…Though that’s because I haven’t told Nakagawa-san what my name is yet.

…I’ve decided. If Nakagawa-san asks me, I’ll call myself Kita Kita!

As Kita was thinking this, something suddenly filled his vision.

Wow! What the hell?

"Miss Lead Singer!"

"Can you let me try that song just now?"

Hikawa Hina looked at Kita Ikuyo who was frightened in front of her, her eyes sparkling with stars, and she seemed eager to try.

"Wait, Hina!"

At this time, Hikawa Sayo realized that Hikawa Hina, who was just behind her but suddenly disappeared, spoke angrily.

"I'm so sorry, Hina is always like this..."

She quickly quickened her pace and then, with a frosty face, she lifted up the collar of Hikawa Hina as if she was lifting a cat, and pulled the reluctant Hina away.

"Really, sis! You were watching this more seriously than I was just now!"

Perhaps because she was suddenly pulled away, Hikawa Hina looked very angry.

But at this time, it was Miss Yamada, who usually spoke the least, who spoke softly.

"…Hina-san?"

Hina, who was staring at Hikawa Sayo, heard the voice, blinked slightly, and subconsciously looked towards Miss Yamada's position.

"Oh, it's Ryo-san!"

Since they were acquaintances, naturally they could be a little more open-minded. Hina immediately turned around and made a little face at Saya, which made Saya's face even darker.

"I didn't expect such a coincidence that I could run into Liang here~"

Yamada Ryo nodded slightly and replied calmly: "I'm going on a road show with the band."

For Ms. Yamada, who often pays attention to various trends in the band world, collects second-hand CDs, and even specifically searches for some small music charts in Saudi Arabia, knowing Hikawa Hina is not a surprising thing.

For Miss Hina, it is normal to know a well-known bassist in Shimokitazawa.

However, the next moment, Hikawa Hina's casual words made the atmosphere slightly stagnant.

"Ryo, how long do you plan to quit this time?"

So nonchalant, as if such a thing was as insignificant and unimportant as [did you eat French fries in the evening?].

Ichichi Hongxia, who had been silent at first, just bit her lips lightly and lowered her head a little.

Chapter 1 [Extra] Miss Genjumaki’s Little Love (two in one).

smile.

You should smile.

But, for some reason, when I met him, I couldn't laugh properly.

Because I saw something on the internet before that if you show your teeth when you smile, you will look silly.

So, I don’t want him to think I’m a silly girl.

Moreover, it was also the first time that I felt what it felt like to be patient.

Resist the urge.

Endure the longing.

Enduring...my own silly smile like that of an idiot.

I couldn't even pronounce his name.

Because if I do that, I will be so happy that even I can't understand it.

There will be a slight heat on the face.

I want to run away...but I also want to stick close to you.

Since when did it become like this?

I gently placed my hand on my heart and slowly recalled the past.

Maybe it's because every time before I see him, I subconsciously fix my hair?

Or is it that every time you are having fun, you will unconsciously think of him?

Or maybe it's when you feel uncomfortable seeing him with other girls?

Thinking of this, I became even more confused, and the image of Misaki and him appeared in my mind unconsciously.

Misaki... Ever since Hanasakigawa and Haneda became more and more connected, Misaki would always be seen going to Haneda's student council to get letters for various reasons.

Cultural festivals, community exchanges, various ceremonial activities...

At first, actually... I didn’t think there was anything strange.

As long as Misaki, Shin, and everyone else continue to accompany me, I will be very happy.

But it is this kind of thing that is bothering me now.

I knew from the beginning that Shin and Misaki had a good relationship.

I forgot when this started, but because the student union was very busy during that period, after Shin helped Tsugumi deal with the student union's official business in Hanaoka, he came to Hanasakigawa to visit everyone in the name of exchange work.

Normally, Shin would go talk to Riki, Hailing, and Hatsuka first, and then he would come to the student council office to help Misaki and Yusaki work together.

However, because Kasumi was busy with her live show during that time, Arisaki was often not in the office.

Therefore, it is Misaki who will be working with Shin here.

Compared to Misaki who always has a poker face and seems a little cold, Shin always has a smile on his face and seems to be always happy.

Xin doesn't seem to like Misaki's poker face, and is always trying to make Misaki laugh with some jokes, although he fails more often than not.

However, with my help, sometimes I can achieve some success.

It seems...it started at this time, right?

So, at that time, Shin and I hit it off and went to the first [Operation Meeting to Make Misaki Laugh] together.

Now, I have held such meetings many times with letters in hand.

In the beginning, we would record the number of meetings... but one time we both forgot about it, so now we don’t have it anymore.

As for Misaki, there was nothing she could do about us and she could only wait patiently for us to [attack] together every day.

However, ever since Nobu came to help, Misaki and Arisaki are always able to finish their daily work quickly.

So, although Misaki always seemed to be complaining about something, every day she would pour a cup of warm barley tea for Nobu before Nobu came.

Gradually, I held the [Operation Meeting to Make Misaki Laugh] with her every day, and the days when I could make Misaki laugh gradually increased. The highest record was that I could make Misaki laugh every day for a whole week!

Every time Misaki laughed, she would immediately pretend nothing happened, gently clear her throat and turn her head away, and said in a somewhat serious tone: "... Let's try to talk about work."

Through the work of Shin and Misaki, Shin and I gradually became more familiar with each other... The relationship between Misaki and Shin also gradually improved.

A little later, Misaki suddenly took out a paulownia mug and used it as a cup to entertain Xin. She even reserved a place for Xin in the student union office.

Since there was no extra space, Misaki actually divided her position in half and gave the other half to Shin.

There wasn't a lot of room, and Misaki and Shin were almost shoulder to shoulder.

At that time, I didn’t really think too much about it and just continued living my life as usual.

However, as we had more and more "victories" like making Misaki laugh, I felt that Misaki was becoming a little strange.

Before, whether the letter had arrived or not, Misaki would silently process the documents there. Many times, by the time the letter arrived, the documents had already been processed almost completely.

But now it's different.

Now, if Misaki's letter arrives a little late, she will sometimes put down the documents and stare at the door of the student union in a daze, not knowing what she is thinking.

Also, sometimes, even though Shin and I didn't initiate an [attack], Misaki would suddenly smile to herself for some reason, but after we noticed her, she would immediately return to her indifferent look.

At that time, I still couldn’t understand why.

Later, one time, because Shin and I had talked about all the funny things I could think of at the moment, I still couldn't find any new topics to make Misaki laugh.

So, after finishing the student union work that day, I dragged Xin to Michelle Park, hoping to find some interesting topics.

It’s really fun to visit the park with Xin.

Before this, I never found haunted houses scary or interesting.

However, Xin would tell me scary ghost stories in a grim tone.

I wasn’t scared at first… but in that dark haunted house, my heart started beating wildly for the first time. Then I realized what a haunted house felt like… it was super novel.

I would also blindfold myself with Xin and compete to see who can shoot more accurately, and hang out together on the pirate ship [Smile]...

It’s super fun to be on the pirate ship. You’re just sitting, but when you fall down, the feeling of weightlessness makes me feel itchy all over, and I can’t help but laugh like a fool.

This is not the first time I’ve played with pirate ships and the like… But Xin’s smiling face is super silly, even sillier than mine, and I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw it.

There are also rotating tea cups.

Every time, I will spin the spinning teacup super fast ~ this way it will be super fun!

I also specifically told Xin that when the teacup was spinning, he must look closely at my face so that he wouldn't feel dizzy.

As a result, Xin, who refused to believe in evil, insisted on seeing the scenery behind. When he finally got off the rotating teacup, his lips were so white and his legs were trembling...super cute.

...That day, I played with Xin for a long time, and when I realized it, it was time for Xin to go home.

I was extremely happy and had a blast. Even when I was lying in bed at night, as soon as I closed my eyes, I could see every moment that Xin and I spent in paradise.

The next day, although I didn't realize it,... I seemed to have joined the ranks of those waiting for the letter.

Then, it was the same again. After Misaki and Shin finished their work, I took Shin with me to Michelle Land to play the facilities that Shin and I had never played together before.

I am happy every day on days like this.

However, these days seemed to be so happy that I almost forgot that my original goal was to provide material for the "Funny Misaki Operation Meeting".

Almost every day, after I stepped into the Student Union office, I would silently look forward to when the letter would arrive. From time to time, I would stare at the door of the Student Union, looking forward to the letter arriving in the Student Union soon.

During that time, Shin and I traveled to all the fun places in Tokyo just for that kind of [tactical meeting].

There are places I have seen, and there are places I have never heard of.

Xin and I learned many kinds of card games, went to many board game stores together, and brought a lot of pebbles to the beach to skip on the water.

Sometimes the waves are so big that the thrown stones will be directly hit under the water by the waves, making it impossible to hit them.

We also ate a lot of snacks together, many strange snacks and dishes.

There's sweet squid, eel soda... and so much more.

On weekends, if Xin has time, I will go to some nearby cities with Xin to play for a day.

In addition, we also visit the Michelles in Michelle Park from time to time.

However, later on, I would quietly skip the rotating teacup, and even if Xin asked me about it curiously, I would just [Smile] and get away with it.

Because when the spinning teacup spins fast enough, you have to look at the person sitting opposite you as a reference to avoid feeling dizzy.

...But, it was then that I realized that if I knew that my face was being stared at so closely by Xin, my heart would beat faster and my face would feel a little hot.

As a result, even my own eyes couldn't focus properly on the letter in front of me.

Because, whenever I look into Shin's eyes, my gaze...will subconsciously want to escape, but I don't understand why.

The result is that the person who feels dizzy on the spinning teacup becomes yourself.

Originally... everything was like this.

...But, one day later, when I was happily planning to take Xin out to play, Xin suddenly told me that after work, he had something to do at home and could not accompany me to the [Operation Meeting].

Misaki also said that she had to go to cram school after school, so she didn't have time to accompany me.

I didn’t take that kind of thing seriously, because it was common for me to have fun on my own.

So, after saying goodbye to Nobu and Misaki, I went to Michelle Land just like I always did, but this time I was alone.
