Chapter 381: Giving Silently because You Like It

The sky square built high in the sky is a major feature of the Cloud Tower. The broad sight here allows you to see places far and wide.

This time, LoveLive’s competition venue was chosen here.

At this time, a luxurious open-air stage has been set up in the center of the square. Although it has not officially started yet, many people have gathered here to watch the game.

These are people who are more concerned about idol activities. If the Star Warrior Festival hadn't attracted some people, there would be even more people here today.

Of course, these people can still see the broadcast of the Star Warrior Festival here. The surrounding screens are everywhere. The idol competition has not started yet, so naturally it is the Star Warrior Festival being broadcast.

Backstage at the open-air stage, all the contestants who had successfully advanced to this round were already on stage and starting to prepare.

But in a small room, there was a burst of exclamation.

"Hey~!?"

The nine girls in the Muse all stared at Yatogami Tohka next to Anzhe. Their shocked gazes made Yatogami Tohka a little at a loss.

She couldn't help but pull Anzhe's sleeve: "Did I do something wrong..."

"Uh, it's nothing. They just recognized you."

Anzhe spread his hands helplessly, and then looked at the nine muses: "Well, don't look surprised. The matter is actually quite complicated. I will explain it to you as briefly as possible."

Then, he explained why the elf princess was here with him.

Of course, he just briefly summarized what happened to Yatogami Tohka when he ran out last time, and made up an excuse to explain why Yattogami Tohka stayed with him temporarily.

The nine girls looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know how to express themselves.

I picked up the elf princess who sneaked out. The latter was angry and wanted to play in the magic city, so she stayed at An Zhe's house...

Why would such a noble person stay with An Zhe...

"O-that's amazing... this is the first time I've seen a living princess!"

Honoka Takasaka suddenly muttered something like this, and Anzhe naturally heard it clearly, but Emperor Guo's words made him have a dark look on his face...

Seeing the cute expression on Emperor Guo's eyes, Anzhe couldn't help but stretched out his finger and flicked her forehead.

"Ah! It hurts, it hurts..."

Honoka Takasaka stroked her forehead and gave Anzhe a dissatisfied look: "Why did you hit me..."

"Because you are the people I trust, that's why I told you about Toh Xiang. However, please don't tell this. Although not everyone knows Toh Xiang, there is no guarantee that an accident will happen."

An Zhe said this, but Honoka Takasaka said indifferently: "Huh? What's the big deal? Everyone likes Princess Tohka... and Princess Tohka's strength is super high!"

The King of Fruits said this, staring at Yatogami Tohka, whose attention had been drawn away by the people walking around him.

"So, what I'm worried about is not Shixiang, but the people who accidentally offended Shixiang..." Anzhe said in a dumbfounded voice.

If an extremist, such as AST, encounters Tohka and causes Tohka to cause a small space earthquake or something, it shouldn't be a problem to level half of the Demon City to the ground...

"Uh..." After hearing Anzhe's words, Takasaka Honoka suddenly stopped talking.

An Zhe gave another warning. They were not the kind of ignorant people, and they immediately promised not to tell anyone. An Zhe felt a little relieved and made up his mind to be more careful about these things in the future.

Ayase Eri looked at Anzhe's relaxed tone, but felt a little inexplicably depressed.

She looked at An Zhe, and finally couldn't hold it back anymore, so she asked in a low voice: "An Zhe, you... who are you..."

"Why?"

Anzhe was slightly surprised, and after hearing Ayase Eri's words, the Muses couldn't help but calm down, and stared at Anzhe with their eyes.

Waiting for his answer.

They had actually been curious about An Zhe's identity for a long time. This boy who suddenly appeared in their lives had unknowingly become accustomed to his presence.

He has been silently accompanying a few of them, silently encouraging and supporting them.

Whenever a few people finish training and quietly enjoy the wind, they will always think of this boy's warm and gentle smile from time to time.

but……

They have never wanted to admit that they know nothing about An Zhe.

There is always a feeling that this boy may suddenly leave them one day and disappear from their lives.

He seemed... to be burning all the time, warming them all, but emptied himself.

An Zhe looked at the girls, and the familiar looks seemed to be deeply imprinted in his heart, so unforgettable. Seeing them staring at him, he suddenly laughed.

Walking to Ayase Eri, Anzhe stretched out his hand to tuck her hanging hair behind her ears.

"Hey, Eri. What are you worried about?"

A soft voice came out, making Ayase Eri startled. She lowered her head and crossed her arms.

"I always feel that Anzhe is outside of us, as if he will disappear in the blink of an eye. Sometimes I suddenly wonder if Anzhe will not be the Anzhe we know the next time we meet..."

Anzhe's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned to look at the others: "Do you feel the same way..."

The Muses were silent. They could not deny that what Ayase Eri said was true.

"Don't be silent...Kotori, tell me why...why you think so..."

Nan Qinli was stunned for a moment, stared at Anzhe for a while, and then took a breath.

"Hey, An Zhe, I actually miss the past very much. At that time we first met, we composed music together, trained together, and sang together. Along the way, An Zhe helped us a lot, but... we never did anything for An Zhe What have you done..."

There is never any selfless contribution in this world. If it is just a unilateral contribution from one party, then what kind of relationship is between the two parties...

Several girls looked at each other there, with a hint of frustration in their eyes.

The expression on Anzhe's face had returned to calm. He finally understood. Are these girls frustrated because they don't understand him and can't help him?

But why do I have to silently pay so much for them? It's not because I like them so much...

Hey, although I am very happy, you are too straightforward...

He looked at a few people and suddenly smiled and shook his head.

"Well, it's true. I thought something happened. It shocked me."

As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand, gently hugged Nan Qinli, held her in his arms, and caressed the back of her head with his palm.

"Fool... don't think too much..."
