I, Minami Kotori, Son of the Sun

"Maki-san, don't leave after school this morning. I'll meet you on the rooftop." Honoka patted the girl's shoulder with an air of superiority.

Umi smirked and performed facial expressions again: "Honoka, your art of speaking is really good."

It makes them look like social delinquents.

"Well, we don't mean anything, don't worry." Nan Xiaoniao had no choice but to speak and gave a friendly smile, indicating that they really had no ill intentions.

Three second-grade students came to the lower grade classroom looking for someone in a threatening manner. If it were in other animation dramas, there would probably be a bloody battle.

Fortunately, this is the Love Live world where peace is paramount. Except for street fights between the Black Knight and strange monsters, the world as a whole is very peaceful.

Wait, is there something really important that was glossed over?

Maki nodded helplessly. Even though she already knew what Kousaka Honoka was thinking, she had to go.

It’s just like the Hongmen Banquet where Xiang Yu invited Liu Bang. It doesn’t seem appropriate to say this. In short, we should still respect our predecessors.

Although she doesn't care much about interpersonal relationships, she doesn't want her high school life to become too rigid.

The morning class ended quickly, and when the appointed time came, Nishinoki Maki calmed down a little and opened the iron door leading to the rooftop.

The trio stood with their backs to her, their skirts flying in the wind.

Campus idols? I have to admit that these guys are quite good-looking, not inferior to me.

"I'm here, and now." Nishinoki Maki shrugged. Of course she couldn't say this out loud. Praising others in person was not in line with her personality.

"Nishinoki-san, we came to see you because we want to ask you..." Honoka put on a flattering smile and moved close to Nishikino Maki, with their noses almost touching.

"No!" The contact was so close that one could almost see the other's eyelashes. Maki Nishinoki blushed and said loudly no like a stressed kitten.

"Eh? I haven't told you yet." Honoka looked depressed.

"You can imagine, I'm not good at composing music." She curled her fingers and played with the long pink hair hanging on her shoulders.

"Could it be that you can only play the piano but not compose music?" Honoka blinked and said deliberately.

"How can it not be possible? In short, it's impossible." Maki said this, turned around and left without saying anything else.

"No means no." Honoka imitated Maki's speech in a funny way, "She's just as difficult as Umi."

Umi curled her lips in annoyance: "What's so difficult about it? This is the normal reaction."

"Then let's start choosing songs now." Seeing that the two were about to go all out again, Kotori quickly intervened, "Hey, Umi, what kind of song do you think would be good?"

Bai Li was watching from the side and felt that it was just like the father playing the good cop and the mother playing the bad cop: "It's better for you three to live a good life."

"Brother Bai Li, what are you talking about? If you don't want to give me any suggestions, just go and chill out over there." Nan Xiaoniao rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Cry, little bird, you are mean to me."

"Hmph." The girl snorted and turned to comfort Honoka.

She has already figured out Bai Li's background. This guy will shine if he is given a little sunshine, and he must not be spoiled.

"The angry little bird is so cute too." Bai Li whispered to Anan in a very low voice.

The big black crow, whose neck was pinched, rolled his eyes, causing the girl, who had her ears perked up, to blush.

"This guy Bai Li... I really don't know what to say about her."

While Minami Kotori was secretly feeling shy, Honoka had already emerged from the trough of her life.

She clenched her fists and said, "I've decided. I'll go look for her again."

"Honoka, she's obviously not happy about it, don't force her." Umi advised helplessly, but she also knew it was futile.

Ever since they met, she has deeply understood Honoka's characteristics. To put it nicely, she is persistent, and to put it bluntly, she is full of stubbornness.

"What's wrong with cow? Cow sounds so nice. I'm super awesome and beef is so delicious." She has tried to persuade her, but Honoka would only retort like this with a giggle.

"Forget it, whatever you want. Kotori and I won't mess with you anymore." Umi turned her head and put the pressure on the mother of the stubborn child, "Right, Kotori."

Nan Xiaoniao was frightened by the sinister gaze. At this point, she could only go along with Hai Wei.

"Yes, otherwise, the relationship between husband and wife will break down, and Honoka will be a left-behind child." Bai Li made a joke at the side.

"I am enough on my own. It is Umi and Kotori who are too much of a nuisance." Seeing that Umi was about to explode again, Honoka hurriedly ran away with a smile, "Anyway, you guys listen to my good news. I will be back soon."

Minami Kotori could only watch Honoka leave, her eyes flickering with worry.

"Well, tsundere girls are really hard to deal with." Bai Li said with a smile, "But, just leave it to Honoka without any worries."

Although I do believe in Honoka, I feel very uncomfortable hearing you say this, Baili.

……

It was already afternoon, and despite the fact that Honoka had been thinking about how to conquer the tsundere pink-haired kitten the entire morning, their idol careers had made significant progress.

There was only one note found in the suggestion box.

"US?" Honoka held it up high, opened the pink, carefully wrapped and folded letter paper, and read out the contents on the paper.

"US?" Nan Xiaoniao poked her head out, but didn't see the specific content. "Is it the abbreviation of the United States?"

"I think it should be pronounced as Mu, Muse."

"Muse, that sounds pretty nice." Honoka scratched her head, "It's decided, our group name from now on will be Muse!"

"The name probably comes from the goddess of music in Greek mythology, which is a good implication." Umi continued to explain, "I have to say, Honoka's simple-minded approach did work inadvertently."

"Huh? Umi, you wanna fight? I'm very strong." As he said that, he mooed and made gestures showing his strong strength, and started to play with Umi.

"Well, it's all thanks to Hono-jam. After all, the art of naming needs to be improved." Kotori said with a smile.

Umi's naming method is too serious and doesn't seem like a lively idol at all.

The way the bird is named is too cute. Although it makes it lively, it sounds like a trick played by children when playing house.

As for Honoka, this girl has a wild and imaginative mind, and the name she came up with has nothing to do with idols. Her passion and humor make people sigh when they see her.

In short, although it is somewhat irresponsible to leave everything to the public, the name of their group has been decided after all.

Muse, the goddess of music in Greek mythology.

At this time, they did not know that they would create an immortal legend.

"Ahhh, Muse, finally, I witnessed this moment, ahhhh, so exciting." But Bai Li knew, so he was very excited.

Nan Xiaoniao looked at Bai Li, who was floating around excitedly like a teddy bear, and sighed: "Really, Brother Bai Li is like a child..."

Time passed quickly and it was time to go home from school. I said goodbye to Kotori and Umi and let them go first.

The great MLM queen, legendary idol leader, Honoka Kousaka, walked towards the music room.

I have already figured out the kitten's daily routine. This cat is a loner and introvert, and the places where it refreshes are either the library or the music room.

Regarding this kind of kitten, Honoka said that she was born to be eaten by her senior.

Ahem, just kidding. Anyway, Honoka has already figured out what to do.

Her character is that of a fool, but when it comes to major issues and getting along with others, her emotional intelligence is at its highest.

Anyway, first of all...just the right compliment!

She could hear the familiar sound of piano from a distance, although she was not very familiar with this kind of elegant classical music.

But judging from its graceful melody and smooth rhythm, Maki played it very well.

She is worthy of being the daughter of a wealthy family.

She squatted at the door devoutly with her face pressed tightly against the glass.

When the song ends, applaud immediately!

Maki heard the noise at the door, turned sideways, and saw the guy who looked like a little hamster, blushing and coughing twice.

"I really can't stand people who have no sense of boundaries." She stood up with a slightly red face, opened the door and welcomed the guest.

"You play it so beautifully, it's like the sound of nature." Saying this, the girl climbed onto Maki's shoulders again and pinched her shoulders, which were sore from sitting for so long playing the piano, with a flattering skill.

"It's quite comfortable, actually." Maki thought to herself, but the tsundere little kitty wouldn't say it directly.

But it’s too early to expect me to agree like this!

"What are you doing here?" she asked knowingly.

"Eh? You came here because you heard the beautiful piano music." She played hard to get.

"Yeah."

"I always feel that people who can play the piano are very elegant and have a lot of inner qualities."

"Not absolutely." Maki twirled her hair with her fingers.

This is a stereotype held by most people. The two are not related, and there are many passionate piano pieces.

The performer also needs to have corresponding passion, even madness.

"But Maki is just very elegant." Honoka hit the nail on the head, making the tsundere little cat with a complicated mind feel embarrassed and at a loss.

"Even if you said so, I won't agree."

"Why? It's all music."

"Too frivolous. The music I like to listen to is classical and light music. Lyrics like that are too casual."

Just as ordinary people are turned off by the passion and subtlety of classical music, many classical music lovers turn up their disdain at general pop music.

But both bring happiness and strength to people. Classical music may be more profound, but its simple and straight-forward words simply express likes and love.

How can we simply generalize it as frivolous?

"Maki, can you do push-ups?" Honoka suddenly changed the tone, leaving Maki stunned.

"What's wrong? Isn't it possible?"

"Humph, how is that possible." After saying that, the tsundere little kitty jumped into the obvious trap of provocation, took off her coat and began to move up and down on the floor.

"How is it? Don't look at me like this, I'm really strong." As someone who has been practicing piano for many years, her upper limb strength is indeed good, which is the source of her confidence.

One, two, three, four, it's so easy. She turned her head and smiled proudly at Honoka who was squatting next to her.

"Yes, that's it. Can you perform this again?" Honoka suddenly asked.

"What?" Maki was confused.

"Smile. Can you do push-ups while smiling?"

"Is that so?" The girl forced a stiff smile.

"Yes, that's it. Hold for a few seconds and continue doing push-ups."

Maki knew what to do, but, incredibly, she couldn't do it.

Doing such simple push-ups with a smile seems to become several times more difficult.

The tsundere little pink cat tried hard on its face, but finally gave in. It looked at Honoka beside it with a puzzled and helpless look on its face with a kitten-like face.

"Yeah, it's hard." Honoka held up her phone, which was playing a dance video of a school idol. "It's hard to dance with a smile on your face."

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Maki stood up. Honoka held out her hand, and in her palm was a piece of paper. "Here are the lyrics for the first live performance, if you change your mind."

Maki took the note, and after Honoka left, she flipped it open and glanced at it.

Are they serious?

By now, she has had some changes in her opinion of campus idols.

It is not a job that can be done easily, nor is it just glamorous on the surface.

Frivolous? She looked at the lyrics, which were written with great care and poetry.

“Even a newborn chick will one day be able to spread its wings.”

Not at all, they are really serious.

And as for the newborn chicks, will she lend a helping hand?
