Chapter 171
Seeing the two newly arrived girls standing there in a daze, Tojo Nozomi stood up and spoke with a gentle smile.
"Are you two also here to see the performance?"
"You can look for a seat now; the show is about to begin."
"Right... Senpai!"
Hearing Tojo Nozomi's words, Hanayo and Rin quickly scouted for seats and sat down.
After that, Nozomi-chan turned to Eli.
"Eli-chi, let's sit down and watch the performance too."
"Mineo-kun is a guest, and as members of the Student Council, we should treat him well to show our school's hospitality."
"...."
Hearing Tojo Nozomi's remark, Eli felt a jolt of surprise.
She stared at Nozomi in confusion, only to find Nozomi promptly ushering her into a chair.
Eli's current seating position was right next to Mineo, while Nozomi took the seat on Mineo's other side.
The beautiful Student Council President and the beautiful Vice President were now sitting to the left and right of Mineo.
This service was indeed quite hospitable.
Rin and Hanayo stole glances toward them every now and then. Even Maki would occasionally peek over with a focused, attentive gaze.
Sitting beside Mineo, Eli felt incredibly nervous.
She was still angry with Mineo and hadn't made peace with this person yet.
How could she be sitting right next to him like this!
Nozomi-chan, why did you have to show up at a time like this.
She hadn't even heard an explanation from this guy yet. The complex expression on Eli's face didn't escape Nozomi's notice.
Covering her mouth, Nozomi let out a soft, secret giggle, and then the stage lights finally flickered to life.
Standing behind the curtain, Honoka, Umi, and Kotori tightly held their teammates' hands.
At this moment, the three young girls felt immensely nervous.
"In a moment... it's starting in just a moment!"
"I wonder... I wonder how many people are in the audience...."
"Is Mineo-oniichan already out there?"
"Everyone, let's keep our spirits up. We've made it this far, so we have to show the results of all our hard work to everyone..."
The three girls encouraged one another. As the curtains slowly drew back, the view of the full assembly hall finally appeared before their eyes.
The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.
In the vast hall, the audience members sitting there turned out to be only a handful of people.
Student Council President Eli Ayase.
Vice President Nozomi.
First-year students Maki, Rin, Hanayo...
Seeing that all the spectators before them were people they had invited themselves, Honoka and the others froze in place.
"How can this be!"
In an instant, a sense of disappointment and an indescribable dissatisfaction welled up in Honoka and the others' hearts.
Minami Kotori wiped the corners of her eyes, then forced a sweet smile. She looked at Honoka and Umi, speaking softly.
"This is quite a lot already, isn't it?"
"This is the debut performance of our group μ's (Muse). Mineo-oniichan, the Student Council President, and the others are supporting us, aren't they?"
"Come on, let's perform together."
"No matter what happens, we should feel happy today."
"Yeah, what Kotori said is right. Umi, let the three of us fight together!"
"For the sake of this moment today, haven't we worked hard for a long time?"
"Our group μ's will surely succeed."
As the music began to swell, Kotori and the others finally launched into a passionate performance!
Three beautiful silhouettes danced with enthusiasm upon the stage.
The soft singing voices also traveled through the speaker equipment, slowly spreading throughout the venue.
At this moment, an unusual spark flickered in Nozomi's eyes.
"They really are wonderful. Eli-chi, what do you think?"
Hearing Nozomi's voice, Eli remained silent.
As for Mineo, while enjoying the performance of the three, he was also paying attention to his Live Room.
Alice: "****** (Mineo, you actually went out to find pretty girls to play with!)"
Alice: "****** (After you get back, I'm definitely going to give you a harsh lesson!!!)"
Saitama: "Even though I don't usually pay much attention to shows like this, the dancing of these three girls is actually quite good. And their singing voices are very touching...."
Toriko: "These three little girls are too beautiful and cute! Mineo-kun, I'm seriously jealous of you right now. Why didn't you invite me to watch live at the scene? I would definitely be clapping very loudly!"
Izumi Sagiri: "Mineo-oniichan, these three onee-chans are really pretty. Can they add me as a friend? I want to have a private video call with them...."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "The singing voice is very pleasant to the ear, and the lyrics are beautifully written, though it sounds like they were adapted from poetry. Is this the original work of those three girls?"
Eri (Sawamura): "******* (Fanservice, I want fanservice! Mineo-kun, hurry up and give me fanservice!!!)"
Rimuru: "So jealous of Mineo-kun. I want to get to know girls that pretty too...."
Suzuki Satoru: "The music is very nice to listen to, and the performance of those three girls is also exceptional. Why doesn't Mineo-kun's Live Room have a flower-sending feature? I want to give them some flowers."
Daidouji Tomoyo: "Oh my, these three girls are so cute. It turns out that girls as cute as Sakura really do exist in this world. I'm going to look for a camera right now; I want to record their entire performance and enjoy it slowly later....."
Sakurajima Mai: "Although it hasn't reached professional standards yet, for high school students, being able to perform at this level is already quite remarkable. Mineo-kun has found three very talented individuals."
Seeing Mineo staring at his phone, Nozomi leaned over with curiosity.
"Eh?? Mineo-kun is still running a Live Stream?"
"It seems Mineo-kun has quite a lot of friends...."
