I am only one world away from Yukinoshita.

It was less of a request and more of a coercion...

"Sure."

Kiyoyori seemed to see the glittering stars in Kawashima's eyes.

Kawashima placed his two small hands on Kiyori's firm abdomen and let out a satisfied sigh, as if he were touching something fragile. He didn't dare to move at all, and only after holding his breath to make sure Kiyori wasn't broken did he begin to move his fingers. His fingertips, which had been in contact with the strings for many years, had a thin layer of calluses. The soft and elastic touch made Kiyori involuntarily twitch his abdominal muscles, and it was this unnatural twitch that excited Kawashima immensely.

Something seems off.

Seeing the growing excitement in Kawashima's eyes, Kiyoyori grabbed her disobedient little hand.

"Isn't Kawashima-kun underage yet?"

"Hmm? Of course not yet, I should be the same age as Kiyoyori."

"Well, then please don't do anything that's so tempting and criminal..."

"Huh?" Kawashima blinked, his eyes sparkling with innocence.

"Ahem, everyone's changed their clothes..."

Looking around, only Qinglai remained in the classroom, still not dressed, and her alluring muscles were half-naked.

Kiyotomi felt that her seniors' glaring eyes were about to devour her.

Shivering.JPG.

P.S.: I was smiling like a proud aunt when I read this part of the original work, especially the part with Asuka and Kaori, and the club member saying things like "Hold me tight"—those are actually lines from the original work. And seriously, Kaori definitely likes Asuka!! That kind of liking!! Midori's unreserved, mature charm is so cute, the contrast is just adorable.

Chapter 15, Section 72: I never expected my senior to be like this.

The chosen track is "RYDEEN" by the Yellow Magic Symphony Orchestra (YMO), a pioneering group in Japanese electronic music. It was a very popular song in the Japanese electronic music scene at that time. Although it may sound a bit dated now, it is a classic for people born in that era. It was even widely used in advertising jingles and mobile phone ringtones. Even Toko couldn't help but show a nostalgic look when she heard that this was the first shot fired by the Sobu High School Brass Band.

Then, it reappeared in the public eye in a few years ago with "RYDEEN 79/07", which is the version that Soubu High School's brass band will be performing this time.

This is a piece with a brisk rhythm and a soaring melody, in which the trumpet, which plays the main melody, can instantly capture the listener's ears by penetrating the hot air.

However, Kiyoyori will not participate in this marching band performance; to be precise, the oboe will not participate. Kiyoyori, like Mizore, has been pulled into the Mysterious Dance Dance group. Speaking of this famous Mysterious Dance Dance of Soubu High School, Kiyoyori can't help but sigh.

Because it's too difficult...

Although Kiyoyuki exercises regularly and has a perfect figure, for some reason, whenever it comes to dancing, she's like someone under the Confusion Charm in Harry Potter—uncoordinated. She even became so withdrawn that she wanted to quit, but Asuka and Mizore dragged her into extra practice, which resulted in her body involuntarily moving whenever she hears this music.

Surprisingly, Mizore, although she also participated in the Mysterious Dance last year, is said to be the type who dances exceptionally well from the very beginning. Reliable sources indicate that Mizore often plays similar games at home and is a gaming expert, truly a model of someone who doesn't show off.

Just imagining Mizore-senpai dancing to otaku dances alone in her room with a blank expression is kind of adorable.

Kiyoshi glanced at Mizore, who was sitting next to him, playing a rhythm game on her phone by the bus window. She wasn't wearing headphones, and her phone wasn't even playing music. However, her fingers moved so fast that they were just afterimages that Kiyoshi wondered if the person in front of him was the dazed senior he knew.

"Senior Ying is really good at playing games."

As the song ended, Mizore typed "Perfect" with an incredibly relaxed expression, while Kiyoshi, sitting on the outside, nervously clenched his fingers. Although he hadn't felt anything before, Kiyoshi only realized what it meant to be restless after actually getting into the car.

After all, dancing isn't her forte.

"like."

Her answer was as concise and clear as ever. Seemingly noticing Kiyoyori's nervousness, Mizore handed her phone to Kiyoyori.

"I'm not very good at playing games." Or rather, I'm a gaming black hole.

"I teach you."

Mizore skillfully switched to tutorial mode. Once the topic turned to games, she became very talkative. Kiyoyori had never heard her talk so much before. Although Mizore taught in great detail, Kiyoyori's fingers, which were usually able to fly freely on the oboe, became stiff as if they had been petrified.

Unsurprisingly, it then hit a new all-time low for the rhythm game on this device.

Mizore paused for a moment, then held out her little fist to Kiyoyori. "Good luck."

Her ruby-like eyes looked at Qinglai, seemingly smiling, yet also seemingly expressing no other emotion than usual.

"Yes."

Kiyoshi touched Mizore's fist with his own.

The carriage remained noisy until we arrived at our destination, at which point it gradually quieted down.

There were many tourists in the park today, most of them with cameras, and some even with special outdoor recording equipment, just like a band concert. Some people even wore support outfits. They were not only parents of students, but also fans of top schools, all eagerly anticipating their performance.

Standing in the designated area of ​​Soubu High School, Kiyoyori's hands, holding the hand flower, began to tremble. He seemed to have entered a state of sagehood, unable to hear the people around him or see the people passing by.

"Kiyo Lai~!"

Asuka stepped forward and saw Kiyoshi standing upright with her back straight. Kiyoshi wasn't holding any musical instruments; as the leader of the group, she was supposed to stand at the front and direct the team.

She patted Qinglai's stiff shoulder.

"Hmm? Still nervous?" Asuka sighed helplessly. "Aunt Touko even called me, saying you didn't answer."

Kiyoshi then came to his senses and said, "It's alright now."

"Aunt Yuanzi asked me to tell you that they have arrived here."

"'they'?"

Qinglai vaguely remembered that Carole's mother was not available today.

"Here."

Asuka took a selfie of Touko, but the person in the photo made Kiyoyori feel like he was about to explode.

When did Utaha-senpai meet Touko's mother?

"What? Your girlfriend? She's quite pretty, I think she's from the school next door—"

"Whoa!" Kiyoyori covered Asuka's mouth. "Don't talk nonsense..."

"What~," Asuka nudged Kiyori's side with her elbow, noticing the blushing ears hidden in his hair. "Shy? Isn't that a good thing? She's definitely the older sister type, just what Kiyori likes—! Ah, speaking of which, she seems to have drawn something with Kashiwagi Eri—ugh!"

"Is this the kind of mouth that says such things?!" Kiyoshi no longer cared about the etiquette between seniors and juniors. He threw down the flower in his hand and pressed Asuka's cheeks with both hands, squeezing her mouth into the shape of a "3".

"You'd better shut up!"

Although most of the people present were girls, there were also a few boys around. Who knows how many otaku, like Eriri, are filled with lewd thoughts beneath their glamorous exteriors?

However, no amount of precautions can completely prevent the most dangerous places from becoming the most dangerous.

"Ah, 'Your Words and My Melodies'?"

This is the name of Eriri's original yuri manga. Although this manga is contrary to Eri Kashiwagi's usual style and takes a very serious and dramatic route, so far, who can guarantee that Eriri won't suddenly take the car onto the highway?

Asuka and Kiyori both turned around in surprise to look at the person who had accurately recited the manga's title—Yokozaki Mizore.

Kiyoyori gasped, "Why... Mizore-senpai..."

Despite all my calculations, I never imagined the spy was right beside me...

"It's very well drawn."

"The plot is also great."

"The interaction between Shimizu and Sinon is very interesting."

Kiyoyori seemed to see an angel from heaven beckoning to him from not far away, and the angel's face was that of Mizore-senpai.

Kiyoyori collapsed to his knees, utterly defeated. "It's over..."

I suddenly discovered that my senior is looking at the yuri (lesbian) manga I helped my sister draw! What should I do? Urgent! Waiting for answers online!

"The updates are a bit slow."

"That's already very fast, Senior Mizore..."

If I go any faster, I'll die from overwork...

"Do Kiyorae and Kashiwagi Eri know each other?"

"I know her, or rather, she's my sister..."

"She came today too?"

Kiyotomi got annoyed just thinking about the blonde, twin-tailed, tsundere girl arguing with Utaha-senpai in the photo. "Hmm..."

"sign!"

Kiyoshi weakly raised his thumb, "No problem..."

By the way, why did Mizore-senpai come into contact with Eriri's works? You really can't judge a book by its cover...

P.S.: I'm sorry, please forgive me. Ever since I saw a smutty story on Lofter, my impression of the innocent and cute otaku has been completely shattered. And when I was writing this part, inexplicably... I'm guilty... Mizore is, after all, someone who's been immersed in the world of anime for years, and manga is still pretty clean... so... she should know a tiny bit more than Umbrella-kun, right? This is just my personal interpretation.

Actually, I still support Umbrella Brother as the dominant one, but I don't know why Mizore seems to have a cute contrast when she's being dominant.

Chapter 16, Section 73: A Special (Se) Visa (or similar)

Soubu High School is about to make its appearance, and Rikka High School, which is ahead of them, has been gone for some time and should be back soon.

Suddenly, a loud cheer erupted from the crowd on the tree-lined avenue, followed by Li Hua's cheerful yet steady playing. The resounding sound of the wind instruments struck straight to the heart. Looking from the waiting area, one could see a neat blue formation, and what was even more impressive was that they maintained a steady playing while swaying their bodies.

That is Rikka High School, known as the "Water-Colored Devil," a representative marching band powerhouse in the Kanto region, and even in all of Japan. They have even performed abroad many times. It can be said that most of the people present today came for them.

Soubu High School, which is ranked right after Rikka High School, has drawn the worst possible outcome. What's even more disheartening is that the school next to Soubu High School is Rakuchi High School. Although Rakuchi High School is not as outstanding as Rikka High School in marching band performance, it is a familiar face in the national competition in seated band performance. Soubu High School is like someone who has drawn the worst possible outcome during the New Year's shrine visit.

Under such intense pressure, the members' confidence was already hovering at the critical point, while Kiyoyori, after Asuka's outburst, calmed down.

As Tachibana's music drew closer, the expressions of the restless club members gradually turned to one of despair.

"So neat..."

"Absolutely no mistakes."

"We're so miserable."

"Ugh, I feel like I'm losing all my confidence..."

The morale of the troops was low, and most of them wore expressions of anxiety.
