Anime Crossover Band, Rock Girl Won't Let Me Go

Chapter 43 Blue and White Bowl

After school.

Light-tone section.

Since the band hadn't needed to practice recently, Bai Qiu joined the light music club.

The girls in the Light Music Club, of course, warmly welcomed this.

However, it seems the Light Music Club has absolutely no intention of practicing.

The comfortable environment, coupled with the cups of hot black tea served by Miss Kotobuki, and the very high-end-looking matcha cake.

Without realizing it, everyone began to enjoy themselves.

"Ah! That feels so good!"

Ritsu Tainaka leaned back in his chair, resting the back of his head on his hands, leisurely enjoying the air conditioning.

Because of the school merger, the classrooms have been renovated and air conditioning has been installed.

Therefore, even next summer, it's unlikely that the scene from the original story, where everyone gets so hot that they change into their swimsuits in the classroom, will occur.

"Working is really too hard."

"Uh-huh!"

Except for Tsumugi, everyone nodded in agreement.

"I really admire those people who work part-time every day."

Bai Qiu sighed, "Indeed, it's better to stay at home and write light novels!"

"Speaking of which, haven't we received our club funds yet, Law?"

Akiyama Mio looked at Tainaka Ritsu with a puzzled expression and asked, "I heard that other clubs have already received their funding."

Logically speaking, the Light Music Club should have received it too.

The fact that they hadn't received funding for a long time was one of the reasons why the members of the Light Music Club decided to take on part-time jobs.

"Ah, well! Maybe we have too much funding, so the disbursement is a bit slow."

The team leader waved his hand, seemingly indifferent but also somewhat smug.

Because she invited Bai Qiu into the club, which provided additional funding.

"But I heard that the wind band has already received funding."

Akiyama Mio raised her index finger and placed it on her chin to explain, "If we're talking about numbers, the brass band obviously has more members."

"Huh? Really?"

The team leader was slightly taken aback.

"So, you should still ask, Ritsu."

Mio Akiyama reminded him, lest Ritsu try to slack off again.

"Okay, okay, I get it."

The funds haven't been disbursed? Bai Qiu only just found out about this.

"Wait, could it be that you've forgotten something?"

Suddenly remembering something, Bai Qiu asked.

Everyone looked at Bai Qiu with suspicion.

Law: "Forget what?"

"For example, an application to establish a club or a funding application?"

Bai Qiu wasn't sure if there was such a thing as a funding application form, since he had never run a club before.

However, I remember that in the original story, the captain forgot to submit the club application form.

If you can't even establish a club, then there's no point in talking about funding!

"Ah! This...this..."

Ritsu Tainaka suddenly put down his leisurely hand and became inexplicably nervous.

"How could this be!"

Lu felt a bit sweaty.

Bai Qiu and Qiu Shanmiao exchanged a glance.

It seems they've figured something out.

Hirasawa Yui and Kotobuki Tsumugi were still confused and looked puzzled.

Mio Akiyama suddenly stood up and walked towards the extra desks in the classroom.

"Wait, Mio, what are you doing?!"

Ritsu Tainaka grabbed Mio Akiyama's leg with astonishing speed.

"Let me check the drawers in the table."

"Idiot Ritsu, let go of me!"

Akiyama Mio struggled, but being suddenly hugged like this, with so many people around, made her feel somewhat ashamed.

"No, there's nothing to see!"

Lu hugged her even tighter.

We absolutely cannot let anyone see this, otherwise, where will we put our face?

After everyone leaves, just secretly hand it in and pretend nothing happened!

Kotobuki Tsumugi's eyes lit up. How beautiful it is between girls!

"Bai, Bai Qiu, please help me."

Akiyama Mio pointed to the table, pleading for help from Shiraaki, who was closest to her.

"no no!!"

Tainaka Ritsu released Akiyama Mio and stepped forward to try to stop Shiraaki.

This time, however, it was Akiyama Mio's turn to hug her, preventing her from moving forward.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Qiu said loudly,

"Give up the struggle!"

"Xiao Lu, classmate."

Bai Qiu had already pulled out several sheets of A4 paper from the drawer of the table.

Among them was one that had been torn in half.

It's over! It's over!

He even demoted me from the law team to a junior law student.

Ritsu Tainaka lowered his hands, his face filled with despair, and gave up struggling.

.........

Back to the tea table.

Several sheets of A4 paper were on the table.

These are the application form for the establishment of the Light Music Club and the application form for each individual to join the club.

And... Akiyama Mio's application to join the Literature Club, which was torn in two.

This was something Ritsu did to prevent Mio from joining the Literature Club.

Everyone looked at the brand-new applications, and then all turned to look at Ritsu Tainaka.

"Hahaha! I can't believe I actually forgot to hand it in... Hahahaha..."

Ritsu Tainaka awkwardly scratched the back of his head and laughed.

"What an unreliable, idiot Rule!"

"I'm annoyed," Akiyama Mio said, then added a reminder.

Remember to hand it in after school today!

"I understand, I understand, leave it to me!"

Ritsu Tainaka patted her chest and assured them. Seeing her confident expression, Shiraaki and Mio Akiyama became even more worried.

Bai Qiu picked up the application for establishment and glanced at it, then his lips twitched. Sure enough...

"Wait, we're still missing a department mentor."

Bai Qiu pointed to a blank space that had not been filled in.

"Eh??"

Do you still need a teacher?

Ritsu Tainaka asked in bewilderment, "Shouldn't clubs be places where students can have fun?"

Everyone was stunned, and their scrutinizing gazes turned to the law.

"I was wrong! Waaah X﹏X!"

Ritsu cried out in Tianjing.

Then, after discussion, mainly under Bai Qiu's guidance,

Ultimately, they decided to contact the grade's music teacher.

Sawako Yamanaka, who is beautiful, has a sweet voice, and is very gentle, serves as the instructor of the Light Music Club.

Originally, Ritsu Tainaka planned to have Shizuka Hiratsuka as his mentor.

The reason is that with Shizuka Hiratsuka around, the Light Music Club won't be bullied by other clubs.

Fortunately, Bai Qiu argued her case, and no one would bully the Light Music Club.

So it was rejected.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating.

Akiyama Mio pondered for a moment, then somewhat embarrassedly offered her advice.

"Everyone, practice..."

"Hey, Mio, there's no rush for practice."

Ritsu Tainaka has returned to his lazy demeanor.

"It's a rare treat for Qiu Jun to come all this way, wouldn't it be nice if we all had some tea and a chat?"

Lu winked at Bai Qiu.

Akiyama Mio looked helplessly at Shiraaki.

"How about we practice for a while?"

Bai Qiu hesitated for a moment before saying that he was quite looking forward to the girls' performance.

And Wei Gang must really want to play the guitar now that he's gotten it.

Wait, at this point, Yui doesn't seem to know how to play the guitar!

However, the words had already been spoken.

"Thank you, Bai Qiu."

Akiyama Mio looked delighted.

She suddenly realized that recruiting Bai Qiu into the Light Music Club might have been the most reliable decision Lu made back then!

Ritsu Tainaka's expression changed; she had actually been betrayed!

Everyone got up and took out their musical instruments.

"and many more!"

Suddenly, Lu noticed something, and then a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"What is it now, you idiot Ritsu?!"

"Hey Mio, you just called out to Bai Qiu, right?"

Akiyama Mio tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.

Then a bad feeling crept into my heart, could it be...?

"And Qiu-kun, you've always called him Qiu-shan-kun, right?"

"I'm talking to you two!"

"We've always been classmates, calling each other that."

"They were very respectful, just like an old married couple who treated each other with the utmost courtesy."

"We're all good friends in the same department, wouldn't it be better to just call each other by our first names?"

Ritsu Tainaka shouted loudly, his expression playful.

"You all agree, right? Yui, Tsumugi."

"Uh-huh!"

"support!"

Yui and Tsumugi also thought it made a lot of sense.

An elderly couple?!

These three words almost made Akiyama Mio faint.

"Law... Law... Law... Law... Law! What... What are you saying..."

Akiyama Mio glanced at Shirai Aki, and when their eyes met, her face instantly turned bright red, her eyes became swollen like mosquito coils, and she began to speak incoherently.

"Mio, if you're feeling awkward, Aki-kun, please go first."

"Just like us, you can say 'mio'."

Lu Dui turned his body to the side and bumped into Bai Qiu.

"Ah this..."

Bai Qiu coughed and looked at Qiu Shanmiao.

Akiyama Mio seemed to be somewhat confused.

Although I think this is a great assist from Ritsu, I wonder if she'll just faint!

If she faints, that would be a real problem.

Everyone around was already looking over expectantly.

"Hurry up!"

"Yeah!" x2

"mio".

Bai Qiu spoke softly.

Steam rose from Akiyama Mio's head, and her cheeks turned bright red all the way to her ears.

"Oh!"

Ritsu Tainaka looked at Mio Akiyama with a teasing expression.

"Your turn, Mio-chan~"

The pressure was put on Akiyama Mio.

"You can be called Xiao Qiu, just like me!"

"I'm so happy," Hirasawa Yui said.

"You can't practice if you don't shout it out."

The lawyer continued.

"practise……"

"practise……"

"I...I...I understand!"

"It's just a name!"

Unable to endure Ritsu's teasing any longer, Akiyama Mio shouted.

then,

Looking at Bai Qiu, Akiyama Mio lost the courage to speak loudly again.

"Bai...Bai Qiu...Jun..."

Akiyama Mio didn't even know what she had said in her dazed state.

Ritsu Tainaka originally wanted her to drop her surname.

However, under Akiyama Mio's scornful and indignant gaze, Tainaka Ritsu actually backed down a bit. Fine, let's call it a day!

come back next time.

After a moment, Akiyama Mio quickly took out her bass guitar and used it to cover her face, trying to hide her embarrassment.

"Wow, Elizabeth!"

Hirasawa Yui suddenly shouted at her bass.

"Huh? No, it's not Elizabeth!"

At this moment, Bai Qiu also took out an electronic keyboard.

To be honest, this was the first time the girls had ever seen Bai Qiu's musical instrument.

Ritsu: "So Qiu-kun is a keyboardist too!"

Kotobuki Tsumugi also looked at Shiraaki with curiosity.

Hirasawa Yui stroked her chin and began to think seriously.

The piano has a blue body and white keys.

Blue and white.

Hirasawa Yui's eyes lit up immediately.

"Blue and white bowls!"

???

What are you talking about? Everyone looked at Hirasawa Yui with puzzled expressions.

Akiyama Mio trembled and shrank back.

Bai Qiu couldn't help but wonder if this plot was a bit too early.

"Blue and white bowls."

"Let's name Xiaoqiu's zither 'Blue and White Bowl'!"

"How about it?"

Yui Hirasawa excitedly explained that she was very happy to have chosen such a beautiful name.

"Hahahaha...!!"

Ritsu Tainaka paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"I disagree!"

Bai Qiu, who knew what blue and white bowls were, immediately protested.

Let's not even talk about giving it a domineering and unique name.

It can't possibly be called... a blue and white bowl!

Akiyama Mio felt a chill beneath her skirt and hugged her bass tightly, as if that would give her a sense of security.

She tried her best to appear calm, as if she knew nothing.

Ritsu Tainaka, who knew her best, quickly noticed the anomaly.

After a moment's thought, the lawyer's eyes darted around, and a smile soon returned to her lips.

She's up to something again.

Immediately afterwards, Ritsu suddenly whispered something in Akiyama Mio's ear.

"Mio, you wouldn't be wearing... today..."

"Uh...uuuu..."

Akiyama Mio quickly covered Tainaka Ritsu's mouth.

Her complexion, which had not yet regained its fair color, flushed red again.

Ritsu Tainaka struggled with all her might.

"Let... um... let me finish... mio..."

However, how could Akiyama Mio allow that? Instead, she covered it up even more tightly.

Ritsu Tainaka resisted fiercely, broke free of his restraints and ran away, then opened his mouth to shout.

I can't take it anymore!

Akiyama Mio, holding her bass, tried to stop her, and the two began chasing each other through the classroom.

Bai Qiu and Hei Zewei were arguing about the name of the musical instrument.

"However, you should not name other people's musical instruments casually."

But you're not just anyone!

Bai Qiu was taken aback and touched his nose in embarrassment, but he quickly came to his senses. It couldn't be called a blue and white bowl!

"……That's not OK."

Don't you like the blue and white bowl?

"I don't like it, it doesn't sound good!"

"But Xiaolu is smiling very happily!"

Hirasawa Yui pointed to Ritsu, who was being chased but was still laughing and joking.

"That's because..."

Knowing the reason, Bai Qiu couldn't continue speaking.

Otherwise, Akiyama Mio's company would be dead.

Looking at everyone making a racket.

Simple Kotobuki Tsumugi is somewhat perplexing.

Naive as she was, she didn't know the specific meaning of the blue and white bowls, so she looked at everyone with curiosity.

What is a blue and white bowl?

The classroom was too noisy; no one heard it.

Kotobuki Tsumugi puffed out her cheeks and called out cutely,

"Hey, tell me quickly!"

"only……"

Kotobuki Tsumugi first asked Yui, who had given the name.

"A blue and white bowl is a blue and white bowl!"

Hirasawa answered with a blank expression.

"Qiujun..."

Kotobuki Tsumugi looked at Shiraaki opposite Yui with anticipation.

Bai Qiu was a little embarrassed, "This... I'm not sure what to say..."

"law……"

Ritsu Tainaka ran while panting for breath.

"That...I..."

"I... I'll... tell you later!"

Akiyama Mio quickened her pace to catch up with her.

In a moment of panic, the bass accidentally hit Ritsu Tainaka on the head.

Then, Ritsu Tainaka fainted, and Mio Akiyama finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“mio…”

Kotobuki Tsumugi then looked at Mio.

"what!"

Akiyama Mio shouted in surprise.

Then, she covered her ears, squatted on the ground, and shook her head frantically.

"I don't know... I don't know... I don't know... I don't know anything..."

Everyone asked, but still got nowhere.

Kotobuki looked at Shiraaki and Hirazawa Yui again, stepped forward, grabbed their arms, and said in a coquettish tone,

"I'm so curious, tell me quickly!"

In order not to taint the young lady's pure heart, Bai Qiu chose to remain silent, no matter how cute you are.
