Sawako

Knock, knock!

A knock sounded at the door.

"Excuse me, is this the Light Music Club?" A bespectacled girl knocked and asked.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Kazu—"

Before Luo Yu could finish, Yui Hirasawa interrupted with a shout.

"You know her?"

"Come to think of it, Luo Yu, you didn't know yet. Manabe is Yui's neighbor, and she and Yui grew up together," Ritsu Tainaka introduced.

"You all know each other?" Luo Yu looked utterly confused. What was going on? When had they met?

Mio Akiyama revealed the truth. "We had a girls' tea party at Yui's house some time ago. Manabe joined us too, and that's when we met."

Damn it! You held a girls' tea party without inviting me just because I'm a guy? How dare you assume my gender!

Oh no, why was he acting up again? Maybe there was just too much stuff in his DNA.

"Hello, I'm Luo Yu."

Although his mind was constantly going off the rails, it did not stop Luo Yu from greeting her normally on the surface.

"I know you. You're Luo Yu, the top student in the entire grade. I'm Yui's friend, Manabe Kazuto. Please take care of me," Kazuto introduced himself to Luo Yu.

I remember now! Isn't this Yui's mom, the Light Music Club's greatest backing, the legendary Kazuhito-sama with immense power?

"Kazu, what brings you to our Light Music Club?" Yui Hirasawa brought the conversation back on track.

Kazuto came to his senses as well and said, "While organizing documents in the Student Council, I noticed that your Light Music Club still hasn't become an official club, so I came to confirm it with you."

Yui Hirasawa: "Student Council?"

Seeing Yui Hirasawa's confusion, Kazuto explained, "I'm in the Student Council."

"Really? Kazu, you're amazing." Yui Hirasawa smiled blankly.

"Did you really grow up together?" Ritsu Tainaka complained to Yui Hirasawa. Then she asked Kazuto, "Doesn't our Light Music Club already have enough members? Why aren't we an official club yet?"

"Because you haven't submitted an extracurricular activity application," Kazuto answered.

Tsumugi Kotobuki: "An extracurricular activity application?"

"I've never heard of such a thing!" Ritsu Tainaka declared confidently.

"You obviously have!" Mio Akiyama instantly turned into a demon and pressed down on Ritsu Tainaka's shoulders.

"Ah!" Ritsu Tainaka suddenly realized. "I think I forgot..."

"So it was you after all!" Mio Akiyama grabbed Ritsu Tainaka's cheeks and twisted them.

Watching the farce before him, Kazuto sighed. "How should I put this... I feel like the Light Music Club suits Yui quite well."

Kazuhito-sama, your emotional intelligence is truly impressive.

"Fine, I'll help you sort it out." Kazuto sighed.

As expected of you, Kazuhito-sama, a man with power reaching the heavens and influence over the court.

"Alright, I've recorded it all. Who is your faculty advisor?" Kazuto asked.

Ritsu Tainaka: "Faculty advisor?"

Mio Akiyama: "Faculty advisor!"

Tsumugi Kotobuki: "Faculty advisor!?"

Crunch! That was Yui Hirasawa eating cookies.

And...

"This tea is really good."

Luo Yu, who still had not forgotten to drink tea.

After Kazuto left.

The girls continued discussing the matter of a faculty advisor.

But even after discussing it for a long time, they reached no conclusion.

Seeing Luo Yu still leisurely drinking tea, Ritsu Tainaka said angrily, "Luo Yu, don't just drink tea! Think of something too. What about Teacher Hiratsuka? Could she be our faculty advisor?"

Hearing this, Luo Yu set down his teacup and answered, "Teacher Hiratsuka is the Service Club's advisor, and based on what I know of her, she wouldn't come be our club's advisor either."

"Then who are we supposed to find? We don't know any of the other teachers!" Ritsu Tainaka said frantically.

"I do have someone in mind." Luo Yu took a sip of tea and spoke softly.

"Who?" ×4

"Our school's music teacher, Sawako Yamanaka."

"Would she agree?" Ritsu Tainaka asked with a doubtful expression.

"She'll definitely agree!" Luo Yu walked to the bookshelf, took down an album, and said with complete confidence.

After all, I have her weakness in my hands.

As someone who lived for amusement, how could Luo Yu possibly do nothing when he knew there was someone's embarrassing past hidden in the Light Music Club's activity room?

Looking at the album in his hands, Luo Yu's expression gradually turned mischievous.

"Let's go find Little Sawako. I'm sure Little Sawako won't refuse us." With that, Luo Yu opened the door and headed toward Sawako's office.

The girls exchanged glances. Each of them could see the confusion in the others' eyes.

"Where does he get that confidence from?" Ritsu Tainaka asked.

Mio Akiyama shook her head and answered, "I don't know either, but Luo Yu just called Teacher Sawako 'Little Sawako.' They must have a pretty good relationship."

Tsumugi Kotobuki said, "Standing around here won't solve anything. Luo Yu has already gone far ahead, so we should catch up first."

Seeing that Luo Yu had already gone far ahead, the girls quickly followed him.

Little Sawako

Outside Sawako's office.

The Light Music Club group stood at the door.

"Luo Yu, are we really asking Teacher Sawako to be our faculty advisor? Will she really agree?" Ritsu Tainaka was still a little worried.

"Just tell her what you want. Leave persuading her to me. Besides, we're already here, so there's no room to back out now, right?" As he spoke, Luo Yu pushed open the office door, leaving the girls no time to change their minds.

The girls could only steel themselves and follow Luo Yu to Sawako Yamanaka's desk.

"Everyone, what can I do for you?" Sawako Yamanaka looked curiously at the five members of the Light Music Club.

The girls exchanged glances, then all took a deep breath and said, "Teacher Sawako, please become the Light Music Club's faculty advisor."

"I'm sorry," Sawako Yamanaka refused. "Although I'd really like to be your faculty advisor, I'm currently the Wind Ensemble Club's advisor. Taking on another position would be..."

"How could this be?" The girls' expressions fell.

"Luo Yu, it's up to you now." The girls then pushed Luo Yu forward.

"So, Luo Yu, is there anything else you want to say?" Sawako Yamanaka asked Luo Yu with a smile.

Luo Yu said nothing. He merely waved the album before Sawako Yamanaka's eyes.

When Sawako Yamanaka saw the album in Luo Yu's hand clearly, the smile on her face vanished instantly.

The moment Luo Yu saw Sawako Yamanaka's expression, he knew the matter was practically settled. He said, "Teacher Sawako, I found this album in the Light Music Club's activity room. Do you know what it is?"

Sawako Yamanaka snatched the album away and stared fiercely at Luo Yu. "You looked through it, didn't you? You definitely looked through it, didn't you?!"

"Mm-hm~"

Luo Yu only answered her with a smile.

"Damn it! I never expected the last copy to be in the Light Music Club. Tell me, what do you want?" Sawako Yamanaka looked as though she had resigned herself to her fate.

"Teacher Sawako, you wouldn't want everyone to know about your embarrassing past, would you?" Luo Yu's expression became mischievous.

You male protagonist from the Far East, tone it down. Hm? What? We're already in the Far East? Then never mind.

"I understand. I'll do it. I'll be the Light Music Club's faculty advisor. Just don't tell anyone about my embarrassing past!" Sawako Yamanaka said despairingly.

"It's settled. Let's head back." Luo Yu said to the girls.

"Oh, right..." Luo Yu turned to Sawako Yamanaka. "Little Sawako, don't even think about backing out. I made backups."

At those words, Sawako Yamanaka's body stiffened.

As expected, she had not intended to behave. But it was fine. He had plenty of backups.

After returning to the activity room.

Ritsu Tainaka came over and asked, "Luo Yu, Luo Yu, what did you show Teacher Sawako? Why did she change her attitude right away?"

"You want to know?" Luo Yu asked, looking at the girls' curious eyes.

The girls all nodded.

"Fine." Luo Yu walked to the bookshelf and took down another identical album.

Then he handed it to the four girls. "See for yourselves."

"Didn't Teacher Sawako already take it away?" Ritsu Tainaka asked in surprise.

Hearing that, Luo Yu wore a knowing smile.

"How could I not make backups of something this interesting? Besides this one, I still have the originals on my phone. Sawako will never escape this embarrassing past for the rest of her life."

How terrifying! This person was terrifying.

"Oh, right. Didn't you promise Teacher Sawako that you wouldn't tell anyone about her embarrassing past?" Ritsu Tainaka suddenly remembered and asked curiously.

"What a joke!" Luo Yu argued loudly. "The one who promised her was ordinary high school student Luo Yu. What does that have to do with me, light novel author Meng Yu?"

Hearing that, the girls all stared at Luo Yu in stunned silence.

This guy really was awful!

The girls then opened the album. When they saw Sawako Yamanaka's wild appearance inside, they all cried out in amazement.

Time passed as the girls looked through the album.

Another day without practice.

"Yu."

As Luo Yu was lamenting this, he suddenly noticed Mashiro standing at the entrance of the Light Music Club room. He asked:

"Mashiro, why are you here?"

"Eiri brought me here. She left at the door."

The girls had noticed Mashiro's arrival long ago. Seeing Luo Yu and Mashiro talking, Yui Hirasawa asked curiously:

"Luo Luo, do you know her?"

"Mashiro and I have known each other since we were little." Luo Yu did not think there was anything he could not say about that.

"Mm. Yu is my owner."

Whoosh, whoosh!

Hearing that, the four girls all turned to look at Luo Yu, and the word "pervert" seemed to flicker in their eyes.

Naturally black-hearted Mashiro still did not forget to smear Luo Yu in front of others.

Facing the girls' gazes, Luo Yu sighed and explained, "When Mashiro says 'owner,' she means the person who takes care of her. I don't know why she uses that word."

After hearing Luo Yu's explanation, the girls were still somewhat doubtful and all looked at Mashiro. But Mashiro did not respond to them. Instead, she said to Luo Yu:

"Yu, I'm going home alone today."
