Chapter 67: Qingshan Li's Decision

Ono Mika decided to join the Sunny Band Club.

Agatsuma Haruka shouted: "Let's perform at the Budokan together!"

Drummer Mumi: "Total record sales surpass 'Arashi'!"

Bassist Sakurako: "First album sales surpass 'Hikaru Utada'!"

F·Rino: "Rise speed surpasses 'Hige Dan'!"

The four looked at Ono Mika.

"Uh——" Ono Mika thought for a moment, "Let's not disband the club for now!"

"That makes sense."

"This is very important."

"If the club is disbanded, there will be no place to practice, and no way to apply for the Cultural Festival; if we can't apply for the Cultural Festival, there will be no place to perform."

"Lack of funding is also a big problem; costumes, microphones, equipment maintenance all need money."

"Ono-san, you really consider things thoroughly!" Agatsuma Haruka praised Ono Mika.

Ono Mika looked at Qingshan Li, she felt a bit regretful.

Qingshan Li smiled and said: "Just like sports need some 'you tell me to go left, I insist on going right' temperament, making music, probably the feet also cannot step too firmly on the ground."

"Well said!" Agatsuma Haruka grasped Qingshan Li's hands, "Little brother, we still lack a manager, please do consider it?"

"No!"

"Five girls and one boy, you know!"

"I refuse!"

"When changing clothes you can stay inside!"

"Where is the club application form?" Qingshan Li asked.

"Pervert!" Drummer Mumi said.

"Please." Bassist Sakurako not only handed over the club application form, but also presented a pen.

"I have inspiration again!" F·Rino turned and walked to the corner, put on headphones, took out sheet music.

"Sakurako-senpai, you've become a traitor too!" Drummer Mumi loudly scolded Sakurako.

Bassist Sakurako was very calm: "Mumi, one more member means one less fraction of disbandment danger, and also one more share of activity funds."

"Here." Qingshan Li filled out the club application form.

"That, mine" Ono Mika was a bit at a loss.

That's right, Qingshan Li joined the club even earlier than her.

Ono Mika filled out the club application form, becoming the Sunny Band's reserve vocalist, simultaneously also serving as lyricist.

Qingshan Li is manager, odd jobs, logistics, performance planning, lyricist.

Ono Mika originally wanted to raise an objection on the point of 'serving as lyricist herself', but seeing that even Qingshan Li is a lyricist, she didn't speak up again.

The two left the Sunny Band Club, preparing to officially start activities from tomorrow.

There were still three or four minutes until school ended, some clubs had already ended activities, but the Choir Club also on the third floor had not yet.

The brother and sister waited for Ono Mizuki in the corridor.

"Li." Ono Mika looked at Qingshan Li flipping through English vocabulary cards.

"Hm?" Qingshan Li didn't shift his gaze, silently reciting words in his heart.

"You joined the band because you wanted to accompany me?"

"Because I can watch beautiful girls change clothes."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Really?"

Qingshan Li smiled: "It's true, because I want to accompany you, however, Mika-nee, I've always been curious about bands, now joining the club, I can watch your performances up close for free, that's very interesting to me."

"Really?" Ono Mika asked once again.

"I went to the Sunny Band Club myself before, just the timing wasn't very good, like a trainee policeman discovering the chief is the domestic abuser next door."

"What kind of analogy!" Ono Mika laughed, assuming his words were true for now.

Qingshan Li joining the club let her slightly uneasy heart settle down.

After all Agatsuma Haruka is just a classmate, not a friend, she was equivalent to joining a club full of strangers.

And Qingshan Li, determined to work hard to become a qualified manager, odd jobs, logistics, performance planning, lyricist.

Pushing Ono Mika onto the Budokan, he would die without regret.

And his small goal is to let Ono Mika shine brilliantly at the Cultural Festival!

Shining brilliantly at the Cultural Festival, can it represent anything? It represents nothing, possibly from now on there will never be a bigger performance.

But it doesn't need to have meaning.

As long as Ono Mika feels this time passed happily and fulfillingly, that's enough.

——System, delete 'Brass Band Club', create new work: Sunny Band

【Successfully created 'Sunny Band': 1%、2%、3%23%】

Truly not few.

Could it be because I've seen enough?

In his mind were scenes of four girls changing clothes.

It seems this novel might not be too serious.

Qingshan Li didn't change the outline, just collected material like this; since the Sunny Band Club could write "That Day a Pervert Came to the Club," he could also write "The Sunny Band Club's Ethics."

Chinese people value reciprocity most, and he hadn't lost that.

One minute until six, the school was already noisy, and Qingshan Li's mobile phone indicated a message.

【Qingshan Li: I lied to my family, it's a deal with Mikami Ai, you cooperate with me.】

【Miyase Yaeko: How come I feel like I'm the other woman?】

【Qingshan Li: Please】

【Qingshan Li: Also the house, when exactly can we move in?】

The above is last night's chat record.

【Miyase Yaeko: If you want to move, you can move today】

"She says we can move today." Qingshan Li turned his head and said to Ono Mika.

"Move after exams end." Ono Mika answered after thinking.

Ono Miyuki saw the two the moment she walked out, immediately showed a delighted smile, almost jumped over to give Qingshan Li a punch, destroying her sweet and quiet facade.

On the way home, Qingshan Li also sheltered Ono Mika in his arm.

"Li, you've worked hard." Ono Mika said.

"Ten more might be a bit difficult, but four or five is no problem." Qingshan Li felt his embrace was still plenty wide.

"Right, Miyuki, if you want, we can move today." He said.

"Really?!"

"Mika-nee decided to move after exams."

"Why?! Moving one day earlier frees up commuting time for studying one day earlier!"

The three chatted idly all the way, the one-hour journey actually ended in a blink.

Ono Mika really enjoyed this kind of after-school way home, it reminded her of something from childhood, Mom feeding Miyuki, turning to tell her "Mika, don't just watch TV, eat properly."

Is there a common point between these two?

Ono Mika couldn't find one, but from feeling, she felt the two were similar.

This kind of happiness, she never wanted to lose again.

Returned home, money was there, but because it was exam week, the three could only continue eating at home.

After eating the delicious Hamburg steak, the three began studying.

——System, Math!

【Guidance Started】

About forty-five minutes after he started studying, around nine in the evening, Mikami Ai finished studying and began handling novel publication matters.

"Author name" she lightly tapped the desktop.

Picked up her mobile phone, prepared to send Qingshan Li a message, just as the message was about to be sent, she suddenly hesitated.

What exactly did Qingshan Li hide?

She wanted to figure it out.

When dialing Qingshan Li's phone, Mikami Ai straightened slightly, rapidly thinking how to ask while chatting about this matter.

The phone rang for a long time, but finally connected.

Quite a temper.

"Good evening, Classmate Aoyama." Mikami Ai said.

An unexpected voice came from the other side.

"Um, good evening, Mikami Classmate." Ono Mika answered somewhat awkwardly, "Li is studying, may I ask what you need him for?"

"Novel matters, Senior Ono, would it be convenient to let him take the call?"

"Please wait a moment."

Mikami Ai waited quietly, gazing at the pen and paper before her, the surroundings quiet as if on the far side of the moon.

The voice on the other end of the phone was also like the view of Earth seen from the moon.

"Li? Li? Mikami Classmate has business with you."

"Hey, Qingshan Li, someone's looking for you!"

After a while, Ono Mika's gentle and pleasant voice once again reached her as the recipient.

"Sorry, Mikami Ai Classmate, Li seems completely immersed in studying, I'll have him call back later." Ono Mika smiled wryly.

"Just have him send me a message back." Mikami Ai replied immediately, "What author name to use, real name or something else, just that question."

"Okay, we'll relay it."

"Sorry to bother."

Putting down the phone, Mikami Ai began handling other novel matters.

Won't pick up? Then won't call again.
