My second life is a bit strange?

Hongxia stood at the door with her schoolbag on her back, watching the busy figures inside.

"So beautiful."

The floor was so shiny from being mopped that it reflected light; I felt guilty stepping on it.

Ah...it's the class monitor.

Goto never expected to run into Kaede here again. Looking at Kaede holding the ladder on the stage, he felt very at ease.

"Can it accommodate a thousand people?"

Kita smiled when he heard what Ryo said: "Not only that, because Shuchiin will be open to the public on this day, so a lot of people will come. This complex can accommodate up to six thousand people."

"Huh!?" Hongxia waved her finger. You know, even the sports complex in the city center can only hold eight thousand people. This is the power of a noble school!

【Amazing! 】

Performing in front of so many people...just thinking about it is exciting!!

Goto's legs buckled, and he managed to stand by holding onto the doorknob.

Six thousand people!!

"Let's go, we need to rehearse properly when we get back today and put on a perfect performance!!"

Rainbow Summer inspires our spirits.

"Oh."

"Liang, your reaction is so calm."

"Oh!!"

Liang raised his arm in response.

Nijika waved to Goto: "We're leaving now."

"Huh? Aren't we going together?" Goto didn't understand.

Kita smiled sweetly: "Poch-chan probably still has things to do."

"Bye-bye, Pochi-chan."

Goto tilted his head, looking at their retreating figures with a puzzled expression.

[Need something to do?]

Could this be some kind of code?

The stage was completely set up. Feng's back was soaked with sweat. He was carrying a bag and handing out water to everyone: "Thank you all for your hard work today."

The chairman clapped his hands, signaling everyone to put down what they were doing and listen to him.

"Once everyone has finished their work, go home, get some rest, and then enjoy tomorrow's performance."

"Yes!!"

The shout was deafening; everyone was clearly exhausted, yet they were all laughing.

Wow, that's amazing!

Eriri, who had been sitting on the sidelines watching, noticed that the current student council president was able to grasp everyone's heart and unite them as one.

This power to evoke emotions is incredible.

The number of people in the stadium was decreasing. Goto wanted to go up and talk to them, but after taking a few steps, he stopped.

The class monitor has a lot of people around him.

"Give."

Kaede took the coat from Eriri's hands.

"I need to go to the exhibition hall to pick up the painting. You go back to the classroom to get your bag first."

"Okay, do you need my help?"

"no thanks."

On his way back to the classroom, Feng saw a stall being packed up by the roadside.

[Marshmallows, I haven't had them in ages.]

"Um, could I have two servings of cotton candy?"

The student in charge of the stall was about to refuse, but seeing that it was Feng, he immediately said, "Wait a moment."

"Wow, Shirogane is so tall."

"Have it?"

The machine roared to life, pounding granulated sugar into cotton-like flakes, which were then rolled onto sticks to form fluffy, cloud-like cotton candy.

"Please make the other one pink for me, thank you."

"Ok."

Add a small amount of food coloring, and the pink marshmallows are ready.

Feng returned to the classroom door with cotton candy and, through the window, saw someone standing in their seat, holding a guitar and lost in thought.

"What's wrong? Are you nervous?"

"Class monitor... um, a little."

When the class monitor suddenly appeared beside her, Goto's heart raced uncontrollably. She didn't even realize that the corners of her mouth were turning up in joy.

"I'm sure there will be a wonderful performance tomorrow."

Even though I was having second thoughts, the class monitor kept believing in me—that feeling...

The school bell rang loudly, signaling the end of get out of class. A refreshing evening breeze drifted in through the window, casually tugging at Feng's white shirt.

"Why...why is the class monitor so sure?"

"Because I was your first fan, it's only natural that I trust you."

A gentle voice echoed in my ears, and with a gust of wind, it seeped into my heart and resonated deep within.

Ah...it smells so good...

Goto smelled the scent of autumn on Kaede.

Chapter 143 Eriri No Longer Runs Away

"this is for you."

"Thanks.."

After saying goodbye to the class monitor, Goto walked down the street with a cotton candy in her hand. The cotton candy was as pink as she was, and when she took a bite, it immediately melted in her mouth.

It was so sweet it was almost cloying, but she still finished it, threw it into the nearby trash can, and started running as fast as she could, trying to let the wind clear her head.

"Good evening!!" Goto greeted the shop manager and ran into the practice room.

“This child…” Xingge was shocked by her change.

"Huff...huff..." Running had exhausted Goto's strength, and he was panting heavily, supporting himself on his knees.

"Poch-chan? Are you alright?"

The rhythm inside was interrupted, and everyone looked at Goto, wondering why they were in such a hurry, when they heard Goto say, "Everyone... let's do our best!!"

Although they didn't know what had happened, the girls' morale was boosted by Goto's resolute gaze.

"Let's make a scene!"

"Oh oh oh!!"

Eriri carried the painting to the classroom and saw Kaede sitting by the window, eating a cotton candy and watching her classmates running on the playground.

"Let me get it for you."

Seeing that Eriri had returned, Kaede jumped down from the window, took the painting from her hand, slung his schoolbag over his shoulder, and started his journey home.

"Shirogane-kun~"

"His Royal Highness Prince!"

When Feng encounters classmates he knows on the street, he always greets them with a smile.

"Look, they're walking so close together, they must be together."

This time, Eriri didn't hide behind Kaede anymore, even though she was very shy.

"Aren't you afraid of being mistaken for a couple this time?"

Eriri took his hand.

She smiled, her smile as sweet as cotton candy, revealing her small canine teeth: "Because, I am your girlfriend."

This time, it was Feng's turn to blush. He pulled Eriri into an empty alley, pinned her against the wall, and forcefully kissed her.

【So sweet! 】

The moon hid behind the clouds. In the dimly lit alley, the sounds of breathing and water mingled, eventually giving way to embarrassing gasps.

When she came out again, Eriri covered her face with her hands, her ears completely red.

"The cotton candy is still too sweet." Feng finished the rest of the cotton candy in one go and gulped down water.

The excessive sweetness rushed straight to his brain, making him shudder: "Oh no, I'm going to drown in this marshmallow."

"Ah Feng is leaving, it's getting late."

Eriri enjoys this time at home. Every day is like this, day after day, year after year. Time keeps passing and the scenery on the street changes again and again.

but...

Feng is still Feng, the name that makes her heart tremble whenever she calls it.

...

The high school cultural festival was much more exciting, with a more diverse program, and the dark gymnasium was filled with waves of glow sticks.

Goto sat silently in the waiting room, staring at the ground.
