Shokugeki no Soukai

The huge studio was cold and silent, and the seats were dim. Only the stage was illuminated by the spotlight, as if it was divided into a world of light and darkness.

At this time, Honoka and the other two were standing behind the curtain, looking at the blood-red curtain, wondering what they were thinking.

The three of them held hands, as if they were afraid that the other person would run away, or that they would run away the moment the curtain opened.

It seemed that only by holding the hands of their companions could they give themselves a little courage.

Although they were not nervous before, when the three of them came to the stage, their heartbeats began to speed up as if they were about to jump out of their chests.

"1","2","3"

As the three of them reported their own numbers, they looked at each other and laughed softly.

Although the three of them were very nervous at this time, this was exactly the purpose of their efforts for so many days. They became idols with the purpose of saving the academy, and this first concert was their debut.

No matter how many people came, they had to give Muse's first concert a perfect ending.

However, when the red curtain in front of the three of them slowly opened, looking at the scene in front of them, the expressions of the three of them suddenly changed. Standing on the stage, Honoka Kousaka and the other two looked at the silent seat, her mouth slightly opened, but she couldn't utter a word.

Honoka's face, which usually always had a smile on it, was now confused, and her eyes were trembling slightly.

Yes, confused.

Anyone who saw this empty and desolate scene with high expectations would surely be at a loss.

Disbelief, surprise, how could it be possible, why was it like this. Thoughts like these came to her mind like a tangled mess.

An extremely sad feeling emerged in her heart, and Kousaka Honoka just stood there for a long time.

Looking at the dazed Honoka beside her, Minami Kotori bit her lips tightly, her eyes were sore, and tears flickered in them."Konoka...、、、、、、"

"Small fruit、、、、、、"Umi Sonoda slightly turned her eyes away, her eyes revealing reluctance.

Because this is too cruel.

These days, how much energy they have spent preparing for this performance, only they know best.

In the face of many people's indifference and ridicule, they insisted on the goal of becoming idols.

It was not easy to get the songs used in the concert, and it took a lot of time and sweat to remember the dance steps, and they worked hard to prepare the costumes for the performance.

They really tried hard, and tried their best.

After all, they are just ordinary high school students, students who have not yet entered the society. And they have done everything they can.

But in return, it is an extremely cold reality.

The rows of empty seats and the cold and lonely scene are like a laugh, shattering the fantasies of the three of them, scattering on the ground, and they can't pick them up at all.

At this time, the empty studio is just like their mood at this time, empty and empty.

Honoka lowered her head slightly, her hair fell down to cover her face, leaving a shadow.

Can't cry. Absolutely can't cry.

Honoka told herself to be strong in her heart.

She pursed her lips and tried her best to stop herself from being sad.

But tears welled up in her eyes, and she didn't even dare to blink, for fear that the tears would flow down.

If she couldn't help crying, Xiao Niao and Xiao Hai would definitely be sad too.

So she must not cry!

"Sure enough, it's not that simple."Honoka slowly raised her head. She tried her best to make her expression happier, but the result was just a smile that was uglier than crying. Her trembling lips and the tears accumulated in her eyes showed her mood at the moment.

"Small fruit、、、、、、"

Looking at their best friend who was pretending to be strong, Minami Kotori and Sonoda Umi's tone revealed the sadness that could not be concealed.

They had worked hard together, so they naturally understood how Honoka felt at the moment.

Looking down, Minami Kotori was also filled with unspeakable sadness and disappointment.

Not only did no one come to watch their concert, but even 'he' did not come.

‘Tap tap tap、、、、、、’

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the silent and slightly dim studio.

The sudden footsteps immediately attracted the sad Honoka and the other two.

The three of them looked towards the main door of the studio, as if they all wanted to know who would come in from where.

""Huh, it seems we've made it."

Seeing Ye Lin trotting in from the main entrance, the three of them were stunned.

They were a little worried that they would be late, but they didn't expect that they didn't hear them singing after they came over, and it was obvious that they arrived in time.

Seeing that the three of them were looking at him, Ye Lin immediately scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.

"I'm so sorry, because I'm not from this school, so they wouldn't let me in. So in the end, I had no choice but to climb over the wall and sneak in."

Hearing Ye Lin's words, Nan Xiaoniao was stunned and immediately reacted. No matter what time it is, it seems that people who are not students of this school are generally not allowed to come in.

Looking at the empty venue around him, how could Ye Lin not know what happened here.

Obviously, for Honoka and the others who have no fame, no one came back to listen to their concerts.

Looking at the three people on the stage, even though he was very sad and frustrated, he still held back his tears.

At that moment, Ye Lin really felt that the three girls on the stage were amazing.

If it were someone else, seeing that their hard work had such a result, they would probably have cried a long time ago.

""Brother Lin, you are too mean. You only care about yourself and run away first."

At this moment, a voice sounded again in the empty hall. Honoka looked up and immediately saw Yukihira Soma and Isshiki Hui and others walking slowly and angrily.

They didn't want to come in at first, but seeing Ye Lin come in, they followed in to get a free meal.

It was just a simple climb over the wall, not a problem at all.

"Now that the audience has arrived, can we start your performance, three lovely ladies?"Sitting down at the front, Ye Lin's voice suddenly appeared in the ears of the three people.

"Ye Jun、、、、、、"

Looking at Ye Lin who was sitting in the front row and looking straight at her, tears welled up in the corners of Honoka's eyes again.

But it was different from the previous ones. The previous tears were of sadness, but this time, they were of emotion.

Although there were only a few people, it was much better than the empty appearance before.

In a few obscure corners that Honoka didn't know, a few cute girls stood there slowly and watched what was happening here.

"Come on!" Looking at the three girls standing on the stage, Soma Yukihira immediately gave them a thumbs up.

Yoshino Yuuki and the others who followed closely behind also kept cheering for Honoka and the others.

Hearing Ye Lin and the others' cheers, Honoka and the other two wanted to cry. They looked at each other and saw the touch of emotion on each other's faces. After taking a deep breath, Honoka quickly calmed herself down.

Then, she took a step forward.

"Let's begin - the show! Let's give it our all!"

"Eh?" Nan Xiaoniao and the others were both stunned."Xiaoguo、、、、、、"

"Isn't it for this moment that we have been working so hard until now?" Honoka didn't look back, her eyes were fixed on the countless audience seats in front of her.

"Kotori, Umi, are you willing to give up without doing anything?"

Honoka's voice was filled with unwillingness and determination. That voice was like a ray of light that cleared the fog, shocking both Kotori and Minami.

"That's true." Nan Xiaoniao showed a relieved smile on her face. After so much hard work, who would be willing to let it all go to waste?

"Well, it's really hard to give up without doing anything."Umi Sonoda smiled and nodded at Honoka who was standing in the front.

Seeing the two childhood friends say this, Kousaka Honoka's mouth suddenly cracked into a bright smile.

She stretched out her hand to the two of them.

"Let’s get started – Muse’s first show!"

""Yes!!!" Minami Kotori and the other girl nodded vigorously, took Honoka's hand, and the three of them stood side by side.

Then, the music started, and the stage suddenly went dark.

Then, a huge spotlight shone on the three of them from top to bottom, making them the only shining presence in this studio.
