Unlike her peers like Honoka, she doesn't have to always be careful about her words and actions.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ji Qi, and I'm a sophomore at Fengzhizaki High School. I'm just friends with Nishikino, and my hobby is piano..." Seeing the three people's eyes on him, Ji Qi coughed, stood up, and introduced himself briefly.

It's so troublesome to pretend not to know them even though I know them.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, what qualifications does he have to criticize the smooth-talking Yukinoshita Haruno?

Isn't he the same? Wearing various masks to disguise himself.

From this perspective, he seems to have the potential to be a politician? Well, in the past, he would have been a qualified and good party member!

There is a little difference though.

He knows very well when to tell the truth and when to lie.

Most of the time, people tell lies when they have no choice.

If we tell the truth, it will only embarrass both parties. Language is a very scary weapon.

After introducing themselves, they finally got to know each other.

on the surface.

As soon as she finished speaking, Kousaka Honoka said impatiently: "We are the same age! And Hime Nana-kun...what a strange name. By the way, Hime Nana-kun can also play the piano? Could it be that you met Maki through this?"

“Yes, that’s exactly why.”

Hearing the question, Ji Qi answered.

Although he was surprised how such an idiot as Honoka could guess this so quickly...

"Ji Qijun, I think you seem to be thinking about something rude!"

Idiots have strong intuition!

"Well, maybe it's my illusion. So, who is better at playing the piano, you or Maki?" Honoka blinked and asked curiously.

"Honoka..." Umi Sonoda quietly pulled the hem of Honoka's skirt again. How could she say such a thing? We were all friends, why did she have to compare ourselves?

People who are petty-minded may get angry over such trivial matters.

"Oh, sorry, I shouldn't ask that." Kousaka Honoka, who was just curious and spoke without thinking too much, scratched her scalp in distress. She was the kind of person who couldn't hide her problems from her friends!

"Senior is more powerful."

Unexpectedly, Maki answered the question calmly.

Not arrogant?!

The girls exclaimed in their hearts.

Ji Qi accepted the compliment without any hesitation and said, "I think Xi Mu Ye is also very good."

Business mutual praise?

At least, that's how it looks in the eyes of these outsiders!

The girls were all very easy to get along with and had no airs. Plus, Ji Qi was Zhen Ji's friend, so after chatting for a while, the sense of strangeness that they had when they first met was much lessened.

"The campus idol that Kosaka just mentioned should be the one composed entirely of students, right?"

There was a flash of hesitation in his mind, but Ji Qi finally said this.

There is nothing wrong with this sentence. Honoka Kousaka has already mentioned school idols, so it doesn't seem abrupt.

What’s important is that this confirms that his current public identity is that he does not know μs.

The person who secretly sent the letter knew them, and the person who promoted them on Twitter also knew them. The latter was easy to explain, after all, the concept was vague at the time, and he didn't say that he had followed them.

This creates a conflict.

If it were exposed, the girls would easily figure out where the problem was.

then……

They will doubt their purpose of approaching them.

Once doubt arises, it will be difficult to make others believe what you say without a strong explanation.

……

Chapter 142 Ordinary People

This is not his delusion, but something that has a very high probability of happening.

Don't think you're too smart.

Ji Qi always demands this of himself in daily interactions.

Compared to the heroines around her who are both talented and beautiful, such as Kasumigaoka Utaha, Sawamura Eriri, or Yukinoshita Yukino, Himechi is more like an ordinary person.

Apart from music, his success was almost achieved by cheating.

No one can succeed by luck all the time. What if his system goes crazy one day and takes back all the rewards?

With supernatural things like this, anything is possible.

Because he knew his own background very well, Ji Qi always worked hard with a humble heart, learning useful knowledge every day and working until late at night. Almost all of his free time was squeezed out.

The only time I can relax and have fun is when I'm with girls.

Hearing Hime Nana mention the campus idol, Kousaka Honoka asked excitedly, "Does Hime Nana-kun know about it too?"

Minami Kotori and Sonoda Umi both felt a little embarrassed, but also a little happy, to discuss this topic with a boy in public.

"Well, although they are not as good as professional idols, I feel that these girls are very cute and hardworking." Ji Qi said with a smile. In fact, among so many campus idols, he only paid attention to μs. He was also referring to them here.

"I think so too!" Honoka had a look on her face as if she had found a comrade. In their ears, Hime Nana was referring to all idols in general, but she treated it as if she were praising herself and shared the honor.

Ji Qi glanced at Zhen Ji, who had been very quiet since a while ago.

Maybe it was because Maki was also staring at him, but he was discovered.

A playful smile appeared on Ji Qi's lips.

Kousaka Honoka's diary is still being updated, but not as frequently.

Thanks to this, although there were only a few simple records on it, he could roughly guess what the current situation was based on his previous memories.

Maki has fallen!

He once...oh no, what did Dazai Osamu once say?

Staring at Maki, Ji Qi suddenly asked, "Are you and Maki also campus idols?"

"Yes!"

"What are you talking about? I didn't!"

"..."

Maki stopped twirling her fingers around her hair.

It turned into pulling hair.

Especially when meeting Ji Qi's eyes that seemed to see through everything, Maki's elegant face was tinged with an abnormal blush.

It's really embarrassing...

Minami Kotori and Sonoda Umi also blushed and turned their heads away awkwardly.

"If you don't mind, could you tell me the name of the team?"

Ji Qi went through the procedure again.

Then he noticed that there was nothing on their table.

Ah...it seems like I just called the waiter, but he didn’t come.

He pressed it again, and this time it came quickly.

After taking the menu, he handed it to Kousaka Honoka across from him, "Maybe the waiter wasn't busy just now, and there was no response when I called Yono. Order whatever you want, it's my treat."

Ji Qi explained on behalf of Yukinoshita Haruno.

"We are called μs! We already have six members, is that true?"

"I have a similar feeling about this. It is indeed easy to forget in the afternoon when there are many people..."

"Ho-no-ka! Eh? Kotori?"

With her eyebrows tightly furrowed, Sonoda Umi, who was originally planning to correct Honoka, was stunned. Where do you get this sense of commonality from, Kotori?

"Ahahaha... that's it... that's how I felt when I was working for my relatives!"

Nan Qinli knew that she had let the cat out of the bag and faced her friend's suspicious look, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Working part-time is not something to be ashamed of.

The problem is, her job is a maid!

Still a very famous one.

Anyway, I'm too embarrassed to say it out loud.

At this time, Minami Kotori, whose flaxen hair was tied into a bird-like hairstyle, had the same mood as Maki, which was rare.

With a "oh" sound, Umi Sonoda didn't think much about it.

"It's okay, it's just a meal. At worst, you can treat me again next time." Ji Qi said sincerely again. The price of this restaurant that Yang Nai randomly found is indeed average, and it is a restaurant that even students can afford.

Now the three girls did not even refuse Sonoda Umi and ordered some drinks.

After walking around the street and talking a lot, I was already thirsty.

They are not angry...

Great.

Although Maki remained silent, she was actually very worried about the fact that she lied.

Her mood improved and she felt that even the current silence was so refreshing.

On the plastic table filled with various snacks and drinks, Ji Qi took the initiative to bring up the topic, and the girls were talking and laughing until the end.

Although Himeshichi's communication skills are not as good as Yukinoshita Haruno's, she knows the personalities of Kousaka Honoka and the others. Add to that the topic of school idols and music, and the current atmosphere seems to be more harmonious than if Yukinoshita Haruno herself were present.

It was already late when we left the shopping mall.

sunset.

The gentle spring breeze caresses my cheeks.

Although he said he was shopping, he actually spent most of his time in the store drinking...

The process and results seem to be good?

Successfully signed a contract with Shueisha.

This was the first time I had formal contact with the girls from μs in real life.

It refreshed Yukinoshita Haruno's impression of him. Maybe?

By the way, if I heard correctly before, Miss Yang Nai seemed to know that he ranked in the top four?

How did she know? Did the Second Miss tell her?

That's impossible. So you watched it in person at school? That's even more impossible.

Ah... I remember now. It must be because of Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Never mind. It doesn't matter.

Well, it would be nice if everything could go so smoothly in the future.

After sorting out today's results, Ji Qi sighed.

"Then, Ji Qijun, shall we say goodbye here?"

On the sidewalk at the intersection, a dazzling red light flashes, warning pedestrians not to wander around.
