I, Minami Kotori, Son of the Sun

"Are you the ones who are campus idols..." The three of them were walking on the road when they were suddenly spoken to by unfamiliar classmates.

"Yes, yes." It was a bit embarrassing to do this in public. Apart from the fact that Kotori and Honoka were still relatively calm, Umi already wanted to run away.

"The name of the group is MS."

"Ah, it's soap!" The girl suddenly had an idea and said so. (The pronunciation of soap in Japanese is similar to Muse)

The three of them were silent for a while. Umi coughed and stood in front of the bird: "No way!"

It was an unquestionable look.

"Wow, wow, Umi is so protective of you." Bai Li twisted around in the air as he watched, "Hey, Umi and Honoka, which one do you like better?"

"Uh, uh, I mean, Brother Baili, you..."

"You, you don't want them all, do you?" Bai Li looked horrified. "Oh no, a pure love war god like me trained a scumbag. I'm crying."

"Brother Bai Li!!!!" Xiao Niao was so angry that his hands were shaking. Hai Wei saw this and patted Xiao Niao's head, "Be good, don't be angry."

Good, very good!!

"There's going to be a live show tomorrow, right? What's it going to be like? Can you perform a segment there?" the passerby continued, looking like a curious baby.

"Little Bird! Come and give them a whole life! Go! Ignore!" Bai Li, who triggered the conversation, was saying weird words again, and Little Bird sighed.

"Right, right here? Near the gate where people come and go." Umi's eyes were blurry and she started to make facial expressions. She searched around as if she was looking for something.

Honoka was stunned for a moment and discovered a business opportunity.

How could the admissions director’s MLM skills be just a reputation?

"Sasa, if you can bring your friends to watch the live show, I'll let you watch it."

"Ohhh, ok, of course!"

So, let's do a segment, which segment? The one in the middle, let's keep some suspense...

Just as Honoka was ready to go, Kotori pulled her sleeve.

"What's wrong, little bird, are you okay with the middle part?"

"No, it's not that question, it's..."

Umi, disappeared? She disappeared during the conversation between the two.

"Fuck, Umi's ability to escape is simply amazing. If she were the master of disguise, she would be able to enter and exit the Gorugom base as easily as if she were in an empty space!" Bai Li exclaimed.

The two had no choice but to give up dancing and turn around to look for the escaped idol member.

Fortunately, with the guidance of the immortal Baili, the two of them indeed found the autistic Haiwei on the rooftop.

Squatting in the corner with your butt facing them.

Good, good opportunity!

"I've been practicing for so long, whether it's singing or dancing, I'm already so proficient..." Umi covered her head, like an autistic teenager who was using EVA, "I can't do it. I can't do it in front of others."

"It's impossible? What do you mean it's impossible? I don't understand." Honoka said the dangerous lines. Remember the last guy who said this, he was turned into a stone man by the light of the conch in the next second.

Honoka was lying in front of Umi. As a born social phobic, she didn't understand Umi's thoughts at all.

"Nervous?" She tried to put herself in Umi's shoes. "Oh, right, in that case, just treat everyone else as vegetables and radishes!"

Is that so? Is that so? Honoka is such a heartless kid. Is that so?!

Umi thought for a moment, in a vast countryside, wearing a gardener's hat and dressed like a country girl, 'Sonoda' Umi, singing and dancing in front of a group of radishes and vegetables.

"Oh, so embarrassing!" She covered her head and her face turned even redder.

"Have you thought of this?!" Honoka was at a loss.

"It doesn't matter as long as it's not in front of others, it doesn't matter as long as it's not in front of others..." Like a Taoist priest who has gone astray, Umi held her head and crouched down, repeating this sentence.

"People with social phobia are really miserable." Bai Li looked at the girl who was in a trance in the distance and sighed, "Even I feel the same way."

"Brother Bai Li? You? Feel the same way?" I was still thinking about how to comfort Umi, but suddenly I found a very ridiculous sentence.

Just like finding a worm, the bird must eat it!

"What's the matter? Is there a problem?" Bai Li raised his eyebrows.

"Brother Bai Li, I've been with you for so long, how do you look like a socially anxious person?" Nan Xiaoniao asked.

Whether it’s his exaggerated acting skills or his big brother-like demeanor, if you say he is a bad gangster, Minami Kotori might believe it, but she just doesn’t believe that this guy is socially phobic.

"I second the motion, just as I have always insisted on believing that Bai Li is not a human at all." Anan took the opportunity to interject.

"Does what you do have anything to do with social phobia?" Minami Xiaoniao asked in her soul.

"Does what you do have anything to do with people?" Anan followed suit.

The host and his assistant sang the same tune, which made Bai Li very angry.

"I was also socially anxious back then, but someone helped me out." Bai Li coughed twice and began to recount a past event in a gentle tone.

When he first entered college, he wanted to show off his piano talent that he had hidden for a lifetime, but he didn't really want to show it to other people.

I just want to play the piano, I just love it.

But when I was secretly playing the piano in the classroom on weekends, I was heard by a guy who was also a music lover and much more cheerful than me.

The other party was much more proactive, calling me "big brother" all the time, and they hit it off as soon as they started chatting. They had common hobbies and even liked the same songs.

In terms of piano skills alone, no one can compare to Bai Li, who stays at home alone playing the piano every day. But except for this point, that guy is much better than him.

Much more dazzling.

He brought Bai Li into the university's piano club, where someone finally appreciated his talent and even the teacher recognized his skills. The ensuing enthusiasm and sincerity touched this self-enclosed teenager.

“That’s why I said I felt the same way.”

"So, Brother Baili, you have such a past." Xiaoniao's eyes were wet, and he decided to take better care of Brother Baili in the future and not tease him anymore.

...

"Wait, Brother Baili, can you play the piano?"

"Yes, I could before, but now that I don't have a body, so..." Bai Li acted as if he was a hero who did not brag about his past achievements.

"You play it well?"

"Well, it's okay. Anyway, the professional teachers appreciate me very much." Bai Li said proudly.

“Then you can compose music, too.”

"Of course. Back then I was..." Bai Li felt a little proud.

Huh? The girl put on a kind smile. What happened? Did I say something wrong?

Bai Li didn't know.

The bird remembered it clearly.

In Chapter 15, Xiao Niao sought Bai Li's help in composing music, but the other party fooled him by saying "I can handle color-changing ink".

The girl withdrew her decision. Brother Bai Li, guys like this need to be bullied! ! ! !

. . .

Putting aside the fact that Bai Li was severely punished, time passed and it was after school. The three of them did not train as usual, but appeared on the streets of Akihabara.

Because there is something more important - to help Umi overcome her social phobia!

"Let's distribute the live flyers here!" Honoka waved her hand and issued the task.

"There are so many people." Umi's legs were shaking and her hands were drumming.

"Of course, this is the only way to achieve the effect of exercise."

"If you just do it, you'll get used to it!" Honoka shouted, trying to awaken Umi's courage.

"Guests are all vegetables, guests are all vegetables..." Umi still remembered Guoguo's six-word mantra, and I cried to death.

OK, OK, done!

She opened her eyes again, and what she saw had become: "A big banana, a big banana, a corn head, a corn head, an old tomato, an old tomato~"

By the way, banana is a fruit, right?

Well, very scary. Having too strong imagination is not a good thing. This scene, which was like a hybrid version of Plants vs. Zombies where plants grow on zombies' heads, made Umi fall to the ground.

"How's Kotori?" Honoka turned to look at the other Odori.

"Well, I'm fine." As it should be, the bird is very confident.

After all, she is Akihabara's ace maid.

"Where's Umi?" Honoka turned around and saw Umi curled up next to the dark gashapon machine.

She turned her head and looked at the two shining stars with eyes that had lost their brilliance: "Haha, haha, I got the SSR."

. . .

After a while, I finally returned to the school gate.

"Back to the starting point~"

"Brother Baili, shut up."

"Oh."

It should be okay here. We are all students from the same school. We shouldn't be defeated if we fight in the fountain.

"Please take care of me. Tomorrow MS will hold its first live show. Please take care of me~"

"Here, the flyer. Come and look at it tomorrow when you have time."

The two girls from the community have been killing a lot and are close to becoming gods, but Umi is still unable to take a single step forward.

"Please, please!" She made a bitter face and finally handed over a flyer.

The man stopped and waved his twin ponytails: "No need."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

“I’m so shocked!!” Umi is about to curl up into a dark paramecium!

"It won't end until all of these are distributed."

"Do, I can't do it."

"Umi, what did you say when I said I couldn't do it on the stairs?" Honoka turned sideways and recalled what happened that day.

If you want to do it, do it seriously. If you give up easily, you will never become an idol.

Fine, fine, a mere Honoka has such awareness, so I, Umi, will not hesitate even if I have to climb mountains of swords and plunge into seas of fire....

"Please take care of me." The girl, full of fighting spirit and without retreating, rushed towards the crowd in front of her.

"Um." A weak voice sounded, and the frail girl with glasses stopped in front of Honoka, "Um, live, I will go to watch it."

It’s not easy, finally there’s someone who takes the initiative!

"You are Hanayo-san, right? Okay, thank you for your support." Honoka said with a smile.

Umi, who rushed over after hearing the news, smelled a rare opportunity, a chance to distribute all the flyers.

"Well, let alone this one, these two and three, all of these..." Umi, who was saying this, was tapped on the head by Honoka and became obedient.
