[One, two, three!]

My heart pounds every time I look at you.

The moment the song started, the four of them felt as if they were back in their first year of high school.

Akiyama Mio, who was originally a little shy, was surprisingly calm, her mind filled with more thoughts about the future.

I wonder what my feelings will be when I watch this animation again decades later?

The song also featured a husky backing vocal from Hirasawa Yui, which made Akiyama Mio want to laugh as well.

on the screen.

As the song ended, Akiyama Mio, her cheeks flushed from the heat and shyness, was moved by the applause from the audience and stared blankly at the crowd below.

After a long silence, he blurted out:

Thank you everyone!

As he turned to leave the field, he suddenly tripped over a power line and fell to the ground.

The posture was slightly awkward in order to protect the instrument.

Meanwhile, the blue and white stripes under her black dress happened to be visible, facing the audience below the stage.

"Ah ah!!"

In front of the television, Akiyama Mio couldn't help but scream in surprise.

On the screen, only her black clothes and her extremely shy and bewildered expression were shown, while the blue and white stripes were replaced with a blue and white striped bowl filled with rice.

But both the expressions of Kotobuki Tsumugi and his two companions on stage and the excited behavior of the audience clearly illustrate one fact.

Moreover, although Sakuragaoka is an all-girls school, the performance took place during the school festival, and there were a very small number of male family members from outside the school in the audience.

[Ugh...!]

Seeing her two-dimensional self in the anime, Akiyama Mio in real life also screamed:

"No...!!"

Ritsu Tainaka quickly covered his ears with his hands and gently comforted him:

"President Hayase kept his word; he didn't release any blue and white stripes. It was just a bowl of rice. Pfft..."

In the end, she couldn't help but laugh.

Although it was embarrassing for my friend, the way the animation used a blue and white bowl to represent this action was so amazing that it added a touch of color to the whole scene.

"So this is the dark history that Mio-senpai has always been unwilling to talk about," Nakano Azusa said, suppressing a laugh.

Feeling it was impolite for a junior to laugh, I quickly covered my mouth with both hands.

The fact that this kind of thing has been made into an anime and broadcast is incredible. Given the current popularity of K-On!, the blue and white bowl will definitely become a famous meme and will remain popular for the next ten years or so.

On television, Akiyama Mio, her shame completely overwhelming, had turned ashen, muttering to herself:

[I'm...unable to get married.]

Episode 6 has ended, and the ending theme begins to play.

In reality, Hirasawa Yui couldn't help but hug Akiyama Mio, smiling as she comforted her:

"Mio is super cute, so there's no problem, she'll definitely get married!"

“I think so too.” Nakano Azusa gently hugged Akiyama Mio and whispered a comforting word, “Mio-senpai is really cute.”

"Mio is so cute! I want to hug her too!" Ritsu Tainaka also joined in.

Kotobuki Tsumugi, who was sitting to one side, thought for a moment and then gently hugged Akiyama Mio's arm as well.

"I am coming too."

"I can't stay on Earth anymore, I'm going to take a rocket to another planet." Akiyama Mio muttered to herself, her face full of despair.

Just then, Akiyama Mio's phone rang.

Seeing that she showed no intention of answering the call, Kotobuki Tsumugi couldn't help but ask:

"Aren't you going to answer, Mio?"

"How much does it cost to go to Mars? I don't know if the money I've saved up is enough?"

"Eh..."

Based on past experience, it takes Akiyama Mio a long time to recover from this condition.

Kotobuki Tsumugi simply reached out and picked up her phone from the coffee table, glancing down at it.

"Oh...! It's Ms. Ando on the phone. There's another call from President Hayase as well."

Upon hearing this, Akiyama Mio quickly took the phone and answered Masamune's call, while Nakano Azusa also cooperated by turning down the TV volume.

"You're lying! You're lying!! You clearly said you wouldn't do this scene."

"This scene wasn't even in the storyboard from the previous dubbing, but what's with the blue and white bowl in the animation?! Are they burying their heads in the sand?"

"Liar! I'm beyond marriage; there's no place for me on Earth anymore..."

After she finished venting, Masamune's voice finally came through the phone:

"I'm sorry, this is my fault, and I'll let you handle this matter as you see fit. But I still believe that everyone has this kind of dark history, so just relax."

"If you really can't accept it, I can take you on a trip abroad to relax."

"By the way, the reason I'm calling is to tell you some good news."

"After the Blue and White Bowl broadcast just now, online orders for K-On!'s albums exploded instantly. We should be able to reach 10 copies today."

"Huh...?" Akiyama Mio looked surprised and whispered, "You're kidding, right? How could this be?"

Upon hearing this, Kotobuki Tsumugi understood and quickly took out her phone to access the album ordering website.

The next moment, the rapidly rising numbers appeared before them.

"We've already reached 70,000 copies, 73145, 73542, that's a fast increase! Mio, you've done a great job! That's fantastic! We're about to reach 100,000 copies."

"Waaah... I don't want this kind of credit at all."

The thought of the scene being broadcast on television and seen nationwide, and the Blu-ray being sold simultaneously after the anime finished airing, made Akiyama Mio feel like she was suffocating.

Although the Oregairu show was airing on TV and was as excellent as ever, no one paid attention; everyone was focused on the rapidly rising sales figures on the webpage.

That number rose to 23 before slowing down, but it is still continuing to rise.

"We've reached 100,000 copies! We can go to the Budokan next month! Thank you, Mio." Hirasawa Yui hugged Akiyama Mio tightly, her face full of smiles.

"Don't thank me at a time like this! Waaah... I can't even go out anymore. Should I get plastic surgery? And change my name?"

At that moment, Masamune's voice rang out again:

"There's no need to care about what others think, just be yourself."

“When I was a kid, people at school often called me ‘pig’s feet.’ I was really angry. After holding it in for a few months, I grabbed a baseball bat and beat them all into the hospital.”

“After that, I was forced to transfer schools.”

"But since my home is in Tokyo, it's impossible to transfer to a school that's too far away. Since the two schools are not far apart, rumors of a fight quickly spread throughout the school."

“Rich people bully others, fat people abuse violence, and all sorts of abusive language is used.”

"Of course, because of his notorious reputation, no one dares to speak ill of him to his face, but people say all sorts of things behind his back."

"Elementary school, junior high school, high school. Although the past has long been forgotten by everyone, my situation of being alone has never changed."

"I can say without hesitation that I don't have a single friend!"

"However, I still grew up safely and didn't feel like I had any psychological problems."

"If you still feel unsatisfied, I can put on thick clothes and let you beat me up."

"If you're afraid to go out, I can drive you to and from school."

"If you're worried about being laughed at or verbally abused, I can also help you hire some bodyguards."

"In short, no matter how bad the consequences are, I will do my best to help you resolve them."

Akiyama Mio stared blankly at her phone for a long time before finally saying:

"You're so thoughtful, why didn't you remove this scene when you were making the animation? So the school festival could proceed as normal."

"Wouldn't that distort historical facts?"

“You’re not a historian who records history, so what does it have to do with history? Besides, I’m too ashamed to face anyone about this.”

“If you can’t help but care, then tell the outside world: it was all Hayase Masamune’s doing, and put all the blame on me.”

"That's too cunning! Now that you've said that, I can no longer keep complaining, can I?"

"I'm sorry. I can say this as many times as I want, but I sincerely hope you won't care too much about what others think and just be yourself."

After quietly hanging up the phone, Akiyama Mio felt somewhat relieved of her embarrassment and annoyance. Although she still couldn't help but care, her mood was gradually recovering.

"Total sales reached 24! The blue and white bowl is amazing..." Hirasawa Yui exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly.

“This is just online sales; there are also offline sales and sales in other overseas countries.” Ritsu Tainaka said while observing Mio Akiyama’s expression, “Adding it all up, I feel like 50 copies in sales this month wouldn’t be a problem.”

"Martial arts hall, martial arts hall..." Hirasawa Yui stared intently at Akiyama Mio, repeating softly.

Chapter Sixty-Five: See you at 7 PM

The sixth episode of "Oregairu" is as excellent as ever. With Yukino Yukinoshita taking the initiative, Yui Yuigahama officially joins the Service Club.

The misunderstanding between the three was cleared up, and their relationship improved somewhat.

Compared to the more than 300 animated series that aired at the same time, it is undoubtedly one of the best.

However, on related forums, Musashino's official Twitter account, and other online platforms, the discussions were all about K-On!

The few comments on Oregairu are quickly overshadowed by the comments on K-On! whenever they appear.

The sales of the sixth episode Blu-rays for the two anime series also showed a difference of more than five times.

"President, K-On!'s sales are too strong; Oregairu is no match for it at all."

During the morning meeting, after the discussion on the progress of the new anime production ended, Yasuyuki Takeuchi took the initiative to steer the conversation toward the two anime series currently airing.
