Chapter 298

At this moment, her eyes were bright, her Hands, and she looked at him with a playful gaze, like a policeman who had cornered a criminal.

"Or perhaps you prefer the title 'Miss Ghost'?"

Ogura Asahi chuckled, flashing a sweet smile, and switched into acting mode. "You guys are really quick, aren't you? This piece is less than two minutes long, and I only played it twice."

"Well, as soon as we heard the sound, we made an excuse to come out. We've been running non-stop to find you."

Mizutake Ran explained why they were able to arrive so quickly.

"Well, that's what I mean. Running like this all the time has really taken a toll on my energy!"

Beside her, a girl with light brown hair and eyes, about the same height as her, and with a cute and ordinary temperament, leaned on her knees and spoke, slightly out of breath.

Rather, apart from the long-haired girl with red hair and blue eyes, the other five people were all about the same height.

Ogura Asahi's gaze fell on the girl with brown hair. Emmm... even the Student Council President has been mobilized to capture him?

"Well, we finally found it! It wasn't for nothing that Tsugu, worked so hard!"

Another girl with blue eyes and silver-gray hair spoke at half the speed of a normal person.

Although the speaking speed is slow, it sounds strangely catchy and addictive...

[Note: The Romanized name of Hazawa Tsugumi is Hazawa Tsugumi, but people around her usually just call her by the first part of her name, Tsugu, which is transliterated as "Tsugu" (Cigu).]

"Moca, Ba, block the gate."

The commander at the front Mizutake Ran, gave the order.

"Understand"

"Okay!"

The silver-gray-haired Aoba Mocha and the tallest red-haired girl—whom he had previously impersonated, Udagawa Ban —stood side by side in front of the rooftop door, preventing him from escaping.

"..."

Ogura Asahi stared intently at the five-person search team, sensing that things might be going to go wrong today.

"I heard from the teacher that you run very fast, so just in case... Luckily you chose the rooftop today, that's great!"

Mizutake Ran showed a confident smile.

"After all, the rooftop is our exclusive territory! Nobody knows this place better than us!"

The last of the five, a girl with pink hair, her long hair divided into two sections and tied into thick braids on either side, added to what she had said.

Although he was only in third grade, he exuded an air of innocence and silliness, making him perfect as a toy... no, I mean, perfect as someone to be teased.

"Hiyori Mari, you'll come with me and Tsugu to capture her later."

"Clear!"

Uehara Himari blinked one eye, smiled, and saluted.

"What a grand display..."

Ogura Asahi sighed, "I didn't expect that all the members of Afterglow would come just to catch me. What are we going to do about class?"

[Note: The five members of Afterglow are Sunset Red Mizutake Ran (vocals and guitar, flower arrangement artist), Aoba Mocha (guitar), Uehara Himari (Bass), Udagawa Ban (drummer, and also Roselia Udagawa Ako's older sister), Hazawa Tsugumi (Keyboardist, she owns Cafe)]

"I really don't want to hear that kind of question from you, Miss Elf."

Mizutake Ran sighed, "If you hadn't impersonated Ba and the teacher hadn't told us about it, we might not have come to arrest you so quickly."

"That's troublesome. I originally intended to lure you out through that." Ogura Asahi's red eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled calmly without making a sound.

"Haha... but after a while, the teacher will probably ask the Student Council to handle it."

Hazawa Tsugumi a wry smile.

"By the way, which class are you in? Are you a transfer student? I've never seen you before. What about you?"

Aoba Mocha stared at him curiously.

"Indeed, with such beauty, how could we not know if we had spent three years together?"

Udagawa Ban rested his chin on his hand, tilting his head in confusion.

"Indeed~ I haven't seen many people with such a beautiful appearance... Um, Miss Ghost! How do you usually take care of your skin?"

Uehara Himari clenched her Hands, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"More than that, I'd like to know the name of that piece of music we just heard."

Mizutake Ran was lost in thought, pondering the melody she had just heard.

"After I tell you, will you let me go?"

He tried to negotiate with them.

"That's a different matter."

Mizutake Ran shook her head. Wife D} 2% scattered spirit silk long umbrella si|

"I see, that's a shame. But I'm still going to tell you that the song you just heard was called <Hibiki! Euphonium>."

"Ah~ speaking of which, the instrument you're holding is also Euphonium, right?"

"That's right."

"You're really amazing! Were you the one who performed the previous few times? You used so many instruments!"

Udagawa Ban's eyes widened slightly in astonishment.

"Is that so?"

"Wow, that's amazing! I thought it was a team of several people doing it together!"

"You're really amazing, and your technique is superb, but I don't understand why you're playing during class time?"

Hazawa Tsugumi tapped her cheek with her fingertip. "Is it to attract attention and find his bandmates?"

"It's not a complicated reason, it's just a feeling, I just wanted to give it a try."

"So,"

Mizutake Ran took a step forward. "So, since we're in such a mood, it's okay if we grab you today, right?"

"Be good, Miss Elf! It's alright~ At most you'll just have to write a self-criticism!"

Uehara Himari clenched her Hands loosely and said with a grin.

"That's you guys. If I get caught, it'll be considered trespassing..." Ogura Asahi frowned helplessly.

Although he could defeat them and simply charge away, he wasn't really a bad guy, and they weren't bosses that needed to be defeated.

"I understand. Before you arrest me, could we exchange contact information?"

He took out his phone and gestured with a smile.

"Eh? Contact information?"

Mizutake Ran's expression was subtle. "Are you perhaps a fan of ours? You wouldn't have done this on purpose just for this reason, would you?"

"Well, who knows?"

"But no, we're not familiar with each other yet, I can't give you my contact information so soon."

She shook her head and refused.

"Hey... how about adding this?"

Ogura Asahi pulled out her signature weapon— Asahi's Special Snacks— from the backpack next to her instrument case.

Ta-da! The delicious desserts I made myself, and I'm not exaggerating, they really are amazing!

There wasn't a single book in the backpack, but it was still bulging because it was full of these combat weapons.

"Ha... Do you think I'm the kind of person who would get close to a criminal over a mere snack? Don't underestimate me."

Wow~ It looks delicious~

"Moca?"

Mizutake Ran looked at her childhood friend in astonishment—although all five of them were childhood friends.

"Indeed! It looks incredibly high-class and delicious, just like a royal physician's!"

"Hiyori Mari!"

"It's okay, right? She doesn't seem like a bad person. I think it should be fine."

Aoba Mocha suggested, "How about we have Hiyori Mari exchange our contact information for snacks?"

Sulfur Art Wife (Part 1) 2 Ba Si August * Yi "Yes, yes... Hey? Me?!"

Uehara Himari was halfway through her sentence when she pointed at herself and stared at her in astonishment.

"What does it matter? You want to eat it anyway, right?"

"Although, although that is indeed the case! But...!"

She still couldn't let it go.

After watching their interaction for a while, Ogura Asahi chuckled, finding it amusing. "My name Ogura Asahi, I'm not a bad person, just a suspicious one at most!"

"This is bad enough, isn't it?"

Udagawa Ban was dumbfounded. "Someone actually said they were suspicious...?"

"There's nothing we can do; it's the truth."

He looked at Uehara Himari: "Well, even if you don't want to trade with me, I'd be happy to give you these."

"Miss Hiyori Mari, could you come and help me distribute these?"

"Eh? Ah, okay!"

After a few seconds of hesitation, Uehara Himari ran forward and took the ten small plastic boxes he offered.

After returning to their own camp, they gave two to each of the other four people.

"This... could it be poisonous?"

Udagawa Ban cautiously examined the small box. "It's like they poison us and then sneak away—that's how it's done in anime and TV dramas."

"Very likely."

Mizutake Ran nodded in agreement.

"Well then, how about Hiyori Mari try it first? What do you think?"

"That's a good idea."

Let's do it this way.

"It's me again?!"

But one person cannot defy the will of the masses. With tears in her eyes and trembling, Uehara Himari opened the lid of the dessert and began to "test the poison" for everyone.

"Ah~ Mom and Dad~ Sister~ Your unfilial daughter, Hiyori Mari, may never see you again after today..."

"If anything really happens to me, you must hold Lan, Moca, and Ba accountable!"

"Awoom!"

After saying that, she took a big, powerful bite into the soft, fragrant little cake!

Chapter 333 I leaped from the rooftop!

"How does it taste?"

Mizutake Ran asked the question.

"Hey? Shouldn't we be asking if it's poisonous?"

Hazawa Tsugumi's comment.

"Oh, so, Hiyori Mari, do you feel any discomfort anywhere in your body?"

"..."

Uehara Himari did not answer, as if she hadn't heard, and quietly chewed the food in her mouth.

"Hiyori Mari?"

After swallowing the cake, her eyes glazed over, and she murmured to herself, "So delicious..."
