been preparing for this performance for so long, and I have mustered up the courage and worked so hard, but if it ends up being a failure just because my dad couldn't make it... then would all the efforts be meaningful?
Yue Ge looked at her, who was about to collapse, and sighed in his heart.
She knew that no matter what words of comfort she said now, Su Shi would not listen, and might even become more anxious.
and so--
"Let's go." Yue Ge suddenly said lightly.
"Huh?" Su Shi was stunned and couldn't react.
Yuege took her hand with a bright smile on her face: "Let's go for a walk first. We haven't had a proper stroll during this year's school festival!"
"But..." Su Shi bit her lip, still a little hesitant.
"It's nothing." Yue Ge patted the back of her hand gently, her voice gentle but firm. "Staying here will only make you more anxious. Why not go and see other places in the school festival and relax?"
Su Shi looked up at Yue Ge's bright eyes. There was no wavering in them, only unhesitating trust and encouragement.
She opened her mouth, but finally, under Yue Ge's pull, she slowly walked out of the Astronomy Department.
"Su Shi, is there any place you want to go?"
Yue Ge's eyes swept across the various promotional posters in the corridor. With a light smile on her lips, she casually asked Su Shi beside her.
However, she was only met with silence.
Su Shi lowered his head, his eyes wandering to the ground. He seemed to be trapped in an invisible bubble, his expression dazed, and it was obvious that his mind was not on the school festival at all.
Yue Ge blinked and sighed inwardly.
"...That's right. It's useless to ask now." She shrugged, decisively gave up waiting for the other party's response, took Su Shi's hand, and raised a sly smile at the corner of her mouth.
"Then I'll decide! Anyway, let's go check out the activities of Xiao Deng and Hai Ling's class first!"
Su Shi was startled by her sudden pull and looked up slightly. Before he could react, he was picked up by Yue Ge.
"I heard Xiaodeng's class is preparing a haunted house," she said casually as she stepped forward, her tone even filled with a hint of eager anticipation. "I wonder what it's going to be like."
Su Shi turned his head to look at her with a complicated look.
"Tsukuge...are you really not panicking at all?"
Even though there were less than two hours left until the performance, their band was still missing the most important guest.
She was so nervous that she couldn't even stand, but Yuege was still able to drag her around the school festival and see the haunted house as if nothing had happened?

Thanks to @{"reader_id":"323735","reader_name":"Psychosis Cow"} for the reward.
I was thinking of taking a day off to play in the wilderness tomorrow, but now I have to write now. I'll add ten chapters (crossed out) five chapters.
Chapter 125: Haunted House
It didn't take long for the two of them to reach Xiaodeng's class. There was a black curtain hanging at the door, fluttering slightly, and one could vaguely see the dim lights and strange decorations inside.
Suddenly, a ghost wrapped in a white sheet slowly floated out, blocking the door, and said in a low and strange voice: "Welcome..."
Yue Ge blinked, keenly aware that the voice sounded familiar. She tilted her head and asked tentatively, "Xiao Deng?"
"Hmm..." The ghost paused for a moment, and then an indistinct voice came from under the sheets: "Yue... Yuege?"
Then, the white bed sheet shook slightly, and Xiao Deng's face cautiously peeked out from underneath. His face was painted with bluish-purple shadows and a cracked makeup, like a ghost that had just been resurrected.
Yue Ge gasped, staring at her face for a few seconds, and couldn't help but complain: "Wow...isn't this supposed to be face-baring? Why is she wearing makeup?"
"Because the light really doesn't have the talent to scare people anymore."
At this time, a low voice came from the side. Yue Ge looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man wearing a punk-style leather jacket and a green zombie mask on his head slowly walking towards him.
There are several metal screws inlaid on the headgear, and there are even simulated stitching marks on the cracked "forehead", which looks quite realistic.
"Wow?!" Ichinose Suyo subconsciously took a step back, her whole body tense.
But the zombie stood there calmly, looking at Su Shi's frightened expression, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that my disguise is quite successful."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and slowly took off her hood, revealing a familiar face - it was Hachiman Kailing.
Yue Ge stared at her costume for a while, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the hood in her hand, and said thoughtfully: "Frankenstein?"
Hai Ling gently shook her hair that was messed up by the hood and replied calmly: "Well, after all, if you want to scare people, you have to do some homework."
Yue Ge looked at Su Shi beside her and saw that her face was slightly stiff and her hands were subconsciously clenching the corners of her clothes. It was obvious that she had not recovered from the shock just now. Then, she looked at the hideous Frankenstein mask in Hai Ling's hand and couldn't help but sigh:
"It's really scary. Even Su Shi was scared."
"That's because Hai Ling suddenly appeared!" Ichinose Suyo glared at Yue Ge, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly, as if she was reluctant to admit that she was scared.
Yue Ge chuckled and stopped teasing her, turning his attention back to the "ghost" beside him.
"Xiao Deng, are you responsible for the door reception today?" She asked with her head tilted, her eyes falling on the white bed sheet that was still draped over Xiao Deng.
Gao Songdeng nodded slightly, lifted a corner of the bed sheet slightly, revealing a pair of amber eyes with a hint of helplessness.
"Well... originally I was responsible for playing the ghost in the haunted house."
"But... for some reason, I got a lot of snacks along the way."
As she spoke, she pulled back a corner of the bed sheet, revealing several bags of candy and biscuits hidden in her arms, and even a box of beautifully wrapped chocolates.
Yue Ge was stunned when she saw this scene, and then she couldn't help laughing: "Halloween? Trick or treat?"
"Then I was arranged to stand at the door." Xiao Deng sighed softly, with the corners of his mouth slightly pouting, revealing a bit of helplessness.
She originally intended to play the ghost, but for some reason, the guests who came to the haunted house were either amused by her cute costume or handed her snacks, saying that she looked more like a lost ghost than a ghost. As a result, she didn't stay in the haunted house for long before she was "transferred" to the door to work as a receptionist.
"Hahaha..." Yue Ge laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist. He reached out and patted her shoulder, saying firmly, "As expected, Xiao Deng is not suitable for scaring people at all."
"Hmm..." Xiao Deng shrank his head, hummed softly in grievance like a little animal, and hugged the candy in his arms tightly, looking even more like a bullied little ghost.
Hai Ling, who was watching their interaction, said calmly, "So, Yue Ge and Su Shi are planning to go into the haunted house today?"
"Yes!" Yue Ge nodded, smiled, and said without hesitation: "You two!"
Hai Ling nodded slightly, put on the mask again, pushed open the door of the haunted house, and returned to the classroom to report.
At this time, Xiao Deng also resumed his "job responsibilities", quickly put on the bed sheet, pretended to be a ghost, pointed to the small iron box beside him, and said in the ghost's ethereal tone:
"Um... Tsukigata, 500 yen per person..."
Her voice was so light that Yue Ge couldn't help laughing, but she still reached into her pocket and took out two 500-yen coins, which she dropped into the piggy bank with a clink.
Conveniently, she rubbed Xiao Deng's head through the bed sheet and said in a cheerful tone: "Thank you for your hard work, little ghost."
Xiao Deng was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously tilted her head. Her cheeks seemed to be slightly hot, but no one could see it because it was blocked by the bed sheet.
Su Shi, who was watching the interaction between the two, sighed helplessly and urged with his arms crossed, "Can we go in now?"
She just wanted to end this haunted house session as soon as possible. After all, she didn't really like these exciting things.
"Of course, welcome..." Xiao Deng put on the bed sheet again and said slowly in a ghostly voice. Then he reached out and pushed open the door of the haunted house. A slightly gloomy atmosphere immediately filled out from the gap in the door.
Yue Ge couldn't help but rub his hands excitedly and walked in, while Su Shi gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and followed closely behind.
--------------
The moment Yue Ge stepped into the classroom, the door behind him slammed shut. The classroom instantly became dim, with only a few weak LED candles and purple ghost lights providing dim lighting.
"Wow..." She sighed softly, looking around excitedly.
Compared to a real horror haunted house, this place is more like a theme park. The walls are covered with hand-painted weird graffiti. There is a "coffin" made of cardboard boxes piled up against the wall with "Do Not Open" written on it in red paint. There is even a ghost doll made of old sheets, hanging on a rope on the ceiling, swaying gently in the wind.
But what interested Yue Ge the most was the "funeral hall" put together in the back row of the classroom - several desks were covered with black cloth, with a small table covered with candles in the middle, and several crooked "talismans" placed around it. There were also "cursed dolls" made by the students themselves vaguely visible on the corners of the tables.
"Wow...you're quite thoughtful." Yue Ge exclaimed, his eyes full of excitement.
However, Su Shi, who was standing next to her, couldn't laugh at all.
Her hand unconsciously tightened around the corner of Yue Ge's clothes, and her eyes scanned the surroundings with vigilance.
Although she knew that everything here was a carefully arranged "fake haunted house".
But being in this kind of environment, especially when seeing those crooked dolls, I still feel inexplicably creepy.
--------------
Originally, there was actually a plot about puppets related to Ave Mujica.
But seeing that Kakimoto Hiroda was such a great screenwriter, and the plot was a bit slow, I deleted it, so I will skip the next chapter.
If you want to see it, I will post the extra chapter for you to see next time.
Chapter 126: Great Demon Princess Ako's Omurice (Part 1)
"Hmm..." Ichinose Suyo frowned slightly, her lips tightly pursed, her cold expression showing almost no fluctuation.
Behind her, Yue Ge looked relaxed and happy, not frightened at all.
"I feel like this haunted house is a bit lacking in quality. It's just ordinary scary tricks." Yue Ge commented.
"Yue Ge...are you guys out?" Gao Songdeng, who was wrapped in a bed sheet, heard Yue Ge's voice and popped out his little head from under the bed sheet.
"Yes!" Yue Ge helped Xiao Deng remove the sheet from his head and immediately invited him: "We are planning to go somewhere else. Xiao Deng, do you want to come with us?"
"Hmm..." Xiao Deng was stunned for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes. She bit her lower lip lightly, as if considering whether to accept Yue Ge's proposal.
Normally, faced with Yue Ge's invitation, she would follow without hesitation, but today she was a little hesitant, her eyes unconsciously drifting to the corner, as if she was thinking about something.
At this moment, the staff in the room seemed to notice Gao Songdeng's embarrassment and came out, saying softly, "Takamatsu-san, you still have a performance to prepare for this afternoon, right? Go and prepare for it quickly. I can cover for you here."
"And the same goes for Hailing-san." The mummy-student inside the door gently pushed Hachiman Hailing out.
Compared to the somewhat shy Takamatsu Touma, Yawata Kairin appears much more relaxed.
She stood up straight with ease, handed the hood in her hand to the classmate dressed as a mummy in front of her, and said without hesitation: "Then I'll trouble you."
"Well! Leave it to us!" The students nodded one after another.
Seeing the atmosphere gradually relaxed, Yue Ge took Xiao Deng's hand, and said with a playful and encouraging tone: "Alright! In that case, Xiao Deng, let's go!"
------------
Yue Ge then brought Xiao Deng, Su Shi and Hai Ling to the sixth grade class upstairs. This time their target was Ueda Ayako's class.
They are holding a maid cafe, which is an indispensable event in almost every school festival.
As soon as she arrived at the classroom door, Yue Ge saw the unique style of the person inside the door at a glance.
Because everyone else was wearing the white maid outfits from anime.
Only Ako was wearing a dark Lolita-style maid outfit. The black skirt was embellished with delicate white lace. The layered skirt hung down to her knees. The red ribbon tied at the neckline formed a sharp contrast with the black tone. The whole person looked like a blooming black rose.
"Ako!" Yue Ge greeted Ako Ueda who was wearing a maid outfit in front of her.
"Who is calling me, the Great Demon Princess Ayako, again?" Ayako turned around and looked with a very childish gesture when she heard the voice.
After seeing that it was Yuege, Yazi's expression suddenly softened. A familiar smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She trotted forward without hesitation, her skirt swaying gently with her steps: "Ah! Yuege, you're here!"
Yue Ge smiled and responded, "We also want to eat the delicious food made by Azi Da Mo Ji."
When Yazi heard this, a proud smile appeared on her lips and she instantly entered her own role.
She raised her chin slightly, narrowed her eyes, and seemed to have made a decision that could not be refused: "Hehehe! You actually let the Great Demon Princess cook for you. But considering that it was you, Yuege, who made the request, and today is a special holiday, I will bestow upon you, Yuege, the truly precious dark energy."
