In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

Takamatsu Den quickly replied.

“Okay, Lixi, I’ll be leaving around seven in the morning.”

Shiina Tatsuki replied immediately.

"No problem, see you tomorrow."

After putting down her phone, a look of anticipation appeared in her eyes.

"We'll see Tamaru in a maid outfit tomorrow!"

……

At seven o'clock the next morning, after the alarm clock rang, Shiina Tatsuki immediately got out of bed, quickly washed up, and then went out to take the train to the downstairs of Takamatsu Akari's house.

Seeing that it wasn't 7:30 yet, she felt a little embarrassed. Then she sat on a stone bench and took out her composition notes from yesterday from her bag to review them.

A little after seven o'clock, Takamatsu Akari walked out of the building entrance, saw Shiina Tatsuki, walked over and greeted her.

The latter immediately looked up, greeted the former, then put away his notebook and asked with some confusion,

"Doesn't the lamp need a schoolbag?"

Gao Songdeng nodded.

Because there really wasn't much I needed to bring.

She's in the support team; she only needs to send someone out during events.

Shiina Riki sensed something was off, but after thinking about it, she figured the maid outfit might already be at the school, and her anticipation rekindled.

When the two arrived at the classroom, they saw that almost all the students had arrived.

The students in the catering department are processing ingredients and discussing which dishes to prepare.

Since it's a trial operation, we didn't have much prepared and could only offer a limited selection of dishes.

Next to them, several support group students were helping to clean various kitchen utensils and such.

Students who have nothing to do for the time being usually gathered in groups of three or five to chat.

After seeing Takamatsu Akari and Shiina Tatsuki enter, apart from a few students from the catering department who had seen the latter before, the other students all cast curious glances at them.

At this moment, Shirakawa Sawa walked over and introduced the latter to everyone.

"This is Shiina, a classmate from Hanasakigawa. She's an outside helper in the food and beverage team and is in charge of making drinks."

The students suddenly realized what was happening and began to applaud in welcome.

After a while, the homeroom teacher came in, clapped his hands as usual, and gestured for the students to look at him first.

"Considering that the students in our maid group need to change clothes, I specially applied to the school for activity room number six on the first floor of the adjacent teaching building to be used as a changing room. Students who need to change clothes can go there."

The maid group students immediately went over together, and Chihaya Aine also mingled in, taking advantage of the chaos to strike up conversations and start building a social network.

Seeing that everyone was getting ready to change clothes, Shiina Tatsuki felt a little shy.

At the same time, I looked at Takamatsu Akari and found that the other party didn't seem to be making any movements, nor did he seem to be taking out any clothes or anything.

This made her a little curious.

The other person also glanced at her with a hint of curiosity.

"Isn't Lixi going to change her clothes?"

Shiina Tatsuki spoke cautiously.

"Light...don't you need to change your clothes?"

Takamatsu Akari shook his head.

"I'm from the support team."

"No need to wear a maid outfit."

Upon hearing this, Shiina Tatsuki turned to look at Shirakawa Sawa beside him and found that the man was suppressing a laugh.

Oh no, it feels like I've been scammed?

She carefully recalled every detail, from the moment the other person invited her to the moment they told her about changing into a maid outfit.

Ultimately, she realized that she had been tricked.

And this is a loss we have to suffer in silence.

Because the other person never said that Takamatsu Akari would wear a maid outfit, but her words implied that she would...

It was because of this expectation that she agreed so readily in the beginning...

She felt incredibly sad; the image of Takamatsu Akari in a maid outfit that she had been looking forward to for so long had only existed in her imagination...

My dream... is shattered.

If it weren't for the fact that she felt indebted to Shirakawa Ze, she would have definitely shown this scumbag what school bullying was like today.

But since things had come to this, she couldn't say anything more. She clenched her fists and went to the dressing room to change her clothes...

Volume 1: Chapter 83 Xiao Xiang's Touching Moments

The trial operation in the morning was actually to help students understand and adapt to the business process more quickly by simulating the operation process.

At the same time, we should see if any problems that we did not notice before will arise during the actual operation.

Although we were well prepared, they were, after all, a group of students, and the process didn't go smoothly at first. We were in a flurry of activity for a while before we gradually got used to it.

In contrast, Shiina Tatsuki, who often works part-time, is much more adept at handling her assigned tasks.

Especially here, she doesn't need to entertain guests; she only needs to prepare drinks according to the orders in the kitchen.

This made her feel very comfortable, allowing her to maximize her efficiency and stability.

She quickly won the approval of her classmates, who then had no further objections to this outside helper.

After the morning bell rang, the school's public address system began broadcasting.

"Attention all students, this afternoon after 1 p.m., the school will be conducting setup and inspection for the school festival."

"Therefore, please make sure to finish all activities and leave the school before 1 p.m.

"Students and external support staff will be allowed to enter the school after 7:00 AM tomorrow."

"The restrictions on visits from junior and senior high school students will be lifted tomorrow at 10:00 AM, which also marks the official start of our school's unique school festival!"

"Go for it, students!"

Upon hearing this broadcast, the students didn't show much emotional reaction.

After all, the homeroom teacher had said from the beginning that there would be a half-day off after the trial operation ended.

It doesn't matter whether you're at school or not during this half-day break.

However, some people were quite interested in this broadcast.

That's Toyokawa Shoko.

All students must leave the school after 1 p.m. and will not be able to return until 7 a.m. the next morning.

This means that during this period, she will not be able to practice piano in the school's common music room...

Although she became more familiar with the instrument after practicing yesterday, it still didn't meet her expectations, so she planned to practice as soon as the trial operation ended today.

This broadcast completely shattered her plans.

If you want to practice the piano, there's no shortage of places to do so; most music stores near schools can provide practice rooms.

Those small, individual practice rooms don't cost much to rent for a few hours.

But it's still money!

After her father's theft and robbery, her savings were in grave danger, and now she tries to avoid spending money as much as possible.

Just as she was hesitating whether to go to the music room, she felt her phone vibrate twice.

She took out her phone and saw two unread messages.

One message was from the mobile carrier, reminding her that her SIM card was about to run out of credit.

One of them is Shirakawa Sawa, which is the positioning of a music store.

She knew this music store; it was probably the largest in the area and offered a variety of services.

Immediately afterwards, the other party sent several more messages.

"Toyokawa-kun, we'll record right here today."

"If you have time after school, I'd like to ask you to check if there are any problems with the recording studio equipment, since I don't know much about this stuff."

Can you do me this favor?

"If you'd like, just give me my name when you get there; I've already made an appointment."

Toyokawa Shoko replied with one sentence.

"Okay, I'll go check it out after our class's trial operation ends."

She put away her phone, a thoughtful look appearing in her eyes.

After the trial operation of the classroom ended, it was already past noon. Toyokawa Shoko walked out of the school gate and went directly to the music store that Shirakawa Sawa had mentioned.

Upon reaching the entrance of the music store, the doormen standing on either side immediately bowed to him, then opened the door and gestured for him to come in.

After giving a slight nod to the doorman, Toyokawa Shoko went inside. A tall, beautiful woman in a uniform immediately greeted her with a professional smile.

Hello, how can I help you?

Toyokawa Shoko spoke calmly.

"Excuse me, has Shirakawa Sawa booked a recording studio here?"

The woman opened her tablet, checked something, and then looked up at the girl.

Yes, may I ask your surname?
