After a while, Mio couldn't stand it anymore and saw Ritsu being so smug and chattering.
Can't you be more serious? How can you recruit new members like this?
So, Mio hit Ritsu on the forehead with a knife-hand.
Ritsu finally calmed down and covered her forehead with her hands, looking aggrieved.
"How did Hotaru know that Ritsu was the headmaster?"
Tsumugi blinked and looked at Hotaru and asked.
Hearing this, the three of them also looked over.
Yes, it seems that no one has ever said that Ritsu is the minister.
"Of course that's because Ritsu-san is sitting in the middle, and I think Ritsu has the makings of a leader."
Hotaru said with an exaggerated expression.
"Is that so… Ahahaha!"
Ritsu became proud again.
Mio looked at Hotaru with strange eyes, feeling that she was deliberately praising her to make Ritsu feel elated.
In order to prevent Ritsu from falling into the same situation again.
Mio mustered up the courage to ask, "Hotaru...-san, what do you want to talk to us about?"
Could it be that she is here to blame for what happened last time? Thinking of this, Mio suddenly felt a little worried.
"Of course I'm here to apply to join the light music club, but it's not me, it's the classmate next to me."
Hotaru patted Yui who was standing beside her.
Mio felt relieved, but soon became excited again.
"Join the club?!" ×3
"My name is Yui Hirasawa, you can just call me Yui."
Yui felt a little disappointed that she couldn't find anything to eat, but it was also nice to meet so many cute girls.
After being surprised, Mio, Tsumugi, and Ritsu looked at each other with a gleam in their eyes.
The significance is self-evident.
That is to keep this girl who looks silly and clumsy.
Then, Ritsu suddenly became serious.
She straightened up, crossed her legs, and snapped her fingers again.
"Tsumugi, serve tea."
"Okay~"
Tsumugi smiled sweetly, then stood up to prepare tea.
After a while, a small and exquisite cake and a cup of steaming black tea were placed in front of each person.
The tableware looks very high-end.
"Please enjoy your meal."
Tsumugi smiled with her eyes narrowed. It seemed that she really enjoyed preparing food for everyone.
Yui's eyes suddenly lit up, "Thank you!"
Sure enough, Hotaru did not lie to her, there were really delicious foods here.
Then, Yui couldn't resist the temptation of food and couldn't wait to taste the afternoon tea.
Hotaru's eyes also lit up, and she picked up the cup and took a sip of black tea.
It smells so good.
That's right!
This is the treatment you should enjoy when you come to the light music club.
Seeing that the two were successfully attracted by the food, the other three girls showed satisfied expressions.
Mio: "Excuse me, what instrument does Yui-san play?"
Yui swallowed a bite of cake and said, "It's delicious. I can play the castanets."
"And call me Yui, because I call you Mio too."
Mio blushed. This was too fast, but she still managed to say, "Well, Yui..."
Ritsu showed a surprised look: "Castanets?"
Yui's heart skipped a beat. Wait, if I don't know how to play any musical instrument, I won't be able to join this fun club.
However, Ritsu's next words put her at ease.
"That's absolutely fine. Even if you don't know how to play any instruments, you can still join the light music club."
I always feel that the requirements of the light music club are a bit low, but Mio continued to ask.
"Why did Yui join the light music club?"
Yui had already finished eating the cake in front of her and looked at the untouched piece of cake on Hotaru's table.
"Because Hotaru said it's free here..."
Yui suddenly realized halfway through her speech that it wasn't a good idea to say that.
"Free?"
Mio tilted her head.
"Because I like relaxing music."
"Oh, relaxing music. It seems this is Yui's understanding of the light music club."
This answer seemed to satisfy Mio.
"One last question. The light music club is currently short of a guitarist. Are you willing?"
Ritsu asked directly.
"I'll try my best!"
Yui swore solemnly.
Great! The light music club's crisis of being eliminated has been resolved.
Ritsu was a little excited, because now she was the minister in full sense of the word.
Immediately afterwards, Ritsu quickly took out the application form for joining the club and Yui signed her name.
"Welcome!" ×3
Applause breaks out...
…
Hotaru felt relieved upon seeing this.
She finished the last sip of black tea, stood up and said, "I'll leave Yui to you. I'm leaving first."
"Are you leaving? No more drinks?"
Tsumugi looked a little regretful.
"Hotaru, don't you want to join us?"
Yui asked curiously.
"Me? Didn't I bring you here?"
Hotaru stopped.
"Will you join us?"
Yui said coquettishly.
Hotaru shook her head, "I can't."
"But you clearly joined the astronomy department of Nijika."
"Yeah, I already have a club."
Hotaru was even more confused.
"Then why don't you join the light music club with me? You are biased."
After saying that, Yui picked up the cake that Hotaru had not touched and began to gobble it up.
Hotaru was stunned. Wait, this is not right!
Seeing this, Ritsu, who was standing by, became more active.
I never said I would let you go!
She pulled Mio and Tsumugi over and whispered.
"I heard that the club's funding is tied to the number of members. If we can get Hotaru-san to stay, we'll have even more money! So..."
Although Tsumugi was not interested in money, she became very interested after hearing it.
Mio was a little shy, "But, Hotaru is a girl..."
"Mio, don't you want to buy a new tuner? As long as you have the funds, you can buy anything you want!"
Ritsu said seductively.
After a symbolic struggle, Mio compromised.
"Yeah, watch me do it!"
Ritsu nodded with satisfaction.
…
"Hotaru-san, don't go!"
Before Hotaru could move, Ritsu slid to the ground, hugged Hotaru's thigh and shouted loudly.
Seeing that Ritsu was acting so unpresentable, Mio subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop her.
But thinking about what Ritsu said just now.
For money, for tuners.
Mio bit her lip and held back.
Hotaru was shocked by Ritsu's behavior.
"What are you doing?"
Hotaru pulled at her legs, trying to pull her foot out, but found that she couldn't move it.
You drummers are really strong.
"If you don't join, our light music club will be disbanded!"
Sensing the struggle, Ritsu increased her strength.
"Disband the department?!"
"Wait, let me go first."
Hotaru said helplessly.
"Yeah, if you don't have five people, you can't apply to become a club. You don't want the club you just joined to disband, do you?"
Ritsu said seriously and played the emotional card.
Yui finished eating the cake excitedly. She didn't expect there was such a rule. It's great!
Huh? Is that so?
Hotaru remembered that four people were enough to meet the minimum criteria for establishing a club.
"Wouldn't four people be enough?"
Ritsu's face darkened. "Ah...ah, that was last year's rule! As you know, the school has expanded its enrollment, so it's now five people. Believe me."
Ritsu became more and more confident as she spoke, just like me!
When Hotaru heard this, it seemed to make sense.
But it feels weird.
So, do I really have to join the light music club? Or find someone else?
Otherwise, the light music club would be abolished, or like Nijika's astronomy club, it would be downgraded to a fan club.
But it seems that downgrading to a fan club has no impact?
Let's call it Light Music Club from now on.
No, no, you will be scolded.
Hotaru turned her gaze towards Mio and Tsumugi.
Yui ignored the fact that she couldn't possibly know the club's rules.
"Is that so? Five people?"
Tsumugi blushed and replied, "Yes!"
After saying this, Tsumugi seemed a little excited.
It seems like it feels pretty good to tell a lie for the first time!
Mio blushed and lowered her head, pursing her lips in an inaudible voice, "Hmm... it seems so."
Oh my God, how did Ritsu manage to lie so confidently?
Mio had a lot of thoughts in her mind.
At this moment, Ritsu looked like she was sure of victory.
Like?
These two fools were obviously not good at lying. Hotaru felt that Ritsu was fooling her, but she had no evidence, so she exploded:
"You two are lying!"
Ah, I've been discovered.
"Amazing!"
Tsumugi looked even more excited.
"I'm sorry, we shouldn't have lied to you."
Unable to bear the moral accusation in her heart, Mio confessed directly.
"Wait, Mio, Tsumugi..."
Damn, I didn't expect this girl to be so difficult to deal with.
Seeing that being soft didn't work, Ritsu simply gave up pretending.
"You've seen my panties... If you don't join, I'll..."
Ritsu gritted her teeth, cried in a sobbing voice, and had tears in her eyes.
Tsumugi also joined in, glaring at Hotaru in pretended anger.
"Stop!"
"Don't wipe your tears and snot..."
Hotaru was embarrassed and quickly raised her hand to stop her, even though she knew that this girl was acting.
But the acting is so realistic!
Ritsu, it's really a waste of your talent to let you stay in the light music department.
Maybe the drama club is more suitable for you.
"You what?"
"Please, I'll do anything if you join the light music club!"
