Green plums cannot become lovers.

But then, that small figure reappeared before them, standing in the doorway with outstretched arms to keep the group of bad guys out.

The group of people dragged the boy out while cursing, but they didn't take him far; they just stayed a short distance from the clinic entrance.

Later, the group of men left, while the boy stood in the wind and snow for a long time before returning.

The first thing he did upon returning home was not to run into his father's arms and cry, but to bow and apologize to the doctor at the clinic.

However, after looking at himself again, he apologized to himself.

"Sorry, I scared you just now. [Immortal Seal Silk (Five?)] [Jiu Zi] [Pull]"

"But I've already chased them away, so you don't need to be afraid."

The boy forced a smile as he looked at her.

Indeed, she was quite frightened that day.

But when she saw the boy spreading his arms to block the door, her fear seemed to dissipate.

Although their club now has four members, only three of them are actually musically talented. Ai is the lead singer, Miyazono is the violinist, and he is temporarily playing guitar.

The only instrument that Anna Hanami knows how to play is the recorder. This lineup is fine for ordinary club activities, but it's not quite there yet when it comes to performing on stage.

"Xingcai, what musical instrument do you want to learn?"

"Bass".

"Bass? Aren't you going to learn guitar?"

An and Asuka were somewhat surprised by the girl's answer. They had thought she would choose the guitar, since it suited her personality well.

"Oh, because I'm a beginner, I'm sure I won't learn it well." Anna Hanami said, "But I heard that no one cares if you play the bass wrong on stage, so I'm going to learn the bass so that no one will notice if I make a mistake."

"Well, you've really got a good plan."

An and Asuka were both amused and exasperated by what they heard, but since the girl wanted to learn bass, they would definitely do their best to support her.

"Then you can learn bass. From now on, you'll be our light music club's blue-haired bassist. As for the bass, leave it to me."

"it is good!"

"Hanami Anna answered excitedly."

"Even so, we're still missing a drummer, aren't we?"

Kaori Miyazono's voice rang out from the side. She looked at An and Asuka with a smile, wanting to see what he would do.

"Well, that depends on whether any new students join."

There's nothing he can do about the lack of people. Xiao Ai needs to sing and dance, so she can't learn guitar and become a guitarist and vocalist anymore. Otherwise, he could be a drummer.

"But speaking of which, no one joined today."

"Yes, it's really strange."

Kaori Miyazono suppressed a laugh; she wouldn't tell anyone that the posters on the bulletin board had been covered up by other clubs, with only his name showing.

"We should definitely take the initiative to promote it."

After thinking for a moment, An and Asuka voiced their thoughts. Since the posters weren't working, they would take the initiative to go out and promote the product to people.

“Okay.” Kaori Miyazono immediately agreed.

Where is Xiao Ai?

An and Asuka then looked at Hoshino Ai, who was standing to the side, and the girl immediately agreed.

"I'll listen to Asuka!"

"Wait for me a moment, I'll go ask the teacher to request a venue."

"Why do we need to apply for a venue?" Bana asked Anza, puzzled. "Isn't it just handing out flyers? We shouldn't need to apply for a venue, right?"

"If we're going to promote ourselves, we definitely want to show everyone our best side," An and Asuka laughed. "And music is our strength. I think if people can appreciate it, they'll want to join us."

If you're referring to simple flyer advertising, the effect certainly won't be much better than posting posters on bulletin boards.

So instead of having them search for members one by one, it's better to let everyone take the initiative to find them.

“Anhe is right, we need to use the unique features of the Light Music Club for promotion.”

"Okay, then."

When Hana heard this, she nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone agreed, An and Asuka left the office without further hesitation.

He returned shortly afterward.

"The application has been approved."

"So fast?"

Even Kaori Miyazono was somewhat surprised by his efficiency. Logically speaking, the school should have considered it, since they were only first-year students.

"It's alright." An and Asuka said, holding the venue application approval form, "It'll be in the school courtyard tomorrow afternoon, everyone please bring your instruments."

"As for apricot kernels, let's use triangular iron."

At noon, the four of them gathered again in the club activity room and began their first joint performance.

It has to be said that Kaori Miyazono's skills are indeed very impressive; if we were to calculate it in terms of skill level, she would be close to level five.

"How about it?"

After the performance, the girl happily asked them questions.

"Very good, even better than me."

An and Asuka praised her generously, Hoshino Ai looked at her with admiration, and Anna clapped her hands on the side.

It was only then that she realized that the person in front of her had won first, second, and third place in that fierce competition, and now they had actually formed a band in the same club.

Isn't this a bit too powerful? Among the newly established clubs, their club must be the most powerful one, right?

If they were to perform outside, they'd probably attract a lot of people eager to join their club. That would be a bit of a problem, since their light music club doesn't need that many people.

"It will definitely attract a lot of people."

"Yes, we need to be careful in our selection."

"It would be great if someone could play a musical instrument."

An and Asuka were also full of confidence at this moment. They felt that as long as they put on a performance, all difficulties would disappear.

The future looks incredibly bright!

After school in the afternoon, most students did not leave the school but participated in club activities.

The school's courtyard is beautiful, planted with various flowers and green plants, so even if it's not a venue for club activities, it still attracts many students to come here for sightseeing and relaxation.

The boys' playful chasing, the girls' laughter and frolicking, and some students engaged in club activities... the afternoon after school at the end of May was still a vibrant and thriving scene.

An, Asuka, and the other three stood on the lawn in the center of the courtyard, took out their instruments, exchanged glances, and began their performance without saying a word.

Beautiful music suddenly echoed throughout the area, reaching the ears of the students who were playing and laughing, causing them to look up involuntarily at the source of the sound.

On the central lawn, three people were playing music.

Judging from the intro, it should be one of the most popular pop songs right now, and the musician played it quite well.

But when the girl standing at the front picked up the microphone and started singing, everyone was once again awestruck.

The lively sounds of the violin and guitar, combined with the girl's energetic singing, perfectly brought the music to life.

The music filled this small space, lingering in everyone's ears. The fragrance of flowers carried by the breeze seemed to carry the sweet scent of the song, drawing some people into its embrace without them even realizing it.

Meanwhile, An and Asuka were playing with great enthusiasm. They looked at each other and smiled.

As everyone gradually gathered around, Anja was handing out flyers to promote the event, and the students all showed expressions of interest.

It feels like it's a success! (The last part is a series of seemingly random characters and doesn't translate directly.)

Seeing this, the three exchanged a glance and then put on their best performance once again.

Very well, let us immerse ourselves in their beautiful singing.

"it is good!"

When the song ended, everyone applauded and cheered.

"why?"

An and Asuka looked at the wide-open door and the empty entrance, feeling somewhat weary.

Two days have passed since that performance in the atrium, but their club still hasn't had a single new member.

Is it because their performance was so bad that it failed to attract any audience?

The idea was immediately dismissed by An and Asuka. Their performance couldn't be bad. Whether it was him, Ai, or Miyazono, they all gave a perfect performance. Even Anja made good use of her eloquence to introduce the characters.

"Yeah, that's really strange."

Kaori Miyazono had the same question. Logically speaking, since they had all behaved so well, someone should have come.

Even if you don't want to join, at least come and take a look.

"It's a bit embarrassing to say this out loud. The first, second, and third place winners of the arts competition all put in their best efforts, but they still couldn't attract a single new member to join the club."

"I find it a bit funny," said Hanami, who was lying on the table.

“It is indeed somewhat puzzling.” Hoshino Ai nodded in complete agreement.

An and Asuka stared at the doorway, deep in thought. After a while, he came up with a possibility.

So he said somewhat uncertainly, "Could it be that it's not that our performance was too bad, but that our performance was too good, which is why no one came?"

"what?"

The girls were taken aback by what they heard, and then their eyes widened.

It seems there might actually be that possibility.

To confirm their suspicions, An and Asuka asked their classmates the next day.

And just as he expected, the students who saw their performance that day thought it was great. But when asked if they had any thoughts about joining, everyone shook their heads.

Everyone said that the atmosphere among them was so harmonious at that time, and they seemed very capable, so they didn't want to join in and become the ones who held them back.

The clear sky stretches high, carrying the aspirations of newborns; magnificent birds soar, flying towards the azure future.

The June weather had already begun to turn scorching, and the students had switched from long sleeves to short sleeves. The distant wind swept across everything, stirring the hearts of the young people.

The lunch break bell rang, and An and Asuka had just taken out their bento boxes when the girl urged them to hurry up.

"Flying Bird, hurry up."

"You're really impatient."

As An and Asuka talked, they followed behind Anna. The other three girls were already waiting at the door when they went outside. Then, the group walked towards the club together.

When they have nothing to do, everyone comes to his club to relax; it has become their base.

Although his club never managed to recruit a fifth member, it still managed to develop quite well.

A month ago, he used club activity funds to buy a bass for Anna Hanami and a second-hand drum set.

Now, their blue-haired bassist has gone from a complete novice to an apprentice just beginning to learn.

However, this girl's musical talent was rather mediocre, so she was still a bit short of being able to perform on stage.

Compared to her, Marina showed a remarkable interest in drumming and seemed to have some talent for it.

However, since she also has painting as her main profession, she only comes here to rest and relax and casually taps for a while.

"Flying Bird, how about I play the drums for you?"

Marina ate her bento and said to An and Asuka.

"What are you thinking about? Just focus on practicing your drawing and treat this as entertainment."

An and Asuka directly rejected the girl's suggestion. She didn't want the girl to be too tired, as both drawing and practicing the drums were exhausting activities.
