Looking at Kousaka Honoka and the other two standing aside, Yoshino stroked the light blue guitar, and the look in her eyes became firm.
This first live performance by 'Muse', who so desperately want to be supported, who work so hard, is very important! It must be very important! This first live performance definitely has a special meaning.
Yoshino had loved the group 'Muse' since her previous life. Every time she listened to their music, she would think to herself: they truly are a group that can be called a cult. Their songs are truly addictive.
But a slight mishap still occurred during their first concert, making people feel for these three girls.
Yoshino is now one of them. She stands here, at this venue, and has the ability, the power to help them change this outcome, so she decided to try, to do something she had always been afraid to do.
She couldn't let three hardworking individuals be disheartened and end things abruptly like this! Absolutely not.
So, in the decision made with Shiina just now, it was said that if Yoshino could use her spiritual power in her voice, then her voice should be able to spread throughout Otonokizaka Academy.
There are still many students in the academy, and if she can do this well, she should be able to attract quite a few people.
In this way, this situation can definitely be changed.
Yoshino held the guitar in her arms, her mind empty, not thinking about anything, trying to relax her whole body and mind.
'Muse' is a group that embraces hope, full of hope and beauty, and works hard.
They absolutely should not be like this during their first performance.
"Zheng!"
After a brief sound check, Yoshino stood on the stage.
"Honoka, Kotori, Umi, even though Shiina said those things to you last week. But in my heart, I saw the brilliant light shining on you. I was drawn to you in this way, and unconsciously fell in love with 'Muse'."
"So, please don't give up, continue to be school idols."
It was the first time she had spoken so loudly and so much. After speaking, Yoshino was silent for a while.
Suddenly, she stomped her right foot on the stage, and the guitar unexpectedly rang out.
Although Yoshino didn't understand the guitar before, because Shiina had passed on guitar-related information and experience to her, and with her spirit physique, using the guitar was incredibly easy.
There was no prelude, no buildup; from the very beginning, it was a storm of guitar rhythm.
The guitar immediately brought the atmosphere of the entire venue to a climax.
"Rushing in with a longing heart…"
From the very beginning, she sang loudly. Yoshino had no trace of timidity, only passion.
She remembered that in her previous life, this song was sung by Haruhi Suzumiya, called "God Knows." It was an incredibly inspiring song that made people tap their feet from beginning to end. Shiina had just told her that this was the most suitable song for the current moment.
"Yet I can do nothing."
"I'm sorry, but even sharing the pain with you,"
"You still wouldn't allow it."
Yoshino slowly got into the zone, using spiritual power to spread her singing throughout Otonokizaka Academy.
Kousaka Honoka and the other two were stunned, watching Yoshino sing loudly in front of them, their mouths slightly agape, listening quietly.
Slowly, with a step, Yoshino's pitch rose, and the climax of the song had arrived.
"Come with me."
"No matter how difficult or dark the world is."
"You will surely shine."
"Beyond the end of the future."
"Don't let your soul be hurt by fragility."
Yoshino's melodious singing slowly drifted throughout Otonokizaka Academy. Now, clubs that were recruiting or students heading home all stopped in their tracks, raising their heads in confusion.
Everyone who heard the singing stopped what they were doing and started looking for the source of the beautiful music.
At this moment, Koizumi Hanayo rushed into the auditorium. Her face was slightly red from running. She was a little confused when she found the auditorium empty, but her mouth dropped open in surprise when she saw Yoshino on the stage.
She had already promised the three Senior Shiino that she would come to their concert.
She had just escaped Hoshizora Rin's invitation to go see other activities. Had she missed it?
'But Senior Shiino's singing is really beautiful.'
"Wait for me, Hanayo-chan. Why did you suddenly run over without saying anything... Huh?"
Listening to Yoshino's singing, the two stopped at the entrance.
The singing made people unconsciously sway, wanting to dance.
At the entrance, Toujou Nozomi stood smiling, listening to Yoshino's music, and unconsciously tapped her foot.
"It seems the variable on the tarot cards must be Yoshino. Yoshino really likes Muse. In that case, I should try even harder to persuade Eri-ri to join."
She thoughtfully turned her head to look at a corner, and suddenly a flash of red disappeared around the corner.
This person was Nishikino Maki, the composer for Muse this time.
And behind the audience seats on the stage, Yazawa Nico was secretly watching Yoshino's performance.
Yazawa Nico knew a little about this girl who had recently become very famous in school.
Seeing Yoshino shining on stage, Yazawa Nico felt that Yoshino was as dazzling as a star.
In the monitoring room, Ayase Eli watched Yoshino, whom she had always thought of as timid, now singing loudly for Muse, and she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The originally empty hall was now filled with many students who had come because of Yoshino's singing.
The singing was driving their steps, invading their hearts.
"Follow my steps."
"May God bless us."
At the end, Yoshino finished playing the last note.
This was a song that could be said to be a climax throughout.
Now, looking at the audience below, who had come upon hearing the sound, the seats were full, and more people were still rushing here.
Yoshino showed her cutest smile, and this smile infected everyone present.
"Everyone here, please listen to me for a moment."
Yoshino's voice attracted the audience, making everyone's eyes focus on her.
"Everyone should know that Otonokizaka Academy has a newly formed idol group called Muse, and today is their first live performance."
"They are constantly working hard so that Otonokizaka Academy will not be abolished. Don't they make people unconsciously... believe in them without any reason? Yoshino, I want to support them."
"Some people might think that what they want to do is all wasted effort, meaningless. But if they don't do it, there won't even be a chance to save the academy."
"They truly love the academy, truly like Otonokizaka Academy, which is why they decided to use the method of school idols."
"Idols need to do many things, spend a lot of time training their stamina and practicing dance. There are people among them who want to be lazy, but they have still been working hard until now. Isn't that worth our support?"
Yoshino watched as the people below lowered their heads in thought; she knew her words had an effect.
"I have always believed in one saying: before doing anything, you cannot be afraid, because if you are afraid before you start, you have already lost half. So everyone, please support our idols well."
"Next, it's their stage, it's Muse's stage!!!"
"Muse, keep it up!"
With the first person, the number of people shouting gradually increased.
"Keep it up!"
"Muse!"
Watching the students below start cheering, Yoshino nodded in satisfaction.
"Honoka. Now everyone is your audience, and the seats are all taken. Can your first live performance begin?"
With everyone's anticipation, Yoshino turned to look at Kousaka Honoka, Minami Kotori, and Sonoda Umi, who had tears in their eyes.
"Arigato!!! Yoshino!!!" * 3
The three, a little out of control, hugged Yoshino, their hearts full of emotion.
Because the timid and shy Yoshino had gone to such lengths for them, how much courage must she have had to do it?
Watching the three girls, their faces streaked with tears, hugging Yoshino, the audience below said nothing.
They just silently applauded them; now they vaguely understood what had just happened.
So now, Muse's first live performance changed its original outcome and was a complete success.
