Yesterday, Starry's part-time job went very smoothly.
Ijichi Seika was quite satisfied.
So much so that Hoshika felt that if she had both Hotaru and Kita Ikuyo, she might not need Yamada Ryo and Bocchi-chan.
Ryo is in danger!
As for the joint practice, it hadn't started yet.
After all, Yamada Ryo hadn't had time to give the guitar to Kita Ikuyo.
Also, everyone discovered that Yamato Love Nika's skill was surprisingly amazing.
After Gotou Hitori improvised a 'Worker's Elegy', Rana perfectly replicated it on the spot.
Then, Rana pulled Gotou Hitori, wanting to solo with her.
But how could a mere Bocchi have the courage to duel a stray cat?!
Hitori hid desperately in the trash can, refusing to come out no matter what.
The little cat couldn't do anything about her.
So she went to Hotaru, wanting him to pull Hitori out.
Bocchi-chan occasionally bullying herself was fine, but how could Hotaru help her bully Bocchi-chan?
However, after hearing Yamato Love Nika's playing, Hotaru also praised her skills endlessly.
Are even such young children so amazing now?
It seems he still needs to accelerate his improvement in strength.
Even Nijika felt that perhaps End Band could add another guitarist?
Then... Gotou Hitori felt an unprecedented sense of crisis!
She actually came out on her own.
But with more people, Hitori couldn't perform at her best.
As a result, Bocchi-chan was completely defeated.
...
The next day.
Hotaru had just arrived in the classroom and sat down.
Chihaya Anon turned her body several times, looking at Hotaru, then glancing at his guitar bag.
She looked like she had something to say but was hesitant.
When Hotaru noticed, he was also confused, so he said,
"Anon, if you have something to say, just say it."
"Hehe..."
With her little thoughts exposed, Chihaya Anon laughed awkwardly, then said directly,
"Aki-kun, I heard you're in a band?"
Chihaya Anon went to the Wind Instrument Club after leaving the Light Music Club yesterday.
Then, after hearing that the Wind Instrument Club's goal this year was the gold medal at the national competition, she felt a bit intimidated.
In that case, the training pressure must be very high!
Anon thought that she only planned to play casually, just to have material to post on SNS.
She didn't want to pressure herself.
However, on second thought, what if they really won the gold medal at the national competition?!
That's a competition with very high prestige!
Maybe there would even be a chance to appear on TV.
However, Anon also realized that there were too many members in the Wind Instrument Club.
With dozens of people performing together, even if she performed well and brilliantly, it would be hard to get noticed, right?
Actually, she didn't know how to play any wind instruments either.
Sure enough, she decided against it.
So, the Wind Instrument Club was also passed over by Chihaya Anon.
However, she heard from Hirazawa Yui that Hotaru had formed a band outside of school.
Thus, Chihaya Anon set her sights on Hotaru.
"Yes, in Shimokitazawa."
Hotaru nodded in response.
"Then... are there any positions missing in your band?"
Chihaya Anon asked with some anticipation.
"Originally, we were missing a vocalist."
Hotaru said truthfully.
However, after Kita Ikuyo successfully joined yesterday.
They already had a vocalist.
So now, End Band was fully staffed.
By the way, Kita Ikuyo's joining brought Hotaru a reward of 5000 notes.
"Eh?"
Chihaya Anon's eyes immediately lit up.
She wasn't in the same school as Hotaru and Hirazawa Yui before.
"Speaking of which, I used to play guitar and even performed as a vocalist on stage!"
Anon hooked a pink lock of hair with her clean, slender index finger and blinked.
She looked like she was hinting at something.
Clearly, she overlooked the word "originally" that Hotaru had said.
Hotaru understood her intentions from her appearance.
He secretly thought, 'What a pity, little Anon, you were one step too late.'
So, Hotaru replied with some regret,
"However, Kita-san from Class 1 joined us yesterday."
"Ah..."
Chihaya Anon was a little dejected, 'Why did it have to be yesterday?!'
After a light sigh, she pondered in her heart.
"Maybe I should just form my own band?"
Although that would be quite troublesome.
However, that also means she would definitely be the center of the band, right?
Form her own?
After Hotaru heard Chihaya Anon's murmur.
A light bulb also went off in his mind.
Perhaps, Hotaru felt he could support her idea.
Because this way, not only would everyone around him be 'tool-people' who could provide him with notes.
Also...
Hotaru subconsciously looked to Takamatsu Tomori on his right.
Through this period of observation, and their conversation at RiNG last time.
Hotaru found that Takamatsu Tomori actually still really wanted to join a band.
But she seemed to be afraid of something.
Clearly, she hadn't yet emerged from the shadow of her previous band's disbandment.
Although clarifying the phrase "the vocalist was too dedicated" did alleviate some of her psychological pressure.
Takamatsu Tomori's unconditional trust, however, made Hotaru feel a little bad.
Unfortunately, neither the Light Music Club nor End Band had a suitable position for Takamatsu Tomori!
But if she formed a new band, wouldn't that solve the problem?
This way, you can play if you want to play, and sing if you want to sing!
Hotaru lightly pressed his chin, and an idea gradually formed in his mind.
"Aki-kun, is this what you want?"
Then, under Chihaya Anon's surprised gaze,
Takamatsu Tomori blinked innocently, offering a smooth little stone to Hotaru.
Hotaru gladly accepted it,
"Thank you, Tomori, I'll keep it safe."
"Mm!"
Takamatsu Tomori showed a faint smile and continued to carefully wipe clean the other small stones.
Chihaya Anon was stunned in confusion,
Although I don't quite understand your hobbies.
But this address,
Aki-kun?
Tomori?
Your relationship is already that good?
Anon already knew that Hirazawa Yui and Takamatsu Tomori were the two most popular students in the class.
Hotaru was actually so familiar with both of them.
It must be because of this seat, 'the one nearest the water gets the moon first,' right?!
Isn't this what she had always dreamed of?!
But very quickly, Hotaru's words made Chihaya Anon immediately ignore this matter.
Hotaru suddenly spoke,
"I think forming a band is great, both for making friends and cultivating hobbies."
Hotaru did not talk about professional development, because most student bands just follow the trend and play for fun; very few truly decide to pursue it professionally, and it's extremely difficult.
Chihaya Anon shouldn't have such thoughts.
"If it's Anon, I believe you'll find members very quickly!"
Hotaru encouraged her.
"Eh? Really?" Chihaya Anon smiled shyly, "Well, it's not necessarily true!"
Although she said that, her confidence greatly increased in her heart.
Hotaru looked at Chihaya Anon, then gestured with his eyes towards Takamatsu Tomori beside him.
Chihaya Anon, who was good at reading expressions, immediately understood.
With her idea affirmed, her mind became more active.
Thus, their ideas coincided.
