"~ It's okay, I'll be fine after a while. But we're really looking forward to seeing Mo-kun at our performance that day. It's our first time on stage! I wonder how many people will come? We're really looking forward to it!" Kotori said with some anticipation. Umi was a little nervous, but she was also imagining things. The audience below the stage watched their perfect performance on stage, and then became even more nervous.
"There will definitely be a lot of people, we've already promoted it!" Hui Naiguo said confidently. "Hideko, Fumika, and Mika are also helping me promote it, there will definitely be a lot of people!"
Seeing their hopeful gazes, Gao Yumo looked at Tojo Nozomi, who was also looking at him with a slight smile. Gao Yumo knew that she was indeed planning something. Even though Gao Yumo had her own plans, Tojo Nozomi did not stop her own.
She'll try to make sure that no one is on the Little Birds' first stage. Of course, even if she doesn't stop anything, there probably won't be anyone there anyway, right? After all, it's normal for no one to be there for Muse's first performance, which is being held without any fans.
Gao Yumo did not stop her plan. Tojo Nozomi had her own considerations. If one setback could defeat Kotori and the other two, then they really shouldn't be school idols. They had to overcome this challenge that Tojo Nozomi had set for them.
Of course, the main reason is that Gao Yumo has no way to stop Tojo Nozomi. After all, this is their school, and she is the vice president of the student council. She has plenty of ways to make sure that Kotori and the others' first performance has no audience.
As for Hui Naiguo's so-called promotion, it was really just handing out flyers, putting up some simple posters, and saying a few words to the classmates. But as I said before, since they had only been established for a short time and had no reputation, how could anyone possibly pay attention to that?
A few curious people were stopped by Nozomi Tojo.
“Hmm, perhaps there really will be a lot of people,” Gao Yumo said, glancing at Tojo Nozomi with a mysterious smile. She suddenly had a strange feeling, but she didn’t sense that Gao Yumo was going to stop her plan. It seemed that he also understood that a setback was very important to a newly born muse?
They have to get through this on their own, but Nozomi Tojo still has a lot of confidence in them. After all, none of the three, except for Umi Sonoda, would give up easily. And Umi Sonoda has her two friends, Enoka and Kotori, who will always be there for them and won't give up easily. That's how they complement each other.
Gao Yumo thought so too; he was the one who had the highest hopes for them! So whatever Ren Xi planned, it was all for the good of Xiao Niao and the others.
Chapter 180 Koizumi Hanayo! (2nd update)
The group headed toward the place Gao Yumo wanted to see again, which was his suggestion. He said he wanted to see the alpacas at their school, but actually it was because they might run into Koizumi Hanayo there. She was the fourth girl to join Muse, and Gao Yumo's initial target for the day was her.
She was in charge of raising alpacas at school, and she took good care of these two alpacas, who also liked her very much.
If other people were to approach, the alpacas would probably spit on them, right? After all, one of them has a rather bad temper.
"But I didn't expect Mo-kun to like small animals too?" Hui Naiguo said happily, as if she had discovered some little secret.
Gao Yumo scratched her head. Small animals? Can alpacas really be considered small animals? Oh well, as long as they're happy.
"Well, I do really like animals. I've been thinking about getting a dog lately. If it were me, I'd probably choose a dog, right?" Gao Yumo said, stroking his chin thoughtfully. He did have that in mind, but there were many girls in his family, and Yukino, for example, preferred cats and didn't like dogs. She was even a little afraid of dogs. So he could only think about it. The girls' preferences meant he couldn't just get a dog casually. He had to think it through and discuss it with them.
"So, Mo Jun prefers dogs? What about cats?" the little bird asked curiously.
"I don't dislike cats, they're alright if you like them, but they are indeed very cute. But I still prefer dogs, though having a cat is not bad. Of course, I prefer cats that are affectionate; I don't really like the kind of cats that don't like people." Gao Yumo thought for a moment and replied to 610. Actually, if all else fails, we can just get a cat or a dog. Anyway, the house is so big, the two animals can run around as they please, and the girls won't say anything, right?
"If Mo Jun raises one, you must let us see it!" the little bird said expectantly.
"Definitely!" Gao Yumo nodded with a smile. He was planning to look for a pet store soon and see if any girls would be willing to go with him. He didn't know about others, but Yukino would definitely be interested. She couldn't possibly refuse if he said he wanted to buy a cat, right?
The group quickly arrived at the location of the two alpacas. Gao Yumo immediately spotted Koizumi Hanayo, who was taking care of the alpacas. After all, this quiet girl with glasses was easy to recognize.
Enoka spotted her immediately, her eyes lighting up as she ran towards her. Kotori didn't stop her and quickly followed. After all, Enoka had harassed Koizumi Hanayo many times in the past few days. Koizumi Hanayo's location was too easy to guess, yet Enoka was able to find her every time, unlike the others who were hard to find.
"Hanayo-chan! I didn't expect you to still be at school on the weekend!" Enoka ran up to her and said excitedly.
"Senior? What are you doing here?" Koizumi Hanayo didn't expect that Senior Enoka would still be at school on the weekend, and then she saw a group of people walking behind her.
Their gazes immediately fell on the most conspicuous person among them: "A boy!? Why are there boys in the school?"
Before Gao Yumo could say anything, Hui Naiguo spoke up for him: "He's the Da Mo teacher I mentioned to you, the one who's going to draw comics for us."
"We..." Koizumi Hanayo didn't know how to answer Enoka's question. Should she just refuse? In her heart, she actually wanted to say yes, but she felt that she might not be able to do it well and lacked confidence. Koizumi Hanayo really liked school idols, but she lacked confidence in herself. If she were confident, she probably would have said yes already.
"Alright, Koko, you don't need to treat Hanayo like that." Kotori quickly came to the rescue.
"That's right, Enoko, you're too forceful!" Umi quickly chimed in.
"Huh? No way! Hanayo-chan will definitely get along well with me, right? We'll definitely become good friends." Enoka was still very close to Koizumi Hanayo, who was definitely going to join their Muse, at least that's what she thought.
"Don't rush things like this, Hui Naiguo. The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to annoy others," Gao Yumo said as he walked over. Hui Naiguo puffed out her cheeks, but she understood that Mo-jun was right. She moved away from Koizumi Hanayo. Koizumi Hanayo breathed a sigh of relief. Senior Hui Naiguo was too enthusiastic! She couldn't handle it!
Fortunately, Teacher Da Mo helped to persuade Senior Hui Nai Guo to stop, otherwise Senior Hui Nai Guo would have only pestered her more later, as she had already experienced in the past few days.
"Hello, my name is Gao Yumo, I'm a cartoonist, nice to meet you." Gao Yumo gave Koizumi Hanayo a serious self-introduction.
Koizumi Hanayo quickly bowed and earnestly introduced herself. After all, she felt that the boy in front of her was very impressive. Senior Enoka had shown her the manga he drew, and it was not just impressive, it was extremely impressive!
"Hello, my name is Koizumi Hanayo, nice to meet you."
"Did Koizumi come to school today to take care of these two alpacas?" Gao Yumo asked curiously.
"Yes." Koizumi Hanayo nodded.
"So, Koizumi really loves animals," Gao Yumo said with a smile. "I think people who like animals are generally not bad people. Koizumi must be a kind and compassionate person."
"Th-thank you." Koizumi Hanayo blushed, not expecting to be praised by the boy she was meeting for the first time.
Hui Naiguo chimed in, "That's right, Hanayo-chan is the most loving person. Look how well she takes care of these two alpacas."
“Yes, it’s really impressive that they even use their own time on weekends to feed them and groom their fur.” Gao Yumo nodded and said. He felt that this kind of behavior of using his own time to take care of the school’s animals was very impressive. He probably couldn’t do it himself, since they weren’t his own.
"You flatter me!" Koizumi Hanayo's face grew increasingly red, as she had been receiving constant praise.
Ayano, watching Takayuki praise the girl he had just met so skillfully, knew that he must have investigated the girl. Was everything really going according to his plan?
"By the way," Gao Yumo said, seeing that they had chatted enough and were somewhat familiar with each other, she turned to Koizumi Hanayo and asked, "Koizumi-san, could you tell me about your daily life at school, your hobbies, and so on?"
Koizumi Hanayo was taken aback, then it occurred to her: "Is it for the manga?"
“That’s right!” Gao Yumo nodded. “Is that okay?”
Koizumi Hanayo hesitated. Just like Kotori and the others before her, she felt so shy to say these things to a boy!
"What should I say? I don't know what content should be drawn in the comic?" she asked.
"Then just talk about your relationships with friends, the things you like to do, and things that have left a deep impression on you. Of course, it would be even better if you could talk about your thoughts and conversations during those times," Gao Yumo explained, looking at her expectantly.
"In that case..." she asked one last question, "Why are you asking me?"
This was what she was most curious about. She was just an ordinary student, nothing special, so why would they specifically come looking for her? Was that route they just took specifically to find her? She wasn't a member of Muse, shouldn't she be asking Senior Enaika and the others?
"Well? Do you like idols?" Gao Yumo stopped Hui Naiguo from speaking. Although she really wanted to say it, she knew that what she would say would probably be something like, "You will definitely join us."
"I like it, but..." She was a little shy and wanted to say something, but Gao Yumo continued.
"Since you like idols, it's reasonable for me to draw some monologues from girls like you who like idols in my idol comics, right?" Gao Yumo said with a smile.
That's not actually the case, but if you were to ask Koizumi Hanayo to become an idol right now, the shy and insecure Koizumi Hanayo would definitely not be able to give Gao Yumo an answer. So Gao Yumo used a roundabout method, which was a bit troublesome, but it was necessary for Koizumi Hanayo.
"That seems reasonable." Koizumi Hanayo nodded in agreement instinctively.
"Then please tell me, Koizumi-san. I'll write it down." Gao Yumo took out paper and pen. "Just say what I just said."
Koizumi Hanayo was taken aback, then realized she had fallen into a trap. Knowing there was no other way, she could only do as Gao Yumo had said.
The others looked at Gao Yumo and gained a new understanding of the extent of her perverse sense of humor.
Ayano, on the other hand, understood that this was nothing. When dealing with a girl he had just met, Mo had already toned it down considerably.
(The picture shows Koizumi Hanayo, glasses girls are the best! It's just a pity that she wears contact lenses later on and loses the glasses girl attribute.)
Chapter 181, Part 2 of LL, complete (3 updates)
After a while, Gao Yumo's notebook was full of notes. At first, Koizumi Hanayo was a little shy, but with Gao Yumo's guidance, she started to talk more and more, almost to the point of revealing her home address. The girls next to her looked at Gao Yumo helplessly. As expected of him, Koizumi Hanayo was no match for him.
"Thank you, Koizumi-san. This will be a great help to my manga!" Gao Yumo said with a smile. Koizumi Hanayo was already a bit numb. She answered whatever Gao Yumo asked her, and only now was she coming to her senses.
Through her, Gao Yumo not only learned about her, but also about Hoshizora Rin and Nishikino Maki. After all, the three of them were very good friends, just like Kotori and her friends. Gao Yumo also asked Koizumi Hanayo about the two of them.
While they certainly wouldn't know as much as you would if you asked them directly, they're not at school, so asking Koizumi Hanayo is just as good—she knows quite a bit too.
"It's okay, I'm glad I could help you." Koizumi Hanayo came back to her senses and said with a slightly flushed face. After all, she had said a lot more than she had initially intended to say, and she was a little embarrassed, but she was now able to have a normal conversation with Gao Yumo.
Gao Yumo smiled. If it were any other girl, he could let them call him Mo-jun, but with Koizumi Hanayo, it probably wouldn't be possible in the short term. After all, she was a shy girl, even more shy than Umi. Of course, the main reason was that it was their first meeting today, while Umi had Kotori's introduction, so the situation was different.
"Hey! Mo-kun, can you do another one of drawing comics directly today? Do you have enough material?" Hui Naiguo excitedly approached Gao Yumo after he finished asking, looking very expectant.
Umi wanted to pull her away quickly; she couldn't be so rude!
But Gao Yumo stopped her, smiling as she replied, "No problem, that's enough for one chapter. Want to see it?"
"Yes!" Hui Naiguo said excitedly. She still vividly remembered how Mo Jun drew a comic on the spot last time. It was so amazing!
The others also turned their gazes toward Gao Yumo, all of them somewhat excited. Even Ayase Eli was very much looking forward to it. Although she didn't admit it, she was actually very much looking forward to Gao Yumo's manga!
Koizumi Hanayo was a little confused about what they were talking about, but seeing that everyone was looking at Gao Yumo, she also looked at him, and then she saw something that made her speechless with surprise!
Gao Yumo took out her sketchbook and pen from her bag and started drawing without even thinking!
The paintbrush moved swiftly in Gao Yumo's hands, producing one comic strip after another. It might take less than a minute to finish a single page—that's how fast it was! And the drawings were exceptionally good!
Hanayo Koizumi was dumbfounded. This was amazing!
Not long after, Gao Yumo stopped drawing; she had finished!
Everyone else was speechless with astonishment, feeling that Gao Yumo had become even more powerful. Even Ayano thought so, feeling that he was even faster than before.
Gao Yumo knew what was going on. The effects of his body-enhancing skills made his body stronger than before. After all, he had two more LV9 skills to enhance his body, so he could draw much faster!
"I guess we'll have to wait until after your first performance to paint again," he said with a sigh of relief.
"Really? What a pity, I wanted to see what happened next." Hui Naoguo finally came to her senses and said regretfully.
The little bird also came to its senses, then looked at Hui Naiguo and said strangely, "Xiaoguo, aren't these our own things? You've already experienced them, what's there to regret? When Mo Jun painted it, he didn't add anything that didn't happen, did he?"
“But it feels even better to read it again in comic form!” Enoka said confidently.
The little bird wanted to argue, but after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense, and in the end, it could only agree with Huinaguo's statement.
"So you guys have to do your best! The third episode is your first time performing on stage. This is not only the climax of the early part of my comic, but also an important turning point in your lives. Seize this opportunity, and you can become true muses," Gao Yumo encouraged them.
"Yes!" The little bird nodded seriously.
"We will," Umi said earnestly.
"If Hanayo-chan joined us, that would be great." This is what Enoka said; she still hasn't let go of Koizumi Hanayo.
Koizumi Hanayo didn't know how to answer, while Gao Yumo smiled and said to Enoka, "Even if you wanted to invite Koizumi-san now, it's not the right time. After all, how long have you three been rehearsing and practicing? Even if Koizumi-san joined you, your performance on stage is coming up soon, and there won't be time for her to practice with you, will there?"
"After all, it's not right to let Koizumi join you now, but not let her perform on stage for the first time, right? That wouldn't be good. So let's invite her after your first performance, so she can see your perfect performance, and also let Ayase-senpai see the results of your hard work, right?"
Hui Naiguo scratched her head: "That makes sense."
She's calmed down and decided to temporarily give up on inviting Hanayo-chan. Their debut performance is coming up soon, and she wants to show her the three of them their hard work! That way, it'll be easier to invite her then, right?
And who knows, they might even be able to invite all the other members into the Muse team at once!
"Alright, come and take a look." Gao Yumo saw that Hui Naiguo had understood what he meant, so he handed her the original manuscript, since she was so looking forward to it.
After Enako excitedly accepted it, she was immediately surrounded by the other girls, including Koizumi Hanayo, who was very curious!
"Your drawing is so good, Mo-kun!" Hui-nai-guo exclaimed as soon as she opened the book.
"Thank you for the compliment, take a look." Gao Yumo nodded with a smile.
Koizumi Hanayo looked at the manga and saw how hard Enoka and the others were working. She longed to join them, as she really liked the school idols.
Let's wait until after their first performance! She's already decided to join them!
"You guys keep watching, and I'll also tell you about the comics," Gao Yumo said, noticing their focused expressions.
"The comic has been decided. It will be published bi-monthly in the weekly comic magazine, but once every other week."
Hui Naiguo immediately looked at him and said excitedly, "Really? That's great! That means more people will be able to see it soon, right?"
"When exactly?" This was the question Ayase Eli asked. She was very interested and asked it right away. Then she realized that she shouldn't have acted like this in front of Enoka and the others. However, she found that Enoka and the others ignored her and continued to look at Takahata. It was obvious that they also wanted to know the answer to her question. They didn't even care about the difference in her personality.
"Hmm, it should be the week after next, right? That is, the second Saturday of next month. You can go to the bookstore to buy a copy then." Gao Yumo thought for a moment and said, glancing at Ayano, who nodded to acknowledge Gao Yumo's mistake.
"Will it take that long?" Hui Nao said regretfully. "I really want to see it right away."
"Didn't you already see it?" Umi said helplessly.
“But a lot of people read the magazine ‘Weekly Comic,’ so it’s bound to be different from what we read, right? And we’ll also see a lot of online comments, right? Umi, aren’t you looking forward to it?” Enoka retorted.
Sonoda Umi thought it made a lot of sense and could only nod, "That makes sense."

"And also, I have a surprise to tell you. I don't know if you want to know, or if you're planning to wait until later," Gao Yumo said mysteriously, looking at them.
"What surprise? I need to know!" Hui Naiguo was clearly impatient.
Seeing that Mo Jun was being mysterious again, Xiao Niao went over and hit him, something she had learned from her last time with those girls.
"Mo Jun, stop keeping me in suspense!" she said after she finished hitting him. Of course, she hadn't used much force, and to others it sounded more like she was being coquettish.
Koizumi Hanayo was already wondering what the relationship was between Kotori-senpai and Takaha-sensei. Could it be...? Probably not.
Gao Yumo chuckled sheepishly, clutching the spot where she had just been hit, and quickly said, "Okay, okay, actually I've decided to give you half of the royalties from this comic book, and then you'll work for me."
