Glacier sister, don't want to be a sandwich

After a moment of silence, Gao Songdeng suddenly raised his hand gently.

"Eh? Xiao Deng, do you know any drummers?" Yue Ge blinked, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Gao Songdeng with a puzzled look, "Why don't I know?"

Her mind raced, trying to recall if she and Xiao Deng knew anyone who was good at drums. However—she had no recollection.

"There was a taiko drum performance in the shopping street...before," Takamatsu explained.

"Ah..." Yue Ge's eyes lit up slightly, and then he recalled this incident.

The Taiko performance in the shopping street was indeed very famous. She had heard it several times before. The majestic drum beats and powerful rhythm were simply exciting.

but--

"But... it doesn't seem realistic to invite those adults to perform, right?" Yue Ge touched his chin and frowned.

The taiko troupes in the shopping district are mostly made up of adults, who usually perform on the streets or entertain at festivals. Inviting them to join a makeshift band seems difficult no matter how you look at it.

"No..." Xiao Deng shook her head gently and looked at Yuege seriously, "The sister of a member of the Taiko drum team... is in our school."

"Huh?" Yue Ge was stunned, obviously not expecting this development.

"Before... when we were watching the performance... she was wearing our school uniform and cheering for her sister." Gao Songdeng recalled and said slowly.

Yue Ge's eyes suddenly widened a little.

"That is to say..."

The corners of her mouth slowly lifted up, and her tone revealed a hint of excitement, "Can we give it a try?"

--------------

"Bump."

Yue Ge raised her hand and knocked on the door of the student union office. The crisp sound echoed in the corridor.

She stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and glanced at the student union emblem on the door.

Although she had previously firmly stated that she would not join the student union, it did not mean that she would not make use of the connections left by her sisters - after all, this was a rare resource.

Just as she was thinking about how to start, a familiar voice came from the office: "Come in."

"……Um?"

Yue Ge was slightly startled and frowned slightly.

"This voice... sounds so familiar? Where on earth have I heard it before?"

She tried to recall subconsciously, but couldn't remember it for a moment.

However, before she could figure it out, her body had already taken action before her brain—

She stretched out her hand, gently pushed the door open, showed a polite smile, stepped in, and said softly:

"excuse me."

Inside the student union office, light streams through the window onto neat desks, and the air carries a faint smell of paper and stationery.

The moment Yue Ge pushed open the door, her eyes fell on the figure sitting at the table.

The president of the imaging club, Sakura-senpai, was looking down at a thick book, his slender fingers gently turning the pages, his expression calm and focused.

Hearing the noise, she raised her head, a meaningful smile on her lips: "Hirako-san? We meet again so soon?"

Yuege was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and blinked in surprise: "Sakura-senpai?"

She thought about it and realized that she hadn't heard of any news about a change of student council president recently.

After all, it wasn't Sakura-senpai who gave the speech at the opening ceremony.

"The president is not here today." Senior Sakura closed the book, rested his elbows on the table, crossed his hands and supported his chin, looking at Yuege with interest, "If you have anything, you can tell me."

Her eyes were sharp and calm. She saw through Yue Ge's intentions at a glance and chuckled:

"But, I think... your purpose of coming here isn't to join the student union, right?"

"Ah ha ha……"

Yue Ge's smile froze instantly after the other party said this. Her fingers unconsciously touched the back of her head and scratched it gently, trying to hide her inner embarrassment.

Her eyes wandered around the office, trying to find someone who could help her out.

However, in the huge student council office, there was no one else except Sakura-senpai who was staring at her with interest.

The silence was unsettling.

“…Huh??”

Yue Ge secretly complained in her heart, is today some kind of unlucky day? Why are all the other student union members not here?!

She glanced at Sakura-senpai out of the corner of her eye, but happened to meet his gaze with a playful smile. The expression of "I'm watching your performance" made her feel a little at a loss.

But if I turn around and leave now, it will only seem more suspicious.

Thinking of this, Yue Ge forced himself to suppress the retreat in his heart, took a deep breath, straightened his back, and stepped forward with forced calmness.

"Um... Actually, I wanted to bother you today to ask about someone..."

----------------

Actually it was originally supposed to be Li Xi's, but together with Xiangzi, the plot was moved to the back.

Can you guess who the new drummer is? But it's pretty obvious.

Chapter 90: Meeting with the Great Demon Princess

"Go ahead," Sakura-senpai said.

Yuege took a deep breath and asked tentatively, "Um... does Sakura-senpai know Udagawa-senpai?"

All she learned from Xiao Deng was that the last name of the taiko group seemed to be Udagawa. She didn't know anything more, so she could only try her luck in the student union.

"Udagawa?"

Senior Sakura frowned. He was obviously familiar with this surname, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes wandering for a moment, as if searching for relevant information in her memory.

"Which Udagawa?" she asked, a hint of confusion in her tone.

Yue Ge quickly added, "That's the one who plays drums really well!"

Hearing the keyword "drumming", Sakura-senpai was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up slightly, as if he had finally grasped a key point from his chaotic memory.

"Ah! Are you talking about that——Udagawa Ako?"

Sakura-senpai's voice was filled with a hint of surprise and realization, and it was obvious that he had finally found the corresponding name in his memory.

However, just after she confirmed it, the expression on her face became a little subtle, as if she was thinking about something unspeakable.

She paused, looking at Yuege with complicated eyes, her tone showing a hint of hesitation: "Are you sure you want to find this person?"

Yue Ge keenly noticed the change in her expression, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "Eh? Is there something wrong?"

"This one……"

Sakura-senpai's eyes flickered subtly, as if he was formulating his words, and the corners of his mouth pursed.

Finally, he simply shrugged and gave a somewhat intriguing smile: "Her condition... is hard to explain at the moment."

"What's going on?" Yue Ge became more and more confused as she listened. She tilted her head, her eyes full of curiosity and confusion.

Senior Sakura sighed and waved his hand, as if he had made up his mind: "Forget it... Go and meet her yourself. You will understand after you meet her. You have to prepare yourself mentally."

"Ah?" Yuege's face was full of confusion as to why Sakura-senpai would say such a thing.

--------------------------

"here it is……?"

Yue Ge stood in front of the door, looking at the address in her hand, then looked up at the doorplate in front of her with the words "Dance Department Activity Room".

Her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Didn't you say you were a drumming expert? How come... you joined the dance club?"

She muttered to herself, unable to connect "drummer" with "dance club".

She glanced around. The corridor was empty, with only the sound of music coming from inside the door giving it a hint of life.

After hesitating for a moment, she took a deep breath, raised her hand, and knocked on the door twice.

"excuse me."

However, her voice was instantly drowned out by the deafening music.

A young girl is dancing freely to the beat of the music.

Her body first rose and fell slowly to the low rhythm, her shoulders shaking slightly with the beat of the drum, as if she was gathering strength, and then—

"Snapped--!"

The rhythm suddenly increased, and the girl's feet tapped the floor hard, her toes moving rapidly alternately, making sharp steps.

Then he lowered his body, supported himself on the ground with one hand, and instantly fell to one side, with his toes turning in an arc in the air.

Yue Ge's eyes widened. She had never seen such a powerful dance.

Her heartbeat quickened with the drumbeats until the dancer finished with a clean windmill spin, supported herself on one hand, stood up from half-kneeling, and finally finished steadily with a freeze-frame movement.

"boom."

As the music stopped, the members of the dance club applauded and cheered, and the room was filled with the excitement of a dazzling performance.

Yue Ge, standing at the door, seemed a little awkward. It was not until everyone's eyes fell on her that she realized that she was being stared at by a group of people from the dance club.

“Are there any new visitors?”

The dancer who had just completed a difficult dance step took the towel handed to him, wiped the sweat off his face, and then walked over.

Her eyes swept over Yue Ge, finally landing on her green hair and slightly delicate face, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

"What is your relationship with Saya-senpai?" she asked, her tone casual but with a hint of tentativeness.

"Ah..." Yue Ge recovered from the shock just now, straightened up slightly, and tried to make her tone sound less passive, "I am Bingchuan Yue Ge, and the Bingchuan Saye you mentioned is my sister."

"Oh?" The other person raised an eyebrow, as if finally finding something familiar, and nodded, "No wonder... you sisters look quite similar."

"Ah... really?" Yue Ge smiled awkwardly and didn't respond.

"I'm the president of the dance club, Nozomi Watanabe, just call me Watanabe."

The other party introduced himself, then put one hand on his waist and looked at Yuege with interest, "So, are you here to visit the dance club?"

"No." Yue Ge quickly waved his hand and answered seriously, "I came here to see Senior Udagawa Ako today."

When Watanabe Nozomi heard the name, his eyebrows raised slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Are you looking for Ako?"

"Yes." Yue Ge nodded, "Excuse me, is she here now?"

Nozomi Watanabe shrugged and didn't say anything else. Instead, he raised his voice and shouted into the classroom: "Ako! Someone's looking for you!"

Not far away, a purple-haired, red-eyed girl who was chatting excitedly with her companions heard her name, stood up suddenly, flicked her wrist, and swept her sharp eyes towards the door.

She walked slowly towards him, a mysterious smile on her lips, and lowered her voice with a deliberately constructed aura:

"Hehe... How dare you disturb this great demon princess Ayako... Let me see who dares to—"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly paused, frowned, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Seeing this, Yue Ge kindly added, "An audience?"

Azi's eyes lit up, and she nodded immediately, continuing without hesitation: "Yes, yes, yes! Come to see the Great Demon Princess Azi-sama!"

She struck a pose that she thought was full of aura, with her arms folded across her chest, her draped purple hair swaying slightly, and her red pupils flashing with a light as if she was in control of everything, like a ruler at the top of the Demon King's Castle.

However, in Yuege's opinion, this scene was more like a cute girl immersed in the world of middle school.

She sighed, with an expression that said, "Never mind, that's all," and thought helplessly, "Okay... now I finally understand why Sakura-senpai and Watanabe-senpai had those expressions."

Chapter 91: Yazi Joins the Team

In the Yuze Coffee Shop, Ako Udagawa showed a meaningful smile on her face.

She slowly raised one hand, gently bent her ring finger and little finger, and spread out the remaining three fingers, showing some kind of ritual posture.
