While I was away from the bakery, Rei-chan carried the pastries Ruriko and Agnes made from the mansion.
Then, the girls in the mansion continue making the next batch.
Okay, thanks
I thanked her too.
So, how’s the job?
Rei-chan asks Kurose Anju.
She just became my bodyguard.
No, uhm, I feel like I’m already busy trying not to be an obstacle
Kurose Anju replies.
I like that honest personality of hers.
That’s a good start, good luck Yes, thank you
Rei-chan encourages her, and Kurose Anju’s face loosened up.
Well, since Reika-san’s already here, why don’t we baton pass to her now?
Margo-san?
I think I should stay here as the coordinator
Yeah, Edie’s school swimsuit judo tournament has a lot of changes needed.
Even the broadcast staff issue wasn’t resolved without Margo-san’s input.
Besides, Sugimura from earlier is gone now, but there could be some more weird guys from TV trying to interrupt the show.
I think that it’ll be easier for Edie just from seeing that I’m around
Edie’s going to be in charge of running the whole convention but Margo-san’s in charge on top of that to make sure everything goes smoothly.
I’m free for a while
Rei-chan has time before she delivers the next pastry from the mansion.
Why don’t you take the girls to the music room and hear the sisters play? Frankly, classical music is too much for me, and Reika-oneesan’s much better at it, right?
Margo-san knows more about jazz or rock music if you ask me.
Rei-chan likes the old British culture and often goes to classical music concerts as part of her job as a bodyguard.
I’m not that knowledgeable when it comes to making music critique however But still, if you could, Onee-san
Margo-san smiled.
Okay, if you ask. Let’s go. Where’s the music room This way?
I’m the only one here who knows the location of the music room since I’m a student.
I guided everyone to the school building.
Saito-san and Manager-san, come with me, I’ll introduce you to Mori-san Yes, please take care of me!
Margo-san walks towards Mori-san of Burnham Woods Sports Video with Saito Yuki and her manager, Fujimori-san.
Apart from Margo-san and Rei-chan swapping.
The members of the group remained the same, Mariko, Tsukiko, Kurose Anju, Marika, Erica, the Matsumoto Siblings, Igarashi Izumi, and me.
We’re walking in the school building
Fujimiya Reika! No way! She looks thinner than on TV! Wow, so cool!
Rei-chan’s appearance surprised the students and visitors outside who came to visit the school festival.
I mean, since Rei-chan came to the schoolyard, more than ten spectators followed us, entering the school building, and more followed on the way.
Reika-oneesama’s so popular
Mariko said.
I.
You’ve been quiet outside, Mariko
Usually, Mariko doesn’t read the mood and just speaks up, but.
It was strange that she’s been quiet since Margo-san dealt with the TV crew and such.
That’s because Margo-oneesama’s scary
Margo-san’s scary?
She’s smiling all the time, but I feel like if she gets angry, she’ll be the scariest person I’ve ever met. That’s why I just kept quiet
Oh, Margo-san’s master is Kyouko-san after all.
If you think naively and be careless in front of her, she’ll take it out on you that it won’t be a joke anymore.
We’ve been together for long already so I know
Mariko, together for long?
It’s only been a month since we’ve met.
While we were talking, we arrived at the music room at the back of the third floor of the west school building.
Excuse me
I knocked on the music room door as a student of this school.
The music clubs are playing in the auditorium right now so.
This music room should be just a waiting room for now.
Yes? What? Woah, it’s Fujimiya Reika!
A student comes out of the music room door and is surprised.
Hello. Can we come in?
Rei-chan smiles.
I believe Margo Starkweather-san was a graduate of this school, and she asked Otani-san, the music teacher to use the room for a bit.
Rei-chan knows about that.
That just means that she was listening to the conversation in the school cafeteria from the mansion.
You can monitor everything in the school from there.
Uhm, Ootani-sensei went somewhere else after hearing that Margo-san senpai is coming
The schoolgirl who opened the door replied.
Oh, Margo-san had an incident with him in the past.
That’s why he escaped from the music room so he doesn’t meet her.
That’s unfortunate. Margo-san’s in the schoolyard, preparing for the martial arts tournament at three, that’s why I came here in her stead Uhm, why don’t we go inside first?
Mariko tells the girl after seeing the spectators continue to increase.
Ah, yes. Osaki-senpai, is that okay? It’s Fujimiya Reika-san
The schoolgirl asks permission from the senior student inside the room.
I don’t get what’s going on but please, come in
A girl with glasses and braids come out from the back and told us.
Then, excuse us Excuse
Rei-chan goes first and our group went inside
There are about fifteen girls in the room.
Wow, it’s Fujimiya Reika The real one?
They started cheering, even inside the room.
Oh, only until the girl over there. Everyone else is irrelevant
As soon as Kurose Anju, the last one in our group enters the room, Mariko tells Osaki-san
Hey, Osaki, let us in too!
One of the onlooker guys told her but.
No, no unrelated people inside!
Then, Osaki-san closed the door.
I’m the head of the choir club, Osaki Zenko
Osaki-san greeted Rei-chan.
Good Day, I’m Fujimiya Reika from Kouzuki SS I know about Fujimiya-san
Well, nearly everyone in Japan already knows her.
So, what’s your business in the music room?
Osaki-san asks us.
Well, can you do the explaining?
Rei-chan passes the baton to me
Uhm, well it’s a little complicated but the short version is that we want to borrow the piano The piano?
Osaki-san’s surprised.
Well, that’s because we just have to hear Matsumoto-san’s performance She’s not a student of our school, why would we make her play the piano in our music room?
Osaki-san speaks harshly, but.
Osaki-san, lets them, look at their uniform i know about them, it’s the uniform of that famous music high school Uhm, my cousin tried applying for it but she failed Their performance must be on a high level
Marika’s school seems to be well known among the students who do music in our school.
This is Matsumoto Maki-san, she’s the top one in our school’s piano department
Marika speaks proudly.
We just need her to play one song, please
I bow my head to Osaki-san
Just one, okay? I understand, please go ahead
Osaki-san reluctantly agreed.
Then, I will borrow
Matsumoto-san, the elder, bows her head to the choir club girls.
Then.
Miki-san, let’s play together
She tells her sister
Yes.
Matsumoto Miki-san goes with her sister to the piano, carrying her violin case with great care.
Matsumoto Maki-san opens the piano and started preparing for her performance.
Miki-san also opened her case and took her violin.
Wow, that looks expensive
One of the choir girls saw Miki-san’s violin and said.
Maki-san presses a piano key and it makes a sound.
Miki-san also makes a light flick to check the tune.
Piano’s tuned
Marika tells me after hearing Maki-san testing it.
Marika’s also playing piano so she can tell just from hearing that.
