Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

The entire venue was filled with a solemn yet expectant atmosphere.

The lights are bright and warm, the decorations are full of the school's logo and motto, and the walls are covered with photos and certificates of honor of outstanding students, showcasing the school's glory and achievements.

The atmosphere and decorations made her inexplicably uncomfortable, and she started to feel a stomachache.

When she realized that a group of students and important figures in the audience were all looking at her, she couldn't help but catch her breath.

The pressure coming at her made Watanabe Hina feel increasingly breathless and heavy, her eyes became somewhat unfocused, and she became even more nervous.

Realizing something was wrong, she immediately shook her head, took a deep breath, and began to imagine the method that Kamishiro-kun had just taught her, imagining these people as her favorite Chikawa Hachi dolls.

soon.

In her eyes, these people seemed to have become her favorite dolls.

Imagining this scene made her feel a little more relaxed.

But when she looked at the crowd again, she suddenly saw her parents.

Those two people could not be ignored, nor could they be imagined as beloved dolls.

Seeing the two people looking at her with serious and expectant expressions, Watanabe Hina became nervous again, her heart pounding.

The scene I had just imagined has now become reality.

The densely packed crowd seemed intent on crushing her.

Her breathing quickened again, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead. She felt that the scene before her was distorted, unreal, and sharp.

Watanabe Hina's stomach started to hurt more and more, and she felt nauseous.

No way

No, I can't do it.

If the performance goes wrong, Mom and Dad will definitely be very angry.

What to do, what to do, what to do, what to do?

clap clap!

At that moment, for some reason, two loud claps were heard in the solemn and quiet hall.

Many people looked in the direction of the sound, but when they noticed it came from the back office, they didn't pay much attention.

Watanabe Hina followed the sound and, upon seeing its source, paused for a moment before smiling and completely relaxing.

Shiro Shiro gave himself a thumbs up, while Matsueda Asami beside him looked flustered and shook Shiro frantically, as if complaining about why he had clapped so hard.

Looking at Bai Feng's smiling face, Watanabe Hina no longer felt that the scene in front of her was distorted and unreal. Instead, she felt that the scene was much softer and she gradually regained her confidence.

Then the principal went on stage.

After giving his encouraging speech to the new students, he looked at the choir on the stage and said:

"Now, let's have the choir sing our school song for everyone here."

After the principal finished speaking.

The beautiful and charming Hina Watanabe sat at the piano, gently playing the instrument with her delicate hands.

The beautiful piano music, like leaping musical notes, floated melodiously and elegantly throughout the venue.

As she played the piano, the members of the choir began singing the school song.

Their voices were clear and melodious, full of youthful energy and aspirations.

offstage.

Hina Watanabe's parents were both pianists. Upon hearing their daughter's elegant and confident piano playing, they couldn't help but look at each other in surprise and delight.

Clearly, both of them were very satisfied with Hina Watanabe's performance.

Soon, the song ended.

Hina Watanabe's hands gently rested on the piano keys, then she stood up and bowed to the audience along with the other members of the choir.

A thunderous round of applause erupted.

Hina Watanabe looked up and noticed that the people below the stage were clapping.

In it, she saw the approving smiles and applause of her parents.

Witnessing this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, her heart filled with joy and excitement.

After walking back to the backstage area.

Kamishiro Shiro also offered his congratulations:

"Watanabe-senpai, your performance was beautiful."

Matsueda Asami, standing to the side, also looked gratified.

"I feel this performance was better than your previous ones, Hina."

Watanabe Hina smiled and thanked her:

"Thank you very much, Kamishiro-kun."

"If he hadn't clapped his hands to remind me, I probably wouldn't have been able to play successfully."

"I didn't do anything, it was all due to your own strength, senior." Shiro Shiro shrugged.

Matsueda Asami complained, "Just now, during such a serious moment, with a bunch of important people below, you actually clapped! It almost gave me a heart attack, you know that?!"

"It's alright, I know how to give CPR, I'll save you then, teacher," said Shiro Shiro with a smile.

Matsueda Mami's face flushed slightly, and she gritted her teeth as she retorted, "Hey, that's not what the teacher cares about! And you, don't make the teacher sound like she's going to have a heart attack!"

Watanabe Hina covered her mouth and smiled as she looked at the two of them, but her gaze mostly lingered on Kamishiro Hakufu.

She looked at him, her beautiful eyes shimmering with tears, as if she wanted to imprint Kamishiro-kun's smile into her heart.

Chapter 84 Director Hojo! Using his public speaking skills!

2024-07-14

Hina Watanabe thanked him, saying, "Then I'll go back to the ranks, Kamishiro-kun. I'll cheer you on from below."

"Mm." Shiro Shiro nodded.

After Watanabe Hina left.

Hojo Kirisa was almost on stage when she slowly walked to Kamishiro Hakufumi's side and suddenly spoke:

"Kamishiro-kun, look here."

Kamishiro Shirofumi, confused, turned to look at her.

After examining Bai Feng for a while, Hojo Kirisa said nothing, but simply reached out and straightened his clothes and tie again.

Upon seeing this, Matsueda Asami couldn't help but start to wonder to herself.

In her memory, Hojo Kirisa was as cold as a thousand-year-old iceberg.

I've never seen her help anyone adjust their clothes or ties.

Why have you been proactively helping Kamishiro-kun with his tidying up these past two days?

Hmm. It's probably to help Kamishiro-kun perform better on stage.

After all, this concerns the reputation of the Hojo family.

at this time.

Hojo Kirisa quietly helped him tidy up.

Meanwhile, Shiro Shiro remained silent.

The silence between the two made Matsueda Asami feel that the atmosphere was a bit strange.

After finishing her tidying up, Hojo Kirisa rested her chin on her right hand, carefully examining Bai Feng. Her beautiful eyes remained as cold as ever. She pondered and said, "After I finish my speech, it will be your turn."

"Come up on stage when you hear me call your name."

"Hmm." Shiro Shiro replied, then fell silent.

Hojo Kirisa didn't intend to say anything more, and the two of them just watched the stage.

The principal was still presiding over the opening ceremony.

Only then did Shiro Shiro have time to carefully observe the principal of the private Shujin Academy.

He remembered the school principal's name as something like Shogo Ohba.

Principal Shogo Oba is around sixty years old and has quite a few wrinkles.

He has a very kind appearance and seems easy to talk to.

He's not very tall, I'd guess around 1.7 meters?

Bai Feng glanced at the principal's shoes and immediately realized that they seemed to be the kind of shoes that increase height, with an insole of about three or four centimeters.

Although the principal's hair was black, there were faint white roots.

It's not hard to tell that this hair has been dyed.

He is the kind of person who speaks very tactfully, leaving no room for criticism.

at this time.

After Principal Shogo Oba finished speaking, he began to gesture with his left hand toward Kirisa Hojo.

"Now, let's invite this year's student council president, Kirisa Hojo, to come forward and speak."

Upon hearing this, Hojo Kirisa showed no sign of nervousness whatsoever, maintaining her aloof demeanor as she walked directly to the center of the stage.

Hojo Kirisa stood on the stage at the opening ceremony, her posture upright and her gaze icy and piercing, like a towering solitary peak overlooking the entire building.

Her voice was steady and resonant, carrying an unshakeable authority and confidence.

"Welcome, new students, to Xiujin Private Academy."

Hojo Kirisa's unhurried voice resonated throughout the entire building through the sound system.

"As the student council president of the private Xiujin Academy, I extend a warm welcome to you on behalf of the entire school."
