I push the kid!

While returning the things he had been keeping for her to her, Makimura Taku took the paper bag and asked with his eyes: What's that?

"Scarf." said Hoshino Ai.

"scarf?"

"The pattern is for boys to use and they won't be shy about it, so don't worry!"

"That's not what I wanted to ask..."

"Just take it as a thank you gift, okay?"

After saying this, without waiting for Makimura Taku to respond, Hoshino Ai turned her back.

She raised her arms and stretched, revealing her fair waist under her short cotton jacket.

Makimura Taku looked at her back, and she moaned in a lazy voice.

"I'm very happy today too." said Hoshino Ai.

Makimura Taku smiled and said, "Thank you. I'll take it."

The evening breeze blew leisurely, blowing Hoshino Ai's scarf and long hair into the setting sun.

The setting sun shone on her charming profile, and the foothills in the distance were shrouded in faint light and shadow.

Later, they returned to the hotel.

The darkness swallowed up the foot of the mountain little by little, but the mountain top became clearer and clearer as we looked into the distance.

Until the lights on the side of the road came on, the speed limit sign reflected a metallic white light.

Someone was passing by on the road on an off-road bicycle, and it was impossible to tell whether the bicycle was black or red.

When walking on the road, Makimura Taku always felt that the sky was cold and transparent.

The fourth day after arriving in Echigo Yuzawa, November 12th.

That day, it rained lightly during the day, got a little heavier at noon, and suddenly stopped in the afternoon.

Looking out the window, the sky was gloomy and the clouds looked like they were made of mixed concrete.

In the evening, an incredible ray of light seemed to come down from the clouds.

Even though he couldn't see the sun, Taku Makimura couldn't think of a more appropriate word to describe it than "the clouds have cleared and the sun has appeared."

That night, there was no wind, no rain, and not a single snowflake fell.

I heard a few girls in the hotel talking about how students from the light music department of a private school were coming to perform on stage nearby.

Hoshino Ai, who was feeling depressed because she didn't go out much during the day, asked one of the girls carefully, and then dragged Makimura Taku to watch the show.

"Hasn't started yet?"

"It looks like it hasn't started yet."

"Great!"

When they reached their destination, Hoshino Ai finally breathed a sigh of relief because she had run so fast.

In a nearby open space, someone cleared the snow, piled firewood in the middle, and lit a bright bonfire.

The group of people erected a beech board several meters high at the back, covered it with a red curtain, and built a platform and stairs to create a stage that was neither too big nor too small, but looked presentable.

With her cute looks and sweet smile, Hoshino Ai thanked everyone along the way and pulled Makimura Taku's wrist to squeeze to the first row.

After a while, all the instruments, including electric guitar, drum set, bass and keyboard, were ready, followed by the sound check, and then the sound check was over.

Everyone looked towards the stage, Hoshino Ai also stared straight ahead, and several short girls came up the stairs on the right.

When everyone focused their attention on the spotlight, only Makimura Taku glanced at Hoshino Ai's profile.

At that time, the stage lights shone on her cheeks and the tip of her delicate nose.

Her eyes seemed to be the brightest thing in the world.

She doesn't need any makeup, she is so suitable for the spotlight on the stage.

What kind of picture was that? Makimura Taku thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't find an appropriate adjective.

What is about to come out is a sentence:

This girl named Hoshino Ai seems like a natural idol.

He turned his eyes away, and on the stage, several K-ON girls looked at each other.

The show begins.

The drummers start by hitting each other's drumsticks and shouting out instructions:

"One! two! three! four! one! two! three!"

The sound of electric guitar follows closely behind.

The short-haired brown girl who is also the electric guitarist is responsible for fingerstyle playing, while the long-haired black girl who is the bassist uses rapid clapping to set the rhythm.

After a few seconds of prelude, the two girls started performing with the instruments in their hands at the same time, and the keyboard player also started playing almost at the same time.

The sounds of instruments, lead vocals, praises, cheers, heartbeats, and applause.

Echigo Yuzawa at night seemed to be endowed with infinite vitality. The bonfire burned towards the black sky.

When one song ended, the second song started soon after, and then the third.

Until the show ends.

"thank you all!"

"K-ON!!!"

“I love it the most!!!”

"oh!!"

"The best K-ON!!"

Of all the sounds, only heartbeats and applause last forever.

Before leaving the stage, the bassist and lead singer, a girl with long black hair, bowed slightly to the audience.

Just as the girl was about to step off the stage, the cable connecting the bass to the speaker suddenly tripped her.

"..."

"what?"

"Eh?"

Several teammates looked at her, and the audience in the audience were all stunned.

Then there was a scream that drowned out the heartbeat.

Even the pine trees more than ten meters away were not spared, and the snow covering the treetops fell to the ground with a snap.

At 9:40, the performance officially ended, everyone helped to clean up the stage, and the bonfire was extinguished with snow water.

On the way back to the hotel, people talked about the "Blue and White Bowl". The atmosphere of the conversation was harmonious and everyone was talking and laughing.

In the quiet night like the deep sea, Hoshino Ai with long blue-purple hair fell behind the crowd, and Makimura Taku followed beside her with his hands in his clothes.

The two walked from the main road into the small path, stepped into the snow, and passed by the village. Every household in the village had a faint yellow light on.

They slowly stepped into the snow, as if to test its depth, leaving footprints along the way.

"Light Music Club?" Hoshino Ai seemed to be talking to herself.

She suddenly ran forward a few steps, raised her arms to keep her balance, looked at the dark blue snow, and tried to walk in a long straight line.

The result is predictable, everything is crooked.

She whispered softly, "People like them might be more suitable to be idols, right?"

Hearing this, Makimura Taku just looked up at her quietly.

That night, the moonlight parted the overlapping clouds and suddenly shone on her back, outlining her figure so clearly.

Makimura Taku almost lost his mind.

"How could that be?" he said.

"The audience likes them and they like the audience. This should be enough proof..." Hoshino Ai continued to move forward.

"Like it or not, you can't just look at it and tell it, right?"

"Hmm..." She seemed to be thinking about something and did not respond for a long time.

As the night deepens, all that can be seen is a winter scene, with street lamps and the bright moon competing to shine.

"I think," after a long while, Makimura Taku stopped where he was and looked at the dark blue skyline, "maybe you are more suitable to be an idol than anyone else."

The footprints extending along the crooked straight line stopped before reaching the hotel.

A sudden cool breeze blew across Hoshino Ai's face.

"Thank you for saying that, Makimura-kun."

When she turned around, the girl's bangs fluttered slightly and a special light flashed in her clear eyes.

"I'm really, really happy!"

She smiled, probably her third smile that day.

Even Taku Makimura forgot: it turned out that the first two laughs were yesterday.

A little late, sorry.

Thank you everyone for your recommendation votes.

Thanks to [VixSang] for the monthly ticket!
