It looked… kind of interesting.
Yui Hirasawa and Tsumugi Kotobuki exchanged a glance.
"We can do anything too!"
"Wait… guys, what's going on…"
Mio Akiyama was at a loss.
Even for club funds, this was too much!
This was just absurd!
"Don't say such heavy things so casually!"
Shiraki Akiu sighed helplessly, while Mio nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Ritsu Tainaka suddenly jumped up.
"Huh? Really?"
"Faced with so many cute girls, don't you want to do something?"
At the same time, Ritsu crossed his arms, twisted his body, and said with a very narcissistic air.
"Or… could it be that you're—"
As he spoke, Ritsu's eyes subtly wandered downward toward Akiu's body, his gaze strange.
Akiu's face darkened. "I'm perfectly normal, thank you very much!"
The pure-hearted Yui and Tsumugi couldn't understand what was happening and looked completely bewildered.
Mio, however, turned bright red.
"Ritsu, what are you saying? Stop joking around!"
"Mio, I'm leaving this to you!"
Ritsu shouted loudly.
Leaving it to you?
Mio couldn't even respond.
Suddenly, she felt a massive push against her body.
She stumbled and collided directly with Akiu's chest.
The impact was so strong that Akiu herself was forced to step back two paces.
"Aki-kun, don't mind Mio—she's actually quite capable!"
Ritsu casually waved his hand in explanation from the side.
A refreshing, intoxicating scent wafted through the air.
Akiu didn't refute him. It almost sounded believable…
Looking at the girl in front of him, Akiu asked,
"Are you okay, Akiyama-san?"
"Ah… ah!!!"
Realizing what had just happened, Mio let out a scream, slightly behind the moment.
Everyone covered their ears.
Thankfully, the soundproofing in the Light Music Clubroom was decent; otherwise, someone would have complained by now.
A boy's scent… Mio quickly tried to distance herself.
Then her awareness started to blur, her eyes turning into little spirals, and her mouth moved unconsciously.
"S-sorry…"
Akiu: "…It's fine."
Mio stumbled to the corner of the classroom, feeling as if her body wasn't even hers.
Her head felt light, her vision spun, steam practically rising from her head…
This embarrassment was worse than anything before.
"Ahahahaha!"
Ritsu let out a classic villainous laugh.
Under that wild laughter, Mio gradually regained her senses.
She was angry!
How could a childhood friend deliver her other childhood friend straight into a boy's arms!
Mio clenched her fists.
No surprise here.
What followed was the harshest beating Ritsu had ever received.
...
Everyone returned to their seats.
New pine cakes and hot tea were placed on the table.
Yui began a new round of enjoyment.
"Ugh… that hurts."
"Mio-chan, that was too much! You hit so hard."
Tsumugi was gently blowing on the bump on her head.
So enviable!
She wanted to get hit by Mio too!
Mio glanced back and spoke mercilessly, "Hmph, you're the one who went overboard anyway."
"Hehe…"
Ritsu, knowing he was in the wrong, had no reply and shifted his gaze back to Akiu.
Akiu asked at the right moment, "So… why did you want me to join the Light Music Club?"
"Well, actually… it's for the club funds. The more members, the more money. You get it…"
Ritsu said, embarrassed. After all the commotion earlier, the lie had already been exposed.
Now honesty was the main strategy.
"So, Aki-kun, you want to join?"
"You don't have to do anything, just be like air."
I see… Akiu understood, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Really?"
"Really, really!"
Ritsu patted his chest in assurance.
"Just like that… uh, Yu, Yu-yu…"
"Damn it, after getting hit by Mio, I can't remember."
With his limited vocabulary, Ritsu muttered in frustration.
This made Mio glare at him again.
Akiu asked, "A ghost member?"
"Yes, yes, that's it!"
Ritsu's eyes lit up, giving a thumbs-up.
