Chapter 63
To be honest, Takamine Mineo knew that even if he didn't lift a finger, the idol group μ's would eventually form on its own!
However, there was no reason to let those cute girls struggle aimlessly through such a complicated process. Now that he had the power to lend Kotori and the others a hand, he naturally chose to guide them so they could avoid some of the unnecessary detours!
It's worth mentioning that in the world of Love Live!, many of the girls were actually Mineo's online chat buddies!
And so, at the first opportunity, Mineo decided it was time to take action once again!
After ending his message thread with Nishikino Maki, Mineo sent a text to Ayase Eli.
"Is Ayase-senpai there?"
"Takamine-kun, I'm here. What made you suddenly think of looking for me to chat today?"
"I heard from a friend living in Tokyo that your school is going to be closed soon?"
"Yes! That is indeed happening, but I won't just sit idly by. I've gathered all the members of the Student Council now to brainstorm a solution. I won't let the school be forced into closure just like that!"
"Amazing! Senpai really is worthy of being the Student Council President! So, have you decided on what to do yet?"
"I haven't thought of a good solution for the time being, mostly because the Chairwoman doesn't agree with me running promotional activities for the school under the Student Council's name... I'm currently considering other possible ways!"
"Also, Takamine-kun, can you stop calling me Ayase-senpai all the time? It feels weird hearing it! Just call me Eli!"
"But calling you Ayase-senpai feels a bit more intimate..."
"Intimate!? I don't feel any intimacy from being called 'senpai.' Or, Takamine-kun could call me Eli-senpai too, that's fine. In return, I could call Takamine-kun 'Mineo-kun'..."
"Eli-senpai!"
"Yes!?"
"Eli-senpai!"
"What is it?"
"Eli-senpai!"
"Takamine-kun... Why do I feel like you're intentionally teasing me for fun right now!? I'm actually feeling quite frustrated at the moment!"
In reality, many girls act cold because they are too embarrassed to show their weak side in front of people they know.
On the internet, however, most people are willing to pour out the uncomfortable words they can't say to real-life friends to an online friend they share a good bond with!
Take Ayase Eli, for example. She enjoyed high popularity at school and always presented an intellectual, rational, and composed side to others.
But when facing Takamine Mineo, a good friend she had known for several years, she didn't maintain that icy demeanor from her daily life!
Therefore, when chatting with Mineo, Ayase Eli's heart would shed the cold mask of the Student Council President and she would become just like any other normal girl!
"Takamine-kun, you suddenly looked for me to chat, it couldn't be just to tease me for your own amusement, right?"
"How could that be? I really like Eli-senpai, there's no way I'd tease you just for fun!"
Seeing the message from Mineo, a faint blush appeared on Ayase Eli's fair face. She still remembered vividly when she first became close friends with Takamine Mineo and how he used to bully her.
After all, Takamine-kun was a "bad person" who could shout embarrassing things like "Ayase Eli-senpai is my wife!" without any hesitation!
"Takamine-kun, I'm really upset right now! I don't understand why the Chairwoman won't agree to let me do recruitment propaganda under the Student Council's name!"
"Does the Chairwoman want to see the school forcibly disbanded with her own eyes?"
"How could that be! President, let me tell you, I believe the Chairwoman's feelings for the school are definitely no less than anyone else's."
"Then why does she still refuse to agree with me..."
"Maybe it's because the Chairwoman cherishes you very much..."
"The Chairwoman... she... cherishes me?"
Looking at the message from Takamine Mineo, a flicker of confusion appeared in Ayase Eli's eyes.
However, Takamine Mineo didn't provide a detailed explanation. Instead, he shifted the topic:
"I heard that in Tokyo over these last two years, it's become popular for every high school to form what they call a 'School Idol' group!"
"Since the Chairwoman and the Student Council can't think of a good solution in the short term, why not form a School Idol group? Try and see if you can use that to promote the school?"
"A School Idol group? Takamine-kun, why would you think of that!"
"It just came to me by chance. Since I know the Student Council President is amazing at dancing, I'm still hoping that one day I can enjoy your beautiful, heart-stirring performance!"
Ayase Eli was extremely skilled at dancing, and it was the one thing she felt most confident about!
But once, in a major competition, Ayase Eli had been unexpectedly eliminated, which resulted in a lingering wound in her heart.
She was eventually able to move past it because Mineo often comforted and guided her. More than once, Mineo had shouted in their messages that he wanted to see her dance—that he wanted to enjoy her beautiful movements and curves.
But every time, Ayase Eli would just grit her teeth and tell Mineo to enjoy it in his dreams!
Who would have thought that now, Takamine-kun would bring this up again!
Was this guy suggesting she become a School Idol just because he wanted to watch her dance?
