In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

Kita Ikuyo raised her head, a bright smile spreading across her face.

"Okay, let me try Ze-jun's cooking!"

After saying that, the girl got up to wash her hands, and then went to the restaurant with anticipation in her eyes.

At this moment, Shirakawa had already set out the bowls and chopsticks, gesturing for the other person to sit down as they pleased.

Wow, this looks really good!

Kita Ikuyo sat down and took a bite, then her eyes lit up with surprise.

"good to eat!"

"Zejun, I never knew you were such a good cook!"

No wonder he's been able to date so many girlfriends!

Upon hearing this, Shirakawa almost spat out his food, and looked at the girl with a bead of sweat on his forehead.

Where did you hear all this?

Kita Ikuyo looked at him with some curiosity.

"Eh? Isn't it?"

"I heard the day before yesterday that the young lady from the Moon Forest cried at the school gate because you were dating a girl who can play the piano..."

Shirakawa secretly decided that he would forbid Nagasaki Motoyo from entering any area within one kilometer of Shuka High School from now on.

I don't even want to think about what would happen if she, Takamatsu Akari, and Toyokawa Shoko bumped into each other. If I were still there, I don't know how many versions of rumors would spread.

The conditions for resolving the issues between them have not yet been fully met, and efforts should be made to avoid a black hole collision.

Seeing Shirakawa's expression, Kita Ikuyo understood that the rumors circulating on campus were indeed false.

Her gaze shifted from curiosity to peace. She lowered her head, took a bite of rice, and then made a happy sound.

"good to eat!"

After finishing her meal, Kita Ikuyo quickly completed her business report, thanked Shirakawa Sawa profusely, and went home.

Silent all night.

The Sun Also Rises.

Students went to school with a mix of emotions.

After the first period ended in the morning, Hachiman Kairin, who sat behind Shiina Tatsuki, placed a bottle of orange-flavored drink on her desk and said,

"Did your previous band get back together?"

Shiina Tatsuki looked up at the other person, her eyes full of confusion, and her furrowed brows showing a hint of displeasure.

"what?"

Seeing her reaction, Hachiman Kairin knew she had guessed wrong, but a sense of curiosity arose within her.

"Then why are you so happy?"

Shiina Tatsuki looked away, continuing to frown.

"what?"

"How can I tell that you're happy?"

Hachiman Kairin continued to gaze at her, her expression unreadable.

"Cells and pores."

"My intuition doesn't lie; you're very happy right now, and you're also looking forward to it."

"Is this expectation about going to see certain people, or a specific person?"

Shiina Tatsuki didn't say anything, she just continued to lie on the table.

Hachiman Kairin sat back in her seat, her expression remaining calm and composed.

"Congratulations!"

The bell rang to signal the end of the fourth period in the morning. Before the teacher even stepped down from the podium, Shiina Tatsuki was already at the school gate.

To be precise, we've arrived at the entrance of Xiuhua High School.

A few minutes later, Shiina Tatsuki saw Shirakawa Sawa and Takamatsu Akari come out of the school side by side.

The two noticed her, but Shirakawa simply waved from afar before leading the twelve maids to the costume rental shop they had arranged to meet the day before.

Takamatsu Akari walked straight towards her.

Shiina Tatsuki watched as the other person walked towards her and unconsciously took two steps forward to meet them.

"lamp……"

Gao Songdeng walked up to her, his expression gentle.

"Lixi, let's go."

Shiina Tatsuki nodded, and the two walked together toward the train station.

For some reason, Shiina Tatsuki felt that Takamatsu Akari seemed to be in a good mood today, with a faint smile in her eyes.

A faint smile appeared in Shiina Tatsuki's eyes, her heart filled with great anticipation.

"I'm so excited for the lighthouse maid outfit~"

Upon arriving at the clothing rental shop, the two saw Shirakawa Sawa sitting at the entrance, with the maids lining up to try on clothes behind him.

After trying on the clothes, the girls each took their clothes and left.

After the last member of the maid group left, Shirakawa Sawa and Takamatsu Akari both looked at Shiina Tatsuki.

What's meant to happen will happen eventually.

You have to give before you can receive.

After mentally preparing herself, Shiina Tatsuki steeled herself and walked into the clothing rental shop.

The shop owner first sized her up, then looked at Shirakawa Ze.

"Hey sir, did you forget to give me this young lady's measurements?"

Shirakawa nodded, giving an apologetic smile.

"Yes, because we weren't sure if she would help us when we came yesterday, so we didn't mention it."

The proprietress said she understood and asked a staff member to measure it for her.

After taking the measurements, the proprietress looked at Shiina Tatsuki.

"Little girl, do you want the same style as your classmates?"

"However, given your figure and temperament, I would recommend the other one."

Shiina Tatsuki turned to look at Takamatsu Akari, then at Shirakawa Sawa.

"Shirakawa-kun, what style do you need?"

Shirakawa Ze replied,

"Shiina-kun, I think we should check out the landlady's recommendations first."

Takamatsu also nodded.

Shiina Tatsuki withdrew her gaze and looked at the proprietress with a slightly shy expression.

"Then, I'll trouble you..."

The landlady said a polite word, then led Shiina Tatsuki to the room filled with maid outfits and began to help her put together a look.

"First of all, the headwear, like the cat ear style that your classmates chose, doesn't actually suit you."

"Just use this traditional white ruffled one."

"As for aprons, you can only choose the kind that covers your lower body, because white makes you look bigger. If you choose an apron that covers your upper body, it will make your front look too big and will look unbalanced."

"As for waist cinching... that's also a problem. I feel it would be better to change it to a belt. The reason is the same as the one above. There's no way around it; your natural advantages are too great."

Listening to the other person's comments on the outfit, Shiina Ritsuki's shyness almost materialized.

The proprietress continued selecting items, her mouth never stopping.

"The skirt needs to be long, it should be above the knee."

"The choice of socks is also very important. Because this outfit is meant to highlight your cool temperament, the socks must be long and the kind that won't expose your leg skin when you're doing normal activities."

"And it also needs to be a thicker version; if it's too thin and see-through, it won't work and will ruin the overall aesthetic."

"As for the color, I feel that white is better."

"After all, it was paired with black leather shoes."

Finally, the shopkeeper selected all the clothes and handed them to Shiina Tatsuki.

"Okay, go change into it and see how it looks!"

Volume 1: Chapter 40 Is there any other kind of play like this?

After changing her clothes, Shiina Tatsuki walked out of the fitting room, her body tense with nervousness and shyness.

Upon seeing this, the proprietress's eyes lit up immediately. She looked at Shirakawa Sawa and Takamatsu Akari, who were still standing at the door.

"Come and see! It fits perfectly!"

The two immediately looked over. Shirakawa Ze thought that the proprietress's taste was indeed very unique. The overall traditional style, as well as the belt and the vertically long skirt, made her figure look better and taller.

Although Shiina Tatsuki has a very imposing presence, she is actually only 156 cm tall, just one centimeter taller than Takamatsu Akari.

Sometimes, because of this, when she gets angry at someone bigger, it looks like she's being affectionate.

But this outfit makes her look even more in line with her own aura.
