"Leader, I brought a friend to visit!"
"Come in, Kaori!"
A cheerful voice came from the classroom.
The door opened.
Three girls came into view.
Seeing Natsuhiko enter, a girl with a wide forehead sitting to the side drinking tea leaped up from her stool.
Her tone was full of eagerness.
"Haha, you're Natsuhiko, right? I'm Tainaka Ritsu from class C of the first year. Even though I'm a first-year like you, I'm the leader!"
"It's an honor..."
"Oh, don't be so polite! As long as you join the K-On club, we're all brothers and sisters!"
Natsuhiko wasn't being polite.
He really meant it was an honor.
Ritsu-chan, the leader with tea-colored hair and golden eyes.
He felt like she looked a bit familiar during the club fair. So that's how it is!
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
So the girls from the K-On club have already come to Hoshinoumi.
This is good news that makes a strong man cry.
The other two must be Akiyama Mio and Kotobuki Tsumugi. They also quickly stood up, their eyes full of anticipation.
"Natsuhiko, will you join the club? We heard from Kaori that you're a super amazing guitarist, and your songs are great too! Our band really needs someone like you!"
Natsuhiko turned his head.
As expected, Miyazono Kaori looked a little shy.
"Hiko, the leader accidentally saw the song you wrote that day, so she wanted to ask you to come. We practiced a little and planned to perform for you. Of course, I already told them that you're a member of the student council and you don't participate in practice..."
"No, no, no, Natsuhiko, you're Kaori's friend, and the guitarist we want."
"Inviting you to join our club is a must. Actually, the K-On club is facing a huge crisis of being shut down right now."
Tainaka Ritsu was full of excitement a moment ago, but the next moment she was almost crying.
"Shut down? Why?"
Natsuhiko counted.
Although he didn't see Hirasawa Yui.
But no matter how you look at it, this club shouldn't be facing being shut down because of the number of members.
This Tainaka Ritsu, isn't she lying to him? You have to know, Ritsu is a real Oscar-worthy actor, the kind who can walk the red carpet...
Seeing Natsuhiko's face full of disbelief.
The girls invited him to the seat next to them.
Kotobuki smiled and handed him tea and snacks.
You could tell that Kotobuki was a true young lady. She now elegantly crossed her fingers and placed them in front of her chest, looking at him expectantly.
This is telling him to enjoy it to the fullest, right?
This is really luxurious.
Openly having afternoon tea in the club, Natsuhiko felt that his mind was too stiff, and he didn't know how to enjoy himself. Look at the K-On club, they were living a pretty good and comfortable life.
He thanked the girls.
Natsuhiko picked up the teacup.
Why on earth is there a tea set in the music room (slams table) and it tastes pretty good (smells so good)!
And so.
He had no choice but to listen to the leader's explanation while drinking tea.
The truth is.
The previous leader of Hoshinoumi Academy's K-On club was a third-year student. The students of Hoshinoumi Academy were surprisingly not interested in the K-On club.
And, most importantly.
The choir club, which also belongs to the music club, is considered a big club at Hoshinoumi Academy.
They have won many awards in national choir competitions.
Originally, this wasn't really anything.
The two didn't have any special connection in the first place.
They basically didn't bother each other.
Actually.
This year, with the influx of new students.
The choir's membership increased again.
The leader of the choir came forward and asked if the K-On club and the choir could be merged, so they would get another club room, easing the pressure of too many members.
Actually, at that time, the number of members was close to 0.
The teacher agreed.
But!
Our Ritsu, who always wanted to join the K-On club, had already taken the position of leader of the K-On club the day before, and then rejected the teacher's request with a very firm attitude.
Under Ritsu's offensive.
The teacher chose to compromise.
The condition was.
Hold a performance by the K-On club. If 2/3 of the people approve of the performance, they will agree to her request.
If they didn't succeed.
It would be disbanded immediately, with no other options.
Therefore, this is a critical moment of life and death.
The people present now are Tainaka Ritsu (drummer, loves the K-On club), Akiyama Mio (electric bass player, loves the K-On club), Kotobuki Tsumugi (keyboard player, originally planned to join the choir), Miyazono Kaori (violinist).
In fact.
People who have played in a band know.
Basically.
Most bands include a guitarist, a singer, a bassist, and a drummer, forming a four-person lineup.
Some bands remove one or more of these roles or have the singer also play an instrument, thus becoming a duo or trio.
Other bands will add one or two rhythm guitarists or a keyboard player.
In rare cases, bands will use stringed instruments such as violins or cellos, or wind instruments such as oboes, trumpets, and trombones.
The current situation is that there is no guitarist, no songwriter, and no lead singer.
That's the situation.
After Miyazono Kaori accidentally revealed that she knew a super amazing guitarist and original musician.
His arrival naturally became the goal of their welcome.
However.
Shouldn't the guitarist be Hirasawa Yui?
Natsuhiko couldn't be sure.
It remains to be seen whether or not this person exists in this world. He wisely didn't bring up this question.
Tainaka Ritsu instantly approached and grabbed Natsuhiko's wrists with both hands.
"Natsuhiko, no matter what, let us show you our sincerity first!"
She seemed to be going all out.
Sincerity?
The current situation is a bit serious. Isn't there a saying that "It is a man's shame not to eat what is offered"?
Natsuhiko nodded.
"Okay!"
"Kaori, Mio, let's do an impromptu performance of Natsuhiko's song right now!"
This was really unexpected, beyond imagination.
"You're going to play my song?"
Instantly, Natsuhiko was speechless.
Shouldn't they be seducing him with their charms to join the K-On club?
This development is too ordinary ().
With a trace of disappointment, Natsuhiko agreed to let them start.
"Okay! Okay! We're ready. Everyone, pay attention, here we go!"
"We're not very good at playing together yet... I hope we can get guidance from Natsuhiko."
Okay then.
Now that things have come to this, he can only agree for the time being. He's pretty bored right now anyway.
The four exchanged glances.
They each gripped the instruments in their hands.
And then.
"Dong, dong, dong, dong."
The snare drum beat out the rhythm, and the performance began!
"GOD KNOWS", the song Natsuhiko liked and played on the guitar in the music room.
