"Knock, knock!"
A knock sounded at the door.
"Excuse me, is this the Light Music Club?" a bespectacled girl asked as she knocked.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Wawa!"
Before Luo Yu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yui Hirasawa's shout.
"You know her?"
"Actually, Luo Yu, you don't know this. Manabe-san is Yui's neighbor. They grew up together," Ritsu Tainaka explained.
"You all know her?" Luo Yu was bewildered. What was going on? When did they all meet her?
Mio Akiyama revealed the truth, "We had a girls' tea party at Yui's house a while ago, and Manabe-san joined us. That's when we met."
Damn it! They had a girls' tea party and didn't invite me, just because I'm a guy? How dare they! How dare they assume my gender!
No, why am I acting up again? It must be too much of my DNA.
"Hello, I'm Luo Yu."
Even though his mind was racing, Luo Yu's outward demeanor remained calm as he greeted Kazuma.
"I know you. You're Luo Yu, the top student in the entire grade. I'm Yui's friend, Kazuma Manabe. Please take care of me." Kazuma introduced herself to Luo Yu.
I remember now! Isn't this Yui's mother, the Light Music Club's greatest backing, the legendary and incredibly influential Kazuma-san?
"Wawa, what brings you to our Light Music Club?" Yui Hirasawa steered the conversation back on track.
Kazuma also came to her senses and said, "While I was organizing documents in the student council, I noticed that your Light Music Club hasn't officially become a club yet, so I came to confirm it with you."
Yui Hirasawa: "Student Council?"
Seeing Yui's confusion, Kazuma explained, "I'm part of the student council."
"Really? Wawa, you're so amazing," Yui said with a vacant smile.
"Did you really grow up together?" Ritsu Tainaka teased Yui. Then she asked Kazuma, "Don't we have enough members for the Light Music Club already? Why isn't it an official club yet?"
"Because you haven't submitted the social activity application form," Kazuma replied.
Tsumugi Kotobuki: "Social activity application form?"
"I've never heard of such a thing!" Ritsu Tainaka declared confidently.
"You have heard of it!" Mio Akiyama transformed into a demon, grabbing Ritsu Tainaka's shoulders.
"Ah!" Ritsu Tainaka suddenly remembered, "I think I forgot..."
"It was you after all!" Mio Akiyama grabbed Ritsu Tainaka's cheeks and twisted them.
Watching the farce unfold, Kazuma sighed, "How should I put this... The Light Music Club, I feel it suits Yui quite well."
Kazuma-san, such high emotional intelligence.
"It can't be helped. I'll help you sort it out," Kazuma said with a sigh.
As expected of you, Kazuma-san, the one with great influence and connections.
"Alright, I've recorded it. Who is your faculty advisor?" Kazuma asked.
Ritsu Tainaka: "Faculty advisor?"
Mio Akiyama: "Faculty advisor!"
Tsumugi Kotobuki: "Faculty advisor!?"
Crunch! Yui Hirasawa was eating a cookie.
And...
"This is really good."
Luo Yu, still drinking his tea.
After Kazuma left.
The girls continued to discuss the matter of the faculty advisor.
However, after much discussion, they couldn't come to a conclusion.
Seeing Luo Yu still leisurely drinking his tea, Ritsu Tainaka said angrily, "Luo Yu, don't just drink tea! You should think of a solution too. What about Teacher Hiratsuka? Can she be our faculty advisor?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yu put down his teacup and replied, "Teacher Hiratsuka is the advisor for the Service Club, and from what I know of her, she wouldn't come to be our club's advisor."
"Then who should we find! We don't know any other teachers," Ritsu Tainaka exclaimed in frustration.
"I might have someone in mind," Luo Yu said softly after taking a sip of tea.
"Who?" ×4
"Our school's music teacher, Sawako Yamanaka."
"Do you think she'll agree?" Ritsu Tainaka asked doubtfully.
"She absolutely will!" Luo Yu walked to the bookshelf, took down an album, and said confidently.
After all, I have her blackmail material.
As someone who enjoys a good laugh, how could Luo Yu do nothing when he knew there was someone's embarrassing past in the Light Music Club's practice room?
Looking at the album in his hand, Luo Yu's expression became increasingly comical.
"Let's go, we'll find Little Sawako. I'm sure she won't refuse us." With that, Luo Yu opened the door and headed towards Sawako's office.
The girls exchanged glances. They could all see confusion in each other's eyes.
"Where does he get his confidence?" Ritsu Tainaka asked.
Mio Akiyama shook her head and replied, "I don't know, but Luo Yu just called Teacher Sawako 'Little Sawako.' They must be quite close."
Tsumugi Kotobuki: "Standing here won't solve anything. Luo Yu has already gone far ahead, we should follow him."
Watching Luo Yu walk away, the girls followed him.
Chapter 39: Little Sawako
Outside Sawako's office.
The Light Music Club members stood at the doorway.
"Luo Yu, do you really want Teacher Sawako to be our faculty advisor? Will she really agree?" Ritsu Tainaka was still a little worried.
"Just tell her what you need to say. Leave the matter of convincing her to me. Besides, we're already here, there's no turning back now." As he spoke, Luo Yu pushed open the office door, not giving the girls any more time to back out.
The girls could only brace themselves and follow Luo Yu to Sawako Yamanaka's desk.
"Everyone, what can I do for you?" Sawako Yamanaka asked curiously, looking at the five members of the Light Music Club in front of her.
The girls exchanged glances, then 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 love to be your advisor, I'm currently the advisor for the Wind Instrument Club, and taking on another role..."
"Oh no." The girls' faces fell.
"Luo Yu, it's up to you." Then, Luo Yu was pushed forward by the girls.
"Does student Luo Yu have anything else to say?" Sawako Yamanaka asked Luo Yu with a smile.
Luo Yu didn't say much, just waved the album in front of Sawako Yamanaka.
When Sawako Yamanaka clearly saw the album in Luo Yu's hand, the smile on her face vanished.
Seeing Sawako Yamanaka's expression, Luo Yu knew he had the upper hand and said, "Teacher Sawako, I found this album in the Light Music Club's practice room. Do you know what it is?"
Sawako Yamanaka snatched the album and stared intently at Luo Yu, saying, "You've looked at it, haven't you? You definitely looked at it!"
"Mmm-hmm~"
Luo Yu's smile was her only response.
"Damn it! I didn't expect the last one to be in the Light Music Club's room. Speak. What do you want?" Sawako Yamanaka looked resigned.
"Teacher Sawako, you don't want everyone to know about your embarrassing past, do you?" Luo Yu's expression became comical.
This male protagonist from the Far East, rein in your perverted tendencies. Huh? What? You're already in the Far East? Never mind then.
"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 dejectedly.
"Got it. Let's go back," Luo Yu said to the girls.
"Oh, right..." Luo Yu turned to Sawako Yamanaka and said, "Little Sawako, don't even think about going back on your word. I've made backups."
Sawako Yamanaka stiffened at his words.
So he wasn't planning on being honest after all. But it's fine, I have plenty of backups.
Back in the practice room.
Ritsu Tainaka came over and asked, "Luo Yu, Luo Yu, what did you show Teacher Sawako? Why did her attitude change so drastically?"
"You want to know?" Luo Yu asked, looking at the girls' curious eyes.
The girls all nodded.
"Alright." Luo Yu walked to the bookshelf and took down another identical album.
He then handed it to the four girls, "Take a look for yourselves."
"Didn't Teacher Sawako already take that one?" Ritsu Tainaka asked in surprise.
Hearing this, Luo Yu gave a knowing smile.
"How could I not back up something so interesting? Besides this one, I have the original manuscript on my phone. Sawako will never escape this embarrassing past."
He's so scary!
"By the way, didn't you promise Teacher Sawako that you wouldn't reveal her embarrassing past?" Ritsu Tainaka suddenly remembered and asked curiously.
"A joke!" Luo Yu retorted loudly. "The one who promised her was the ordinary high school student Luo Yu. What does that have to do with me, the light novel author Meng Yu?"
At this, the girls stared at Luo Yu, dumbfounded.
This person is such a scumbag!
Next, the girls flipped through the photo album and were amazed by Sawako Yamanaka's wild photos.
Time passed as the girls looked through the album.
Another day with no practice.
"Yu."
Just as Luo Yu was sighing, he suddenly noticed Mashiro appear at the Light Music Club's door. He asked:
"Mashiro, why are you here?"
"Eiri brought me. She left when we got to the door."
The girls had already noticed Mashiro's arrival. Seeing Luo Yu and Mashiro talking, Yui Hirasawa curiously asked:
"Luo Luo, do you know her?"
"Mashiro and I have known each other since we were kids." Luo Yu didn't see any reason to hide it.
"Mm, Yu is my feeder."
"Shu shu!"
Upon hearing this, the four girls all turned to look at Luo Yu, the word "pervert" flickering in their eyes.
The naturally cunning Miss Mashiro still didn't forget to badmouth Luo Yu in front of others.
Facing the girls' gazes, Luo Yu sighed and explained, "Mashiro means 'feeder' as in someone who takes care of her. I don't know why she uses that word."
The girls were still a bit suspicious after hearing Luo Yu's explanation and looked at Mashiro, but Mashiro didn't respond to them. Instead, she said to Luo Yu:
"Yu, I'm going home by myself today."
