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

Apologizing won't help! That button should have been taken by Umaru!! Umaru pouted angrily, and in the end, unwilling to give up, she also pulled off another button from Dongfang Bai's chest.

There's no other way, so that button that's supposedly 'true love' will just go to Kato Megumi. Anyway, it's just a legend, nothing more! Umaru isn't jealous or envious at all!

"I'm sorry, Umaru. I'll make it up to you later." Kato Megumi chuckled, then carefully wrapped the button in her handkerchief before putting it in her pocket. No one suspected that Kato Megumi had taken the button.

"Hui, when did you arrive?"

"You just walked right over here. Is it because I'm too inconspicuous that you didn't notice me, Mr. Bai?"

Kato Megumi smiled. She was no longer the inconspicuous girl she used to be. Even just walking down the street, she could attract the attention of everyone around her. The fact that such a beautiful girl said that she was inconspicuous in Dongfang Bai's eyes made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, sorry, I really didn't notice, but Hui, you walk so quietly."

"Huh? Could it be that Bai Jun doesn't have feelings for me, so...?"

"Megumi has always been in my heart!!"

The two of them said something that made Doma Umaru, who was standing to the side, look unhappy. She took a deep breath and suddenly spoke up.

"Seriously, brother! Aren't you supposed to be going to the graduation performance with the Light Music Club?" Doma Umaru puffed out his cheeks. He'd been watching Higashikata and Kato Megumi show off their affection for a while now, but for some reason, he was particularly annoyed today.

"Oh no, I almost forgot, Wei and the others shouldn't have started yet..." Dongfang Bai's expression changed, because he had been chased by a group of junior girls and almost forgot about this extremely important matter.

……

"Alright, we're almost done moving. Has Bai Sang not arrived yet?" Ritsu Tainaka carried her drum set onto a pile of tables. They put all the chairs in the classroom together to form a makeshift stage.

"I think I just saw Senior White downstairs." Nakano Azusa raised her head slightly, as if recalling something, then lowered her head again to slowly ponder.

"Hey, they're here." Kotobuki Tsumugi watched as Dongfang Bai strode quickly toward them from not far away. The girls exchanged glances, then climbed onto the table together and stood on the makeshift stage.

Of course, aside from Hirasawa Yui, she almost fell while climbing up, but fortunately Akiyama Mio pulled her up in time.

"Wow, so many people..." Dongfang Bai, who had rushed over, couldn't help but twitch as he looked at the three circles inside and three circles outside the classroom. There were so many people, and he could even recognize many familiar voices.

0 ····Requesting flowers···· ·········

Especially those two blond guys in the crowd, Eriri and Gabriel, don't they usually rarely come to watch his performances? Why are they both here today?

What Dongfang Bai didn't know was that Eriri had come every time, but she always disguised herself very thoroughly, not even revealing a single strand of hair. Gabriel, on the other hand, was coming for the first time. Because of her height, she couldn't see the stage in front of her at all, so Raphiel had to half-carry her...

"Sorry I'm late, where's my guitar?"

. ........ ...

"It's already up there." Dongfang Bai glanced at his guitar on the stage, but this stage was just too strange. It was literally made of desks pieced together. He even wondered if it would collapse if he moved too much...

Probably not.

"Ahem, hello everyone, we are the Light Music Club~!" Hirasawa Yui confidently introduced herself, holding the microphone.

"Idiot... We're almost graduating, who here doesn't know us?" Ritsu Tainaka rolled her eyes, sitting in front of her drum set and said with a helpless smile.

“Nana, start.”

"Because we're worried the principal will come over later~ Although Sawa-chan has tried her best to keep it from us, let's finish singing as soon as possible." Akiyama Mio said softly to Dongfang Bai beside her.

Sawa, you've worked hard.

Dongfang Bai could almost imagine that Yamanaka Sawako was doing her best to cover up what was going on above them, so they had to do their best too and not let her efforts go to waste.

"The first song is 'NO, Thank You!'!" Yui Hirasawa shouted.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The familiar sound of drumsticks striking the strings rang out, and the music from all sides blended together almost instantly, without any excess or omission, a truly perfect blend.

Never give up the power to pursue your dreams.

Akiyama Mio's face was full of smiles. She wasn't nervous at all during this performance. She sang with complete freedom. Having already experienced the Budokan performance, she was no longer the Mio who would get nervous for every performance.

The group of students, standing on the propped-up desks, smiled at each other, their instruments seemingly becoming an extension of themselves. They performed freely and spontaneously, without needing any extra techniques, relying solely on their own sense of joy to play.

まだちょっと… Longsightedness したいの

It's still too early for us to do this now.

This concert wasn't a formal concert, but the people on stage performed as if it were a Budokan show, freely expressing their emotions and playing their instruments with abandon.

"Damn it, you guys..."

A middle-aged teacher, who looked no younger than himself, was trying his best to rush into the classroom. Why "trying his best"? Because at that very moment, Sawako Yamanaka was also trying her best to drag him along...

Unfortunately, the classroom was packed with people, three or four layers deep, making it impossible to squeeze in. Almost half of the college had come over. The stage in the very center of the classroom was still playing music.

"Teacher~"

Sawako Yamanaka was still dragging the middle-aged teacher in front of her when she suddenly noticed that the teacher had stopped. The middle-aged teacher was Sawako's former homeroom teacher. Several years ago in high school, he had tried to interrupt the previous generation's light music club concert.

"Well, forget it."

The middle-aged teacher looked at the classroom that was packed with people and finally sighed helplessly. She decided not to disturb the performance. Besides, the children inside were much cuter than Xiao Zuo and the others back then.

The middle-aged teacher couldn't help but twitch his lips at the thought of that heavy metal that resonated throughout Toyosaki years ago.

"Thank you, teacher." Sawako Yamanaka smiled gently, then looked at the members of the Light Music Club in the crowd, her smile widening.

Finally, this simple and unpretentious concert slowly came to an end amidst shouts of 'K-ON'.

……

"Sorry, Megumi, why don't you go ahead with Eriri and Ruri? I have something important to do." After the concert, Dongfang Bai said apologetically to Kato Megumi beside him while holding his guitar.

"I understand." Kato Megumi simply smiled, neither asking what he was going to do nor hindering his actions or thoughts. This made Dongfang Bai once again sigh in his heart at Megumi's saintly demeanor.

"Let's go then." Dongfang Bai looked at the girls beside him. After the concert ended, they seemed to still be immersed in the afterglow. It was only after he reminded them that he pulled them out of it.

"Sorry, you guys go to the activity room first, I'll go to the classroom to get my bag..." Nakano Azusa was just about to go back to the activity room with the other members of the light music club when she suddenly remembered that she had left her bag in the classroom. She frowned slightly, apologized to them, and quickly ran in the opposite direction.

"It's okay, Azusa. We can go upstairs and get ready first." Ritsu Tainaka grinned and made a peace sign at the group. They had been preparing for the surprise for Azusa for a very long time.

Kotobuki Tsumugi and Hikaru Higashi composed the music, and the five of them combined their own lyrics with the song they had been secretly practicing without Azusa Nakano's knowledge, making it the perfect gift.

"Wei, you haven't forgotten the lyrics, have you? You're in charge of the opening later." Dongfang Bai gently nodded to Hirasawa Wei's forehead. It would be a big problem if this kid messed up later.

"Don't underestimate me, Shiro-chan! I've memorized the lyrics perfectly, and besides, aren't we all singing together later?" Hirasawa Yui raised her head slightly, a little dissatisfied. She had been practicing very hard for today.

"You misspoke. It's one line per person, but a chorus is when everyone sings together. Look at you, you just said you hadn't forgotten, and now you've already forgotten." Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes and couldn't help but complain.

"Ah, everyone look! The rooftop is open!" Kotobuki Tsumugi's eyes lit up, and her playful nature suddenly surged. The rooftop, which was usually closed, was open today for some unknown reason.

"That's true."

Dongfang Bai also showed a hint of surprise. He remembered that in the first year, he had to find a way to pick the lock every time he came up to eat alone. He didn't expect that there would be no lock today.

"Wow~" Hirasawa Yui carefully put down her guitar and bag, then ran and jumped around on the rooftop like a child. Several girls seemed to be infected by her joy and couldn't help but run over to play with her.

Even Mio, who is usually very serious and earnest, is now acting like a child, playing and joking around with them.

Dongfang Bai stood quietly to the side with a helpless smile, hoping that they wouldn't go too far and accidentally fall down.

However, this is also part of their unique and adorable charm.

"What should I do, Shiro-chan? Azusa-nyan is coming up soon, but I'm so nervous..." Hirasawa Yui was exhausted from running and was panting heavily. She had never felt so nervous before.

Even during her last performance at the Budokan, she wasn't that nervous. This time, however, she was terrified that the performance wouldn't go smoothly, even though there was only one audience member.

"Me too! My hands are so cold!" Kotobuki Tsumugi had a scarf tied around her neck, and her two small hands were sticking out of the air. Akiyama Mio reached out and grabbed her hands. They were icy cold and smooth to the touch, which made her laugh out loud.

"I'm so nervous too..." Akiyama Mio slowly spoke up. None of the people here were not nervous, because the song they created together and the gift they had prepared for so long were finally going to be officially given to Azusa today.

"Will Azusa-nyan like this gift?" Hirasawa Yui asked somewhat uncertainly.

“I think Azusa would be happier if we just gave Bai Sang to her directly, haha~” Ritsu Tainaka said in a carefree manner. Mio Akiyama’s ears turned a little red, and she and Dongfang Bai exchanged a glance before both of them shyly looked away.

"Seriously, Mio, what's wrong with you two? You were kissing like crazy last time, but now you're getting shy just by looking at each other?"
