People in Zongman are masters of copying romance novels

Under the curious gazes of the people queuing behind him, Aokisuke called the girl whose face was still blushing and returned to the direction of the dolphin show.

They had originally agreed to go together so it would be more convenient to get it when they came back, but on the way back, Hongxia was still extremely shy, so she didn't notice that Aokisuke was carrying five drinks by himself. She just followed behind Aokisuke half a step behind, with a bright blush on her face.

It was not until she was halfway there that Hong Xia finally came to her senses and realized what was happening.

"Aoki-senpai, that cold drink...let me take half too."

"Oh." Aokijie glanced at Hongxia, then nodded and handed Hongxia two cold drinks.

He simply responded and didn't say anything else.

They continued walking for a while, and then, Hong Xia, who was still half a step behind Aoki Jie, spoke again.

The voice still had a little bit of a stutter, and the girl looked at Aokisuke in front of her.

"Um... Aoki-senpai, wouldn't it bother you a little if someone mistakenly thought you were in a relationship with me?"

"Troubled?" Aokijie was a little confused, and paused for a moment until he was parallel to Hongxia, and then he spoke again.

"It's definitely not a problem, but I'm a little worried that you might be troubled by this..."

"No, no, I just said that loudly because I was embarrassed..."

"Hmm—I can see that Ijichi-san is quite cute when he's shy."

Aokisuke nodded in response.

Then, when the voice reached Hong Xia's ears, the blush on her face, which had finally faded away, suddenly climbed up to her earlobes.

......

We watched a dolphin show at the Dolphin Show, had grilled fish rice at noon, and took a quick stroll in the afternoon.

Before leaving, Kita spent a lot of money on the commemorative seal doll in the claw machine.

But in the end, the seal doll was not caught up.

Anyway, around two o'clock in the afternoon, several people left the aquarium.

Then, when we went to the luggage storage to retrieve our luggage——

Because he only brought a guitar and a few sets of clothes, Aokisuke acted quickly.

While waiting, he suddenly remembered the pictures of deep-sea anglerfish he had taken in the aquarium.

So he opened Line, clicked on the contact "Strange Bassist", and sent the picture he had just taken.

By the way, he added a sentence "It's so ugly, but I feel that you will like it, Miss Liang."

And the other side.

After taking out the luggage, Liang heard a message alert on his phone and took the phone out of his pocket.

I unlocked the screen and opened Line, and then I saw several messages sent by Aokisuke at a glance.

He blinked and looked at the picture of the deep-sea anglerfish for a while, then shifted his gaze to the last sentence.

[Strange Suki-san: She's so ugly, but I feel like you'd like her, Ms. Liang.]

He lifted the bass bag on his shoulder, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He was about to reply as he tapped the screen with his fingers, but a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears, interrupting Yamada Ryo.

"That—Liang."

Hongxia, carrying a bag, came close to Liang and spoke.

There was a hint of doubt in his voice, and also a bit of inexplicable, barely perceptible nervousness.

"I've heard Kita mention it before, so I'm a little curious... Um, um, Ryo, are you and Aoki-senpai dating?"

He lowered his eyes to look at the phone in his hand, then raised his eyes to look at his friends around him.

Liang simply shook his head, "No."

"Is it a misunderstanding?"

"Because I played a joke with Kita that seemed a bit excessive before, she may have been misunderstanding me." Liang explained in a lazy voice with no fluctuation in tone.

"Well, well... I'm just a little curious, so I'm asking... does Ryo like Aoki-senpai, or does Aoki-senpai like Ryo... I mean, a relationship that's better than friendship..."

The blue-haired girl blinked again.

She was silent for a moment, then continued to shake her head.

"No."

Chapter 60: Daily routine on Tuesday without going to school (3k)

Tuesday, after returning to Tokyo from Kyoto.

Unlike Hongxia and the others, Aokisuke didn't just take a day off—

Last Friday, just before the end of school, he went straight to the teacher's office to find Shizuka Hiratsuka and said hello to her in advance, "Although I don't know the deadline, I will rush back to school after I finish my business."

As the top student in the grade, he naturally enjoys some privileges, not to mention that Aoki Susuke definitely has a good relationship with Hiratsuka Shizuka.

So even though she was verbally reprimanded, naturally, Shizuka Hiratsuka readily agreed to Aoki Suke's somewhat unreasonable request for leave.

The topic returns to Tuesday.

The reason why Aokisuke didn't go to school on Tuesday was obviously not because he had other things to do.

In fact, after returning to Tokyo by train yesterday afternoon, all matters related to the [PVC Original Music Project] were completed, except for waiting for the organizer to send the rankings to the mailbox.

There is no need to take time off to wait for the organizer to send the rankings to your email.

but--

Considering that he had already learned everything the teachers in school were teaching, and that he finally had some free time after being extremely busy in recent days, Aoki Jie hesitated for a long time while lying in bed last night. Finally, he decided to rest at home for another day.

In short, at nine o'clock on Tuesday morning, without setting an alarm, Aoki Jie slept until he woke up naturally.

After getting up in a daze, he first looked around for his cell phone. When he didn't find it the first time, he got up again and went to wash up in his pajamas.

The cold water splashing on his face made Aokisuke feel a little more alert. After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he returned to his bed and found his cell phone.

I clearly put it aside to charge last night, but for some reason, when I got up early in the morning, my phone inexplicably ended up under my pillow.

As far as Aokijie was concerned, he didn't have the habit of not sleeping well...

Let’s not talk about this for now.

I rubbed my eyes and turned on the phone screen, but before I could unlock it, messages came pouring in.

Most of them were advertising push notifications or private message reminders from YouTube. After quickly browsing through them, Aoki Jie found a message that required a reply.

Hikigaya: Why didn't you come to school today? Are you sick?

Hikigaya: If you don't mind, I'll come visit you tomorrow.

The contact information of Hachiman Hikigaya was added accidentally during a previous chat. Aokisuke still has a slight impression of the conversation that day - the first half was probably about Hugo's "Les Miserables", and the second half should be about the light novel "Relying on the Disliked [Abnormal Status Skill] to Become the Strongest, I Finally Destroy Everything" which was just released this year.

Let's not talk about how the two of them talked about Hugo and then talked about light novels about a different world. Aokisuke scratched his head and yawned, and then he put away his active thoughts after just waking up. He looked at the message sent by Hikigaya Hachiman on Line, thought for a while, and then replied.

[It's not because I'm sick, I just had some things to do, so I took a few days off.]

[No need to visit, I'm going back to school tomorrow, but if you absolutely must come, remember to bring some snacks. I'm craving chocolate daifuku lately.]

After editing your message, click Send.

It was around nine o'clock, which was right around the end of the first class, so not long after the message was sent, a reply came quickly from Line.

However, Hikigaya did not respond to Aoki's two nonsensical remarks above, but replied with a question in a questioning tone with obvious shock in the message.

Hikigaya: I think I know why you didn't come to school yesterday... Hey Aoki, I never realized you were that music blogger who's been going viral on YouTube lately?!

Looking at the message popping up on the screen, Aoki Jie was a little confused.

I didn't use a voice changer, and my voice when I sang and played wasn't much different from my normal speaking voice. And Hikigaya had seen the same guitar before, exactly like the one in the video, so...why wouldn't he be able to tell? And why was this connected to my absence from school yesterday?

So Aokisuke replied again,

"I'm Suki-san? I thought you knew that all along. Isn't it easy to tell just by listening to my voice? So what does this have to do with me not coming to school yesterday?"

After sending the message and waiting for a moment, Hikigaya Hachiman gave an explanation.

Hikigaya: No, I hadn't watched your videos before, but today I saw your live video from Kyoto yesterday.

【Hikigaya: Website link】

"..."

Aokisuke was stunned for a moment, then clicked on the video sent by Hikigaya with a little curiosity.

The video is titled ['Suki-san' and her band perform "Loser" live, it's amazing!] and is a bit long.

After clicking on the video, I subconsciously checked the number of views. It has been viewed nearly two million times.

Aoki Jie was surprised for a moment.

Although he was quite confident about finishing the band's live performance yesterday, he really didn't expect that a video of a live performance would be played this many times in just a day or so.

A little too exaggerated.

This video was probably posted by an audience member at the event. It is really unbelievable that it became so popular in just one day without any fan base.

Surprised, he clicked the play button.

The video started playing and Aokisuke took a quick look at it.

Because the audience recorded it on the spot with their mobile phones, the video is not clear and the audio is also somewhat unsatisfactory.

But the good thing is that the lively atmosphere of the scene was also captured.

There is absolutely no problem with the live as a whole, but if it is just a simple video, even if it is just a coincidence, it should not have this amount of views. His curiosity deepened, so after playing the video once, Aoki Jie turned to the comment section.

Then, at first glance, he noticed the most popular comment.

The user who posted the comment was nicknamed 'Flowers Under the Starry Sky', and Aoki Jie was deeply impressed by this person.

An animation director with a large number of fans and a wide reputation in the animation industry, he is known as an 'animation artist'.

But these related honors were not the reason why Aokisuke was so impressed with him——

The parallel world is something very mysterious. Aoki Jie had never studied quantum mechanics in his previous life, so he couldn't understand it.

He only knew that in this world where he was reborn, some of his works from his previous life had disappeared without a trace, but some of them had been inexplicably preserved.

For example, the director nicknamed "Flowers Under the Starry Sky" has produced works such as "The Garden of Words" and "5 Centimeters per Second"...

in other words.

This director, nicknamed "Flowers Under the Starry Sky", although his name is different, is undoubtedly the "Makoto Shinkai" from another world.

Therefore, Aoki Suke was deeply impressed by this director.

After seeing this comment, Aoki Jie's curiosity about "why this video suddenly became popular" was slightly dispelled.

As mentioned before, 'Flowers Under the Starry Sky' has a huge fan base.

When a public figure praises a certain work in a certain video, it will naturally attract the attention of netizens.

In addition, there was indeed no problem with Aoki Iku's performance of "Loser" yesterday, so this video with a very long title was able to reach this number of views in a short period of time.

This situation can be regarded as a well-known animation director increasing his exposure...

After silently thanking the director of "Flowers Under the Starry Sky" in his heart and clearing his mind, Aoki Jie turned off the video.

Hikigaya didn't send any more messages. Since he had already opened YouTube, he might as well check his private messages again, so Aokisuke opened his personal background again.

The number of private messages in the background is ridiculous.

However, although the video of himself playing "Loser" with the band has become popular, it is obvious that the influence of the video has not yet reached its peak.

Therefore, Aoki Jie's private messages in the background, as usual, are mostly ordinary users praising his singing skills and the top quality of his songs.

But among these private messages, there were also a few different ones.

Just like...

He flipped through the pages until he saw the nickname he had seen several times in a short period of time, and Aokisuke stopped.

I clicked on the reply page and saw the message sent by that user.

[Flowers under the Starry Sky: Hello, Teacher Suki.]
