The heroines want to talk

"Kasumigaoka-senpai." Nagase sat back down.

"Why are you looking for her?"

In response to her doubts, Nagase showed the focused expression that only famous detectives would show when solving a case, "Because, after committing a crime, the criminal will return to the murder scene."

"I failed to confess yesterday, so I must have thought of coming here to observe the other person's performance today." Nagase said logically: "If it were you, wouldn't you want to see if the other person would regret it if you failed to confess?"

"But it seems that I didn't see it. It seems that Kasumigaoka-senpai doesn't care about Natsumi-san."

Ying Lili was speechless. What on earth was her good friend thinking about every day?

"There will be girls who are so thick-skinned that they will go up to him even if they are rejected after they confess their love to him."

Eriri's words were not agreed with: "How do you know that Kasumigaoka-senpai is not that kind of person? What if she is used to being the center of attention of a group of boys and now wants to try to pursue other people's feelings? You can't say for sure."

Nagase Mai patted Eriri's shoulder and said, "But you can rest assured now. Kasumigaoka-senpai has probably given up."

Ying Lili adjusted the school uniform tie on her chest and said casually, "I wasn't thinking about these things at first."

Being too persistent is just ruining yourself. Any girl with a little self-respect would not do this.

"Service Club...what a strange name." Nagase Mai heard the discussion of the people around her and repeated it in a low voice.

"Is this the club that Xia Shi joined? I feel like I've never heard of it before."

As she spoke, she looked at Eriri and found that she didn't show any strange expression, so it seemed that she understood something.

"The Service Club is a club that accepts commissions and helps others." Eriri recalled what Natsumi had said to her when they talked on the phone before.

Not only that, Natsumi invited Eriri to go and take a look, but unfortunately, the art club's daily activities were very long, and Eriri was too embarrassed to wander into other clubs.

"Have you heard about what happened yesterday?" There were whispers around again.

Ying Lili looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was two boys she didn't know.

Another boy replied: "Of course, it was such a big fuss that the whole school went crazy about it..."

He hadn't finished speaking when he noticed Eriri's gaze and said excitedly, "Look, that's Sawamura-san over there. Why is she here too..."

"Oh no! I'm falling in love." The boy at the beginning covered his heart with his hand and looked like he was about to die.

Eriri looked away.

'Falling in love?'

No! It was lust.

Eriri remembered what Natsumi said about love at first sight.

Falling in love with someone just by looking at their face, what else could this be but lust?

Too superficial, these boys.

[Next, there is a piano performance by the Service Club...]

The announcement ends.

The next moment, the curtain on the stage slowly opened, and under the spotlight, a short-haired boy picked up the microphone. His fair and handsome face shone brightly under the spotlight, and his slender figure matched with his untidy uniform gave off a rebellious vibe...

The entire venue fell silent for a moment.

Ying Lili also stood there in a daze. She covered her heart which was beating faster and faster, and felt like she was immersed in the ocean of love.

"I seem to have fallen in love at first sight."

Hearing her mumbling, Nagase Mai complained: "Aren't you already in love with him?"

Eriri blushed and whispered, "I like it even more! Is that not okay~?"

Nagase listened to her shy and cute words and felt that there was no essential difference between this darling of the art club and those superficial boys. They were all pure visual animals.

On the stage, the lucky cat belonging to the service department began to introduce himself: "Good morning, students..."

As he spoke, this person who attracted everyone's attention glanced around.

"He's looking over here!" Ying Lili heard the words of a girl in the front seat.

"Hey, so handsome."

Eriri listened to their discussion and looked towards the stage.

Their eyes focused together, and then she saw the slightest smile on the other person's lips.

Even in the corner, even in the dim auditorium, he still saw himself at a glance.

Ying Lili lowered her head shyly.

Mai Nagase turned her head to look at her and sighed inwardly.

Poor Eriri, she has been played around in his hands.

……

On the stage, Xia Shi continued his opening remarks: "We are members from the Service Club, and we hope that everyone can have fun... By the way, I heard that the Taiyaki sold by the football club next to the playground is quite delicious. You can go and try it if you have the chance..."

Xia Shi originally wanted to continue chatting.

"Den!"

Uh~

Well, it looks like someone is getting impatient.

"Today's song is - [Ichiban no Treasure]."

As soon as he finished speaking, the low sound of a piano slowly rang out and Xia Shi raised the microphone.

Next.

The boy's gentle singing voice lingered throughout the auditorium; the soft and elegant tone diluted the sadness of the melody, like new buds in spring or a pool of clear water scooped up from a clear lake in summer.

The entire venue was immersed in it.

……

Her fingertips danced on the keys as Yukino sat upright on the piano chair, looking at the young man not far away. In this place, even his profile could not be seen. His gaze, his expression, everything could not be seen with the naked eye.

But Yukino knew that he was looking in a certain direction, from the beginning to now.

It’s only a few meters away, so far.

I sat here, but I couldn't even understand who he was looking at.

The same was true for the audience in the audience. They could only hear the boy's singing but didn't know who he was looking at.

Yukino silently averted her gaze.

What is the difference between on stage and off stage?

"Natsumi doesn't like Kasumigaoka-senpai..."

Who is he looking at now?

When the song ended, Yukino stopped playing and Natsumi put down the microphone.

The next moment, Yukino raised her head slightly.

The other party also turned his head.

At this moment, she saw Xia Shi's smile, as bright and confident as ever.

Now, there was only one person left in his eyes.

----

Chapter 227 Cultural Festival 20

After singing one song, the audience asked for another one. The girls were the loudest. I don’t know whether they just wanted to listen to the song or for some other purpose.

In Eriri's opinion, this group of people making a fuss were just coveting Natsumi's body.

"The clothes are too open." Eriri felt that Natsumi's clothes were a bit revealing, and her shirt was exposed, and her body outline was vaguely visible, which felt a bit inappropriate.

However, what surprised Eriri the most today was an item that Natsumi suddenly took off, which was the pair of black glasses.

Originally, Xia Shi’s presence was not very obvious. At least, when he walked in the school, almost no one would deliberately look at him. But now, the rate at which people turn around to look at him is frighteningly high.

When we get a chance, let him wear glasses.

Ying Lili originally didn't believe the other party's statement about the seal, but now, she is somewhat convinced.

Maybe those glasses are some kind of magical monster prop?

Black-framed glasses...what kind of monster's item could this be?

……

Another ten minutes passed, and the curtain slowly fell.

Xia Shi turned around again and gave Yukino a somewhat smug smile.

"Hehe, that's great, Minister."

Yukino felt that she was a fool for being so sentimental just now, "Natsumi, come over and move the piano."

Upon hearing this, Xia Shi's previously somewhat arrogant demeanor suddenly wilted.

"Hey!!! Xijiu!!! Come out!" Xia Shi began to call for help.

He has a great singing voice, even when he calls out to people it's very moving.

However, Nishikyu from the track and field club didn't seem to think so. He came over with several other members, and then they all raised their middle fingers to Xia Shi.

"Is there no way around this joke?" Xia Shi gave a middle finger helplessly.

"When we outrun you one day, our feud will be over!" Xijiu patted his shoulder.

Next, several people started moving.

As high-spirited as Xia Shi was on the stage just now, he looks as embarrassed now. Of course, he is just pretending.

He now has a physical fitness nearly ten times that of an ordinary person, so moving this thing is easy for him.

But in order to prevent the members of the track and field team from hurting each other, he chose to give in.

After struggling to carry the piano away and placing it in the stage preparation room, Xia Shi clapped his hands and then took a few breaths.

Yukino followed them all the way and was now standing next to Xia Shi.

"Hey, Xia Shi, do you want to come with us to the track and field club? We're holding a haunted house this year." Xi Jiu invited enthusiastically.

"Where did you get the venue?" Xia Shi had no memory of this.

Probably handled by the Minister.

Yukino's calm voice sounded: "We used the equipment storage room."

"Oh." Xia Shi thought about it and decided not to go in order to avoid their secret revenge. It's not that he is afraid of ghosts, he just doesn't want to go. "Haunted houses are boring. I want to go watch a movie from the photography department later."

By the way, the theme is a love movie and the ticket price is 200 yen, which is very cheap.

"Forget it, we can't do anything to you if you don't come." Xijiu didn't think the other party would come.

"By the way, Xia Shi, the literature department said they would publish a tabloid to report your scumbag behavior." Another member of the track and field club whispered nearby.

???

"Do I have any grudge against them?" Xia Shi's face was full of question marks.

Xi Jiu explained: "The literature department is the territory of senior sister Kasumigaoka. Although she quit the literature department shortly after the start of this year, most of the people in the department joined because of her reputation."

"No, they like Senior Kasumigaoka, why are they taking their hatred out on me?" Xia Shi was confused.

What does my rejection of that bad woman have to do with you lickers?

Besides, the most important thing is, damn, Kasumigaoka Utaha is a member of our Service Club?

Oh no, my teammate is about to backstab me.

"Didn't you coolly reject Kasumigaoka Utaha's confession yesterday? Now, retribution has come." Xijiu spread his hands. As a modern guy with a girlfriend, he couldn't really understand what those people in the literature club were thinking.

"But is there anything about me that could be used by them to make up rumors about me?" Xia Shi asked back.

"They said they want to pair you with Sawamura-san." Nishikyu scratched his head, "It seems like they want to make people who like Sawamura-san become your enemies."

Xia Shi became even more speechless after hearing this.
