"Lixiang, are you leaving?" I saw a woman wearing a baseball cap and a large mask that could cover her face in front of an apartment door.

Opposite her is the protagonist this time, Lixiang. She is wearing an elegant dress that is neither eye-catching nor lost in the crowd. The black hair on her head falls vertically like a waterfall, and her bangs perfectly block her head.

"...Xonan, are you really okay?" Lixiang, who was about to leave, could tell that she was more uneasy than usual.

"It's okay, trust me! Just remember your lines." Xiaonan also tried to comfort Lixiang. Lixiang also has potential, otherwise she wouldn't learn so fast.

She has greatly improved Lixiang's disadvantage of being easily nervous, and the rest depends on Lixiang's own performance.

"Is it really not going to affect you?" Lixiang also confirmed with her again and again.

"No, I'm so hot right now." Xiaonan promised.

"Don't lie to me!" Lixiang always felt that something was wrong.

"It's okay, let's go, let's go." After Xiaonan finished speaking, she took the lead and walked out without giving Lixiang a chance to refute.

There was nothing to say along the way. Lixiang was practicing singing for a while. She was also reading a book silently. In fact, she didn't read much. She just didn't want to be nervous in front of Lixiang. It didn't mean that she wasn't nervous at all.

They arrived at the venue quickly. Because they set off relatively late, they saw that the venue was already crowded with people. Although Xiaonan's dress was more eye-catching, she was not noticed. In spring Japan, there are not too many passers-by wearing masks, and

Although wearing a hat is a bit eye-catching, usually no one will ask.

"Lixiang!?" After finally squeezing into the venue, they suddenly heard a familiar voice. They saw a rather heroic girl walking towards them. Even her long hair could not hide the inadvertent expression between her eyebrows.

Handsome.

"Na-chan~ You're here!" Lixiang took her hand up in surprise.

"Well! Lixiang, you passed the second trial!?" Nana's voice was also full of surprise. She thought she couldn't see Lixiang this time.

"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to Xiaonan..." After saying this, he remembered that Xiaonan was not very convenient right now, so he didn't continue.

"That's it. Speaking of which, I haven't even congratulated Konan yet~ Who is this?" Nana Okada looked curiously at the tightly covered person standing next to Rika.

"It's me ~ Nana." Because it was a bit confusing to call her Na-chan, Konan just called her by her name. She actually didn't know Nana very well either.

But Rika didn't know why but she got along well with Nana. If she hadn't come with Rika this time, she would have forgotten about this girl.

"Xiaonan?!" Hearing Nana's uncontrollable high-pitched voice, Xiaonan quickly made a silencing gesture towards her.

"Why are you here? Didn't you enter Nogizaka?" Nana lowered her voice and frowned slightly, worried for her.

"I'm here to accompany Lixiang~" Xiaonan explained.

"That's not possible..." Nana, who has always been serious, hesitated to speak. She wanted to remind her but felt that their relationship was not very familiar.

"Don't worry, I have a plan," Xiaonan smiled confidently at Nana and didn't let her continue, although she might not be able to see her smile even though she was wearing a mask.
