Chapter 254: Shiori and Kaoru, Untying the Knot
Chapter 254, Shiori and Kaoru, untied the knot
The morning after the eve of the festival, after waking up, washing their faces, brushing their teeth, and having breakfast, Xue and Rina went to the club together.
After everyone arrived, they went to Shinonome Academy, the venue for the first day of the 2nd School Idol FES.
Just like the last School Idol FES, this event also went very smoothly.
Whether it was the school idols like Xue, ordinary students, or tourists who came here for the festival, they were all immersed in the joyful festival atmosphere.
Before we knew it, it was the fourth day of the idol festival, at the main venue of Shion Girls' Academy.
Like the previous few days, Yuki went to the event venue with Rina and other members of the club.
However, just as they arrived at Shion's door, a person who surprised both Xue and Rina appeared in front of them.
"elder sister?"
"Sister Feiying?"
After hearing what Xue and Rina said, the other members of the club except Xiao Mo were stunned for a moment, and then showed surprised expressions.
They had no idea that Xue and Rina actually had an older sister.
"Ah, you must be Koyuki and Rina's classmates in the school idol club, right? My name is Tennouji Hira, nice to meet you."
Feiying naturally noticed their surprised expressions and greeted them with a smile.
"Ah, yes, nice to meet you."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the club immediately began to introduce themselves.
"By the way, Sister Feiying, why are you here?"
Before Xue, our Rina asked Feiying why she appeared here.
"As for me, I came back to attend the cultural festival of my alma mater and to see an old friend I haven't seen in a while."
"Old friend?"
"Sister, are you my classmate?"
After Feiying mentioned this, Xue and Rina remembered that their sister spent three years of high school at Shion-jo.
"Right, huh? She's already here."
“Here here!!!”
Following Hiying's gaze, the curious Xue, Rina, and the others in the club turned around and saw that it was an acquaintance they often saw in Nijigasaki, Kaoru Mifune, an intern teacher who had just arrived in the music department.
"Mifune-sensei?"
"Good morning to everyone in the school idol club...wait."
Looking at Xue and Rina, Kaoru Mifune suddenly realized something and looked at Hiyakura who was smiling beside her.
"So Xue-san and Rina-san are your sisters, Hiyori-senpai?"
"Haha, you didn't expect that~"
"I really didn't expect it. I thought it was just a coincidence."
Listening to the conversation between Feiying and Mifune Kaoruko, everyone understood the relationship between the two.
……
Amidst the many activities of the cultural festival and the wonderful performances of the school idols, time flew by and it was noon.
Somewhere in the Ziyuan Girls' Teaching Building, members of the club gathered one after another at the pre-arranged location.
At the beginning, those who arrived first were still discussing what they saw and heard in the morning with laughter.
But soon, Yuu, Setsuna, Ayumu and Ai came over with sad faces for some reason, which made the people who arrived earlier a little worried.
"Why are you so sad? Did something happen?"
"this…"
Hearing this, the four of them looked at each other and told each other about how they had just met Kaoru Mifune, and after learning some past events from her, they ran to invite her sister Shiori to become the school idol, but were declined.
After hearing this, everyone showed an expression of "I see."
"Don't do things that are not in line with your own abilities, but give your all in things that suit you..."
"Although it certainly sounds like what Mifune-san would think..."
"It's her freedom to be a school idol or not..."
Everyone sighed in unison, and negative emotions gradually spread.
"Even so, I can't just leave her alone."
In the end, it was our brother You who was the first to cheer up a little.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at her.
"I think what she said is correct, such as just doing what's right for you or supporting everyone."
"But...if it goes on like this..."
Brother You paused for two seconds.
"Will she... regret this?"
"I think so."
Upon hearing this, Ayumu was the first to agree with Brother You's opinion.
"You guys are such a bunch of good guys~"
Guo Lin couldn't help but complain, even though she herself was also a member of the club who was a pushover.
"Let's convey our thoughts to Mifune-san once again!"
"Ok!"
Everyone nodded in unison. Shinoko, you've been targeted. Just join the club! (laughs)
……
After confirming the plan, everyone in the club quickly took action. Yu, Ayumu, Setsuna and Ai found Shiori first.
After some reluctance, our Shiori temporarily put aside her role as the event organizer and participated in the School Idol FES as an ordinary participant, starting a whole afternoon of happy fun.
Before they knew it, it was already dusk, and Yu and the other three brought her to the stage of Shion's idol FES.
Looking at the stage under the setting sun, Shiori seemed to understand something.
"This is where Mifune-san's dream started, right?"
I turned around after hearing the voice, and found that all the members of the club had arrived without me noticing.
"Mifune-san, please do what you want to do."
"I understand that Mifune-san values the work within her capabilities, and thanks to you, the idol festival was a great success."
"So, I hope we can support Mifune-san this time."
"The reason I can handle both the positions of school idol and student council president is because of the fan club, the student council, the fans, and Mifune-san."
"Because you're here."
"Just as you have given to us, we want to give to you."
"That's a given."
"By the way, do you know what day it is today?"
Zhizi was confused.
"Isn't today the fourth day of Idol FES?"
"That's true, but today, besides the idol festival..."
“…It’s also a day when everyone’s dreams come true.”
"Of course, this also includes you, Shinoko-san."
Shiori was stunned for a moment.
"If we can't realize the dream of hard-working Shiori-chan, then the School Idol Festival can't be considered a success~"
“My dream…”
Shinoko looked back at the stage. The words from the club members just now successfully touched her long-dormant heart for school idols... but it was only a touch.
"But, my sister still shed tears..."
“…I have been working hard for so long to realize my dream.”
"In the end... I still shed tears."
Shinoko remembered how her sister Kaoru cried after losing in the LoveLive preliminaries.
“She feels so much regret!!!”
"I don't regret it~"
At this moment, Xunzi, who had been secretly observing for a long time, stood up.
She didn't want her past failure, which was not a big deal, to affect her sister's admiration and desire for school idols.
“I was really unwilling to accept it at that time.”
“But now I feel…”
Kaoru smiled.
“Fortunately, I tried hard at that time~”
Shiori was stunned. Sister... don't you regret it?
"Whether it's the dazzling lights, the joy of singing, or the pride of being praised by your lovely sister, these are things that only those who have been a school idol can understand."
Shiori was silent.
"Just like Takasaki and the others said, I was able to live a happy high school life because you were there to support me."
“That’s why I’m a teacher now, hoping to be someone who can support many students and also support you.”
Shiori suddenly opened her eyes wide. So this is what her sister thinks...
"Didn't Mifune-san also feel a lot of happiness after watching her sister perform?"
At this moment, most of the knot in her heart was untied, and a faint smile appeared on Shiori's lips.
"Yes, my sister gave me many exciting memories at that time."
"I also used to think that those memories were meaningless in the face of reality... That's how it should be..."
Shiori looked at everyone in the club.
"I'm starting to feel like supporting you all, maybe just because I don't want to leave the school idol community."
"But... can I really do it?"
Shiori is a little unconfident. Can she really become a school idol?
"It's okay, we're all here with you."
"Try to believe in the throbbing in Mifune-san's heart~"
"When you have the desire to try, don't you already have the aptitude?"
"Besides, how can you know if it works if you don't try?"
After hearing what everyone said, Shiori took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage in front of her step by step.
Her heart knot was completely untied, and she wanted to try once, to experience the scenery that her sister had once seen.
So now, RTX ON!
……
Soon, Shiori took her first step and her first LIVE ended.
Although her movements were not very skillful, everyone present could clearly feel her genuine enthusiasm.
"How was my performance?"
Shiori looked at Kaoru expectantly.
“It still takes a lot of practice, but I really like it~”
Shiori smiled sincerely and turned to look at everyone in the club.
"Thank you very much, everyone."
"Well, I..."
"Want to appear on stage tomorrow?"
Hearing Emma's words, Shiori shook her head.
"No, during the idol festival, I will do my duty wholeheartedly as usual."
"But, after the idol festival is over, can I join the club?"
"Of course, Shinoko-san!"
Setsuna pounced on Shioriko, with Aijie following closely behind.
"Please give me your guidance from now on, Shiori~"
Xiao Xia Xia naturally would not miss the group hug.
"Xiaxia will also teach Yanzi the basics of school idols~"
"Zhizhi? Yanzi?"
Shiori is not opposed to the nicknames given to her by Aijie and Xiaoxiaxia.
Looking at the four people hugging each other, everyone present laughed out loud.
but……
Xue looked at someone not far from the stage and said, "Lanzhu, don't be anxious. Neither you nor Mia can escape."
