Chapter 202

The girls immediately remembered this most popular event recently.

As one of the most prestigious universities in the country, Shuchiin has many powerful figures in its faculty and staff. Performing under their watchful eyes makes the stage truly grand.

"But I'm afraid it won't work if I perform alone."

Nagasaki-san gritted her teeth and said.

"Um..."

Everyone pondered for a moment, then fell silent.

"Let's form a band on the spot!"

Suddenly Takanashi Rikka raised her arms and shouted, determined to help.

"Do you know music, Rikka?"

Nibuya Morika immediately asked.

The girl stood still, her eyes flickering, before uttering two words: "A little."

"Doesn't that mean you don't understand anything at all?"

The Silver-haired Witch read out the true information.

"We still have a week to prepare the tape, that's more than enough time!"

Takanashi Rikka remains confident.

"Us? You've brought the others along already?"

Natsukawa Masuzu hesitated for a moment.

"We're a team, right? Organization members should help each other."

Nibuya Morika chimed in.

At this age, the girls are still full of truth, goodness, and beauty. After learning about Nagasaki and Wakaba's story, they couldn't help but want to help.

Hasegawa Izumi believes this is a good situation.

Spiritual practice should not involve extinguishing emotions and desires. Only by possessing and affirming oneself can one embark on the path of transcendence. Otherwise, what is the point of turning oneself into stone?

"Thank you for your help!"

Nagasaki-san and Wakaba were overjoyed.

Although I don't understand their musical talent, it's not surprising that superpowered Ability User can achieve whatever they want.

"Do whatever you want, I have no interest in showing my face or performing on any music programs."

Natsukawa Masuzu crossed her arms, seemingly not very sick.

Nobody asked you.

Nibuya Morika Natsumi retorted.

"Where is the Sage? Would you like to come along?"

Takanashi Rikka clasps her hands together, her eyes sincere, revealing a touch of tenderness.

"Sure, I'll play along with you guys."

Hasegawa Izumi answered without hesitation.

Since I'm going to participate anyway, instead of doing the same drudgery as everyone else in class, I might as well have some fun with my friends.

"If Seeker of Truth also come, it's bound to cause a sensation."

Nibuya Morika's eyes lit up.

Everyone else was happy too.

"Death is coming to Dekumori too!"

Dekomori Sanae quickly raised her hand.

"Don't forget, you're in the junior high section, right?"

Nibuya Morika suddenly offered a reminder.

"Who cares? If I can't join, I'll just walk up to their door and die! Besides, I've already joined the club, they have no reason to refuse!"

Dekomori Sanae swung her 'meteor hammer' with an arrogant expression.

"Wait, if you all join..."

The only one left out, Natsukawa Masuzu changed his expression.

"Ahem, since the Club President has joined, there's no reason for me not to join as well. Count me in."

She coughed twice.

"Whispering sound."

"Who was looking uninterested just now? It really is that fickle Witch Death."

She immediately heard Nibuya booing and Dekomori Sanae laughing.

Natsukawa Masuzu pouted and turned her head away.

Saving face is something you can put aside; you can't miss the opportunity to get close to the Club President!

"Since everyone is willing, then one week from now... the Far East Magic Band will make its grand debut!"

Takanashi Rikka with one hand on her hip and the other pointing to the sky.

"Yeah!"

Dekomori Sanae then made a peace sign gesture.

"I think you guys are just bored and want to find something to do."

Hasegawa Izumi shook her head and smiled.

"We've been discovered!"

Takanashi Rikka acted out a panicked expression.

"Hehe..."

Nearby, Nagasaki-san and Wakaba watched everyone chatting, exchanged a glance, and both laughed.

Adding a band performance at the last minute is not allowed in a normal program, but it was made an exception, and the Student Council President approved it immediately when he saw the application.

"I look forward to seeing the performance of the King of Shuchiin Live!"

When Hasegawa Izumi heard him say that, her lips twitched slightly.

What kind of king was he again?

If things continue like this, perhaps after the Culture Festival, a new title of king will be bestowed upon us!

"Well then, Hasegawa-kun, you should practice hard with everyone in the Far East Magic Society. We'll take care of the class matters ourselves."

Upon learning this news, the squad leader exempted him from his original assignment.

We arrived at the club activity room.

None of the girls were worried about the public performance that was coming up soon.

Given their current state, they could easily become musical masters in a week, even if they started from scratch and could perfectly play a piece. After all, this tests 'memory' rather than creativity.

Although the girl hasn't yet achieved photographic memory after awakening, her memory has been significantly enhanced, especially for someone with already extraordinary abilities.

That's just how Ability User!

Therefore, they don't care whether they can play well or not, nor are they worried about not being able to perform in front of a large audience. What they are thinking about now is what kind of piece to play.

Ultimately, the decision was left to Hasegawa Izumi.

"I've already decided on the piece I'll play, and I'll write it down right away..."

As he spoke, he wrote the lyrics and music in his notebook with a pencil.

"God knows...?"

The girls looked at the name and unconsciously murmured it aloud, as if it possessed some kind of Magic Power.

"It looks like a great song, but I don't think I've ever heard of it before."

Nibuya Morika looked puzzled.

"Could this be something you created on the spot, Club President?"

Natsukawa Masuzu voiced what everyone was thinking.

Although they had never played music before, they listened to music regularly, but they had never heard this song before. Considering Hasegawa's abilities, they made a reasonable deduction.

"No, you've really guessed wrong this time."

Hasegawa Izumi shook her head in response.

"This wasn't written by me, but by a god from another world, the very same Suzumiya Haruhi I've mentioned before."

It's her!

The girls suddenly realized what was happening, but then, after a moment's thought, they felt something was off.

He even writes songs?

Are all gods in other worlds this irresponsible?!

"Speaking of which, could it be that the person most willing here is actually...?"

Natsukawa Masuzu scrutinized the Club President's expression, but still couldn't glean any clues.

Time flies, and the days pass swiftly.

The week of preparation time passed quickly.

After arranging their tasks, the members of the Far East Magic Society also made room for Nagasaki-san, so that Wakaba, who would later be possessed, could also feel involved.

Because of her solid foundation, Nagasaki-san quickly caught up with everyone else and is now waiting for her moment to shine.

On this day, compared to its usual secluded and isolated Shuchiin seemed more down-to-earth.

After all, Culture Festival activities are pretty much the same all over the country, and they are one of the few opportunities for them to experience ordinary people's lives.

The Culture Festival usually lasts three to five days. The first one or two days may be on-campus activities, followed by off-campus visits, which serves as a kind of rehearsal and is entirely a student-run carnival. However, the Culture Festival at Shuchiin only lasts three days, including the Honshin Festival and the After-party, and students can visit off-campus places from the first day.

As a renowned university, it's easy to imagine how many people would come here specifically to see what the legendary Shuchiin is like.

In addition, some students' parents also take time to come to the school to observe their children's situation.

A black sedan stopped not far from the entrance of Shuchiin.

A beautiful woman dressed in a deep red kimono, exuding elegance and grace, stepped out from within.

He was not tall, looked young, and resembled a student just starting school.

"It's changed so much! It feels like a holiday today."

Sawamura Sayuri approached step by step, looked up at the colorful sign at the school gate that read "Culture Festival," and smiled.

Compared to the youthful hairstyle that Hasegawa often sports, like Eriri's twin ponytails, she wore her hair down today, exuding a more mature aura.

She took time out of her busy schedule to come here, not only to support her daughter, but also because she had heard that Izumi-chan would be performing.

Otherwise, she would be like some other people, busy pursuing that kind of thing.

"In five minutes, we will be playing our specially filmed promotional video throughout the campus, featuring some of our brightest stars and guest appearances by our students. Please don't miss it! Trust me! You won't be disappointed!"

The sudden announcement drew everyone's attention.

"I remember Eriri and Izumi-chan were both participating, so I have to watch now."

Sawamura Sayuri stopped, a slight smile playing on her lips, and headed towards the best viewing spot in the stadium.

"Smack."

She found a corner and sat down with some girls.

"Hasegawa-kun from Shuchiin is amazing! He's done something no one else has ever done..."

"Hasegawa so handsome! Look, these are some photos I collected..."

At this moment, all Mrs. Sawamura heard were discussions about Hasegawa.
