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

"what?"

Singing about herself? Dongfang Bai didn't immediately understand what Xiaomai meant by that. It took him a long time to figure it out.

She was talking about her own experience. As the eldest son of the Dongfang family, she had no relatives by her side since childhood. Even her tenth birthday was in Japan. Her adoptive father didn't care much about her at all, which is why the old master Dongfang doted on her so much.

"Auntie left a long time ago, my brother must have been very lonely! From now on, Umaru will be by his side! He can rely on Umaru for anything."

"Aren't you still relying on me now...?"

Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes and muttered a complaint. Although he had a pretty good idea of ​​what Xiaomai had misunderstood, he didn't say anything. Since she had misunderstood, so be it.

Perhaps it was because Dongfang Bai was so deeply immersed in this song that she sang it with such sorrow, and her voice became hoarse from singing, which led to her deep misunderstanding.

"Didn't you come with Black Cat and the others? Where are they?"

"……what?!"

Doma suddenly realized that she had been so engrossed in her brother's warm embrace that she had almost forgotten that she had several friends with her.

Oh no, I actually forgot my friend because of a pretty girl!

"Oh no, brother, I have to go!!"

After realizing what was happening, Xiaomai quickly ran away, leaving only her back view for Dongfang Bai to see, which made him wave his hand helplessly.

"Honestly, so reckless."

Dongfang Bai muttered a couple of words and went upstairs. He still had to go back to the light music department. He wondered if this concert would attract any new talent, since he had sung so hard.

……

"Bai Jun, your tea."

"Thank you, Tsumugi."

Dongfang Bai took the black tea handed to him by Kotobuki 743 Tsumugi, took a sip and revealed a happy expression. As expected, high-quality tea is wonderful, and it makes him feel much less tired.

The other three didn't come for tea; instead, they squatted at the entrance of the Light Music Club, eyeing the outside world menacingly.

"Don't stare like that, what if you scare the newcomers away from joining the company...?"

Dongfang Bai picked up a pretty white and red small wagashi and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he spoke, but his somewhat unclear voice made Qiushan Mio unable to help but complain: "Bai-kun, you should not talk while eating, be careful not to choke."

"Ah! Someone's coming!!!"

"Really? Someone actually came."

Yui Hirasawa excitedly exclaimed, and immediately everyone in the Light Music Club couldn't help but look towards the door. The door to the Light Music Club was gently pushed open, and a petite girl slowly pushed it open. Before she could even speak, Yui Hirasawa rushed over.

"Want to join the club?! Welcome, welcome!!!"

"Ew!? Wait..."

The girl screamed in fright, but unfortunately, the soundproofing in the Light Music Club was excellent. Since she had already entered the room, no one would hear her even if she screamed her lungs out.

"Don't scare the new students away..."

As Dongfang Bai sat in his chair, sipping his black tea, he casually remarked that the women were being far too enthusiastic, and he was worried that the new members might not be able to handle it.

Suddenly, he felt that the freshman looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. Before he could think about it, the other person walked over quickly.

"Senior Dongfang! Thank you so much for your help before...!"

Nakano Azusa walked over quickly and greeted Dongfang Bai. Only then did Dongfang Bai suddenly remember where he had seen her before. It was last year, when he was a freshman who had just entered high school.

Then, while passing through an alley, I saw Nakano Azusa surrounded by several thugs. I went up and 'advised' them, and that's how I met Nakano Azusa.

"You're Nakano-kun, right?"

"That's right! Senior Dongfang, do you still remember me?!"

Nakano Azusa said with delight, she thought that a popular person like Dongfang Bai would not remember what happened a year ago, but she did not expect that the other party would still remember her name.

"Hey, Bai-chan, do you know her?"

Hirasawa Yui curiously ran over and sat opposite Dongfang Bai, asking a question. Before he could speak, Nakano Azusa said, "Yes, a year ago when I was being harassed by some thugs, it was Dongfang-senpai who happened to pass by and helped me..."

"Oh my! Isn't this a classic hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope?! Bai Sang suddenly appears, single-handedly chases away several thugs, and saves the girl!"

Ritsu Tainaka couldn't help but exclaim. She thought this kind of scene only appeared in anime and manga, but she didn't expect it to actually exist in real life. Indeed, art imitates life.

"I just happened to be passing by and helped out a little; it's not as dramatic as you think."

Dongfang Bai rolled her eyes. Actually, it was really as exaggerated as she thought. At that time, she didn't hesitate and took down several thugs by herself, and then rescued Nakano Azusa.

"Nakano, please introduce yourself first."

Only then did Dongfang Bai speak to Nakano Azusa in front of him. Azusa nodded in understanding and immediately said, "Ah, excuse me, let me introduce myself first. My name is Nakano..."

What musical instruments do you play?

What do you like to eat?

"Which school did you go to before? Maybe you were our junior!"

Nakano Azusa felt dizzy as several 'senior' girls surrounded her, asking her all sorts of questions. She couldn't answer them at all, and her mind went completely blank.

"Alright, everyone calm down."

Even Akiyama Mio couldn't stand it anymore and came over to pull the three enthusiastic people away, which made Nakano Azusa breathe a sigh of relief.

"Um, I'm Nakano Azusa from Class C, Year 1. I can play the guitar a bit..."

"A guitar?!"

When Yui Hirasawa heard the guitar, she got excited. Another member who could play the guitar had joined the Light Music Club, which meant that the club now had three guitarists.

"That means our light music club will have three guitarists, is that alright?!"

Ritsu Tainaka asked with a surprised expression, and at that moment, Dongfang Bai asked, "Nakano, are you a soprano guitarist?"

"Yes...! How did Senior Dongfang figure that out?"

Nakano Azusa's eyes widened. She hadn't brought her guitar with her, nor had she ever played it in front of Dongfang Bai. So how did he know she was a high-pitched guitarist all of a sudden?

"Well... I'm just guessing."

Dongfang Bai scratched his cheek. He couldn't very well say that he recognized her directly from his memory of the 'Light Music Club'.

"That makes things easier. Wei and Bai each have their own lead vocals and rhythm, and they switch roles occasionally. We're still missing a detail..."

In layman's terms, two guitarists are enough for a band. Three guitarists would obviously be a bit awkward, but in actual performances, you'll find that having an extra guitar can actually make the performance better.

Moreover, Azusa Nakano plays the high-pitched guitar, which is quite rare.

For example, when playing a melody, you might occasionally add some arpeggios, or add some details to the main melody. In short, in many scenarios that seem like two guitars would be enough, you might actually need an extra guitar.

"In that case, Nakano, you can take care of the rhythm I was playing before, and I'll play the details."

"Oh no, this won't do!!"

Nakano Azusa's mouth dropped open in shock, and she hurriedly shook her head in refusal. She had just played the lead guitar for the last song of the freshman welcome party, "Dongfang Bai," and his playing had truly amazed her.

Why would someone with such superb skills play the most insignificant details?

"No, no! I'm just a beginner, I only know a little bit, I'm completely incapable! Neither Higashi-senpai nor Hirasawa-senpai should play the details..."

Nakano Azusa shook her little head like a rattle-drum. She greatly admired Hirasawa Yui and Dongfang Bai's performance. She would feel guilty if one of them had to play the details.

"Then Nakano, why don't you try playing a piece?"

Dongfang Bai smiled dismissively, then handed his guitar 'Red Moon' to Nakano Azusa, who accepted it with a flattered expression and held it carefully.

She could tell from the first touch that it was a very high-quality guitar.

"Hehe, call me senior~ No problem, let's play a bit. If there's anything you don't understand, I'll teach you!"

Hirasawa Yui was still secretly delighted; it was the first time she had ever been called 'senpai', and it felt really good.

"Okay... (Zhao, okay)... Alright, Liang."

Nakano Azusa took a deep breath and, under the watchful eyes of the Light Music Club members, performed a piece of electronic music with a fantastic rhythm. Everyone immediately recognized her talent; it was truly impressive.

Despite her petite frame, she possesses immense strength; her abilities even surpass those of Yui Hirasawa, making her a formidable lead guitarist.

"what……"

Dongfang Bai glanced at Hirasawa Yui beside her, who froze on the spot, staring blankly at Nakano Azusa.

He must have been really hit hard...

"So shiny and dazzling..."

Akiyama Mio squinted at Nakano Azusa and couldn't help but sigh. Everyone knew how strong Hirasawa Yui's talent was, but this girl in front of her was actually stronger than Hirasawa Yui.

Perhaps it's because I started learning guitar very early that I have such solid skills now?

clap clap...

Dongfang Bai smiled and clapped, which made Nakano Azusa lower her head shyly. She thought she should have played pretty well, since even Dongfang Bai-senpai was clapping. She slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"That way you can play rhythm guitar."

"But……"

Before Nakano Azusa could finish speaking, Dongfang Bai blinked and said, "Don't worry, there's a reason why I play the details. Others may just be adding icing on the cake for the band, but I'm different."

"That's right...! Bai Jun can play any part..."

At this moment, Akiyama Mio suddenly realized and said, "Dongfang Bai is better than everyone else at playing the guitar, but he chose to play the details. It's because he's so good that he chose this position."
