My anime/manga fandom can't be that lazy.

[Are you idiots still chatting here?! Volume 5 is out!!! And the first volume of the new Touhou Project is out too!!! Bookstores are stocking them today!]

Holy crap!

Holy crap!? Volume 5 has been released? And with a new book included?

Upon hearing this news, the administrators in the fan group were completely stunned. They hadn't heard anything about it, and even Yakumo-sensei's Twitter account hadn't posted anything.

Suddenly someone said that volume 5 had been released?! And a new work was released along with it!

For Fate fans, this was like a mountain of money falling on their heads; the unexpected surprise brought them both pain and joy.

[As expected of Yakumo-sensei, the legend lives up to its name; he actually released two volumes in one go...]

[I'm guilty for continuing to question Yakumo-sensei's update speed; I'm going to buy some books to atone for my sins.]

Is this update speed even human-like?

Only a few people haven't realized the seriousness of the situation and are still chatting in the group. The truly smart people have already scrambled out of their homes and are heading towards the bookstore.

However, those who found out late were still a step too late when they arrived at the bookstore. Most of the bookstores were already packed with people, with long queues forming. If they were unlucky enough to run into a few die-hard otaku, all the books would be sold out.

At this moment, Toyonosaki...

A student climbed over the wall, his face filled with excitement. Not only that, but another person also climbed over the other wall. The two, who didn't know each other, saw each other and stared at each other.

Then... they looked at each other and smiled, with an expression of 'what a coincidence'.

"Hey bro, are you going to buy Fate volume 5 too?"

"Of course! Otherwise, why would I skip class to dig this out?!"

The two hit it off immediately and headed to the nearest bookstore. Even though they didn't know each other at all, they became friends instantly because of "Fate"—that's the charm of ACG.

Only Dongfang Bai remained sitting in the Light Music Club activity room with an indifferent expression.

"Oh, it seems like things are getting a bit chaotic online."

Dongfang Bai glanced at his Twitter account and saw that the comment section was flooded with messages. His Twitter followers had reached the five million mark, which was an astonishing number.

It's worth noting that even among the top novelists in the industry, Senju Muramasa only has eight million Twitter followers, while Dongfang Bai, a newcomer who debuted only half a year ago, already has five million followers.

Moreover, these followers don't seem to be die-hard fans from China; they are all real, living people.

"But hopefully these guys won't cry when they see the contents of Volume 5."

Dongfang Bai's lips curled slightly, his mischievous nature suggesting he could already imagine the surprise and utter bewilderment of the fans upon seeing Saber's identity.

"What, Volume 5?"

Akiyama Mio glanced at Dongfang Bai with a puzzled look. His expression had become very 'strange' after he had just looked at his phone, and it seemed a little different from before.

"It's nothing, it's just that one of my favorite light novels has been released."

Dongfang Bai smiled slightly and put down his phone. He was currently engaged in club activities and sat at the wooden table in the light music club's activity room, slowly sipping his black tea.

"Is it really okay for us to be leisurely drinking tea like this?! The school festival is coming up soon!"

Akiyama Mio's words did not cause any panic among the crowd; everyone continued to drink tea leisurely.

"~ It's okay, it's okay, anyway, there should still be a month until the school festival."

Ritsu Tainaka sat comfortably in her chair, holding a teacup in both hands, looking like an elderly lady enjoying her retirement.

"Hmm, there's still more than a month to go."

Yui Hirasawa also had an indifferent expression. People often feel that they have plenty of time left and don't need to rush to do work. Doing summer homework and working are the same principle.

"However, the final exams are coming up soon, aren't they?"

Kotobuki Tsumugi suddenly spoke up, looking puzzled. Although everyone still looked calm, they had completely forgotten about the final exams.

"...Huh? Final exams?"

Hirasawa was stunned. Her expression changed the moment she heard about the final exam. You see, among the five members of the Light Music Club, Higashikata Shiro, Akiyama Mio (Wang Wang Zhao), and Kotobuki Tsumugi all had excellent grades.

There's absolutely no need to worry about final exams or accommodations.

"Oh yeah, you guys forgot about the final exams."

Mio Akiyama said with a face full of black lines, "Don't these girls worry about anything? They spend their whole day drinking tea in club activities. This is called the Light Music Club? They might as well rename it the Tea Drinking Club."

It truly lives up to its name as the Light Music Club. Every day, you can drink tea and eat snacks. In the Light Music Club, you can even see the members playing music.

"Speaking of which, Kazuka told me that the school festival performances have to be submitted, otherwise you can't perform on stage, okay?"

Hirasawa Yui had thought of this, and that's when she suddenly spoke up. Akiyama Mio seemed quite reassured about it, waving her hand slightly and saying, "That's no problem. I remember having Ritsu report it already."

Ritsu Tainaka suddenly paused in his eating...

Ritsu Tainaka's expression seemed to change a little, and at that moment, Mio Akiyama also had a bad feeling and rolled her eyes at her.

"Law, you've already reported it, right?"

"..."

Silence, endless silence. All five members of the Light Music Club fell silent. The air suddenly went still, which was the most frightening thing. At this moment, Akiyama Mio suddenly stood up.

"You haven't reported it yet?!"

"Feel sorry!!!"

Ritsu Tainaka clasped her hands together in an apologetic gesture, her eyes brimming with tears, as if she were about to burst into them at any moment. She had completely forgotten about it.

Because when Akiyama Mio gave her the report form, she went to get some snacks and left it unwritten, and then completely forgot about it and lost the report form somewhere.

"Does that mean we won't be able to participate in the school festival?"

Hirasawa Yui suddenly realized that it was too late to report it now. She heard that the student council had already arranged the program, and if there was no other way, they would not be able to perform on stage at the school festival.

"It's all my fault, I'm doomed..."

Ritsu Tainaka crouched on the ground, her hands covering her head, looking like she was about to cry. If this prevented the Light Music Club from speaking, she would be too ashamed to face everyone.

"It's over..."

Akiyama Mio also looked up at the sky at a 667-degree angle with a black line on her face. They had to give up the school festival performance. It seemed that they would have to wait until next year's 'New Student Welcome Party' to perform on stage.

"But the Light Music Club is on the performance list."

Dongfang Bai held a teacup in his left hand with a calm expression, while his right hand held the 'performance list' for the school festival. He had known from the beginning that the Light Music Club was on the performance list.

However, he found everyone's expressions amusing, so he didn't say anything.

"Huh?"

Akiyama Mio was stunned, seemingly not having reacted yet, and even Tainaka Ritsu raised her little head in disbelief.

"Ah, speaking of which, Hehe said she was afraid we would forget, so she has already reported it for us."

Hirasawa looked like she'd just realized something, and only then did she remember. Akiyama Mio grabbed her shoulders and shook her back and forth repeatedly, yelling, "Why didn't you say so sooner?!"

This feeling of being on the verge of heaven or hell is really bad for the heart. Just now, Akiyama Mio felt like her heart was about to stop!

"Ah, I forgot... Sorry, sorry."

Hirasawa Yui scratched the back of her head sheepishly, looking apologetic. Her expression made it hard to blame her, so Akiyama Mio sighed and gave up.

"In short, this means we can act in it, right?"

Kotobuki Tsumugi seemed to have a smiling expression from the very beginning, showing absolutely no sign of panic.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Dongfang Bai received a text message. He picked up his phone and glanced at it. His expression changed slightly, and his furrowed brows puzzled the four girls in the Light Music Club.

"What's wrong, Bai Jun?"

Akiyama Mio asked curiously, as it was rare to see Dongfang Bai with such a worried expression. Suddenly, Dongfang Bai saw Akiyama Mio and had a look of sudden realization.

"Have it!"

Dongfang Bai grabbed Qiushan Mio's shoulder, instantly turning the innocent girl's face red. She stammered and couldn't say a word, her legs went weak, and she almost lost her balance.

"Ritsu, Mio, Yui, Tsumugi, would you be willing to put on a live show?"

"Organize...organize a live stream?"

In the industry, 'Live' simply means a performance. Dongfang Bai suddenly frowned, but then suddenly became overjoyed. It's really hard to understand what's wrong with him.

"That's right, actually, there's a problem at the amusement park where I work. The performers who were supposed to be putting on a show have a problem, but the show is about to start..."

The amusement park that Dongfang Bai was referring to was Amagi Brilliant Park, because the park usually calls him to ask for solutions to any problems. However, Sento Isuzu is very stubborn and usually won't come to him unless it's something really difficult to solve.

But this time was different. This time it was the Four Seasons Fairy Show held at Amagi Radiant Park. The fairies were originally scheduled to sing and perform, but those four suddenly had a problem.

It's because last night I went out to eat in preparation for today, and then ate again after I got back, which resulted in food poisoning and I had to be taken to the hospital...

If something goes wrong with this performance, it would be a huge blow to Amagi Brilliant Park.

"A concert? For us?!"

It was only then that Ritsu Tainaka realized that they were complete newcomers who had never performed before, and they were still high school students. Why would they suddenly be asked to perform?

"It's okay, I'll take over the lead vocals this time. I only need to sing one song!"

Dongfang Bai's words were very serious, which made the four girls in front of him take it seriously. Although they usually lazily drank tea and ate snacks, they never forgot that they were the Light Music Club.

"...Okay! Let's go! Let's go perform!"

Ritsu Tainaka looked 'burning with passion,' and you could almost see the fighting spirit in her eyes. Meanwhile, Mio Akiyama, standing to the side, took a while to react and stammered, unable to say anything for a long time.

A performance?! And in front of a bunch of guests?! A performance inside an amusement park?!

"Come on, Mio! Just think of this as practice before the school festival! Don't worry about it, I'll take responsibility for all the consequences!"

Dongfang Bai extended his right hand to Qiushan Mio, his resolute smile causing Qiushan Mio to pause, almost unable to resist reaching out to hold his hand...

I will bear all the consequences! How courageous!

"So handsome."

Hirasawa Yui's eyes sparkled. All five members of the Light Music Club became serious. Let their past 'practice' and the 'devil training' during the training camp work their magic!
