"It's great. Since I entered high school, no friends have come to play at home." Maki Nishikino's mother said with great relief, "I'm still a little worried."
It can be seen that Maki Nishikino's mother is also very concerned about Maki Nishikino's interpersonal relationships, but it is not about the relationship between men and women. She is only worried that Maki Nishikino will have no friends after he enters high school.
Click, the sound of the door opening came from outside the room.
"I'm back."
Maki Nishikino After changing into indoor slippers, he saw another pair of shoes, and his mother was also at the door of the living room.
"Is anyone here?"
Maki Nishikino walked to the door of the living room, and her mother smiled and took a step away.
"Huh?" Maki Nishikino looked at Hanayo Koizumi in surprise.
"Hello... hello."
"I'm going to make tea." After saying that, Maki Nishikino's mother left the living room.
"Sorry for being so sudden."
"What's the matter?" Maki Nishikino sat on the sofa chair opposite Hanayo Koizumi.
"This... fell to the ground." Hanayo Koizumi took out the student handbook that Maki Nishikino dropped at school from his school bag, "Is it... the one belonging to classmate Nishikino?"
Maki Nishikino found the student handbook and turned to the first page. It seems that this handbook is indeed his.
"Why, why did you pick it up?"
"I'm sorry..." Hanayo Koizumi apologized even though he didn't do anything.
"Why are you apologizing?" Maki Nishikino blinked and suddenly thought of something, "Thank you, thank you."
Then Maki Nishikino moved his eyes elsewhere.
"Have you seen μ's... promotional posters?"
"Huh?!" Maki Nishikino didn't expect that others would find out what he had done during that time, "I, how could I see... I don't know what you are talking about, maybe you have the wrong person."
"But, the student handbook was also dropped there." Hanayo Koizumi shifted his gaze to the bag outside Maki Nishikino's schoolbag.
"No... it's not." Maki Nishikino quickly stood up to explain, but his knee accidentally hit the corner of the table, "It's so... it hurts... uhhhhh~" Maki Nishikino lost his balance, fell back to his position, and even knocked down the sofa.
"Doesn't it matter?"
"No... it's okay." Maki Nishikino propped up his upper body, "Really, it's all because you said strange things." Seeing that Maki Nishikino also looked like this, Hanayo Koizumi couldn't help laughing.
"Stop laughing!"
Then, after restoring the mess they had just made, the two resumed their normal conversation.
"You said you want me to join School Idol?" Maki Nishikino picked up a cup of black tea and took a sip.
"Well, I always go to the music teacher after school because I really want to listen to classmate Nishikino's songs."
"My song?"
"Well, I like it so much that I want to keep listening to it, so..."
"Actually, I am." Maki Nishikino interrupted Hanayo Koizumi, "I have decided that if I want to go to university, I will take the medical exam."
"That's right."
"Huh..." Maki Nishikino exhaled a little helplessly, "So, that means my music life is over."
Maki Nishikino turned his head and looked at the ground in a daze for a while, then looked at Hanayo Koizumi "By the way, you."
"..."
"Actually, I really want to be an idol."
"Huh?" Even though he was said this, Hanayo Koizumi did not deny it as hurriedly as at noon. It was probably because of the influence of Rin Hoshizora.
"Didn't you watch that concert before that was very fascinating?"
"Huh? Nishikino classmate is also here."
"Ah... no, I just happened to be passing by." Maki Nishikino shook his hand and explained, "Just do it if you want to, and then I will cheer you up a little."
Encouraged by Maki Nishikino, Hanayo Koizumi was really moved.
"Thank you."
After visiting Maki Nishikino, it was already evening, and Hanayo Koizumi was walking on the asphalt road.
"It turns out that everyone has their own difficulties..."
First, Rin Hoshizora said that he is not like a girl as the reason why he cannot become an idol.
And Maki Nishikino is because he has to go to university to study medicine in the future, so he can't become an idol.
Supported by two people, he has his own ideals and an ordinary life.
The opportunity is right in front of you, whether you can seize it or not depends on your own choice.
Hanayo Koizumi came to a snack shop. Although the lights in the shop were dimmed, it was still in business.
"Well, let's buy some gifts for mom."
"Ah, welcome." A familiar voice came to Hanayo Koizumi's ears, and Hanayo Koizumi immediately recognized the voice.
"Ah, senior sister."
Honoka Kosaka, who was wearing work clothes in the store, was sorting out the items in the store. She also looked at Hanayo Koizumi in surprise.
"Welcome." Honoka Kosaka enthusiastically brought Hanayo Koizumi into the house.
"Excuse me..." She was just buying some gifts for her mother, but the "boss" of the store took her into her house.
"I still have to check the store. You go upstairs and wait for a while." Honoka Kosaka pointed to the second floor.
"Uh, yes..."
Hanayo Koizumi came to the corridor on the second floor. There were three rooms in the corridor, the first of which was directly ignored by Hanayo Koizumi.
"Well..." Hanayo Koizumi looked around. She didn't know which room was Honoka Kosaka's room.
Then, she set her sights on the door nearest to her.
"..." Kosaka Yukiho
"..." Hanayo Koizumi
At this time, Hanayo Koizumi realized that she had seen something she shouldn't have seen. She immediately closed the door and took a few steps back.
Hanayo Koizumi, who saw other people's private lives, looked a little panicked and looked into another room, where singing came from.
"La la la la la..."
"Oh~" Hanayo Koizumi shouted in surprise, but not loudly.
This time, Hanayo Koizumi did not open the door directly, but opened a crack in the door to peek inside.
"Thank you everyone~?"
Click, Hanayo Koizumi close the door gently.
Poof! Umi pushed the door open with one hand, and the door hit the wall at a 180-degree angle.
Whoa - the door behind Hanayo Koizumi also opened, and Kosaka Yukiho rushed out immediately.
"Did you see it?!"×2
"Uh... who, who, come to save me~~~!"
"Yes, I'm sorry..." Honoka Kosaka ran upstairs to rescue Hanayo Koizumi and squatted in front of Honoka Kosaka's room, lowering his head and apologizing.
"No, it's okay, I just want to apologize." Honoka smiled, then looked at Umi Sonoda, "But I didn't expect that Umi would also practice posing."
"Ah... then, that's because Honoka went to see the store and was gone." Umi Sonoda explained hurriedly with a red face.
"That... that."
Huh--just when Hanayo was about to say something, the sound of the door opening interrupted her.
"Excuse me~ Huh?" Minami Kotori who was at the door looked at Hanayo Koizumi who appeared here in surprise.
"Excuse me... for disturbing you."
"Eh? Are you really planning to become an idol?" Minami Kotori squatted beside Hanayo excitedly, looking at her expectantly.
"It's just that she happened to come to our store, so I wanted to take the opportunity to invite her to try..." Honoka Kosaka picked up a plate of steamed buns, "Homura's special product 'Homura steamed buns', referred to as 'sui steamed buns'. It's delicious~"
"Honoka, I brought the computer." Minami Kotori hid opposite Umi Sonoda and took out the laptop from the bag.
"Ah, thank you, I actually forgot about it at such an important moment."
Hanayo Koizumi was afraid that the snacks on the table would get in the way of Minami Kotori's computer, so he hurriedly picked them up.
"Ah, sorry."
"No... nothing."
"So, have you found the video?" Umi Sonoda asked.
"Although I haven't confirmed it yet, it should be here." Minami Kotori clicked on the bookmark.
"Yes!" Honoka Kosaka, who was watching from the side, exclaimed in surprise.
"Really?" Umi Sonoda also came over very excitedly.
The video of μ's last live event was playing on the screen.
"Who recorded the video?"
"There are so many plays. Could it be Teacher Senba?"
"No, I asked Brother Hunter and he said no."
Hanayo Koizumi also slowly moved to the computer to watch the video. He had already watched it live, but now he was watching the protagonists right in front of him along with the video, which made people feel more or less excited.
"There are so many people watching us. The dancing here is very good." Honoka Kosaka praised his dance steps.
"This is a place I have practiced many times. After I finished it, I wanted to put on a winning pose."
"Uh, sorry, Hanayo, can't you see clearly over there?"
It seemed that he didn't hear what Honoka Kosaka said. Hanayo Koizumi was watching the video on the computer very seriously.
Honoka Kosaka The three of them looked at each other and smiled at each other, as if they knew what each other was thinking.
"Koizumi-san!" Umi Sonoda called Hanayo Koizumi back with a higher pitch.
"Ah... yes!" Hanayo Koizumi immediately turned his attention to them.
"Aren't you serious about trying to be a school idol?" Honoka Kosaka asked enthusiastically.
"Huh?!" Hanayo Koizumi seemed to be startled when asked this question, "But... I'm not this material at all."
"I'm not used to performing in front of others, so I don't think I'm suitable to be an idol."
"I also often forget my words, and I'm not good at sports."
"I'm always clumsy too~"
The three talked about their shortcomings, but they still stood on the stage.
"But..." Although he learned their true situation, Hanayo Koizumi still didn't have enough confidence.
"If we were professional idols, we would have failed immediately." Minami Kotori stood up and glanced at Honoka Kosaka and Umi Sonoda.
"But if you are a school idol, you can have the feeling that you want to be an idol, and you can try to do it with your own goals in mind."
"I think that's school idol."
"So as long as you have an idea of what you want to do, just try to do it." Umi Sonoda and Honoka Kosaka agreed with this view.
"Although you are very strict about practice~" Although this sentence was said to Honoka Kosaka, it has an embarrassing feeling.
"Umi." Honoka Kosaka glanced at Umi Sonoda dissatisfied.
"Uh, I'm sorry..." Umi Sonoda also realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing. Seeing the two of them saying this, Minami Kotori couldn't help but smile.
Then, the three of them saw Hanayo Koizumi again.
"Think about it and tell me your answer."
"We will always be waiting for you."
