Chapter 63 Soufflé Accessories
But Akina Ama showed no sign of leaving, so Miyaji had no choice but to sit with her in the "maid" café, waiting for their shift to change.
He stared at Akina Ama's face for a while, but Akina Ama seemed completely oblivious, ordered a coffee, and then drank it contentedly.
Well, it seems there's no way to distract her now. I'll deal with it later, Miyaji thought to himself.
Before they knew it, it was noon. Miyako changed out of his maid outfit and came out again. Akina noticed his expression... there seemed to be a hint of regret in it?
"Sigh, it's a pity I can't just leave wearing this outfit." Gong You shrugged.
It was because Amako Akina was still there that he was more motivated, and he even decided to wear the outfit directly after realizing her preferences.
However, the class monitor rejected this suggestion.
"Ayu, do you like that outfit that much?" Akina Amami asked, still a little surprised.
Gong You glanced at her and pursed his lips: "I don't really care, but Mina seems to like it, so I'm planning to wear it a little longer."
He only felt a sense of novelty when he put it on and showed it off.
"You'd better not wear it, it makes me feel a little disgusted," Gong Zhi said, frowning.
"If you feel disgusted, then feel disgusted." As he spoke, Gong You even pulled down his eyelids and stuck out his tongue. Clearly, he was still holding a grudge against Gong Zhi for capturing him earlier.
Otherwise, he could have gone to the school festival with Mina long ago!
However, this also has its advantages. Since Mina never left, Aji was unable to monopolize her time.
"Alright, alright, it's afternoon. Let's go check out the show in the auditorium." Akina Amami stood up and patted the two of them on the shoulder.
She heard that a group activity would be organized in the afternoon, but she didn't know what it was.
"Minna, aren't you hungry?" Miyaji asked.
Turning around, he pulled out a rice ball from somewhere and started eating it. Seeing that Amiho Akina had turned around, he pulled out another rice ball and handed it to her.
Gong You sat down directly and took a rice ball as well: "As expected, Zhu Zhi knows how to prepare lunch."
Akina Amako sighed, accepted the rice ball, and sat down again.
"I'm not that hungry, but then again, let's eat first before we go."
-
Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at the auditorium together.
Music is playing, and the host is standing on the stage, loudly announcing that an opinion conference will be held today, meaning that people will be randomly selected to come up and express their opinions on things like the school.
After realizing something was wrong, Akina Amane quietly leaned against the wall; she didn't want to be chosen in this kind of situation.
"You, the blue-eyed girl over there! Please come up on stage and share your opinion!" Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and the host, with his sharp eyes, spotted her.
Akina Amane was hesitant to leave, but the host urged her on.
"Go ahead and go up," Miyaji said in a low voice.
She sighed, walked towards the stage, and stood under the spotlight.
"So, what's your name, student?" The host handed her the microphone.
Akina Amami took a deep breath: "I am Akina Amami."
"Alright—Tianhui, please share your thoughts now! Feel free to say whatever you want!"
As the host spoke, he shoved the microphone toward her face.
Akina Amazu really didn't know what to say. There was a commotion and whispers below, probably discussing her.
"I...uh, that..." she stammered, trying to find something she could say that would be discussed.
Gong You frowned as he looked at the girl on the stage, who stood there awkwardly. He also heard the whispers around him and asked Gong Zhi in a low voice, "Should we help in this situation?"
We can't just ignore her like she's a joke.
Before Miyaji could answer, Miyayu pulled him to his feet—yes, they had just found a place to sit down, and someone had offered them their seat.
"We have something to say!" Gong You's voice was loud, and the host looked at him in surprise.
"They are our volleyball team's twin stars. We welcome your opinions. What would you like to say?"
The people below started to jeer, after all, the two of them were quite famous in the school.
Miyaji had a bad feeling. This guy was definitely trying to divert everyone's attention with some sensational topic, but saying it in public would only push Mina into another fire pit.
Akina Tensui also sensed something was wrong, so she quickly took out her phone and sent a message to the group chat.
[Tian Sui: Yu, what are you trying to say?]
Gong You felt his phone vibrate, took it out, cleared his throat, and continued loudly, "What I want to say is, I have someone I like!"
The host looked even more excited; if he could leave the stage, he would have rushed down and shoved the microphone into Gong You's hands.
"So, who is the person you like?"
Miyaji sighed, closed his eyes, and silently pressed his temples. He knew that Yuu would do this.
On stage, Akina Amako couldn't help but swallow hard, her ominous premonition growing stronger; she didn't want to lose face.
Seeing that Gong You had not yet replied, she anxiously sent another message.
[Tian Sui: Whatever you want to say, just sit down!]
Before Gong You could even say anything, he saw the message on his phone. He couldn't very well tell Mina directly that he liked her.
...That makes sense. If I said it under these circumstances, Amaho Akina would definitely be angry.
Gong You awkwardly sent a message.
[Gong You: It's nothing. Anyway, I've diverted everyone's attention, isn't that good?]
Gong Zhi also checked his phone and saw that the audience was becoming more agitated because of Gong You's lack of response and his somewhat explosive words. He grabbed Gong You's arm, took a step forward, and said, "He misspoke. What he meant was that he really likes volleyball and that he will lead the volleyball team to win the championship in the new year."
The host's face lit up with sudden realization: "I see! Then we can celebrate the honor these twins have brought us in advance!"
The people below had no doubts, the initial commotion ended, and Amaho Akina took the opportunity to step down from the stage, letting out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Aji spoke first, otherwise Ayu would definitely have said something ridiculous.
Right after she stepped down, Gong You and Gong Zhi walked towards her.
Gong You, however, seemed oblivious to his own shortcomings: "How about that? I just helped you out of that predicament."
He looks like he's seeking praise.
Akina glanced at him, ignored him, and turned to look at Miyaji: "Just now, thank you, Osamu. Your words successfully diverted the audience's attention."
Speaking like Gong You will only make you the center of attention!
Gong You immediately deflated, pouting, "Why do you only praise Zhu Zhi? That's not fair."
"How dare you say that? The things you just said will only cause a bigger disturbance." Amaho Akina sighed.
"What? If I hadn't said those things first, those people down there would definitely still be watching you," Gong You said.
After all, Miyaji's words were just platitudes in a strict sense, but they just happened to work at that particular moment.
“But if I don’t stop you, the audience will still be watching Mina.” Miyaji said expressionlessly.
Akina Tensui glanced at the two of them a few times.
The two of them are becoming more and more obvious, but... she doesn't reject them.
"Alright, let's go look at something else. Anyway, let's not stay here." She didn't want to be called up again later, and Amamiya couldn't help but show a bitter face.
Miyaji: "Let's go somewhere else."
He took two steps back and gave Miya Yu a slightly provocative smile. Even without resorting to exaggerated methods to attract Mina's attention, he could still get her to notice him in other ways.
However, since they couldn't reach a conclusion, they might have no choice but to follow Mingnai's idea.

The rest of the shows weren't very interesting.
During the volleyball team's performance, these two seemed to be the main characters, but the plot had been drastically altered and completely changed, making it almost impossible to recognize the original story. Moreover, their performance was mediocre and lacked any highlights.
After they stepped off the stage, Akina Amane just sighed and shook her head: "You two are better off not participating in any more performances."
The audience was getting a little sleepy watching their performance.
"Is it really that bad? I think it's great." Gong You pointed to himself in disbelief.
“Your performance didn’t look very good; my performance was better than yours,” Miyaji said.
“No, you two are evenly matched,” said Akina Amaho.
The three of them wandered around the school for a while longer, but there really wasn't much left to see, and the day was almost over.
Finally, they went up to the rooftop together.
"This is something I found today, I'm giving it to Akina," Miyako said, taking a small pendant out of her pocket and handing it to Akina.
He bought it before looking for Akina Amaho, because he felt that the keychain resembled her.
It was a rubber pendant of a brown fox.
Akina Amane paused for a moment, then said, "But I don't have anything to give you."
Although she had a lot of fun at the school festival, she forgot to buy anything and only now remembered that she could give them gifts.
Miyaji took out his phone and waved it. A keychain was hanging on it. Akina Amako glanced at it and saw that it was a rubber keychain with a silver fox on it.
“It’s okay, the three of us will each have one. Yours was bought by Yu and me together,” Gong Zhi said.
Gong You also took out his phone, which had a golden fox pendant on it, the opposite of what he had seen.
"When did you hang it up?" She remembered that when they took out their phones before, they didn't have this pendant.
As she spoke, she casually hung the pendant on her phone as well.
Now the three of them were using matching pendants, and Gong You's lips curled up slightly.
Gong Zhi nodded and said, "I changed it just before I went up to the rooftop."
Coincidentally, they were one step behind Amaho Akina.
“Yes, that way when others see us, they’ll definitely think we have a good relationship,” Gong You said.
"Thank you." Akina Amako reached out and patted the two of them on the head, revealing a genuine smile.
She won't replace the pendant; she'll find a way to preserve it longer once she gets home.
