Chapter 190

"The theme of the last day is Christmas and the final confession - please feel free to express yourself." On the night before the end of the filming, Fujimaru Ritsuka announced the final ending arrangements to the six people in the villa. "Although the final Q&A has been recorded, before the filming officially ends, please maintain the previous atmosphere."

"Yes, we understand."

On the last day, members who had no work arrangements started decorating the villa as soon as they woke up in the morning.

"Should we prepare one Christmas tree inside the house or one outside...or should we prepare two?" Kitaoji Sakura, who graduated from Seikou Academy and is a direct subordinate of Hoshimiya Strawberry, asked the other three members while looking out the window at the snow-covered courtyard.

"It's the last minute now, it shouldn't be too much to take advantage of the program team." Yicun Luansu spoke up to support the option of two Christmas trees, "Let's talk to the program team directly."

The other two did not comment on this, but when Aimura Ransu and Kitaoji Sakura left the villa to discuss with the program crew, they deliberately avoided each other's sight and began to exchange news with relatives and friends - after all, when it comes to Christmas, gifts are also an indispensable part of this day.

As for the only two members who still have jobs——

"You two have already done a perfect princess hug." Mei Fenglan leaned against the mirror, watching the two overly energetic juniors drinking water and resting during the rehearsal. "Looking like this now, there shouldn't be any problems with the official performance later - what's wrong, do you two have any problems?"

"Well, even though Senior Ai hasn't finished filming today—" Itsuki clapped his hands excitedly, "Do you want to go to the stage and take a look? After all, we haven't rehearsed on stage yet! And... the other Mix groups have already been there, but I heard that Senior Ai and Senior Reiji have not been to QUARTET☆NIGHT yet—"

"I understand." Mifuki Lan sighed helplessly and put down her arms. "Let's pack up and go directly to the stage. Teachers Hinata and Tsukimiya should be there. We can just go there."

When they arrived at the central stage, they happened to catch a Mix group rehearsing on the stage - the stage scenery had already been produced according to the requirements of each group, and the current rehearsal was basically to adjust the start time of the stage mechanism in conjunction with the idols' performances, and to let the idols experience the sound and accompaniment effects.

Just like the three people who now appear to have kicked open the huge iron cage on the stage - it is a perfect coordination of the mechanism, music, and idol performance movements.

"Fortunately, we didn't apply for such an agency that requires cooperation." Kiryu Inno-san sighed as he stood on the stage, "Our group really has the fewest agencies, right?"

"There are quite a few machines in the group's performance." Mikaze Lan looked around and found that there were a lot of people here today, which is rare. "No matter which group it is, at least one song will be full of machines. You HE★VENS are the only group that used a lot of machines in both songs."

Before the group rehearsal began, QUARTET☆NIGHT, whose performance order had always been sandwiched between the other two groups, had a rare casual chat that was not in line with their habits.

"Should I leave the door open for you two today?" Camus stood aside with his arms folded, and asked Shourenji and Mifuki Ayaka, who had the last day of filming.

"We will probably be leaving after dinner - Lan Lan will probably be the same, but they may have other things to shoot." Shoulingji glanced at Mifeng Lan who was standing on his right, "Although they may be back late - because some parts may need to be re-shot - but please leave the door open for us, Xiao Miao!"

"I see." Camus nodded and turned his gaze to his youngest son standing on his left. "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the filming over there, Meifeng?"

"No, it's not a big problem." Mikaze Lan shook her head, but still told her teammates about the problem that was bothering her at the moment, "I was thinking about giving him something - after all, it's the end. Even if it's just a fantasy story, this kind of show should have an ending like a fairy tale, right?"

"So you're thinking about this." Kurosaki Ranmaru, who was standing opposite Mikaze Ai, breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you were thinking about the lyrics of the new song..."

"? Ranmaru, do you miss the songs I wrote the lyrics for?"

"No no no Lan Lan, let's just forget it!!!"

"Meifeng, the only thing I hope you can be more careful about is writing lyrics."

"But, although I've prepared the ending of this story, I don't know what gift to choose to give." Mei Fenglan glanced at the performance costumes that had been modified several times by the costume designer and moved to the backstage. "Although according to our performance in that show, his preferences are quite obvious and consistent with his real appearance. But..."

"Are you troubled by the last choice?" Shoulingji simply stretched and winked at Mifeng Lan, "But I think it would be better not to choose something he likes? After all, you should have had a deep contact in this regard in your previous experience - maybe it would be better to consider the choice of gift from the perspective of love."

"Indeed." Camus agreed with Shoulingji's suggestion, "Perfume, or the artificial crystal series we endorse - I think these two should meet the requirements of this kind of gift. After all, they represent yourself. But Lavender Crystal products are probably not very suitable for him."

"But no matter what, just like the lyrics of HE★VENS's song - dye the other person with your color."

Mikaze Ai and Tsukioka Tsumugi returned to the villa one after the other - Kitaoji Sakura and Aemura Ransu not only received support in terms of decorations from the program team, but also in terms of manpower, and successfully completed the decoration of the entire villa before the only two people who were out for work came back.

The villa is hung everywhere with mistletoe and Christmas wreaths, and you can tell at a glance that they were decorated by the program crew to create an atmosphere - of course, there are some little tricks that are well known to everyone, but this is irrelevant for a love variety show.

"Well, since it's the last day - before we start eating, let the oldest among us say a few words."

"Why me...!?" Tsukioka Tsumugi stood up helplessly with the cup in her hand, "Well, in short, we have all had a beautiful love during this period of time - no matter where we will go in the future, at least before the end of tonight, our story will continue... Then, let's eat."

"I feel like I'm running out of words..."

“Indeed.”

"Was it a wrong choice for us to choose Tsumugi to speak?"

“…I can hear you.”

"cough."

When dinner is over, this shoot is coming to an end——

The three groups of CPs spontaneously dispersed to different areas, bringing this story to an end.

Track 1

"Although I think this may be a bit cliché as a gift." Artoria took Nishikino Maki to the big Christmas tree outside the door and took out a bunch of huge red roses from the pile of gifts under the Christmas tree, "But I still think this is the most suitable gift for you - and the most suitable gift to represent my feelings at this time."

"I didn't expect you to choose red roses as your gift today." Nishikino Maki took the roses and gave Artoria a shy smile, "I also prepared a gift for you—"

"What is it?"

"It's a song." Nishikino Maki pressed the play button on her phone, and a piano-played piece of music began to play. "As a composer, this is the only gift I can give you—"

"I like it very much. Because - this is a gift made by Maki herself, right?" Artoria looked at Maki Nishikino with a smile, and under the camera and the attention of the staff, she spoke the code that represented the end of the story, "I love you - may I kiss you?"

Track 2

"Because today is the last day, I thought I'd take the initiative for once."

Kitaoji Sakura brought Amura Ransu into the library upstairs - the six members had all complained about the layout of the library by the program team; however, the blazing fireplace by the wall now clearly became a unique advantage of the library.

"I want to give you this picture book that I like very much." Kitaoji Sakura took out the picture book that she had put in advance from the bookshelf and handed it to Ransaku Amura. "After all, I like Ransaku very much - no, I love Ransaku who will stand by my side."

"Thank you - ah, actually I wanted to bring you here too." Yicun Ransu took the picture book from Kitaoji Sakura with a smile, and took out a large bag of marshmallows and barbecue skewers hidden next to the bookshelf. "Although I thought about whether to give you another set of clothes, after all, I already gave you one on the date before -"

"So I listened to other people's suggestions and prepared a slightly more ordinary gift." Yicun Ranshu skewered marshmallows on the skewers and moved closer to the flame of the fireplace. "Although the person who gave the suggestion said that it is most appropriate to roast marshmallows by a campfire in the wild - but the flame of the fireplace is also good, isn't it?"

"On a snowy winter night, sitting by the fireplace with your lover, enjoying hot roasted marshmallows - I think there is no happier time than now, Sakura."

"Besides, you are as soft and sweet as cotton candy."

Track 3

"You are here."

Pushing open the glass door of the rooftop garden, Mifuze Lan found Tsukioka Tsumugi who had left the restaurant earlier as expected.

"Ah, today is over, but I haven't had a good look at the children in this villa. Although they haven't been named like the flowers in the dormitory courtyard, I still want to take some time to see them." Tsukioka brushed off the thin layer of snow on the bench and sat down, looking at the flowers wrapped in silver in front of her, "They are so beautiful."

"Indeed." Mikaze Aoi sat down next to Tsukioka Tsumugi. When she looked up, she noticed that the production team had hung a circle of mistletoe on the roof. "Give me your hand, Tsumugi."

"Huh?"

"Okay, hurry up."

"ah……"

"How is it?"

"This scent..." Tsukioka Tsumugi raised her wrist and sniffed the spot where Mikaze Lan had just sprayed perfume on her. "I didn't expect Lan to choose such a girly perfume."

"It was their idea - they said they wanted to give me perfume or something." Mifuze Lan puffed up her cheeks and moved closer to Tsukioka Tsumugi's cheek, "This is a personal impression perfume that the agency once made - I love you, so let's dye it with my color, my scent, and synchronize with everything about me."
