Shugo Chara: Be happy today too

——.

The next day.

Opera venue.

"Chapter 23, Chorus Kosokunor Venue"

Waiting room.

Listening to the host's voice outside the venue, Miya became more and more nervous: "Ah, it's our turn soon..."

She adjusted her collar slightly, turned around and asked Qing Muan: "Neinei, Xiao An, is my ribbon tied crooked?"

Qing Mu An's mind was full of the scene of Kukai coming to school yesterday and pulling her into the grove. When her name was called, her thoughts were not able to change for a moment: "Ah...ah? What?"

"Why are you distracted, Xiao An?" Miye pouted unhappily and turned to look at Yameng, "Xiaomeng, come and take a look at Miye's tie... Uh, Xiaomeng?"

I thought Yameng could give some advice, but when I turned around, I saw that Yameng's dazed expression was even more excessive than Aoki An's.

Miye immediately: ...

Xiaolan: "It seems that Yameng-chan is too nervous to care about other people's leisure."

Xiaosi was helpless: "It has become hard."

Maggie spread her hands: "Yeah, yeah."

At this time, Yuise suddenly came over and said, "Hiinamori-san."

Ya Meng came back to his senses immediately: "?"

Miya: “……?” Why should I care about Xiao Wei?

Yui narrowed his eyes and said, "We're about to go on stage, are you ready, Hinamori-san?"

"!" Yameng immediately crossed her arms and said confidently, "Of course!"

Li Mo came over: "Sister, let's go too."

Aoki An: “Yeah.”

——.

After a while, the opera hall was full.

In the VIP seats close to the stage, Kobayashi, Hasegawa, Takuya, and Kukai sat in that order.

Takuya had a cold expression, and the unhappiness in his eyes was almost written directly: "Grandpa, why is he here too?"

Hasegawa was not happy either, but he had no choice but to reply, "This was bought at the request of Miss An. Miss An said that she hoped to be able to see Soma-kun clearly on the stage."

“……!!!” Takuya was so angry.

Kukai seemed to be unaware of this and smiled brightly at the three of them in a very friendly manner: "Takuya-senpai, Grandpa Hasegawa, Grandma Kobayashi, good afternoon!"

"..." Takuya pulled the corner of his mouth indifferently.

Butler Hasegawa narrowed his eyes unkindly and nodded.

When Nanny Kobayashi met Kūkai for the first time, she was a little surprised to see Kūkai's smile. The child seemed to be full of energy and looked quite sunny and genuine.

I didn't expect that Miss An would like such a boy. I couldn't imagine the usually quiet Miss An standing with this sunny boy in front of her.

However, Miss An does seem to have become more lively and outgoing recently.

Thinking of this, Xiaolin's attitude was better than the other two, and he also smiled back: "Good afternoon, Soma-kun."

This caused Takuya and Hasegawa to couldn't help but glance at her.

Host: "...Next, the children from Holy Night Academy will perform a chorus performance, "The Earth from the Faraway Place."

Hasegawa immediately shifted his attention: "Here I come, Master."

Takuya and Kukai immediately turned their attention to the stage.

?: "…Embracing dreams and courage, we fly towards the blue sky. The treasure of freedom and longing, the joy of mutual love…"

Takuya and Kukai saw the silver-haired girl in the middle back row and took out their phones to take pictures at the same time. At the moment of pressing the shutter, the two looked at each other inexplicably.

Takuya: "..."

Kukai: "..."

It was as if a strange switch was triggered, and the two of them immediately used all kinds of photography techniques, horizontal and vertical shots, close-ups and long shots, and even the photo of the young master praised by Hasegawa!

As if they were competing with each other, the occasional glances between Takuya and Kukai were filled with blazing fighting spirit.

Aoki Yasu, who was watching clearly from the stage, said: …

The words coming out of my mouth were almost out of tune.

Suddenly, Takuya remembered something, tilted his head, curled the corner of his mouth and sneered at Kong Hai, then snapped his fingers lightly with his right hand.

Kukai:?

The next second, the sound of neatly-arranged clothes rubbing against each other and the sound of equipment debugging could be heard behind him.

Kong Hai subconsciously turned his head to look.

There were four seats in a row behind him. Four bodyguards in suits and sunglasses stood in neat rows, each holding up a camera in one hand. They looked determined to join the party, and they were particularly serious about recording their own lady.

Takuya: Humph, ever since he saw his sister's e-sports competition, he has been prepared for this move, but he accidentally forgot just now... Well, this is not important!

Company CEO Takuya Childish Ghost: Anyway, the cameras in the dark must have the complete video, and these four in the open will make this little ghost retreat!

Kukai:......

The same?Kukai? childish ghost:!!!

Damn it, I should have called my brothers over earlier!

Hughes & Earth: ...

Xiu Si held his forehead with his hand, unable to bear watching: "Two gods... childish ghosts."

Dadi shook his head, "What kind of inexplicable desire to win... I no longer have the desire to complain."

?: "...make a wish with you, a beautiful earth."

After the chorus performance, the students of Holy Night Academy returned to the backstage lounge to rest.

Qing Mu An and Ya Meng breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and said in unison: "Ah, it's finally over."

One was embarrassed by his brother and Kukai's behavior, and the other finally made it through the solo segment without making any mistakes.

Miye came over with a smile: "Xiaoan's brother must have the complete video! Xiaoan, send it to Miye when the time comes. Miye wants to show it to mom!"

"..." Qing Muan was somewhat helpless, "Okay."

At this moment, Yameng suddenly noticed something and walked to Suzuki Seiichiro's side: "What's the matter? You've been staring at me?"

Aoki An, Li Mo and Miya looked over when they heard the voice and saw Yameng teasing, "Ah! Could it be that you have fallen in love with Tanaka-san?"

Suzuki Seiichiro's face immediately turned red: "What are you talking about, Hinamori-senpai!"

"I think you were very brave yesterday, being the first to stand up and defend Tanaka." Seeing his big reaction, Yameng felt a little amused, and her expression became mean, "How about confessing all at once?"

"!!!" Suzuki Seiichiro's face became redder and redder, "Ah, how could it be..."

Seeing this, Limo blinked: "It's rare for Yameng to say such a thing."

Miye nodded in surprise: "Hongduo."

Aoki An couldn't help but smile.

Then the next second, I heard Suzuki Seiichiro suddenly mention her: "I just think what Aoki said makes sense, "I signed up because I wanted to participate, and I experienced the meaning of working hard to become better in the process, and making progress together with my classmates." These words are very good, really."

Aoki An was stunned.

Limo and Miya immediately turned to look at Qing Mu An, with the same expression and action: "Oh~ Very well said~"

Aoki Yasushi: ...

His face turned slightly red, and he didn't know how to respond to his friend's gaze, so he slightly turned his gaze away.

Suzuki Seiichiro shyly twisted his body, not knowing what scene he recalled, and explained to Yameng with a slightly red cheek: "Because I saw how happy Tanaka-san is now, I thought of many things."

"As for me...I am not number one in many aspects, whether it's studying or sports, but even so, I still have my own dreams."

"I dream of becoming a president, an astronaut, a racing driver, etc. These dreams may seem boring and meaningless, but for me now, these are the only dreams I have."

"This is my dream. Just like what Senior Aoki said, I don't need others to judge whether it is meaningful or not. My dream comes first."

Suzuki Seiichiro thought about the scene of himself practicing with Tanaka, and the conversation he had with Tanaka while walking on the street after practice two nights ago.

[“But can I really sing well?”

Tanaka: "It's okay. I think the most important thing is not whether you sing well or not, but to sing happily. The word "music" literally means "joyful sound", right? You can't not enjoy it."

"is that so?"

Tanaka: “How should I put it? I’m not a very good pianist… I often think that professional pianists are so amazing and I envy them, but I don’t hate myself for not being a good pianist.”

Tanaka: "Because my dream is... I want to keep playing the piano. Even after I grow up and get married, I want to play the piano with my husband and children every day. That's my dream."

"…Get married?! No, I don't mean to laugh at you, I just think this dream is too wonderful! Uh uh! Please don't look at me!"】

Suzuki Seiichiro's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help but look up again in the direction of Tanaka Marimoe. At that time, the girl was surrounded by her friends and praised.

His expression softened: "So I think as long as you work hard, there will always be something you can do. As long as you understand this, that's enough."

"If I could become more confident like Aoki-senpai, who has excellent grades and is super energetic in esports, then..." He will confess to Tanaka-san again.

Aoki An opened his eyes slightly, and a sense of throbbing inexplicably surged in his heart, as if he saw a familiar little figure through Suzuki Seiichiro.

The white egg in the waist bag, the red heart-shaped eggshell suddenly became slightly warm and shiny. The watcher inside the egg noticed something and shook the egg.

The green leaves and green bow patterns on the eggshell seemed to come alive, burying the red heart shape until the red heart shape returned to normal.

Yameng was stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she patted Suzuki Seiichiro on the back and said, "Come on! Suzuki Seiichiro."

Suzuki Seiichiro was hit and staggered, covering his back in pain.

"!" Yameng, "Guome, does it hurt?"

"..." Suzuki turned around, tears streaming down his face with excitement, "I'm so touched! This is the first time I heard Hinamori-senpai call out my full name~"

Yameng: ...

Aoki An, Li Mo and Miya all burst out laughing.

Just at this happy moment, Sha Ling suddenly walked up to Aoki An in a shy manner.

"..." Aoki An's face turned pale immediately and he took a step back reflexively.

Unexpectedly, Sha Ling took out a huge bouquet of red roses from behind her back: "Ah... An-chan~"

Her face was red, and she turned her head slightly away, not daring to look at Qing Mu An. Naturally, she did not notice Qing Mu An's step back. Her expression was extremely shy: "Please, please accept this bouquet of red roses. It represents my sincere and passionate love for you...ah!"

Suddenly, two figures rushed in from outside the door, one in front and one behind.

Takuya didn't see Saya at all, nor did he notice that he had just knocked Saya away. He rushed in and went straight to Aoki An.

Before anyone could react, he quickly adjusted his appearance, ruthlessly put his arm around Aoki An's shoulders, and perfectly and gracefully avoided the hungry wolf's pounce from behind Kong Hai.

You little brat, your legs are not even as long as mine, and you still want to outrun me? ... Takuya glanced at the fallen Kong Hai with contempt, and said in a very stylish and CEO-like tone: "You little brat, this is a public place."

Only a few seconds had passed from the time Saya came over to the time Takuya and Kukai rushed in. Aoki An didn't even have time to change his expression, his eyes were full of confusion:...???

What…what happened?

Rimo and Miya next to them: ...

Yameng: ???

Seeing Kong Hai on the ground, Qing Mu An subconsciously felt a little worried: "Kong Hai..."

Unexpectedly, although Kong Hai was lying face down on the ground, he still raised his right hand and gave a classic thumbs up, and said with great effort: "I'm fine."

"..." Why did she feel like everything was not alright?

"Don't worry about him, he likes to stay on the ground." Takuya continued ruthlessly, "Sister, let's go home."

"..." Yui squatted down and poked Kukai's head: "Soma-kun, is everything okay?"

Kukai: "."
