Tokyo Soft Rice King

When Kuroba Akira saw that the band members were also clapping and celebrating, he walked over with Asato Hitomi.

Mirai Totoro was the first to see them. She smiled very happily and made a double-handed V sign to them.

"Hey! How's it going? Pretty good, right? Even though this is just a temporary collaboration, it's super cool, isn't it?"

Her little face turned red with excitement, it seemed that she was really enjoying the music.

Although it was just a band performance at a high school cultural festival, it was also her first time on stage. She performed in front of a large group of people and successfully integrated her soul into the performance.

Playing in a band and stuff... it's so much fun!

Hei Yuming also smiled and was about to praise her when a woman suddenly appeared, bumped his shoulder away, and ran towards Kotori Mirai.

When she saw this woman, the smile on Takanashi Mirai's face disappeared and she frowned.

"What are you here for?"

"..."

The girl lowered her head and bit her lower lip. For a moment, she couldn't say anything.

As a result, the drummer and pianist on the other side also showed surprised expressions after seeing her.

"Yoshimura!"

"Tomodai..."

The person who came was Tomoyo Yoshimura, the band's original lead singer.

The drummer, Teru Uehara, who has a hot temper, directly mocked her.

"Tsk! I don't know what you did, but it's such a shame! In the end, it went through smoothly!"

Keyboardist Aguri Takamatsu, who previously had a good relationship with Yoshimura Tomoyo, also expressed his disappointment.

"Tomoyo...you really went too far this time."

These two people were also very unhappy with Yoshimura Tomoyo. It was because of her gossip that she angered Mirai Takanashi, causing her to suspend school and quit the band. Later, she was so angry that she refused to apologize or find a new guitarist. In the end, she quit first. She was really a beast.

It can be said that the band was disbanded by her alone. She is a band-breaking maniac.

So they thought that it was Tomoyo Yoshimura's fault that Hikawa Makoto disappeared. She must have been jealous of Makoto Hikawa who replaced her, so she tried to prevent her from performing at the cultural festival the next day, so that the band would be really finished.

However, this time they did misunderstand. Hikawa Makoto's disappearance had nothing to do with her. She came here specifically to apologize.

After finally mustering up the courage, Yoshimura Tomoyo bowed 90 degrees and apologized to the band members.

"I'm sorry...! Kotori, Uehara, and Aguri!"

After the fight with Mirai Takanashi, Tomoyo Yoshimura was isolated by everyone in the class. After learning the ins and outs of the incident, everyone knew that she was a girl who talked bad about others behind their backs.

In addition, their class is a class with a strong academic atmosphere and all the students are good at studying. They just give a cold shoulder to this bad apple who disrupts the collective order.

So, Yoshimura Tomoyo suddenly became an ignored and invisible person in the class, the same treatment as Kuroba Akira last semester.

At first, she didn't understand what the problem was. They had always gossiped together before, but after the incident, those "good sisters" suddenly turned against her.

So she turned around and hated those who "betrayed" her, and resented Mirai Kotori for putting her in this situation, but she never reflected on her mistakes.

Just before she was about to fall into extreme thoughts, it was Ziyin's singing that moved the girl who was almost going astray.

It is precisely because Yoshimura Tomoyo is a lead singer after all, and has practiced singing there, that she knows very well how difficult it is to move people's hearts with singing, so she can empathize with them even more.

What a pure, ethereal, and soul-cleansing song...

If only I had continued singing, if only I hadn't had a conflict with Kotori, if only I hadn't done those stupid things...

Just go and apologize after the show.

Only in this way can I start over.

"I'm really sorry to you all, especially to you, Kotori... I shouldn't have said such bad things about your mother! I'll do anything you ask me to do, please forgive me!"

"Hmph... Then I'll punish you by making you watch the latest episode starting from Episode 2172 of Miss Sea Fan."

"Huh? What?"

"I see that you at least have ears and can tell good from bad. Then go listen carefully to the animation dubbed by my mother, and then think back and reflect on how inappropriate your words were."

Sure, Mirai, you have a high EQ... Hei Yuming secretly gave her a thumbs up.

Kotori Mirai gave the other party a way out. She neither said "I will never forgive you" to continue to intensify the conflict, nor did she say too much "punishment" to make the other party lose face. It can be said that she responded very beautifully.

It seems that Mirai Kotori is very worldly-wise and she is indeed a good daughter and an obedient child to her mother.

"...Okay! I will! So, will you come back to school?"

"No, not anymore."

"Um...I'm sorry..."

"Don't be so self-indulgent. The reason I didn't come to school was not because of you."

Mirai Takanashi looked past Yoshimura Tomoyo and glanced at Kuroba Akira. A confident and hearty smile appeared on her face. She put her hands on her hips, raised her head proudly and declared.

"I decided to drop out of school for the sake of my future!"

"I see... you've found what you want to do."

Tomoyo Yoshimura looked at Kotori with envy. She could understand this seemingly extreme choice. After all, she also wanted to do so.

For example, a kid named Jing Qin also dropped out of high school and started band activities in the big city of Tokyo... However, this is just an animation plot, please do not imitate it. If you do this in real life, you will really starve to death.

Now Xiao Niaoyouweiwei felt really happy.

I had a great time playing on stage this time, and I was collaborating with Shion. After the performance, Yoshimura Tomoyo even came to apologize. I felt like I had been constipated for many days and it was all gone in an instant, and I felt extremely relieved.

The last remaining knot in school was also untied, and Takanashi no longer had any regrets in the future.

Now she can really be a full-time stay-at-home without any worries.

After the apology, Yoshimura Tomoyo looked shyly at Shion who was drinking water to moisten her throat, and asked Takanashi Mirai with a blushing face.

"Also, um... who is your new lead singer? She's not a student at our school, right?"

"Why don't you just ask yourself?"

"C-can it?"

Just as Ziyin was about to walk over to Hei Yuming, she walked towards Takanashi Mirai and took off her mask along the way.

This was a shocking discovery, and it made Yoshimura Tomoyo gasp in shock.

hiss……

This is... too beautiful.

Crystal beads of sweat rolled on the ends of Ziyin's hair, reflecting dazzling light, like tiny diamonds inlaid in it. The corners of her eyes were moistened by the sweat, and there was a hint of hazy moisture.

Ziyin raised her hand and gently lifted a few strands of wet hair that were stuck to her face. This simple action seemed extremely elegant, as if even if her hair was soaked with sweat, it could not affect her innate beauty and grace at all. Instead, it made her exude a unique and heart-warming charm in this heat.

I originally thought it was just a beautiful voice, but I didn't expect it to have such an unbeatable appearance...

This made Yoshimura Tomoyo, who had originally planned to thank Shion, change his words.

"Um, um! Could you please sign an autograph for me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people around looked over here, because they also wanted Ziyin's autograph.

Especially the people behind the scenes saw Ziyin without a mask, and they wanted to know her name even more.

However, Ziyin refused with an embarrassed expression.

"Sorry... I haven't debuted yet, so I don't have a stage name yet. I can't sign for you yet."

Yoshimura Tomoyo dropped her shoulders in disappointment, and the others had the same reaction, but she quickly cheered up and looked up and said to Shion.

"Then after you debut, I will support you! I will definitely support you forever!"

It seems that Ziyin has gained a new little fan girl... Hei Yuming is also happy for her.

"Oh, thank you. Then you are my number one fan."

Shion smiled back, and just this smile made Yoshimura Tomoyo so happy that he almost fainted.

Number one fan…she said I was her number one fan!

At this time, Xiao Niaoyou suddenly interrupted and shouted.

"No! I'm the number one fan!"

"W-What did you say! It was this... um, this onee-sama who personally certified me as the number one fan!"

"Look at you! You don't even know her name! And you dare to say you're her number one fan! I already knew that!"

"If you know, tell me!"

"I'm not telling you!"

Well, these two started arguing again in order to compete for the title of number one fan.

Ziyin didn't want to continue making trouble with them, so she walked around them and went straight to Hei Yuming.

She is going to check her own results.

Ziyin came to Hei Yuming and took a look at the arm that An Litong was holding. That was the place where she had held it before. She felt a little unhappy in her heart. She did not hide it with acting skills, but showed her dissatisfaction directly on her face.

Anri Hitomi very tactfully let go of Hei Yuming's arm. There was no need to offend Ziyin when she was in such high spirits.

It is not a wise move to deploy the gravity Shura field here, but Ziyin now wants to confirm whether she has the approval of the wise monarch.

"Mingjun, did I do it?"

"Well, you did it, congratulations, that's a great start."

"Well, thank you..."

She gave the warmest smile to Kuroba Akira, and then faced the great devil Asato Hitomi with the coldest expression.

"So, what do you think?"

"Haha, I didn't intend to come over to see you so proud... Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Ziyin's eyes lit up, she understood the meaning, which was 'he belongs to you today'.

But she didn't smile, instead she stared at Anri Hitomi with a stern face, asking with her eyes, "Then what are you still doing here?"

What I mean is, I'm going to be intimate with Mingjun, so you'd better get out of here.

Anri Hitomi received the signals from her love rival, and her signature smile turned into a scary fake smile. Then she said what she had come here specifically to say to her.

"Whether you like it or not, we'll be meeting many more times in the future, so many times that you might even feel nauseous and want to vomit just by looking at me."

"snort……!"

"I came here to tell you that the wise ruler hasn't chosen me yet, so there's no need to despair now. Winning or losing can't be determined in a short time, so let's compete fairly."

Anri Hitomi extended her right hand, gesturing for a handshake.

Ziyin didn't want to shake hands at first, but for Hei Yuming's sake, she reluctantly extended her hand in response.

Their hands touched and then separated as if there was static electricity, and they were unwilling to hold hands for even a second longer.

"Then let's go, Mingjun."

"it is good."

It was also because of Anri Hitomi that a very clear evaluation system was established in the "battle" for Kuroba Akira.

Whoever can help Hei Yuming more and prove his or her own value will have a better chance of being qualified to be alone with him.

This performance was a great success, and Shion made a great contribution to it. She successfully proved her worth, so today is Shion's turn, and Anri Hitomi can't say anything.

"Wait, the celebration party is about to start, aren't you coming to join us?"

Just as Hei Yuming and Ziyin were about to leave, Senior Miao came over and called them.

"..."

Ziyin didn't answer, but turned to look at Hei Yuming.

Hei Yuming was thinking of an excuse to shirk responsibility. He was not interested in celebration banquets or anything like that. Moreover, if he stayed, a gravity distortion field would definitely form between the squad leader and Ziyin, and he would feel extremely uncomfortable being sandwiched between them. Therefore, Hei Yuming still wanted to separate them as much as possible.

At this time, Anri Hitomi came over with a smile and helped explain to Senior Miao.

"Senior Miao, it's getting late. Zi Zhigong lives quite far away. If she attends the celebration banquet, she might not be able to get home in time. So let Mingjun take her home now."

"I see... What a shame. Murasakimiya-san was the biggest contributor to this cultural festival performance. I was planning to thank you publicly... Of course, I haven't forgotten the reward we agreed on. When your school holds its cultural festival, I'll visit on behalf of my school and bring it to you, Murasakimiya-san."
