If I don't capture the girl, I will die

She was wearing the same black and white maid outfit as everyone else.

But among so many people in the store, she was the only one who revealed a strange and delicate temperament that made people feel pity for her. She had a plump and slender figure, revealing the unique charm of a high school girl. Her flaxen hair was tied into a strange hair accessory like a bird, her facial features were delicate and beautiful, her amber pupils were glowing with a watery luster, and her sweet smile came from the heart. This girl exuded a dazzling brilliance that made people unable to look away.

That’s right, she is Minami Kotori.

The soft girl in μs.

Then, it was obvious where he was now.

A maid shop in Akihabara.

This is not the first time Ji Qi has come to visit recently.

Because of his willingness and the fact that Minami Qinli was a very easy-to-talk-to girl, their relationship quickly became close.

At least, we can truly be called friends.

Probably, a little closer than her relationship with Nishikino Maki appears to be.

There's no way, Maki's personality is just too arrogant.

"It's okay, it's understandable that Nan is busy with work on weekends." Ji Qi said with a smile. It is currently the peak time in the afternoon on the weekend. Nan Qinli is a famous maid in this house and even in the whole Akihabara, so it is understandable that she is too busy.

There are still many guests and otakus secretly looking at this girl.

"Thank you, Master. What would you like to eat?" The pretty face of the beautiful girl in a maid outfit bloomed with a sweet smile that healed people's hearts. Now it was working time, and she couldn't chat with Ji Qi.

Although the cheerful manager of this maid shop might not mind, it is unacceptable to mix personal feelings in a workplace where everyone is watching.

Fortunately, Ji Qi is very understanding.

He never made any excessive requests. Most of the time, they just drank coffee and read books in silence. Only occasionally, they would chat for a while. It seemed that he regarded this as a coffee shop to kill time...

What a weird thing.

Generally, the people who come to maid shops are otakus, who come to see the maids or interact with them. Because apart from the atmosphere and the maid outfits, the drinks and food in maid shops are very average. They can't be compared with professional restaurants at all.

There are so many people in the maid shop, and he is probably the only one.

But what's strange is that no one has ever talked about Ji Qi's strange behavior.

Even Nan Qinli didn't think there was anything wrong.

Well, I guess I didn’t notice it…

"Mr. Nan's limited edition love lunch should have been sold out a long time ago, right? Just give me a caramel macchiato." Ji Qi said in a joking tone without even flipping through the menu.

He did not use the pseudonym "Nanai-chan" that Minami Kotori was a little close to at the maid shop. He preferred to use his real name.

"If the master wants, there are still plenty of them, right?"

Hearing this, Nan Qinli blinked her charming eyes, looking very playful. Ji Qi was talking about the signature dish of this maid shop - the omelette rice made by her.

Just make three servings per day.

The price is five or six times more expensive than ordinary ones, so it can be said to be a big brand.

But it still sells out very early every day.

As a part-time worker, Nan Qinli didn't have much to say about the store manager's little marketing trick.

However, Ji Qi can be said to be the only acquaintance who knows that she works part-time.

Make an exception and make one for him yourself. As long as the customers don't know about it, no one will say anything.

"I don't mind, if you don't mind." Ji Qi shrugged. As a man who used to be crazy about supporting a team of out-of-date idols, it was a dreamlike and happy time for him to eat the meal made by Nan Qinli herself.

Although the taste can't be called delicious.

"Then please wait for a moment, Master." The first time, she was a little shy. But now facing Ji Qi, Nan Qinli's smile never stopped, like the warm spring sunshine. She bowed slightly, then lifted her skirt to her heels and walked towards the kitchen.

Ji Qi retracted his gaze and took out his cell phone.

If you want to win, you have to participate in LoveLive, and the prerequisite is that you have to rank above 20th among campus idols to be eligible.

μs’s ranking is now…forty-seventh.

Above, there are only two PVs.

In less than a month, it has jumped so much from the bottom.

Ji Qi seemed to see the huge number of lesbians in this world rising...

Maybe he had some contribution to this?

Thinking of this, Ji Qi felt a little satisfied. He understood why Aki Tomoya tried so hard to recommend his favorite works to others.

I always like out-of-date idols!

While waiting for snacks, Ji Qi was thinking about something.

However, at this moment, he didn't know that on the other side, the one he had ignored, Maki...

……

PS: This is not a chapter break, there is a next chapter! In order to keep it going, I wrote 4000 words before posting it. You are such a conscientious author (thumbs-up)

Chapter 185 Is it him? !

Maki Nishikino is having a very happy life lately.

This is the first time she has lived such a happy life every day since her only friend in junior high school went abroad.

Although she always appears cold on the outside, she is really happy inside as she practices and chats with her friends every day.

——Maki likes music very much. She likes piano.

But when she was a child, her father told her, "Maki just needs to study hard. It doesn't matter whether you play the piano well or not."

From then on, the musical dream that had taken root in her heart was gradually hidden behind the two titles of "excellent student Maki, heir of the Nishikino family".

When I was in middle school, I rarely even went to the piano classroom.

In high school, I was influenced by someone and couldn't help wanting to play it.

And then, I met Kousaka Honoka——I met μs.

It's full of fateful coincidences.

I was forced to write their first idol song.

Forced to join the society.

Forced to participate in the first practice.

It was obviously forced, but it felt so - gripping.

It turns out that practicing so hard can also be a very happy thing?

Is this the reward for pursuing your dreams?

Of course, Maki didn't feel anything at first about the fact that Otonomoto, a new student, was about to be expelled from school. But this is only natural, right?

After all, you can't let a student who has not been in school for even a month, whose school life is dull every day and who has no friends have any warm feelings for this school.

If there is any strong emotion, it is hypocrisy.

Even so, I could sense the determination that Kousaka Honoka and the others had made to protect the school.

The determination to move forward on the path of being an idol.

Maki felt a sense of belonging to the Otonomuku Academy where they met.

I don't want it to be abandoned.

It would be great if I could save the school in a way that I like, and if I succeed.

That’s what Maki thinks.

Oh, really, why is she so sentimental today?

Maybe it’s because I just watched the new PV they uploaded a few days ago, hehe.

She picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip. Just as she was about to go study and practice the piano, she accidentally found a copy of "Weekly Shonen Jump" in a corner of the clean and tidy table.

She hasn't seen it this week.

The desire to read comics instantly overwhelmed studying.

Anyway, there is still plenty of time today, right?

Since Maki has always been a good child in the eyes of her parents, her parents never pay too much attention to her.

It's just for a little while, that's okay.

Feeling at ease, Maki found a reason for herself, picked up the comic, and took small steps back to her big bed full of girlish atmosphere.

After adjusting to a comfortable position, she skipped the first color page and began to read it carefully.

Maki didn't originally read comics.

I learned about "Your Lie in April" purely by chance.

This story begins a few days ago.

I remember that it was her classmates who were discussing comics.

"Hey, listen to me, Minako, I found a really cool manga recently."

"Hey, what comics?"

"Your Lie in April is a comic with piano as its theme. This is not important. What is important is that it is really good to read!"

"Ah... I only read girls' and BL comics."

"Well, I know this. Take a look. Trust me, I won't let you down!"

"All right……"

It's a very normal thing. Although Otonomu is a girls' school, there are many girls who like comics.

Originally, Maki didn't care.

Until she heard the word "piano", which was very important to her.

She immediately became cautious.

On her way home from school that day, she happened to see the eye-catching colorful cover of the convenience store that showed Kousei Arima playing the piano.

Considering what her classmates were talking about, she hesitated for a moment and finally bought the issue of Weekly Shonen Jump.

This was her first time to come into contact with anything related to the 'second dimension'.

At the time, Maki didn't pay much attention to it. After returning home, she went through her daily routine of studying, practicing piano, waiting for her parents to come back for dinner, taking a shower and getting ready for bed, and then she realized that she had bought this thing.

Before going to bed, she opened the booklet with great interest.

As someone who has been learning piano since she was a child and even regarded piano as a dream and a kind of beautiful existence in her heart, Maki actually had a biased perspective on this comic which focuses on music and piano at the beginning.

result……

After watching it, the expert Maki was immediately addicted to it.

Especially this author, the songs he selected are all very classic classical music.

Perfect for her taste.

Moreover, Maki could conclude that the author could play the piano, and probably was very good at it.

It can be seen not only from the inner narration, but also from many details.

What amazed Maki the most, who had never read comics before, was the level of detail in the author’s drawings.

When the protagonist Kousei Arima is playing, his fingers are drawn very flexibly and the position of his wrists is also depicted very accurately.

She has never played the violin, so I won't comment on it.

What's more, the plot and characters of this comic are also very attractive.

All of this made Maki gradually fall into it.

I experienced the charm of comics. Maki, who had the typical good kid's schedule, went to bed in the early morning, which was the first time in a long time.
