"Then, with the addition of new members, let's begin the practice for the reborn school idol group 'Muse'!"
Looking at the three new members, Kousaka Honoka said excitedly.
"Oh my, oh my, Honoka seems to be very energetic now, doesn't she? You're always looking for opportunities to slack off, but now you're saying you want to practice. Are you perhaps an impostor?"
Shiina, who was standing by, looked at Kousaka Honoka like this and couldn't help but mock her. "Want to go to heaven? Go to hell!"
"What's wrong? I'm just very excited right now! Think about it, there are six people now, six people. It's like an idol group! I wonder if these six people will ever be called a super group someday!"
Kousaka Honoka was lost in her beautiful dreams, unable to extricate herself.
However, in the end, they did become a super group, but they were treated as a cult idol group.
"It's really enviable to be touched by the same thing every day, meow!"
So, what exactly are you envious of, girl? Envious of her carefree nature?
"So you're just thinking that with more people, even if you sing badly, no one will notice, or if you mess up a dance, no one will see it, right? You really are a salted fish. From now on, I'll call you Salted Fish Honoka."
Shiina indicated that she had seen through everything. You were just trying to be lazy.
"What salted fish? How could you say something so mean! Why do you, this rabbit, always have to go against me!"
Looking at Shiina, Kousaka Honoka indicated that if she didn't assert herself, she would be treated as a pushover in the future.
"Oh, oh, oh~ Did I say something wrong? Didn't you have that thought? You're so lazy, Honoka."
Shiina's head suddenly bent ninety degrees to look at Kousaka Honoka.
"Uh!" Unable to refute, she really did think that.
Kousaka Honoka expressed that she had nothing to say and silently backed down.
Just as Kousaka Honoka and Shiina were arguing, the first-year students came before Yoshino.
"You must be Senior Shiino from the second year, right? Hello, I'm Nishikino Maki from the first year. Nice to meet you, please take care of me."
Looking down at Yoshino, was this the person who sang such a captivating song in the auditorium earlier? It didn't seem like it.
But at least she was a senior, so Nishikino Maki greeted her politely.
"H-hello. I'm Yoshino. Honoka and the others told me that you composed their first song, right? That's amazing, your piano skills are really great."
Looking at Nishikino Maki, who was taller than herself, was this the tsundere young lady? She looked really pretty.
"Th-thank you for the compliment, Senior. But Senior's singing that day was also very impressive. It made people unconsciously want to listen to the song and sway their bodies. Just a guitar could make people feel this way; if other instruments were added, it would be truly amazing."
Seeing the cute Yoshino praise her, Nishikino Maki felt unable to act tsundere as usual in front of Yoshino. She changed the subject by talking about the music Yoshino had played that day.
"Mm, it's a song that needs many instruments playing together. But at the time, for Honoka and the others, I just got a bit carried away and went up. Hehe~ Now that I think about it, I feel so embarrassed."
To have said so much in front of so many people, she couldn't imagine she had done such a thing.
"Senior Shiino and Senior Kousaka really have a good relationship, meow~ To think that Yoshino, who is so shy, would go up and sing to encourage you all," Koizumi Hanayo said with a sigh.
"But right now, the most important thing is to practice quickly. Time is running out."
Nishikino Maki twirled her hair and said to Kousaka Honoka and the others, who were still making a fuss.
"Little Maki is full of motivation now," Hoshizora Rin said playfully, throwing herself onto her.
"N-no, I'm not. I just want to finish practicing quickly and go home early."
Nishikino Maki retorted with a blush, "N-no, it's not like that."
"There you go again, there you go again. I saw you during lunch break, you were secretly practicing by yourself, you know."
Ah, so the person Yoshino saw at noon was Nishikino Maki? Because she was helping the student council, she only glanced at her and didn't pay attention, she didn't expect it to be Nishikino Maki.
"Oh, oh, oh~ You don't need to be shy, you know. Both I and Yoshino saw it at that time. You were clearly working hard in secret, and that's something to be praised for. You don't need to be shy."
Shiina ignored Kousaka Honoka, turned and looked at Nishikino Maki. The Nishikino Maki she saw now was her truest, 'original' self.
"N-no, it's not like that." What? How could so many people have seen it? What a failure.
"Don't worry about it, meow~ Little Maki is just embarrassed."
Hoshizora Rin suddenly heard a sound behind her, and after turning her head, she found... "It's raining."
"The weather forecast said that we've already entered the rainy season..."
Yoshino also sensed with her spiritual power that today's weather was a bit humid; she already knew it would rain.
"They said the chance of rain was only sixty percent."
"But it's not strange for it to rain with a sixty percent chance, is it?" Nishikino Maki, leaning against the wall, said indifferently.
"But on the day before yesterday and yesterday, they also said it was only sixty percent, and it didn't rain, did it?"
So, with what kind of feelings are you saying these things?
'If I use my spiritual power to manipulate it, I should be able to disperse the dark clouds and make the sky clear.'
After calculating in her mind, she found it feasible. However, she immediately rejected this method.
'Even if I stop the rain, the water on the ground won't dry up immediately. Let's just let everyone rest for a day.'
Looking at Hoshizora Rin and Kousaka Honoka, who were already getting wet on the rooftop, she shook her head. They truly were the idiot duo.
Turning around, everyone went to a fast-food restaurant and ordered fast food. Kousaka Honoka was eating fries with a disgruntled expression.
"Honoka, if you vent your stress on food, it'll be terrible."
"Exactly, exactly. You'll suddenly get plump and then you won't be able to be an idol."
Shiina tried hard to make a round shape, which made Kousaka Honoka's face stiffen, and she put down the fries in her hand.
"But right now, we should first discuss the venue issue. If it keeps raining like this, it won't work." Nishikino Maki drew everyone's attention back.
"We also asked the teachers, but if it's not an official club activity, they won't let us use it," Minami Kotori said somewhat dejectedly.
"Hey, why don't you, Honoka, go to the student council and apply to form a club? There are already six people here now, so it should at least meet the minimum requirement, right?" Yoshino said with a hint of curiosity, taking small bites of her hamburger.
Before, they didn't have enough people, so they weren't qualified. Now that they do, why not do it?
..."Oh, that's right! I forgot!" Sure enough, if it wasn't like this, it wouldn't be Kousaka Honoka.
"Um, what do you mean you forgot?" Nishikino Maki looked at Kousaka Honoka with a bit of curiosity. Forgot what?
"Nothing, really. Once we had enough people, I just relaxed and..." Kousaka Honoka scratched her head somewhat awkwardly.
"These people probably won't work."
What kind of unreliable group did she end up joining?
'But now it probably isn't that simple to organize. So the seventh goddess is also coming.'
Yoshino, who was eating a hamburger, thought as she watched Kousaka Honoka stand up and laugh heartily.
Now should be the time for Muse's Koakuma to appear.
