Omnibus Anime: Person in Music Anime, Relaxing and Happy

Goto Hitori jumped in fright, her face wearing the expression of someone caught red-handed.

"You wouldn't happen to be planning on faking an illness to shirk your shift, would you? That would be such a shameful thing to do."

"N-n-no, of course not."

Goto Hitori wept in her heart.

How could he possibly know what I was thinking?

"That's good, I trust you."

Bai Qiu smiled.

Goto Hitori changed into her Sukumizu.

She submerged her entire body into the bathtub, which was filled with cold water and floating ice cubes.

Goto Hitori's teeth chattered uncontrollably from the freezing cold.

Moreover, Bai Qiu's voice kept echoing in her mind.

Shameful behavior, shameful behavior, shameful, shameful... shameful...

Therefore, as long as she was actually sick, it would be fine.

That way, it wouldn't be shameful.

She absolutely could not let down Aki-kun's trust!

"Hehehe... so cold..."

"Big sister is broken again."

A childish voice rang out.

Standing by the bathroom door was a little girl who looked just like Goto Hitori, but was a thousand, ten thousand times more cheerful than her.

She was Goto Hitori's younger sister, Nili.

Nili was already used to her sister's strange behavior.

Little Nili took out her diary and slowly began to record it.

I don't know how much time passed...

"Mom, it's bad!"

"Big sister passed out in the bathtub!"

Goto Nili shouted downstairs!

Goto Hitori woke up in her room.

She sneezed twice and had a runny nose.

She felt it wasn't enough.

So, she sat in front of an electric fan set to its highest speed for the rest of the night.

She had to get truly sick!

Shameful behavior...

Must not betray his trust!

"I never expected this body to be so healthy..."

Goto Hitori arrived at Starry with a Stooped Body, making eerie sounds with her mouth.

She was preparing to face her doom.

She had never hated this healthy body so much before.

She only woke up earlier than the chickens and went to bed later than the owls every day.

She persisted with over six hours of high-intensity practice.

Under the extreme torture of cold water, ice cubes, fans, and staying up all night.

All she had to show for it today were Dark Circles slightly heavier than usual.

She couldn't fake being sick at all!

As this was Goto Hitori's first day of working a part-time job.

Such a momentous day.

Bai Qiu, of course, had come as well.

This was also his first day of part-time work.

Last night, when he heard Nijika say that she wanted Bai Qiu and Hitori to stay and work at Starry, Ijichi Hoshino had readily agreed.

As it happened, Starry was entirely staffed by girls.

She was just short of a laborer to do the heavy lifting.

And here came Bai Qiu.

She could finally settle a personal score.

As it turned out, Nijika spoke up again.

Bai Qiu only wanted to work part-time occasionally.

Ijichi Hoshino naturally disagreed.

What did she think this place was!

A place where he could come and go as he pleased.

But she couldn't withstand Nijika's repeated requests.

Ijichi Hoshino eventually agreed.

There wasn't any heavy lifting to do.

Thus, Ijichi Hoshino assigned Bai Qiu a temporary task.

Handing out flyers at the entrance.

By the way, Yamada Ryo was responsible for cleaning, while Nijika and Hitori were in charge of making drinks.

Bai Qiu readily agreed.

He had never done any part-time work before.

After all, he had made his fortune by writing Light Novels.

But surely, handing out a few flyers couldn't stump him.

It was the perfect chance to let Ijichi Hoshino witness his ability to attract customers.

Standing in the shade.

Bai Qiu held a stack of flyers.

Printed on them were the bands performing tonight, as well as their setlists.

Facing the passing pedestrians.

Bai Qiu wore a handsome and polite smile, complemented by his dashing appearance and clean student uniform.

Almost no one refused.

Pedestrians took the flyers in a friendly manner.

Seeing the flyers in his hand dwindling, the smile on Bai Qiu's face gradually stiffened.

Because, while the flyers were being handed out.

Not a single ticket had been sold.

How embarrassing it would be to face Ijichi Hoshino later!

But to be honest, this wasn't Bai Qiu's fault.

Because there weren't many people who would decide on a whim to watch a live performance, and a full live show lasted two or three hours.

Leaving halfway through would make people feel like they were losing out.

Suddenly, Bai Qiu felt someone poke his back.

It couldn't be Ijichi Hoshino coming out to inspect, could it?

Probably not; if it were Ijichi Hoshino.

Her voice would have arrived before she did.

Bai Qiu turned around.

"This, I want it."

The girl wasn't very tall, so Bai Qiu lowered his head.

He met the eyes of the girl who was looking up at him.

Had the character that everyone loves to see finally appeared?

Bai Qiu couldn't help but mutter to himself.

And she even had heterochromatic eyes, blue on the left and yellow on the right.

As for whether they were natural or contact lenses, there was no way to know.

Seeing Bai Qiu remain unmoved.

Yoruna poked Bai Qiu again with her small finger, then held out her palm.

"Sorry, here you go."

Bai Qiu handed her a flyer.

It was only then that Bai Qiu noticed the White-haired Girl beside her.

There was also a suitcase about as big as she was.

It looked like it might be an instrument?

Given the size of the case, Bai Qiu guessed it probably held other equipment as well.

But could this girl really drag that thing around?

Bai Qiu was just about to open his mouth to ask, seeing if he could trick a customer into entering Starry.

However, to his astonishment.

Yoruna let out a "whoosh."

She folded the flyer into a Paper Airplane and sent it flying across to the opposite street.

Bai Qiu was dumbfounded, "What are you doing?"

Even if you don't like it, At the very least...

You shouldn't do that right in front of the person handing them out.

Aren't you embarrassed?

I'm the one handing out the flyers, and I'm incredibly embarrassed!

If Ijichi Hoshino saw this, she might even think Bai Qiu was slacking off.

His favorability rating might even drop.

Yoruna revealed a happy smile.

Bai Qiu blinked, are you serious?!

Looking back at the entrance to the Starry basement, Bai Qiu let out a sigh of relief.
