Chapter 162
No, you're taking this opportunity to insult me, aren't you?
Who says being good at cooking automatically makes Feminine Charm? That's prejudice!
"Amu, Amu!" Sumiida Mana finished the last bit, licked her fingertips, and smiled as she focused her gaze on the remaining box.
"So, these are just as delicious? I won't be polite!"
She picked up another box and eagerly opened it.
"Don't eat too much, we have rehearsal later," Miyako Shizuka advised.
"That's precisely because we need to practice hard, we need to replenish our energy!"
"Mo, then eat slowly, don't choke."
Hi~
A dozen minutes later,
Sumiida Mana patted her slightly protruding belly and stood up contentedly. "I'm full! Let's go practice!"
Miyako Shizuka didn't say anything, but got up and followed.
"Are we already rehearsing?" Sakurakoji Talent asked.
"Hmm, would you like to come and take a look?" Miyako Shizuka asked softly.
"Won't this disturb you?"
"No way! To repay your gift, you can request a song during practice later! Sumimi will perform it for you live!" Sumiida Mana pulled Miyako Shizuka, and the two of them struck a pose for him with beaming smiles.
"That's really great..."
The thought of two popular idols performing for him privately was quite exciting, even for him, as it was his first time experiencing something like this.
"Hehe, right?"
"Then let's not delay, let me change my clothes and then we'll go over."
"Mmm, okay... um?" Halfway through her reply, Sakurakoji Talent realized something was amiss and glanced at Miyako Shizuka. "Change clothes?"
"Well, because I'm wearing my school uniform, I can't exactly wear this while practicing." Miyako Shizuka tilted her head and gestured with her arms to indicate the clothes she was wearing.
This is understandable; it's impossible to practice and rehearse in school uniforms. Even disregarding sweating and ease of movement, it would look a bit odd.
Realizing what had happened, he felt a little thirsty and swallowed hard. "You're right... then you can change it."
Although it wasn't his first time experiencing it, he was still somewhat uneasy, perhaps because his conscience hadn't been completely extinguished.
The last time I saw a girl change clothes was when Shiina Mahiru in front of him.
This time it was the opposite; they changed from school uniforms to other clothes...
The location for changing clothes is also obvious, since the room is called the lounge.
Sumiida Mana locked the door for her, and Miyako Shizuka took out her practice clothes that she had left there. In front of the two of them, she deftly took off her school uniform without feeling embarrassed at all.
Rustling sounds...
Soon, she was left with only two pieces of underwear.
Her flawless white skin and golden hair shone brightly under the bright white light, and her beautiful figure without an ounce of excess fat was dazzling to him.
Although that old scoundrel Toyokawa himself is nothing special, his daughter and granddaughter are both exceptionally beautiful, and their fertility is truly remarkable.
He was subconsciously drawn to the work of art-like scenery for a few seconds as a sign of respect, before politely shifting his gaze to the side.
In this state, it would be strange to turn his head away or keep it down, so he could only try not to look directly at her, letting her perfect body dance in his peripheral vision.
Miyako Shizuka's movements were fluid; a minute later, she finished changing, checked herself in the mirror, and after confirming everything was alright, called to the two, "Okay, let's go."
"Um!"
"Um..."
"What's wrong, Asahi-chan? You seem a little listless."
No, it's nothing.
"Really? That's good."
Following behind the two, he and they changed locations and went to another practice room.
The two members of the duo first did some light warm-up exercises, then Sumiida Mana asked, bouncing around, "So! Asahi-chan, what song do you want to hear? Any song we know is fine with me!"
After a short period of adjustment, Sakurakoji Talent regained his composure and recovered from the unexpected incident.
Without hesitation, he answered, "Then let's go with <Here, the world!>."
"Haha, it really is this song?" Sumiida Mana seemed to have expected it, a dry laugh mixed with relief. "I know, although Little Shizuka and I are almost sick of singing this song, but since it's your request, Asahi-chan Little Shizuka?"
She looked at Miyako Shizuka, Miyako Shizuka also seemed helpless. "I understand."
The two turned on the stereo, walked to the center, and assumed the starting stance they had rehearsed countless times.
Soon, music began to play, and the two began to dance like swans, radiant and exceptionally graceful.
"Here the world"
"It's the rhythm of the rhythm, and it's the sound of the sound (our heartbeats are connected to a beat, and a new song is born)"
"Here the world"
"The Mirai is bright and clear, and the Mirai is so bright that I walk briskly on the streets."
"どこくの? (Where are you going?)"
"..."
The two singers' pleasant voices, combined with the upbeat and cheerful rhythm, make you want to move your body to the beat.
The music is sweet yet not cliché, cheerful yet not silly, leaving a lasting impression after just one listen.
Sakurakoji Talent watched the two dance up close, his eardrums rejoicing at the vibrations in the air, feeling that coming today was definitely worthwhile.
Four minutes later, the song gradually came to an end.
"..."
"There is no doubt about the Mirai"Mirai
"Kimi to ne bless the world" (Let's bless the world together)
After the final Vibrato, the two stopped making any sound or moving.
After closing their eyes and contemplating for a few seconds, they all looked at him and asked, "How was it?"
"That was absolutely fantastic!" He clapped enthusiastically, praising the two performers with a smile.
"As expected of Shizuka and Mana, they really are different from popular idols!"
"I'm getting a little embarrassed by your compliments." Miyako Shizuka touched her face shyly.
"Yay~ I got praised by Asahi-chan!" Sumiida Mana's movements and expression remained cheerful, radiating energy.
"Would you like to hear some other songs?"
"Well..." He didn't stand on ceremony with them and ordered another song. He couldn't waste such a rare opportunity.
"<Sweet Escape>"

P. S.: Um, I only wrote two chapters today again. As usual, I'll see if I can make up for it tomorrow~ Sorry!
Volume 1: The Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 207 Credit Score Too Low
"At the comet's stop tonight" (Tonight, at the comet's bus stop)
"I'll be waiting at zero o'clock on time"
"Wish you can take me to the moon (I hope you can take me to the moon occasionally)"
"..."
"..."
"のベルベットで,みはおやすみ (Xinle is like velvet, letting worries sleep for the time being)"
"またねescape~(See you next time on your escape trip~)"
Compared to "Here, the World!", "Sweet Escape" is shorter, but it still maintains their unique style. A little over three minutes later, their sweet and ethereal voices faded into the background.
After shamelessly requesting two more songs, Sakurakoji Talent felt it was about time to leave.
Although it's not that I don't want to continue watching, it wouldn't be good to disturb their practice, commercial performances, and recordings.
"Is Little Asahi leaving now?"
"Hey~ I'd be so sorry to bother you any longer, Shizuka and Mana's performance today was fantastic, we really saw some great stuff."
"Hehe~ It would be wonderful if you could like it." Miyako Shizuka covered her mouth and chuckled, then looked at him, "Then I'll walk you downstairs."
"No need, you and Mana can continue rehearsing. I remember the route."
"Well... see you next time then—though I don't know when." She chuckled and teased him at the end.
"I'm speechless... Well then, I'll be going." He waved and said to the other person, "Bye-bye, Ms. Mana!"
"Oh! Bye-bye~ Come play again next time!" Sumiida Mana put her Hands next to her face and gave a bright smile, her energy undiminished.
He truly deserves to be called a popular idol. After singing, dancing, and rapping for so long, he didn't show any signs of fatigue. His stamina is amazing.
When he saw Yukino Shita Hiyori's sunny smile at that moment, he subconsciously thought of Haruno Yukinoshita. However, Sumiida Mana's smile Yukino Shita Hiyori genuine, which made him uncomfortable, while hers was not—even if there was an element of acting, it didn't feel fake or unpleasant.
Next time, maybe I should talk to Yukino Shita Hiyori and ask her to come and learn from her, to see how a professional idol "deceives" people with a mask.
"I'll bring more gifts next time."
"Wow! I can't wait! Why don't you come over tomorrow, Asahi-chan ~!" Sumiida Mana cupped her face, her bright eyes sparkling.
"Hehe~ See you next time." With a slight chuckle, emphasizing his carefully crafted persona, he bowed slightly and left the practice room.
Following the route he remembered, he headed towards the elevator where he had started.
She was even approached by people from the agency who asked which group she belonged to, whether she was interested in joining them, or forming a new girl group, etc., but she politely declined them all.
Stepping out of the building, he looked around and spotted a familiar car model on the roadside. He draped his backpack over his shoulder and walked over slowly.
He was going to Starry later, so he naturally needed to call a car to change his clothes.
Half an hour later,
He got out of the car at the usual location and entered the Shimokitazawa area.
Although he went to "Win-Wing Production" in the middle, he left school early and it's not late now, so it's about the same time as his usual work hours.
Good morning!
Pushing open the door to the familiar studio, a blast of cool air enveloped him, instantly lowering the temperature by several degrees compared to outside. No wonder Bocchi had called this place the Demon Realm when he first saw it.
Well, it will have a built-in heating function when it gets crowded and lively later on.
Good morning~ X 2
PA and Ichiji Hoshika responded using the same words.
After chatting with them for a few minutes, he went to the kitchen and showcased his culinary skills as a pastry chef in the small space.
The kitchen in the Starry was actually quite small at first. Although it was expanded a little later, it was still rather cramped, and the machinery took up a lot of space.
But since it's not a proper bakery and they only sell a few kinds of things, it doesn't really matter.
As usual, he prepared the pastries, solidified the puddings and jelly, and prepared the parfaits in advance and put them in the freezer. While waiting for them to bake, Ichiji Nijika and the others returned.
Actually, judging from the time, they should have been out of school long ago, but they probably knew there was nothing going on here, so they intentionally came a little late and wandered around outside.
"How wonderful, "Sakurakoji Talent thought enviously. "An ordinary high school student like me."
Although his life is good now, it's also nice to be like a normal high school student, going shopping, playing games, and competing to see who can eat the most after school...
"Good morning, everyone! I'm back!" Ichiji Nijika's energetic voice echoed throughout the underground hall.
"Good morning." Ichiji Hoshika turned around and glanced back, her voice as calm as water, with only a hint of warmth flashing deep in her eyes.
If you didn't know them, you'd probably think the sisters' relationship was just so-so.
