A youth story of a passerby at the end of the world

"what?!"

She made a noise like a bad girl, just short of wearing a long pleated skirt. Hayasaka Ai didn't give him any face at all, "Bullmaster, are you crazy?"

"You should have performed on stage before, right?" Uesugi Genshin simply felt that the stage should be diversified to harmonize everyone's spiritual life and avoid aesthetic fatigue. Everyone has their own preferences.

“I have, but that doesn’t mean I will do it.”

I had to disguise myself as a hot girl in school. Now that I finally have some free time, how could I possibly do such a tiring thing again? I feel so refreshed after taking off the mask that I really don't want to put it on again.

Closing her eyes, turning around and swinging her golden ponytail, Hayasaka Ai gave off the vibe that she didn't want to pay attention to him.

"What a pity! I wanted to write a song for you." Leaning against a tree, Uesugi Genshin said casually.

"Write it down, let me take a look first." In an instant, Hayasaka Ai turned her head back expressionlessly.

"You obviously don't plan to sing on stage?" Uesugi Genshin shrugged.

"Think about it after you read it. It might be very bad," she said nonchalantly.

"No, I haven't thought of a name yet." He kept the secret, shaking his index finger.

"Eh~, what's your name?" Hayasaka Ai asked with obvious interest.

"It's called, 'Spring Lips.'" Uesugi Genshin gave the answer.

"About what?" From the name, it sounds like it's about love.

"A girl who wants to fall in love dreams of being an invincible heroine in a world that only has her," he replied with a wink.

"......" After a short silence, Hayasaka Ai slapped the inspection form with all the ticks on it on his chest, "The performance is about to start. If you don't go to the front now, someone will come to you."

Hearing what Hayasaka said, Uesugi Genshin looked forward and saw that they had indeed gone on stage.

"Let's go then."

Because it wasn't a performance aimed at cultivating fans, they didn't interact like idols, but instead said words of comfort to everyone for their hard work. It sounded very comfortable and was probably written by Shiyu.

Then the performance began. In addition to singing the songs that received good responses last time, they also sang the songs that were suggestions collected by the publicity and promotion department.

There were songs from anime as well as some popular songs recently. Fengbin stood in the middle of the team on the stage and could be seen clearly.

As the music played, her movements were brisk, giving people a sense of stability.

As a professional idol, her dancing is impeccable. After all, the idol industry in Japan is an extremely inward-looking one.

Stop when you should stop, and move when you should move. While dancing, express the music with your whole body and soul.

The movements are gentle and smooth, yet also full of the cuteness that an idol should have.

This is a formation dance that emphasizes the coordinated movements of all members. It's not just Fengbin who stands out, not to mention that Hirokawa is in the C position.

However, Uesugi Genshin's eyes always couldn't help but look at her, perhaps because he was attracted by her shining idol charm, or maybe he was a fan of blonde hair.

After that, of course, there was the song that Uesugi Genshin had specified, for which he had used his privileges as vice president, but was criticized by Hachiman for having no ambition at all.

But what are we pursuing? Is there any room for improvement?

At that time, he asked Hachiman temptingly if he wanted to hear anything, and naturally, both of them were criticized by Yukinoshita.

In the end, his request was retained, which is the song "バブル", which means bubble.

It is about the bubble era in Japan in the last century. The illusion of rapid economic development, Tokyo alone could buy the entire United States, but it was like a bubble that burst with a poke.

It's a song with an old-fashioned style, and Fengbin even teased it for being old, but it sounds really exciting. It was originally sung by an old man in the tune of Ye Lu Si Ku.

But after the girl's cover, it became more exciting and sounded cool.

If you occasionally abandon the image of a cute idol and sing some contrasting songs, you will be more popular.

Putting aside the repulsion between the same sex, girls may like cute girls, but they are more likely to like cool girls.

According to Shiyu, someone went to Shiroi-senpai for relationship consultation because her relationship with her boyfriend broke down after their last performance.

......It’s hard to say whose fault it is, but we can’t reason with those girls who are so angry that they have lost their minds.

So Uesugi Genshin came up with this idea to ease the public opinion and atmosphere.

The members of Sweet Bullet, who had given their all, were already sweating and out of breath.

Even so, they were still very dedicated, standing in a row with smiles on their faces, holding hands with their teammates beside them.

"Thank you everyone!"

He bowed deeply to the audience, who burst into applause and cheers.

Their faces, raised up in the bright afternoon light, show the youthful vitality of girls, and their expressions seem very happy, smiles of satisfaction and great joy.

If it weren't for their passion, they wouldn't have become idols. Unlike in other countries, here this is a profession that requires extreme perseverance and persistence.

"Thank you for your hard work." Together with Yukinoshita, who served as the final host, Uesugi Genshin stood in front of Sweet Bullet who had returned to the preparation room and said together.

They also responded by saying, "You have worked hard too."

"No, it's Kasumigaoka who worked hard this time." Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head. Her fair and just personality made her not want to take credit for the other party's thanks.

"Well, Miss Kasumigaoka, I'm still busy. I'll go and thank you later." As the team leader, Hirokawa Uzuki smiled tiredly.

Uesugi Genshin understood very well that a two-hour performance was indeed very tiring and it was normal to feel tired, so he said,

"Thank you, I will bring it to you. Go take a shower. Your forehead and neck are still covered in sweat."

"Really?" Hirokawa Maoyue touched it with his hand and said in surprise, he had clearly just wiped it.

"If fans saw this, they would probably be disillusioned. After all, idols don't sweat." Uesugi Genshin joked with a smile.

"How can I not sweat?" Sighing heavily, Anong Yae kept fanning herself with her hands. With her short hair, she was probably the coolest in the team.

"Yeah." With his fists clenched on his chest, Hirokawa Uzuki also complained in agreement, "I always feel uncomfortable after every concert."

"Hmm? Because underwear will get soaked with sweat?" Uesugi Genshin immediately thought of something.

"Oh, brother really understands." Nakago Ranko, who was beside Hirokawa, bent her sexily body, blushed, and teased.

Ah, he is NoPan’s idol after all, and the memory of him is still fresh.

My feet were stepped on again, and unlike the gentle step when Ma Yi stepped on them, this time they were stepped on heavily.

"What are you suddenly saying?!"

Fengbin and Xianghuo yelled at him so anxiously that he almost subconsciously wanted to cover his ears.

"Well, well, what my brother said is true." The natural Hirokawa Uzuki dropped her shoulders exaggeratedly, as if this fact really made her very distressed.

"Oh, didn't Xiaohe hate this thing as well before?" Vice-captain Anno Yae covered his mouth and chuckled.

"I remember now!" The petite Okazaki Ying stretched out her hand and shouted, "At that time, Lan Zi said this was called the original flavor. If we sell it, maybe we can make some money."

"Yingying!!!" Nakago Ranko didn't expect to encounter the ultimate backstab at this time. She was just joking at the time!

I will never sell it for money! No matter how much it costs!

The thought of being bought to do all kinds of things was creepy and would definitely give her nightmares at night. She said at the time that she just happened to see the news in a magazine.

“Maybe there are some idiots who will buy it.” Mai raised her eyes and looked at someone.

"Why are you looking at me?" He snorted and then showed with a proud expression that he would never buy this. He lowered his eyes and was about to say something.

"Okay~" Mai stretched out her palm in front of his face, and the other hand covered half of her pretty face in distress, "You don't have to say it."

In order to avoid further violent remarks from her lover, she decided to stop him in advance.

This man always acts like a child in front of her, childish.

“…” He hasn’t said anything yet!

Then Uesugi Genshin turned to look at his feet, immediately raised his head and reminded in a low voice, "Fengbin, feet. Feet."

She is still stepping on her own feet! Did she forget or was it accidental?

"Hmph~" Holding his slender arms, Fengbin Hexiang gently retracted his feet. When he turned around, the golden ponytail almost hit him, and he was very familiar with the scent of this shampoo.

I moved my toes and fortunately, apart from a little pain at the beginning, Fengbin was still very light in terms of weight.

"Anyway," he cleared his throat and said, "you did a great job. Please keep up the good work next time."

"Yes!" Hirokawa Uzuki answered as the leader of Sweet Bullet, quickly placing his hand in front of his forehead and saluting in assurance.

Although Hirokawa Uzuki looks very mature with her slender model figure and dignified face, her personality is surprisingly... naive.

"Don't be too stressed." Mai smiled gently, crossing her arms, "You guys go back and have a good rest."

"Then let's go thank Miss Kasumigaoka first, and then leave." As the steady core, Anno Yae answered for everyone.

"Yeah. That's right. After all, Ms. Kasumigaoka has been busy preparing for this performance." Hirokawa Uzuki looked back and agreed.

"I won't go." Fengbin Hexiang smiled awkwardly. She had just been severely criticized in the morning and still felt a little guilty.

Kasumigaoka's life and work are completely two different people.

"Okay." Not taking it seriously, Hirokawa Uzuki nodded. She knew that Miss Kasumigaoka and Kohei lived together and had a good relationship, so she would probably thank him in private.

"I'll go with you." Mai thought for a moment, and as she spoke, she followed Guangchuan to the door.

"Yes."

The only people left in the room were Uesugi Genshin and his sister-in-law.

"I have to go to work, you go back first."

"I got it." Fengbin Hexiang turned his face away as if in a huff, and his golden ponytail playfully pointed towards him.

"What's wrong?" Uesugi Genshin ruffled her hair amusingly. It felt very soft. "Do you want me to dance for you?"

With a mischievous smile, he took out a yellow light stick from his pocket, causing Fengbin to open his eyes wide with a surprised expression and turn his head back.

"You actually still have this thing in your arms." She never expected, "I didn't see you take it out just now."

"Because I was afraid that if I took this out at that time, you would make a mistake."

"Thank you!" She said it with some gratitude, because she really might not be able to hold it in.

"So you want it?" I asked Feng Bin, who was standing in front of me with her hands clenched into fists in anger, and she glared at me in response.

"It's better not to dance." With a cute raised blue eye, Fengbin Hexiang shook his head vigorously, "Don't destroy the image of you in my heart."

"What image do you have of me in your mind?" Hearing her say that, Uesugi Genshin was a little curious.

"......, a vulgar man who can tell dirty jokes?" Pinching his chin, Fengbin Hexiang tilted his head and thought for a while before saying that it would not be so difficult to say something bad.

"Hmm? Have I ever said that in front of you?" The person he talked to the most should be Hachiman.

"The first time you did, you said you wanted to lick my feet." Giving him a look that said "you thought so", Fengbin Hexiang looked down at herself wearing short high-heeled boots and suspender black stockings.

What about the warning about lung fungus? He has mentioned it before.

"That's not what I said." Uesugi Genshin asserted, leaning back suddenly. "Never mind, I'm going to work. You should go back soon too."

Originally, he and Yukinoshita were going to rest in the afternoon.

There will be no rest this time, because they plan to leave for Tokyo tomorrow, so Yukinoshita needs to explain everything to the others and complete the handover, and Uesugi Genshin also has some things to do.

"That, that."

As soon as I put my hand on the door handle, I heard Fengbin and Xiang calling timidly from behind, with an imperceptible tremor in their voices.

"What?" Uesugi Genshin turned his head and looked at her with her hands tangled between her legs, her head lowered, her shoulders almost curled up into a ball, looking so fragile.

She is supposed to be a gorgeous idol with an arrogant air, but of course, she is actually a girl with fashionable makeup and a serious heart. Her teammates all know it.

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Uesugi Genshin said softly, "Fengbin, please don't worry about it. We are very close, aren't we?"

The general meaning was to let her say it without minding it. Although such a shy attitude was really cute, it was based on the premise that she was struggling inside.

"That's right, that..., at that time you..." She stammered, and her fingers went from being entangled together to rubbing her palms up and down.

It's so hard to be alone together.

She used up her last bit of strength to utter the last words, "Were you serious about the kiss at that time?"

Ah~, that time.
