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

After listening quietly, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had almost understood the personnel composition of μs, looked at Ji Qi with a strange look. Such detailed information, even a true fan would find it difficult to understand, right? Then what should he be called? A brainless fan? She had rarely seen him so obsessed.

"It's okay. After all, we've known each other for a long time." Ji Qi said nonchalantly.

Look ahead again.

A gorgeous stage, colorful rectangular strips, balloons, cute big heart-shaped stickers, and seven girls standing on the stage, wearing gorgeous stage costumes and looking very dazzling.

Maybe it was because of the baptism of the auditorium last time, and the fact that this time they were just shooting a PV, the girls of μs looked very relaxed.

Only when she sees him does she act shy and uncomfortable.

Maybe because he is the only boy...?

The spotlight switched on, and the blinding flash only enhanced the glow emanating from them.

Finally debug the music and lights and make sure everything is OK.

The scene paused, then continued.

Instantly, the melody sounded.

"If we put our wishes together, perhaps we can achieve something..."

"Even though it's just a small force..."

Below the stage, professional cameras were pointed at them.

Seeing this, Ji Qi stopped recording with his mobile phone.

When they come back, just ask them to send you a copy of the video.

Standing at a seat not too far from the stage, Ji Qi, who was watching μs’ live performance for the second time, asked softly, “Shiyu, have you ever been to a concert?”

"What did you say?"

The loud sound coming from beside him drowned out his small voice.

Since she couldn't hear anything at all, Kasumigaoka Utaha moved closer to him and tilted her ear.

Ji Qi moved his mouth closer at the right time and repeated it into her ear.

"I went there once with my parents a long time ago. I'm not a fan of celebrities. But now I think it's a good experience to come here once in a while."

The two were very close to each other, so they could easily hear each other's voices. However, he still missed the last words of Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was focusing on the dazzling stage with the spotlight on her.

Chapter 249 Human Energy Is Limited

After the four-and-a-half-minute performance ended, everyone naturally went back to their own homes.

Of course, there is also some chatting.

Although there were only a few people in the audience, they all knew what kind of concert this was. Therefore, even though they were sweating profusely, everyone looked very energetic.

Compared to the real entertainment industry, they are as beautiful as stories in fairy tales.

To be honest, looking at the genuine happy smiles on the girls' faces, Ji Qi was still a little envious.

The older you get, the more things you have to consider, and the harder it is to enjoy such simple happiness.

"Well, how about we all have a celebration party together?"

Having just returned all the performance items and before having time to rest, Kousaka Honoka spoke loudly with shining eyes.

Although I couldn't help when I came, Ji Qi still contributed to the physical work just now.

By the way, after listening to Nan Qinli's explanation, he realized that the lighting equipment was borrowed from the drama club in the school, and the music equipment was from the light music club. The rest of the trivial things were rented.

Hearing this question, Ji Qi hesitated for a moment. According to Kousaka Honoka's personality, she obviously included him and Kasumigaoka Utaha together.

He has a good relationship with the second-year trio and Maki in μs, which is fine. As for Kasumigaoka Utaha, although she is his friend, she is just a friend of a friend to μs, and a complete outsider. Moreover, Utaha's personality and temperament are completely unfriendly. The effect of destroying the atmosphere is absolutely first-class.

But he was bound to Kasumigaoka Utaha, so it was impossible for him to leave her behind and take the initiative to attend μs's celebration party.

So, in order not to make things difficult for both parties, it is better to refuse the invitation and go home with Shiyu.

Ji Qi made a choice.

"You guys just go and have fun. My sister is waiting for me at home. I have to go home first. Don't worry about me and Shiyu."

In the school corridor, Yazawa Nico and Himechi, who had changed back into their normal school uniforms, said in unison: "Honoka, people's energy is limited, Nico..."

Kousaka Honoka was surprised and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"I'm already very tired today! Aren't you tired? And it's getting dark now. Let's hold the celebration party another day!" Nicole Yazawa shook her black twin ponytails and said weakly.

It wasn't just her, everyone else had similar expressions. After all, apart from the five minutes of singing and dancing, the preparations before and after were actually more tiring.

I give this JOJO meme a very good score!

Ji Qi complained on the side. Although their group consisted of eight women and one man, which was an overwhelming number, he had already gotten used to it after going through so many trials and tribulations.

"That's right." Looking at the dim sky outside and feeling the tiredness all over her body, Honoka Kousaka stuck out her tongue and dispelled her previous thoughts.

Picking a silent atmosphere, Ji Qi took the initiative to say: "By the way, can anyone send me a copy of the video? I will help you upload it to Station N."

"I'll do it~"

Nan Qinli raised her hand. Seeing someone taking the initiative to do the job, the others had no objection.

In addition to the four people who knew Ji Qi, the other three first-year students had also heard of Ji Qi's name from Nan Qinli and the others.

They initially had a very high impression of a friend (fan) who helped them for free and recognized them. In addition, there were many girls around them now, so they were less shy about being with Ji Qi, the only boy. Xingkong Lin was so bold that she could even chat with Ji Qi for a few words.

"Speaking of which, we are now ranked 30th. And we haven't had a proper celebration since then. I think a half-celebration party is more appropriate! If it's not possible today, how about changing it to this weekend?"

While Ji Qi was thinking about whether to mention Ayase Eri to them in a subtle way, Kousaka Honoka, who was walking in front, stopped and looked at them seriously.

Umi Sonoda, who rarely refused her childhood playmate's requests, was the first to say, "Well, if it's the weekend..."

"I don't have any objection either." Nan Qinli also agreed in a gentle voice.

Seeing that the second-year trio had made their decision, Maki and the others would have no objections.

"You should also come with Kasumigaoka-san, Himeshichi-kun." With a bright smile on her face, Honoka invited Himeshichi who was in a trance. Even though Honoka had always been a very outgoing person since she was a child, she was a little stiff when facing the powerful Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"I'm sorry, Kousaka-san. Although I really want to accept your invitation, I have to stay at home writing all day this weekend, so I may not be able to go."

Before Ji Qi could speak, Kasumigaoka Shiyu took the initiative to speak with an apologetic look. Her manners were impeccable. Shiyu was no less intelligent or emotionally intelligent than Ji Qi, and she had a clear understanding of what she was like. She had obviously come to the same conclusion as Ji Qi.

In order not to embarrass Ji Qi and his friends, she chose to withdraw voluntarily.

Kousaka Honoka scratched her head and said very sincerely, "Is that so... That's a pity. I really want to have dinner with a beauty like Kasumigaoka-san."

The other girls also nodded. Of all the people in their team, none of them thought they could compare to the mature black-stockinged beauty in front of them who was so stunning at first sight. In short, it was the obvious difference between high school students and working people.

"If you don't mind, there will be a chance next time. Just have fun with him this weekend."

Faced with such a sincere and familiar person, even Kasumigaoka Utaha, who is always very aloof in front of outsiders, can no longer be so aloof.

How should I put it? Ji Qi is really amazing to have met so many innocent friends, in many ways. Or is he especially good at dealing with girls?

Why are they all girls?

After pondering for a while, Kasumigaoka Utaha discovered that except for the one named Aki Tomoya, all the other people around Himechi were girls!

Even the editors are women.

Also no one.

"Then we'll say goodbye here."

Night has fallen.

At the school gate, the girls waved to each other after saying they would contact each other via text message if they had any questions.

Those who were on the way home walked together consciously.

The second-year trio walked together, the first-years Hanayo Rin and Yazawa Nico went in another direction, and the last ones were Kasumigaoka Utaha, Himeshichi, and Maki.

Once there is an outsider present, as long as that person is not Sawamura Eriri or Kato Megumi, Kasumigaoka Utaha will appear very quiet.

Apart from Ji Qi, she has no common topics with others.

Nor will I take the initiative to make friends with someone because of him.

Chapter 250: People live for Mashiro

On the streets of Tokyo at night, three people walked forward while keeping a subtle distance from each other.

Neither girl spoke.

Ji Qi believed that as long as he didn't speak, and if they had nothing to do, they would definitely remain silent until they parted.

After thinking about it, he decided to take the initiative to chat with Maki since he was familiar with both of them. It would be nice to know more about their team's usual status.

As for Kasumigaoka Utaha, since they see each other every day, there is nothing that needs to be discussed in this occasion. Besides, their lives are not that exciting. If they run out of topics to talk about, what else can they talk about in normal times?

It is also important to maintain a certain sense of freshness.

"Xikino, are you still in charge of the music?"

Music is the biggest common topic for the two of them. As for the comics that were added a while ago, can you expect Nishikino Maki to talk to him about this when there is another girl around?

Without realizing it, Maki hummed as she put her fingers on her hair again.

"The song continues the previous sunny and positive style, which I think is very good. Just keep it up. If you change it hastily at this critical moment, something unexpected might happen."

Most of the people who know campus idols are middle and high school students. Although most of the students of this age think about love, groups like them that simply convey inspirational positive energy are also popular. Another world's μs also proved their success. Of course, he believes that they can do better now.

"I understand."

Zhen Ji could still listen to Ji Qi's suggestion. After all, the other party was the one she admired in her heart. As a girl with a good family background, not a fan of celebrities, and excellent academic performance, this situation was very rare.

“Are you planning on releasing new videos?”

“I guess there’s only enough time for one more movie.”

"That's enough. By the way, Nishikino, how were your test scores recently?"

Maki's mouth twitched at Ji Qi's jumping around in the topic, and she said after a moment's pause: "Are you looking down on me? It's okay."

"Come on, the midterm exam is coming soon."

Ji Qi answered casually that he felt that Nishikino Maki, who had excellent grades, did not need his supervision. It was just like what Yazawa Nicole had said before, people's energy was limited, and Nishikino Maki spent all her time on idols every day, which would definitely affect her studies to some extent.

Feeling that Ji Qi was looking down on her, Zhen Ji curled her lips and said confidently: "I will definitely do well in the exam!"

Wow.

Is it really okay to set up flags so casually? Don't underestimate the power of flags, Miss Nishikino.

Shaking his head, Ji Qi changed the topic and continued to discuss some topics about music with her.

In this regard, it can be said that Xiao Baixiazhiqiu Shiyu was completely confused.

It can be seen that the relationship between the two is now quite good. At least when chatting, Maki is no longer so shy, and when talking about classical music, she is more proactive. She can also make some harmless jokes.

They chatted intermittently and soon it was time for them to say goodbye.

The road ahead is not convenient.

After bidding farewell to the red-haired tsundere girl who subtly revealed a hint of reluctance, Ji Qi stretched his body as he watched a group of people gathered in front of him and walked towards the JR train entrance.

It’s a really nice experience.

Whether it's watching the live concert, sitting in the special seats, or just being with them.

hum-

"Brother, are you still out? We ate all the snacks yesterday. Remember to bring me some dessert when you come back!"

"no problem."

Looking at the message on the phone screen, Ji Qi replied readily.

Standing at the entrance of the station, Ji Qi said to Kasumigaoka Shiyu: "Shiyu, I want to buy some snacks for Sagiri. Do you want to go back first or come with me?"

"You are such a hopeless sister-con... I'm going back today."

After steadying the pure white hairband in her hand, Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke calmly. Although she still wanted to stay with him, she would not rely too much on a man. It was true that she was very lonely, but love was not everything in her life. She had her own dreams and goals to achieve.
