Let's do it again, Yukino.

He was standing on the rooftop, looking down over the entire Soubu High School, when a girl with brown hair quietly patted him on the shoulder from behind.

"Hey, wanna go, Xiaoqi?"

Having somehow found his Yuihama, he asked with an expectant and eager expression.

Just fifteen minutes ago, Yui's best friend, Yumiko, stormed out of the classroom through the back door, looking furious and muttering curses, as if she were about to settle a score with someone.

And just now, she also learned about the performance organized by Kasuga-kun's class this time from the flyer from Group B.

Although she was still somewhat surprised when she heard it was a solo concert,

No, it should be quite obvious.

After all, that person is Kasuga Gian, and since he's Gian, how can he be separated from concerts?

Hachiman, of course, also knew about Kasuga's upcoming concert.

It's more accurate to say that he learned about this matter passively.

After all, his sister had received an invitation from this young master Kasuga via email several days ago. Just an hour ago, after Komachi met up with him, she excitedly headed towards the gymnasium to find that guy Kasuga.

Honestly, which is more important, my own brother or that so-called "Brother Qing"?!

I was here first, so why does my sister like to stick to that kind of guy?

Thinking about this, Hachiman felt a little frustrated and glanced at Yuihama.

"Are you going too?"

Yui looked at the ground with some difficulty, touched the hem of her clothes with her small hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said.

"Yumiko just told me to come to the gymnasium to find her in a while."

If possible, Yuigahama Girls doesn't really want to participate. Although she has never heard Kasuga-kun's voice, just thinking about Kasuga's usual behavior, she thinks it will be similar to the scene in the anime.

One by one, they fell into pools of blood, lying on the ground, writing their feelings about the concert in blood.

Yuihama wanted to talk to Yuki, but when she went to the Service Club, she couldn't find her.

How about buying some earplugs as a backup?

“Go ahead, after all, my little sister Komachi is going too. I can’t just stand by and watch my sister head towards hell.”

Exhale.

With a wave of her hand, Chunri left the rooftop railing and headed towards the rooftop exit.

Their steps were steady yet ruthless, as if facing a formidable enemy, yet they had no choice but to go.

To Yuihama behind him, that silhouette carried a strangely heavy emotion.

"Wait for me, Little Enterprise."

Even if it's hell, I, Hachiman Hikigaya, will never regret it for my sister.

……

…………

"Ah! Ahh!"

In the stadium,

Springtime, who was preparing in the makeshift backstage area, sneezed several times in a row.

In front of the stage, people from Soubu High School and many others continued to arrive.

Although most of them were not there voluntarily, and some were even coaxed and tricked by their classmates, the rest were just people who came to watch the fun because it was a cultural festival.

"Calm down."

Listening to the surging crowd in front of the dark curtain, Chunri touched her heart and let out a soft sigh of relief.

Whether it's a past life or this life,

This was the first time he had ever performed in front of so many people.

"Aaaaaah... I don't want this kind of ending! If any of my friends see this, it might become the darkest chapter in my life! Aaaaah!! Please, please, please, no one I know should come over! Please!!"

Little Lion, a member of the Golden Legend band, was vigorously swinging his two tied-up golden ponytails, which seemed to whip across Chunri's face like whips.

"Since we're here, let's make the best of it. Who knows, we might even become famous because of this. Actually, being a guitarist is more fun than being an artist. By the way, did you remember the sheet music I sent you a few days ago?"

Chunri ignored the negligible pain and patted the girl's shoulder reassuringly.

"It's all your fault. Otherwise, my mom wouldn't have asked me to come and help you. You've embarrassed yourself at other schools. It wouldn't be good if others misunderstood you."

"Hey, hey, consider it a favor I owe you, so you don't have to look so gloomy anymore."

"Tch... a favor... well, let's leave it at that for now."

Finally, after being soothed by the spring breeze, the little lion pouted, picked up his guitar, and went to a corner to tune it, temporarily suppressing his dissatisfaction with the boy.

Well, what Haruhi said is actually true. If she hadn't wanted to help him, she probably wouldn't have come all the way to another school today.

She even changed into the performance outfit her mother had prepared for her concert in advance: a tight-fitting and gorgeous blue and white dress, revealing her willow-like waist to everyone's eyes, and a white short skirt that covered her beautiful legs.

If the little lion weren't dressed so sloppily, she would actually be quite a beautiful woman.

"Young Master Qing, why don't you have some water and relax?"

Ai, the drummer of the band, didn't complain about Haruhi's instructions. Seeing her young master's worried expression, she handed Haruhi a bottle of mineral water.

Whether it was intentional or not, Xiao Ai was still wearing a black and white maid outfit today.

"Where did you find these two girls from other schools? And why is this one dressed like that?"

Bassist Yumiko frowned slightly as she looked at the two beautiful girls surrounded by spring sunshine.

Without thinking, she walked up to Chunri and whispered suspiciously in his ear.

"Aren't you already that person's boyfriend? Or are you some kind of womanizing scumbag who juggles multiple relationships at once?"

His voice was rather loud, and it even reached the ears of the two women next to him.

The little lion raised the corners of her sharp eyes: "Huh? Playing the field? Don't get me wrong, how could I possibly be interested in such a rude and uncouth guy who already has a lover? I only came to Zongwu High to help him because of my mother's arrangement, nothing more..."

Hayasaka stood behind Haruhi, bowed slightly to the other two and shook her head: "As for me, I am just Young Master Haru's maid. Whatever Young Master tells me to do, I will do. Moreover, I know that Young Master has a lover."

Kasuga: "..."

Despite being three blonde girls with completely different personalities, they get along remarkably well.

Moreover, these three girls are among the few who know about the relationship between Haruhi and Yukinoshita.

Time slipped away quietly as the group chatted idly.

……

I don't know how much time passed.

"It's about to start, Kasuga-kun."

In the front row of Haruhi, the girl Nagato Yuki, who works behind the scenes, also steps from the front stage to the back, reminding Haruhi and the others.

"The seats are full so quickly? I remember there were nearly four hundred seats."

Haruhi turned her gaze to the front of the stage, and just as Nagato had said,

The stadium was already full of people.

"I didn't expect that someone as wicked as you would be quite popular at your school?"

The little lion also exclaimed in surprise.

"No normal person would want that kind of popularity. Tch, anyway, if things go wrong, it'll all be Kasuga's fault."

Knowing the reason behind it all, Yumiko was now ready to go all out. She got up from her seat, hugged her bass guitar, and walked over to Haruhi's side.

After the incident in Chiba Village, she stopped treating Haruhi Kasuga with the prejudice she used to have.

……

…………

The gymnasium couldn't be dominated by a single class all the time, and the student council was urging Kasuga and his group to hurry up.

Asakura smiled and clapped his hands at the spring sun.

"Well then, I'll have to leave the rest to you, Kasuga-kun."

"call----"

The music quietly began the moment the boy behind the curtain took a deep breath.

The stadium's originally bright lights suddenly dimmed.

Haruhi picked up the silver microphone that Nagato had given her and took the lead on the steps leading forward.

"It's starting! Little Lion, Yumiko, and Ai, put aside your unhappiness and have a happy concert. I believe this concert will definitely surprise everyone."

The three women behind her exchanged glances, none of them understanding the emotions contained in each other's eyes. All their words turned into faint, silent smiles as they followed behind Chunri.

The white light shone on Chunri, who had already walked to the front of the stage.

this moment,

The concert has officially begun.

……

…………

"Wow, there are so many people here, even though it hasn't really started yet."

When Hachiman Hikigaya and Yuihama squeezed through the crowd and successfully reunited with his sister Komachi Hikigaya, they discovered that there were no seats left in the stadium.

The area was crowded with boys and girls from different grades and classes, and even some people from Zongwu High School. They all stared at the empty stage with curious and confused eyes, and were talking amongst themselves.

"I heard that this is a concert by a real girl group."

"Yeah, I heard about it too. Apparently, it's a band made up of the prettiest girls from each class at Soubu High School, who became idol girls so that Soubu High School wouldn't be shut down in the future."

"That can't be right. I heard from my senior that they are a group of beautiful girls carefully selected from various high schools in Chiba, not just Soubu High School."

"Wow, that's amazing! This year's cultural festival feels much more sincere than in previous years. President Shiromai is so considerate of us juniors."
