Chapter 278
Plans in place!
The music room door opened gently, Chihaya Aine Kokoro entered. After closing the door, she quietly observed the blue-haired girl playing the piano.
The song ended.
Snap snap...!
Wow, that's amazing!
She clapped enthusiastically and stepped forward.
"Hmm? Are you a member of the Wind Ensemble Club?"
Toyokawa Shoko stood up, preparing to leave.
"Ah, no! I just came to listen!"
Toyokawa Shoko lowered her head and closed the Keyboard cover. Regardless of whether the other person was right or wrong, she wasn't going to continue.
"Hey, wanna play in a band together?"
Chihaya Aine asked directly.
"Huh?"
She paused as she closed the lid.
"Oh, I'm sorry, how abrupt!"
Chihaya Aine carefully chose her words before introducing herself, "Um, I'm Chihaya from Class 1-A."
"Chihaya?"
"Ah, just call me Aine! I'm looking for band members; I'll be the lead vocalist, guitarist, Keyboard, and so on..."
"Need not."
Toyokawa Shoko simply turned her head away and refused.
"Oh, you're already in a band?"
"No."
She gently closed the lid, without answering her question, picked up her schoolbag, and walked towards the door.
After taking a few steps, she turned back and said softly, "It's almost time for the Wind Ensemble Club's activity, you'd better leave early too (polite closing remark)."
"Is it better?"
Chihaya Aine, puzzled.
"Well then, Ogura- senpai, I'll excuse myself now."
Toyokawa Shoko gave a slight bow towards the back of the classroom.
"Okay, bye-bye~"
Toyokawa Shoko left the classroom directly.
Following the direction Toyokawa Shoko had just looked, Chihaya Aine realized that there was another person in the classroom. She stared intently...
"Ah! Asahi!"
Thinking of how Toyokawa Shoko addressed him earlier, and what her classmate had said to her yesterday, she looked at his school uniform—brown!
"Ah, um, Senior Asahi?"
She scratched her head somewhat awkwardly.
"Hey, Aine-chan, it's been a few days! Have you officially started school?"
Ogura Asahi squinted and smiled as he looked at the new "toy".
"Ah, um! I just started school yesterday!"
Chihaya Aine became a little nervous after learning that the other person was actually a third-year Senpai.
However, seeing that he didn't put on any airs of seniority, she felt relieved.
"What are you doing here, Asahi- senpai? Are you a member of the Wind Ensemble Club?"
"I think I answered this question last time, but no."
"Ah, right..."
She remembered this, and then her eyes suddenly lit up.
The other person seemed to have said that they weren't in a band anymore, right...? Found them! A talented teammate who doesn't conflict with my own interests!
"Asahi -senpai! Um, I'm looking for band members, if possible!"
Chapter 319: The Astronomy Club and a Married Woman's Sentiment.
Please allow me to refuse.
Without even thinking, Ogura Asahi immediately refused.
He's incredibly busy right now, and he definitely doesn't want to get involved in this troublesome band situation.
"Hey~ I haven't finished speaking yet..."
Chihaya Aine lowered her arms dejectedly.
After being rejected twice in a row, she began to doubt her own charm.
"I'm sorry, but I've been quite busy lately and can't accept your offer. Please let me know if there's a chance later."
With a smile in his eyes, he took two desserts out of his bag and gave them to her.
"Here you go, this is my special candy."
"Ah, thank you!"
Chihaya Aine happily took it, cupping it to her face, "Ha~ Lucky~"
"Oh, I see. Then there's nothing we can do."
Although if the two of them could join, they would definitely attract a lot of attention from the start.
Ogura Asahi softened the corners of her mouth and looked out the window.
Although he had thought many times about whether or not to replace Kanau and join MyGO, he wasn't really keen on doing so at this time.
--If I join now, won't Shiina Rikki identity? How can I pretend to be a senior then?
Besides, he has no interest in going in now and wasting time arguing with them.
But if he doesn't join, does that mean Nagasaki Sōse will end up dragging Wakaba Mū or Toyokawa Shoko into it?
"..."
That won't do. Forget about Toyokawa Shoko; it's unlikely she'll be invited anyway.
Wakaba Mū... he finally managed to calm her down, and then they cause trouble and ruin it all, then it would all be for nothing.
Ugh, what a hassle! Girls in their turbulent season can be so troublesome!
Well, if we really need to gather enough people, it wouldn't hurt for him to show up occasionally—if necessary later.
"By the way, Aine-chan, let's exchange contact information."
He held up his phone to indicate that she probably wouldn't refuse.
"Contact information? Ah, okay!"
As expected, She Niu Yangjiao seemed completely unconcerned and immediately took out his phone.
After adding friends.
"Hehe~ Great! I got Senior Asahi's contact information!"
Chihaya Aine excitedly held up her phone and shouted, "This is the first social friend I've made at this school!"
"..."
Who ultimately benefited is the question.
Oh well, whatever, he made a killing today anyway.
Thinking about what he had accomplished that day, he couldn't help but smile.
If this continues, the number of friends in his originally empty contact list will soon rival that of Yang Jiao.
Oh hehehe~ Oh hahaha~ (Imagine the dragon's laughter)
"I have other things to do later, so I'll be going now. Aine-chan!"
"Okay! Goodbye, Senior Asahi!"
Chihaya Aine bowed slightly from afar.
After waving goodbye and leaving the music room, Ogura Asahi rushed off to the next location.
We have to go today; if we go tomorrow, Chihaya Aine might be there.
Images are attached here; please update to view them after the update.
Clubhouse Building, Astronomy Club.
"Sorry to bother you~"
"Huh?"
Takamatsu Akari, who was writing her activity log in the room, heard someone enter. Her heart skipped a beat, her petite body trembled slightly, and she quickly looked over.
She was a white-haired girl I'd never seen before; judging from her school uniform, she was probably a third-year student.
Wow, so beautiful, she looks just like Elf... A white-haired Elf? She blinked.
Because the other party didn't seem so aggressive, she felt a little relieved.
"Excuse me, may I ask...?"
She spoke Kokoro to the man who was curiously looking around, not even daring to look him in the eye.
"Oh, my apologies, I'm just here for a visit, please don't mind."
Ogura Asahi nodded kindly to her.
The room was small, only about the size of a small family study, but considering that this club has been passed down through generations of single-child families, it was enough...
On the table was a model of an armillary sphere, on the floor was an Astronomical Telescope, and on the wall hung several framed pictures of planets. Apart from that, there was nothing else that seemed to be related to the Astronomy Club.
There was a Roselia concert poster on the wall; it goes without saying that it was the work of that Sister complex.
"Visiting? Um, senior, are you here to join the club?"
Takamatsu Akari crossed his fingers, his gaze uneasy.
"No, that's not it. Look, I'm already in third grade. There's no point in me joining now, is there?"
"That's true..."
Takamatsu Akari felt a little disappointed, and she felt somewhat lonely sitting alone in the empty department room.
Although perhaps she came in precisely because there was no one else there...
"I was just curious about this place, so I came to take a look."
Ogura Asahi stood in front of the poster of the five Roselia members.
As expected of them, their stage outfits are always so stylish, unlike some talented bands whose outfits look like they were chewed up by a dog... Rinko deserves a lot of credit for this!
"Ah, that seems to be something the former Club President liked."
Seeing his interest in that, Takamatsu Akari offered an explanation.
"Wow, the former Club President."
Ogura Asahi chuckled softly.
Speaking of which, the Astronomy Club in Hanasakigawa is now the territory of Tsurumaki Kokoro. Previously, the Club President the Astronomy Club in Haneoka was Hikawa Hina. As geniuses with similar eccentric personalities and a love for stargazing, the two had a pretty good relationship.
Even in the past, when the Hikawa Hina Astronomy Club faced the crisis of being disbanded due to only one person left, it was Tsurumaki Kokoro who came to help her with inter-school activities to resolve the crisis.
