Takao Ueno was stunned for a moment, his gaze lingered on Izumi's face, and he took note of the high school student in front of him, feeling that there might be a chance to cooperate with him in the future.

"She is good-looking and won first place in the country in middle school. She has no resistance to the deals behind these programs and has a mature personality. She is a good candidate."

Takahiro Ueno was thinking in his heart, and faced with Izumi's doubts, he did not hide it and told him the guests of this show.

"Well, it's the regular artists and some young idols. This time, an agency... recommended some newcomers to participate in this show. They are two cute girls."

306. Aiyin: I have an idea!

Agency, idol.

When Izumi heard these words from the producer, the first people that came to his mind were Amami Haruka and Kisaragi Chihaya, whom he had met and interacted with before. However, after asking the producer carefully—

'Diamond Dust? Who's that?'

I thought it would be a little idol I knew, but Quan seemed to have too high expectations for the little idol, and the other party did not seem to be able to participate in a program of this level.

"If it's 'Sumimi', at least I can meet Mikaku Hatsuka, but... Diamond Dust?"

It was a completely unfamiliar idol group, at least not on Quan’s follow list.

My already low mood was completely extinguished after I found out that it was an idol group I was not familiar with. I just wanted to complete my task as soon as possible and go home early after school.

In the principal's office, the two middle-aged men and the young boy Izumi, after the three completed the negotiation, Izumi regained his freedom and left the principal's office. He did not return to the classroom, but went straight to the library to meet Goto Ichiri.

"If it's a program recording, then most places in the school should have cameras installed by now, right? Then there should be cameras in the library... right?"

I recalled the map I had received from the program producer. From what was depicted on it, there was no one hiding in the library, and most of the marked cameras were in public areas.

There is no guarantee that the other party will not miss anything, but you still have to pay a little attention when you are in the library.

When she entered the library, as Izumi had expected, Goto Ichiri was still hiding alone between the bookshelves in the library, squatting on the ground. When she heard the footsteps, she was a little nervous, but after seeing Izumi's figure, she gradually calmed down.

"Ichiri, do you know 'Diamond Dust'?"

She came to Goto Ichiri's side, and unlike in the past, she sat next to Goto Ichiri. Today, Izumi kept a little distance from her. After sitting down, she asked her about 'Diamond Dust'.

Although Izumi himself didn't know much about the band, he felt that Goto Ichiri should know something.

"Eh? Um... I don't know."

But after Izumi asked, Goto Ichiri looked at Izumi with some surprise, wondering why Izumi suddenly asked this question.

"Don't you know me?"

"...I don't have any impression of it. It shouldn't be a famous band, right?"

Facing Izumi's question, Goto Ichiri smiled awkwardly. It might be a bit too much to say that, but she really didn't know this band. She used to like listening to songs from niche bands, but most of them were foreign bands. As for domestic niche bands, she didn't know much about them.

"Is it... the band that Quan is supporting now?"

Not knowing why Izumi asked him if he knew this band, Goto Ichiri's eyes fell on Izumi and asked with a little curiosity.

If this is the band that Quan currently supports, then when she returns home today, she will have to listen to all the songs of this band to ensure that she and Quan will have common topics to talk about next time!

"No, I just happened to hear the name of this band, so I asked out of curiosity. Don't take it to heart. The activities will start in the afternoon. Do you want to ask for leave?"

I asked Goto Ichiri casually, and the girl lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then she shook her head slightly.

"Even if I take a day off, there's nothing to do when I get home. 'Starry' isn't open yet, and other people haven't finished school yet. There's nothing to do even if I take a day off. It's better for me to stay in school."

Before she knew it, Goto Ichiri was able to hold conversations fluently and express what was on her mind.

Izumi, who was sitting next to Goto Ichisato, felt the changes in Goto Ichisato and felt a little emotional, as if he saw that his own efforts were gradually beginning to bear fruit.

"So you plan to stay in the classroom and rest?"

"……Um."

Goto Ichiri thought about it for a moment, then nodded slightly.

She didn't get enough rest, so it would be better for her to stay in the classroom and rest for a while. She also felt that she was not the only one who was unwilling to participate in the event. There should be other people who would not attend today's event.

After lunch break, the two returned to the classroom. After a class ended, a piercing noise amplified by a loudspeaker came from downstairs in the school building and echoed in every classroom in the school.

'Has it started yet? '

Quan, who had known for a long time that there were cameras in the classroom, controlled the expression on his face and looked out the window curiously.

Yuqiu.

"Deng, if your very close friend started dating someone you are very close to, how would you feel?"

Hearing the question asked by Aine, Takamatsu Deng, who was still thinking about how to change the current situation of the band, couldn't help but look up and look at Aine who was sitting at the table behind him.

“Yes…Aine’s brother, and what about Souyo?”

"…No, just if."

Takamatsu Deng's answer made Chihaya Aine's face darken, and then she denied the other party's guess.

"..."

Although she was a little slow in emotions, Takamatsu Deng still sensed Aine's reluctance and silently sat back down. After a moment of silence, she tilted her head slightly, glanced at Aine behind her, and gave her answer.

"If... the relationship is good, I will... give my blessing."

“…Blessings.”

Aine always felt a little depressed when she thought about her brother getting married, holding hands with a girl in a wedding dress, walking into the ceremony hall together, while she could only sit in a seat nearby.

'Can I, in that situation, give a blessing?'

Frowning and thinking intently for a moment, Chihaya Aine couldn't come up with an answer that satisfied herself.

"Are we still going to Shuang's family today?"

Seeing that Aine suddenly fell silent, Takamatsu Deng did not continue the previous topic, but asked about Nagasaki Soyo.

The two had originally planned to persuade Nagasaki Shoyo to return to the band, and meeting Chihaya Izumi was just an accident, but they returned empty-handed yesterday, which made Takamatsu Deng hesitate as to whether he should go to Nagasaki Shoyo's house today.

"..."

Chihaya Aine herself no longer knew about this matter.

What happened yesterday made her feel upset.

"Forget it, let's not go today. If we keep bothering her, it might just backfire. It's better to wait until we can think of a way to persuade her to come back."

"Really... can Shuangshi come back?"

Takamatsu Deng, who had a weak character to begin with, began to waver in his heart.

"...I... um...?"

Aiyin originally wanted to give an answer, but after hearing Takamatsu Deng's question, the possibility of persuading Shoshi to return suddenly emerged in her mind. She couldn't help but pursed her lips, hesitating whether she should use that method.

Her sight rested on Takamatsu Touma, and Aine’s heart began to struggle.

307. Light: Even if you do something wrong, it is better than doing nothing.

It is known that Nagasaki Soyo has an ambiguous relationship with his brother Chihaya Izumi. Even though Izumi has not admitted that he and Nagasaki Soyo are dating, judging from the closeness of their relationship and the fact that he stayed out all night before, the relationship between the two is...

To use an inappropriate description, it is probably that a friend who she had just met for a short time suddenly set his eyes on the doll that she hugged to sleep every night, and without her knowledge, secretly did things to her doll that she should not do, so that when she sees her "doll" now, she feels that the other party is no longer clean.

She couldn't help biting her lip. Thinking back to the unclear relationship between Nagasaki Soyo and Izumi, Chihaya Aine felt particularly depressed and uncomfortable.

But from what Nagasaki Soushi had talked about with her before, she felt that there should not be much falsehood in Nagasaki Soushi's feelings for his brother, so she thought that Nagasaki Soushi cared about Izumi, so should she give him some guidance on this matter?

'Deng accidentally entered Quan's room earlier. If Shuangshi knew about this, I wonder how she would react... If I use this, or other aspects to stimulate Shuangshi... and let Quan come to the band more often, then Shuangshi might also do something because of Quan...'

Her gaze slowly fell on Takamatsu Tomori. What made her hesitate was that this would affect Takamatsu Tomori's reputation and might also cause a counter-effect, causing Nagasaki Soyo to be hostile to Takamatsu Tomori.

"Why is it so difficult to convince Shuangshi to return to the band..."

She sighed in her heart and recalled what Izumi had told her. Chihaya Aine decided not to disturb Nagasaki Soyo for the time being, but to put some thought into Shiina Tatsuki to see if she could let Shiina Tatsuki guide Nagasaki Soyo.

Being stared at by Chihaya Aine, Takamatsu Deng felt inexplicably nervous. She always felt that there was something wrong with the look given by the girl sitting in the back seat, as if she was thinking about something bad. However, the feeling quickly disappeared, leaving her a little concerned.

"I have to... do something. Something that only I can do..."

Seeing that Aine suddenly fell silent, Takamatsu Deng whispered softly in his heart.

She had always been passive in the interpersonal relationships within the band and had never taken the initiative to do anything. Seeing the band's second disbandment approaching, she could no longer accept the thought of herself as a failure without doing anything.

'Even if I did something wrong...it's better than doing nothing.'

Xiuhua University.

"Hey! Did you hear that? Izumi, if you can find those artists in hiding, you can share a million yen!"

After using the radio to announce the content of the event and the rewards for students' victories to each grade and classroom, the artists went into hiding, while the students were temporarily managed by the teachers and stayed in their respective classrooms, waiting for the hiding time to end before leaving the classroom to search for the artists.

When Hiroto Shioyama heard that the program crew came to the school to record the program and that there would be rewards for winning this event, the expression on his face was one of uncontrollable surprise and excitement. After the broadcast ended, he instantly turned around and looked at Izumi who was sitting at the back table.

"heard it."

Facing the excited Hiroto Shioyama, Izumi's reaction was very calm, which made him stand out in the lively classroom.

Everyone was interested in the 'program' and the 'prize', especially those who had thought that the event would not go on. Now they all looked very excited and full of energy, especially when they saw their favorite artists among the guests.

Although there are no artists that Quan cares about, the veteran comedians among the regular guests have a lot of audiences following them in this school. In addition, the cute female guests have also attracted the attention of many boys.

"One million yen!"

He didn't care about Izumi's dull reaction. Hiroto Shioyama was already thinking about how he would use the one million yen.

"Before, I could only look at them, but now I can buy the action figures that I couldn't afford, and I can also buy new game consoles... well, I can also update my computer configuration..."

Looking at Hiroto Shioyama who had started to think seriously and was having trouble making a choice, Izumi was considering whether he should record his current appearance and then play it again in front of him after the event was over.

Glancing at Goto Ichiri, the girl seemed to have been deceived by the 'one million yen' as well, and fell into a similar state as Hiroto Shioyama, probably also fantasizing about how to enjoy using the one million yen.

'What about her?'

His eyes fell on Akatsuki Ci, and he found that the girl's reaction was very calm. She was not caught up in the fantasy of winning the prize. He could see that her eyes were quite clear.

As for why Izumi, who was sitting at the back, could see the gaze of Akatsuki Koto, who was sitting at the front...

"He, does he know something?"

After a brief surprise, Akatsuki returned to normal. She did not have any special liking for the so-called artists, nor was she particularly surprised by the appearance of these people. So when the broadcast sounded and she heard the specific content of this "event", she was slightly surprised, but she quickly returned to normal.
