In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

"It's okay~" Akiyama Mio said lightly.

"Huh?" Yamada Ryo and Ichiji Nijika were both taken aback.

Akiyama Mio said softly:

"I mean, Pochi can continue to be the guitarist in the band after it ends, and doesn't need to quit the light music club. It's okay if she only participates in club activities occasionally."

Ritsu Tainaka looked proud:

"That's right, unlike you guys who have formal performance needs, we're very relaxed! We're either drinking tea or eating snacks!"

Nijika Ichiji's expression froze slightly. Was this something to be proud of?

Ultimately, the reason Goto Doku joined the End Band was...

Although it was indeed Ichiji Nijika who took the initiative to invite them, ultimately it was probably because they were too relaxed.

If we calculate the time, Goto Doku joined the band in May.

At that time, the Light Music Club had only been established for half a month. They were busy drinking tea and eating snacks. Wei hadn't even learned to play the guitar yet, and the members had never played a ensemble together.

I didn't think much of it before, but now that I think about it, the light music club back then was practically no different from a tea party!

Under these circumstances, it's no wonder that Goto Doku was poached.

Akiyama Mio sighed softly:

"After all, in the end, Pochi-chan and we are different. Ritsu only joined the Light Music Club because she wanted to be the club president. I joined to accommodate Ritsu. Before joining the club, I couldn't even memorize the sheet music. In the end, I was just an amateur."

"But before joining the light music club, Pochi-chan had already practiced guitar for a long time, right? Unlike us amateurs, Pochi-chan probably wanted to join a band from the very beginning. Leisure is a good thing for us, but for Pochi-chan, it might be like poison..."

"No! That's not it! Absolutely not!"

The usually withdrawn Goto Indokko became unusually excited and stood up from his chair:

I love everyone, and I love the light music club. Being in a band wasn't really my dream; I initially just wanted to be cool and make friends through the guitar. But... but I don't want to give up on ending the band. You're all my friends... I... I... *sobs*

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

Goto demonstrated to the world through his actions that it can take only a fleeting moment for someone to go from giving a passionate speech to crying out and crawling under the table.

Akiyama Mio said softly:

"So, isn't this a good way to explain things clearly?"

"Because everyone is your friend, no one will blame you~!" Ichiji Nijika comforted her.

Isn't Chapter 171 pretty good too?

Ritsu Tainaka made a veiled remark: "To actually want it all, Pochi-chan is really bold, isn't she? That's exactly the kind of talk a scumbag would make."

Her eyes kept glancing at Yoshikage Kira.

Ryo Yamada agreed: "If Pochi-chan weren't a girl, he would definitely be a scumbag."

It was supposed to be a warm and cozy atmosphere, but they ruined it.

"law!"

"cold!"

Akiyama Mio stared intently at her friends, while Ichiji Nijika also stared at Yamada Ryo.

Their unexpected chemistry made them exchange a glance and burst out laughing.

The older sister with long, straight blonde hair suddenly asked:

"Since you're also a band, why don't you come on stage and perform for a bit?"

"Huh?"

Ritsu Tainaka was somewhat surprised:

"Is that alright? We're just amateurs, would that be inappropriate?"

Ichiji Hoshika waved her hand dismissively:

"It's not a formal performance anyway, so it's fine."

Livehouse isn't a charity. Even if the initial intention was to generate income out of love, it still needs to make a profit. If you want to perform on stage, you have to pay. But if it's free time like now, then it doesn't matter at all—after all, she's the manager, and she can do whatever she wants.

Ritsu Tainaka was somewhat tempted:

"mio".

Yui Hirasawa was eager to try:

"Performing on stage! Want to give it a try? What do you think, Tsumugi?"

Kotobuki Tsumugi smiled.

"I can do it! Isn't it a great opportunity?"

"Then let's give it a try!"

Although I'm not particularly attached to it, there's no harm in giving it a performance, right?

Nijika Ichiji looked pleasantly surprised:

"Are you going to perform? I'm really looking forward to it!"

Great!

While it's true that they are also amateurs, no one can accept the fact that they are always at the bottom.

If you can find someone who is even less professional than yourself, you won't feel a sense of accomplishment, but you'll still feel a little comforted.

Although she didn't know the exact level of the light music club, she figured it probably wouldn't be too good.

After all, this is something they admitted themselves:

While in the club, they mostly drank tea and ate snacks, and rarely practiced, which is why Boqi-chan had time to participate in their band's practice.

Although the band wasn't exactly outstanding, everyone had put in a lot of hard work and practiced!

No matter what, they shouldn't be worse than someone who hasn't even practiced, right?

Just watching the Light Music Club's performance and knowing that there are even more amateur bands than them can help them build a little confidence—Ichiji Nijika thinks that's probably what her older sister is thinking!

and so!

"Mio, which song should we sing?"

The koto player set up the keyboard and asked softly.

Akiyama Mio hesitated for a moment. They had only practiced three pieces in total. Two of them were written by Kira-kun, and the other…

"Use the one I wrote." The girl's cheeks flushed slightly.

Ritsu Tianjing exclaimed:

"Huh? Mio, are you serious? We've only practiced a few times, haven't we?"

To be precise, this song was written by Mio two days ago, who, for some unknown reason, became incredibly inspired and stayed up all night writing it.

In the two days, although they had time to practice, they played together no more than five times in total. Is it really okay to perform now?

Hirasawa Yui appeared worried:

"But I'm not very skilled yet."

Goto's body trembled slightly:

What if I accidentally mess it up?

Even someone as aloof as her could understand the nature of that song.

The thought of messing up terrified her so much that she dared not perform.

"It's okay!"

Akiyama Mio spoke softly, her eyes gentle.

It's okay to mess it up. Even if it's clumsy, clumsiness is more real!

Although she originally wanted to wait a while longer, to sing to him when they were alone, at least that way she wouldn't be so shy.

But!

Kira-kun, despite his obvious aversion to attracting attention, still chose to accompany her here to help her overcome her inner shadows.

Then, she could bravely sing that song in front of other people.

It may not be perfect, and it may be clumsy, but the sentiment behind it is genuine!

If it were Kira-kun, he would definitely be able to sense it!

and so……

"Let's begin playing."

As Akiyama Mio spoke softly, her gaze remained fixed on the blond boy in the audience.

However, the three members of the band were unaware of this; their eyes were all focused on the stage, trying to find the same amateurishness in this 'band' as they were.

"One two three fore, one two three!"

Ritsu Tainaka took a deep breath, held the drumsticks high above his head, and rhythmically struck the beat, bringing out a light and cheerful prelude.

My heart pounds whenever I look at you.

Swaying thoughts, soft and gentle like Marshmallows.

I have been working hard

I've been gazing at your profile.

You didn't notice, did you?

If it is in a dream

We can get even closer...

Oh, my divine being! I beg you!
