What does it have to do with me if they hate vests?

Thinking of this, Si Ji finally calmed down and drank a sip of tea calmly.

"And speaking of which, after being identified by many bigwigs as to the style of painting, this comic was most likely drawn by the emerging cartoonist Fuyuo Kishihisa who created "At Least, Like the Snow." Amakusa Shino suddenly said.

"Cough cough..." Si Ji sprayed tea out of his nose.

"Wow, is Washimiya-kun okay?" Amakusa Shino, who was almost sprayed, asked with concern.

"N-Never mind... Sorry."

Si Ji complained in his heart while calming his breathing which had become rapid due to choking.

From "Transformation" to "That Snow", my drawing level has risen from level 5 to level 8 in one go. How did those lsp who read the books connect two comics with such a big gap in drawing level? Could it be that the observation ability will be greatly improved in the sage mode!

In the end, Si Ji could only sigh softly and hypnotize himself in his heart: The one who drew "Transformation" was Fuyuo Kishihisa, what does it have to do with me, Washimiya Shiki?

Eriri, on the other hand, had a strange expression on her face when she heard Amakusa Shino's flattery. It seemed as if she was trying hard to hold back her laughter, planning to use this as a topic of conversation to make fun of Fuyuo Kishihisa the next time she saw him.

"The author of "That Snow"..."

It is obvious that Yukinoshita Yukino has also read this comic. After all, it caused quite a bit of controversy some time ago, and most of the reviews were positive. Plus, there are two characters for snow in the girl's name, so it is natural that she couldn't not care.

And the comic itself did not disappoint her expectations. Although the plot was a bit heavy, as a realistic theme disguised as youth, it benefited the girl a lot.

Especially now that she has to sell herself to Qiu Ling Wenping in some form because of her family's relationship, she has a deeper understanding of the helplessness of the heroine in "That Snow".

Precisely because of this, the girl actually had a very high opinion of that 'Fuyu Kishi'. So when she learned that the comic in front of her, which looked different in style from "That Snow" and not as artistic as "That Snow", was also his work, she couldn't help but become a little interested. She put it on the table, gently opened it and began to read quickly.

For novels, reading ten lines at a glance requires a certain amount of reading, but for comics, which are mainly visual, there are not so many requirements for fast reading, especially when the information density of the pictures is not that high.

Although "Metamorphosis" also requires certain text reading due to the lines, it is not like some comics where every line of lines almost becomes a short essay. Its lines are more refined and beautiful, and at the same time they also highlight the cruelty of the plot and the irreversible powerlessness of the tragedy.

After spending more than ten minutes quickly reading the comic book, Yukino remained silent for a long time. It was obvious that she was moved by the heroine's misery and heart-wrenching regret of sinking into the quagmire.

Just like Amakusa Shino said, people who finish reading this comic will probably never dare to touch those banned drugs in their life.

"It's a good work." Finally, Yukinoshita Yukino calmed down and made a judgment that did not go against her own conscience.

Shiki, who had once severely tested the girl's depth as 'Akira Bunpei', could see that under the double attack of "That Snow" and "Transformation", Yukino was already wavering.

"Right, right!"

Amakusa Shino immediately became happy. She pulled out another doujinshi from under her skirt and said, "In addition to this writer's work, I also highly recommend Kashiwagi Eri's work!"

"Where did you hide these things and bring them here?" Si Ji couldn't help but ask.

Beside him, Ying Lili's eyes were already round with nervousness.

"...In order to bring them here, I made a lot of sacrifices." Amakusa Shino looked out the window with a frivolous look, but then she turned back and said seriously: "Also, these two comics are pending items that the discipline committee has not received. I didn't bring them to school, so I didn't violate the school rules~"

"Why do you follow the school rules in such a small place..."

Four Seasons complained.

At this time, Amakusa Shino had already recommended the doujinshi to Yukinoshita Yukino: "Unlike Mr. Fuyuo Kishihisa, whose main focus is on the depth of the story, her works focus on practicality~ Especially recently, I don't know if she has been stimulated by something in reality, her style of painting has become more excellent and practical! And her human bodies are great, and many of the compositions look like they were drawn in front of a mirror. Obviously, many of them are touching ○ and △, but they have an inexplicable sense of reality! Even the wrinkles on the mango..."

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Eriri's scream drowned out Amakusa Shino's passionate commentary.

The girl who was watching the show calmly just now now had her cheeks red enough to bleed, and said in a panic, "That's not the case! Don't you know that one way to refer to something is to look up pictures on the Internet? Teacher Kashiwagi Eri must have just looked up pictures on the Internet! How could she have drawn it herself!"

Although she was refuting Amakusa Shino, most of her words were addressed to Shiki, because among the people present, only Shiki, as the follower of the Yamada fairy, knew her secret as 'Kashiwagi Eri'. She was suddenly described like that by Amakusa Shino, and naturally felt a little embarrassed and annoyed in addition to being ashamed.

"Don't worry, I won't misunderstand you."

Shiki said softly with a smile on his face, his tone extremely sincere.

His calm attitude also made Eriri feel much better. She whispered softly in a voice that would not arouse the suspicion of Amakusa Shino and Yukino, "Thank you."

"No, what I mean is," Shiki explained seriously, "Mr. Kashiwagi draws mostly giant characters, so he definitely didn't draw himself in the mirror."

Yinglili: "..."

The girl's eyes were dead.

"So, after reading these two completely different excellent works, you can set up a stall to sell doujinshi at the Toyoin Festival!" Amakusa Shino on the side asked Yukino confidently.

Yukino, who was originally moved by the "Transformation", silently flipped through the juicy and heavy-mouthed Touch○Ling△ book and said expressionlessly.

"turn down."

Chapter 172 Light Music Section

As preparations for the Fengyin Festival gradually get on track, Shiki begins to add to it according to his own preferences.

"We understand. The light music club will also perform during the festival!"

Inside the light music club's activity room, the sunny girl with short brown hair, Yui Hirasawa, assured her in high spirits.

As the lead guitarist and captain of the After School Tea Party Band, although the girl herself has little self-awareness, she has always been the core figure of the light music club. As long as she is dealt with, the light music club will basically have no problems.

"Is this really okay?" Bassist Akiyama Mio was a little uneasy. The black straight-haired girl said in a voice that was subtly similar to that of the unremarkable student council president: "I heard that many famous bands will be invited to participate. In comparison, aren't we a little too amateurish..."

"no need to worry."

While sipping the black tea provided by the Light Music Club, Shiki said happily, "The Toyotsu Festival is a festival we hold to give Toyotsuki students a stage to showcase themselves. The performances will be centered around the students, and we won't let others take over the show."

The light music club’s tea and snacks are all high-end products. Although Shiki is not a particularly picky eater—after all, he doesn’t have a divine tongue—being able to enjoy good things still makes people happy.

This is also the reason why he still knew a little about the light music club despite being absent for the first two years.

"Unlike those sports clubs that focus on track and field or ball games, they have national competitions where they can show themselves off. However, for arts clubs, except for the performance clubs that also have competitions, many clubs only have the school festival, which can barely be considered a grand stage, over the course of three years. This directly leads to the inability to directly present the charm of their activities to other students, making the current cultural clubs so weak."

Shiki said righteously: "Our Fengyin Festival is to change this situation!"

"That's amazing!" The silly Hirasawa Yui clapped enthusiastically and seemed quite moved.

"...I always feel something is suspicious." The drummer, Ritsu Tanaka, who was wearing a headband and had a subtle hairline, frowned, touched his chin with one hand, and spoke in a detective tone.

"And the school idols will be there too, right? If I were to stand on the same stage with them, I'd still be a little..."

Akiyama Mio said shyly, somewhat lacking in confidence.

“But it would be very happy if I could perform on the stage with everyone.” The keyboardist and accordionist squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

"That's right!"

Hirasawa Yui loudly affirmed Kotobuki's statement: "I'm sure she'll be very happy! And... I also want to leave an unforgettable memory for Azusa before graduation!"

After she said this, everyone else fell silent.

Indeed, everyone else in the club is already a third year student, and only the second guitarist, Azusa Nakano, is one year younger than them. After Hirasawa Yui and the others graduate, Azusa Nakano will be the only one left in the entire light music club.

Even if you just imagine it, you can feel how lonely the other person would be.

So even if it's just once, Hirasawa Yui wants to leave a good memory for the other person.

"Oh, yes, it's so rare that Washimiya-kun is here, so let me show you our new song!" Hirasawa Yui suddenly put down the cake in her hand as a snack and staggered towards her guitar.

"You haven't practiced that skill well yet, Yui!" Akiyama Mio, who was afraid of making a fool of herself, hurried over, as if trying to stop her.

"It's okay, you'll get better at it eventually~" And Tianzhong Ritsu followed Akiyama Mio to stop her from stopping Hirasawa Yui.

Si Ji looked at the three people with amusement as they struggled to move to the corner where the instruments of the light music section were placed. At the same time, he asked Qin Chui, who was sitting on his left and was also looking at everyone with a parent's eyes, "Aren't you going to join us?"

"Ritsu will help bring my keyboard." The gentle girl seemed to have already determined that Akiyama Mio could not defy the dictatorship of Hirasawa Yui and Tiananaka Ritsu, and said with a sweet smile: "Also, I would like to thank Washimiya-kun for inviting us to the Toyotsu Festival... I heard that the organizer is the Servant Club with only two members. It must be very difficult to support such a big stall."

"In fact, there is only one director in the service department, and I am just a temporary member."

Si Ji shook his head and did not take any credit for it.

"That Yukinoshita-san is really strong." Kotobuki said softly.

Although the Kotobuki family cannot be compared with the behemoth like the Shinomiya family, it is almost the same size as the original Yukinoshita family. Kotobuki is a veritable young lady. The black tea and snacks of the light music club are all brought by her from home. It is because of this that she has heard the rumors about the Yukinoshita family and knows the current situation of Yukinoshita Yukino, so she admires the other party so sincerely. Under such circumstances, not only was she not defeated by reality, but she was able to take the initiative to organize activities such as the Toyotsu Festival.

By the way, after being rejected by Yukinoshita Yukino to add some less serious stalls, the student council president Amakusa Shino once tried to take over the hosting rights of the Toyoin Festival with great righteousness - it was not to pick peaches, after all, the Toyoin Festival has not even started yet, and there is absolutely no value worth picking peaches. It can be said that there are only pressure and difficulties - but of course he was ignored by Yukinoshita Yukino.

Since it was Shiki who brought in the sponsorship, the financial power was in the hands of the Service Club. As long as Yukino held on to this lifeline, and Shiki didn't rebel, it wouldn't matter how much the Student Council rebelled.

“Sorry, I’m late!”

At this time, someone else ran into the light music club activity room.

She was a baby-faced girl with black hair and twin ponytails, carrying a guitar case on her back. Her figure was so petite that it wouldn't look out of place even in a junior high school.

She is the fifth member of the light music club, second guitarist Azusa Nakano.

The petite girl put down her guitar case and said, "I brought a friend with me... Hey, Washimiya-senpai?"

"Hey, Zi Miao~" Si Ji greeted her with a smile.

"Please don't learn Senior Wei's bad habits in a place like this!" the girl said angrily.

Then another figure walked into the activity room cautiously. It should be the friend the girl just mentioned.

"Excuse me, I'm Kita, in the same class as Nakano-san! Please just call me Kita!"

The girl with long red hair also carried a guitar case on her back and greeted everyone in the light music section as if she was a little nervous.

"Oh, Kita-chan, are you planning on joining the light music club?"

Hirasawa Yui came to the table with her guitar, looked at the guitar case behind Kita, and asked with shining eyes.

"No, it's not."

Kita bowed with a serious expression and said, "I want to join a band... so I hope you can teach me how to play the guitar!"

Chapter 173: The Runaway Guitarist

"I know this is a bit cheeky, but..."

"No problem at all."

Before Kita could finish, Hirasawa Yui agreed with a smile without hesitation.

The other members of the light music club also had no objection. It seemed that for them, there was no need to hesitate when it came to helping others.

"Ah, but I also started learning guitar after joining the light music club, but I'm just an amateur. It seems that Azusa has been learning it since she was a child. If I learn from her, it should be more professional, right?"

But then Hirasawa Yui said again in distress.

"That's not true! Senior Wei's performance is amazing. I joined the light music club because I was moved by his performance!"

However, Nakano Azusa expressed her admiration for Hirasawa Yui quite seriously.

"Umm~~~Azusa-nyan!"

Hirasawa Yui happily hugged Nakano Azusa and rubbed the latter's soft little face hard, causing the latter to let out a short, panicked cry like a kitten's meow.

The other three members of the light music club looked at the scene with gentle eyes for a while, and then Kotobuki said, "Rather than this, why don't we first see how good Kita-san is, and then decide how to practice."

Perhaps it was because the interaction between the light music club members was so soft and light that Kita, who was originally a little nervous, relaxed unconsciously. As a result, when she heard her name suddenly mentioned by the other party, her body couldn't help but tense up again: "Well, although I have practiced many times, I can never make a decent guitar sound, the tone is always very low..."

As she said this she took her 'guitar' out of her bag.

The other members of the light music club fell silent for a moment, except for Hirasawa Yui who said in an innocent tone, "Kitaro, isn't this the bass?"

"Ahahaha, even I know the difference between a bass and a guitar. Look, doesn't it have six strings?"

Kita probably thought the other party was joking, so he responded in a cheerful tone.

"But there are also six-string basses," said Yui Hirasawa.

“Eh? Ehhhhh——?!”

After realizing that the other party was not joking, Kita looked at the other members of the light music club, and naturally found their speechless expressions. He immediately fell to the ground, showing an extremely frustrated and sad expression as if he had seen the end of the world.

"I, I even asked my father for an advance of three years' worth of pocket money..."

"oh..."

Hirasawa Yui was also overwhelmed by this heavy atmosphere and didn't know what to say for a moment. She could only sigh like a comedian.

Kita, on the other hand, seemed to cheer up quickly, and stood up with a dull look on his face: "Sorry, please pretend I didn't say anything just now, goodbye..."

After saying that, he staggered away from the light music club.

While everyone in the light music club seemed to be still hesitating whether to catch up and comfort them, Shiki had already put down the teacup in his hand.

"I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Qinbuki glanced at Shiki and suddenly smiled gently: "I'll leave the child to you as well."

"I have no idea what you are talking about."
