As Ishigami and Chika started their performance, everyone was in silence as they were hypnotized by the sound, and with this performance alone, Adolphe Pescarolo knew that this meeting was as good as success, and this made him realize that Shirogane's eyes were as sharp as ever as he could choose a perfect member for his team on the student council.
Shirogane also felt relieved since everything went in the right direction, but if there was trouble, it was the fact that he didn't know French, and if he was bullied—
"What's wrong?"
"...nothing."
"You don't know French?"
"....."
"It's fine. I don't know either."
"...is that supposed to be a comfort?" Shirogane looked at the girl to whom he had asked for support and showed a helpless expression. "If you smile, it will be better, you know?"
"It's been a while since we met, but you act so cheeky, huh? Don't you remember who was such a wimpy and coward before?"
"...can you not mention the past in public?"
Anyway, as the two talked and somehow became closer, Maki kept staring at Ishigami in a daze and couldn't look away.
"Are you fine, Maki?" Nagisa couldn't help but ask since Maki's gaze was so weird that Maki even started to drool somehow.
"I-I am fine." Maki shook her head, then looked at Nagisa and asked, "How about your relationship with Tsubasa? Or rather, where is he?"
"He should be with his family, and we're fine."
"Is that so? Do your best."
Strangely enough, Maki had felt like... she had let go of her past, and a new feeling started to bloom, but unfortunately, the same as before, she couldn't express this feeling.
"...."
Meanwhile, Karen could only stare at Maki speechlessly since after that outing when they went to the batting center, she could say something secretly about the relationship between Maki and the one that she dated. Still, while she was quite helpless, she thought that it was far better than trying to destroy the relationship between Nagisa and her boyfriend.
More importantly, as Karen felt responsible for Maki's heartbreak, she felt like... even if she felt quite complex, she wanted to help Maki this time even if she knew the new crush that Maki had fallen for was such a... manwhore.
'But Nagisa also knows Yuu, huh?'
Karen didn't know that fact and only knew about this fact lately, but then again, as Nagisa had a boyfriend, it didn't matter, she thought, but compared to the two, she was more concerned about her best friend, Erika Kose.
Despite Erika appearing quite plain, she was quite cute and was quite popular among boys, but unexpectedly, she never thought so, and Karen also never thought to support those boys so they could get the heart of her best friend, but at this moment, Karen saw Erika's eyes were quite weird and just stayed in a daze watching Ishigami, who was on the stage doing his performance.
Karen didn't blame her best friend's reaction. Instead, she also understood why Erika showed such a reaction, or rather, she wanted to leap onto Ishigami's arm, kissing those lips that blew his saxophone gently yet firmly as his long fingers danced over the musical instrument, which made her face flush, imagined how it felt to be touched by those fingers...
'No, no! I can't become a pervert! However...'
However, if Ishigami pushed her, then Karen was sure that she would have a slight resistance, but then let herself be devoured by him~!
'Fortunately...'
Still, as Karen threw away her pervy thoughts, she quickly put her concern toward her best friend, who had been depressed for many days. Yet, even if she knew her problem, she could do nothing, especially with the current economy, lack of money, how young she was, and everything.
"So dreamy..."
Meanwhile, Moeha, Kei, and Toyomi, who had slipped into the party, couldn't help but stare at Ishigami in a daze as he performed with Chika.
Their performance was divided into two parts: one was when Ishigami blew his saxophone together with Chika, performing a gentle, cozy jazz to make everyone comfortable, and the other was when Chika worked as an accompanist as he sang a song, whether it was a Japanese, French, or any other based on the list that they had prepared beforehand.
Frankly, with the limited time they were given, it was amazing that the two could do so much of a performance.
Singing one or two might be easy, but a performance needed at least an hour or so to do, which tested their endurance and stamina. More importantly, they also needed to remember many songs, and as they stood in front of many, a nervous feeling would obviously appear, which was why a musical performance was harder to perform than one had imagined.
Yet, on the stage, Ishigami and Chika had no such struggle, and the two enjoyed their time together. It was like only the two of them in this world, supporting each other and having fun together.
Fun.
Chika thought as she smiled softly at her man, who confidently stood in front of many, showing a perfect performance despite his first time.
'As expected, a non-virgin is amazing!'
Regardless, Chika wasn't the only one who thought so, especially when Ishigami took off his suit, rested for a moment, rolled his sleeves, and then drank a mineral water as his Adam's apple moved, gulping the water to moisten his tired body and throat.
Gulp!
Yet, all of them gulped when they saw such a slight action since if it was compared to a woman; his action was like how a woman tied her long hair into a ponytail, showing a fair and slender nape as she exuded a pheromone that caused a man to lose their mind.
Adolphe also stared at Ishigami in amazement but quickly shook his head. 'No, no! I can't let them succeed!'
This meeting between the Shuchi'in Academy and the school sister in Paris was a test for him to Shirogane, but if this continued, then Shirogane would pass the test with ease!
'As expected of you, but I won't let you win so easily!'
As Ishigami rested for a moment, Adolphe quickly came and asked, "Ishigami-kun, Fujiwara-san, can I have a request?"
While he knew that it was a bit dirty, he decided to play a slight prank so this meeting wouldn't be a complete success.
"Hmm?" 2x
The two looked at the headmaster with confusion, but Adolphe didn't give them a chance to react and said, "Can I ask you to perform more gently and elegantly like a song from Chet Baker?"
"...."
Taking a deep breath, Kaguya sighed and said, "Unfortunately, my influence on the Shinomiya family can't affect this school."
"...."
Hayasaka, who stood by Kaguya's side, could only remain in silence as he thought that Adolphe had died.
Still, while Adolphe, Ishigami, and Chika couldn't do such an old song, Ishigami and Chika looked at each other as they talked.
"Can you do it, Yuu?"
"I can."
"Okay, which one?"
"Er... how about "But Not For Me."
"...it feels weird if you are the one who sings that song."
"Why?"
"Put your hands on your chest and say those words again."
"..."
"Anyway, let's do it."
"Okay~!'
It was fun, the two thought.
Instead of a task or something troublesome, this performance was like a play, like how they went to the park and played like a child, chasing each other, doing hide and seek, and continuing even if their parents scolded them, so facing Adolphe, who wanted to a trouble them, they would show who he had messed up with.
Then, under his stunned expression of Adolphe, Ishigami unbuttoned the button on his collar so he could feel more liberated, which caused many to gulp once again, but he ignored them and started to blow his saxophone once again as Chika also followed.
The gentle and loving song made their bodies shiver, and their ears became wet like they could have an orgasm, but Ishigami put down his saxophone and took the microphone.
"They're writing songs of love, but not for me
A lucky star's above, but not for me."
Chika felt her womb tremble, but she held it as she heard his sexy and deep voice, as she wished to make this performance perfect for him.
"With love to lead the way
I've found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play could guarantee."
'I lose...'
Adolphe sighed, but then he decided to enjoy the performance.
However, for a certain someone, she just kept staring at Ishigami as she couldn't look away and thought that it was really impossible to forget about him.
