Chapter 134: Girls? I Understand a Little — Qingshan Li Answered Thus

The Sunny Band continued practicing.

Although it seemed a bit forced, they finally livened up, like a little turtle waking from hibernation but occasionally falling back asleep.

Qingshan Li left the club room and headed to the Student Council Room.

As the Manager, he had his own work to do.

"The Sunny Band Club wants to apply for the qualification to perform freely at appropriate occasions on campus after school, from today until the 26th." He said.

"I knew it, you wouldn't come looking for me if there wasn't anything." Miyase Yaeko withdrew her gaze from him.

The Secretary pushed up her glasses.

Qingshan Li didn't speak.

"I agreed." Miyase Yaeko said.

"Thank you."

"One more thing, tell your sister, as repayment for you selling me the copyright, as long as her grades don't drop and she performs excellently at the Cultural Festival, she can choose a recommendation slot for Tokyo University or Kyoto University."

Ono Mika relying on her own effort to study also has hope.

But being able to get a recommendation and not having to go through hellish Exam Preparation is naturally better.

There are too many accidents in Exams; physical condition, psychological problems, all affect Grades.

"Does my sister have the qualification to get it?" Qingshan Li asked.

"Kaimei is private, I have the final say, as long as your sister doesn't repeat a year in University later, there's no problem."

Students who enter University via recommendation qualifications, if they fail courses or repeat a year, will cause the High School to lose recommendation slots.

"Perform excellently at the Cultural Festival, what is the standard for excellence?" Qingshan Li pressed for details.

"I Think." Miyase Yaeko answered.

"You Think?" Qingshan Li froze for a moment, "Then what do you think counts as excellent?"

"What do you think?"

"."

"Among the parents of Kaimei High School students, there are professional musicians; the school will invite them to serve as judges for music performances. If they are satisfied with the Sunny Band's performance, that is excellence."

Quite difficult.

With the Sunny Band's current level, wanting to gain the satisfaction of professionals is much harder than Ono Mika getting into Tokyo University on her own.

But this is also an Opportunity; no matter how difficult, there is no reason to let it pass.

Qingshan Li returned to the Sunny Band Club and relayed the news that the Application passed to the girls.

He didn't mention the recommendation qualification, planning to wait until after school and tell Ono Mika alone.

"Since the Application passed, let's start performing outside tomorrow." Mikami Ai Crossed Arms, her temperament elegant.

". Mm!" Despite being afraid, the girls still nodded at month's end.

"Three days until the performance, everyone Add Oil!" Agatsuma Haruka boosted morale.

That Evening, during dinner, Qingshan Li brought up the matter of recommendation admission.

"That's way too hard!" Ono Mizuki exclaimed in surprise.

"I think," Ono Mika said as if to herself, "if it weren't hard, Miyase Yaeko would worry I wouldn't accept, right."

Most likely it is so.

Rather, Miyase Yaeko's answer wasn't gaining the musicians' approval, but 'as long as it's not performed too fake'; would Ono Mika still accept?

It's a transaction, but she would treat it as charity.

"Will you accept?" Qingshan Li asked.

"Of course I'll Try!" Ono Mika did not Refuse, "This is a qualification you spent quite a bit of money to buy!"

"And we have to work hard for the Cultural Festival anyway, right?" Ono Mizuki also said.

The matter was Decided just like that.

That night, while Ono Mika was soaking in the bath, Qingshan Li could hear her Singing.

Enjoying life.

Very good.

"Miyuki, aren't you unhappy in the Choir Club? Have you thought about quitting?" Qingshan Li Once Again showed concern for his sister's life.

"I've said quitting is troublesome." Ono Mizuki blew her hair.

The Aroma of shampoo and body wash, mixed with the girl's Aroma, kept surging into Qingshan Li's sense of smell.

Wearing pajamas, her body looked even Softer, also making one's Heartbeat race.

"Want to be with me?" Qingshan Li asked.

"Huh?" Ono Mizuki turned off the hair dryer, suspecting she had misheard.

"Simply don't join a club, like me, wandering aimlessly everywhere."

"Thirsty, pour me a cup of water." Ono Mizuki continued blowing her hair.

Qingshan Li got up to Pour Water.

Ono Mizuki joined the Choir Club to save money, but this at least proves she doesn't dislike sound-type clubs.

Sound

What clubs are related to Sound?

Does the Broadcasting Club count?

Qingshan Li thought while taking out his Mobile Phone and opening the data.

The data was still from when they were in the Athens Philosophy Research Club, organized by Mikami Ai.

Debate Club? Probably doesn't count.

The Rakugo Club probably isn't it either; the focus of that kind of club is being interesting.

The Light Music Club? Pending.

Oh? There's actually a Detective Novel Research Club; if they're holding a club activity today, they should be discussing "Detective A," right?

Wait, this isn't the time to be thinking about this messy stuff; right now I can only think about Ono Mizuki!

Voice Acting Club?

"Mizuki, how about the Voice Acting Club?" Qingshan Li returned carrying three cups of water.

"No!" Ono Mizuki refused directly, "How come one cup doesn't have ice?"

She swapped it for another cup.

"Didn't Mika get her period?" Qingshan Li said.

"."

"Why are you looking at me with the look you'd give a pervert? It's perfectly normal that I know when you two get your periods, right?"

". Brother, go get the bamboo sword."

It's already reached this degree; getting beaten and having to go fetch the tool yourself.

"Remember?" Qingshan Li took a sip of water, "When you were little, whichever of you two got her period would fight to shower last. I thought it was strange at the time, but later I gradually understood, so I remembered."

"Forget it immediately. Fine, you remembering is convenient too." Ono Mizuki muttered.

"Mizuki, tell me, which club do you really want to join?" Qingshan Li looked at her.

"So annoying."

"Please."

"I'll beat you."

"Mizuki, beautiful girl."

"Ah, can't do anything about you. Actually, I quite like acting."

Huh?

"Nothing to do with voice?" Qingshan Li asked.

"What does it have to do with voice?" Ono Mizuki looked at him strangely.

Qingshan Li finally understood why reading detective novels never worked for him.

He estimated his deductive ability was about on par with Genta from "Detective Conan" — that elementary school fat kid.

"Then go to the Drama Club." Qingshan Li said.

"I already said, quitting midway means you'll be ostracized."

"How about forging a medical record? Say you can't keep singing, especially the kind of songs the Choir Club does?"

". Brother, you don't even need to forge a medical record to look sick." Ono Mizuki glanced at him.

"I'll talk to Kuze Oto-sensei; we go way back." Qingshan Li said.

Actually, it mainly relies on Miyase Yaeko.

"You're so annoying!" Ono Mizuki said impatiently.

This means: 【You go try; if it works, she'll reluctantly agree; if it fails, it's "I told you not to"】.

Qingshan Li's understanding of the Ono Sisters isn't limited to just periods!

Drama Club.

During the three-person study session, Qingshan Li used going to the toilet as an excuse to message Mikami Ai from the bathroom.

【Qingshan Li: How's the Drama Club?】

The time it takes to take a piss passed.

Is she in the shower? Or studying? Could she already be asleep?

Wait—

【Qingshan Li: Good evening, Mikami Classmate.】

【Mikami Ai: Good evening, Classmate Aoyama.】

Instant reply!

Someone who can say "dog training," they're most likely an expert at it themselves!

—Qingshan, be careful of Mikami Ai!

【Qingshan Li: How's the Drama Club?】

【Mikami Ai: I didn't go either. The Seiten Band performance ended. Next week, let's go check it out together.】

【Qingshan Li: Tomorrow】

【Mikami Ai: What's it for this time? Mizuki?】

【Qingshan Li: Going?】

【Mikami Ai: You could go alone, but you insist on inviting me. Do you like me?】

Just wanted to use your identity — this line wasn't even finished typing.

【Mikami Ai: We're just friends.】

【Qingshan Li: Sure, sure, sure.】

【Mikami Ai: Then see you after school tomorrow.】

If I wasn't worried the Drama Club might have something weird going on, like messy relationships or seniors bullying juniors, Qingshan Li couldn't be bothered to look for Mikami Ai!

Living Room.

"Let's make some spinach tomorrow." Ono Mika suggested.

"Why?" Ono Mizuki asked.

"Is Ryo constipated?"
