I refuse to be a plagiarist

"Xiu-jun, do you have any good ideas?

You don't want me, your teacher, to make a fool of myself later, do you?

Na! "

It was like a drowning person seeing a life-saving straw.

After thinking about it fruitlessly, Fujiwara Chika looked at the disciple in front of her with wide eyes, her face full of hesitation of "trying everything possible to cure an illness".

After all, words once spoken cannot be taken back.

The complacent and cruel words had already been uttered a few minutes ago. Now, let alone making a fool of oneself, even if one deserted the battlefield, it would probably not look too good.

It is said that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, but if you look at this sentence in reverse, you will get a different interpretation.

It is precisely because one has nothing that one becomes reckless, but when a person has many precious things, his style of doing things will gradually become restrained.

Just like Fujiwara Chika in front of us.

Glory and dignity make her confident and dazzling, but to maintain this pride, she has to work equally or even more hard behind the scenes.

"But even if you say so........."

[I'm not Doraemon, how can I possibly solve this kind of natural law problem? ]

I complained helplessly in my heart.

However, facing the pitiful appearance of the girl, Hasegawa naturally could not say anything to undermine the morale of his own side.

It makes the already not-so-wealthy family even worse off...If this kind of human suffering happens to us, it is better to avoid it.

"In that case, why not...let Ishigami go up first and hold it?

Taking advantage of this time difference, Fujiwara, you can also look for some temporary solutions on the Internet and debug it urgently.

I think there should be some tricks.”

The power of the people is great.

As an individual living in the present, Hide Hasegawa is well aware of the convenience of standing on the shoulders of his predecessors.

A mere problem of hiccups should have been raised by people who were troubled by it a long time ago and they should have sought help on the Internet.

As for whether Ishigami would be troubled...Hasegawa felt that there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Unlike Shirogane Miyuki, whose singing skills seem to be cursed, he still has a considerable degree of confidence in the skills that Ishigami has mastered in this area.

It's just that compared to mainstream songs, the other party prefers ACG culture, such as the opening and ending credits of cartoons, and interludes.

But this is very common in Hasegawa's view. After all, everyone has his or her own hobbies, and niche sometimes does not mean bad. On the contrary, it sometimes gives people a sense of novelty that is eye-catching and unique, and they can't stop from then on.

Furthermore... unlike Japan, which generally holds a contemptuous attitude, Hasegawa himself does not have any tinted glasses towards ACGN products.

Besides, those present are not outsiders, so even if Ishigami sings some songs in a more "social death" style, I believe that no one will laugh at him.

【........Bar?】

The originally confident thoughts gradually began to waver.

Considering the general environment of Japan, if Ishigami really sang a song that was too cute, Hasegawa would have a hard time judging how the people present would react.

Oh, by the way, except silver.

After all, this guy can hardly sing, so he has no qualifications to judge others in terms of material selection.

[But the problem is that Shirogane doesn't seem like the type to stab a friend in the back...]

His eyes secretly glanced at Hayasaka Ai who was sitting in the corner and watching him silently.

After Secretary Fujiwara ran out to adjust himself, leaving behind herself and Shirogane, the girl was the only witness present.

In this case......

[It seems there is nothing to worry about, right? ]

Honestly speaking, this guy's trust in Hayasaka Ai is, in some sense, even greater than that of Shirogane and his younger brother Ishigami, who have full bonds with their part-timers.

After all, the other party is so reliable.

If he didn't feel it was really inappropriate, sometimes Hasegawa would have wanted to steal the girl from Kaguya-sama, whom he had only met twice, and bring this Doraemon-like girl to his home.

So after a brief thought, he realized that as long as Fujiwara, the biggest variable, was sent away, Ishigami would no longer be at risk of embarrassment.

As for Hayasaka's personality in school...

Anyway, we already have hip-hop hotties, so adding another entry for "ACG entry" should not be a big problem.

Moreover, Fujiwara Chika ran out to adjust herself and Ishigami's little brother had a limited music library. The former was eager to show herself in the best posture, while the latter wanted to evade as much as possible, which were actually complementary things.

[Hey... maybe I am just worrying too much. ]

[Ishigami is just not very good at interacting with outsiders. He is a versatile and promising young man. He is not as biased as Shirogane, who could fail in such a small matter.]

I unconsciously gave a little brother a kiss in my heart.

After giving Hayasaka a knowing look, Hasegawa made up an excuse and temporarily left the room with Secretary Fujiwara, who was worried.

On the other hand, while the two were surfing the Internet in the corner of the corridor, looking for life tips to solve hiccups, Ishigami in the room instantly realized the opportunity and took the microphone and walked onto the stage without hesitation.

“Oh~ It’s a song from an anime.

Ishigami-san, are you ready to start?"

There was an expectation in his tone that seemed very natural.

After Hasegawa left, Hayasaka Ai easily fit into the school's personality, with an appearance that made people feel a little overwhelmed, and expressed her admiration as a little girl watching from the sidelines.

The girl next door's relaxed attitude instantly calmed Ishigami's originally somewhat uneasy mood.

In this harmonious atmosphere, he even performed at 200% of his level, incorporating into it the emotions he felt when watching the anime, causing the "always prepared" Shirogane to tremble again.

[This guy Ishigami.....]

The villain in my heart gradually showed a bad state of being weathered.

Looking at Ishigami Yuu who was singing with his chest in the center of the stage, Fujiwara Chika who had adjusted herself and returned to the room with full energy, and Hasegawa and Hayasaka who were smiling and casting pure eyes at her...

I subconsciously unbuttoned my collar, as if doing so would make my increasingly heavy breathing easier and smoother.

At this moment, an unprecedented sense of crisis gradually filled the boy's heart.

Chapter 142: Equal Treatment

"Oh yeah~

I didn't expect that the Cricket Stone would also have such a high level.

I have a new appreciation for you."

In the face of Ishigami's outstanding performance, Fujiwara Chika crossed her arms across her chest and gave her own evaluation from the perspective of a mentor.

In terms of hard power, the girl does have the capital.

Coupled with the natural suppression of the senior sister over the junior brother...So in the face of the other party's condescending words, Ishigami Yu did not show any resistance, but looked at the senior sister in question, who seemed to have stepped into her home court and was full of the pride of a strong man, with a provocative look with a hint of inferiority.

——Senior, it’s your turn.

--Humph!

The two people's eyes met in the air, and a flash of intense lightning and sparks that were imperceptible to outsiders burst out.

Faced with the challenge from her younger brother Ishigami, which was somewhat rebellious, Fujiwara Chika felt obliged to accept it and gave a powerful answer with her actions.

The elder sister is the queen, she shines with confidence.

Of course, the song sung by Fujiwara Chika was not this kind of lively song full of life and very friendly style, but an English song that Hasegawa did not understand very well but did not prevent him from appreciating its beauty.

The melody was majestic and yet gentle and melodious. It reminded him of the instrumental music that Hayasaka had shared with him a long time ago, and which he later heard she would often listen to while taking a bath.

[As expected of Secretary Fujiwara, he can easily handle a song of this level! ]

Compared to ordinary pop songs, this kind of opera-like repertoire obviously poses a more stringent test of technical skills.

But the pink-haired girl in front of him sang the whole song as easily as eating and drinking, which really made Hasegawa sigh: Don't judge a book by its cover.

Oh, this "huge size" certainly does not refer to the girl's plump breasts that are far beyond the size of her classmates, but her superb attainments in the field of music.

Hasegawa might not be clear about how powerful the other party is, but he only knows that the level that the other party has reached is a height that he will find difficult to reach in a short period of time, and that is enough.

"hey-hey......."

Touched his round belly.

Facing Hasegawa's respectful look, Fujiwara Chika also grinned and gave a thumbs-up to this respectful disciple in response.

His success just now was also inseparable from the opponent's off-field assistance.

If something strange really happened during the process, then today's party might be accompanied by some stains that would be difficult to erase in a short time...

————————————

Faced with difficulties, some people choose to face them head-on without fear, while others choose to assess the situation and quit while they are ahead.

There is no absolute right or wrong between the two, and the choices made will vary depending on different conditions and situations.

I really want to say this, but...

[I never expected that Shirogane would use the excuse that he accidentally ate something that hurt his throat at night to escape!]

Lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling in silence.

As the other party's partner, Hasegawa had even prepared a plan to propose a chorus at the last minute in order to provide the other party with an opportunity to fish in troubled waters and fill in the numbers.

After all, according to Baiyin himself, every time when he sang the school song in chorus, he would just follow the lip movements of the student leading the singing in front of him, and he has excellent professional experience of more than five years since elementary school.

The perfect stage is set.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually chose the worst lot just to maintain the so-called strong image.

"Whoo~"

【This is really........】

As a bystander, Hasegawa could no longer figure out whether this was simply a case of insincerity or whether his friend had some shortcomings in his character that needed to be improved.

In his opinion, this is ultimately a problem that Silver needs to face.

After all, for students, eating together, singing songs, etc. are relatively interesting social activities within the scope of their financial strength.

I can get away with it easily this time. After all, they are all acquaintances and no one will say anything.

But what if it's someone else who needs to show off?

"Hey...what do you think about this matter?"

He turned his head to look at the sojourning girl sleeping on the floor under the bed.

The black hair is fixed at the ends with a hair tie to prevent it from becoming messy or tangled while sleeping.

Facing Hasegawa's call, the little girl raised her head, and as she thought, a distressed expression gradually appeared on her face:

"How would I know this?"

【….】

"Well, I shouldn't have expected too much from you."

This little girl named Nagato has nowhere to go for the time being and can only live in the rental house of this kind-hearted person.

Occasionally, I would go to a shop that Hasegawa was familiar with to get a feel for the daily life of a part-time worker.

But compared to this meager income, there is obviously still a big gap to survive in this city.

At least in terms of rent, it is a considerable burden for the little girl.

In addition, there was a concern that the other party would be seduced by some unknown gray industry spies... Considering this possibility and risk, after some contemplation, someone finally left a private space for the other party in this rental house.

However, for the person involved, after some observation and being convinced that Hasegawa was not a bad guy, the girl named Nagato was no longer so sensitive to these boundaries, and instead regarded this rental house as her second home.

As for the first home...for the girl, it is better to bury those leftovers that were divided among the aunts and uncles after her grandmother passed away deep in her memory.

While studying hard, I also constantly plan for my future.

From this point of view, Hasegawa still felt very gratified with his teaching.

Although he would occasionally complain in his heart about the mentality of an old father like himself, it is undeniable that in the process of getting along with each other, watching Nagato's transformation from decadence and confusion when they first met in Xiaohei Internet Cafe to his current state full of hope for the future, one does have a sense of "no pain, no gain" satisfaction.
