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

"Then I'll be going now. You two enjoy your shopping!"

Raphiel waved and then carried that silly red-haired little devil away, leaving so fast it was hard to describe, as if she was afraid Dongfang Bai would come looking for Satania.

"They've left."

"They've left."

Dongfang Bai and Gabriel chatted back and forth, neither of them knowing what Raphiel, who had just run away, was thinking.

The official performance is just around the corner. After the previous performance, it will be the light music club's turn to perform, so the members of the light music club need to move their instruments and equipment to the performance hall first.

"Bai Sang, are you alright?"

Tainaka Ritsu stared at Dongfang Bai with her mouth slightly agape. How could this guy, even if he was a boy, be so strong? He actually carried the entire drum set over by himself. She knew better than anyone how heavy the drum set was.

Even the lightest drum set usually weighs around 15 kilograms, while the one Dongfang Bai had must have weighed around 30 kilograms. It's amazing how easily he lifted it...

"fine."

Dongfang Bai smiled. If he didn't only have two hands, he would have liked to carry some other things as well. After all, he was the only boy in the entire Light Music Club, so he naturally had to do more physical work.

Moreover...

"Wei, are you alright?"

At this moment, Dongfang Bai glanced at Ping Zewei next to him. She was struggling to lift a speaker with both hands. The speaker weighed no more than ten pounds. He didn't expect her to be struggling so much.

"It's okay! There's absolutely no problem!"

Hirasawa Yui swayed as she carried the speaker, looking as if she was about to fall at any moment. It was really worrying that she might accidentally fall. At this moment, Dongfang Bai spoke up.

"Wei, why don't you leave it and I'll carry it? It's really a bit difficult for a girl to carry this."

Dongfang Bai originally wanted Hirasawa Yui, the mascot of the Light Music Club, to sit quietly while he carried the speakers, but he suddenly saw Kotobuki Tsumugi walking past him with a smile, carrying a speaker in each hand.

I take back what I said about it being a bit difficult for a girl to move this.

"Is Tsumugi really that strong?"

While carrying the drum set, Dongfang Bai asked Akiyama Mio a question. Her expression was quite subtle because she had never expected that Kotobuki Tsumugi, who looked like a noble lady, could carry a speaker in one hand.

The saying "you can't judge a book by its cover" is indeed true.

……

"Is everyone ready?"

Dongfang Bai, holding an electric guitar, was already standing next to the group, while Hirasawa Yui was standing at the very front. She was the lead singer of the first song and looked a little nervous, constantly drawing the character '人' on her hand and then swallowing it.

I've heard that this can relieve tension.

"Ugh, I'm so nervous..."

Akiyama Mio's eyes were brimming with tears; she was still a little nervous performing in front of so many classmates. Dongfang Bai stretched out one hand, palm down, and hovered in the air. Although he didn't say anything, everyone understood what he meant.

"Now is the time to show that our practice has paid off!"

Ritsu Tainaka clenched his fist, looking serious. It was clear that everyone was very excited and had practiced many times for today.

"This is our first school performance, let's do our best!"

"Seriously, Bai Sang is so cunning! It should have been me, the club president, who said it!"

Tainaka Ritsu noticed that his limelight had been stolen and pouted, but it was just a casual remark. One by one, everyone placed their hands on Dongfang Bai's hands.

"Go, Light Music Club!!"

The crowd laughed and shouted, and the tension basically disappeared. They stood on the stage in the center of the hall, waiting for the curtain to slowly rise.

rustle……

As the curtain began to rise, the faces of the audience gradually came into view. The hall was quite large, and the seats below were filled with audience members, many of whom were looking up with great anticipation.

The applause was deafening. The audience applauded for the Light Music Club's performance, and the Light Music Club reciprocated by giving them a wonderful performance.

At least at this moment, they are the center of attention, the most dazzling presence.

Some of the audience members below were whispering and discussing the people on stage: the handsome Dongfang Bai on the left, the cute and beautiful Qiushan Mio on the right, and Hirasawa Yui in the middle.

Now, Dongfang Bai and Qiushan Mio are standing guard on both sides like protectors, and some people in the audience have already started to light up.

"One, two, there...!"

At this moment, the prelude to the music began, and the catchy rhythm entered the audience's ears. The notes seemed to dance in the air, and the music made people unable to stop shaking to the rhythm.

but……

Hirasawa Yui suddenly stopped singing as soon as she was about to start. She had completely forgotten the lyrics. Dongfang Bai was stunned when he saw her blank expression. This girl... no way?

キミを见てると

[Every time I see you]

At that very moment, Akiyama Mio started singing to fill the gap. Fortunately, Akiyama Mio reacted quickly enough that the audience didn't have time to catch up.

Hirasawa Yui gave Akiyama Mio a grateful look before speaking again.

いつもハートdokidoki.

My heart is always pounding.

Looking at your profile as you try so hard...

The lyrics for this song were written by Mio Akiyama, while the song itself was composed by everyone. At the same time, Hikaru Dongfang also "borrowed" a piece from the 'Light Music Club' from his previous life.

"That guy's pretty impressive..."

Meanwhile, in a corner of the audience, Yamada Elf with long golden hair looked at Dongfang Bai on the stage in surprise. He had his eyes closed and was completely absorbed in his performance. He looked very handsome with his serious expression.

Yamada Elf stared in disbelief as he plucked the guitar strings with his dancing fingers. Ruri Gokou, who was beside her, was also staring blankly at the ceiling.

Hundreds of audience members sat in the hall, and there were always some familiar faces among them. Gabriel, who looked sleepy in the back, kept her eyes on the stage and Eriri, who was sneaking over wearing a hat.

This small performance hall was packed with people, and all eyes were now on the stage, where the girls seemed to radiate a dazzling light.

Time flew by, and the audience was completely immersed in the performance of the Light Music Club. The voices of lead vocalist Yui Hirasawa and sub-vocalist Mio Akiyama resonated throughout the hall.

Soon, the last song arrived.

"Next up is our light music club's last song, 'Bluebird'! We hope you enjoy it!"

After Hirasawa Yui happily shouted, she generously stepped aside. Dongfang Bai smiled slightly and walked from the left to the center. As the last person to step forward, he naturally attracted a lot of attention.

If you don't sing well, you'll be incredibly embarrassed.

"Huh? Chou Bai is the lead singer?!"

Yamada Fairy was slightly taken aback. She thought Dongfang Bai would always stand on the left and play the guitar, but she didn't expect that he would inexplicably walk to the center during the last song.

"I don't know, I had no idea that Senior Dongfang knew music..."

Ruri Gokou shook her head. She only knew that Dongfang Bai could write light novels and also had some painting skills, but she really didn't know that he could play music. Did Dongfang Bai have so many hidden skills?

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"That guy can sing?!"

Eriri, whose long golden hair was tied into twin ponytails, opened her mouth slightly. Her canine teeth were clearly visible even in the darkness. Eriri was extremely surprised; she had no idea that Dongfang Bai could sing.

When he was a child, he didn't have any special skills when he played with Dongfang Bai. How come he's become proficient in writing novels, painting, and music after just a few years?

"As his childhood sweetheart, how could you not even know this much? You must be an imposter."

Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, glancing at Eriri beside her. Eriri, upon hearing this, immediately became furious and stomped her foot angrily, saying, "You talk as if you know him so well, but you don't know anything either!!"

"That's true. After all, I'm not a fake childhood sweetheart, so it's only natural that I don't know."

Kasumigaoka Utaha waved her hand dismissively, her expression extremely sarcastic, which nearly made Eriri furious. However, she could only grit her teeth and couldn't refute anything.

Would you like some juice?

A bob-haired girl emerged from a dark corner and offered juice to the two girls, Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, who accepted it without hesitation.

"Hui, I really appreciate you bringing me juice, but it's a little scary that you always suddenly appear out of nowhere..."

Eriri, holding a bottle of orange juice, sighed softly. There was clearly no one here just now, so why does Kato Megumi always seem to suddenly appear from all sorts of strange places?
