"Just kidding." Chu Yue smiled and said, "I also said just now, Sui Naiguo's mother is not such a person, and she won't be angry." ”

"Well, after talking for a long time,......" Mahime said, "who calls the phone?" ”

Several people looked at the little bird and Haiwei together. These two people are compared to the hair of Suinaiguo...... If Honoka's mother was really angry, she wouldn't be angry with the bird and the sea......

"No, it's okay." The little bird was stared at by everyone and said with some embarrassment.

"Honoka's body is much better." Hai Wei said, "The last time I went to see her, my aunt said that Sui Naiguo had a fever, but for safety, it was better to stay at home and rest for two days." ”

"That's good." Chu Yue said.

"In that case, let's all go and visit her together, shall we?" Hika said.

"Yes, Hinata occasionally comes up with some good ideas." Chu Yue said with a smile.

"Hey, hey." Hika just smug for a moment, and then immediately reacted: "What does 'occasional' mean, hey!" ”

"Well, without further ado." Chu Yue said, "After school tomorrow, everyone will have nothing to do, right?" ”

"I'm OK." Mahime said.

"Does Huayang have any arrangements?" Rin asked Hanayo.

"No......" Hua Yang shook his head.

"We're fine." Rin hugged Hanayo and said.

"Hika's words......" Chu Yue looked at Hika, and then said, "μ's not much activity now, it seems that he has been very idle." ”

"Hmm......" Hika found herself at a loss for refutation.

"So, what about the little bird and Haiwei?" Chu Yue asked, "Haiwei still has a bow society, right?" Bird's words......"

Xiao Bird has been preparing for going abroad recently, but Xiao Bird has never talked about it in the club, so Chu Yue didn't mention it.

"It's okay, Little Bird and I go to visit Suino every day." Hai did not answer Chu Yue.

"Me too." The bird nodded.

"Then, the rest is ......" Chu Yue looked at Nozomi and Eri, who had not spoken.

At this time, everyone realized that Eri, who has always been the most reliable senior in the team, seems to have not spoken since entering the house?

Nozomi also noticed that Eri seemed to be distracted, so he suddenly stretched out his claws and grabbed Eri's chest.

"Huh!" Eri immediately called out, "What are you doing, Nozomi!" ”

"Hey, hey." Nozomi looked at Eri with a smile.

When Eri looked back, she saw that everyone was looking at her, and she immediately blushed and said, "That...... I...... I'm sorry. ”

"Are you alright, Eri?" Hai Wei asked, "You seem to be absent-minded all the time." ”

"Eri, are you still blaming yourself?" Chu Yue asked.

Eri hesitated for a moment, then nodded sadly.

"If I hadn't persuaded Chu Yue in the first place, it wouldn't have been like this......" Eri said, "It's all my fault, if I listened to Chu Yue that day and let Sui Naiguo rest well......"

"What are you talking about, Eri!" Nozomi interrupted Eri and said, "Even if you didn't say that at the time, Hono would definitely force herself on stage regardless of her body, right?" ”

"yes." Hai Wei also said, "Sui Naiguo's character, I and the bird know best. What she was determined to do, five cows couldn't pull it back. Eri, don't blame yourself anymore. ”

"Hmm......" Eri nodded, but still didn't look completely relieved.

"Eri." Chu Yue said, "The past is in the past after all, so don't keep dwelling on it." The most important thing now is that Suino Guo can be safe, right? ”

"That's right." Eri said with a smile to Chu Yue.

Chu Yue nodded, and then said to Hai Wei and Xiao Bird: "Then, please trouble Hai Wei and Xiao Bird to go to Sui Naiguo's house and ask if we can go to visit Sui Naiguo after school tomorrow." ”

The next day, after Haimi and Kotori told everyone about Honoka's parents' answers, everyone came to this famous old Japanese confectionery shop after school: Homura Wagashi.

"Excuse me." Chu Yue said and opened the door of the store.

Before everyone could speak, Eri, who had been blaming herself, bowed her head to the inside and said, "I'm really sorry! ”

Fortunately, at this time, there was only Suinoka's mother in the store, Takasaka Juansui alone. If there were other guests, it would be embarrassing.

When Takasaka saw Chu Yue and the others, he hesitated and said, "You guys ......"

Just when everyone thought that Takasaka Kinho was going to be angry, Takasaka Kinho smiled and continued: "What do you say I'm sorry for? ”

"Huh?" Eri looked up strangely at Takasaka Ayaho.

"She must have yelled 'it's okay, it's okay' again, and then took everything on herself, right?" Takasaka said, "She's been like this since a long time ago. ”

"Look, I'll just say, right?" Chu Yue said to Eri with a smile.

"Besides, she looks bored right now, come in." Takasaka Kinho said.

"Is that okay?" Eri asked.

"The body of the spike is ......," said the bird.

"The fever has subsided yesterday." Takasaka said, "You should have recovered by now, right?" It's just that the doctor said that it is better to recuperate at home for a few days. ”

"Great......" Eri looked relieved.

"Thank you, auntie." Chu Yue said to Takasaka Silk.

"It's fine." Takasaka Juansui smiled and said to Chu Yue, "You can come and visit Sui Naiguo, she will definitely be very happy." Okay, hurry up. ”

The nine of them walked upstairs together and came to the door of Sui's room. Hai Wei opened the door and said, "Sui Naiguo." ”

Suino sat up on the bed, and although she was still wearing a mask, she had already pulled it down to her chin. When Hai Wei opened the door, Honoka was eating pudding.

Sui Naiguo put down the pudding and said, "Haiwei, little bird, and everyone! It's all here. ”

The little bird said, "Great, Suinaka, you can get up." ”

"Hmm." Sui Naiguo put down the pudding and pulled the mask back on, and continued, "Thanks to the cold, my mother allowed me to eat three puddings." ”

"I'm worried about you." Hika said, crossing her waist.

"It's the same as your mother said." Nozomi said.

Everyone entered the house, and Chu Yue, who was at the back, closed the door again. When I turned around again, I found that so many people had come to the bedroom, and it looked a little crowded.

"Sui Naiguo, how is the leg?" Rin asked.

While dancing that day, Honoka sprained her leg when she fell.

"Hmm...... It's nothing. Sui Naiguo pulled up the quilt, revealing his bandaged legs and feet: "The doctor said that if the swelling is gone, it will be fine." ”

"Great." Hua Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

"yes." Eri said, "I, everybody, are worried about you. Eri said.

"Especially Eri." Chu Yue smiled and said, "Because I helped you speak that day, Eri has been blaming herself until today." ”

"Ah, this ......" Sui Naiguo lowered his head embarrassedly, but immediately raised his head again, showing a somewhat regretful expression: "This time, I'm really sorry for everyone, I'm sorry for Chu Yue." ”

"I'm sorry for what to say now." Chu Yue said, "Moreover, you are not alone in the fault this time. ”

"yes." Eri said, "If it weren't for me......"

"Eri, that's what I said." Chu Yue said, "In that case, I'm the one who should bear the greatest responsibility, right?" If I hold out a little longer and don't let Honoka come to power......"

"It's not Chu Yue's fault, and it's not Eri's fault." Mahime said, "If you want to say it, it's everyone's fault. ”

"yes." Hinata said, "Then again, Mahime, don't you have something to give to Honoka?" ”

"Hmm......" Mahime took out a CD from her school bag, handed it to Honoka and said, "This, I played some light tunes......"

"Mahime has become much more frank." Chu Yue said with a smile.

"yes." Everyone laughed together.

"Ah, thank you." After Suinaiguo finished speaking, he was immediately ready to get out of bed to get his laptop and listen, but everyone saw Suinaiguo wanting to get out of bed, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly stopped it.

"Really, what are you doing?" Haiwei stopped Sui Naiguo and put a dress on Sui Naiguo: "I'm just recovering from a serious illness, don't move." ”

"Well, thank you." "However, I can go to school the day after tomorrow." ”

"Really? That's great. Little Bird said.

"Hmm." Honoka nodded, "So, although there isn't much time left, I want to hold another concert." You see, it's still a while before lovelive starts, right? How can I say it, it's a compensation...... So I wanted to do something more. ”

Unexpectedly, after Sui Naiguo finished speaking, everyone suddenly fell silent.

"What's wrong, everyone?" Sui Nao Guo looked at everyone strangely.

"Spike fruit." Chu Yue walked to the front from the rear, arrived at Sui Naiguo's bed, and said, "We, we don't participate in lovelive anymore." ”

"Huh?" Sui Nao Guo was stunned.

"Although you said it, it's still a while before lovelive starts...... But in reality, there is less than a week left. Chu Yue said, "And ......"

"I'll tell you." Eri said, "Also, the chairman of the board of directors said, 'Are you pushing yourself too hard?' Idol activities are not held to cause such a result. ”

"I didn't decide it alone." Chu Yue continued, "This is decided by everyone after discussing with everyone. And...... μ's on the leaderboard, and has fallen out of the top 100. ”

"How, how can it be ......" Sui Naiguo was a little unacceptable for a while.

"It's our fault." Hai Wei immediately said, "Let Sui Naiguo force yourself too much......"

"No, it's not ......," Honogo said, "I got carried away......

"Sui Naiguo ......" the little bird also advised Sui Naiguo not to be too sad.

"It's not one person's fault." Chu Yue said again, "Sui Naiguo is indeed too reluctant to himself, but each of us has an unshirkable responsibility. ”

"Chu Yue is right." Nozomi said.

"It was my fault that I didn't take care of each member's situation before the live started; I wanted you to rest that day, but Eri spoke for you, and it was Eri's fault; When Sui Naiguo was forcing himself, Haiwei and Xiaoniao failed to persuade you, which was the fault of the two of them; The rest of the rest are the same......"

Sui Naiguo lowered his head and did not speak.

"Sui Naiguo......" Hai Wei wanted to persuade Sui Naiguo again.

"It's not too early." Chu Yue suddenly said, "Everyone, let's go." ”

"Huh? ...... so soon" Before Rin could finish speaking, he was stopped by Hua Yang pulling his clothes.

Everyone could see that there was too much loss on Suinao's expression.

Chu Yue reached out and touched Sui Naiguo's head, and then took the lead out of the room. The others followed behind Chu Yue and left one after another.

After everyone left, Sui Nao Guo slowly got out of bed alone, then took the laptop out of bed, sat on the bed and turned on the computer.

With trembling fingers, he opened Lovelive's campus idol rankings, and Suino Guo slowly, slowly slid down.

In the top 20, there are no μ's names anymore...... Suino Guo typed μ's searched for it, and found ......

One hundred and eighty-seven......

This dazzling three-digit number constantly stings Sui Naiguo's heart. It's as if it was a dream when there were more than a dozen......

Outside the house, Suinoka's sister Xue Sui shouted, "Sister! Sister? ”

However, Honoka looked at the computer screen, and although he heard Yukiho's voice, his brain was filled with μ's ranking, and there was no extra place to process this sound at all.

"The meal is ready, will you eat downstairs today? Sister ......"

Xue Sui said and came to the door of Sui Naiguo's room, but as soon as he opened a gap, he was stunned.

Sui Naiguo kept trying to hold back her tears, but she couldn't hold back her tears...... Drip by drop on the computer screen.

Xue Sui didn't make a sound, quietly closed the door again, and left.

After crying for a while and feeling better, Suino wiped the computer screen and clicked on μ's detail page.

There are videos of μ's concerts, as well as comments from fans.

Unfortunately, there is no video of the last live here. In the past, it was all recorded and uploaded by Chu Yue, but this time there was no equipment that could be used because of the rain, so it was not uploaded.

However, what makes Sui Naiguo care is the following comment.

"In the last live, it seems that one of the members had an accident?"

"It's the captain Suino Guo, and the first song at the concert just ended, and he fell on the stage."

"Later, the captain changed to a different person, and although he jumped well, he ......"

"What? The captain has changed? ”

"It's not that the captain has changed, but the captain's position has been changed to someone I don't know."

"What kind of person you don't know, this person is μ's agent, who is also from the Otono Wood Board Academy, and his name is Chu Yue."

"Chu Yue? I've never heard of it before. ”

"I danced well, but the others couldn't seem to keep up."

"It's because you haven't practiced together at all, right?"

"Dare to go on stage without practicing together?"

"It's a pity, it's always been a good concert before, but I don't know why this time it's like this."

"Here's a video recorded by the audience on their mobile phones at the time, you can take a look: video link"

"Dare to go on stage with such a dance? Passers-by turned black! ”

"Although I have always supported it, but such a performance, alas, ......"

There are many people in the comment area who are still posting new comments, some of these comments are expressing dissatisfaction, some are explaining the situation at the time, and some are introducing to everyone who Chu Yue is.

Although Chu Yue's performance was very good, Chu Yue was not Sui Naiguo after all. For fans, no matter how beautiful Chu Yue is, no matter how beautiful her dancing is, and how skilled her movements are, she can't replace μ's Sui Naiguo.

There were even many uninformed people who directly verbally attacked Chu Yue. This made Suinago even more sad.

A few days later.

After Honoka's illness was cured, he went to school as usual. In less than a week, Lovelive's final appearance on campus idols has been decided. Naturally, there are no μ's in the top 20, and the first place is undoubtedly A-RISE.

Walking with the birds on the way to school, there are posters of school idols on both sides of the road. It's just that none of them are μ's, and most of them are A-RISE.

Other students from Otono Wood Board College on the same road also discussed:

"Huh? So they quit? ”

"Well,It seems like there was an accident at the school festival.。

"It's a pity that the ranking has obviously come up."

Hearing the alumni say this, Honoka stopped and stared at the A-RISE poster on the wall.

"Don't care." Little Bird said.

"Hmm." Honoka nodded.

In the distance, a large screen in the building was showing a live broadcast of A-RISE's interview. As the No. 1 campus idol all the time, A-RISE's popularity is not comparable to μ's.

"Suinao, that ......" the little bird wanted to tell Suinago about going abroad, but when he saw Suinao's expression, he couldn't say anything.

Not far away, Hika, Eri, and Nozomi in the third grade looked at Honoka here.

"It's still the same." Hika said, "It's been like this since I went back to school. ”

"Hee." Eri said.

"Leave it to me." Nozomi stretched out her dragon claw hand.

Sui, who was sad, suddenly felt that his Ou faction was being insulted, and this familiar touch ......

"Hey!" Sui Naiguo covered his chest, and turned around and shouted in shame and fear.

"If I'm in a daze like this again, I'm going to really exert my strength next time!" Nozomi looked like she wasn't satisfied.

"I, I know!" Spike is the Khan.

"How long are you going to stare at that poster?" Hika stepped forward.

"Cheer up, everyone will rest assured." Eri said, "Or do you want people to worry about you?" ”

"That's not the case...... Honogo said.

"Starting today, everyone needs to get back in touch." Hinata said, "The way you look, you're only going to cause trouble for everyone." ”

"That's right." Honoka regained some of her spirits.

"Moreover, our original purpose was not to participate in LoveLive, but to keep the school alive." Eri said.

At this time, Chu Yue and Zhenji came over.

"What's the matter, Suino Guo is in a daze again?" Chu Yue said with a smile.

"It's fine." Honogo said with a smile.

"Well, that's good." Chu Yue said, "At noon, everyone will gather on the rooftop, I have something to say." ”

"Something?" Spike fruit is strange.

"We'll find out then."

Midday.

When Chu Yue took Zhenji, Huayang, and Rin to the rooftop, she found that everyone else had already arrived.

"Yes, it's so early." Chu Yue smiled and said, "And...... Are you all looking forward to restarting the event? ”

It turned out that the people who arrived early had already changed into their usual practice clothes, and it seemed that Chu Yue had called everyone here to start practicing this time.

"Eh, isn't it practice?" Hono asked.

"Well, let's start tomorrow." Chu Yue said, "This time, the main thing is to talk to you about a few things. ”

"First of all, the chairman of the board of directors told me that our activities can still continue, so don't worry about it."

And then ...... If you don't know it, the school has decided to continue recruiting students next year. ”

"Huh?!" Everyone shouted in surprise.

"At this time, the announcement of continued enrollment should also be posted." Chu Yue said, "Do you want to go to the corridor to have a look?" ”

As soon as Chu Yue finished speaking, the others had already rushed to the door together.

Sure enough, an announcement titled "Next Year's Enrollment Announcement" had been posted on the blackboard in the corridor. As mentioned above, because the volunteer survey of junior high school students came out, and because there were many people who were willing to enroll, I decided to continue recruiting students.

In other words......

"We made it!" Sui Naiguo shouted happily.

Seeing everyone's happy looks, Chu Yue smiled and didn't say the last thing.

In fact, the last thing is that Little Bird wants to study abroad. Although the bird kept saying that he wanted to say it himself, the bird still didn't say a word about it.

At the end of class in the afternoon, Chu Yue called the bird out. Hai Wei saw the bird come out alone, and he was a little concerned, so he followed.

"Give." Chu Yue handed the drink she bought from the vending machine to the bird.

"Thank you." Little Bird said.

"What is Hai Ye hiding, come out." Chu Yue suddenly said loudly.

"Huh?" The bird didn't understand what was going on.

Hai Wei came out of the corner of the wall, and the little bird understood.

"Sure enough, that's the thing...... Hai Wei said as he walked over.

"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded, and said to the little bird, "Little bird, have you decided when to say it?" ”

"Originally, I was going to talk about it today......," said the bird, "but I was so sad to see Honoka in the morning, and so happy to see Honoka at noon." ”

"Well, then, let's talk about it in the evening." Chu Yue said.

"Well, let's talk about it tomorrow......" said the bird.

"Little bird......" said Haiwei, "the later you say it, the more painful it will be." ”

"Well, I know......" said the bird, "but what would Honoka say if he consulted him before deciding?" As soon as I think of this, I can't speak......"

"If it's Sui Naiguo's stupid person, I'll keep the bird......" Chu Yue said.

"yes......" Hai Wei said.

Little Bird, in fact, is expecting someone to keep him.

However, whether it is Chu Yue or Hai Wei, they are both rational people who are more emotional than emotional. Both knew that for Little Bird, studying abroad was the right decision.

Only Sui Naiguo, a fool, would be reluctant to let the bird leave.

That's what the birds are looking forward to......

Dreams and friendship cannot coexist at this time. What the little bird is really entangled with is this.

"I'm sorry, birdie." Chu Yue said suddenly.

"Huh?" The little bird looked at Chu Yue.

"Haiwei." Chu Yue suddenly said to Hai Wei, "If the little bird still refuses to say it tomorrow, you can say it for the little bird." ”
