Chapter 81: Did Something Go Wrong with Improving Kendo in a Girls' Band?

【Countdown to the National High School Baseball Championship: 57 days】

【57 days, very short, short enough to pass in a flash; 57 days, also very long, long enough to change a person's life!】

Qingshan Li still remembered the oath from the Hundred-Day Oath Rally in his past life.

Exams ended in the blink of an eye, school let out at three in the afternoon.

Those who wanted to go home could go home, and some stayed at school to keep studying, cramming until cram school started, then heading straight to cram school.

Some participated in club activities.

Especially those clubs whose competitions were right around the corner.

【Baseball Club Female Manager: Qing Shan Jun, want to come check out the club? Today another school is coming to play a practice match with us.】

【Track and Field Club President: Qing Shan Junior Student, so many girls wearing shorts, hurry over!】

「Qingshan, you rarely have free time, come to the Kendo Club with me? 」Aizawa Jun said while packing his bookbag, extending an invitation.

It was only then that Qingshan Li realized he was interested in all three of these clubs.

「Sorry, I have other things to do, I'll definitely go check it out when I have time. 」Qingshan Li said.

「Where, welcome anytime! 」Aizawa Jun didn't mind at all, 「Just that today men and women are training together, the Sword Princess will also come. 」

「I'll definitely go, Aizawa! 」Qingshan Li said.

「Qingshan, you bastard! 」Kobayashi Shiki laughed loudly.

Laughing and joking, they walked out of the classroom.

「Hey! 」Kobayashi Shiki called out to the two of them, 「I'll treat you to drinks. 」

The three walked side by side, each holding an aluminum can of BOSS.

「How is it? 」

「C. 」

「Average. 」

「You three are blocking the way! 」Mami's voice came.

The three turned around, and it wasn't just Mami blocking them; the others followed behind, not daring to speak out in anger.

「Sorry sorry! 」

「Please please! 」

The three pressed their bodies against the window side of the corridor, then simultaneously raised their arms, sipping BOSS.

Passing high school girls giggled, this scene looked like an advertisement.

Qingshan Li headed to the Sunny Band Club, and on the way met Ono Mika.

「Tasty? 」Ono Mika asked curiously.

「Kobayashi Shiki treated us, yeah. 」Qingshan Li handed her the BOSS.

Ono Mika took it, took a small sip, then handed it back to him.

「How is it? 」Qingshan Li asked.

Ono Mika nodded: 「Not bad. 」

「By the way, Ono Mihana, are you sure you want to help the Seiten Band? 」

「Of course. 」Ono Mika found it strange that he would ask that, 「I'm already a club member of the Sunny Band Club. 」

「The club has already been disbanded. 」

「The club is gone, but the band is still here. 」Ono Mika found it amusing, 「What's wrong, Li, do you think we can't gather fifty people? 」

「It's a bit difficult. 」Qingshan Li nodded.

「No problem, we'll work hard together, we can definitely do it! 」

Qingshan Li asked this not because the matter was simple or difficult.

Ono Mika had made up her mind to help the Seiten Band, and before the end of May, she probably wouldn't give up.

After May passed, summer vacation would start in mid-July, and once the Cultural Festival in the second half of the year ended, almost all clubs would stop activities.

Excluding May, including summer vacation—club activities could also continue during summer vacation, until October of the Cultural Festival, there were only five months in total.

Time was running out.

Now it seemed, he could only honestly board the Sunny Band Club's vehicle.

Hope to see some nice scenery.

Since that was the case, Qingshan Li felt he had the necessity to occupy the driver's seat.

Otherwise, with Agatsuma Haruka, Bass Sakurako and their energy, they would definitely stay at the club all day "making preparations," or wear performance costumes to amuse themselves.

Qingshan Li finished the rest of the BOSS in one gulp, and mustered his motivation.

《My Oshi Sister Performs at Budokan, My Brother Dies Without Regrets》, starting now, grand serialization!

I'm joking, anyway, survive first.

Arriving at the Sunny Band Club, knock first.

「Enter. 」

The two walked in, and their gazes were immediately attracted, not because those four people had done something again.

Mikami Ai sat on the sofa.

She held a mobile phone, seemingly watching a video edited by Qingshan Li.

Come to grade? Qingshan Li thought to himself.

Seeing the two, Mikami Ai stood up: 「Good afternoon, Ono Senior; Good afternoon, Classmate Aoyama. 」

The two returned the greeting.

Qingshan Li was about to ask her what she came for, but Ono Mika had already spoken, she asked curiously: 「Mikami Classmate, do you have something to do here? 」

"The Athens Philosophy Research Club has a task: evaluating clubs on behalf of the Student Council. I'm here to ask the Sunny Band Club a few questions."

"Finished evaluating?" Qingshan Li asked.

"The Sunny Band Club plans to hold a performance in May to regain club status. I intend to observe this experience before giving my evaluation."

"I also asked Mikami Classmate to watch it," Agatsuma Haruka said.

Bass Sakurako explained: "Her evaluation might influence the Student Council's decision. Then, even if we haven't completed the mission, we can regain our status."

"The premise is that we can get a high evaluation." Qingshan Li said.

"Little Brother Jun," Agatsuma Haruka showed a slightly ingratiating smile, "You were once a member of the Athens Philosophy Research Club, so you should know the standards for getting a high score, right?"

"That's right, you're Mikami Junior's pillow person, quickly tell us the answers like a teacher secretly telling us answers during the final exam!" Bass Sakurako said.

"Senior, jokes like 'pillow person' will lower our evaluation." Qingshan Li reminded.

Actually he didn't know whether it would or not, but that didn't stop him from threatening them.

"Not a joke, a slip of the tongue, what I meant to say is person by my side! Sorry, Mikami Classmate!" Bass Sakurako apologized immediately.

F·Rino tried to salvage something, handing out sheet music: "Mikami Classmate, please look at the lyrics I wrote!"

Mikami Ai took them.

"Everyone please take a look, these are lyrics I wrote last night." F·Rino distributed the sheet music.

The club room fell quiet.

The third-floor classroom had good soundproofing, but the window was open for ventilation, so instrument sounds and shouts from sports clubs faintly came from outside the window.

Everyone seriously looked at the sheet music.

〖Today while practicing guitar, my fingers bled again〗

〖Looking at the blood on my fingertips, remembering myself from ten years ago〗

〖Pretending not to care about the person I like〗

〖Saying the opposite to the person I love most〗

〖Today while practicing guitar, my fingers bled again〗

〖Looking at the blood on my fingertips, remembering you who bandaged me ten years ago〗

〖When will I be able to express love with all my might〗

"It's written about Mikami Classmate and Qing Shan Jun."

Qingshan Li looked at F·Rino.

She shyly covered her face with the sheet music, occasionally revealing her eyes as if expecting everyone's reaction.

"I can understand." Qingshan Li seemed more like he was persuading himself, "Creators are like this when gathering material, they have their own angles for looking at things."

"Don't be stubborn, Little Brother Jun, if you really like someone, seize the present, life only happens once, once missed, it's gone!" Agatsuma Haruka encouraged.

"In this classroom of April with cherry blossoms dancing~" Bass Sakurako began playing "Day of Departure."

【Sunny Band: 31%】

Qingshan Li finally understood how they wasted time in the club room.

Actually it wasn't bad.

If it were now his first year of high school, he felt it was completely fine, and would be happy for Ono Mika to participate in this aimless band club, just showing her face at the cultural festival.

But now the club couldn't even be saved, and they were still playing and singing by themselves!

He rolled up the sheet music in his hand and struck Bass Sakurako's head with one blow.

"It hurts~" Bass Sakurako held her head, the music stopped abruptly.

"Now." Qingshan Li raised the paper sword, "Immediately. Right now. All of you go perform on the playground!"

"So fierce. It hurts~"

"How can you hit a senior. It hurts~"

【Kendo E Up】

"I said last night, even if I use despicable and low means, I have to make you move forward."

Swish!

Qingshan Li pointed the paper sword in his hand at the classroom door.

"Action!"

"You hurt so much~, I know I know!" Agatsuma Haruka surrendered and admitted defeat.

"I have inspiration again, hehehe~" F·Rino laughed softly, like a cute female molester.

Is this what a creator with inspiration looks like?

A bit disgusting.

"I'll move the drum set, you all hurry up and prepare." Qingshan Li slipped the sheet music into his pocket.

It's just a simple performance, not too many equipment requirements, just take the instruments.

Mikami Ai watched Qingshan Li from the side, feeling that compared to being in the Athens Philosophy Research Club, he seemed happier here.
