Chapter 64
In truth, Ayase Eli was a very lonely girl. From childhood to adulthood, the number of friends she had could be counted on one hand.
Fortunately, she still had her younger sister as someone to talk to, and after entering high school, she met Tojo Nozomi. That kept her from feeling completely isolated.
It was just that there were some inner thoughts she couldn't share with her little sister, and she also didn't want to show her vulnerable side to Nozomi.
Because of that, most of the time, Ayase Eli poured out her thoughts and frustrations to her online friend thousands of miles away, Takamine Mineo.
Deep in Ayase Eli's heart, she harbored a faint fondness for Mineo.
This was because sometimes the words Mineo spoke were truly able to touch the softest part of her soul.
Even the thorns in her heart were slowly worn away thanks to Mineo's comfort. Thus, for Ayase Eli, she truly cherished Mineo as a dear friend.
Even though she had never met him, and despite the distance between them spanning tens of thousands of kilometers across the sea.
However, what made Ayase Eli feel most helpless was that Mineo could be very serious one moment, only to constantly drop flirtatious comments the next.
If there was even a slight disagreement, this man would start teasing her. Back when he was comforting her, Mineo hadn't asked just once for her to send a selfie or a video of her dancing.
The problem was, the guy always emphasized that he wanted to "help find flaws" in Eli's dancing.
Hmph... this bad man. If you want to see my figure and long legs, just say so directly instead of looking for so many excuses.
Dream on all you want, I... I won't send those photos to you.
In reality, Ayase Eli herself didn't realize that when she chatted with Mineo, she seemed more like a lively young girl.
She had a youthful spirit, energy, cheerfulness, and even a cute side. More accurately, when dealing with Mineo, she was fully able to act without any burden.
At this moment, after seeing the message Mineo sent, Ayase Eli replied without hesitation:
"Takamine-kun, there's no way I'm becoming a school idol or anything like that!"
"You want to see me dance, right? If you're so brave, then come and see me. What's so interesting about watching through a phone? Wouldn't it be better to enjoy it in person?"
After all, this man shouted every day about wanting to come meet her in person to see her dance, yet he never actually dared to show up.
Because of that, Ayase Eli didn't mind saying it at all.
If you want to see me dance, then try coming here if you've got the guts!
What was the point of him constantly contacting her via phone when they were separated by thousands of miles!
"Eli-senpai, you said it yourself!"
"If I actually come, you won't look for some other excuse to refuse, right!?"
Seeing Mineo's reply, Ayase Eli was taken aback.
This guy... is he actually determined to come this time? No, no way. This big villain has the intention but lacks the courage; he's definitely just bluffing this time too.
Ayase Eli bit her thin lip gently, her jade-like fingertips dancing across the phone's keypad.
"If you dare to come, I'll dare to dance for you! I, Ayase Eli, always keep my promises!"
"The condition is that you actually be willing to show up!"
"Fine, fine, fine! I'll remember Eli-senpai's words!"
"Just you wait! After I get ready in the next few days, I'm definitely going to your place to see you in person! If you look for an excuse to refuse then, I'll bring a megaphone to your school gate and shout at the top of my lungs: 'Eli-senpai is my wife!'"
"Takamine, you..."
"You jerk..."
Ayase Eli gritted her teeth and glared intensely at her phone. This expression of hers left the group of Student Council staff around her feeling utterly confused.
Even the gentle Tojo Nozomi stared at Ayase Eli with a slightly questioning gaze.
"Eh? Is Eli... smiling?"
Tojo Nozomi and Eli were best friends with a very close relationship, so she understood her very well.
Even though Eli was gritting her teeth and looking a bit angry right now, Nozomi knew that Eli would only subconsciously show the expression of a teenage girl when her mood was actually very good.
For a moment, Tojo Nozomi felt curious. Who was Eli chatting with?
A rhythmic sound echoed as someone knocked on the door.
"Please, come in!"
Tojo Nozomi called out softly.
Then, she saw Honoka and the others walking through the large doors.
"President! Um, I'm Kosaka Honoka from the second year!"
"I... I would like to submit an application to establish a School Idol Club for our school!"
"Establish a School Idol Club??"
A strange flash of light crossed the beautiful eyes of the gentle Tojo Nozomi. And Eli, who was sitting beside her chatting with Mineo, also subconsciously turned her head toward the group of three.
