Tokyo Bubble Life

The night campus of Waseda University is full of joyful atmosphere. Students are walking among colorful banners and various small vendors, making it as lively as if they were at a temple fair.

Under the soft light of the landscape lights, the cherry blossoms in the campus have a warm feeling, eliminating the sad and beautiful connotation.

Under the dim light, people have to be very close to recognize each other. Naoki Nagayama and Kaede Nagayama, a pair of relatively famous cousins, walked among the crowd, but no one recognized them, as if Just like a pair of ordinary college students.

“This is the cherry blossom festival at the university~” Kaede Nagayama picked up the takoyaki with a long bamboo stick and complained while eating, “It’s similar to the temple fair at Kiyomizu Temple. I thought it would be a little more advanced.”

"High-end?" Nagayama Naoki was also eating Taiyaki, "In most activities such as carnivals, temple fairs, and festivals, you can't escape eating, drinking, and having fun. There are only a few kinds of snacks, and at most there are a few local specialties; the main thing is It’s something to play with, and it will change according to the theme~”

“So, the main thing is to see what today’s theme performance is like, right?”

“Brother Kaede, aren’t we here to watch Tsuruko’s performance?” Nagayama Naoki gestured to the big bag in his hand, “I’ve even prepared the support props.”

Seeing this, Yongshan Feng showed a look of disgust on his face, "Wait a minute, do we really have to do this? It feels too social!"

“Of course this is a specially prepared gift for Tsuruko!”

 Naoki Nagayama has a smile on his face~

The activities of the Sakura Season include the stadium and the roads outside. As the organizer of the Cherry Blossom Festival, the student union officials of Waseda University are doing final inspections at the stage in the center of the event.

 “Is the host ready?”

"Hi!"

 “Rehearsal of a theme play?”

 “Ready!”

 “Prizes for mini-game interaction?”

"no problem!"

 “Students participating in the shamisen competition?”

 “Everyone is here!”

 “A folk performance group?”

Tsuruko and the team members, who had already changed into performance clothes, quickly replied: "Hey, we are ready!"

Seeing that she was about to perform on stage, Nagayama Tsuruko, whose face was painted like a geisha, was still a little nervous. What should she do if her performance is not good? What should I do if everyone in the audience is watching? What should I do if my voice breaks?

But no matter how thick the powder is on my face, no one can recognize me!

 "Tsuruko-chan, you are just a daddy!" Her best friend Junsui Ishii came to cheer her up. "Iwai-san, Kaneda-san, and I will cheer you on!"

  “.You’re even more nervous now that you say that!”

At this time, the students outside had slowly begun to gather at the central stage. Since they were about the same age, Nagayama Naoki and Nagayama Kaede were mixed in like a drop of water flowing into a lake~

Only occasionally when someone looks at Yongshan Feng and sighs, which member of the fitness club came over, this muscle mass is really good~

 Iwai Dayo and Kaneda Landi are also pushing in the crowd. They want to stand in the front row to watch their good friends perform today!

Yes, we are still good friends. Kaneda Dalu has never had the courage to confess his love since he learned about Nagayama Tsuruko’s background as the gangster lady last time~

The two of them obviously have a lot of feelings for each other. Even Iwai Dayo and Tsuruko’s best friend Ishii Junsui are not together. Good friends want to be singles together!

"Kanada! You must seize the opportunity today! This is the last moment of the Sakura Festival!" Taiyo Iwai finally reached the front row, pulled Kanada Dalu over, adjusted his glasses and said.

"Hey, I'm ready. Even if I'm the eldest lady of the Yamaguchi-gumi team, I still want to show my feelings to Tsuruko!" Kaneda Dalu nodded solemnly, "I'm ready for Tsuruko-chan."

“Hey, hey, you don’t need to tell me, I’ve told you so many times in the dormitory!”

 Iwai Daiyo and Kaneda Dajun are currently living in a shared house, and every night they hear Kaneda Dalu’s thoughts.

　　"Tell Tsuruko everything you have been holding in your heart tonight!"

 “Hi! Just tonight! Be sure to tell Tsuruko!”

At this moment, a sentence suddenly came from the side: "What are you talking about with Tsuruko?"

"Huh? Of course it is." Kaneda Dalu thought it was Iwai Dayo. Just as he was about to turn his head, he realized that Iwai Dayo was in another direction, "Iwai? Did you just speak?"

"No?" Dayo Iwai turned his head in confusion, and then his face suddenly began to change.

Kanada Dalu saw Iwai Dayo looking behind him, and he instantly realized something. Then his shoulders sank, and he found a strong hand pressing on his shoulders, and at the same time, a deep voice sounded:

 “Tell me, what do you want to say to Tsuruko?”

Slowly turning around, Yongshan Feng's strong figure appeared in front of him. His originally not ferocious face looked quite oppressive on such a body.

“Brother Feng?” Jintian Dalu was very impressed by this man.

"?" Yongshan Feng took a closer look before reacting, "Oh, it turns out it's you. Hezi's senior is calling. What's going on?"

 “Kanada Continent.” Then someone whispered next to him, “Iwai Taiyang.”

“Haha, yes, it’s you two!” Yongshan Feng said with a smile, “You are also here to cheer for Tsuruko, right? Did you just want to say cheers to Tsuruko?”

".Hi!"

The two people nodded repeatedly and trembled. No matter what they said, it didn't matter anymore. They just wanted to cheer!

On the other side, Nagayama Naoki wiped his face and couldn't even look at it. That guy must be confessing to him!

I have flowers in my hands!

At this moment, Nagayama Kaede patted Nagayama Naoki on the shoulder: "This is Tsuruko's brother, Nagayama Naoki."

 Authentic uncle! Jintian Dalu quickly bowed and said hello: "This is the first time we meet, I am Jintian Dalu."

Nagayama Naoki could only nod: "This is the first time we meet, I am Nagayama Naoki."

Seeing this handsome face, the two college students realized that this guy is Naoki Nagayama!

A living star!

 Tsuruko mentioned it before!

 I suddenly felt excited~

The performance gradually began, more and more people gathered in the center of the event, and lights and fireworks were set off.

"Welcome everyone to the Sakura Festival" The host on the stage began to make an opening speech, which was nothing more than thanking so-and-so for organizing and sponsoring the event. "Now, let us enjoy the theme drama, Sakura is Falling~ "

Japan’s theater culture is very strong, and the Takarazuka Theater Company is very famous. Even many actors came from the theater company. The drama club of Waseda University is naturally very professional, and the original love story, interpreted by the students, really looks like it~

 When the performance ended, there was naturally a burst of warm applause.

 After the mini-games and interactions, there is the official shamisen competition. Representatives from several colleges perform on stage one after another, and ultimately the audience will vote~

However, most of the shamisen performances tend to be sad and mournful, which makes the lively atmosphere a lot quieter.

 Finally it was time for the folk performance.

Tsuruko in the background took a deep breath and slowly walked onto the stage. In front of him was the dark crowd~

As the music played, the classic Japanese folk song "Sakura" was sung from Tsuruko Nagayama's voice:

“さくらsakuraさくらsakura”

The ethereal and eerie voice sounded from the stage, and a layer of goosebumps instantly appeared on Naoki Nagayama's neck. This ballad is poisonous, how could it be so terrifying!

Nagayama Naoki felt that he heard it wrong, otherwise why would he feel like a scary ghost was calling his soul in the middle of the night? It seems that the next moment I will be taken on a shortcut to hell!

Looking around in a blink of an eye, other college students seemed to be immersed in such a voice, as if they saw the cherry blossoms of heaven in the ethereal voice!

 Sure enough, he is different from them!

 Shaked his head and touched the skin on his arms to calm down the goosebumps. Nagayama Naoki took out the specially prepared gift from the bag he was carrying.

 Hezi, you actually used the underworld ditty to scare me. You are unkind, so don’t blame me for being unjust!

　　Poked Brother Feng’s arm and motioned for him to pick up a corner of the gift.

Yong Shanfeng’s mouth twitched, and he really wanted to refuse, but under the threat of his cousin’s eyes, he reluctantly picked it up. But when he saw the two people next to him, his expression relaxed:

“You two, come here and help me~”

 “Nani?”

“This is a support item. Come on, help hold this, and help us lift it up later!”

 “Ah, hi!” The two guys didn’t dare to refuse.

When the song was finished, the audience burst into warm applause. Although it sounded very hellish, this ballad was still widely sung in the island country. Tsuruko’s voice was ethereal and melodious, and she performed it very well.

Nagayama Tsuruko bowed on the stage to express his gratitude, and then waved his hands happily, feeling that the hard rehearsals during this period had finally paid off!

 The crowd in the audience was so dark that most of their faces could not be seen clearly, but those in the first row were all acquaintances!

 Kanada Continent, Iwai Dayang, and next to him is Brother Kaede? ! He is here too! And my brother came over to cheer us up! Wait, what did they come up with?

well? Does it look like a banner? Why is it so big?

 Why is it so colorful?

Autumn bean sack, why does that look like a photo?

 That’s my photo?

 “Bang bang!” Two fireworks were released, which diverted people’s attention.

The huge support item was opened, and above it were photos that Tsuruko Nagayama had taken before. She had helped take a lot of them with her camera. She was still in high school at that time, and she was very young in a kimono~

Nagayama Naoki specially found a photo studio and developed Tsuruko’s photos~

The super giant one is posted on the banner, and then stickers are placed around the photo~

Next to it was written in highlighter pen "Tsuruko is the most beautiful!" "Tsuruko is the best at singing!"~

 In the first row, fluorescent materials were used and fireworks were placed. As soon as this huge support object was raised, it attracted the attention of everyone in the audience in an instant!

 “Oh **** ho~ That’s great!” “Creative!” “That’s the person who performs! His name is Tsuruko!” “Awesome! In every sense of the word!”

The buzzing discussion in the audience suddenly became louder, with a lot of laughter.

Hezi on the stage felt a little mixed at this moment, a little surprised, a little angry, a little shy, and a little inexplicable. Excited? !

 It is indeed a good gift!

“Tsuruko-kun, those are your friends!” The host came to smooth things over with a smile, “What a rare kindness!”

 “.Hehehe, yes~” Tsuruko tried to stay calm!

 “How could they think of such a method?!”

 “Haha, I want to ask too~”

“Oh, let’s do an interview then!” The host saw the excitement and didn’t think it was a big deal, so he walked towards a few people and wanted to hand over the microphone, “These friends, please.”

But at this moment, the host noticed that two of them quickly evacuated, leaving two confused guys looking around.

“Well, what’s the name of this classmate?”

 “Golden Field Continent.”

 Change the perspective to the audience.

“Zhi Shu, you can really do it!” Yong Shanfeng put down the fireworks and said with a wicked smile, “You actually made me do bad things!”

“Brother Kaede also brought two helpers~” Nagayama Naoki looked at the two people holding up the photo banner and laughed, “They will be beaten by Tsuruko!”

 “Hahaha, that’s none of my business!”

Just as the discussion in the audience became more and more heated, Naoki Nagayama saw the host walking towards this side and quickly grabbed Kaede Nagayama:

 “Brother Feng, flash!”

"Eh?"

 “Do you want to be recognized by the students?”

Although the two of them would not be discovered if they were mixed in the crowd, once the spotlight shines on them, it would be hard to tell. Suzuran Overlord and Huaxin Naoki still have a certain reputation among young people! It will be very troublesome after being recognized. It may cause an accident!

“Ah, yes.” Yongshan Feng hurriedly handed all the banners to Jintian Continent, “I’ll leave this to you!”

Then he immediately used his size advantage to squeeze into the crowd with Naoki Nagayama.

 “Huh? What do you mean by leaving it to us?”

Jintian Dalu was a little confused, but at this moment, the host handed over the microphone.

 “This classmate, what is your name?”

 The good lighting engineer also turned the spotlight on the stage at this time to form a highlight.

The vast expanse of white dazzled Jintian Dalu, and the looks from the people around him made him even more nervous: "Jintian Dalu."

“Ah, Kaneda-san, are you Tsuruko-san’s friend?”

"Hi" Jintian Dalu felt his whole body tense, and he could hear the thumping sound of his heart in his ears.

 “Haha, you must have put a lot of thought into this support!” the host asked again with a smile.

"Forehead"

Jintian Dalu was a little speechless. This was prepared by his uncle. But the two of them ran away, but it was hard to tell their identities. Just like this, Jintian Dalu's face became redder and redder, and his head even felt dizzy. .

“Haha, it seems that our little brother is a bit shy.” The host said kindly, “Then, let’s borrow the microphone in front of you. Is there anything you want to say to Tsuruko?”

He originally wanted to ask Jintian Dalu to say some words of support. This is a common behavior of idol guards, calling their idols in front of the camera.

Jintian Dalu’s mind was already in chaos at this time. He opened his mouth but no sound came out.

The host encouraged: "Stupid tape, say it loudly!"

The buzz in the audience was so loud, the spotlights were so bright, the banner in my hand felt quite heavy, and the microphone in front of me put even more pressure on me.

Kanada Dalu looked up at a loss, and suddenly saw Nagayama Tsuruko on the stage. Although his face was covered with thick white makeup, he could not hide his eyes, which were as bright as the stars in the sky.

Seeing no reaction, the host said again: "This classmate."

 “Okay.” said softly.

The host did not hear clearly: "Classmate, what did you say?"

With the courage that came from nowhere, Jintian Dalu suddenly grabbed the microphone in front of him, took a deep breath, and said it loudly:

“Tsuruko-chan! I love you so much (I like you)!!!”

The square was silent at first, and then there was a roar and the sound exploded! !

 "Oh **** ho!" "Haha~" "Have a hand!" "Awesome! Awesome in every sense!" "Brother, come on!"

The boys started to applaud one after another, and some lively guys started to whistle, and even the girls laughed loudly, making the whole Sakura Festival extremely lively at the end.

 Hezi on the stage was tense all over, and he was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do~

At this time, Nagayama Kaede and Nagayama Naoki, who happened to squeeze out of the crowd, also heard the loud confession coming from the speakers.

Yong Shanfeng was stunned at first, and then he felt a lot of inexplicable emotions in an instant. The cabbage at home was eaten! !

Clenched his fists, he wanted to walk towards the guy before and let him know what the iron fist from Brother Tsuruko was!

But Nagayama Naoki stopped him:

“Brother Feng, forget it~ It’s not worth it, it’s not worth it!”

“Naoki, that’s your sister, my biological sister!” Yongshan Feng’s eyes widened.

“My own sister also gets married!” Nagayama Naoki sighed, “Tsuruko obviously has a crush on that guy too~”

 “Have a good impression? When and where did you see it?!”

If you don’t like me, will you ask me for tickets to the show? Are you taking others with you? Have you met Brother Feng?

"Anyway, believe me~" Nagayama Naoki said, "Let her handle the young people's affairs by herself!"

“Naoki, you are obviously only twenty years old! Don’t pretend to be an adult!”

Nagayama Naoki took Nagayama Kaede’s arm and walked outside

"I didn't expect that my support gift would actually become that guy's help." Thinking about this, I couldn't bear to accept it. "When that guy comes to officially visit me, I will make it difficult for him."

 “Wait, what if we break up?”

Nagayama Kaede heard this and showed a ferocious smile: "No one can get rid of my Tsuruko! Anyone who has this idea, I will definitely let him go to Tokyo Bay to calm down!"

At this time, Jintian Continent, who was so excited for a moment, felt a chill down his spine~

He raised his head and looked at Tsuruko on the stage.

Tsuruko’s eyes were looking over
