Chapter 127 The Big Plan

Ryoko Aoki left after telling her that she couldn't sing.

But the conversation she left behind continues to ferment like ale, and it’s not limited to just a few people on the rooftop.

The quarrel between Hirata Yui and Ryoko has basically spread to the entire first grade, plus some people have watched the Monster Musume idol group's performance.

"The final result is that the news that a female idol in Class B is retiring has been spread."

Uehara concluded unacceptably, "Aoki-san is clearly at the beginning of his career, how could he..."

Miyashiro Rei, who was standing next to him, flipped through the small book in her hand: "It can't be said that it's necessarily a bad thing, right? Her grades are also good. If she doesn't become an idol and concentrates on her studies, maybe she will achieve better development?"

"This is too cold-blooded."

"This is just a conclusion based on the career information of most female idols. And I heard from my own channels that someone saw Aoki-san unable to make a sound during singing practice in the morning. Maybe there is a hidden secret behind it that outsiders can't tell anyone about?"

Li Wu, who was caught between these two people, asked doubtfully: "...Why do you talk about gossip around me?"

It had been a day since Yui Hirata's sudden visit. As soon as they entered the classroom, the two of them attacked like predators surrounding their prey.

"What do you think of Brother Li Wu? Regarding Aoki-san's decision?"

As if looking for support, Masaki Uehara looked at him.

"It's a bit of a pity, after all, it's considered a compliment to her."

Li Wu said sincerely.

But this is all a personal choice after all.

He also thought about the reasons why Ryoko couldn't sing afterwards, such as whether it was because of the psychological pressure caused by the newcomer's sudden death, a curse, or the exchange of legs for her voice.

But when I think about it carefully, I feel that these reasons are too outrageous.

Soon, the person involved appeared at the door of the classroom, ending the topic, and the two people who gathered around brought up business.

"Actually, we are here to discuss the cultural festival with you."

Uehara reminded, "Do you still remember that the two of us were elected as executive members yesterday?"

As soon as I said that, I remembered.

Although Li Wu was distracted at the time, he did vaguely remember that at the end of the last class yesterday, the teacher, who had lost a lot of hair, walked into the classroom and announced preparations for the month-end cultural festival.

In addition to the club exhibition, each class will also have its own exhibition during the cultural festival of Inaba High School.

Because no one responded positively, the work of the organization finally fell randomly to two unlucky guys who were elected.

"Speaking of which, why did everyone unanimously recommend you?"

He asked suddenly after finishing his recollection.

"This... has a really reasonable reason. We organized everyone to participate in interesting activities in our spare time..."

Miyashiro Riryu's eyes were wandering for some reason. Fortunately, Li Wu didn't continue to ask further questions when he was stopped by Uehara next to him.

"Anyway, based on the results of the class survey and voting, we decided that this year's theme is stage play!"

he said confidently.

Li Wu waited for the next step.

"So, please let Li Wu star in the show!"

Miyashiro Riryu echoed.

"Wait a minute, how did this twist come about?"

Although he already had a premonition, he still asked subconsciously, and then received some unfortunate news.

"You were selected as the male protagonist by a high vote. This is proof of your popularity!"

"Yes, yes, I have already shed tears of envy and jealousy on behalf of the boys, please agree!"

The two of them sang and harmonized so smoothly that it made him frown, feeling that there must be a conspiracy here.

"What kind of stage play is it?"

Uehara interrupted: "Dragon Quest type!"

After listening to him talk about the general outline of the story, I surprisingly didn't find any pitfalls. It was just a story about the protagonist defeating the evil dragon.

"You want me to play the hero? That's not impossible."

I originally thought they would do some drama where a boy plays a princess and a girl plays a hero, but after confirming that they wouldn't do this, Li Wu agreed.

As a result, as soon as he let go of Miyashiro Riryu, he rushed back to his seat and shook Airisa next to him: "He agreed! So Airisa, please obey!"

Airisa, who was shaken out of the double image, cast a panicked look and shrank back: "But then everyone will see... It can't be done! I can't do it! I will faint on the stage. !”

"It doesn't matter! Most of the time you are hiding in the puppet suit! The audience can't see your face at all!"

Li Wu looked at Uehara: "Is it possible that Airisa also wants to participate? How did you convince her?"

Based on her personality, it might be difficult just to stand on the stage.

"Leave the job of persuasion to Miyashiro-san. By the way, Airisa plays the role of a dragon."

"Do you want me to use my sword against Airisa and then steal her treasure?"

For some reason, a considerable feeling of guilt came over me.

"It doesn't matter. According to the setting, this is a dragon that never robs, so there is no treasure to rob."

"Then isn't the hero the complete villain?!"

During the commotion, another voice broke in.

"Besides, I play the role of a princess."

Hoshikawa Aoi turned around with a smile, the pen in her hand flying up and down.

The content of this script...what exactly will it be?

Li Wu suddenly had the intention of going back on his word.

“In the end, our class’s cultural festival exhibition was decided.”

On the way home, the sky was still white.

Amidst the chirping of cicadas, Li Wu asked Guang next to him about the cultural festival, "What are Guang's classes planning to do?"

Today she picked up a tree branch that was as natural as a machete, so she was in a good mood to open a path ahead, and only turned her head when she heard the question.

"Give supplies made from flour to passing adventurers in exchange for money."

"The fried noodle shop feels good too. Do you want to help?"

“I took the initiative to take over the task of controlling product quality.”

"It turned out to be a taste test! But that's right. If I really let Hikaru cook it, it would probably be a different kind of tragedy."

She raised the branch and stabbed it at Li Wu, but the latter held it in his palm with his bare hands holding the blade.

"Xiao Wu's health is constantly decreasing."

She suddenly let go of the branch and spoke like a mechanical voice.

"Why?! I was obviously on guard!"

No one can resist refuting at this time, no one.

Guang pointed to the palm of his hand that was holding the branch: "That's where the blade is, and you've been punished by the equipment."

"This is too unreasonable..."

After handing the hilt of the branch sword back to Guang, she suddenly suggested: "Xiao Wu, do you want to go to the festival together?"

"Cultural festival? So sudden?"

"If you say no, use this holy sword to chop off Xiao Wu's head."

"Personal threat! I didn't even say no."

However, the cultural festival lasted for three days in total, and the first day was mostly a concentrated display of the clubs. Although I don’t know what plan Shiratori Mai came up with later, they probably didn’t have time.

The stage play prepared by Class B in the first year is expected to be performed in the morning of the next day.

"How about the next afternoon?"

Guang nodded, hesitated for a moment and then raised his right hand.

"Let's sign the contract!"

The sound of high-fives echoed along the roadside in midsummer, startling the dragonflies hovering low in the sky.

The boy leaned down slightly and covered the girl's slender fingers with his left hand.

"...Obviously when Xiao Wu was in the sixth grade of elementary school, he had to stand on his toes to do this."

Although he did as she asked, Hikari turned his head away unhappily.

"Your memory is wrong. I remember that I was almost as tall as you when I first came here a year ago."

Li Wu fabricated non-existent memories without changing his expression.

And the consequences of what he did were quite tragic.

That was the childhood sweetheart who was woken up by the knocking sound outside the window at night, and then saw a victorious expression on the other side, holding a photo album.

"I found evidence that Xiao Wu lied, come and face trial!"

With the thought that he had done something wrong, Li Wu got up in his pajamas.

The distance between Horirin's house and his home was only a few meters. Even when he didn't have any superpowers, he could jump to the opposite balcony with a running jump.

Now it's even easier. He slightly pushed his hands over the railing and climbed into the girl's boudoir.

"Why do there still exist photos from that time?"

Guang's room was still messy, but it was much neater than when she could only stay on the bed. At least the pile of things on the floor had been put away.

The evidence that Light had found was spread out on the soft carpet.

It was a not thick photo album, it was simply framed and bound.

The page that opened was a photo of two primary school students walking side by side on the road. The roadside was covered with vegetation. From the unchanged street layout, it could be seen that they were nearby. It was probably a summer many years ago.

Of course, the most important thing is that boys are half a head shorter than girls.

Faced with irrefutable evidence, Li Wu had no choice but to surrender and admit that he had lied.

Wearing light blue pajamas, Guang crossed his arms and raised his head proudly.

She knelt down and closed the photo album, only to find that the liar Xiaowu in front of her looked confused.

"Who took this photo?"

Li Wu asked.

Guang also showed a blank expression: "...a passing journalist?"

"A person like this is just taking pictures of two children when he has nothing to do?!"

“Winning a Pulitzer Prize for it.”

"The figure we came home to when we were children turned out to be such a great being!"

Although he was talking nonsense, this matter did reveal a mysterious atmosphere.

His mind may be filled with memories of going home with Hikaru, but he really can't remember when he took such a photo.

If you think about it carefully, you can even feel that there is a supernatural aura lingering in that photo album.

Maybe it was really a passerby at the time, or maybe Xizi who happened to be nearby took the picture?

Putting aside this question for the time being, Li Wu jumped back to his room.

After school the next day.

Because he had to rehearse a stage play soon, he only planned to go to the rooftop for a short walk.

But when I opened the door, I saw that there was no one there. Only Shiratori Mai's position and the desk were placed empty in the center, feeling lonely in the wind.

"The president feels like he hasn't been here several times."

Erica, who was following him, said worriedly, "Is something going to happen?"

Aoi Hoshikawa said that as an important character, at least one person had to be there first, so she went to the rehearsal of the stage play first, but Hikari hadn't arrived yet.

In other words, there are only two people alone in this space at the top of the school.

Realizing this, Airisa became restless.

"Did we push her too hard?"

Li Wu reflected on himself, "I shouldn't have told her to make her own plans."

"I think that's really the president's fault."

Airisa made a rare criticism, and then asked: "Is there anything particularly important during the Rimu Cultural Festival? Apart from the stage play?"

She leaned nervously against the door of the stairwell, scratching at the door unconsciously with her hands behind her back.

"Something particularly important? You should be idle most of the time."

After receiving the expected answer, Airisa retracted her hands that had no place to rest, folded them in front of her chest, took three steps and then ran to him in two steps.

"Then, after the stage play is over, will you go to the cultural festival with me?"

she suggested sheepishly.

"The next day? Wait, that day happens to be the exception most days."

Li Wu blurted out, and then saw Airisa withered into what Yui Hirata looked like after taking off her makeup.

"I may have to burn into ashes under the sun. I'm so sorry. I'm very happy to meet you and everyone..."

"But the period between the morning stage play and lunch time should still be free!"

"Really? Then it's settled!"

Airisa suddenly became fluffy, and her whole body exuded the aura of a cactus that had been doused with water.

Li Wu only felt that his timetable was like a piece of bread being gradually cut into pieces, leaving only a short piece.

At this moment, a clear bass sound came from the top of the stairwell standing on the rooftop.

The startled Airisa raised her head and saw the strong sunlight in front of her.

In the sunshine, a figure was sitting on the edge of the stairwell, holding a gray-black guitar in his hand.

She plucked the strings gracefully and played several harmonies.

Then the timbre gradually became clearer, the rhythm swayed, and the melody poured out slowly and forcefully.

"So...so amazing! It's obviously just a guitar, but it seems like there are many different instruments singing together!"

As an outsider, Airisa sighed in surprise.

Li Wu went around to the back of the stairwell and pressed the switch of the tape recorder that was playing.

"What are you doing, White Bird?"

The beautiful music suddenly stopped.

The mysterious girl whose real identity was exposed coughed dryly, put down the instrument in her hand, and jumped down with the sun behind her!

Landing on your face.

The president of the club, whom he hadn't seen for a while, got up awkwardly, checked whether his glasses were damaged, and then greeted him nonchalantly: "Hello, I've just come here, so I didn't hear any cultural festivals." It’s about the invitation.”

Regardless of Airisa, who fell into a temporary rage after hearing this, she announced: "I have already thought of what we are going to do at the cultural festival, and by the way, I can also help Aoki-san who suddenly said he doesn't want to be an idol!"
