She stomped over and sat down She was quite sweaty

Huh Didn’t I leave your lunch on the table

It was next to the sink I spent forever looking

Oh Sorry But isn’t that one of the first places you would look

Uuh Well I was running late after going back to sleep

I knew it

thought Mutsuki with a bitter smile

Ange wrinkled her brow in annoyance but she was not the type to complain when

it was her own fault She fell silent and looked the other way

Then their teacher arrived and the time for chatting ended

I need to make two wakeup calls from now on

decided Mutsuki

(Ange went back to sleep)

Did that mean she had been out somewhere during the night again

That one concern stuck with him

The morning was the most exhausting time but Mutsuki also had to carry out

Ren’s instructions during the cultural festival homeroom during 6th period

It had been a difficult day Since the homeroom took up both 5th and 6th period today he had been called to the Student Council Room during lunch And not all of his tasks were physical labor like that morning Umm

Megutono Academy had more than 20 school buildings so there were a lot one would never visit during a normal life there

Building East 2 on the northeast of the grounds was one of those

It was generally known as the Music Building It was 3-stories tall and all of the rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floor were used for music rooms The 3rd floor contained a few larger music rooms for the brass band and the choir The 2nd floor contained smaller classrooms but they had been soundproofed and filled with acoustic equipment for the clubs that wanted to start bands Simply put the entire building had been made into a gathering place for those who loved musical instruments

Mutsuki was not all that interested in music so he never had to go there

But for those in a band the cultural festival was the most important time of year and he was assisting with the preparation for the exciting season

Please write your requested time on this form and drop it off at the Student Council Room by afterschool Friday

Sure thing

Feeling glad they seemed nice Mutsuki finished his task stepped outside and sighed

His job today was to confirm the number of clubs and bands that wanted to perform in the gym during the cultural festival

All he had to do was bring them the form but

(Uuh this makes me so nervous)

He had trouble with people he did not know and he was hesitant to knock when they were practicing music so this was a difficult task for him

That’s the brass band and choir done Next is

His mood grew dark when he thought about where he was going next

The 2nd floor was for individuals who had formed a band instead of more traditional clubs

While the 3rd floor had been built for music in the first place the 2nd floor had modified normal classrooms into music rooms so it had an entirely different atmosphere The hallway was full of large equipment and instruments so there must have been nowhere else to store them A few of the windows were covered with soundproofing material so it was dark Plus this was a haunt for rock bands

This was only Mutsuki’s personal image of rock bands but he assumed he would have to face slender macho men with spiky hair who dressed skimpily to show off their bodies

This boy had overcome threats to his life in conflicts involving angels and demons but he was still afraid of that type

Excuse mee

He hesitantly knocked on the first door

He would wait a few seconds If no one answered the door could he report to Ren that no one was there He felt like that would be dishonest but

Yes Ahnwhat is it

The door opened

Rudely enough Mutsuki felt his fears had been confirmed when he saw the girl who opened the door

She was from the high school Her hair had been bleached a nearly-white brown and her skin was well tanned Her eyes were accentuated by extreme mascara and she had color contacts in so he naturally flinched back upon seeing her She was what was known as a black gal Mutsuki had heard there were a few of those in the high school but he had never seen one up close since there were none in the middle school He grew flustered Um I-I’m from the Student Council It’s about the cultural festival

He wanted to get this over with as quickly as possible so he handed her the form and explained how to fill it out

He glanced inside the room and found it had been remade into their personal studio It did not look at all like part of a school They had brought a sofa and table in and Silvia was written on the wall with laminate letters That may have been their band name The band had 4 members including the one that had answered the door They must have been a group of gals because 3 of them had skin tanned at a salon and bleached wavy hair There were some slight differences in their fashion such as wearing a scarf and knit hat despite the heat or having a tear sticker next to just one eye Mutsuki’s eyes naturally turned toward the last one a less stylish girl sitting quietly in the back

Fujita

Eh Oh Niki

He realized she was a classmate

It was Niki Hozumi from his class He recalled that she was playing in a band for

the cultural festival This seemed to be that band

Eh What’s this Is he a friend of yours Nikki

Is he your boyfriend Well is he C’mere you

The other 3 grew excited and pulled him inside

They had him sit on the sofa and then two of them sat on either side of him The club president sat across the table from him

Hm you’re pretty cute So Nikki is this the Satowa boy you were talking about

N-no This is um Fujita

The other three were upperclassmen so even strong-willed Hozumi grew obedient here

Mutsuki froze up at the sudden turn of events

The three older girls seemed to subscribe to the idea that a friend of a friend was a friend because they grew overly familiar Most notably they moved quite close

They brought their faces in close while ignoring how their boobs and thighs pressed against him

I’m jealous Nikki We don’t have any guys this cute in our class

Na ha ha He’s blushing I like this kid He’s just my type

Um um

Trapped between them Mutsuki had no idea what to do

Sitting in the seat across from him the club president suggestively sucked a lollipop with her thick lips as she casually read through the form He had to stick around until she understood it

(N-not so close Your boobs are touching me Niki help me Niki-saan)

He sought Hozumi’s help but as the underclassman of the club she only smiled bitterly

All in all the high school gals molested him for 15 minutes

It was 30 minutes after that when Mutsuki trudged back to the Student Council Room

Just as he had feared he had run across people with spiky hair and lots of makeup but he had fortunately found them to be normal people when he spoke with them From there the explanations had gone smoothly That said he was still exhausted when he left the Music Building

(Personal clothing and piercings Hard to believe they’re from the same school)

Mutsuki was in a bit of a daze

The members of Silvia in the first room had left the strongest impression

He had no prejudices against black gals Even if hers was natural he had a roommate with the same color of skin

But it embarrassed him when they approached him so unreservedly

The band members were Nikki (ie Niki Hozumi) Mami Amu and Teruyo (The others had not told him their real names) They were searching for a male vocalist for the cultural festival and they wanted Lucia After hearing Mutsuki was friends with him they had asked him to help convince Lucia Did that mean he would meet them again

While hoping Nikki would get the other three to give up he entered the main building

But despite the trouble he had with them his skin felt like it was on fire

They were hot And even if they had not been having 3 girls pressing up against him would do that

Plus the dark skin of those black gals played a role
