[Comprehensive] Manna's Summer

34 #

Kuga Kaoru is amazing in action.

When he decided to let bios sell the first CD on Summer 1 in August, it only took a month for him to write the lyrics and music for them. contacts, borrowed a recording studio to record songs for them.

But Jiuwoxun has calculated everything, but he didn't calculate that there was such a big mistake in the place where the disc was carved.

"1000?!"

Erica exclaimed.

Kaoru Kuga nodded painfully.

"It's my fault. I didn't pay attention when I wrote it...I wrote an extra 0. Because it was my friend who engraved the disc, and didn't ask me for money at the time...I didn't find out that there were too many engraved discs until I handed over the disc."

"Ten times..." Mana frowned slightly, "...can it be sold out?"

"100 tickets are considered to be a certain risk. 1000 tickets, no matter what, it is impossible to sell out." Jiu Woxun raised his head with a headache, "The venue and location are not particularly good..."

Kugaoi looked calm.She looked at her second brother quietly with those slender black eyes, and spoke calmly.

"Then find a way to make it sell well." At this time, she is the calmest one, "It has already happened, and regretting is the most useless choice. Let's find a way to make the CD sell more and the most. important."

After a long time, I was stunned.

"I agree with Aoi's opinion." Mana seconded softly, "I think if singing live...will it make the CD sell better? If more people hear it, more people will want to buy it Bar?"

"Then hold a live." Aoi made a decisive decision, "Only singing is too monotonous, and finding ways to attract more attention is the key—then let's dance together, dress more gorgeously, and try to attract attention .”

"The cover of the CD has to be changed." Erica added, "The original cover is too plain, and it is not easy to attract people's desire to buy. It needs a more exquisite design. In this regard, Xun-kun is good. suggestion?"

"I will contact you about this matter." Jiu Gaxun finally regained his usual calmness, "You three just need to practice singing and rehearsing well. Since the live is decided, then you just need to concentrate on rehearsing, and I will do everything else I will take care of it for you. Venue, equipment, sound, accompaniment, assistants...you don't need to worry about it all."

He smiled calmly at the girls.

"I'm a professional in this area."

Erica tilted her head and thought for a while, then reached out and poked the dimple on her left cheek.

"Then, let Erika take care of the clothes."

"Oh?" Jiu Woxun glanced at her, and suddenly a gleam of amazement flashed in his eyes, "...I forgot, you live with your aunt now. How is sister Yu Jiang recently?"

"Auntie will be very happy to hear you call her sister, she likes to be called sister by a beauty." Erika blinked playfully, "Auntie is very good, her studio is very popular now .”

"I'm sure I'll be relieved if I hand over the costume design to Sister Yujiang." Jiu Gaxun nodded, "Then the costume will be handed over to Erica."

"Yeah!" Erica nodded vigorously, "Leave it to Erica!"

"Then it's not too late." Kugaoi said lightly, "Let's start rehearsing now, dance steps."

At this time, there are still 45 days before the summer comi is held.

***

In the days that followed, the three of them spent a lot of time and energy in training.

Aoi is the most proficient in dance. She is in charge of arranging and directing the dance. She spent a week all night designing the dance of each piece of music.Because Mana's foundation is the worst, she keeps Mana for her every day.

"I told you not to be so stiff! You are dancing! You are not lifting a corpse!"

"Follow the expression! Don't be stern! Don't smirk!"

"The action is open! Open! Don't you understand what it means to open! What does it look like shrinking your hands and feet!"

……

Hei Zizhe also quietly listened to Aoi's reprimand and Mana's apology at the door, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

He originally planned to tell Mana that he had found a good friend named Aomine Daiki, who would accompany him to practice and gave him a lot of guidance and help in basketball.However, listening to this conversation, for some reason, he felt that he was an outsider.

I don't know since when, he can spend less and less time with his sister.He has countless workouts to do, and she has her own to work on.The two of them are not in the same class, and there are fewer and fewer common topics. When they go home together, if Mana doesn't speak, they will fall into a long and awkward silence.He wanted to tell her a lot about basketball, but she wasn't very interested in basketball.She always told him about her friends and wanted to share her world with him, but he was so unfamiliar with that world that he couldn't even tell her, he had no idea who the people she was talking about were.

Once upon a time, their siblings shared a world.They are the most intimate twins, they are together all the time, and no one can separate her from him.They've been looking in the same direction, with the same friends, in the same environment.However, in just a few months, the differences became so obvious.Kuroko can no longer understand Mana's world, and Mana can no longer occupy Kuroko's world.

Just like at this moment, Hei Zizhe didn't even know whether he should open this door or not.

Kugaoi threw the paper fan on the ground angrily.There was a loud bang.

"How many times have I told you! Let go!!! The most important thing about dancing is to let go!!! We stand on the stage to convey what we want to convey through dance! If people don't see this Dancing has no meaning!!! People can see!!! People can see you!!! People can’t see anything except you!!! What do you mean by leaving half a step for every dance step!!!”

She was so angry that her voice changed, and she took several deep breaths before she could catch her breath.

"We don't have much time! There are still so many dances to rehearse! You can't dance well here! What to do when you are on stage!!! The audience is the most realistic guy, they don't care if you try hard or not. I will boo you! What else can you do except to be the best!!! Do you want to be ridiculed by them on stage?!"

Mana listened silently, only raised her head when Aoi rubbed her head angrily, and stared quietly at Kuga Aoi with those water-blue eyes.

"I'm sorry, Aoi, I didn't do well enough. Don't be angry. I know you are doing it for my own good. I will try harder."

"Who, who is for your own good! I'm just afraid that I won't be able to come down if you are ridiculed on the stage, okay! Don't be sentimental!"

As soon as the hurtful words came out, Kugaoi bit her lip fiercely, she looked at Mana with flickering eyes, then stomped her feet suddenly, threw everything in her hand to the ground, turned her head and rushed out.

"I don't care about you anymore! Practice by yourself!"

When rushing out the door, Kugaoi even ran into Kuroko Tetsuya, but she didn't pay attention, she just bit her lip and ran all the way, as if there was a beast chasing after her.

Hei Zizhe also fell silent, pushed the door and walked in, and stood quietly behind Mana.Looking at Mana's trembling back, he hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and gently put it on her shoulder.

"... Ah Zhe?" Mana turned her head and wiped away the tears on her face in a panic, "Why are you here?"

Heizi stretched out his hand quietly, hugged Mana into his arms, and gently stroked her long water-blue hair.

"It's okay. Sister, it's okay. You're fine."

"...I'm fine, Zhe." Mana forced herself to smile, but there was still a hint of crying in her voice, "I'm fine... Aoi has always been so hard-spoken and soft-hearted, she is worried about me, I understand. I I also know that I did not do well enough to make her so impatient..."

"There is no such thing, you have worked very hard." Heizi said softly, "I know, you have worked very hard."

Hearing this, Mana finally couldn't help letting out a small sob.Big drops of tears rolled down, she hurriedly reached out to wipe them off, but she couldn't finish them no matter what.Heizi clasped her shoulders and held her in his arms.Mana gave up the struggle, Kuroko felt the wetness spreading from the clothes on his shoulders, reached out and patted Mana's back lightly, like the way Mana comforted him countless times before when he was crying.

"I really want to do well..."

"I see."

"I don't want to hold you back. I have really worked hard, but why can't I do it? I don't understand, why can't I do it? I have worked so hard..."

"I know."

"I didn't mean not to do that...I really don't know what to do...how to open up the action...how to do it better...I really don't understand...I don't know what I do It's so bad, I don't know what's wrong...why am I so stupid, why don't I understand?"

"it's not your fault."

"I really, I really didn't do it badly on purpose...I really want to do well..."

"Ok, I know."

………………

Neither Tetsuya Kuroko nor Mana Kuroko saw the door of the practice classroom, and Kugaoi's fists were already pale when they went back and forth.

She eventually just walked away in silence.

When she got to the corner where no one was around, Aoi slapped herself hard.

"What the hell did you... say!" She gritted her teeth, trying not to let the tears fall, "What the hell did you do, Jiugaoi!"

——There are too many bad things to say, and they will become reality.So don't always speak ill words lightly.

——What if it is taken seriously?

What Erika said once again echoed in her ears, Kugaoi slowly squatted down/body, and slowly grabbed her long hair.

"... In the end, what did I say..."

***

Erica was cutting among a pile of fabrics when she suddenly heard her aunt's voice.

"Erica, someone is looking for you."

"Eh?" Erica took the phone and greeted the other end with a smile, "Hi, this is Erica Dikoji, who is it?"

"Erica..." Kugaoi's trembling voice came from the other end of the phone, "If...if I said something wrong...how should I apologize...?"

"..."

Erica was unexpectedly silent for a long time.

"Erica?"

"...I don't know." Erica lowered her voice, "However, for Aoi-chan, sincerity and repentance are the most important thing."

"……I understand."

"Has Aoi-chan finally pissed off Mana-chan?" Erika's voice cheered up again, "You must apologize well. Aoi-chan must have made Mana-chan very sad."

"..."

The other end hung up the phone angrily.There was only a beeping busy tone coming from the phone.

Erica lowered her eyes.Unconsciously, he clenched his phone tightly.

"Mana-chan... are you okay?"

***

During the rehearsal the next day, Kuga Aoi showed up in the classroom after a long time.

"Erica, you go out first." She pursed her lips and said to Erica, "I have something to say to Mana alone."

Erika Fuekoji looked worriedly at Kugaoi and Kuroko Mana, finally nodded hesitantly, opened the door and left.

The room fell into silence for a moment.

Jiu Wokui put her hands behind her back, clenched into fists, her fingers intertwined, until her knuckles were blue and white, and her fingertips were purple.She pursed her lips tightly, leaving only a pale line, her brows were furrowed, and her shoulders were trembling.

"……sunflower?"

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Her voice was as low as a breath, and then she seemed to muster up all her courage, and roared out, "I'm sorry! What I said yesterday... I'm very sorry!"

Aoi bent over, her face was flushed red, she didn't dare to look up at Mana at all.

Until a hand gently caressed her cheek.

"It's okay." Mana said softly, "It's okay, I know Aoi doesn't think so."

Kugaoi's face turned even redder, her fingers unconsciously scratched the wrist of her right hand, her nails sank deep into the flesh and blood.

"Aoi is just too anxious, I understand."

Mana didn't see this scene, but comforted Aoi softly.

However, her consolation only made Aoi grab her wrist even harder.

--not like this.

She looked at Mana, but couldn't get the words out of her mouth no matter what.

--not like this.

——I am serious, and I have malice towards you.
