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

Ji Qi turned around on the ergonomic chair he had bought some time ago and took out his cell phone again.

The edited text messages can be ignored, but Maki's are different.

Replying to messages quickly will give the other person a sense of importance. When the relationship has really reached a point where it won't be affected by these small details, you can also try to suddenly leave the other person alone for a while to test her reaction and let the girl fall into her own fantasies.

This is a technique Ji Qi had figured out before for chatting with girls.

By the way, he didn't even think about conquering Maki...or was he subconsciously holding such thoughts?

To be precise, no one would hate to have a good relationship with such a cute and tsundere girl.

Now no longer timid and having come to terms with things, Ji Qi shook his head and continued to send messages to Zhen Ji.

the other side.

Maki, wearing comfortable home clothes, controlled the mouse wheel, looked at the information on the computer and mobile phone screens, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

In her eyes, when she first came into contact with the relevant world, Ji Qi's attitude was stable!

Since Ji Qi himself said that he likes Gong Yuan Xun very much, then this illness and hospitalization must be nothing serious. The following process may have some twists and turns, but the ending must be perfect and happy!

Tragedy does not exist.

Maki, who hadn't noticed the contradiction in Ji Qi's words, curled up her snow-white toes slightly, "Hehe, I knew you still have a conscience."

"I don't quite understand what you're trying to say, but I'll take it as a compliment. Also, please call me senior!"

Chapter 311 Laziness

The night is getting deeper.

However, Maki was still holding her cell phone, playing with it enthusiastically while lying on the bed.

Watch some videos, check Twitter, and chat with Ji Qi and her friends on LINE. Maki didn't use Twitter much before, and she only had a few friends on LINE. These changes only came after she met them.

Before I knew it, it was already nine o'clock.

Looking at the time, after hesitating for another ten minutes, Maki reluctantly turned off her phone and got off the bed.

Her self-control is pretty good.

The fact that she has maintained such excellent grades since she was young speaks volumes. Maki's talent in studying is only average, and she relies more on hard work.

She has an exam tomorrow, so she needs to review for a while longer.

Maki had the same idea about exams as most top students - it didn't matter.

She has a clear understanding of her own achievements and is confident, so it doesn't matter.

Maki, who had always been among the top three students in her class, didn't have any thoughts about the exam tomorrow. At most, she would review a little longer than usual at night.

However, today's review time is less than usual...

Turning on the desk lamp, good girl Maki decided to go to bed later today.

It's summer vacation soon after the exams.

Then I will have more time to practice and hang out with Muse and the others.

I'm kind of looking forward to that kind of scene.

Thinking of this, Maki smiled silently, then took out her books and notes, and studied more seriously and enthusiastically than usual.

……

the next day.

"I'm going out!" After finishing breakfast, Maki habitually whispered to the empty room.

Her parents seemed to be a little busy recently and went out very early these two days.

But breakfast was still prepared for her.

and also……

They are still very concerned about the exam results.

Thinking of the content of the small note on the table, Maki felt quite annoyed. Why do they always care about grades the most...

After she walked out of the room, the oncoming sunlight made her squint her eyes subconsciously.

The weather is calm and sunny.

The nice weather relieved Maki's depression a lot.

She walked towards the school with light steps.

Less than twenty minutes later, a shrine appeared in front of Maki.

Kanda Shrine.

At this time, from the stairs of the black-tiled, red-walled, slightly ancient and quiet shrine, several energetic and cheerful young girls' voices were heard.

as always.

This was the place they had decided on for morning practice. In the past, she would just quietly observe Kousaka Honoka and the other two practicing when she passed by on her way to school. Now, since she joined Muse, she would practice dancing at Kanda Shrine before school. It was something they did every day.

The class starts at 8:20 in the morning, and they arrive at around 6:30 and return to school around 8:00.

If you think about it carefully, the schedule is similar to that of ordinary club activities. By the way, this is the schedule planned by Umi.

Lifting her hair at the temples, Maki walked up the stairs surrounded by dense tree canopies.

"Maki-chan, you're so late!"

As soon as she showed her head, she was discovered by the sharp-eyed Honoka Kousaka.

Moreover, the first time she saw her, Honoka instantly smiled with a smile as warm as the sun hanging high above her head and waved to her.

Hearing Honoka's words, the other girls who were stretching also looked in the direction of the voice.

The girls immediately expressed their welcome in different ways.

Sonoda Umi's dignified smile; Ayase Eri and Tojo Nozomi looked at each other and smiled; Hoshizora Rin, another energetic member of the team, ran over and hugged Maki.

Maki, who was already used to similar situations, didn't even bother to act tsundere and silently pushed Rin away a little.

My heart was filled with a strange sense of satisfaction.

The slight loneliness that I had felt before disappeared all at once.

"I didn't expect Maki to be the last one to arrive today."

Nan Qinli, whose flaxen hair was tied into a complicated ponytail, wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel and said with some curiosity.

At first there were only three of them, then gradually there were six, then seven, nine... er, it should be eight. Tojo Nozomi was wearing a beautiful shrine maiden costume and picking up a broom to clean the shrine.

I always find it magical.

Honoka Kousaka asked curiously, "Could it be that you were too nervous to sleep yesterday and woke up late today because you had an exam soon?"

"Do you think Maki is the same idiot as you?" The heroic Sonoda Umi, wearing a white shirt, retorted to her friend speechlessly.

Honoka was half right.

She did sleep a little late yesterday because of the exam, but she wasn't nervous.

Maki answered secretly in her mind.

"Okay, everyone, let's start practicing quickly. You have to go to school earlier than usual today to review your lessons." As the elder in the team and also the student council president, Eri Ayase, who has a strong sense of responsibility, believes that it is her obligation to take good care of the girls of Muse.

After spending some time together, everyone got used to Eri Ayase's strictness in some aspects, even though she was as mature and reliable as an older sister.

Examination...

Coincidentally, the idiot representatives from grades one, two and three avoided looking at each other.

Can they do it?

Even though they had given them special tutoring some time ago, Sonoda Umi and the others still looked worried.

In short, everything that should be done has been done. At this last moment, no matter how much you worry, it will not help.

The girls, having come to terms with their thoughts, simply stopped thinking about the exams and began to concentrate on practicing.

With the addition of Eri Ayase, it can be clearly felt that the team's dance moves have reached a higher level of coordination.

Of course, most things have their pros and cons. The price of significant progress in dance is hard work.

Muscle soreness can cause strain if you are not careful.

But even so, no one ever gave up. At most, they complained a little and continued to practice.

Half an hour later, Maki, with a pink towel around her neck, breathed lightly and sat on a stone bench to rest.

In the early summer weather of June, she sweated a lot due to the long and continuous physical exercise.

The morning light passed through the leaves, leaving a few colorful spots of light on the girl's body.

Maki took out the drink that Tojo Nozomi had specially prepared for them from the plastic bag and took a sip, then she squinted her eyes and looked up at the sky.

Although such days are tiring, they are very exciting and fulfilling.

She's not annoying at all.

If only it could continue...

For some reason, an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness invaded the girl's heart.

Chapter 312 Abnormality

The exam started.

Maki forced herself to ignore the distress signal sent by Rin on her left side, and played with the pen in the silent classroom.

Even if they are good friends, she can't help the other person cheat!

It would be better to say that it is precisely because we are good friends that I cannot help her cheat.

Even simple hints won’t work!

Really, I helped you with your studies before...

Although she said that, Maki still softened her heart when she noticed Rin's pitiful eyes, as if she was a puppy abandoned by its owner.

In order to get rid of these unnecessary distractions, Maki calmed herself down and focused all her attention on the test paper in front of her.

The first test was in English.

Maki is confident about English as she is not weak in the subject.

The pen in his hand kept moving.

In the blink of an eye, all eight subjects that required examinations were over.

It took two days.

Maki stretched out lazily due to the fatigue from doing the exercises continuously.

Then you can practice well.

Because of the exams these past two days, their progress has fallen behind a lot... There is also the last concert before the LoveLive, but she has not made any progress in music. And a new comic was released this week.

It feels like there are so many things to do, hehe.

Maki, feeling completely relaxed after the test, packed her things and headed for their school balcony.

They agreed at noon that they would practice hard after the exam.

By the way, let’s exchange each other’s achievements.

Arriving at the rooftop, where the dream began, Maki looked around and saw that many people had already arrived besides her.

Kousaka Honoka came close to Maki, full of curiosity, "Hey, Maki-chan, how did you do on the exam?"

"So-so..."

Maki answered casually. It would not be appropriate for her to be humble or proud in this regard, so she just followed her heart.

"By the way, where are Umi and senior Kotonari Honoka?" Maki was also very curious about her friend's grades.

"We are all fine. The problem is Honoka..." Sonoda Umi sighed heavily. Even though they were helping with tutoring this time, she undoubtedly knew her best friend's situation as she had grown up with them.
