Sayo knew that if she agreed, Hinata would definitely rely on her tirelessly as usual, and she would be dragged around again.
However, Hinata didn't notice Saya's subtle change in mood. Her eyes were still shining, and her face was full of anticipation: "That's great! I can go to the school festival with my sister."
Looking at Hikawa Hina's happy expression, Hikawa Sayo lowered her head slightly and her eyes unconsciously avoided it.
She knew that no matter how she reacted, Ricai's passion would never be extinguished.
"In that case...let her enjoy herself for a while."
Saya thought silently in her heart, looking for excuses for her compromise with a hint of helplessness.
Although she felt a little resistant in her heart, she couldn't say no to Hinata's smile. It seemed that every time in front of her, her cold shell was like melting ice and snow, with no resistance at all.
"I'm only doing this for Tsukika's sake, and definitely not because of Hina."
She sighed softly to comfort herself.
Although she repeatedly told herself to keep her distance and try not to be infected by Hinai's enthusiasm, she knew that this self-comfort was no longer so true.
She raised her head, her eyes unconsciously falling on Hina's happy face, and a complex emotion suddenly rose in her heart.
That innocent smile seems to be able to heal all indifference and alienation.
Even though she always acted cold and tried to avoid getting close to Hinaya, every time she saw her completely defenseless look, Sayo's inner defenses would quietly loosen.
"I told you to be firm with Hinata...why are you softening so quickly?"
Sayo felt a little annoyed, her brows slightly furrowed, and she couldn't help biting her lips hard.
"Sister, is there any place you want to see?" Seeing that Sayo was silent, Hina blinked her bright big eyes and continued to ask, with some anticipation in her voice.
Hikawa Sayo pursed her lips and lowered her head to think for a while.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Hmm... let's go to the student union first. I want to see what the student union looks like now."
------------------
On the campus of Hanasakigawa Girls' Junior High School, Ichigaya Arisaki hurried out of the teacher's office, looking anxious and with a slightly furrowed brow.
She carefully glanced around for a while, and after confirming that there was no discipline committee member around, she gradually quickened her pace.
She trotted across the cobblestone path of the campus, her shoes tapping lightly on the ground, her backpack swinging back and forth as she ran. Her eyes glanced towards the school gate, her heartbeat quickening as she muttered softly, "Can't be late... Can't be late..."
The security guard stood at the door of the security booth, watching a yellow flash pass by his eyes. He reacted instantly, quickly put down the magazine in his hand, shook off his lazy posture and prepared to chase.
"Wait!" he shouted, his eyes fixed on Arisaki's back.
But compared to the physically weak Arisaki Ichigaya, the security guard's physical strength doesn't seem to be much better.
He gritted his teeth, still refusing to give up. But after running a few steps, he finally succumbed to exhaustion and stopped. He held onto the wall with both hands, bent over, and gasped. "Hu...Hu..."
"Really... why are there so many people asking for leave and skipping classes today..." He lowered his head and smiled bitterly, as if even he himself was a little helpless.
--------------
There will be an additional chapter in the evening
Chapter 129: Senior Sister Sayo... It's impossible for her to skip class, right?
"Ah! I'm so tired of the school festival!"
Inside the student union office, the helpless and irritated complaints could be clearly heard through the door, and the voices were filled with a hint of impatience.
"That's not what you said last year, is it?" Another voice came over, with a slight smile in the tone, sounding like a joke.
"That's because I didn't join the student council last year!"
The first voice instantly became dissatisfied, with a hint of complaint, "At that time, I was just enjoying the school festival, watching the excitement, eating some delicious food, and playing games. Who knew that this year I would be forced to participate and be so busy!"
Saya stood at the door of the student union office, listening to the complaints coming from inside. Her hand had already reached out for the door handle, and her fingertips lightly touched the cold metal.
However, when she heard those voices, her movements suddenly paused for a moment, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.
She suddenly changed her mind.
Saya gently released her hand that was holding the door handle, stretched out her fingers, and knocked lightly on the door panel.
"Hello! May I come in?"
The sounds inside the door suddenly became hurried, as if the rhythm was broken by her sudden knock on the door, followed by a burst of rapid whispers and the sound of rummaging through things.
After a moment, a voice, barely able to regain its composure, came from inside the door in a slightly panicked tone: "Come in."
Hina stood aside, watching Saya's actions, a hint of confusion on her face: "What is sister doing?" There was a bit of curiosity in her eyes, and she seemed completely unable to understand why Saya knocked on the door so cautiously.
"I just want to take a look at the situation of this year's student union." Saya answered as she pushed open the door and walked in.
The moment the door was fully opened, everyone inside saw Saya's appearance.
The girl sitting in the main seat was stunned for a moment, then stood up almost subconsciously, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, "Ah! Sayo-senpai? Why are you here?"
There was a hint of surprise in her voice, but she quickly regained her polite demeanor.
"Just stopping by to take a look." Saya's voice remained calm, her eyes sweeping over the interior layout of the student union. Her gaze moved slowly around the office, carefully observing the details.
Although there were some miscellaneous items scattered on the ground, the overall layout hadn't changed much since she left. She couldn't help but frown slightly, but she felt a sense of comfort in her heart.
"I want to come and participate in the school festival, and I also want to see what the student council is like."
Just as she was gathering her thoughts, Hinata's little head suddenly popped out from behind her with a lively expression, "Hinata-chan, there's me too!"
"Hina-senpai!" When seeing Hina, Hinata's expression seemed much gentler, even more friendly than when he treated Saya.
A hint of relief flashed in her eyes, and her tone was much softer than before, "Why are you here too?"
Some of the younger-looking students sitting around exchanged curious glances, then couldn't help but whisper to the seniors beside them, "Saya-senpai? Hinata-senpai?"
The senior next to him explained in a low voice, "Well... they were the student council president and vice president for the previous two terms. When they were in office, the student council was very popular with the school. The fact that we have so much funding for the school festival now is inseparable from their efforts."
There was a hint of respect in her voice, and it was clear that Sayo and Hinata still held highly respected positions in the student council.
"Although it's still a little messy, it seems to be quite organized. At least it's not as chaotic as before." Saya stood at the door of the student union, her eyes slowly sweeping across the room, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.
Although there were still some messy piles in the office, with books and documents scattered on the desk, and occasionally some scattered papers that had not been filed in time, this was a huge improvement compared to the situation when she took over the student union.
When she first took over the student union, the situation was a mess. The previous presidents thought that the elementary school student union had nothing to do, so the materials and books on the cabinets were all in a mess.
It took Saya and Hinata more than a year to finally get the student council back on track.
Now that she is a student again, she can see that her efforts have not been in vain, at least she has not returned to her previous situation, and she is already very satisfied.
"Saya-senpai, would you like to go to the school festival with me?" President Hyuga asked Hikawa Saya while stuffing a pile of messy papers in the drawer into the drawer to avoid Saya seeing them.
"No need, Hinata and I can just go for a walk. Don't you guys still have things to do?" Saya rejected the other party's proposal.
"See you later, Hinata-chan!" Hinata immediately followed behind Sayo, waving playfully to the students in the office with a bright smile.
As the door gently closed, the atmosphere in the office instantly became quiet. The students who had worked with Saya breathed a sigh of relief.
"Saya-senpai is still under so much pressure." One of them said helplessly.
"But Senior Sayo didn't come last year? Why did she come this year only?" Another classmate asked curiously, with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She turned her head to look at her companion, as if looking for an answer.
"I don't know..." Another person shook his head, a hint of doubt on his face, "Anyway, Sayo-senpai is always busy, I didn't expect her to find time to come today."
Suddenly, one of the students' eyes lit up, as if something had suddenly occurred to him: "Ah! Oh, right, it seems that Satsuki Uta is going to perform at the school festival this year?"
"So you're here to see your sister!" another classmate exclaimed, with a hint of sudden enlightenment in his tone.
"But..." One student frowned and looked up at the others, "It seems that Hanasakigawa and Haneda aren't on holiday yet, right? Why is Sayo-senpai here?"
Everyone fell silent and looked at each other for a while, seemingly thinking about this question.
"Hmm... maybe the seniors asked for leave?" Finally, someone spoke, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone, but as if trying to use this explanation to resolve all doubts.
"That should be it!"
Several people were silent for a moment, and then nodded. It was not because this answer convinced them, but because this answer was more reasonable. At least it would not destroy the image of their predecessors in their minds.
After all, the extremely serious senior Hikawa Sayo skipped class just to watch the younger sisters' performance. No matter how you think about it, it's unlikely, right?

Chapter 1
Chapter 130 We Can't Form a Band Together
"Ugh...ah...I'm going to die..." Ichigaya Yusaki gasped for breath and ran towards the gate of Yuege School with almost all his strength.
Her steps were a little messy, her shoes made rapid "pa pa" sounds on the ground, sweat dripped down her forehead, and she could almost feel every cell in her body sending out warnings of fatigue.
The backpack behind her kept shaking as she ran, causing her body to sway from side to side, and even making her feel like her shoulders were about to dislocate.
As a typical stay-at-home girl, Yusaki Ichigaya hardly does any exercise all year round. Running at this intensity is a "test of life and death" for her.
After receiving the message from Yusaki, Yuege, who had been waiting at the school gate early, saw her jogging towards her and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
She waved her hands excitedly and shouted enthusiastically, "Ah! Arisaki-senpai! Over here, over here!"
When Yusaki Ichigaya saw Yuege's familiar smile, his tense heartstrings finally relaxed.
Her steps relaxed, and then her feet went soft, her body lost balance, and she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Her ankle twisted slightly, her center of gravity lost, and she almost fell forward.
Just when she was about to fall, Yue Ge rushed over quickly, quickly reached out to hold her shoulders and held her steadily.
Yue Ge's palms felt a little warm, and her body was involuntarily pulled back to balance by Yue Ge's strength.
"Are you okay?" Yue Ge asked worriedly.
Ichigaya Yusaki shook her head, her legs weakened, and she could barely stand. She raised her hand weakly, her fingers trembling slightly as she spoke, "Water...water..."
------------
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr."
Backstage at the performance, Yusaki Ichigaya drank from the water bottle in her hand almost without any scruples, the water flowing rapidly into her mouth.
Yue Ge stood by and frowned when she saw her crazy way of drinking water. She reminded her in a gentle but slightly worried tone: "Arisaki-senpai... don't drink too fast..."
"Ha!" Arisaki finally put down the empty bottle in his hand and took a deep breath. His breathing was a little rapid and his chest heaved violently.
An expression of relief instantly appeared on her face, her eyes showing a bit of fatigue, but also a sense of relief and satisfaction. "Finally alive."
"Arisaki-senpai...are you okay?" Takamatsu Deng stood aside, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes. He looked at Ichigaya Arisaki nervously, as if he was a little at a loss for a moment.
Ichigaya Yusaki took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down his heavy breathing: "It's okay... I just haven't exercised in a while, and my legs are a bit tired from running all at once."
"There's still an hour before the performance starts. Does Arisaki-senpai want to rehearse a few more times?" Hachiman Kailing looked up at the program schedule in her hand and asked softly.
"Huh?" Ichigaya Yusaki was visibly taken aback when he heard Hailing's words. His eyes widened in shock. "Didn't you say it starts at three o'clock?"
"Well..." Hai Ling explained calmly, "The stage performance starts at three o'clock, and we won't officially go on stage until four twenty."
"Yazi, you are still helping in class." Yue Ge took over the conversation.
"Then... why did I take leave and run here so hard for? " Ichigaya Yusaki felt severe pain in his legs and looked like he had lost all hope in life.
"Hmm..." Yue Ge stood nearby, looking at Arisaki's despairing look, and revealed a subtle expression, "To exercise?"
Ichigaya Yusaki raised his head and complained, "Exercise... but I feel like it's more like wasting my life points..."
At this moment, a clear voice came from outside the door: "Ah! It's here! Sister, come quickly!"
Hikawa Hina pushed open the door of the stadium preparation room and stuck her head in.
"Hina, I've told you many times not to be so loud." Hikawa Sayo stood at the door, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Senior Saya?" When Arisaki Ichigaya saw Saya's figure, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Hanasakigawa should still have half an hour before school is over.
A hint of doubt arose in Ichigaya Yusaki's heart, and his eyes unconsciously lingered on Saya for a few seconds.
"Sister Sayo! Sister Hina! Why are you here so early?" Yue Ge stepped forward to greet the two.
Saya was about to make an excuse to cover it up, but before she could open her mouth, Hinata easily took the lead and said without any concealment: "Because Saya-nee and I both wanted to come and see Tsukune earlier! So I asked for leave."
"Hina!" When Sayo heard Hina's blunt words, her cheeks instantly flushed slightly, and there was a hint of shyness in her eyes.
When Yue Ge saw this scene, a gentle light unconsciously flashed in her eyes, and a pure and brilliant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She approached gently, her tone filled with surprise and gratitude, "Sister Saya, Sister Hinaya, thank you!"
