The lady can hear my voice

"…There's something." Shiina Riki obviously didn't want to say it.

"Mr. Lixi, there is a performance this afternoon, right?"

"Correct."

"Well, after the show, I have something important to tell you."

"...?"

After saying this, Hachiman Kailing returned to her seat and turned to tell Sankaku Hatsuka: "I will take a leave of absence from this afternoon's practice."

Sanjiao Chuhua was stunned: "...Okay, then..."

"I'll explain it to Xiangzi."

-

Lunch break time.

At Kasumigaoka High School.

Today, Aine still didn't go to rehearse with Sora Niijima during lunch break, but it wasn't because they were having a quarrel.

It was because the clothes were ready and she needed to try them on.

Juliet's costume is particularly important. After all, she is the heroine on the stage, so every aspect must be done in detail.

And the girls in the class called Aine over alone because they were concerned about the comfort of the clothes.

Since that was the case, Sora Niijima was not idle either. After giving the lunch boxes to Pochi-chan and Deng, he took the music scores of several songs he had already prepared and went to find Shoko.

The two agreed to meet in the science preparation room they had been in before.

"Xiangzi, good afternoon. Have you had lunch?" Sora Niijima looked at her with a smile.

Toyokawa Shoko nodded: "What about you?"

"After eating some rice balls, come on, let's talk about the songs that will be performed by Mujica next."

"it is good."

Toyokawa Shoko suddenly became focused and serious, and the two began to discuss with Sora Niijima's ideas.

"Although Mujica is a band that emphasizes the theme of worldview, in order to be popular, it also needs one or two relatively popular songs."

"Xiangzi, take a look at this song "Hello, world!"... Does it fit the theme of your band?" (Original song BUMP OF CHICKEN)

“Here are the lyrics.”

Shoko Toyokawa first read the music score and then began to read the lyrics carefully.

“The world you paint with the colors you choose imprisons you.”

"I can't decide what the meaning of pain is..."

"Sora, this song..." Toyokawa Shoko's eyes moved, completely shocked by the talent of Sora Niijima himself.

"Does it match your idea?"

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head.

But what was spoken were words of affirmation.

"It fits the bill very well. Mujica itself is a collection of people who walk in darkness but whose hearts are toward light. This song... is really great."

"Sora, I want to go back and discuss with everyone about making this song the hit song of our band."

Niijima Sora smiled with relief: "I'm glad to have your approval."

Then the two chatted for a while.

Xiangzi began to ask about his recent rehearsal of the play.

Sora Niijima: "Well... although it went relatively smoothly, I feel like it's still lacking some emotional fluctuations. It's probably my own problem."

"If that's the case, Sora, do you want to try it with me?"

"Eh?"

"Just saying, practice with me."

Toyokawa Shoko looked into Sora Niijima's eyes, gently stroked the side of his face, and began to recite the lines affectionately.

And Sora Niijima was just stunned for a moment, then started to act with her.

The more they got into the play, the more excited they became.

After the performance, Sora Niijima couldn't help but exclaimed: "Shoko... you are really amazing..."

“It’s an experience I’ve never had before.”

At this moment, the door of the science preparation room suddenly opened.

Chihaya Aine, who was standing outside, looked at the two of them with red eyes.

"Since this is an experience you've never had before, Sora, why don't you just act it out with her."

After saying that, Aine, who was wearing Juliet’s costume, ran away without looking back.

“Aine?!”

-

There is one more update to come. Don’t worry. If you are tired, take a break.

222 Only You Are My Juliet

Sora Niijima moved the moment Aine ran away, and immediately caught her.

Chihaya Aine felt the force on her wrist and turned her head sharply.

“Aine.”

"let me go!"

The same sentence.

But at this moment, there was no way that Sora Niijima could let go.

Unlike last time, Sora Niijima has completely understood the meaning behind his choice to have a harem.

In addition to the so-called responsibility, there is also harm.

Although I didn't want to hurt any girl, this incident was unavoidable.

Especially for Aine.

Chihaya Aine looked at him with red eyes, "You're scratching my hand so hard it hurts."

Sora Niijima: "Then I'll be gentle. Don't cry, Aine."

Chihaya Aine: "Why should you ask me not to cry? Didn't you practice well with Toyokawa Shoko just now? Why did you come to me? Why don't you just ask her to be the heroine?"

Sora Niijima shook his head: "Not at all, Juliet, you are the only one who can act."

Chihaya Aine bit her lips, tears streaming down her cheeks. She angrily clenched her fist and punched Niijima Sora in the chest.

"You bastard, you bastard!"

"Since you think I'm the only one who can act, why didn't you come to me two days ago? Why? Do you really care about me?"

“Sora, you…you’ve really gone too far…”

When Sora Niijima heard this, his eyes slowly softened.

“Aine, follow me.”

"Where are we going?" Chihaya Aine did not resist him and let him hold her hand and walk downstairs.

Then we went straight to the center of the corridor on the second floor. Basically all the students in the first year of high school could see this position.

And because Chihaya Aine was wearing Juliet's costume, she was very conspicuous, so everyone around was looking at them.

Sora Niijima brought Chihaya Aine to an open space in the middle.

He looked at Chihaya Aine and said softly, "Aine, we may both be called by the teacher to be criticized later. Before that, I want to apologize to you first."

Chihaya Aine looked at him blankly, not knowing what he was going to do next?

Sora Niijima took a deep breath and quickly started to get into the state.

That’s the state of acting.

Because their play is performed on stage, although Huatong will be prepared at that time, the stage play itself is an art medium with a more exaggerated form of expression.

Therefore, both the lines and the actors' body movements are quite different from normal acting.

Niijima Sora looked at Chihaya Aine and said loudly and affectionately: "Juliet, you are a pure and kind girl. It is only because you met me that you have suffered so much."

"I am truly, deeply sorry for this."

Eh?

Chihaya Aine was completely confused.

This isn't a line in the script at all?

"Yes, I admit that my desires are extremely dirty and evil, and my thoughts are even more absurd and ridiculous, but the only thing that has never changed is my sincere love for you."

"Juliet, I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I will never give up on you. I'd rather give up on myself than give up on you!"

Chihaya Aine was already beginning to feel ashamed, and she noticed that more and more people were gathering around to watch the fun.

And Sora Niijima herself became more and more immersed in the role, constantly delivering various lines by praising her and then belittling herself.

These lines may seem like dialogues, but they are actually what Sora Niijima wants to say to Chihaya Aine through the mouth of the character Romeo, and what he wants to apologize to her.

Chihaya Aine felt the gazes from all directions, and her heartbeat became faster and faster.

Looking at Sora Niijima full of apologies and continuing to make up nonsense lines in front of so many people.

She bit her lip and finally agreed to his play.

"Oh! My Romeo, you are not as bad as you think. I still remember your excellence, your handsomeness, and everything you have done for me."

After Shinjima Sora performed a monologue for a few minutes, Chihaya Aine, in order to avoid embarrassing him, gritted her teeth and made up a segment of her own and started interacting with him.

Sora Niijima: "But, I did hurt you after all, didn't I?"

Chihaya Aine turned her head away: "The rose is so beautiful, but it has thorns on it. It is precisely because of its beauty that so many people take risks and touch it, even if it means bleeding."

"It's just my own fault."

Sora Niijima: "From now on, I will help you get the roses and smooth out the thorns on the roses. You only need to appreciate the beauty of the roses without having to endure the pain."

Chihaya Aine's eyes were evasive. "Don't talk about these fantastic things, Romeo. It's impossible for us to be together."

Sora Niijima: "No! I will not let you go no matter what. Even if it means going to hell, I am willing to do that."

Chihaya Aine: "...Romeo, the time is almost up. If you don't leave now, my mother will..."

As Sora Niijima saw more and more people gathering around them, he felt that their show was indeed coming to an end.

"Before that, can we just hug? Juliet, you know how I feel about you."

Hearing these words, the students around them suddenly became excited.

And a teacher has already come.

"What are you doing here?!"

"Lunch break is almost over, don't you know?!"

"What are you fussing about? What are you fussing about?!"

"And what are you two doing in the middle?"

Sora Niijima didn't care at all and just stared at Chihaya Aine.

Chihaya Aine's tears had stopped at this point, and she faced Niijima Sora's burning gaze with an expression that showed obvious struggle.

But in the end.

"Romeo, you are such a bastard. I am not married yet, and the relationship between our two families does not allow us to be together. Even if you go to hell, you can't do it."

Niijima Sora didn't wait any longer and went up to hug Chihaya Aine.
