It's a rare scene among the muses.

As the leader of the team and at the same time acting as the spiritual leader, Sui Naoguo stood uncharacteristically in the center of the crowd and was silent; As a lubricant and conflict mediator in the community most of the time, Nanqin Li is in the center of attention, and her expression and eyes, which have always been as warm as jade, have a little more persistence and determination.

On the contrary, it is the easiest to give orders among the girls, and at the same time, the most trusted, or a certain majesty, Haiwei and Eri, remain silent on the side.

But this slightly strange scene did not last long, the girl with a golden hair tied up in a smart high ponytail behind her head, after coming back to her senses, coughed softly twice, and only after everyone's eyes were focused on herself did she speak: "The little bird was right just now, in March, the three of us will graduate." There is only half a year left to be with you like this...... There is only half a year left for everyone to enjoy it......"

"And," Nozomi Tojo took over with a smile, "the only time I can be a campus idol is when I am in high school." So, if you want to participate in "LoveLive!" This is the last chance. ”

Hearing such a reasonable and irrefutable word, so straightforward that it was impossible to ignore, the six girls in the first and second grades in the muse couldn't help but show a slightly lonely look.

Seeing this, Eri smiled, shook her head and said, "It's not like I'm graduating soon, but Nozomi was right just now, if you don't grasp it this time, then ...... So, I actually want to continue. After graduating, some people went on to pursue their careers, but nine of them participated in "LoveLive!" , there is only one chance left. ”

"And ......" Eri paused, pursed her thin lips, and showed a slightly subtle smile, "Although I unexpectedly won the second place last time, I was actually a little unconvinced in my heart. ”

Tojo Nozomi also smiled when he heard this, and covered his mouth and teased: "Eriri is such a person who does not admit defeat~"

"I hope you're ......" Eri glanced at her friend with a little disgust, but she didn't mean to blame at all, "Whew...... It was because I saw "A-RISE" last time, which can be said to be in the best condition, that I realized that the gap between us and them is not that big. ”

"Maybe we can't compare to each other in terms of the connection of dance, the change of position, and even the cooperation with each other, but those are things that are extremely easy to make up for with hard work and sweat, and this is exactly what we need to practice in the next six months. And in terms of songs, in terms of each other's appearance, I believe that the nine of us will definitely be better than each other. ”

The former student council president's words were very firm and smooth, and I think I heard about the next "LoveLive!" When it was about to be held, I started to make a draft in my heart. And her serious attitude finally made Sui Naiguo's heart, which was already lost because of Nanqin Li's words, shake it even more.

"What's more, don't we still have a 'hidden tenth'?"

When she said this, Eri's tone was a little unnatural, as if she was not familiar with the words used to introduce the protagonist or a powerful character who was about to appear in a hot-blooded shonen manga.

However, the rest of the people present couldn't help but lose their minds for a moment when they heard these words.

However, Nanqin Li, who was the deepest involved in the second dimension, recovered from the agitated mood before when she heard the words, and then said softly with an irrepressible smile: "What are you in Eri?" That's the kind of saying that can only be found in comics. ”

The rest of the girls all nodded in agreement. However, Nozomi Tojo and Mahime seemed to think of someone all of a sudden, and they were slightly surprised.

Eri frowned and thought about it seriously for a while, then sighed clearly, and said with a little emotion: "Sure enough, as long as people get along with each other for a long time, it is really easy to influence each other." ”

That kind of thing, all the girls here don't say it, and she won't take the initiative to read comics or light, so naturally she can only unconsciously hear similar words from the "tenth person" who was not there, and then thought of it for a while, so she blurted it out.

The smile on Tojo's face was even worse, did the secret way really deserve to be the "Pope"? The result of the card has actually worked to this point?

"Everybody ...... sure enough"

Sui Naiguo's expression was stunned, and he unconsciously muttered such a sentence in his mouth.

Hua Yang, who was shy by nature, stood up silently, fiddling his fingers behind his back with both hands, and said in an unprecedentedly serious tone: "Yes, everyone must think so. Even if you are eliminated in the preliminaries, you want to leave traces of the efforts of nine people together. ”

Starry Sky Rin showed a big smile and agreed, "Rin thinks so too, meow!" ”

Even Mahime, who has never been very involved in this kind of brainstorming or voting by a show of hands, walked up from the rear to the front at some point, squinted one eye, and said indifferently with confidence and pride that could not be concealed: "I should be able to try it, right?" ”

"Everybody......"

Sui Naiguo's expression was even more confused, and he subconsciously turned his gaze on the two friends who had played since childhood.

Nanqin Li responded with a smile: "Although I said that before, as long as it is the path that Xiaoguo chooses, I will accompany you?" ”

"What kind of cunning statement are you......" Sui Naiguo smiled dumbly, and then turned his head to look at the other girl, "What about Xiaohai?" ”

The blue-haired girl also smiled, shook her head and said, "Because of the previous cultural festival, you must be worried that you will cause trouble to everyone again, right?" You feel that you can't be so focused on accomplishing something that you can't see around you and ignore the feelings of the rest of the people. As the student council president, I can't cause trouble for the school - I'm honestly relieved that Honoka can have such an idea, but I'm not happy at all. ”

Sui Naiguo sniffed and said dissatisfiedly, "What...... Speaking of which, Xiaohai, you understand everything! ”

This sentence seems to be an unreasonable accusation, but it is more like a lie to cover up the true emotions in my heart.

As a friend of Honoka for more than ten years, Hai Wei knows very well what kind of person the girl in front of him is, even more than herself. So she didn't get angry or speak, just smiled and looked at each other with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

The same is naturally true of Nanqin pear. The two people who knew Honoko best didn't speak, and the rest—even Nicole Yazawa, who was now eager to knock the hesitant girl's head twice—remained silent, waiting for the final result.

In the atmosphere of long and short silence, the orange-haired girl who was in full view of everyone finally gave up and sighed, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "All ...... It's all seen through. ”

Immediately after, her expression became serious, and she slowly spoke: "At first, you don't have to think about anything, but now you occasionally don't know what to do. But...... It was the stage of dreams, and it was also the stage that I had been on once, but unfortunately missed out on the championship. So—"

"—I really wanted to participate. It's not that you want to prove anything, and you don't have to come back with a championship, but if you're determined to do it, you have to do your best. However, after all, there is still a job as the student president, so I am afraid that sometimes it will be troublesome for you. ”

The next moment, Sui Naoguo's blue eyes, which were shallower than the sea and deeper than the sky, suddenly lit up: "Actually, I really wanted to participate from the beginning!" ”

The girls smiled with relief at the same time, chuckling and making a mess with Suino Guo.

Hai Wei did not participate in this activity, standing outside the crowd, somehow, the track that had been played on that glittering stage echoed in his mind: instead of hesitating, it is better to give it a go, tomorrow is full of possibilities, that is the unknown power......

Is this the posture that Yujun you, imagining the muse should have?

……

Tu Su: "So, you've decided to participate in the next 'LoveLive!' Gone?"

Kotori: "That's right~ Although it took a lot of effort to persuade Honoka."

Tu Su: "She originally longed for that stage more than any of you, and it was only a matter of time before she figured it out. But the kind of attribute that will drop the chain at a critical moment, I don't know who I learned it from...... Obviously, that girl hasn't come out yet."

Kotiri: "The girl?"

Tu Su: "Ahaha...... Just let me talk to myself!"

Kotori: "Even if you say so...... Yu-kun."

Tu Su: "Okay, okay...... I really don't know when your seemingly gentle and gentle temperament, but extremely stubborn, little bird, was developed, and the trickiness is simply the same as Kato's. It's just a character that's still in my head, and one of the protagonists of a long story full of mystery, and I don't know if it's going to end up in this world."

Nan Qinli sat at the table, looking at the news, and couldn't help but smile. After laughing, her face became a little heavy - of course she knew who the Kato in Jiang Yu's mouth was, although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes. Ever since she knew that the boy was playing games, she had simply asked the people she worked with him, and naturally understood what the names that occasionally popped out of his mouth really meant.

To make an analogy, the relationship between those groups of people is like the muse of today.

There may be disagreements, there may be occasional disputes, but they will also have a good conversation, and they will also laugh and scold.

She doesn't like the word bond, because of the influence of a certain work, she always feels that this word has a kind of tie pull, and it can even be said that it is too obsessed.

The right word, then, is simply "friend".

A group of Muses are friends, so a group of people in "Simple Plan Softare" are naturally friends.

But Nanqin Li also knows very well that if it were just a friend, she would not appear in a conversation with another friend by name.

Unless that person is each other's friend.

But now that it's not, there's only one possibility.

One is a possibility that she doesn't want to see.

……

Xiao Bury: "Brother! Brother! How does it feel to be in Kyoto?"

Tu Su: "It's done."

Xiao Bury: "Yo~ You know I don't want to see these two words."

Tu Su: "(laughs) Isn't it good to tell you slowly when I come back?"

Xiao Bury: "Got it~ stupid brother! Goodbye!"

After turning off the screen, Xiao Bury threw the phone directly into the quilt, wrinkling Qiong's nose cutely, with a dissatisfied face.

Just when she was about to ignore this matter anymore, while no one was in charge, and playing the game to her heart's content, she suddenly froze, picked up the mobile phone from the quilt again, and tapped a sentence with her fingers, and after being stunned for a long time, she deleted it word by word.

Finally, the girl put on her hamster hood, snorted, threw her phone on the bed again, and walked out of the room.

And in that sentence that no one sees, it is written:

"Don't! Because...... It's a little lonely......

On the other side, in a hotel in Kyoto.

Jiang Yu was wiping his hair while replying to the text message on his phone. However, since he has an almost ordinary social circle, he comes on a study trip together, so the number of messages to reply to is not too much.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't know what he was busy with, and he hadn't sent him a surprising text message recently, which made Jiang Yu feel at ease, but also felt a little indescribable Xiao Suo.

If not, please keep busy!

Jiang Yu, who had visited several famous temples during the day, couldn't help but pray sincerely in his heart.

"Yo! Busy business, Ah Yu? ”

Then, just as he was replying to his sister's text message, Lun wiped his hair and pushed open the door and walked in. When he saw his friend with all his mind on the screen of his mobile phone, he couldn't help but let out such a joking sound.

Jiang Yu didn't raise his head when he heard this, and he didn't even shake his shoulders, and responded casually: "Although I don't know what you mean by this authentic senior otaku who only loves the second dimension, but let's just say that I'm just chatting with Xiao Burying." ”

Lun was also speechless for a moment, but suddenly his eyes rolled again, and with his rich (game) experience, he answered: "I didn't specifically point out anything, and wanting to cover up this kind of thing often means not to admit yourself?" ”

Jiang Yu just received the news that Xiao Bury announced the end of the chat and the breakdown of the brother-sister relationship (fog) again, he got up from the ground, put the mobile phone in his pocket casually, and at the same time took down the towel that fell to his shoulder, and stabbed it without being salty: "The protagonist Jun who can't even figure out his own affairs, please don't learn the role of friend A, try to break the non-existent deadlock through words, or to put it plainly, to promote the development of the plot." ”
