Light Music Club Part-Time Job Diary

It was by the same author, Hehuohuo.

It seemed that Miyako Shoka was Hehuohuo's devoted fan.

After glancing at the light novels, Miyako Shoka's calm face broke into a faint smile.

Little Qiu, I bought every one of your light novels.

And I bought three copies of every book.

Because you once said,

"One to read, one to collect, and one to share with others."

I remembered every word you said.

Miyako Shoka hurried over to the bed.

She couldn't take it anymore. She needed to recharge.

There was only one light novel on the bed.

Miyako Shoka gently opened the cover, afraid the book might suffer even the slightest damage.

Even though she'd already protected it with a beautiful book jacket.

This one was special!

The words "Hehuohuo" were signed on the title page.

Miyako Shoka gazed at it for a while.

Then she slowly leaned her cheek closer to the book.

She'd won this signed copy in a giveaway hosted on Teacher Hehuohuo's SNS account.

Just thinking of Little Qiu holding the book, carefully signing his name on it, then personally sending it to her by mail...

Miyako Shoka felt as if happiness had wrapped itself around her.

Before long, the book completely covered Shoka's face.

Only then did Shoka lift her head, her cheeks and ears faintly flushed.

"Mm... I almost fell asleep."

Shoka took out her phone and checked the time. It was already past ten.

Then she opened Line and tapped on a chat.

The messages were dated a year ago.

"Xiao Xiang, long time no see. I'm going to debut."

"You're debuting? Really?!"

"Yeah. The company said I couldn't tell anyone outside my family, but I just had to tell you."

"Congratulations! You're becoming the professional singer you've always dreamed of being. Someone as positive as you will definitely be fine."

"I'm not sure I can keep it up."

"I'm not worried at all."

"Thank you."

The few short messages took up only one page on the screen.

But she stared at them for a long time.

If only she had Little Qiu's Line, too.

Miyako Shoka let out a soft sigh.

She put down her phone and headed to the bathroom.

The Light Music Club's Part-Time Job Diary

"Should we do it?"

"Let's do it!!!!" ×4

At the amusement park, the manager smiled and nodded before turning her gaze to the only man present.

Nearby, four pretty, charming faces also turned toward Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu felt their stares growing heavier and heavier.

"...Let's do it."

Eight eyes narrowed, and four faces lit up with smiles.

"Woohoo!!"

Yui Hirasawa and Tainaka Ritsu jumped excitedly.

"...Yeah!"

Kotobuki Tsumugi was a little slower to react, but she quickly raised her hand and cheered along.

Akiyama Mio blushed. I can't do this!

"So, why am I even here...?"

Bai Qiu muttered weakly.

My beautiful weekend!

I'd planned to spend these two days at home working on my light novel.

Looks like that's not happening now.

So, Ryo, and all my readers, don't blame me!

It's not that I'm slacking off. The girls won't let me.

I'll update when I get the chance.

Bai Qiu had lent Yui Hirasawa 250,000 yen, so she now had enough money to buy Gita.

But the girls in the Light Music Club had still decided to take a part-time job together.

That way, they'd have more funds to buy all kinds of instrument parts.

After all, playing in a band was expensive.

And today's job had been especially tempting.

They'd get to enjoy every attraction in the amusement park for free after finishing their shifts in the morning and afternoon.

So last night, Tainaka Ritsu had posted in the Light Music Club group chat:

"You wouldn't want four cute girls stuck in a crowded amusement park all alone, would you? What if we ran into bad people? That'd be dangerous!"

"So, let's work together!"

Bai Qiu thought she had a point, so he'd come along. Maybe part of the reason was that he didn't want to stay cooped up at home writing his novel, either.

If Nijika found out he'd turned down a part-time job at Starry, only to come work with a few other girls instead...

He wondered what she'd think.

Nijika was so generous. She definitely wouldn't mind, right?

That was what Bai Qiu thought.

Since they liked working so much, maybe he could introduce them to Starry? But Starry probably couldn't use that many Light Music Club members.

"Little Qiu, come on!"

Yui Hirasawa reminded him.

"Yeah, Aki-kun, stop daydreaming."

"This is a rare chance to work with four beautiful girls!"

"I bet you'd never get an opportunity like this if I hadn't invited you."

Tainaka Ritsu grinned smugly, nothing like how she'd acted when trying to recruit Bai Qiu the night before.

What a quick change of face!

"Make sure you enjoy it... Ahahahahaha..."

Kotobuki Tsumugi nodded eagerly.

Akiyama Mio couldn't bear to watch. Ritsu was way too full of herself.

"Okay, I'll catch up..."

Bai Qiu snapped out of it. He was just about to argue with Ritsu when someone interrupted him.

Yui and Ritsu exchanged glances, their eyes sparkling.

"Cough, cough!!"

"Hey, wait! Don't do that..."

Yui Hirasawa and Tainaka Ritsu each hooked an arm around Bai Qiu and dragged him along.

They weren't strong enough to stop him from breaking free.

But it would've been awkward to pull away too forcefully!

Hey! That's pressing against me a little...

Kotobuki Tsumugi followed behind, eyes shining. She wanted to hook one of Bai Qiu's arms, too.

It looked like so much fun.

But Bai Qiu didn't have any arms left!

"What a shame... Mio."

Kotobuki Tsumugi pouted and looked regretfully at Akiyama Mio.

Akiyama Mio blinked. "A shame?"

But when she followed Tsumugi's envious gaze, she understood.

Akiyama Mio's face turned bright red. She felt she needed to explain to Tsumugi the differences between boys and girls.

Today's part-time job was simple.

All they had to do was stand under the nearly 30-degree sun in the amusement park plaza, wearing thick mascot costumes, hand out stacks of flyers, and occasionally strike cute poses for photos with visitors.

"Wow! So fluffy~"

"So soft~"

"So cute!"

Except for Ritsu, the other three girls were already captivated by the adorable costumes.

Mr. Pan, a penguin, a brown bear, a black cat, and a white rabbit.

Mio and Tsumugi hugged theirs with some restraint.

Dumb Yui was already rubbing her face against hers without a care in the world.

"Girls really can't resist this sort of thing, can they?"

Bai Qiu said without thinking.

"Wait, Aki-kun! I can't agree with that."

Captain Ritsu protested.

Wasn't he basically saying she wasn't a girl?

"Sorry, I forgot about you."

Bai Qiu smiled.

Captain Ritsu pretended to be angry, then shouted again.
