[Comprehensive] Manna's Summer

28#Respective world

"So, what's the name of the band, do you guys have any ideas?"

Kugaoi picked up the coffee cup and asked the two people in front of her.Erica tilted her head, showing a sweet smile, innocent and charming.

"I have no objection, it's fine for Kui Jiang to decide."

Mana thought for a while with her chin on her cheek, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the handle of the teacup, as if thinking of something, she tapped lightly on the handle with her fingertips.

"It's better to think of a positive name... How about β?o?"

"β?o??"

Mana breathed a sigh of relief on the glass window, and stretched out her hand to write the four letters β?o? on the white mist.

"Well, β?o?, that's it. Greek for 'life'. I like this a lot... what do you guys think?"

"Great!" Erica clapped her hands.

"...It's okay." Aoi looked away, "That's all, it's okay."

"So, what about the venue?"

"I submitted an application for the establishment of the light music department. The basic number of members of the club at Teiguang Middle School is three, and the three of us are enough. I have already found a consultant teacher. The application will be approved in the afternoon, and the classroom will be very fast. It can be fixed, and it will be good to carry out daily training there." Jiu Wokui's voice is as clear as ice, "There is no need for you two to worry about the equipment and equipment. I have already made the arrangements and will install them after the classroom is approved. "

"It's amazing." Mana was a little surprised, "It's all planned."

"This kind of thing is a piece of cake for Aoi-chan~ isn't it, Aoi-chan?" Erica laughed deeply, "It's that 'Jiu me' after all."

Kugaoi ate the last bite of the cake with a blank expression, and cast a cold glance at Erika.

"Where did you go? 'Di Xiaolu'."

Mana looked at the two people puzzled, not understanding the meaning of their words.But she didn't ask, just smiled and looked at the two of them.

"So, the venue and the name of the band have been decided, when will the training start?"

"Tomorrow, gather in the classroom after school in the afternoon, let's do the most basic training first." Kugaoi is still the one who made the plan, "We will decide on the specific content of the training tomorrow. I have classes in a while, I will first gone."

"Miss Qianjin really worked hard."

Erica rested her chin on her hands and looked at Kuga Aoi with a smile.Then because of this gloating, Kugaoi knocked her head down, held her head and stuck out her tongue.

"Don't think that you can laugh at me just because you are out of the sea of ​​suffering." Kugaoi snorted, then turned to look at Mana, "Thank you for today."

"Huh?" Mana was a little puzzled.

"Thank you anyway!" Kugaoi turned her head awkwardly, picked up her schoolbag, stood up and walked out, "But don't be late tomorrow! Prepare yourself! I'm very strict!"

"Uh...?" Mana was confused, but she still smiled at Aoi, "Okay, I won't relax, see you tomorrow, Aoi."

"Ming, see you tomorrow!"

"Goodbye sunflower sauce~" Erika waved her hand while lying on the table with a smile.

After Kugaoi's figure disappeared from the door of the store, Erika's voice came from Mana's side.

"Aoi sauce is very happy. It's rare to see her so happy."

"Eh?"

"Aoi-chan likes Mana-chan very much. I told you thank you just now, probably because of the fact that you ordered the Black Forest cake." Erica rested her cheeks on her hands, her burgundy eyes quietly looking at Kugaoi's plate , "Aoi sauce never talks about her preferences, but she is very happy to be paid attention to like that. As long as Mana-chan knows that Aoi-chan just showed that she likes you very much. Although it looks cold, but Aoi sauce is surprisingly shy."

"...Well..." Mana showed a helpless smile, "It's good that she feels happy."

"Mana-chan... is a very good person." Erika slightly bent her eyes, "Erica is very accurate at seeing people."

Mana didn't know what to say for a while, so she looked down at her watch.

"...Ah, I have to go first." Mana stood up and smiled apologetically at Erica, "I need to go back quickly and cook for my brother."

"Isn't Mom cooking at Mana-chan's house?"

"...my mother's cooking skills..." Mana smiled a little awkwardly, "so I cook in my house. Sorry, I'll go back first."

"Alright then, bye Mana-chan~"

Mana nodded at Erika, went to the counter, pointed to a vanilla cake and said "I want this" to the salesperson.Seeing this, Erica blinked in confusion.

"Does Mana-chan eat so many cakes?"

"This is for my brother." When Mana mentioned her brother, her water blue eyes were very gentle, "Azhe likes vanilla flavor, the cakes in this store are very good, so I want to buy some back for Azhe to try .”

"……yes?"

"Erika, go back quickly too. It's too late, it won't be safe for a girl to go back alone." Mana picked up the packed cake, smiled and waved to Erika, "See you tomorrow, Ellie Card."

Those burgundy eyes quietly watched Mana leave.

"Siblings...that's great." Erika put down her hands and lay down on the table, "It seems that I'm a little envious."

"How about homework?"

In the magnificent villa, Kugaoi paused as she walked up to the second floor.She turned around and looked at the man who spoke.

"No problem, father."

"Really. That's good." The man's voice was as hard and cold as a diamond, "You are a daughter carefully raised by my family for a long time. It is a matter of course that you are better than those ordinary people. You should not be proud of it and continue to practice. .”

"Yes, father."

"Seijuro and you are in the same school. You have also learned shogi recently. If you have any questions, you can ask him for advice."

"...Yes, father."

"Mrs. Ito reported to me that you intend to suspend the ikebana class with her every afternoon after school?"

"Yes, father. Mrs. Ito has nothing to teach me. I want to use this time to do something that I am more interested in."

"Interests can only be hobbies, you can have fun, and you can't delay the business. I don't want to hear your jokes from others one day."

"...I see, father."

Kugaoi answered mechanically like a puppet, and the man seemed a little annoyed by her reaction, so he didn't say anything more.A heart-pounding silence enveloped the magnificent villa.For a moment, it was so quiet that even breathing could be heard clearly.

A moment later, it was Kuga Aoi who broke the silence first.

"Have you any other orders, father?"

"...You go to review your homework."

"Yes, father."

Kugaoi replied blankly.

The mixed building looked dilapidated under the setting sun. Erika fluttered in and opened the door with a key.

"I'm back~"

With the oncoming heat wave, the house that had been exposed to the sun all day was so hot that it was almost unbearable. The air scorched by the sun was filled with the smell of garbage*. Erica walked in holding her nose and quickly closed all the windows. They were all turned on, and the cool air in the evening slightly dispelled the heat in the room.She opened the refrigerator door, took a bottle of mineral water from the freezer, unscrewed it, and drank it.

"Well...won't you come back today..."

Erica tore off the post-it note on the refrigerator door, her burgundy eyes scrutinizing the scrawled writing on it.

'I have work today, so go out and eat by yourself.

—— Yu Jiang'

"My aunt isn't coming back..." Erica threw the note into the trash can, "Then go out and eat."

Holding the garbage bag in her hand, Erica walked downstairs unsteadily.

"The dispute mediator or something... it's really hard work."

When Hei Zizhe returned home, the first thing he smelled was a seductive fragrance.

"Hurry up and wash your hands." The sister who brought the potato salad to the table smiled at him, "I have fried shrimp tempura tonight."

Heizi nodded, and quickly washed his hands and came out to help her serve the meal.

"Do you want to eat yam rice bowl today?"

"Well, I steamed the yam before going out, and it was steamed through when I came back, and the mud is quick to grind. Ah, remember to bring the soy sauce with you." Mana ordered Kuroko to serve things while arranging the tempura, "Set it up After the table, ask grandma to come out for dinner. After eating, we will go to the hospital to deliver meals to mom and dad.”

"...It smells so good."

Mana smiled, took a chopstick of fish meat from the plate and handed it to Heizi, Heizi was holding something in both hands and it was inconvenient to take it, so he had to open his mouth to eat it.

"……good to eat."

"That's good, I'm still worried that it might be too salty." Mana arranged the tempura, then turned around and scooped a little miso soup from the pot to taste, "Well... the soup is just right, but not I know if you will eat lightly."

"Grandma is getting old, it's better to eat light."

Heizi chewed down what was in his mouth, and while answering vaguely, he put all the things in his hand on the table, and turned back to get the tempura plate.

"The miso soup will be hot, I'll serve the soup later."

"Go get grandma out first."

"Hmm." Heizi hesitated for a moment, "Can I make cream stew tomorrow?"

"You." Mana turned her head, and nodded helplessly on his forehead, "Today's dinner is already thinking about tomorrow...Okay, okay, I will remember, I will make it for you .Do you want to add Muyuhua tofu? My parents will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, let’s cook something they like.”

"Ah."

"By the way, have you entered the basketball club yet?"

"It went in, and it is currently assigned to the three armies."

"If you work hard, you will definitely be able to enter the first army. Ah Zhe is the best."

Mana was serving miso soup, and Hei Zizhe was also startled when he heard that, and quietly looked at her figure.

"...Sister is the best."

"Only you, Ah Zhe, feel that way." Mana smiled.

Hei Zizhe did not refute, although he did not agree with this sentence at all.

——Sister is the best, everyone thinks so.

He thought about it silently, but he didn't say this sentence, he just changed the subject.

"Did sister choose which club to join?"

"Speaking of this..." Mana stopped what she was doing, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I want to be a singer. I have agreed to form a band with someone today... Ah Zhe, you may laugh at me, but I really I like singing very much... If my song can make other people happy, I will be very happy."

"It's very naive, even if only one person can listen to my songs... It is my dream to let someone be encouraged by my songs."

Hei Zizhe had already arranged the things on the table. Hearing the words, he raised his head silently, his expression was still calm, and his tone of voice was still so flat without fluctuations, but he could feel the emotion in it.

"How come, this is a great dream."
