The losers in daily youth have all become witches

At this time, the ice cream balls are slowly melting at the temperature of the baked muffins, sparkling under the light, as if they were filtered with a high saturation filter, which looks quite appetizing.

"Your looks delicious."

Kaname Rakuna held a fork in her mouth and stared at the timid Goto Ichiri with a look as if a cat had spotted a mouse.

The latter trembled even more violently. Reluctantly, she pushed the plate in front of her toward the girl, bent down and almost lay down on the bar, and said humbly: "Please, please..."

The little wild cat seemed to have no idea how to spell the word "politeness". It really wanted to poke Goto Ichiri's toasted pancake to eat it, but Li Mo held its forehead.

"Don't steal other people's food!"

He said, then looked at Goto Ichiri with some resignation: "And Ichiritsu, don't give in so easily to the younger generation. They look like junior high school students, and you're already a high school student, okay?"

"Yes, but..."

Goto Ichiri made a hesitant sound.

"I want to eat that."

Kaname Lenai said it very directly.

"Okay, okay, I'll prepare another one for you. What flavor of ice cream do you want?"

Li Mo sighed and said.

"Matcha."

The girl answered without hesitation.

"We don't have that kind of trendy stuff in this store."

Li Mo stared at the girl and said.

"Armstrong."

Kaname Rakuna said in a very confident tone.

“Do you have ice cream of this flavor?”

Goto Ichiri's head was full of question marks.

"Rum raisin, right? I get it."

Li Mo answered without hesitation.

"So you just can't remember the name and are just making it up... Speaking of which, compared to matcha, this flavor is the most fashionable, right?"

Ms. Pochi looked at Kaname with a satisfied look on her face and couldn't help but murmur softly.

"Guitar."

Kaname Lenai suddenly said to her.

"what?"

Goto Ichiri had a blank expression.

"band?"

The cat girl then asked.

Goto Ichiri confirmed that the other party was talking to him before nodding: "Yes, I Am!"

"That kid just speaks briefly, he's not a foreigner whose Japanese is terrible."

Li Mo complained.

"But I really don't understand what she's talking about... Ugh, I'm being stared at with those scary eyes again..."

Goto Ichiri said in a low voice with a sad face.

But this time, Yami Lenai didn't say anything. She just stuffed the not-so-big pancake into her mouth in a few bites. Suddenly, her cheeks became puffy like a chipmunk filled with pine cones, and she looked extremely cute.

The girl put down the plate with only syrup and butter residue left, opened the guitar case beside her, and hung the guitar inside on herself.

Goto Ichiri's guitar was passed down from her father. Although the girl has taken good care of it, it looks very old.

But this level of antiquity pales in comparison to Lenai's guitar. The cat girl's guitar completely leaves one with a sense of, "Why is this guitar still functional?", "This guitar is probably even older than this child," and "Is this equipment okay?"

Then, Kaname started playing the guitar.

It's like an impromptu solo, but you can hear the tunes of some popular songs nowadays. It should be just a casual performance by the girl.

After admiring him for a moment, Li Mo roughly determined the other party's level.

He is more skilled than the average high school band guitarist, with excellent technique and musical sense.

If I must say, it's probably somewhere between the "rollover" and "serious" parts, and a bit stronger than the "half-ripe mango mask" part.

"joy."

After playing for a while, Yao Lenai put the guitar back into the guitar case and started eating the ice cream waffle that Li Mo prepared for her.

But the strange-colored eyes were still staring at Goto Ichiri.

Goto Ichiri looked at Li Mo and found that he was giving him an expression that said "real man, cute and silly".

So she had no choice but to take out her guitar, and after hesitating for a while, she played the latest new song of the End Band.

Kaname Rakuna, who was eating a pancake, listened for a moment, then looked at Goto Ichiri in surprise with a fork in her mouth, as if to say, "I have to sit up and listen."

The song is over.

"Yili, your playing is much better than before."

Li Mo couldn't help but applaud. It wasn't that Goto Ichiri's guitar skills improved so quickly - in fact, it was very difficult for her to make further progress at her level, and she could only rely on hard work accumulated over time with experience - but before, Ichiri could only perform at 30% or 50% of her strength in front of others, but now, even when being stared at by strangers, she can still consistently perform at more than 60% of her strength, which is indeed much better than before.

It seems that the frequent failures in STARRY... well, I mean, regular Live training does have a very positive effect on the performance of girls.

The cat girl showed a look of surprise, as if a cat saw its prey, which made Goto Ichiri a little scared.

"Interesting female—"

She seemed to remember something when she said this, and then she continued: "Girls!"

Chapter 295: Acute specific connective tissue necrosis.

Yukinoshita Yukino@I can't get excited.

Although she boasted that she would help her classmate Toyokawa Shoko, she still has no idea how to do it.

Could it be that they're really going to do what Asakura said and make Toyokawa-san an idol...?

Regardless of whether Toyokawa Shoko agrees or not, the act of "becoming an idol" itself is probably not that simple.

Even Yukinoshita Yukino, who knew nothing about the industry, had heard about the level of internal competition in the idol industry and its brutal elimination rate. Compared to the handful of successful people who reached the top and enjoyed the spotlight from all over the country and even the world, the idol industry was more populated by losers who were trampled underfoot like stepping stones, and who could only end up in a mess even if they spent their entire youth without any improvement.

The vast majority of them were not able to officially debut until they retired, and were just so-called underground idols.

Yukinoshita Yukino's life has not been smooth sailing, so she can better understand how difficult this path will be.

If you think about it carefully, the purpose of the Service Club is 'it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish'. At this moment, Toyokawa Shoko is indeed practicing 'fishing' to the best of her ability. According to the philosophy of the Service Club, there is actually no need to intervene. Perhaps, just as Asakura had originally thought, this commission itself was wrong.

Curled up on the sofa at home, Yukinoshita Yukino felt genuinely tired. She stretched out her arms, which were as white as lotus roots, held the remote control in her hand and turned on the TV.

"...Regarding the recent disappearance rumors, let's interview Ms. Urushihara of Yanagi Shrine..."

Beep.

"...According to the World Health Organization's announcement, the strange disease that has recently appeared in China is not actually contagious. There's no need to panic..."

Beep.

"...The truth behind the Mt. Kumotori fire! Mass hysteria, a mirage, or perhaps the extremely rare Sea of ​​Japan aurora..."

Beep.

"...A modern-day bipedal monster cat has appeared in Chiba! Experts say it may be a mutant product of a nuclear accident..."

"Bullshit."

Yukinoshita Yukino lost interest and threw the remote control aside.

The noisy TV news and advertisements are like the chirping of cicadas outside the window, chattering incessantly and adding to the irritable summer heat.

Just as the girl was about to fall asleep while her consciousness gradually faded due to the cool air-conditioning, the sudden ringing of the phone startled her awake.

She yawned slightly, picked up her phone and found that it was her mother calling. Her eyes, which were originally a little confused, suddenly became clear and her sleepiness flew away.

Was he trying to get her to attend another high-society dinner? Or was he just asking her about her academic performance as a matter of routine? Or was he hinting that she didn't like the service club she founded and wanted her to disband it and focus on her studies?

No matter how she thought of the conclusion, it was not the type that could make the girl feel at ease.

She sighed and roared in her heart, but still answered the phone.

"It's been a long time since I last greeted you, mother..."

Before Yukinoshita Yukino could figure out how to deal with her mother, the words coming from the other side made her stunned.

【Yang Nai is sick, please come back and see her. 】

"My sister..."

Yukinoshita Yukino's voice became a little sharper.

But the girl soon calmed down.

With the financial resources of the Yukinoshita family, unless it is an incurable terminal illness, it will not be a big problem as long as it is discovered in time.

"What's wrong with her?"

Acute specific connective tissue necrosis.

"Acute...what?"

Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't wrap her mind around it for a moment.

[A strange disease has recently appeared in China.]

Mrs. Yukinoshita's voice on the other end of the line paused. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt her usually graceful mother's voice seemed a little choked up. [The current survival rate is zero.]

Yukino froze. An indescribable chill slowly crept from her fingertips to her body, and then was pumped to every limb by her heart, leaving her completely frozen.

An inexplicable sense of unreality enveloped the girl, but she still tried to appear less shaken.

"I...I understand. I'll be right back!"

[Yang No is in the hospital now, the address is...]

Mrs. Yukinoshita gave out a string of addresses.

Normally, Yukino would be able to react naturally. It is indeed unlikely that a person who has just been diagnosed with a serious illness can go home directly. He should still be hospitalized for observation.

It's just that the news shocked the girl so much that her brain seemed to have crashed, stuck there, unable to move forward or backward, and completely unable to think seriously.

She was so confused that she didn't have time to think about it. She took her phone and wallet and ran out to take a taxi.

Although the address given by Mrs. Yukinoshita could be reached in a short walk after taking the train, Yukino didn't want to wait for the train or waste time walking, so she took a taxi and went straight to the hospital.

According to the address provided by her mother, the girl quickly found the ward where her sister was staying.

But after pushing the door open and going in, Yukino found that the situation inside was completely different from what she expected, such as "people's faces were ashen", "Yonano, motionless", and "the air was as heavy as substance".

At this time, Yang No was leaning against the head of the bed, holding the paperback that Yukino often read and reading it carefully. The afterglow of the setting sun cast a layer of soft orange filter on her body, making the face of the girl who always wore a mask and was used to it naturally have a bit more real and realistic taste.

The whole picture looks peaceful and beautiful, without any trace of despair or depression associated with the word "terminal illness".

"elder sister……"

Yukino couldn't help but whispered.

"Xueno, you're here."

Yukinoshita Haruno put down the book she was reading to kill time and looked at her sister: "Really, I asked mom not to tell you..."

She looked very healthy and didn't look sick at all, which even made Yukino think that it was all just a misdiagnosis by the hospital.

"Sister, your illness..."

She confirmed with her sister with difficulty.

"Yeah, it's true."

Yukinoshita Haruno gave a helpless smile, turned around and took off her hospital gown.

On her fair and smooth back, there was an ugly and strange lump, which was extremely conspicuous and made people feel physically uncomfortable just by looking at it.
