This is not the date I wanted.

Then, without waiting for Kotori to respond, Shidou lowered his head and slowly moved closer to Kotori's cheek.

"Wait! Shidou, I'm not ready yet--"

"Whoo~"

“——Ugh!?”

Then, she felt a sudden gust of hot air blowing across her earlobe, causing Kotori to scream with her shoulders shaking.

"Ahaha, Kotori is just a child after all. It's ten years too early for her to meddle in Onii-chan's business!!"

"——Shi, Shido!!!"

Ignoring the angry Kotori, Shidou laughed a few times and then left decisively.

==============================

"Honey honey! Kotori-chan, she did it."

“Is that so? That’s so great—Wow!”

"Honey! Do you really not need my help?"

Hearing the sound of things falling in the locker room, Mijiu couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"No, it's okay. It will be fine in just a little while."

Meng Yue replied calmly, but from her voice, Mei Jiu could still hear a hint of embarrassment.

"Honey. It's really too much for you to change into a dress by yourself. Honey, if you don't want the staff to help you dress up, I can help you put on clothes and makeup~ But in exchange, I want ten minutes of skin contact~"

"That's why I don't want it!"

"Hmm - Honey, you're really being polite. It doesn't matter that we're all girls."

Seeing that Mengyue rejected her kindness, Meijiu complained with some dissatisfaction.

"That's not the question... No, I'm sorry, Miku. I'm really glad you're willing to help me, but..."

"Well... never mind. If Honey wants to do it on his own, it would be rude of me to force my way in. By the way, Honey, have you figured out how to make Darling fall in love?"

Chuckling and blinking, Mijiu tactfully changed the subject.

"This one……"

There were some awkward sounds coming from the locker room.

"You haven't thought about it yet, right?"

"Well--"

Meijiu's words left Mengyue speechless for a moment.

"As expected. Honey has looked a little weird since we started our date today."

"Was I that obvious..."

"No, not really." Miku tilted her head and thought, then answered, "But I don't feel as comfortable as usual."

"Haha... sorry."

"No need to apologize." Miku smiled and shook her head, saying, "In fact, I feel a little relieved to see that Honey also has a clumsy side. Ah - that's right!"

Suddenly, Mijiu had a flash of inspiration and a great idea emerged in her mind.

"Honey, since you haven't decided yet, do you want to be in a group with me?"

"A group... is it like Yui and Yakuya, where two people act together?"

"That's right!"

Miku nodded excitedly.

"Honey, you will be in a group with me later and we will go on stage and sing together to make Shidou thump."

“Singing…”

Meng Yue couldn't help but fall into deep thought. It was indeed an exciting proposal. He could sing all of Miku's songs, and he should be able to imitate Miku's dance. It was not impossible for the two of them to perform on stage together. As long as he was careful not to drag Miku down, he could easily make Shidao's heart beat.

"..."

After a moment's silence, a helpless sigh came from the other side of the curtain.

"Miku, thank you for your kindness... I finally let it go."

"Eh?!"

Seeing that Mengyue rejected her proposal, Meijiu widened her eyes in surprise and asked hurriedly.

"Why? Honey, if you're afraid of making mistakes, it's okay. I'll help you. Besides, Honey's singing and dancing are pretty good, aren't they?"

"That's not the question."

Meng Yue smiled bitterly, waved her hand, and answered softly.

"I am a fan of Miku."

"——!?"

"I like Mijiu's songs and dances very much. I always think Mijiu is so dazzling and beautiful on the stage. So, rather than going on stage with you, I would rather be a listener and enjoy your singing from the audience."

There was no lie in her words. Meng Yue could answer with certainty. At that time, the reason why she agreed to become a fan of Miku was not because she wanted to please Miku, but because she liked Yuxiao Miku's voice and her songs from the bottom of her heart.

Although she knew that this choice was disadvantageous to her, Mengyue was not so tactless as to make an unnecessary appearance when Miku showed her most beautiful moment to Shidou.

"Honey..."

"I'm sorry, Miku. It's rare that you have such good intentions."

“I love you so much!!!”

"Eh?!!!"

Before Meng Yue could understand what the cheers outside meant, the locker room curtain was suddenly pulled open and Meijiu pounced towards her.

"Wait! Let go! Let me go, Miku!"

"Really, really, really! Honey is so mean, saying such cute things. I have to give up the duet concert I was planning, right?"

"You have already prepared for this!?"

"Oh, Honey, you haven't put on your clothes yet? You look so pretty that I can eat five bowls of rice! I see! You did it on purpose because you expected me to come in. Then, I'll start eating without hesitation!"

“No! No! Yes————————————————————!”

————————————————I am the dividing line after the ups and downs, just kidding————————————————————————-

(Almost defiled!)

Hiding in the corner of the locker room and shivering, Mengyue looked at Meijiu with lingering fear.

"Ha~ Very satisfied~"

Miku's face lit up and she said with a satisfied look.

"Well then, idol Yuiya Miku, in order to defeat Darling——attack! Honey, you have to do your best too!"

"Slowly, slowly..."

He forced a smile, and after watching Meijiu leave, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly closed the door curtain.

"Huh...Miku, you're a little too enthusiastic."

After taking a deep breath to calm down, Mengyue shook her head with a wry smile.

"Okay...what should we do next?"

Looking at the evening dresses hanging on the wall and the various cosmetics scattered around the dressing mirror, Mengyue couldn't help feeling a headache.

To be honest, I have made no progress at all, just like Mijiu said!

Meng Yue really wanted to slap herself. Who did she think she was when she just insisted that there was no problem?

"It's half past eight... there's still time, take a break."

After checking the time on her phone, Meng Yue let out a sigh, picked up her coat and put it on, then sat on the floor leaning against the wall. She took out the wireless headphones from her pocket and put them on her ears.

[Hi~ Darling. My beloved Miku is here~]

As soon as I turned on the headphones, I could hear Mijiu's sweet voice that made me feel soft.

"As expected of Miku."

Meng Yue couldn't help but sigh in admiration. If an ordinary person heard this, their heart rate would probably have exploded in an instant.

In the headphones, after a very corny conversation between Shidou and Miku, jazz music began to play.

This is Miku's signal to prepare for singing.

A sweet and soaring voice sang. The tune was very unique, and the lyrics were in English, which was completely different from the style of the songs Miku usually sang.

However, the feelings contained in it have not changed at all. ——It is a very sweet love song.

Listening to the song, Mengyue seemed to be able to imagine that, among the performers holding musical instruments and women in luxurious clothes performing on the stage in the hall, Yui Miku was standing in the center of the stage, singing into a microphone that was flashing silver light.

"Ah... I'm glad you didn't agree. I'm really envious of you for being able to hear Miku's new song live, Shidou."

With a smile on her lips, Mengyue closed her eyes and hummed along with the tune.

【Darling——I love you!】

"I love you...Pfft!"

Listening to Mijiu's ending lyrics that sounded like a confession, Mengyue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Based on this sentence, it is impossible for Shidao not to be shot down."

As expected, the music that represented Shidou's heartbeat soon began to sound in the headphones.

"Okay - the break is over, so it's time for me to continue preparing."

15 Girls dancing under the lights in the dark night (Part )

==============================

"Completely prepared."

The clothes were OK, the makeup was OK, the jewelry was OK, and the small props she would need during the journey were also put on. After confirming that her equipment was foolproof, the girl - Tobiichi Origami slowly raised her head.

Seeing that Miku's strategy was about to come to an end, Origami volunteered to raise her hand and become the next contestant.

It is forbidden to take off clothes and attack the other party. In order to prevent the other party from escaping, it is not allowed to force a kiss, and it is not allowed to do anything more than kissing. ——Although Kotori warned her several times before leaving, Origami still had a confident look on her face.

It is true that she was forbidden to forcefully kiss Shidou, but if Shidou took the initiative to ask for her, there would be nothing she could do.

Fortunately, she had a magic potion in her arms that could turn this idea into reality.

(How could it be a coincidence?!!!!)

Ignoring the complaints from the other voice in her head, Origami walked briskly towards the hall where Shidou was.

However, halfway down the corridor, a figure made Origami stop in her tracks.

"...Liang Yi Meng Yue."

"Yo…Origami."

Meng Yue greeted Origami with a wry smile.

Originally, for Tobiichi Origami, the date with Shidou was definitely her top priority, and she had no intention of wasting time on other things. If it were any other time, she would definitely ignore the brown-haired girl in front of her and leave.

But what was speechless was that Liangyi Mengyue was leaning against the wall with her hands, walking slowly forward with her legs together, and her feet in high heels were shaking constantly, as if she would lose her balance and fall to the ground if she was not careful.

Watching this scene, Origami couldn't help but think of the novice on the ice rink who was trying to move along the edge.

"Are you okay?"

Origami asked worriedly. To be honest, she herself was a little surprised by her own behavior.

“Hahaha… no problem. You’ll get used to this kind of thing. It’s Origami’s turn next, don’t worry about me, just go ahead.”

Meng Yue shook her head to indicate that she was fine, but her livid face did not look like she was in good health.
