At the same time.
On the other side.
Inside the school.
Chihaya Anon planned to explore the school's clubs.
At Hirasaawa Yui's invitation, Anon first came to the Light Music Club.
The girls of the Light Music Club were as warm and hospitable as ever.
Their relaxed, cheerful, and leisurely atmosphere immediately infected Chihaya Anon.
However,
It was precisely because their atmosphere was so good!
It made Chihaya Anon feel a little reluctant to intrude.
Of course, she was confident she could get along well and happily with everyone.
It's just that,
Why aren't they practicing?
Staring at the refreshments in front of her.
Chihaya Anon was slightly puzzled.
Although it wasn't impossible to sit comfortably and chat like this!
But, everyone had been resting for almost an hour!
Anon was also thinking that if she joined the Light Music Club, she might have a chance to perform on stage during the cultural festival.
However, if they didn't practice properly, they probably wouldn't be able to perform at the cultural festival, right?
She heard that this school's cultural festival was quite grand, and there were many students.
By then, she would stand in the center of the stage, become the center of the band, be the lead vocalist and guitarist, and then be featured in a promotional report by the news club…
Hehehe…
Chihaya Anon's mouth curved into a goofy smile.
Hirasaawa Yui: "What's wrong? Anon-chan, you're smiling so strangely!"
Akiyama Mio: "Are you thinking of something interesting?"
Kotobuki Tsumugi: "Would you like more black tea?"
Tainaka Ritsu: "Yes!"
Chihaya Anon snapped back to reality and quickly shook her head.
If she ate any more, she would get fat!
… … …
Starry.
It hadn't started business yet.
Ijichi Nijika was feeding candy to Yamato Love Nika, who was about the same height as her.
The scene looked both warm and peculiar.
Yamada Ryo also opened her small mouth.
However,
Nijika seemed not to notice.
Yamada Ryo was about to play the pity card when she saw Hotaru and two others walk in.
"They're here."
"Who's here? Aki-kun and them?"
Nijika looked towards the door with joy.
However, Yamada Ryo took advantage of Nijika's inattention and swallowed the candy in her hand.
"Ah!"
"Ryo, what are you doing!"
Nijika was startled by Ryo's action.
"Really, if you wanted to eat it, I would have given it to you!"
Then, Nijika said in a scolding tone,
"What if you choked like that!"
Hotaru saw it all and heard it after walking over.
Scummy Ryo, it's really you.
Nijika is too gentle!
I'm crying!
Yamada Ryo covered her face with both hands, "Shy."
Sighing helplessly at Yamada Ryo, Nijika looked at the two figures, one pink and one red, hiding behind Hotaru.
She quickly broke into a happy smile.
"Aki-kun, that's great, you brought Kita!"
"Kita, that's great! So you're alright!"
Nijika patted her chest, a huge weight lifted from her heart.
"Ni, Nijika-senpai…"
Kita Ikuyo's expression was awkward, and her speech was a bit faltering.
Seeing Kita trembling and hiding behind him, Hotaru decided to help her out and pushed her in front of Nijika.
Yamada Ryo's indifferent face also happened to look over,
"So she's still alive."
Upon seeing Ryo, Kita's body trembled, her eyes immediately welled up with tears, and then she knelt before Nijika.
"Nijika-senpai!"
"I'll do anything, please forgive my rudeness that day."
"Please, feel free to abuse me!"
"Don't say things that could be misunderstood!"
Nijika also shouted anxiously.
"Oh? Please hand over all the money on you."
Yamada Ryo extended her hand towards Kita and spoke calmly.
Hotaru took out his phone. Should he take a photo or a video?
Yamato Love Nika: "Interesting woman."
Gotou Hitori: "So scary, scary, scary…"
The result, of course, was that Nijika stopped Ryo and Hotaru, helped Kita up, and kindly forgave Kita.
Kita, however, felt even more guilty, "Please, you must let me do something!"
However, Nijika was the least likely person present to let Kita do anything.
Until Ijichi Seika, who had been eavesdropping, stepped forward,
"Then work here for free today!"
Ijichi Seika said with a grand wave of her hand.
She never refused free labor that came knocking.
There was quite a lot of work today.
Nijika looked at Kita, and Kita immediately said there was no problem, even thinking it was too simple!
If possible, she'd prefer Ryo-senpai to punish her properly again.
Afterward, Hotaru also helped clarify that Kita actually couldn't play the guitar, but Hitori could teach Kita later.
Then, upon hearing that Kita didn't have a guitar at the moment,
Yamada Ryo decided to sell a blue guitar to Kita, and Kita was very excited about it!
This was played by Ryo-senpai, and it was blue!
The scene shifted.
Hotaru changed into a black butler uniform. He touched the fabric of the outfit; it was smooth, without a single wrinkle, and he hadn't expected it to fit so well.
Kita, on the other hand, wore a white maid uniform. The style was slightly traditional and conservative, yet it made her look even more pure and cute.
After a slight surprise, everyone looked not at the two in their new outfits.
Instead, they all looked at Ijichi Seika, who had produced these two outfits, with subtle expressions.
"Manager, how do you have something like this?"
"Sister, how do you have something like this?"
"Manager, it seems… you're quite playful."
"Interesting."
Ijichi Seika's face instantly flushed red, and she loudly exclaimed,
"You brats, don't talk nonsense! I accidentally won these in a lottery while shopping at the supermarket!"
Everyone looked suspicious, clearly not quite believing her.
Miss Pa appeared at the opportune moment, looked at Ijichi Seika, and said meaningfully,
"You've misunderstood, actually, the Manager has never been in love."
"Oh—"
Everyone deliberately drew out their voices, looking at Ijichi Seika meaningfully.
Ijichi Seika's old face turned red,
"You! Get to work, all of you!!!"
Hotaru and the others quickly dispersed, returning to their workstations.
Ijichi Seika finally let out a breath, then glared fiercely at Miss Pa.
She actually revealed her secret that she had kept for so many years.
But thinking about it, she was 29 this year!
What if Nijika was also single at her age…
As Ijichi Seika thought this, she couldn't help but start to worry.
Hoshika looked at Nijika, who was diligently assigning tasks, and then at Hotaru, who was wearing a butler uniform.
He was quite good-looking.
Perhaps it wasn't impossible?
As if by a ghost's prompting, Ijichi Seika actually had such a thought.
But she quickly suppressed it.
No! At least he needed more testing!
How long had they even known each other!
… … … …
Hotaru and Kita were quite nimble.
Although it was their first time working in the store.
Their efficiency was surprisingly high.
Cleaning, arranging tables and chairs neatly, moving goods, preparing drinks…
With their help, Ryo even had a chance to doze off.
Gotou Hitori saw it and felt defeated.
The two newcomers not only did better than her but also did many tasks she had never been assigned.
Hitori unconsciously hid in the trash can that Nijika had specially prepared for her.
"Next, please listen to…"
"The Elegy of a Useless Part-Timer Who's Even More Useless Than the Newcomers Who Joined Today."
After saying that, Gotou Hitori hugged her guitar and began to improvise.
A slightly melancholic melody emanated from the guitar in her arms.
However, this level of improvisation was clearly not something an ordinary person could achieve.
Nijika was also busy with her work and didn't notice.
Ijichi Seika looked at Hitori in surprise, stroking her chin thoughtfully.
Yamato Love Nika poked Hitori, "Come out, let's PK."
