Summary:

What's it like to form a band?

What does it feel like to be a "normie" (a person who is successful in real life)?

Kusano Akira felt he had some authority to speak on these two issues.

Although some unpleasant things happened after the band was formed, he managed to resolve them all without major incidents through his actions.

Like some celebrity girl who's possessed by a strange, earthbound spirit; some flaxen-haired, love-starved girl living in the same building who wants to sabotage her current band and get back her old bandmates; some eccentric girl in class who's been keeping a notebook of his affairs; some pink-haired, socially awkward girl from the next band who plasters her room with inappropriate photos—

Although his instincts told him something was off, he managed to handle things satisfactorily. For someone making friends for the first time, Kusano Akira thought he did a pretty good job.

Lately, his friends have been looking at him with increasingly strange eyes, as if something dangerous might happen at any moment. But that's probably just their imagination.

Aine, what are you doing here? How did you get into my house? What are you doing with that rope? Is it some new game?

Volume 1: Chapter 1. In short, let's form a band.

Years later, whenever Kusano Akira saw that group of Japanese girls staring at him with red eyes in the basement, he would always think of the evening when Chihaya Aine invited him to form a band.

What comes to mind when you think of Japanese high school students?

It really is youth. Boys and girls freely express their smiles under the summer sun, not caring about the future, just acting like fools and enjoying the present, eating, drinking and chatting with their friends every day.

Kusano Akira genuinely envied these people. He also longed to have friends he could get along with and be a silly person enjoying his youth together. Unfortunately, he was unable to do this seemingly easiest thing until high school.

Tokyo, Haneoka Academy

Kusano Akira rested his chin on his hand, his long, slender fingers tapping the desk repeatedly like he was playing a piano, while he listened indifferently to the self-introduction of the new transfer student on the podium.

"My name is Chihaya Aine. I enrolled at this strange time because of family reasons. I hope everyone will take good care of me in the future."

Chihaya Aine stood on the podium and introduced herself. Although it was a very poised and confident speech, her unique voice made the whole thing sound a bit cloying, like eating a cake covered in cream and chocolate sauce in one go.

What a strange voice, and it sounds somewhat familiar. Kusano Akira raised an eyebrow, thinking that he felt like he had heard this voice somewhere before.

"Chihaya, please sit in the empty seat in the last row, to the left of the boy with the black hair." The homeroom teacher pointed to the empty seat next to Kusano Akira, and after assigning Chihaya Aine a seat, she walked up to the podium. "Now, let's begin today's class meeting."

"Chihaya-san, my name is Kusano Akira. Nice to meet you." Kusano Akira greeted Chihaya Aine first, squinting at her. She seemed a little stiff, and her expression was tense, completely unlike the confident and composed person she had been on the podium just moments before.

Meanwhile, Chihaya Aine, standing to the side, responded stiffly to Kusano Akira's greeting, while inwardly screaming in despair.

Even though I deliberately chose a school that's really far away, why do I still run into my junior high classmates?!

[I ran into that weirdo Kusano Akira again. I guess the news of my return to Japan will soon reach all my junior high school classmates...] Chihaya Aine thought to herself, on the verge of tears.

Yes, that's right. Chihaya Aine and Kusano Akira were middle school classmates. Although they didn't talk to each other often, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were practically strangers. But even so, for Chihaya Aine, who didn't want to see her middle school classmates and therefore specifically chose a school where it was least likely that she would have any middle school classmates, seeing him here was not good news.

With a ring, it was time for Haneoka to leave school. The teacher packed up the textbooks and walked out of the classroom. Kusano Akira waited until the teacher left before picking up his bag, taking the keyboard that was placed to the side, and preparing to go home. Just as he stood up, he was stopped by Chihaya Aine, who had been hesitating for a while.

"Um, Kusano-kun, I have something I want to tell you. Could I take up a little of your time?" Aine said with a somewhat forced smile.

"Okay, sure." Although he didn't know why the somewhat familiar transfer student had called him over, Kusano Akira nodded anyway. He was quite free and had nothing to do at home, so he might as well chat with the transfer student and maybe find his first friend.

The two of them then walked to the corridor. Since school had ended a while ago, there were hardly any people in the corridor; it was empty except for the two of them.

"Um... it's been a long time, Kusano-san. I didn't expect you to be at this school too... what a coincidence." Aine said awkwardly, nervously twirling a strand of hair on her forehead with her fingers.

"Long time no see...?" Kusano Akira looked at Aine with a strange expression. Had he met the transfer student before? But why did he have no recollection of it?

Thinking about it carefully, the transfer student's name is Chihaya Aine. If Chihaya Aine hadn't mentioned it, it would have been fine, but after she said it, Kusano Akira felt that the name sounded somewhat familiar.

It feels like I heard that not long ago... If it was not long ago, then it was during the holidays and junior high school. He spent the whole holidays lying at home, so it could only be junior high school...

As if remembering something, Kusano Akira's face stiffened. He quickly placed both hands on Chihaya Aine's shoulders and spoke to her in an almost pleading tone.

"Chihaya-san, please don't tell me what I did in middle school. I'll do anything if you promise me!"

What a blunder! I specifically chose a school far from my junior high school so that I wouldn't run into any of my classmates and could start my school life afresh. But I still ran into them, and it was that super popular Chihaya Aine! Is this the end of my high school life?

Kusano Akira thought to himself with a grim expression, trying his best to calm down.

Chihaya Aine was flustered when Kusano Akira held her shoulder. She tried to break free, feeling uneasy. The two of them were alone in a space with no one else around. Although the school was a public place, she was still a little scared when she thought about Kusano Akira's outrageous behavior during middle school.

But after hearing what Kusano Akira said, her clever mind worked at lightning speed, and she immediately understood the current situation.

This was a golden opportunity! Clenching her fists with excitement, Chihaya Aine felt incredibly lucky. It turned out that Kusano Akira shared the same idea as her!

"Ahem, I can keep it a secret from everyone, but you have to grant me one request."

Chihaya Aine cupped her hand to her mouth like a microphone, coughed twice in a mocking manner, and put on a tolerant expression.

"Please feel free to ask for anything that I can do, Chihaya-san!"

Seeing that Chihaya Aine didn't intend to reveal his embarrassing past from middle school, Kusano Akira excitedly grasped Chihaya Aine's hand.

"Well, I'll keep my request to myself for now, and I'll tell you later." Kusano Akira's hands, with their rough calluses, covered Chihaya Aine's delicate palms. She pulled her hand away, trying to appear calm, but her small, exquisite ears, like works of art, were already flushed.

"I'll be going now, goodbye Kusano-kun!"

After saying that, she walked hurriedly out of the school.

Even though they're high school students, their behavior is still so strange, like suddenly grabbing a girl's hand or something.

While complaining like this, Chihaya Aine ran out of the school. Because of the sudden encounter with Kusano Akira, she had been feeling uneasy all day. Fortunately, she managed to make a few friends on the first day that she could talk to. Her first day of debuting in high school was a success.

Kusano Akira watched Aine's retreating figure and sighed heavily. It was truly a case of failing before even getting started. Even though she had run so far away, she still managed to run into someone who knew her. That person was none other than Chihaya Aine, the student council president from junior high school. Fortunately, she had promised not to reveal her dark history from junior high school, otherwise she would have been treated as a weirdo for another three years in high school.

Service……………………

On the second day, with a heart full of trepidation, Kusano Akira reluctantly walked to the classroom, where Aine was already sitting and chatting with her new friend.

It has to be said that Li is indeed a top-notch socialite who can become the student council president. Even though everyone has their own circles after the start of the semester, he was able to make friends quickly. You know, he has been in school the whole time, but even so, he did not make any friends.

6. Sighing at the vast differences between people, Kusano Akira quietly walked to his seat, carefully pulled out the chair, and lazily lay down on it like a transparent person, as if no one in the classroom noticed his arrival.

After Kusano Akira buried his head in his arms and pretended to sleep, the gray-haired girl in the upper left seat turned around. Her amber eyes stared at him with an indescribable emotion. Her hands were clasped together, and her fingertips rubbed together from time to time, as if she was touching something.

Si kept staring at Kusano Akira until the school bell rang, then slowly turned her head back.

Even when the bell rang, Yoshino Akira reluctantly raised his head. The stern and serious middle-aged teacher had already walked to the platform and opened the thick textbook in his hand. His voice, which seemed to have been marinated in sleeping pills, carried an irresistible drowsiness to the students' ears.

Chihaya Aine is really amazing.

It was early morning, but the students couldn't resist their sleepiness after hearing the teacher's hypnotic voice. Most of them lay on their desks. Kusano Akira forced his tired eyelids open and turned his head to look at Chihaya Aine next to him.

She still looked very energetic, staring intently at the complex mathematical formulas on the podium, nodding occasionally as if in agreement.

Is this the power of the student council president? It's terrifying.

........................

Another day passed. Because school ends early in Japan, it wasn't even dusk outside, let alone night; it was still a bright, clear day.

Chihaya Aine and her newly acquainted girlfriends were chatting happily. They were a bit far away, and Kusano Akira couldn't hear what they were saying, but he could see Chihaya Aine nodding her head excitedly, as if she was imagining something.

Kusano Akira was all too familiar with this image. He often fantasized like this when he couldn't sleep at night, usually about unrealistic things like getting rich overnight or being the center of attention.

But Chihaya Aine probably wouldn't do that. She's not a pathetic creature like me, so she probably wouldn't do something as pathetic as fantasizing in her head.

Huh? Why are you looking at me with such expectant eyes?

Seeing Chihaya Aine blinking her big eyes and looking at him, Kusano Akira instinctively felt that something bad would happen if he didn't run away. He quickly packed his bag, preparing to run out of Chihaya Aine's sight as fast as possible.

"Kasano-kun..."

As soon as Kusano Akira took his first step, Chihaya Aine swiftly blocked his escape route. She stood with her hands on her hips, speaking to Kusano Akira with a triumphant tone.

"What's wrong, Chihaya-san?" Kusano Akira asked, trying to sound calm. His escape plan had failed, and now he could only hope that Chihaya Aine wouldn't make any strange requests.

Although they agreed that he owed Chihaya Aine a request, Kusano Akira, who was actually being held hostage, could only accept any request Chihaya Aine made with tears in his eyes.

Let's form a band!

"Aine said excitedly. The traffic light duo next to her seemed to have heard something important, and looked at Chihaya Aine with admiration. Feeling the gaze of the traffic light duo, Chihaya Aine straightened her back even more.

Oh, it was just forming a band? That scared me to death! I thought you were going to make me go out with a bow and arrow, without eating cat food or bringing any cats, and go hunting Nergigante naked.

Hearing Chihaya Aine's request, Kusano Akira felt relieved. He wasn't against forming a band, since he actually wanted to form one himself, which was why he carried his heavy keyboard to school every day. Unfortunately, it seemed like no one noticed him carrying the keyboard, and no one ever invited him to form a band.

They all started school together, but they've all ended up in their own groups playing in bands. Could it be that they're being ostracized? Probably not, haha…

The more he thought about it, the more he felt like he was being ostracized. Kusano Akira felt the air around him become heavy, and his mood became somewhat depressed. It seemed that even without Chihaya Aine, his high school life was over.

"Is it alright, Dark Axe Keyboardist?" Seeing Kusano Akira's face shifting between sunny and gloomy, Chihaya Aine, who was initially full of confidence, became unsure and simply gritted her teeth and revealed Kusano Akira's embarrassing nickname from his middle school days.

As soon as she said it, Chihaya Aine regretted it. What if Kusano Akira was triggered by her past and directly rejected her request to form a band?

As for that request? That's something we need to keep on hand. Although Kusano Akira doesn't seem to know it yet, what if he suddenly comes to his senses and remembers that Chihaya Aine went abroad? That's when we'll use that request to keep Kusano Akira from telling his other middle school classmates.

As for using this as leverage to threaten Kusano Akira into making more demands? Chihaya Aine wouldn't be that bad; she's a pure and kind girl, she wouldn't do such a thing.

"Please let me join your band!"

Upon hearing Chihaya Aine utter that taboo name, Kusano Akira, no longer concerned with his own negative energy, immediately agreed to Chihaya Aine's band invitation. What if he didn't agree and Chihaya Aine revealed more of her dark past, arousing the curiosity of his high school classmates?

"Huh? Oh, oh."

Chihaya Aine, somewhat surprised, spread her fingers and lightly covered her mouth. She hadn't expected Kusano Akira to agree; she had been prepared for rejection.

"Then from now on we're a band!"

"I'll be in charge of the lead vocals and guitar for our band now, and Kusano, you'll be the keyboardist." Aine tapped her fingers lightly, muttering to herself, "Next, I'm planning to invite Takamatsu Akari from our class. I heard from a friend that she used to be in a band. Kusano, have you spoken to her?"

“Takamatsu-kun,” Kusano Akira thought of the girl who was like a small animal and shook his head, “I guess you could say that. I tried to talk to her before, but she seemed to be afraid of me. She wouldn’t talk to me.”

"Oh, okay, let's go ask Deng first. But where should we look for her?" (Tai)

Hearing Kusano Akira's words, Chihaya Aine wasn't discouraged. Perhaps Takamatsu Akari was just the kind of person who was shy around strangers; her new friends had also mentioned that Takamatsu Akari didn't often interact with others.

As the student council president and the class's most beloved girl, Chihaya Aine has encountered many introverted people. She's even played with people like Takamatsu Akari before. Shyness is nothing to Chihaya Aine!

"Let's go then. Takamatsu should be in her club, right? I think she's in... the Astronomy Club?"

Chatting as they walked to the front of the teaching building, Gao Songdeng was there too. She stared blankly at the top of the door upstairs, as if something there had caught her attention.

"Ah, I found it, Akari-kun—" Aine saw Takamatsu Akari staring blankly and excitedly ran over. Not paying attention to her footing, she tripped over a trash bag on the ground and fell to the ground. "Ouch..."

"Ah...!" Akari turned around and saw Aine lying on the ground. "Chihaya-san... are you hurt?"

"Band-Aid... Band-Aid... Ah." Deng rummaged through his clothes, then suddenly remembered something. "Wait for me." He then turned and ran into the teaching building.

"Wait, Akari!" Aine stretched out her arm toward Akari, but unfortunately Akari ran too fast and didn't hear her call.

"Can you still stand up?"

Kusano Akira came over, reached out to Aine, and gently helped her up.

"It's okay, I'm in pretty good physical condition, so I wasn't actually injured."

Aiyin stood up and gently brushed the dust off her clothes.

"But Deng's trash hasn't been thrown away yet."

"I'll go throw it away. You go talk to Gao Song about the band. If I go too, I might scare her again."

Kusano Akira waved his hand dismissively, picked up the two bags of trash, and walked toward the trash can.

"Thank you for your help." After saying that, Ai Yin quickly ran into the teaching building.

Um, do I have some kind of bias towards Chihaya Aine? Before, I only knew she was a very capable person, but now that I'm closer to her, she seems kind of silly.

Kusano Akira muttered a complaint to himself as he threw the trash into the bin.

These two bags of trash are quite heavy. It's amazing that Gao Song was able to carry them all by herself. She's stronger than she looks, even though she's so small.

"I'm just a guitarist and lead vocalist..." Kusano Akira took out his phone and glanced at it. There was an account called "crychic" on it. He shook his head and put his phone away. Takamatsu Akari's original role was that of a lead vocalist, which conflicted with the role that Chihaya Aine wanted.

Afraid that going up there would scare Takamatsu Akira again, Kusano Akira didn't go up immediately after throwing the item. Instead, he waited downstairs for a while and slowly went upstairs when he felt that it was about time.

3 When Kusano Akira came upstairs, he found Aine and Akira staring at each other awkwardly. Aine breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Kusano Akira and quickly introduced him to Akira, "Akira, this is the band's keyboardist, Kusano Akira."

"Akira..." Takamatsu Akira stared blankly at Kusano Akira, who nodded in response.

She called me by my first name right away, without even adding "classmate" in the title. They must be really close to me to call me that, or maybe she's just naturally innocent? Then why does she call me "Chihaya-kun"? Aine thought to herself.

"Anyway, Kusano and I are going to karaoke together later. Do you want to come with us, Akari? We can talk about the band there."

When was the decision made? Kusano Akira looked around the astronomy club's classroom and complained. The astronomy club was not very big, and a bunch of miscellaneous items were piled up here. It was more like a converted storage room than a department. However, it was reasonable that there was only one member, Takamatsu Akari. It was already amazing that the club hadn't been abolished.
