"It's dawn?" Hayakawa sat up and looked at the hazy sky from the window, his consciousness gradually regaining consciousness.

"What is this?" Feeling a thin blanket covering his body, Hayakawa wondered, where did this come from?

Glancing around, I'm lost. Chixia, Peach Valley. Maidu is still sleeping, but Zero and Lie are gone. No, not here, to be exact.

I played very late last night, and Hayakawa can't remember when he fell asleep, because he didn't want to fall asleep. It's a pity that I finally fell asleep at some point, and this place seems to be the empty classroom next to the music room?

I just woke up all night, and I haven't slept for a few hours, so my head is still a little dizzy. It can be seen from Chinatsu and Mai that they slept soundly at this time, and even if Hayakawa shook a few times, there was no sign of waking up.

It's still a while before students come to class, so it's okay to sleep for a while... It's just, what about Lie-sama?

"Is Lord Lie gone?" Hayakawa looked at the thin blanket that covered them, and although he didn't ask, Hayakawa knew that it was Lie-sama who made it. Moreover, Lord Lie must not have left yet.

Quietly walking to the door of the music room next door, Hayakawa carefully opened a crack in the door... The sound of loud music and singing sounded, and when I looked over, it was Lord Lie who was practicing!

Of course, there was zero playing with an instrument next to him, but Hayakawa subconsciously ignored it.

Listening to the song that Ryol-sama was singing, Hayakawa squinted his eyes, obviously enjoying it very much, and even the fatigue caused by staying up late disappeared a lot.

Hayakawa couldn't help but sing quietly outside the door, together with Lord Lie.

…

"That should be fine... Zero, what would you think if you were just talking about singing? After Lie finished singing, he asked Zero.

"There is not enough information to judge whether the Master can pass the qualification selection, but the Master's singing voice has improved from ordinary to average."

"Really?" Lie was very happy to hear this kind of answer that didn't sound good... You know, the standard of zero is very high!

Even some idol singers, in the eyes of zero, can only be said to be acceptable, and they are generally already highly evaluated.

"Huh? So so? Obviously, not everyone knows how harsh the zero standard is, Hayakawa doesn't know, or even if he does, he will stand up.

"If Lord Lie's level can only be said to be average, then what about us? Isn't it even ordinary? ”

Zero was not surprised by Hayakawa's sudden appearance, in fact she noticed Hayakawa at the door while playing the instrument, but she didn't say anything.

"You're better than average." Zero said his evaluation: "As far as the students are concerned, they have done a good job. ”

“…”

Are you a professional? A professional troublemaker.

Seeing Hayakawa's annoyed look, Zero shook his head and said no more, but approached the microphone that Master held up.

The music sounded again, and Zero sang the song as he played his instrument... Hayakawa was petrified from zero to the moment, but not only because of the apparently much better vocals.

“… Lie-sama," looking at Lie holding the microphone for Zero, Hayakawa's mood fell to the bottom... Even if you want to ignore it all the time, you still can't do it.

After the singing ended, Zero did not stop playing, but changed the tune.

"What is this?" Looking at Zero incredulously, Hayakawa covered his mouth in surprise.

Not only Hayakawa, but Chinatsu and Mai, who were still sleeping, probably because the door was opened, heard the sound and ran over, and they indulged in Zero's performance together.

Compared to singing, Zero Pair is better at and loves to play... Although it was only instinctive, after listening to it many times, Zero unconsciously perfected it in his mind.

Hayakawa was surprised that Zero was able to improve their music in the past few days!

"It's better that way." At the end of the Zero performance, they deliberately slowed down, if they were serious, they would definitely remember it... Besides, they should be familiar with this piece of music.

"It's school time, it's time for us to get out of here and go back to the classroom, Master." Zero stepped down and said to Lie.

"Well, let's go, then." Lie not only said to Zero, but also said to the three girls in front of him: "Gui'an, Misaki, Momotani, Hayakawa." ”

"If you don't leave, you may be discovered by the members of the Discipline Commission who came early."

"It's... Yes, Lord Lie. Hayakawa came to his senses and said.

"The afternoon is the time for the first exam, and if we rehearse a few more times at noon, we will definitely pass." Lie is very confident... Last night, late at night, the three of them, who were not good at staying up late, fell asleep in the poker game, so Lie and Zero gently put them in the empty classroom next door, and then practiced in the music room.

Originally, it was Lie who needed to practice, and they just kept cooperating and guiding.

"Lord Lie... Good bye. ”

“… Good bye. ”

…

"I wasn't sleepy, I was a little excited." Lie said to Zero: "But today's lunch, I probably have to go to the restaurant, or the tasting department (family department) to solve it." ”

"No problem," Zero said after looking at the class schedule again, "The last class this morning was a cooking class, so..."

"Oh?" The corners of Lie's mouth went up, so that it was completely fine.

His eyes looked casually in the classroom, and then he saw Furutsu and Haijin standing next to each other as if no one was around, and at the same time stretched out his hand to draw the shape of his heart.

“…”

Will they participate in the joint festival? Curious, he walked over and asked.

"Chirp~!" When Gu Jin and Haijin saw Lie coming, they hugged Lie's arm left and right, and rubbed them affectionately at the same time.

After inquiry, it turned out that Gujin and Haijin had been invited to work as waiters at a temporary shop, and promised them to buy them all the delicious food at the festival during the joint festival.

"It's really a simple and crude condition..."Lie continued to ask who invited them out of worry, but he didn't expect it to be Xiangfeng... In fact, this is a temporary shop in the Lie's class.

"It would be nice for her to do this." Lie's gaze was on Xiangfeng, and she was... Sleeping on the table.

Judging from her sleepy appearance, she probably stayed up late last night like Lie.

The class bell rang, and Lie hurried back to his seat to start today's lesson.

…

Accompanied by music, the singing sounded.

“… Heart-pounding waiting? Pretend to think? ”

“… It's closer, and I won't say it easily..."

“… I like you so much, it's my secret..."

Lie sang to the rhythm as it was the last rehearsal at noon, and Zero was still the only listener.

"Whew~" Lie put down the microphone, and then looked at Hayakawa, Ozaki, and Momoya..."Let's do it together!" ”

…

Yeol didn't go to the storage room after school because he had to hurry to wait in line, and the arranged order of appearance was number five. The place of qualification selection is in the club building, where many students have already come, except for some musical instruments that are not easy to carry in advance, they are basically brought by themselves.

Zero didn't follow Lie at this time, but went to the storage room, where no one could be on duty. In addition, some of today's Zero are mysterious and seem to be doing something.

Feeling that Hayakawa around them was nervous, Lie said something to ease the atmosphere... The members of the student council stood at the door, and everyone lined up in order, one by one.

Because of the high order, the group didn't wait too long, and soon it was their turn.

"Minister, come on!" Xiao An was working nearby, but he didn't bother Lie, but silently blessed on the side.

It's a well-groomed classroom, with the five judges in charge of the selection sitting in the middle, flanked by some members of the statistics. As the student president, Aina is also here, and she must make sure that the team that joins at the end is strong enough.

After all, in the end, it was a competition with other high schools, and if she couldn't win the first place, it would be difficult for Aina to explain whether it was the school or the students.

"Aina's pressure is high." Ryu thought so after entering, and then looked at Hayakawa.

Hayakawa also happened to come over, looked at each other, and understood each other's thoughts.

"Please get started." Aina didn't speak, but a young girl next to her spoke.

Ryu and Hayakawa quickly walked to the middle, picked up their instruments and microphones, and adjusted them to the right position at the same time.

Although Aina has been busy for many days, she can't see that she is tired at this time, and she sits there with a smile. She is indeed a good leader who does not easily show her weak side, especially at times and places like these.

The music sounded, and Ryu put aside his distractions and stood beside Hayakawa, ready to start!

…

"Zero, do you think the ministers will pass the preliminary exam?" Lena asked, sitting listlessly on the side.

"Zero believes in the Master." Zero said.

“…”

"Oh no!" Monroe stumbled in and said in a panic, "The minister is unconscious!" ”

"Huh?" Zero's eyes suddenly bloomed, and his body appeared in front of Monroe the next moment.

"What did you say, what's wrong with Master?"

"Faint... Unconscious," Monroe explained, feeling a pressure and calming down a little.

Shiyu and Monroe went to the place where the qualifications were selected because they were really curious, and they saw that Lie was carried out by several girls... After asking, I found out that Lie suddenly fainted at the last moment of his performance, and what happened is unknown.

Shiyu followed them to the health room, and Monroe came back to tell everyone.

As soon as the words fell, Zero disappeared, and he thought that he had already run to the health room.

The nuns who remained in the storage room looked at each other, and even Monroe, who had returned, did not know why the minister had fainted.

…

"How so? So it will be! Zero was extremely anxious, and when he didn't follow the Master, something like this happened again!

It was the same last time, when he was not by Master's side, and as a result, Master fell into a coma and was unable to find out why. Zero secretly made up his mind that he must reduce the time he spends away from Master.

"That classmate, please slow down, it's forbidden to run on campus..."A member of the Discipline Discipline Committee passed by, trying to stop Zero, but passed by.

In the blink of an eye, Zero disappeared at the door of the school building, and the health room was here.

"Shiyu, how's the situation?" After Zero came to the teaching building, his mood calmed down a lot, and he quickly changed his shoes first.

Calming down a little, Zero walked to the door of the health room and saw Shiyu and the two girls standing there, so he asked Shiyu.

"There's nothing dangerous about the minister." Shiyu turned around and said to Zero, "I've checked my body and there's nothing wrong with it... It is probably just a brief coma caused by lack of sleep, and it is good to rest for a while. ”

"How can the Master not get enough sleep?" Zero was very puzzled after hearing this, and although he stayed up all night until now, he never rested until now, but in the spirit of the Master, he will never fall into a coma.

In other words, it is impossible to find out the cause this time? Zero was silent for a moment, then pushed open the door and walked in gently.

The teacher in the health room was sitting at the desk looking through a book, while the Master was lying on the bed, seemingly unawake. Hayakawa sat in front of the bed and looked worried.

Although Zero's movements were light, the teacher noticed... It should have been recognized by Lie, and the teacher shouted Zero.

"Last night, did Lie-chan stay up late?" The teacher asked.

"Yes," Zero nodded, "Zero stayed up with Master last night and didn't sleep all night." ”

"Haven't you slept yet?"

"Yes."

"That's... Does Zero feel unwell now? ”

"Nope."

“…”

The teacher looked confused, put down the book in his hand, and said to himself in confusion: "Is it really lack of sleep?" But it doesn't seem to be like that..."

Seeing the teacher lost in thought, Zero quietly left and went to the other side of the Master's bed.

"No problem." Zero personally examined the Master's body, and found nothing unusual about Master's body.

Hayakawa may have been too focused, even if Zero came to the other side, he didn't notice... But Zero needed to ask her some questions now, so he walked around the hospital bed, came to her and patted her on the shoulder.

"Shh~" Zero made a silent gesture, and then beckoned Hayakawa to take a few steps back, before he asked, "What happened before Master fell unconscious?" ”

Hayakawa glanced back at Ryu, and then recounted the story again.

At that time, Hayakawa was the closest to Ryo's location, so he actually noticed something unusual... Everyone's performance was excellent, at least Hayakawa and the others felt that the performance effect this time was much better than the usual practice.

It's just that at the last moment, Hayakawa noticed that Ryū-sama's body was shaking a little... If it were a listener, it would probably not be noticeable, because Ryol's singing was the same as at the beginning, and there were no mistakes.

But Hayakawa could feel that Lie-sama seemed to be very uncomfortable during the last time... Their show was perfectly presented, and just as Hayakawa was relieved, Lie, who had finished singing, suddenly fainted.

Zero already knew what was going on, and everyone hurriedly sent Lie to the health room, until now Zero came.

"How many times did Master's body shake?" Zero knew about the anomaly, but it didn't work, and he couldn't tell the specifics.

"Master..."Zero walked over to the hospital bed, his lips closed, feeling his powerlessness... If Zero was better, had better medical skills, or took better care of the Master, this kind of problem wouldn't have happened, right?
