A Certain Scientific Bee-eater

Shokuhou's plan was originally just to create a suitable stage for Sakuren Yuri:

He attracted the attention of the school students through his reputation as an lv5 and transfer student, and set the time for the event to ferment and spread after a week.

Next, she just had to wait for Sakiren Yuri to stably show off all her usual hard work and accumulation in the auditorium under the witness of others.

Her task has been completed.

As Misaka Mikoto said, she didn't need to compete with Sakiren Yuri, because the protagonist of that stage was not her.

but,

"...Sure enough, I'm still not reconciled."

Winning or losing is not really important, whether she wins or Sakuren Yuri wins, as long as the other party can play stably and prove herself under the watchful eyes of others, her goal has been achieved.

Therefore,

"Since winning or losing doesn't matter, why can't I be the one who wins?"

Shokuhou said,

"That stage not only belongs to Sakuren Yuri, but also belongs to me. If I show a good appeal on it, it will also be good for the development of the faction in the future."

Of course, the more important reason is that Shokuhou Misaki doesn't like failure.

Not to mention 'flight without a fight'.

Although this game is only part of the plan, the game is the game.Now that you've decided to start, go all out.

"Is that so, that's why you came to me?"

Misaka Mikoto asked as if she had figured out something.

"That's right, Misaka-san, wouldn't you refuse the request of such a peerless and lovely girl-san☆?"

Shokuhou Misaki blinked and spoke in a sweet voice.

"Of course not, for the sake of helping your classmates,"

I thought that the other party would be very reluctant, but Misaka Mikoto simply nodded and agreed, with a smile on her face for some unknown reason.

"And there is such a legitimate reason to educate you well, I can't ask for it."

"Wait, wait, when you're talking about education, you should be referring to the violin, right?"

Shokuhou Caoqi suddenly felt a hint of danger, and couldn't help but ask with some vigilance.

"Yeah, what else could it be?"

Misaka Mikoto felt a little inexplicable, and immediately said,

"Don't worry, I will definitely guide you seriously, Shokuhou, please give me more advice in the next week~"

"Please, please advise..."

(Is it an illusion?)

Looking at the warm smile on the other's face, Shokuhou Caoqi always felt a bad premonition in his heart.

ps: Yesterday afternoon, my waist was gone. My vacation is gone. Ah, I really want the almighty Dr. Gutai to help me see a doctor...

15. Already tamed

It turns out Shokuhou Misaki's hunch was right.

Misaka Mikoto was like a... devil when she was guiding her.

- 'This place is out of tune, start over. '

- 'Stop, vibrato should be used here, start again. '

——'The place where the strings are vibrated is still a little stiff, so try again. '

——'No, no, this part should show that kind of softer feeling, do it all over again. '

Again, her face was serious and her brows were frowning, like an older single woman with menopause attacking her.

- 'Well, I did a good job this time, let me touch you. '

Again, she gave her a satisfied smile and patted her head as if praising the pupil who said 'I want to be a teacher in the future' in class.

- 'Fingers should slide to this position, understand? '

He was behind her in a posture that seemed to others to be holding her in his arms, holding her hand regardless of her mood, and talking beside her sensitive ears.

Shokuhou Misaki really felt like he was going crazy.

(How insane was I in the first place to ask Misaka Mikoto to guide me?)

But it is undeniable that Misaka Mikoto is indeed a good teacher:

Not only can he accurately point out the mistakes in her performance, but also give her a demonstration by himself.The amount of practice for Shokuhou Shiki is certainly a lot, but the amount of practice for the other party is not too small.

The proof was Misaka Mikoto's Band-Aid with some kind of frog mascot that was wrapped around the fingers of her right hand.

Seriously, it felt like she had practiced too hard, and after this incident she would not want to play the violin and listen to classical music again for at least a while.

Shokuhou Caoqi is not such a diligent person, or she is not a person who likes to persecute and force herself.If she had anticipated this week's situation earlier, she would have simply given up and left the stage to Sakuren Yuri alone.

But now that it has started.

Misaka Mikoto's fault-finding and strict attitude towards her also made her competitive.Her ego doesn't allow herself to say things like 'I can't do it' and 'I'll give up'.

Obviously, the original purpose was not to lose, but I don't know when it turned into 'I must satisfy Misaka Mikoto'.

(When was the last time you worked so hard...)

Shokuhou Misaki looked at the Band-Aid wrapped around his fingers, which had a pattern of some kind of frog mascot on it.

Of course, this was prepared by Misaka Mikoto. After all, she wouldn't use such childish power so blindly, but after watching it a lot lately, she thought it was still cute?

Recalling the serious and panicked look of the other party when her fingers bleed for the first time, and the fact that she put it into her mouth and sucked the blood on it without hesitation. She obviously didn't care when she was injured...

(And maybe there are sweaty hands, really)

"……Fool."

"Huh? What did you say?"

Misaka Mikoto, who was beside her, opened her mouth in confusion.

"Nothing at all."

Shokuhou Misaki, who was holding a violin in his hand, said with a blushing snort.

"Don't worry, your current level will definitely amaze everyone. After all, you have worked hard~"

Misaka Mikoto, who probably misunderstood her nervousness, said with a smile while rubbing her head with her hand.

"Ah, wait! Do you have to touch people's heads like this?!"

Shokuhou Caoqi struggled unbearably and said angrily.

The hair will be messed up for the time being, what kind of trouble is this kind of behavior like 'rewarding a puppy who learns to throw a Frisbee'?The most unbearable thing for her is that she has recently become accustomed to the other party's 'sudden attack'.

(What are you doing, am I almost tamed without realizing it?)

"Hey, don't you like it? I don't think you resisted that much before, and your body type can easily make people compliment you as a child, wow—"

Misaka Mikoto, who was halfway through speaking, jumped back in time to avoid the 'violin slam' in front of her, and said with a puzzled face,

"What are you doing all of a sudden? It's dangerous. What if you break the violin?"

"If it breaks, buy another one. Compared with these insignificant things, it is more important for me to vent my emotions before the show!"

Damn guy, one or two are all talking about body shape, body shape, is it that her eyesight is so poor that she can't see the giant inside her?And she is still in the growth stage now, and she may not know who will be the 'primary school figure' in a year.

(Just use the ability to promote the development of the body...)

"Lord Shokuhou, calm down, calm down, if the piano is broken, there is no way to find a suitable replacement immediately, and the audience outside has almost come, you can start..."

Fanfeng Junzi, who was outside with Kouziko Zaotori and others to help organize, hurried over to dissuade him.

"Mum..."

Shokuhou Kaori showed a somewhat unwilling expression on his face, then glared at Misaka Mikoto and said,

"I'm going, Misaka-san, please look at me."

After saying this, she turned around and walked onto the stage.

ps: Misaka Mikoto (looking at Junko Hobaze): Did I say something wrong just now?

Junko Hobaze (holding his forehead): Misaka-san, there are some things that cannot be said even if they are facts...

ps2: Why does it feel like it was written as a competition essay...

take time off

As the title.

It was said earlier that I had a flashback on the Dragon Boat Festival. I thought I would be able to get better after two days of rest, but I didn’t expect it to work. Today, when I came back from get off work, I had to lie in bed with back pain. Stop and take care of your body, please forgive me...

That's all I have to say, ヾ(=°?°=)ノ Meow?

16. The woman you like is in my arms (wrong)

This is a large auditorium.

It is a building dedicated to performances, debates and performances.

About the size of a gymnasium, the angle of every corner has been carefully adjusted so that even the sound of a tack hitting the ground can be clearly conveyed to every corner of the room.

Like a movie theater or an orchestra hall, the stage runs along the walls of one side of the auditorium, while the auditorium on the opposite side is fanned out and the seats are stepped up, so that the audience on each floor has a view that covers the entire stage .

Shokuhou Misaki walked from the backstage to the center of the stage with a violin.

The audience was almost full, and even a few teachers could be seen in the uniforms of Tokiwadai Middle School.

This is also normal. For these young ladies who have been bound by strict school rules all the year round, the excitement such as today is like eating a bite of ice cream in a dry summer.

For the audience offstage, it doesn't matter whether it's their game or whether they win or lose.
