"Chu Yue!" Although I don't know what's going on, Mahime still quickly chases after her.

"Chu Yue, what's wrong?" Sui Nao asked strangely.

"I don't know......," Hai Wei said.

"Shall we catch up with it too?" Bird asked.

"There are Chu Yue's friends over, let's forget it." Hai Wei said, "Moreover, we don't know where Chu Yue ran away." ”

"That's right......," said the bird.

"Probably because of ...... Worried about our future path to medical idols? Hono Guo looked at the idol name recruitment announcement he posted on the bulletin board and said.

"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?" Hai Wei said, "Okay, okay, now is not the time to worry about Chu Yue. It's less than a month before the concert, so let's get ready. ”

"If the concert is successful, Chu Yue will also be very happy, right?" The little bird also said with a smile.

"Well, that's right!" Honoka nodded, "Then, the next step is the practice of songs and dances!" ”

So, the three of them went looking for a place where they could practice their songs and dances.

Not long after the three of them left, another person came in front of this bulletin board - Koizumi Huayang.

"Idol ......," Hua Yang muttered to herself.

"Huayang pro!" Rin on the other side waved to Hua Yang and walked over, and when he saw Hua Yang as if he was thinking something, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"No, it's nothing ......" Huayang is still the same.

"Well, let's go back." Rin said.

"Hmm......" Hanayo smiled and followed Rin.

On the other hand, although Zhenji, who is not good at sports, went to chase Chu Yue, she has not been able to catch up.

In the end, Mahime saw Chu Yue turn a corner, but when she caught up again, she couldn't see Chu Yue's figure anymore.

"Really, where have you been?" As she spoke, Mahime continued to look for Chu Yue.

At this time, Chu Yue was in a club classroom behind the corner. This club classroom is the club classroom of the idol department.

Hika was watching another idol's concert on the computer in the club classroom, and suddenly heard someone rushing in, and was so frightened that she turned around and stood up: "Who is it?!" ”

Then I saw Chu Yue who was bent over and languishing, with her head down.

Because of Chu Yue's long black hair, this look has a scary feeling...... Mahime was also frightened for a while and didn't dare to speak again.

At this time, Chu Yue didn't know where she was there, she unconsciously walked a few steps forward, and then saw a table and chair, so she sat down and lay on the table.

I, what am I doing...... Why do I cry? Why should I run away?

In my head, there was a mess...... I'm sad...... But what exactly is it that is sad?

What the hell have I forgotten?

"That ......" At this time, Rika walked towards Chu Yue step by step and said, "You...... You okay? ”

Chu Yue raised her head, and then saw that it was Hika, so she said casually: "Oh...... It's Hika......"

"You, do you know me?" Rika looked at Chu Yue carefully, and suddenly pointed at Chu Yue and said, "Ah! It's you! ”

It turned out that Nicole recognized Chu Yue - the person who recognized herself at the gate of UTX Academy yesterday morning.

However, Chu Yue did not respond to Hika at all.

found that Chu Yue's state was not right since she came in, and Hika was also a little infected, so she sat down next to Chu Yue and said, "Hey, what happened to make you so sad?" ”

"......" Chu Yue didn't speak.

Ignored!

Hika showed an angry expression, but immediately recovered again, and said to herself in her heart: No, Hika, to be a smiling Hika, you must keep smiling!

So, Hinata smiled again and said, "This junior, I have the latest A-RISE concert video here, let's watch it together, shall we?" ”

Chu Yue finally raised her head and looked at it, and found Hika smiling.

The smiling Hika seemed to be glowing all over her body, and there seemed to be something shining next to her head.

However, I don't know why, Hika, who is obviously very cute and looks very idolized, suddenly burst out laughing after Chu Yue saw it.

"......" Hika's smile gradually disappeared,

"Hold, I'm sorry......" Chu Yue smiled and said, "I don't know why, I suddenly feel like laughing......"

Hika immediately wanted to get angry again, but then put up with it again. Say to yourself in your heart:

No, no, no, how can you become an idol like this, Hika, smile! Smile!

"Then, this classmate ......" Hika smiled again.

"My name is Chu Yue." Chu Yue smiled at Hika and said, "Senior Hika Yazawa, thank you......"

Seeing Chu Yue's smile, Hika's smile froze.

This, this smile, is so heartwarming...... That's what idols should smile!

Chu Yue saw Hika's expression stiffen, and asked, "Senior Hika, are you okay?" ”

"Ah, no, it's okay......" Hika finished speaking, thinking to herself: I have to find a way to keep her smile so that I can use it as a reference......

Chu Yue looked left and right, and then found that he had unconsciously arrived at the classroom of the idol department, and when he looked down again, he found that he was still holding a bird's handkerchief in his hand, and immediately stood up.

You have to give the handkerchief back to the bird!

"That, Hika-senpai, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Chu Yue said.

"Wait!" Rika was still thinking about how to keep Chu Yue, but she didn't expect Chu Yue to leave, so she hurriedly said, "You, you...... Why don't you stay with me to watch A-RISE sing? ”

"Nope." Chu Yue smiled and said, "I also pay attention to A-RISE, and I can watch it when I go home." ”

That's the smile, but it's too short!

Hika hurriedly said again: "Go home and see where there is an atmosphere in the club classroom of the idol department!" Right! Oh yes! I'm here in the idol department! Classmate Chu Yue, are you here to join the idol department? ”

Chu Yue was about to say, "No, I'm ......"

was interrupted by Hika: "Hahaha! Have an eye! I gave permission! From now on, you'll be a member of the Idol Club! ”

"Huh? Does this minister have the final say? Chu Yue complained: "Shouldn't you submit an application to the student union first?" ”

"Oops, don't worry about that much!" Hika walked over and pulled Chu Yue, came to her computer and said, "Come on, let's watch A-RISE's concert together, it's rare!" ”

"Hmm...... Okay...... "Since Hika is so enthusiastic, it's not easy for Chu Yue to refuse."

If you want a handkerchief, wash it when you go back and give it back to the bird.

At the same time, Sui Naiguo, Haiwei, and Little Bird can still practice singing and dancing in the usual place.

There is a small playground in the school that is usually used by students, but there is also a basketball hoop here, which is usually used by people who like to play basketball. The playground is used by the football club and the track and field club, and the gymnasium is the territory of the volleyball club and tennis club.

There was no way, so the three of them had to put the target indoors. Because of the small number of students, there are still many empty classrooms in the school building. However, these empty classrooms were locked, so Sui Naiguo and the three of them went to the teacher to ask for the key to the empty classroom.

The teacher who managed the key to the empty classroom was none other than the physical education teacher who stood behind the chairman of the board of directors at the opening ceremony, named Hiroko Yamada.

(By the way, do you know what the name of the president of the academy, Minami Kotori's mother, is?) That's right! It's "Nandai Bird"! …… Sorry for the slip of the tongue, it's Nanri Kazuko who is right to meow~)

"Empty classroom? What are you going to do? Hiroko Yamada asked.

"The practice ...... of the academy idol," Hono replied.

"You guys? Idol? When Hiroko Yamada heard this, she suddenly smiled as if she had heard some joke.

And Hai Wei and Xiao Bird have long blushed, but Hai Wei's face is even redder. Even Sui Naiguo blushed and said, "Ah! Laughed at! ”

It's just that it will put "ridiculed!" The only person who said this sentence was probably Suinaiguo.

In the end, everyone who had no choice but to come to the rooftop.

"The rest of the place, only here......"

"There's no shade, so you can't use it when it's raining." "But you can't be too demanding." ”

"Hmm." Honoka nodded, "But you don't have to worry about the volume here." Good! Let's get some practice! ”

"Wait, Honoka!" Hai Wei said suddenly.

"Huh? What's wrong, Haiwei? Hono asked.

"We ...... The repertoire to be practiced, has it been decided? ”

As soon as the question came out, all three were paused.

After a few moments, Hono said, "Wow! I don't know what to practice! ”

In the end, the three of them decided to go home first, and then gather together at Suinaka's house to discuss. The three of them are small, they have played together since they were young, and their homes are not far away.

On the other side, Chu Yue has already watched several performances with Hika, and Hika will explain every time. Because Hika has always been the tone and tone of a senior, Chu Yue has always felt a little embarrassed.

After watching another concert, Chu Yue finally stood up and said, "That, it's not too early, I'll go back first." ”

"Huh? This is leaving? Hinata looked a little reluctant to say.

Seeing Rika's expression, Chu Yue was stunned for a moment and understood.

In this community, Hika is the only one. In other words, every day after school, Hinata comes here alone to watch other idols' concerts.

It's hard to have someone to watch with her today, so I guess Hika must be lonely again now.

"That, Hika-senpai." Chu Yue said suddenly.

"Huh?" Hika looked at Chu Yue.

"No," Chu Yue shook her head and said, "President Hika, can I continue to participate in the club's activities tomorrow?" ”

Hika's expression smiled slowly, slowly.

"Hmm!" Hinata nodded.

After saying goodbye to Hika, Chu Yue immediately thought that Mahime might still be looking for herself. But...... Where will she go?

Sure enough, there is only somewhere.

In the music classroom, Zhenji sat in front of the piano and played, but it was the song "Shanghai Black Teahouse" that Chu Yue gave to Zhenji.

"Sure enough, Mahime." Chu Yue walked in and said.

"Chu Yue!" When Mahime saw Chu Yue, she immediately stood up, "Where did you run to?!" Suddenly he ran away crying, do you know ...... like this! ”

"I'm sorry, Mahime." Chu Yue smiled at Zhenji, "I'm worried about you." ”

"Hmm......" Mahime suddenly turned red, crossed her hands in front of her chest, turned around and said, "Who, who is worried about you!" I, I'm not worried about you! ”

Chu Yue smiled, knowing that Zhen Ji was tsundere, so she said, "However, in the end, it's still here......"

"......" was silent for a moment, and Mahime said, "I think that after you realized your mistake, you will come here to find me, so you came here." ”

"Hmm." Chu Yue smiled, suddenly jumped over from behind Zhen Ji and hugged Zhen Ji, and said with a smile: "It's worthy of Zhen Ji!" Cute and smart! Hey! ”

"Let go, let go of me......" Zhenji was hugged by Chu Yue from behind and struggled.

"No, I like to hold Mahime like this."

"Let go!"

"Don't!"

"Let go!"

"Don't!"

"Let go!"

"Hey, hey, don't!"

……

Homura and confectionery shop.

Honoka's mother was alone in the store, so she was a little bored because there were no customers.

Let's have some dumplings. Honoka's mother thought so and took out the dumplings.

Yes! However, I've been losing weight lately, and if I eat dango......

Not......

But I really want to eat it......

No, it's okay, I, I'm not trying to eat the dumplings, I'm just, just to take a look at the taste of our dumplings and see if they're still as delicious as before!

Well, it's definitely not because you're hungry!

Thinking so, Honoka's mother picked up the dumplings and took a bite.

At this time, the door of the store was opened, and Haiwei walked in.

Suinoka's mother quickly covered her mouth that was still chewing and said, "Oops, welcome......"

"Good evening, where's the Honoka?" Hai Wei didn't notice that something was wrong with Suinoka's mother, and asked directly.

"Upstairs." Sui Naiguo's mother hurriedly put down the dumplings, wiped her hands, and said a little unnaturally: "By the way, do you want to eat dumplings?" ”

"No, I have to lose weight." Hai Wei said.

Because I said during the day that I wanted to be an academy idol, my current figure may not be good enough, so the three of them are ready to lose weight together.

But the word "weight loss" poked at Sui Naiguo's mother's pain point, and her expression was wrong again.

It's a pity that Haiwei still didn't find out that something was wrong with Sui Naiguo's mother.

When he came to Suinoka's room upstairs, Haiwei couldn't help but tremble when he saw Suinaka and the bird eating dumplings.

"Ah, Haiwei, do you want to eat dumplings?" Sui Naiguo said.

"I'll pour you tea." Little Bird said.

"I said you ......" Hai Wei sat down and said, "What about weight loss?" ”

"Wow!" Honoka and Bird finally remembered that they were going to lose weight.

"Alas......" Hai Wei sighed, "It seems that he has not made up his mind to work hard." How's it going in terms of songs? ”

"Hmm!" Sui Naiguo said, "Do you remember that friend of classmate Chu Yue we met? ”

"That girl......" Hai Wei said, "I remember it seemed to be called, Maki Nishikino." ”

"Nishikino-san?" "I've heard her sing and play the piano in the music room, so I'll go and ask her!" ”

"If you can help us compose the music, the lyrics are fine." Little Bird said.

"Lyricist?" Hai Wei said.

"Hmm!" Hono Guo smiled.

"Hmm!" The bird laughed.

Then, the two of them lay on the table together and came to Hai Wei.

",, what?" Hai Wei was not frightened.

"Hai Wei, when you were in junior high school, you wrote poems, right?"

"Huh?!"

"Did you tell us to read it?"

"......" Hai Wei was really frightened, turned around and opened the door to escape.

"Escaped!" Sui Naiguo hurriedly chased after him.

"Stop! Let me go home! Hai Wei shouted.

finally pulled Hai Wei back, but Hai Wei still didn't agree. When I was in junior high school, Haiwei was still a little sophomore, and I was very eager to write poems for myself.

It's a pity that now Haiwei recalls himself at that time, and feels that he is only ashamed.

In the end, there was really no way out...... The little bird suddenly grabbed the neckline with one hand, with tears in his eyes, Chu Chu looked at Hai Wei pitifully, and said in his soft and cute voice: "Please!" ”

Haiwei, who was deeply shocked by the bird's blow, was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Really, it's too cunning, little bird." ”

"Great!" Honoka and the bird said together.

"I finally understand why classmate Chu Yue cares so much about the birds." Hai Wei said.

"Hey...... "Birdie smiled sheepishly.

"But!" Hai Wei suddenly said: "I must be responsible for the practice schedule before the concert!" ”

"Practice sheet?" Hoonoka and the little bird looked confused.

Hai Wei explains to Honoka and Kotori that being an idol is not an easy task. Physical strength or something is the most basic. Dancing while smiling is not as simple as it seems.

Haiwei has the practice of the archery club, so his physical strength is not a problem, but Honogo and the bird are not so easy. So, Haiwei developed a practice schedule.

First of all, in addition to singing and dancing at school, every morning before going to school and after school in the afternoon, practice on the stairway near the shrine near the school. It is a long stairway that is a shrine after climbing.

Then, the singing and dancing practice in school is also not in charge. Hai Wei is a girl who treats people and herself strictly, and she handed over this matter to Hai Wei, and Sui Naiguo and Xiao Bird are also very relieved.

On the other side, Chu Yue, who returned home at night, washed the handkerchief and dried it. Thinking about returning the bird at school tomorrow.

And so it was the next day. The three of them climbed the ladder according to Haiwei's exercise schedule, and then met Nozomi Tojo, the vice president who worked at the shrine, at the entrance of the shrine.

Nozomi suggested that the three of them visit the shrine, and the three of them came to the shrine together and made a wish together: I hope that the first concert will go smoothly.

After coming to school, taking advantage of the end of class, the three of them came to the door of the first-grade classroom.

"That, is Chu Yue here?" Sui Naiguo stopped a first-year girl and asked.

"I'll take a look at it later." After answering, the girl went into the classroom and looked at it, and then came out and said, "Chu Yue, classmate should have gone out with Nishikino, not in the classroom." ”

"Okay then." Sui Naiguo said.

The girl suddenly saw Chu Yue and Zhen Ji coming over together in the corridor, so she said to Sui Naiguo: "Ah, they are over there." ”

Sui Naiguo and the three of them turned around together and saw Chu Yue and Mahime walking towards the classroom.

"Finally found you!" Hono said as he pointed to Mahime.

"What?!" Chu Yue immediately followed with a frightened look and said, "Could it be that Zhenji, you found another woman behind my back?!" ”

Zhenji knew Chu Yue's temperament and knew that Chu Yue was skinny again, so she directly shook her head and closed her eyes, not wanting to mess around with Chu Yue.

"Eh......" But Sui Naiguo still took Chu Yue's words seriously, and couldn't help but take a step back, and said embarrassedly: "Hug, I'm sorry, I don't know what kind of relationship you two have......"

"Don't take it seriously, you hey!" Mahime can't do it if she doesn't speak.

Haiwei and the little bird beside Suino Guo also laughed awkwardly together.

The little farce passed quickly. Sui Nao Guo called Mahime and Chu Yue to the rooftop and said that he wanted to invite Mahime to compose.

It's a pity, Mahime replied directly: "I refuse!" ”

"Please." Sui Naiguo said.

"I refuse." Mahime said again.

"Really, Chu Yue, you can also say something!" Sui Naiguo immediately asked Chu Yue for help.

"Well...... Chu Yue turned to Zhen Ji and said, "Zhen Ji, how about thinking about it again?" ”

"Although Chu Yue also said so, it is too unreasonable to suddenly ask me to compose music or something." Mahime said.

"It's really so that the college can attract more students......"

"I'm not interested." After Mahime finished speaking, she walked back directly from the door of the rooftop.

However, Chu Yue stayed, smiled embarrassedly at Sui Naiguo and said, "I'm sorry, Zhenji is a child like this." ”

"Hmm......" Sui Naiguo was still standing in place, and said awkwardly: "'I'm not interested' or something...... It's like Haiwei......"

"That's the normal reaction." Hai Wei said.

"Alas......" Sui Naiguo sighed and took out a folded piece of paper: "It's rare that Haiwei has written such good lyrics." ”

"Huh?! No! Hai Wei immediately blushed when he heard this.

"Oh? Is this a word written by Haiwei? At this time, Chu Yue interjected and asked.

"yes." Sui Naiguo said, "Do you want to see it? ”

"No!" When Hai Wei heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to snatch the paper back.

"What does it matter! Chu Yue will also join us in the future! Sui Naiguo raised his hand and didn't let Hai Wei snatch the lyrics back.

"I'll take a look." Chu Yue was taller, raised her hand and pinched the lyrics and said.

"Hmm!" Sui Nao nodded and let go of his hand.

Chu Yue took the lyrics and was about to read them, when Hai Wei ran towards Chu Yue again: "Don't!" ”

"Spike! Birdie! Chu Yue said.

"Yes!" Sui Naiguo and the little bird responded together, and then one of them grabbed one of Haiwei's arms and grabbed Haiwei.

"Hey, hey." Chu Yue smiled, and finally opened the paper and looked at it.

"I'm so shy......" Hai Wei said with a blushing face.

"Hmm......" Chu Yue looked at it for a while, falling into deep thought.

This lyrics...... So familiar......

Seeing that Chu Yue didn't react for a long time, even Haiwei couldn't help but ask a little nervously, "How is it?" ”

"Ahh Very good lyrics! Chu Yue came back to her senses and said, "I can't wait to hear the sound of this song being sung." ”

"Hmm......" Hai Wei's face turned even redder.

"Right!" Honoka said, "However, Nishikino-san rejected us. Say"

"In that case, leave this matter to me." Chu Yue put the lyrics in her pocket and said, "I'll go and ask Mahime." ”

"Really?!" Sui Naiguo showed a surprised expression and let go of Haiwei.

"Hmm." Chu Yue smiled and nodded.

That's fine, the little bird smiled at Haiwei.

"Ah, by the way, one more thing!" Chu Yue remembered that she was still holding the bird's handkerchief, and was just about to thank her, but she found that she didn't know when, Eri was already standing in front of the three of them.

"Student Council President?" Hono looked at Eri strangely

"Can you come for a moment?" Eri said to Honoka.
