Chapter 551
X N.
"..."
Hearing the sudden burst of enthusiasm from the audience, Toyama Kasumi and Takamatsu Akari turned around in surprise and saw the same scene.
"..."
Toyama Kasumi glanced at him questioningly, only to be met with a forceful shake of her head in denial from Takamatsu Akari.
Asahi-chan, he really is... She smiled helplessly, then pulled Takamatsu Akari back to continue playing.
"Hello Twinkle (Deep in My Heart)"
"キミがいるから(There is your presence)"
"..."
After being the center of attention for a while, Ogura Asahi raised his arms, tiptoed around twice, and bowed gracefully forward, once again receiving a large cheer.
It seemed that the Asahi Club's Hanasakigawa Branch would be established after today, and he suddenly felt a little moved.
Because of his long-term absences from class, many students still don't know him, which is why the establishment of the club has been delayed time and time again.
Is it finally going to happen?
I wonder if, now that Ogura Asahi, Ashiri has also established a club like that for himself in Filia...
Although, in its later stages, the club degenerated into a women's organization that only involved eating, drinking, having fun, traveling, and banquets, and had little to do with Ogura Asahi herself...
After temporarily pausing his violin playing, he walked up to Toyama Kasumi, facing them, staring at Toyama Kasumi's unusually authoritative little face, and sang a duet with her through the microphone next to her ear:
"(You)えてあげたいの(I want to tell you)"
"(Can) Your musical dream"
"(Do)もうすぐ(will come true soon)"
"..."
"..."
Ogura Asahi unconsciously looked away and walked away dejectedly to the side to continue playing the violin.
He had hoped to make her feel embarrassed by his staring, but it seems he was overthinking it... How could Emperor Gaozu be shy? Instead, he sang even more enthusiastically, and in the end, he was the one who couldn't hold back.
As a capitalist vampire, he found it hard to bear Kirakira's eyes and expressions, which were like a second sun.
He even suspected that if he went up and kissed her now, she'd probably happily kiss him back... Hmm? Kiss?
He hesitated, but it didn't bother him for long—mainly because time didn't allow it.
After a brief moment of thought, taking advantage of the atmosphere, he walked slowly to Toyama Kasumi's side. In a moment when she was focused on watching the audience and not paying attention, he gently touched her fair face, which was slightly flushed, with his lips.
"Waaaaaah!!!!!"
X N.
The students below went even crazier, screaming, shoving, and shaking their friends.
"Varied?!!"
It seemed that Ichigaya Arisa and Shiina Rikki's surprised voices could be heard coming from the speakers.
"How daring!"
In the preparation room next door, Shirasagi Chisato and the other women also covered their mouths in surprise.
Feeling the softness on her cheek, Toyama Kasumi turned her head in confusion. After seeing his mischievous expression, she, as he expected, didn't take it to heart at all. Instead, she happily hugged him tightly and then kept making peace signs to the people around her!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh~!!"
X N.
Ogura Asahi couldn't help but think that the decision to have the school doctor make thorough preparations in advance was the right one.
Amidst continuous gasps of alarm that raised concerns about whether they might faint from heatstroke or lack of oxygen, the lyrics gradually came to an end.
"Sing, cheer, wake up the sun"
"..."
"らかにやかにおう (Sing loudly, energetically, sing)"
"..."
のステージへ(Towards the big stage tomorrow!)
Chapter 496 Dancing and the Kiss of Genius.
As the song ended, under Ichigaya Arisa's rather jealous gaze, the two bands began to separate.
However, only one side left the field; they remained on the field. Why?
"Hello everyone!"
With her unique style and energy that rivals even Toyama Kasumi's, the main organizer of this event... Miss Tsurumaki Kokoro, along with her three friends and one bear companion, has once again taken to the stage.
That's right, this time against Band Showdown, it's expected that MyGO (tentative name) will face off against all three of them.
Since they'd only sung one song before, that's understandable, right?
... No way, the other four people wished they could just kill him.
However, I believe that after this trial, their mindset and on-the-spot abilities will definitely grow by leaps and bounds, which is something to look forward to!
"HHW is back! We'll be with Asahi and the others next time!"
The Tsurumaki Kokoro facing downwards.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that her occasional glances seemed to be filled with fighting spirit... Oh well, his performance wasn't over yet anyway.
He handed the violin to the staff member who had been waiting nearby, and walked to the spot where Ichigaya Arisa had been standing, in front of the Keyboard.
HHW's lineup includes vocals, guitar, Bass, drums, and DJ. Although Tsurumaki Kokoro definitely knows how to play an instrument, she just doesn't play; she prefers to wander around and play... Wait, could she have seen my dance and had the same thought?
His Hands were reaching for the Keyboard, paused, as if he had discovered a blind spot.
With her stamina, it seems she could actually sing and dance at the same time.
Tsk~ Hysteria~
Before the performance began, he looked at the Little Jellyfish next to the Keyboard... oops, I mean the blue-haired drummer, Matsubara Kanon!
Looking at her delicate and adorable face, just like Maruyama Aya's, he was once again baffled by the world of rock and roll.
She, Futaba Tsukushi, Udagawa Ako, and Ichiji Nijika outside—each one petite, yet they are the most physically demanding blowjob drummers... Does this make sense?
Behind each petite and beautiful girl lies an invincible power capable of easily splitting someone's head open... It's terrifying to even think about.
"It's nice to meet you again, Kanon- san. Nice to meet you!"
He greeted her.
"Ah, yes!"
Matsubara Kanon's delicate body trembled slightly, and she quickly replied, "Asahi-chan, nice to meet you too..."
Her soft voice, her wavering tone, and her shy expression that made her too embarrassed to meet his gaze made one wonder if she was really a freshman.
Am I really that scary? Ogura Asahi wondered.
However... her sweet and delicate demeanor is truly irresistible! Just like Maruyama Aya!
His eyes narrowed unconsciously, and he licked his slightly dry lips, as if he had spotted new prey.
"Kanon, you're so cute, just like Miss Aya!"
"Eh? Thank you, thank you."
Matsubara Kanon's face was tense. She couldn't relax before getting to know this outgoing junior who wasn't shy or afraid of her seniors from the start.
In particular, the other person seems to be quite different from Kasumi- chan and the others' lively type...
No, but since she said she's just like Aya-chan, she must be complimenting herself, right? After all, Aya-chan is so cute.
"Mmm! You're so cute! I wish I could treat you the same way I treat Miss Aya!"
Ogura Asahi nodded repeatedly while wearing a smiling mask.
"I see, thank you, for treating me like Aya-chan..."
Her face stiffened as she recalled what had happened in the preparation room, and she instantly panicked. "Ugh! Ugh!"
She was greeted by the other person's seemingly meaningful, dangerous smile, which made her legs tremble involuntarily...
With the start of class drawing ever closer, before long, Tsurumaki Kokoro raised her hand to announce the start:
"Then~ the track for our collaboration this time is..."せかいのっびのびトレジャー! (Treasures of the Vibrant World)"!"
[Note: This is the "Yo-Yo Song" that appears during the Sky Jumping Bear performance in episode 4 of season 2 of the anime.]
As her voice faded, a burst of energetic DJ music and drumbeats erupted, followed by a melody that instantly raised the atmosphere—
(Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo)
(Hey Yo Men)
(Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo)
(Hey Yo Men)
オーノー(Oh No)"
After everyone joined in the harmonies, Tsurumaki Kokoro and Takamatsu Akari began to sing the formal lyrics.
Perhaps because he hadn't sung this style of song much before, Takamatsu Akari looked flustered and could only try his best to imitate.
"いっぱいめつけちゃう(continuously being bullied)
やってもいない(Yo)(I obviously haven't done it)
てもいないのに(Yo)(has never been done at all)
"You know?"
"..."
It must be said that, apart from Tsurumaki Kokoro, very few people can sing this style of music with such a childlike innocence, cuteness, and coolness.
Little Tomori, I understand you!
Ogura Asahi suppressed a smile and silently kept to his post at the Keyboard, only adding a couple of lines when everyone was needed to sing along to the chorus.
The Keyboard sounds are gorgeous and smooth, powerful and seemingly much Legato, yet they are not suppressed at all in this rather noisy song, showing a tendency to rival the DJ's.
Ichigaya Arisa, stared blankly upwards, muttering speechlessly, "No way, that girl, is she even this strong? Is she a monster?"
"Is she even stronger than Arisa?"
Toyama Kasumi curiously pressed her face closer.
"I don't know based on that alone... but it's probably true."
Ichigaya Arisa Shy pushed her away, "Don't rub your cheek against the side that was just kissed!"
"Eh~"
"So comfortable~"
Hana-dono Tae hugged the rejected Toyama Kasumi and naturally rubbed against her.
"Otae~"
Toyama Kasumi happily took it home as well.
Ichigaya Arisa stared at the two of them, her eyelids and the corners of her mouth twitching incessantly.
One is a sissy who dragged her back to school from home, and the other is a naturally Akujo who stole her first kiss... This scene is truly maddening.
"This must be a true genius, right?"
Yamabuki Saya stared at the stage, her amazement unwavering; this feeling hadn't stopped since the very beginning.
Despite being a typical tsundere who blushes easily, Ichigaya Arisa's talent is undeniable. Among the five, she and Hana-dono Tae are among the best in terms of musical instrument skills.
As a child, in a music school attended by Hana-dono Tae Wakana Rei, she consistently ranked first in her class and received the most star stickers—which she then stuck on her way home, thus attracting a tigress...
Although she gave up Piano for a time to prepare for the high school entrance exam, she is undoubtedly a genius in learning and music. She has always been the top student in her grade since junior high school and can transcribe the sheet music on the spot after hearing Hana-dono Tae's "Returns" only once.
