I refuse to be a plagiarist

After all, Neon is quite good at music.

This can be seen from the fact that this country's music supported a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers in the country around the millennium.

Compared with the existing and ready-made songs on the market today, people think that Hasegawa's creations may seem a bit...

So in this case, who the singer is becomes a very challenging matter.

After all, we are all still high school students.

Performing in front of a large group of people with the risk of making a fool of oneself... Not everyone can take the risk of losing face.

so.......

However, unlike what everyone guessed, Hasegawa Hide, the person involved, obviously would not have such concerns.

For this song, he was not only fully prepared, but also had unparalleled confidence.

"It's me."

He answered his friends' questions with a smile.

"Of course, Yukinoshita is also here."

"Oh————Is that so...

It’s a really good combination.”

Compared to their previous concerns, after hearing that Hasegawa and Yukinoshita would sing together, everyone instantly shifted their focus to the two of them.

She blinked at the boy.

The deliberately drawn-out tone made Hasegawa, who had just calmed down a little, feel troubled again.

He didn't know why Werther was so sad in "The Sorrows of Young Werther".

But facing these gossiping friends, at this moment, he really felt helpless and helpless...

————————————

As the leader of the team, Yukinoshita Haruno is very thoughtful in choosing the venue and performance time.

The semi-enclosed concert hall allows people to immerse themselves in the performance, and the evening shortly after meal time prevents the audience from leaving in a hurry because they want to fill their stomachs.

In this performance, in addition to Someone's Coral Sea, the girl also prepared some other songs that were more to her liking.

At the entrance of the concert hall, there was a constant stream of students buying tickets.

Because of Hasegawa's secret efforts, most of the students from Sobu High School had already arrived at the scene in advance. Seeing such a lively scene, some people from outside the school who were participating in the college festival also walked towards this direction.

Among these people from other schools, a pink-haired, innocent girl stands out so much.

——Chika Fujiwara

Compared to Shirogane Miyuki, who was tied up by the student council's work and unable to move freely, she also received an invitation from Hasegawa and arrived here early on the first day of the school festival.

"Oh, so much......

According to what Hasegawa-kun said, this should be the place, right?"

Compare with the GPS shared location sent by the phone.

Next to Fujiwara Chika were two people from the Shuchiin Media Department who came with her - Himikaren and Oose Erica.

The three girls were wandering aimlessly on the campus of Sobu High School.

Not long after, Hasegawa, who was originally preparing for the performance backstage, appeared in front of them.

“Sorry to have kept you waiting.

The show is about to start, so I was busy preparing and didn’t have time to check the messages on my phone.”

There were a few spots of sweat on his forehead and his breathing seemed a little rapid.

Even Hasegawa Hide, who had a very strong physique, felt very uncomfortable in such an environment as he had to fight his way out of the dense crowd.

Seeing him look as if he had been through a torture, the three girls were very understanding and said it was okay, while expressing their admiration for the excitement around them.

"......Although I had some expectations before, it seems that Hasegawa-kun's popularity in school is really beyond my imagination.

Look.

The show hasn't even started yet, but there are already so many spectators gathered."

He quietly looked around at the students who had almost completely filled the concert hall.

As an independent activity initiated by students in the school festival, it is not easy to have such high popularity.

In the eyes of Fujiwara Chika and others, even in Shuchiin Academy, where many powerful people emerged, except for those cheating players who used their family resources and forcibly launched dimensionality reduction attacks, the scene created by Hasegawa in Sobu High School was definitely one of the most outstanding.

Facing the exclamations of the three girls, Hasegawa, the person involved, smiled in shame:

“Haha…..really?

However, although I did contribute a little, if we talk about why this place is so popular, the reason lies with someone else.”

"What?" x3

"Ah~

I clearly remember that I should have told you guys before..."

I couldn't help but slap my palm on my forehead and between my eyebrows:

"You can figure it out with your butt. How could these people who came here come for me?

Although I also have to perform, I am essentially just a tool who was pulled here to serve as a soldier.

Look over there. "

He pointed to an inconspicuous corner next to the stage.

There, a girl named Yukinoshita Haruno was quietly observing the situation of the audience in the venue, while giving instructions to several classmates around her who were in charge of the stage.

Although he always maintained an approachable smile on his face, the autonomy and persistence revealed between his brows invisibly released his aura as a team leader.

The familiar aura of Yukinoshita Haruno made Fujiwara Chika and the other two subconsciously think of some classmates in Shuchiin who had strong personalities and liked to take the initiative.

Seeing their sudden silence, Hasegawa at the side also started to explain at the right time:

"Well, now you finally understand, right? The one over there is the real protagonist of this performance.

And most of the students at the venue came here for her."

Helplessly, he slapped his palm between his forehead and eyebrows.

Seeing Chika Fujiwara and the others with their mouths slightly opened in disbelief, Hasegawa Hide suddenly felt that the three young ladies in front of him seemed to have some misunderstandings about his situation at school...

Chapter 77: When you stare into the abyss...

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you.

Just as this sentence said, when Hasegawa and a few people from Shuchiin were "pointing fingers" at Yukinoshita Haruno, Yukinoshita Haruno, who was instructing the team about the performance, suddenly turned her gaze towards the location where Hasegawa and others were, as if she had telepathic communication.

"Hello........"

"what?

Yukinoshita-san, is there anything else you need to arrange?"

He raised his head and looked seriously at the young lady in front of him who was like a socialite in the academy.

Facing the girl in charge of the stage, Yukinoshita Haruno had an unfamiliar expression on her face and pointed in the direction of someone:

“I ask you…

Do you know those unfamiliar classmates around Hasegawa?"

His finger pointed directly at the Shuchiin trio who were chatting and laughing with Hasegawa in the crowd.

Looking in the direction of the girl's finger, after seeing Hasegawa and the others, the passers-by beside them also muttered in confusion:

"Um... isn't that Hasegawa-kun?

He should be changing into his costume backstage, why is he there, with a few girls...?"

Muttering quietly.

But it was at this moment that the classmate finally realized why the expression on the face of the girl next to him suddenly became so abnormal.

[The reason why Yukinoshita-san has become so gloomy...is it because of the girls around Hasegawa-kun? ]

He silently began to look at the three cute girls who were talking and laughing beside Hasegawa Hide.

After careful observation, she was surprised to find that these girls she had never seen before were as beautiful as Yukinoshita Haruno, who was very popular in school.

[No wonder it's like this....]

I muttered to myself subconsciously.

As a member of Sobu High School, and especially a member of the same class as Yukinoshita and Hasegawa, in this girl's heart, Yukinoshita Haruno beside her, and Hasegawa Hide who was chatting and laughing with the three beautiful girls in the distance, are definitely in love.

In fact, she is not the only one who has this idea.

In fact, other students in the class have similar attitudes towards Hasegawa Hide and Yukinoshita Haruno.

Although Hasegawa has been denying this matter, these two guys who perform a life sitcom in class every day are simply trying to cover up their crimes in everyone's eyes.

——Why are you pretending? This old man is so bad!

So after seeing the Fujiwara Chika trio, especially discovering that they were as pretty as Yukinoshita Haruno, the girl immediately felt that she had "understood" the thoughts of the school idol next to her.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel the urge to laugh.

[I really didn’t expect that…]

[Yonano-san is such a jealous person. ]

When she thought about the usually perfect superhero Yukinoshita Haruno getting so angry over such a trivial matter, this strong contrast made her suddenly feel that the image of her in her mind seemed to have changed a little.

Compared to the previous illusion, this snowy scene seems to be more real and lovely...

"So, they are not from our school?"

"Well, that should be correct.

Judging from Hasegawa-kun's appearance, they should be friends who were invited from other schools to cheer for us, right?"

"maybe."

He replied indifferently.

Compared to the thoughts of the classmate next to her, a strong tornado had already set off in Yukinoshita Haruno's heart at this moment.

【friend? 】

When they were chatting together before, she had never heard Hasegawa Hide mention these friends.

Because of the behind-the-scenes investigations she did during the first semester, Yukinoshita Haruno thought she had a fairly good understanding of someone's behavior patterns and social circles.

As a workaholic, apart from a few close friends of the same sex, he basically does not have any extra social activities or entertainment, let alone relationships with the opposite sex.

He was always like a lone wolf in school... Is it possible for a guy like this to suddenly become so close to a group of obviously unusual girls in a crowd?

【Something is wrong...】

[Hasegawa, this guy, and these women must not just be casual acquaintances! ]

Staring intently at someone in the distance and the three chattering visitors from outside the school beside him.

Looking at the group of four people in the distance talking and laughing, as if no one else could interfere, today, more than a month later, the girl's proud heart was once again covered with a heavy resentment.

Different from the previous frustration.

This time, she felt annoyed that her favorite toy was secretly stolen by other naughty kids...

[Am I jealous? ]

[Jealous of a peer outside the school... No, it's impossible, Yukinoshita Haruno, how could you have such thoughts just because of a cricket, Hasegawa. 】

Constantly giving yourself psychological hints in your mind.

Faced with this strange emotion in her heart, the girl felt that she must have suffered from nervous breakdown because she had not had enough rest recently.

"Yukinoshita-san... Yukinoshita-san?"

“…Forget it, let’s not worry about that guy for now.
