It was another peaceful day.
In the morning, Liu Ming, Sora, and Kyoko walked together towards the school.
Since it was Kyoko's first day at school, even though she was going to the same middle school as Sora, Liu Ming felt it was better to go and see her off.
Xiao Hina, on the other hand, was sent to school by Tohru.
"Sora, have you found a suitable club?" Liu Ming looked at Sora beside him.
Sora shook her head and then nodded, seemingly feeling that she hadn't expressed herself clearly. She said, "I originally planned to continue joining the choir, but in the end, a classmate pulled me into the Light Music Club."
"Light Music Club?" Liu Ming felt that name sounded very familiar.
"Well, the president, how should I put it, is a bit too enthusiastic, I should say, overly enthusiastic, and the other members are the same. They offered tea and snacks, and I just couldn't refuse," Sora said with a wry smile, recalling the scene during the visit, feeling like it was full of tricks.
"The president is Tainaka Ritsu, and the other members are Akiyama Mio and Kotobuki. Hirasawa Yui and I are both new members, and we also couldn't resist their sugar-coated bullets, so we ended up getting roped in," Sora said helplessly.
Liu Ming nodded, already understanding what was going on.
It really was that Light Music Club.
What puzzled him was that these events weren't supposed to happen in high school, so how did these few people meet in middle school?
However, it didn't matter. Liu Ming knew that Sora used to be in the choir and loved to sing.
Although she had joined the Light Music Club now, she seemed very happy, and the Light Music Club also allowed her to sing, so there wasn't much difference.
"The Light Music Club should perform in the form of a band, right? What instrument do you play?"
Liu Ming couldn't help but be curious. He seemed to have never seen Sora practice an instrument at home.
"No instrument, actually. I'm just the lead vocalist and don't need to use an instrument, and I don't know how to play one either," Sora waved her hands repeatedly, looking a little embarrassed.
"How can that be? As a member of a band, how can you not play an instrument? You wouldn't want to alienate your friends because of this, would you?"
Sora's eyes widened, and she asked doubtfully, "Will it be like that?"
Liu Ming started to blather, "Of course! Think about it: when everyone is discussing instruments, you can only stand by and watch. When everyone is dancing freely together, you can only hold a microphone on the side. When everyone is adjusting the instrument's sound, you can only watch. When everyone…"
When Sora heard the beginning, she somewhat agreed, but the more she listened, the more something felt off. She felt like Liu Ming was trying to trick her.
However, she also agreed with Liu Ming's words. Everyone in the Light Music Club had their own instrument. If she was the only one without one, it would always feel a bit strange.
It's just that she really didn't know how to play an instrument.
"Uncle, do you know how to play any instruments?" Sora couldn't help but look at Liu Ming. In her perception, there seemed to be nothing Liu Ming didn't know.
Liu Ming was stunned. Apparently, he didn't know how to play an instrument.
But if he said that directly, wouldn't the image of the wise and mighty Uncle he had maintained be ruined?
He gently patted Sora's head and said, "What I know isn't important. What's important is what you like."
At the same time, he secretly thought, "I wonder if instruments count as equipment. It seems I need to find some time to look online. If I find some items left behind by music masters, I can see if I can find corresponding skills."
However, he quickly realized that his goal was to live a leisurely, carefree life. Did he really need to push himself this hard?
But when he saw Sora's expectant expression for the future, he didn't think it was so bad after all.
This time, he looked at the other person, "What about Kyoko? What kind of club are you interested in?"
"What's a club?" Kyoko asked confusedly. In fact, she had had this question from the beginning, but seeing them talking so excitedly, she didn't want to interrupt.
"It's a group formed by people with similar interests and hobbies, a kind of after-school activity. You can choose a club you're interested in at school to enrich your school life," Liu Ming explained and then offered some advice.
"But I don't seem to have any hobbies," Kyoko scratched her head.
"No rush, you're only in junior high, so you can take your time," Liu Ming comforted her, rubbing her head.
Soon, they arrived at the school. Because Liu Ming had to take Kyoko to report to the teacher first, he parted ways with Sora.
"Chu~" Kyoko suddenly turned to look at the school gate.
"Oh~ It's Kyoko," Chu also saw Kyoko, and her expression subtly changed.
Liu Ming also looked over. After seeing Chu's appearance, his eyebrow twitched, and he looked with a bit of sympathy at the man standing next to Chu.
He must be Nitta Yoshifumi, raising a living ancestor at such a young age.
Nitta looked at Kyoko strangely. He asked, "Haven't you gone back yet?"
Kyoko shook her head, "The teleportation device broke, so I was forced to stay here."
"Kyoko, do you know each other?" Liu Ming walked over.
"Yes, she's Chu, and he's Nitta, who took Chu in," Kyoko said, pointing at the two.
"Hello, I'm Liu Ming. Kyoko is staying with me now," Liu Ming extended his hand and shook Nitta's.
Nitta immediately showed a moved expression. He gripped Liu Ming's hand tightly, "I understand, I truly understand. You've really had it tough."
Liu Ming blinked blankly. The other person seemed to have misunderstood something.
Kyoko isn't Chu!
Although Kyoko didn't have much common sense, she was very sensible and incredibly diligent, almost like an angel.
Unlike Chu, who was practically the epitome of an ancestor.
But seeing Nitta's empathetic expression, he couldn't bring himself to explain, as it would be too crushing.
Chu looked at Kyoko and said, "It would be great if Kyoko and I could be in the same class."
Kyoko's expression brightened, then quickly turned into an annoyed look, and she retorted, "Don't joke around! We're enemies. I don't want to be in the same class as you."
Xiao Hina's expression was as blank as ever. She said, "But I want to go to school with Kyoko."
Kyoko immediately looked unnatural and said angrily, "I told you, we are enemies."
"But~" Xiao Hina still wanted to say something.
"Manager, let's go quickly~" Kyoko turned around in annoyance and ran forward.
Liu Ming nodded to the two of them, then quickly followed.
