It's a romantic comedy for everyone, so why am I the only one single?

However, upon seeing Kono Sakura, he suddenly remembered seeing Himegami Saori when he used the club registration form to find Kanda Sorata last time.

"Well, now that Ai is the lead singer, we can ask Saori Himegami to be the piano accompanist."

"Although it's a bit monotonous with only piano and guitar compared to the original, it should be enough to make a splash as Xiao Ai's 'debut' song."

As Iura Hide thought about it, he couldn't help but yawn.

Just then, the school bell rang. He took out his textbook and notebook, opened them, glanced at the teacher pretending to look at him, scribbled a couple of notes in his notebook, and then quickly fell asleep.

While Sakura Kono didn't openly sleep in class like he and Mashiro, she was completely uninterested in listening to the lecture.

Although his eyes were fixed on the teacher on the podium, his mind was still analyzing and proving the truth of his previous guess from various angles, trying to prove that Iura Hide was definitely not that kind of person.

But after some deliberation, she couldn't think of any other reasonable possibility for her CPU, which was already on the verge of overload and burning out.

"How could you do this, Iura-kun!"

"He already has a girlfriend, how could he cheat on Shiina with her?"

"Poor Shiina-kun!"

Kono Sakura grew angrier the more she thought about it. She turned to look at Iura Hide, who was sleeping soundly, but there was no anger in her eyes. Instead, there was a strange light that seemed to have no meaning.

"Hey, Hasegawa!"

"Huh? Iura? What brings you here? Are you looking for someone?"

"Yes, there is a girl in your class named Saori Himegami, right? I need to ask her for help with something."

"Oh, you mean Himegami-san? She's sitting over there. Do you want me to call her for you?"

"Then please."

The advantage of having good interpersonal relationships is that you can find people you know to help you wherever you go.

For example, right now, during a break between classes, Iura Shu came upstairs to the classroom of Class 7 where Himegami Saori was. He didn't even need to look for her; he saw a classmate he knew and was on good terms with in the corridor from afar.

A moment later, Saori Himegami, with a pair of large headphones around her neck, short gray-green hair that was a bit darker than Hideaki Iura's original hair color, regular features, slender hands and feet, and a somewhat emotionless appearance, walked out of the classroom.

Chapter 107 Kono Sakura, who isn't very curious

Of course, Saori Himegami is just a little cold-hearted; she's not truly emotionless (or kuudere). After all, Mashiro from *Sakurasou no Sakura* is already an emotionless character.

Moreover, Iura Hide soon discovered that Himegami Saori did not act as cold and unapproachable as usual in front of him.

On the contrary, a bit

"Hello, Himegami-san, I am Iura Hide from Class 3."

"Hello, I am Saori Himegami."

As Iura Hide was scrutinizing Himemiya Saori, Himemiya Saori was also scrutinizing him, her deep brown eyes flashing with a light of scrutiny and curiosity.

"You came to me because you want me to record an accompaniment for you?" Before Iura Hide could speak, Himegami Saori had already taken the initiative to ask.

"How did you know?" Iura Hide paused for a moment, a look of surprise on his face.

“Because I’ve heard your songs,” said Saori Himegami, tapping the earphones around her neck.

"The lyrics and music are excellent, the singing is also okay, the guitarist is a master, but the keyboardist's skill is not so good, at most an amateur."

"And the only things I can barely be proud of are the piano and the violin."

Iura Hide was stunned for several seconds before he came to his senses.

He wasn't angry or upset when Saori Himegami said his singing was mediocre and his keyboard playing wasn't great either, because that was the truth.

His singing and keyboard skills are indeed only at an amateur level.

only

"Does Saori Himegami from Sakura-sou talk that much? I don't think so. Even in front of her best friend Misaki, she always seems to be on the passive side."

Iura Hideki secretly wondered.

In fact, Saori Himegami usually acts rather cold towards others and rarely speaks, but Hideki Iura is different from the others.

You can tell this by the headphones she always wears around her neck.

Although many people also enjoy listening to and singing songs, and often go to karaoke for gatherings, in her opinion, only she and Iura Hide are so enthusiastic about listening to music with headphones on even when they are not in class or eating.

Although Hideaki Iura doesn't always wear headphones, everyone knows how much he loves listening to music because he often recommends his favorite music to others and lends CDs to them.

In addition, Iura Shu was an extremely dazzling presence at school, so she had actually been secretly paying attention to Iura Shu, this 'kind', for a long time.

Judging by the time, it was even much earlier than Boqi Jiang.

However, she is a very famous celebrity in the classical music circle, not a socially awkward nobody like Boqi Jiang.

Therefore, unlike Boqi-chan, she did not harbor such strong admiration and longing for Iura Hide, nor did she want to get close to him.

She did indeed have feelings for Hideaki Iura.

Perhaps because I've been watching for so long, there might even be a little bit of admiration.

But just like most people when they are in high school, when they are attracted to the school beauty, they may admire her, but they usually only admire her from afar.

Even when Iura Hide suddenly came to find her, she was only a little surprised, happy and excited. She became a little more talkative, but did not have any further thoughts.

After all, aren't Hori Kyoko, Yoshikawa Yuki, and Kono Sakura, who usually surround Iura Hide, prettier than her?

Now there's another school beauty, Mashiro, whose looks rival Hori Kyoko's, and who's also a world-class painting genius. She's not stupid enough to even try to get close to her.

Iura Hide was unaware of her thoughts, so he felt a little strange seeing her like this.

“You’re too modest. If third place in the student piano category of the National Music Competition is only ‘barely presentable,’ what about the others?” Iura Hide said politely, suppressing the strange feeling in his heart.

"Okay, thank you for the compliment, but I would be even happier if you came to me to make violin accompaniments."

As Saori Himegami shrugged, Iura Hide couldn't help but chuckle.

Saori Himegami's piano talent is similar to that of Emi Igawa in "April," as she can win third place in a national-level competition, which shows how amazing she is.

But she preferred the violin.

It's as if playing the piano is just her job, while playing the violin is her hobby.

"It's not impossible to record a violin part here. We can try putting it in during the arrangement process. It might have an unexpected effect. Of course, the premise is that you don't mind the trouble."

After thinking for a moment, Iura Hide said with a smile.

Although the original version of "If We Can Shine" does not have a violin in its accompaniment, that doesn't mean we can't try adding one. If it doesn't work well, we can just discard it.

"really?"

Saori Himegami's eyes immediately lit up.

It's just recording a violin accompaniment, what trouble could it possibly be for her?

Her violin skills aren't as impressive as her piano skills, but they're still at a professional level! Most importantly, how could she possibly find doing what she loves troublesome?

"Did you bring the sheet music?"

"Uh, no, I'll add you on Line and send it to you later."

"it is good!"

Seeing Himegami Saori's eager and excited expression, Iura Hide couldn't help but smile again.

He never expected that asking Himegami Saori for help would be so easy. Initially, considering her somewhat aloof personality, he thought it would be quite a hassle to persuade her.

He then added Saori Himegami's Line number and sent her the sheet music.

Saori Himegami only glanced at it quickly, but the general melody had already taken shape in her mind, making her eyes light up immediately.

"Your composition skills are really amazing!"

"I think the piano accompaniment can be finished tonight, as for the violin..."

"Tomorrow night at the latest! I mainly need to go to school, it would be a waste of time."

Iura Hide felt embarrassed after hearing this. He had originally wanted to say that he would give it to him on the weekend, but he didn't expect Himegami Saori to be so quick.

In that case, he would have to start thinking about drummers and bassists sooner rather than later.

"Should we ask Ijichi Nijika and Yamada Ryo, or spend money to hire a more professional drummer and bassist to record? If we ask Ijichi Nijika and Yamada Ryo, we'll definitely have to bring up the idea of ​​forming a band."

On his way back to the classroom, Iura Hide kept thinking about this.

In the end, he decided that after school tomorrow afternoon, he would take Hoshino Ai and Pochi-chan to meet Ijichi Nijika.

As for this afternoon, of course we'll go find Kitagawa Kaimu.

Just kidding! Do you know how much suffering he endured that weekend?

If he didn't have to take care of Mashiro this morning, he would have considered asking Kitagawa Kaimu to take the day off too!

To his surprise, less than a minute after the bell rang for the end of the second class, Hori Kyoko came over and woke him up from his sleep as he was resting.

"Huh? Hori-kun?"

"Um, Iura, come with me for a moment."

Still a little groggy after being woken up, Iura Hide responded with a sound and, without thinking much of it, got up and followed Hori Kyoko out of the classroom.

The others in the classroom merely glanced at it, including Ishikawa Toru, and none of them noticed anything amiss.

After all, the two already had a good relationship, and recently they've been having lunch together every day.

Of course, the most important thing is that it was the very popular Hide Iura who was called out; otherwise, people would definitely have had second thoughts if it were someone else.

However, perhaps because she was closest to Hori Kyoko and had been secretly watching Iura Hide's situation, Kono Sakura keenly noticed the awkwardness, hesitation, and embarrassment on Hori Kyoko's face, which made her immediately realize that something was wrong.

"Is Hori-san in some kind of trouble?"

Kono Sakura's eyes flickered, and a sudden urge and curiosity to find out the truth welled up in her heart.

She swore! She was definitely not the kind of girl who liked gossip or was very curious, like Ayasaki Remi!

but

"This matter is related to Iura-kun!"

"and"
