Omnibus Anime: A Person in a Music Anime, Relaxed and Happy

Hoshino Ijichi inserted herself between the two.

Her fists clenched.

She hadn't expected them to be on a first-name basis already!

"But, he's a guy!"

"So what if he's a guy?"

Nijika looked confused.

"Um... how can a Girl Band have a guy in it!"

Nijika looked at Hoshino strangely.

"I never said I wanted to form a Girl Band."

"Besides, didn't Kikuri-senpai's old band have a guy in it too?"

"But..."

"No buts."

Hoshino Ijichi was speechless, unable to refute.

Besides, she wasn't good at arguing anyway.

Damn that drunkard!

Just then, Hoshino Ijichi noticed Yamada Ryo suddenly appear.

She pointed at Yamada Ryo like she'd found a lifeline and said, "Right, Ryo, where's Yamada Ryo?"

Hoshino Ijichi thought about Yamada Ryo's eccentric personality.

And her experience with a disbanded band.

She definitely wouldn't easily form a band with a guy, right?

"Ryo agrees too."

Nijika looked towards Ryo.

Then she narrowed her eyes.

"Ryo, what are you doing?!"

All eyes turned to Yamada Ryo.

Yamada Ryo was seen sneakily reaching out a sinful hand towards the cola in Goto Hitori's hand.

Yamada Ryo regretfully raised her hand.

"I just wanted to get it for Bocchi."

"Then get Bocchi's guitar for her."

Yamada Ryo's expression was startled.

Goto Hitori dared not.

Bai Qiu took the guitar for her and hung it on Yamada Ryo.

"It's up to you now, Ryo."

Ijichi Hoshino was ignored by everyone.

But she could tell that Bai Qiu seemed to be getting along well with them.

"We're going in, sister."

"Alright sister, no more fooling around."

Nijika admonished with some helplessness.

"Or I'll get angry!"

Ijichi Hoshino's mouth twitched.

Nijika returned to her angelic smile, looking apologetically at Bai Qiu and Goto Hitori.

"Let's go in."

"And Ryo."

Bai Qiu looked at Ijichi Hoshino and blinked.

"Manager, please take care of us from now on."

Chapter 33: Kessoku Band's First Meeting

With a dull sound.

Confetti slowly drifted down from the sky.

It was Nijika who fired the pre-prepared celebratory cannon.

"Wow!!"

Bai Qiu, Hitori, and Ryo exclaimed, then started clapping.

"You have to help clean up later."

Nijika pointed at the floor.

The three shook their heads desperately and retreated backward.

"Do you guys have to be so in sync!"

Nijika said exasperatedly.

Bai Qiu raised his hand, "I'll help clean up."

Nijika smiled, "Aki-kun is reliable after all."

"Alright, next up is our band's first official meeting!"

The four sat around a table.

Snacks and drinks were laid out on the table.

Yamada Ryo was already digging in.

"Too close!"

Ijichi Hoshino leaned against the doorway, biting hard on the straw of the drink cabinet.

PA Miss looked inside and saw that Bai Qiu was sitting next to Nijika.

"Ara, if you're that curious, why don't you join us!"

She covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Huh? I'm not interested!"

"Hehehe...!"

"Ahem! First topic, we need to elect a captain."

Nijika gestured with her fingers, then looked at the other three.

But Bai Qiu, Hitori, and Ryo, all three stared at Nijika in unison.

"Eh...?"

"What does this mean?"

"You want me to be the captain?"

Nijika pointed to herself, confused.

Bai Qiu and the other two nodded in unison.

Yamada Ryo said, "It's up to you, Nijika."

Bai Qiu: "I think so too."

Goto Hitori followed up, "Me, me too!"

"Huh? Aren't we going to discuss it further?"

Bai Qiu and the other two shook their heads again.

Nijika was stunned.

Nijika looked at Ryo, unreliable!

Hitori, emmmm... she doesn't seem suitable either.

Finally, she looked at Bai Qiu.

"Aki-kun, don't you want to be the captain?"

Bai Qiu said with a smile, "I'm not really cut out for it,"

"In my heart, Nijika, you are the most suitable."

The responsibility of a band captain is immense.

Not only must they organize and manage the band well.

They also need to pay attention to the condition of each band member.

And Nijika, so gentle, kind, meticulous, thoughtful, cute...

She is definitely the best choice for this position.

The others, more or less, have some unreliable aspects.

Although Bai Qiu felt that he himself shouldn't be unreliable at the moment.

But the captain, it really should be Nijika.

"I believe in you, Nijika."

Bai Qiu encouraged.

"We believe in you too."

Yamada Ryo and Goto Hitori repeated.

"Is that so..."

Nijika's face rarely flushed red.

"Then... then leave it to me!"

Nijika patted her chest.

"Even though it's my first time being captain."

"I'll do my best."

"If there's anything I do poorly, tell me anytime!"

Bai Qiu, Yamada Ryo, and Goto Hitori applauded.

A somewhat out-of-place sound seemed to ring out.

Ijichi Hoshino released her straw, which was now full of teeth marks.

"You sure know how to make girls happy!"

However, regarding Nijika becoming captain, Ijichi Hoshino was quite satisfied. She had been captain back in the day too.

PA Miss: "Hahahaha..."

"Next is the second topic..."
