Chapter 24. The Concert is in Progress
"No...we're really just friends..."
Kaoru was forced to take several steps back by his suddenly appearing younger sister. At this moment, Rin appeared in front of him in the manner of a 'current girlfriend' who had caught her cheating.
This scene was witnessed by students passing by, and they began to discuss it.
[It really was true, that scumbag!]
[He even lied to such a cute child! I really want to punch him!]
Why is it that guys like this always seem to have the most girls around them?!
A group of third-grade boys walked by together, and the sound they made reached Xun's ears.
This is really a misunderstanding!
He didn't know how to explain, and fearing he would really get beaten up, Kaoru grabbed Rin's hand and pulled her away from this terrible place for the time being.
We arrived at the entrance of a specialty dessert shop.
Kaoru stopped walking, while Rin beside him still had a questioning look on her face.
He quickly organized his thoughts and began to answer her questions.
"Rin, you know that your great older brother is kind, warm-hearted, and gentle in front of the opposite sex, so how could I sit idly by when I saw Mizukami twist his ankle?"
"Oh... I twisted my ankle... Brother didn't lie to me, did he?"
Rin looked at him with a questioning expression, observing his reaction.
"It's absolutely true! If I were lying to you... I wouldn't be your greatest brother!"
While making the promise, Xun asked the shop assistant who was watching the commotion for two large ice cream cones, so that he wouldn't have time to watch the excitement.
"Oh, okay."
Rin couldn't see the problem with him, so she withdrew her gaze from him. After a while, two ice cream cones with a layer of strawberry jam evenly sprinkled on the surface appeared in Kaoru's hands.
It's her favorite dessert.
The moment she saw it, Rin's eyes lit up, as if she had completely forgotten what had just happened.
"For you."
Kaoru handed one to her, and after saying "Thank you, brother," Rin leaned closer and carefully licked the sweet strawberry jam off the cone with her tongue, looking very satisfied.
His happy expression made Xun belatedly realize that he hadn't gone shopping with his sister in a long time.
Yes, family is always the most important thing. Although there is no blood relation between the two, that barrier has long been broken down. Rin is the most important person to him, and that will never change.
After the concert, let's go have some fun in Ginza with Rin this weekend.
The male escort has quit his job, and it's time for him to spend more time with his family.
Okay, let's do it that way.
Xun made up her mind and flagged down a taxi on the side of the road.
Although there was still an hour before the concert started, the area around the concert venue was already packed with people.
The ticket checking inside the venue was incredibly slow, with the queue barely moving.
Rin was very excited and had been looking around ever since the beginning.
I'll be able to see Minami-chan soon!
"Brother, there will be an autograph session after the concert... I'm so excited to meet Minami-chan then!"
Rin pointed to the promotional sign hanging above her head, which indicated the time of the autograph session.
There were too many people watching the concert, so the autograph session was only open to the audience in the inner area. However, judging from the number of people present, the queue should take a long time.
To avoid dampening her sister's enthusiasm, Kaoru pretended to be very interested, muttering to herself, "This is really something to look forward to..."
[I'm not looking forward to it at all!]
Who would enjoy meeting someone who likes being followed?
In fact, he had long harbored the idea of escaping from here.
Why hasn't the team moved yet?
How long will this queue take?!
"Please show your e-ticket..."
After waiting in line for what felt like forever, staff members in uniforms finally appeared before us.
"Ah, please come in, thank you for your hard work."
The other person handed over two light sticks, along with some posters and postcards in a plastic-sealed transparent bag. Kaoru wasn't interested and tossed them all to Rin.
As she sat down, Kaoru felt a sense of liberation.
The queue is taking way too long. If he were at home, he could use that time to do something meaningful, such as reviewing his lessons, memorizing English words, or chatting with his classmates on the water to get closer to them.
During a casual chat... he suddenly remembered something important.
It seems the two haven't added each other on LINE, nor do they have any other way to contact each other.
Okay, I have a goal for next week.
He mentally listed out the things he needed to do.
Goal 1: Join a club (incomplete).
Objective 2: Add Shui Shang's LINE account (incomplete).
Objective 3: To get Kobayashi's assistance missions to reach 20%.
Target 4: To be determined...
As Xun was thinking, he suddenly felt the urge to urinate, so he stood up to find a toilet.
"Rin, I'm going to the restroom. Wait for me here."
"Okay, brother, come back soon."
The concert venue was unusually large, and Kaoru had to ask the staff for directions to find the restrooms.
After leaving the bathroom, he washed his hands at the sink and gazed at his flawless face in the mirror. Just as he was admiring his own handsome appearance, he heard a girl's excited and somewhat agitated voice from beside him.
"It's you."
Hearing the voice, Xun turned her head to look at the girl whose face was covered by a black mask. She noticed the girl's prominent mole under her eye, and after a moment of stunned silence, she realized what was happening.
It's this guy!
That weirdo who thinks it's fun to be stalked by a pervert!
Did you come to my concert? Who's your favorite character? Yuya, Miri, or me?
The other person leaned closer, and the scent of their hair filled my nostrils.
Xun took a step back, wondering whether she should turn around and run away, when two other girls wearing masks came out of the bathroom.
The two men glanced at him, quickly stepped forward, helped up the girl who was asking questions, and left in a hurry.
"Wait a minute! I don't know the answer to the question yet!"
"No, last time you ran away, Miri and I searched for a long time before we found you. This time, no matter what you say, you are not allowed to leave my sight."
"Yuzuya-chan, really..."
The conversation gradually faded away.
Xun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she would finally be free from being questioned by that strange guy.
He sat back down. The concert was about to begin, and the staff on stage were making preparations, adjusting the lights and checking the sound system.
After confirming that there were no problems, the lights around the venue were turned off, and the stage lights suddenly turned on.
The curtain was slowly drawn back, and three cutely dressed girls appeared in the center of the stage.
"Everyone! Long time no see! How are you all doing?"
It was the famous girl idol group, LOVE. When the three of them appeared, the venue was filled with deafening noise.
Xun covered her ears, feeling as if her eardrums were about to burst.
"Please end this quickly... I can't take it anymore..."
He muttered something under his breath.
The concert has started.
