[Comprehensive] Manna's Summer

27#Sweeter than candy

After school, Erika Futekoji took Kuroko Mana with one hand and Kuga Aoi with the other, and dragged them to a cake shop near the school.

"My name is Erika Futekoji. I graduated from Kyoto Daiichi Elementary School." Erika said with a smile, "She is Kuga Aoi. We have known each other since we were young. Aoi-chan, this is Kuroko Mana."

"It's just that we meet once or twice a year. Don't say it's so close." Kugaoi said coldly, but still stretched out her hand to Mana, "Kugaoi. As long as you don't call him Aoi sauce like that guy, call him whatever."

"Okay, then I'll call you 'Aoi'." Mana smiled and shook hands with her, her water-blue eyes were full of smiles, "It's really a very suitable name for you, just like the princess in The Tale of Genji Same as you."

"...I don't want such a bad allusion. What's so good about falling in love with a woman who was cursed to death by a rival when the scumbag gave birth to him." Kugaoi looked away and snorted awkwardly.

"But I like Aoi very much. Proud and beautiful, I like a girl who is not willing to compromise her heart at any time."

Aoi's face flushed slightly, she withdrew her hand, and stirred the mocha coffee in front of her in a panic, the movements of her hands were rarely out of order, and she looked a bit like a girl of her age.

"First, let me sing a song first! If you want to form a band, at least let me know your level!"

"Eh?" Mana looked around in embarrassment, "Is it here?"

"right here."

Aoi's voice calmed down again, she raised her head, and the frosty eyes returned to her eyes again.

"If you want to become a singer, you don't even have the courage to sing in the crowd, so let's go back now."

Seeing this, Mana sighed slightly.

"I understand."

Erica hurriedly washed down the black forest cake in her mouth with black tea, and reached out to pull Aoi's sleeve.

"Hey, Aoi-chan...don't be like this, Mana-chan was dragged here by me...don't embarrass her like this right away."

"That's what she promised herself." Aoi picked up the coffee, her eyes were cold, "From now on, let's make up our minds."

Mana stretched out her hand and patted Erika who looked anxious, and shook her head lightly.

"It's okay." She smiled, and turned to look at Aoi with firm eyes, "Just sing here. Can you sing a cappella?"

"A cappella is the best."

Mana took a deep breath and stood up, clenched her hands into fists by her sides, and sang the first song softly.

"でいごの花が咲き风を解び岩が来た (Erythrina blossoms call for storms)"

At the first time, the voice was still trembling, showing a bit of timidity, but then it stabilized a lot, and the calm smile returned to her face again, and she continued to sing.

"でいごが咲き元れ风を听び岩が来た (Erythrina flowers call out the storm)

くり入す感しみは岛布渡る波のよう (Sorrow to and fro is like waves crossing an island)

ウージの森であなたと出会い(I met you in the sugarcane forest)

ウージの下でChiyoにさよなら(Farewell to you again under the sugarcane)"

The singing voice is like a ray of light. Although the unique melodious singing voice is immature, it is clear and bright. It seems to have endless emotions hidden in it. The joy of meeting, the sadness of parting, the blessings drifting away with the waves, It was all told by such a voice, it was a singing voice that caught people's hearts, and the singing voice suddenly rose, as if it had spread its immature wings and waved its wings high into the sky.

"岛呵よ风に仱犋bととに海を渡れ (Island song, ride the wind and fly across the sea with the birds)

Island chanting よ wind に 仱 Gao 欷 bao skin?? Stewed candied ants? Island song, ride the wind and take my tears away)”

It was such a free singing voice, as if it could reach anywhere. Although the technique is still immature, the turning point is rather blunt, and the treble is not perfect, but the singer's pious attitude can move anyone who hears it, and the sadness is released. So light, yet still heartbreaking.However, her voice is so gentle, like a warm hand gently wiping away your tears.

"でいごの花も散りさざ波がゆれるだけ (Erythrina flower scattered microwave jiggling)

ささやかな兴せはうたかたの波の花 (Small happiness is like a wave of nothingness)

ウージの森森で歌った友よ (Friends who sing in the sugarcane forest)

ウージの下で八千代の别れ (I will say goodbye to you forever under the sugarcane)"

The sunlight came in from the clear glass window and shone on the young girl, coating her with a soft gleam, so beautiful that it was almost unreal.Those water-blue eyes were reflected so clearly that it was impossible to look away from her.

After a long time, Kuga Aoi thought.

On that day, what she saw was—【Miracle】.

***

“Manna-chan is great!”

Erika flew over and hugged Mana, and Mana smiled and patted her head, calming Erika down.She stared at Kuga Aoi with those gentle eyes, and smiled slightly.

"Did I pass?"

Kugaoi looked away awkwardly.

"...It's not bad if you train well."

Erika smiled and dismantled the stage ← At this time, to be honest, it was all natural black.

"Don't look at Aoi Sauce like this, it's very nice of her to say she's not bad. Aoi Sauce is always very shy at times like this... oh, oh, don't pinch me, Aoi Sauce, oh, oh, I'm sorry, I won't tell the truth anymore qaq!"

Aoi met Mana's smiling gaze, her face blushed imperceptibly, she subconsciously let go of her hand pinching Erica's cheek, snorted and turned her head away, but she glanced secretly from the corner of her eye and spotted Erica Tears welling up in Mana's arms, the corners of her eyes twitched.

Mana hugged Erika, gently stroking her head, and when she noticed the orange pie on Aoi's table that was only moving, she motioned for the waiter to come over.

"And another Black Forest cake," she said with a smile.

After the Black Forest cake was served, Mana pushed the pie in front of Aoi.

"You seem to like sweeter food... I guess you would like chocolate cake better."

Jiu Wokui was startled, and lowered his eyes slightly.

"...Why do you think so?"

"The taste of mocha coffee is too sweet, your coffee is almost finished, but the orange pie hasn't moved a few sips... And when you ordered mocha coffee just now, you told them to add a little more chocolate sauce, so I guess You probably prefer something sweeter, especially chocolate."

Aoi turned around awkwardly, and snorted coldly, but the slight redness at the base of her ears revealed her true mood.

"...I don't like it." She pursed her lips and repeated, "I don't like it."

While saying this, Kuga Aoi lowered her head and dug a spoonful of cake and put it into her mouth. It seemed that she was a little delicate and awkwardly cute for a girl of her age.

"Kui Jiang is still so duplicity... I'm so sorry, I'm telling the truth again tat! Why are you pushing harder, Kui Jiang qwq!"
