Chapter 648

"After all, this was the plan I proposed from the beginning. As the leader, I certainly can't shirk responsibility," Amaza said.

Actually, my feelings were quite complicated.

Because she was clearly the Class representative of Class A, First Year, and also the director of this performance.

Yukino had been assisting her all along, offering suggestions, cooperating, and then making arrangements.

Just like her left and right hands.

But.

That's weird!

Since Hachiman Hikigaya came today, why did Yukino suddenly become so assertive, even directly engaging in work-related conversations with Hachiman Hikigaya? Or is this how they usually are in the Student Council?

And.

Ichika realized that she couldn't seem to fit into the atmosphere just now.

That's really strange.

Some even wondered if Sakayanagi-senpai was truly their biggest threat. It seemed that Sakayanagi-senpai was raising a tiger that would eventually harm them.

Because there are geniuses in the team.

So even if time is tight and you have to start from scratch, there are still ways to cope.

This is something that ordinary students don't get to experience.

However, while these hardware issues can be resolved quickly, there are still other aspects that need to be addressed.

That is the selection of music.

The teachers were free to choose the songs for their performance.

However, considering Chabashira-sensei's usual behavior towards people...

Hachiman recommended Kareto.

But.

"The final act is a group performance," Yukino said. "I recommend Bitter Bitter Sweet."

"This is a popular song right now, which fits our student atmosphere. Plus, the bass, drums, piano, and duo vocals make the arrangement of performers and the song's popularity acceptable."

No one has any objection to this.

But.

However, a disagreement arose regarding the selection of the three performers.

At first, Yukino Hachiman Amaza to just do something casual, so they chose a song called "[Haru Mochi]" for their performance.

Hachiman Hikigaya can just slack off the whole time.

But.

Now that Ichinose's singing talent has been discovered, she has joined the Ichinose, so Amaza has given up his position as the lead vocalist.

Then you need to select a new track.

Choose the song from the Ichinose.

Yukino, who is also a lead vocalist, said she's open to any song. She can cooperate with anything.

Because she has a talent for singing.

How proud I am!

However, Hachiman Hikigaya knew very well that Yukino was not just boasting.

She is consistent in her words and deeds.

It is a flower of the high mountains.

Although Hachiman initially felt that she gave him a Horikita vibe, he could sense that while Horikita's little sister was constantly growing, Yukino had already reached a point of near perfection.

Perhaps due to her family background, Ichinose years because of her embarrassing past.

So I didn't come into contact with anything new.

She knows and likes to sing older songs.

It was popular about ten to fifteen years ago.

This made her feel embarrassed.

But.

That's not a problem.

Because the majority of the audience for this performance and concert were Shopping Street and teachers, whose ages were mostly in the 30s or even the 40s.

So.

Older tunes are what they longed for in their past era.

Then the options appeared.

1. White Album sung by Yuki Morikawa

2. The song "Sound of Desting" sung by Rina Ogata, an idol from the same era Yuki Morikawa.

3. And the heartbreak single "Unreachable Love" composed by the genius pianist Kaza Toma.

You need to choose two songs from the three.

It doesn't look difficult.

But when it comes to actually making a choice, it feels very difficult.

After all, all three pieces are very nice.

And.

The four people who need to perform have completely different preferences.

Yukino thought White Album was more popular, while Ichinose thought Sound of Destingy was also interesting, and Ichika thought that singing about Unreachable Love might get more comments.

Then everyone's attention turned to the person who had not yet made a choice.

"..." Hachiman.

You have to choose two out of three songs.

How is he supposed to choose?

After making a choice, you will likely be regarded as...

"Let's all practice for now." Faced with this predicament, Hachiman Hikigaya finally said. "Just improvise when the time comes."

"If everyone can accept it, then playing all of them is not a bad idea," Hachiman said.

"Then Hachiman Hikigaya is truly a greedy person," Ichika said at this moment.

This statement is very true.

If you can't make a choice, then take it all.

But Ichika seemed to be implying something.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have insisted just now." Archangel Ichinose thought that Hachiman must not want to hurt anyone.

Because the three of them each represent one side, there are 3 people present, 2 of whom support the other side, so what will the last person think?

So he must not want anyone to get hurt.

Even if it becomes a bit harder.

"..." Yukino.

Yukino didn't notice anything amiss. She just felt that Hachiman Hikigaya wasn't decisive enough, which increased everyone's workload.

However, those present are key figures in the performance, and if anyone's mood is affected, it could negatively impact the performance.

Only.

"If we choose all of them," Yukino said. "Then Hachiman Hikigaya, you..."

"I'll train harder," Hachiman said. All three pieces featured piano accompaniment. They were incredibly demanding.

I should have never learned piano; it's all Classmate Sakayanagi's fault.

He saw her sparkling and became interested in the piano.

However, due to the increased workload, he can't put all the work on Yukino Yukinoshita and Ichika Amasawa, so he might have to talk to Classmate Sakayanagi.

"Then thank you for your hard work." Yukino nodded.

She was quite satisfied with Hachiman Hikigaya's assurances, because the other party wouldn't make such assurances if they couldn't do it.

Finally, the music selection was finalized.

But.

Very soon.

A problem has arisen.

That is it.

"That..."

"Actually, I don't have much singing experience, and I always feel nervous," Ichinose said.

Ichinose is very poised and seems quite kind and outgoing, so why does she feel nervous on stage?

"For example, they might not sing their lines well."

"The correct way to say it is that you sang the wrong lines," said Yukino Yukinoshita, who is also a lead vocalist. "I'm a little worried about Ichinose- senpai's condition."

"So, Yukino, you can just naturally step onto the stage?" Hachiman asked.

"It must be related to my past experiences," Yukino said. "Before I came to this school, I was often envied by some girls. And because I was cute and pretty, I also attracted attention from boys."

"So in such a harsh environment, I received a lot of attention. Many of those mentally challenged people were looking forward to my mistakes or to me showing my weakness."

"And I certainly cannot follow their wishes."

"Therefore, my heart is incredibly strong. This stage will not waver."

Oh?

At this moment, Hachiman noticed that Yukino Yukinoshita spoke, she started to raise her quills like a hedgehog.

But.

This Yukino Yukinoshita, seems to have something in common with him.

That is... she seems to have a lot of dark history.

And.

This guy seems to be exceptional, and it's not just a matter of talent.

Instead, she wanted to ensure that those who were negative towards her could never catch up with her.

Although her approach was somewhat harsh, it's undeniable that her strategy was correct. Anyone who tries to bully her will only be met with a backlash from her, where she single-handedly bullies a whole group.

How terrifying, Yukino.

"And if Ichinose- senpai feels nervous..."

"Then let's try to treat the audience like cabbages," Yukino said.

"White, like cabbage..." Ichinose felt that this statement was a bit excessive.

"So, Yukino, do you also view the other viewers in the same way?" Ichika asked at this moment.

After spending the Ichika White Room, I'm finally truly free. And I'm also trying to learn about the outside world.

Gain experience.

However, I feel there's something wrong with the experience I gained from Yukino.

"I read that in a book," Yukino said. "But I haven't tried it myself because I never panic in any Matoba."
