Shugo Chara: Be happy today too

——.

It was another day during summer vacation.

Kukai sent Aoki An to the gate of Shengye Academy. It was morning and many students had already entered the academy coming and going.

"I never thought that there would be a 'Back to School Day' during the summer vacation." Seeing that he was about to go in, Aoki An sighed slightly.

Kong Hai glanced sideways: "Don't you like school, An?"

"No, I heard from Wei Shi a few days ago that this event might be related to the performance."

It has been a tradition for Holy Night Academy to arrange summer activities for students on the "Back to School Day" every summer vacation, just like the school's winter vacation activities last year.

Kong Hai was surprised when he heard this: "What happened to the performance?"

"I don't want to perform QAQ." Aoki An, "Although Yui didn't mention what kind of performance it is, if it's a performance, it's either singing or dancing. The school wants a lot of students to participate, so singing is definitely the only option."

At this point, Qing Mu An was a little distressed: "All guardians must join, but I know nothing about singing and I am tone-deaf."

"Tone-deaf?" Kong Hai was confused for a moment, "Ke'an sings very well, how can he be tone-deaf?"

"? When have you ever heard me sing?"

"It was that time when we experienced a fairy tale together." He still remembers the lively look on An's face when she sang.

Oh yes, she had sung it... Qing Mu An remembered it, and then said helplessly: "Because that is the nursery rhyme I have heard since I was a child." It is difficult not to learn these songs, but the songs in the performance are definitely something she has never learned before.

I have heard it since I was a child... Kong Hai's eyes lit up slightly: "Does An know other songs?"

"Well," Qing Mu An thought for a while, "I know a few, but they are all quite childish." Like Two Tigers, Little Conch, Counting Ducks and so on... They were played in kindergarten, elementary school, and even in the kindergarten next door to the community when I grew up.

"!!" Kong Hai came closer immediately, "I want to listen."

"..." Qing Muan slapped his head away, "No way."

She would never sing those childish nursery rhymes. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star was the only song she could find that sounded mature.

No, how did the topic turn to this... Qing Mu An glanced at Kong Hai suspiciously. Seeing that he wanted to come closer, she quickly gave up the idea and walked into the school: "Okay, I should go in."

"Then I'll pick you up this afternoon."

"No need. I wonder when school will end on Homecoming Day." Aoki An smiled at him, then turned and walked into the school.

——.

After attending a class taught by the homeroom teacher in the morning.

Great Hall.

Aoki An, Amu, Limo, and Miya sat on chairs at the back of the stage.

At the podium in front of the stage, Yui spoke elegantly and concisely summarized his thoughts on the activities of the previous semester, proposed the preparations for the Guardians to be developed in the next semester, and finally announced the summer vacation activities for this "Homecoming Day":

"That's right. Our Holy Night Academy has decided to participate in the choir performance and compete with other schools."

"The show will start during the summer vacation, so please work together and cheer for it."

Miya stood up and said, "Strike while the iron is hot. Let's start deciding who will play the piano and who will sing the solo!"

"Let's audition!"

Students who were interested in participating signed up one by one to play the piano on stage, the guardians acted as judges, and those who had not registered were given one vote each, and the screening began in public.

Even Wakana went on stage to try it out.

"Wakana can also play the piano, that's amazing." Aoki Yasu looked admiring.

"..." Limo glanced at Qing Muan silently, "The rhythm is a bit slow."

Aoki Yasushi: “But I think being able to play the piano is already amazing.”

Miya was amused: "You can't play the friendship card, Xiao An."

"?" Yameng was confused: Is An-chan playing the family card?

Was he discovered... Qing Mu An's expression was normal, and he changed the subject without leaving any trace, "Come to think of it, many students in school can play the piano."

"But it seems that none of these are really feasible." Wei Shi was a little distressed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Saya suddenly laughed like a villain and walked onto the stage: "Oh, oh, oh, oh - piano is a necessary secret skill for a lady. Let me show you my, Yamabuki Saya's, playing skills!"

Four incense sticks are full: "Sorry for the wait!"

Sha Ling danced to the piano, closed her eyes, and played passionately: "~"

The inspiring piano tunes are sonorous and warm, reaching straight to the heart.

The students present were immediately surprised. They didn't expect that Sha Ling really had something on her.

Yameng was also a little surprised: "Very good."

Limo: "But she changed the song without my permission."

Sha Ling enjoyed everyone's gazes, playing and beating and laughing wildly: "Oh, oh ...

"…" So crazy. Qing Mu An couldn't bear to look at it, and then paused, "Wei Shi, the "OK" you want is here."

Yuiyo: …

Yuiyo: This joke is not funny, Aoki-san.

After Sha Ling left the stage, two more players passed the stage, and this time the sound of the piano suddenly drifted in like a gentle breeze.

"Huh?" Miya was a little surprised.

Qing Mu An couldn't help but look up.

——.

After one hour.

"Then let's start the announcement." Yui said loudly, holding the assembled voting sheet, "First, the person chosen as the piano accompaniment is..."

Sha Ling is confident and dazzling.

"Fourth grade Star Team, Tanaka Marimie-san."

The students below suddenly burst into an uproar.

When Tanaka Marimée was called out, she was a little bit unconvinced: "Huh? Me?"

“!!!” Sha Ling in front of him was so angry that she fell backwards. She immediately jumped up and down, “Jioduo, hennasang! Didn’t you hear my superb piano skills!”

Li Mo had no good feelings towards this person who had intended to harm An Jiang. Hearing this, she said mercilessly: "No one else can sing if you play like that."

Saya:!? !

Yui continued reading the results: "Next, the soloist is - Sixth-year Star Group, Hinamori Amu."

Yameng didn't react for a moment, and commented calmly: "I see."

The next second: “?!”

"Me? Why? I haven't even tried to sing yet!"

Fang, a girl from the Amu's personal guard team, made a gorgeous appearance: "That is to say, no one else can do the job except Hinamori Amu!"

The male guard of Yameng faction: "Who else?"

Suzuki Seiichiro was passionate: "That's it!"

As he spoke, he adjusted his glasses and said enthusiastically: "If necessary, I can also join the chorus." This is a good opportunity to get close to the idol Yameng!

Li Mo (=.=): "It looks like she was chosen."

Aoki Yasushi: ...

I couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You really are a fan of Yameng."

Hearing this, Yameng was a little dissatisfied: "Why not? An-chan obviously has fans supporting her too!"

The An An faction fan club made an appearance at the right time: "Master Aoki, the forever rising star of e-sports!"

An An's fans are radical: "Senior Aoki, you've worked hard in training! So when is the next e-sports competition?"

An An fan Qiong Yao said: "Our Qingmu has been studying day and night, getting up early and going to bed late, and has become the top student in the grade. What else can you do to her? What can you do!~"

Yameng: ...

Aoki Yasushi: ...

An Qingmu: Okay, okay, thank you, my dear sons!

Seeing this, Miya came over and said with a smile: "Besides, no one else wants to do it."

Yui turned to Yameng and curved his eyes: "Good luck, Hinamori-san."

"..." Yameng's expression suddenly became even more dull.

Aoki An was amused. Together with Limo, Miya, and Yui, they all gave Amu a thumbs up in tacit agreement: "Yeah!"

Yameng: “.”

——.

The afternoon of "Back to School Day" is free time.

Yui Shi left the students who needed to participate in the performance in the auditorium, and asked two music teachers to teach the songs to the students who had never heard of them and could not sing them. The remaining students first tried to sing in harmony or practice singing in tune.

"The Faraway Earth"... Aoki An looked at the music score in his hand, and was completely in the dark. He could not understand the notes or the melody at all. He could only follow the teacher and practice one sentence at a time, stumbling over and over.

Among the crowd of younger students, she, a senior student, stood out particularly.

Yameng had heard this song before, but she just didn't sing it in tune. Seeing that Aoki An couldn't even understand the music score, she was surprised and laughed at him mercilessly: "Hahahaha, An-chan, you can't sing!"

Qing Mu An was embarrassed: "Isn't it strange that you can't sing?"

“Soooo~soo!” Yameng was so happy, “When I thought about An-chan knowing everything, but couldn’t even read a sheet of music, the contrast was so big! Not like An-chan at all, hahahaha…”

"...How can I know everything?" Qing Mu An was a little helpless.

At this time, Matsushita, who was standing beside her, looked up and comforted her: "It's okay, Senior Aoki, I can't do it either, let's work hard together."

Aoki An, who was not comforted at all, had to try hard to keep smiling: "...Okay."

After finally remembering the tune, it was almost time to go home from school, so Yui gathered everyone together again: "Next, let's arrange the positions for the chorus in the last minute."

As he wished, Aoki An stood at the bottom two of the back row.

Just as he was feeling thankful, Yui frowned while standing on the podium: "It seems a bit messy. Everyone, how about we separate the men and women and try to stand separately? The girls will stand on my left side, and the boys will stand on my right side."

"Ah."

Everyone started moving again.

This time, Qing Muan was turning around in the back row. Some girls passed by her. When things became quiet again, she suddenly realized that her position had moved from the last row at the edge to the middle without her knowing.

Aoki Anxin was startled and was about to move, but Yui's eyes lit up at the command desk: "Okay, let's do this."

There were two rows of students, all wearing red skirt uniforms on the left and blue pants uniforms on the right. It looked very harmonious and pleasing to the eye.

Especially Yameng, who had to stand in the middle of the first row as a soloist, was very conspicuous and stood out because of her fashionable school uniform.

Wei Shi nodded with satisfaction: "Everyone has worked hard. Have a good rest when you go back. Come to school to practice tomorrow afternoon."

Aoki Yasushi: ...

Aoki Yasushi: !!!

No! She doesn't want to stand in the middle!

Classmates: “Okay.”

"..." Aoki An immediately looked to his right, trying to switch seats with the classmate next to him.

Unexpectedly, the girl on the right jumped down from the choir ladder immediately after hearing that she could go home, and left the hall happily with her friends, without giving Aoki An any chance to speak.

There are only boys on the left, so this is even more impossible... Aoki An felt like crying but had no tears. He subconsciously glanced to the left to see who it was. He didn't know until he looked, and his movements paused slightly.

Kanbe was surprised to see Aoki An suddenly turn around. Then his ears turned red. Although his face was still cold, a smile flashed in his eyes: "Aoki-san."

Aoki An, who hadn't been so close to Kobe for a long time, immediately became nervous: "President."

The scene of the other party's confession in the past was still vivid in her mind because of the shock he said at that time. Aoki An didn't know what to do for a moment. It was not at all natural like when she met the other party while keeping a distance in the e-sports club.

"..." Seeing that the girl was uncomfortable, Kobe was about to say goodbye and leave, but just opened his mouth.

After walking a few steps with Yamenglimo, Miya noticed that Aoki An was gone, so she turned around and shouted, "An-chan, we're leaving!"

As she spoke, she turned sideways and waved at Aoki An.

"Ah, here we come."

Thank God, thank you Miya... Aoki breathed a sigh of relief: "President, I'll leave first."

Kanbe paused slightly, and turned what he was about to say into one word.

"Ah."

——[Bonus mini-theater]

After Haili got off the plane, he just turned off the flight mode on his phone and four messages popped up in succession.

He was stunned, and after clicking it, his cheeks turned red.

On the chat page, there are four messages as follows:

M: Class monitor confession video.DVD

M: The squad leader stares at Yameng in the Royal Garden (candid shot).jpg

M: The squad leader stares at Yameng after his transformation on the tarmac (candid shot).jpg

M: You’re welcome, monitor.

"……" Both candid photos perfectly show Yameng's front or side face, as well as herself standing beside her looking silly.

Haili was silent for a moment, clicked save, and then clicked on the video. He was frightened by his own appearance on the screen and quickly exited it.

It took me a while to react before I dared to click it again.

Why do I look so stupid? Is this really him?

The sea was a bit unbearable to look at. I was struggling over whether to save the video or not. Suddenly, the camera switched the scene and I didn't know where it was, but the enlarged version of the clothes filled the entire screen.

Haili was puzzled for a moment, until the familiar pink hair appeared, his breathing stopped and he reacted.

It’s Amen... Oh, and the color of this dress is the same.

Because Yameng hugged Aoki An, the camera was forced to turn from him to Yameng, so the enlarged hair, arms, back, etc., are all Yameng's...

It felt like Asia Dream was pressing against the screen.

The short eight-second shot passed by, shook, and finally stopped at Yameng's back and the scene where he happened to turn around not far away.

"..."

Haili silently clicked save, and after some operation, he edited out the eight seconds separately and put them properly into a confidential file.

Haley: Thank you, M.
