They all have hidden attributes!

Uesugi Maya hadn't had time to plan a training camp because she was busy with Tachimi Yuki's birthday project, but upon hearing this, she instinctively voiced her objection.

"I suggest we go for a group stay by the sea."

Uesugi Maya didn't know what Tatsumi Yuki was up to, but preventing her from succeeding was definitely the right thing to do.

“You can get sunburned at the beach, but if you’re willing to apply sunscreen for me, I’m happy to use the private beach at the Tatsumi family’s place.”

Tachibana Yuki smiled and turned her gaze to Takahashi Makoto. Seeing that her attitude had suddenly softened, Uesugi Maya's eyes were filled with suspicion.

Just now in the elevator, Tachibana Yuki insisted on going to Karuizawa without giving an inch.

After a moment's thought, Uesugi Maya realized the problem: she couldn't go to Tachimi Yuki's territory, otherwise she would definitely be prepared.

“Makoto, I suggest we don’t let anyone unrelated participate in the training camp.” Uesugi Maya decided to exclude Tatsumi Yuki directly to ensure her advantage.

"That's too much, Yoru."

Yuki spun her chair, stepped off her little leather shoes, and her small feet, encased in white stockings, stepped on Makoto Takahashi: "I'm a member of the Light Music Club too."

"Disgusting." Uesugi Maya kicked Takahashi Makoto's chair away, pulling him away from Tachimi Yuki.

Chapter 84 Badminton is a Harmful Game (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

The battle between Uesugi Maya and Tatsumi Yuki was difficult to determine a victor for the time being.

Even after Nekoya Hina returned to the meeting room, the two still couldn't reach a consensus on the joint training camp. However, since it was still early, Takahashi Makoto preferred that they discuss it together at their leisure.

After Nekoya Hina put on her knee pads, Takahashi Makoto invited Tachimi Yuki to have tea with the Light Music Club.

She said that she still had work to do at the student council, and after agreeing to go on a date together next time, Makoto Takahashi, Hina Nekoya, and Maya Uesugi left the hospital together and took the train back to Tsurumizawa Academy.

When I entered the community office, it was already past 1 p.m.

Hina Nekoya knew the members of the light music club to some extent and greeted them one by one. The atmosphere wasn't awkward, and then everyone went about their own business.

Hanakawa Kaori, fearing Nekoya Hina's nagging, dragged Uesugi Maya to learn guitar, while Kashima Reiko was quite comfortable playing the drums alone. As a result, only Takahashi Makoto, Shiraishi Junka, and Nekoya Hina were in the club office.

Shiraishi Junko was a little shy. She sat next to Takahashi Makoto and studied the sheet music in silence. Her seat originally belonged to Nekoya Hina, then to Tachimi Yuki, and finally to her.

Therefore, when Nekoya Hina entered the light music club office again after a long time, she could only sit in the seat next to Uesugi Maya, which was diagonally opposite Takahashi Makoto.

She rested her chin on her left hand, which was clad in a wristband, and stared at Makoto Takahashi with a suspicious look, her cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish.

Makoto Takahashi ignored Hina Nekoya's strange look and focused on reading his music theory book.

After a while, Shiraishi Junka tugged at his sleeve, turned the laptop screen around, and said softly, "Makoto, keyboard layout, I feel this is better."

Makoto Takahashi turned his head to the side and smelled the citrus shampoo scent wafting from his black hair.

"I can't really give an evaluation without listening to the performance."

His music theory wasn't good enough to allow him to imagine melodies just by looking at the notes.

Purely acceptable?

Nekoya Hina stared wide-eyed, unable to understand why these two could address each other by name so naturally.

I'll play it for you.

Shiraishi Junko glanced at Nekoya Hina without leaving a trace, intending to retreat with Takahashi Makoto: "To the Art Club."

"Your electric piano is in the rehearsal room, right?" Takahashi Makoto's lips twitched slightly.

Everyone else was in the rehearsal room, and Shiraishi Junka naturally didn't want to join in the fun.

"Cheng, please help me move to the art department." She looked at him pleadingly.

"It's too hot, I don't want to move."

"Sincere~"

"I'll listen to it after all the parts are finished," Makoto Takahashi hardened his heart.

In Nekoya Hina's view, Shiraishi Junka's persistent pursuit of Takahashi Makoto, without the latter directly rejecting her, made the scene somewhat ambiguous.

What exactly happened in the Light Music Club?

The version of Nekoya Hina is so outdated that her brain can no longer think.

While Shiraishi Junka was carrying her laptop to discuss the sheet music with Uesugi Maya, she couldn't help but ask Takahashi Makoto:

"Acheng, aren't you the worst at dealing with strange women? You and Senior Shiraishi haven't known each other for very long, have you? Why are you calling each other by our first names?"

"Apart from Sachi and Maya, everyone else in the Light Music Club is addressed by their first names."

Makoto Takahashi turned a page of his music theory book without looking up and said, "Maybe it's because Shiraishi-senpai is special. I didn't seem very nervous when I first faced her. It could also be thanks to Sachi-nee's help before."

"But, but, listen to me, Cheng, Shiraishi-senpai seems to like you completely."

"Ok, I know."

Makoto Takahashi nodded calmly. Seeing Hina Nekoya's anxious and eager expression, stammering and unsure how to understand the situation, he suddenly had a wicked thought.

"Speaking of which, Hina probably doesn't know this, but I dated Maya."

"Huh?" Nekoya Hina opened her mouth wide, frozen in shock.

The shocking news robbed her eyes of their life force.

—Acheng has been corrupted by other women.

Before Nekoya Hina could recover, Uesugi Maya walked in, laptop in one hand, her face grave, and said coldly:

"Can you please stop spreading the word that I'm your ex-girlfriend? It's damaging my image."

The ex-girlfriend's words were too much for Hina Nekoya to accept; she slowly stood up and walked towards the office door.

"I'm going to the rooftop to calm down. That's right, just to calm down."

Makoto Takahashi watched as Hina Nekoya moved along like a zombie, blinked, and asked Maya Uesugi, "Was the joke a little too much?"

"It doesn't matter. I think these four songs are excellent and shouldn't be overlooked."

Maya Uesugi pulled out a chair and sat down, then said in a serious tone, "I want to try holding another live performance, and the costumes from last time can come in handy."

"Holding a live performance is fine, but let's skip the costumes."

Makoto Takahashi glanced at the corner of the "L"-shaped classroom, where a cardboard box contained the performance costume she had specially ordered last time.

How should we evaluate this?

Objectively speaking, Makoto Takahashi believes that it is not much different from mourning clothes; it is pure black and has no band feel at all.

Even buying jeans and printed T-shirts at clothing stores in the shopping street feels more youthful and energetic.

"Performance costumes are essential."

Maya Uesugi stopped what she was doing, looked up and said with a serious expression, "A band is also a brand, and brand image often affects sales."

“That makes sense. Let’s give the funds to Chunke and let her and Lengzi buy new performance outfits together.”

Makoto Takahashi had great confidence in Junko Shiraishi's aesthetic sense.

"I haven't worn the costume from the last performance yet."

"Let Chunke modify it."

How should the rehearsal schedule be arranged?

Uesugi Maya pressed on relentlessly, and Takahashi Makoto, seeing her get into work mode, gave a helpless smile: "Tell me your plan first."

Once Hagiwara gets serious, she exudes a reliable sense of trust, making it difficult for even herself to relax.

The two discussed the band's next plans together.

The debut performance is scheduled after Tachimi Yuki's birthday. Before that, they need to solve problems such as stage costumes, rehearsals for original songs, and plans for a group stay, as well as meet the targets for the LiveHouse.

The training camp is tentatively scheduled after the first live performance, to celebrate or to ease the disappointment of a failed live performance.

In addition, Makoto Takahashi suggested that the work be delegated to others, such as entrusting the operation of the online accounts to Hanakawa Kaori or Nekoya Hina.

Maya Uesugi respected his opinion, but showed obvious distrust towards others.

The afternoon sun streamed through the window, making people drowsy. In the quiet atmosphere of the office, the two talked face to face, discussing the band's future in a harmonious atmosphere, like parents caring for their children.

After a while, Nekoya Hina walked in. She had untied her ponytail, and her long chestnut hair swayed gracefully.

Seeing that the chair next to Makoto Takahashi was empty, just as I was about to sit down, Makoto Takahashi closed the music theory book in his hand, stood up and said, "That's about it. Let's go to the meeting."

“The rehearsal schedule is too lax,” Uesugi Maya said, frowning as she stood up with him.

"There's definitely enough time. Besides, apart from the floral weaving, I don't think there are any problems with my personal skills. We just need to work on our coordination."

Do you have any thoughts on Shiraishi's unauthorized actions?

“That’s part of the charm of live performances, and I’ll be there to help,” Makoto Takahashi said.

Hina Nekoya looked at the distance between the two and pouted unhappily.

She was the one who arrived first, and she was just preparing for the national competition. Why did she suddenly fall so far behind?

Badminton is harmful to many people.

The confession has to be put on hold...

Wait a minute, since Uesugi is Makoto's ex-girlfriend, she must know a lot of information, right?

Thinking of this, Hina Nekoya, who was following behind Makoto Takahashi and Maya Uesugi, had bright eyes.

She decided to build a good relationship with Maya Uesugi in preparation for her confession.

As soon as she entered the rehearsal room, Shiraishi Junka clung to her.

Her unapproachable behavior drew disapproving glances from her ex-girlfriend.

"Everyone, return to your positions."

Maya Uesugi exuded a cold aura and said forcefully, "Let's start the meeting now."

Under her oppressive gaze, the timid Shiraishi Junka silently released her grip on Takahashi Makoto and retreated to the electric piano.

Makoto Takahashi sat down on a high stool, nodded to Maya Uesugi, glanced around the rehearsal room, and spoke in a gentle tone to ease the atmosphere:

Before the meeting starts, is there anything everyone wants to talk about?

He wanted to create a band with a harmonious atmosphere, one that didn't operate coldly like a machine, and the bond between the musicians was also important.
